1. "DO IT AND YOU WILL LIVE!" Dear friend of revival, God has invested you with an enormous spiritual potential, which will manifest through your new creature. Jesus has come to live in you and he will overtake you. His desire is to manifest Himself and accomplish His plan through you and with you. Jesus in you is the hope of glory. He will lead you from power to power and from glory to glory amid profound changes that the Holy Spirit and the Word of God works in your life. There will not be only some occasional 'major breakthrough' in your life but your whole life will be an amazing manifestation of the power of the Kingdom of God - every day. Glory to God! Luke 10:25-28: And behold, a certain lawyer stood up and made trial of him, saying, Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? And he said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou? And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbor as thyself. And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: THIS DO, AND THOU SHALT LIVE. The salvation of Jesus is God's solution to the sin problem of the mankind. God revives everyone's spirit, who surrenders himself unto Jesus. As a result of the new birth a believer will have a new creature inside him. The new creature has the power, ability and calling to LOVE AND WORSHIP GOD. All victories, solutions, supernatural blessings and works of faith will manifest when you start to worship God. Jesus will become your Healer, when you worship Him as your Healer. Jesus will manifest Himself to you as your Miracle Worker when you worship Him as your Miracle Worker. He will manifest Himself as the Most High God as you worship Him according to His Word. He IS the Allmighty, Omnipotent, Omnipresent and Omniscient God ALL THE TIME but He REVEALS Himself to you according to your worship! John 4:23-24: But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and truth: for such doth the Father seek to be his worshippers. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship in spirit and truth. Jesus said to a Pharisee these important words "THIS DO, AND THOU SHALT LIVE!" The DOING will release the blessings of God. Faith without works is powerless. When you worship God in Spirit and truth you are obeying the first and greatest commandment. Obeying any other commandment is worthless without obeying the first one. When you worship God He will open His purpose and abundant blessings to you. After tasting the presence of His Glory you can not cease to worship Him! The touch of His Glory will change you to another person. Jesus told to a certain minister: "As soon as I see My child to worship Me, my heart is touched and I will send My Holy Spirit and My angels to minister him." Why the act of worship of God is so important and powerful for you as a believer? It is because the root of sin is the temptation to turn the man away from looking at God and to direct his mind and thoughts towards the natural realm that are under the influence of darkness. This was the temptation in the Garden and this will always be the temptation in the world. Worship of God will destroy the very root of the fall of a human being. Worship of God in Spirit and truth will deliver you from sin - by focusing your heart to God who is the only Source of Life and Light for you. When you worship Jesus He will reveal Himself to you more and more. He will come to you in worship and praise, and the blessing of His salvation will flood over you. Glory to God! Rom 8:13: …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. Your healing, all breakthroughs, any renewal of your anointing, new calling and all the blessings of God will come when you worship God. Worship the Lord daily in a new devoted way! Obey the first commandment out of love in your heart - and the presence of the Lord will overtake you. Speak your love, devotion, longing of His fellowship, reverence and adoration to Him. Pour out the deepest desires, wishes, dreams, fears and anxieties in the magnificent flow of love and worship before Jesus. In His presence you will see the way out and solutions for any problem. In His Mighty presence you will overcome the power of natural conditions, sicknesses and poverty. The Lord will lift you up to rule with Him on the level of His power, holiness and wisdom. Everything is possible for him who believes! In the presence of Jesus your faith will rise up and you will believe in your heart that you have received. Jesus will change you in His presence. He will fill you with His power and lift you into new power and glory. 2. THE LAW OF SIN AND DEATH The breakthrough in any area of your life has come when you have got the firm faith of full salvation. You must know and trust that the law of sin and death is destroyed forever and the law of the Spirit of life has taken effect in your life. Jesus has prepared all this for you. Your task is to walk on this road, receive His truth and live accordingly. The power of the Word of God and the Holy Spirit will give you the right, the capacity and the tools to do this. You have the God given right and call to hate sin with all of your might. You are called to love righteousness with all of your might. This inner power field is Jesus in you. He will lead you to renounce from sin and will merge you into His righteousness, faith, love and glory. The aim of every touch of the enemy is to twist you away from God and turn you to look at yourself. When you look at your own capacity the enemy will captivate you with the thoughts of unbelief, depression, self-pity, fear, rejection etc. Psychology can help you only a little, because it will teach you to look at things that are only on a human level. On the level of human thinking you will concentrate more in your weaknesses and problems. It will make you more and more discouraged. Only worship of God will direct you out from your problems and weaknesses. The worship will restore your faith that will open God the miraculous way to help you in your natural circumstances. The sicknesses, demons, accidents and hurts are dangerous tools of the enemy against your peace. With these tools the enemy aims to turn you away from God and cause you to curl up with your problems, pains and failures. Any sickness, oppression or destruction may lead into increasing unbelief, temptations and depression. The evil plan of the enemy is to utterly destroy the sick person. But thanks to God, Jesus has come to destroy all works of the devil! Jesus hates sin and sickness in the same way. Sickness is part of the wage of sin in the body. Therefore the redemption from the sin includes the equal redemption from all sicknesses as well. Jesus wants you to be well in all areas of your life. If you desire, He will anoint you to preach Good News to the poor, to heal the sick and to call sinners into repentance. You will be called also to preach abundant and supernatural favour of God to the people who surrender their whole life to God because it is included in the salvation of Jesus. Glory to God! If a believer worships his flesh it will lead him into powerless religion where demons, doctrines of men and tradition are ruling. Religion is a deadly condition of life. We do not want to describe its disgusting character more. Repent from all worship of your flesh, because it will prevent your healing, anointing, financial blessing and fulfilment of the promises of God in your life. The life of God comes only by the Holy Spirit. Rom 8:6-8: For the mind of the flesh is death; but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace: because the mind of the flesh is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can it be: and they that are in the flesh cannot please God. One form of worship of the flesh among the believers is the love of cosiness. The more a believer worships his own cosiness the more powerless and choosy he will become concerning the efforts, sacrifices and responsibilities of the work of the Kingdom of God. Selfish desires and interests will overtake the life and the work of the God's Kingdom is not anymore so important. This kind of life style is bad sowing and it will result increasing weakness, lack, trouble and poverty. If this is your problem, condemn it and renounce it. Stand up and start working for God and you will be delivered from the spirit of infirmity and poverty. Present yourself as a living sacrifice for God and you will be healed from many afflictions in that moment! Start sowing abundantly into God's business and He will open the rivers of blessings in your life! 1 John 3:21-22: 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. Do not wait for revival in your deceitful fleshy dreams! Do not expect that God would do for you anything that He has told YOU TO DO. He is faithful to do all that is on His responsibility - faster and better than you can imagine! Learn to do your part and God will take care of His part with awesome power! The Lord expects that you will worship Him and move on in faith and obedience. In this way you will open the way for the Lord to manifest His miraculous power in your life! 3. THE THREATH OF THE AMMONITES 1 Sam 11:1-2: Then Nahash the Ammonite came up, and encamped against Jabesh-gilead: and all the men of Jabesh said unto Nahash, Make a covenant with us, and we will serve thee. And Nahash the Ammonite said unto them, On this condition will I make it with you, that all your right eyes be put out; and I will lay it for a reproach upon all Israel. Lot and his daughters committed the sin of fornication. Amon and Moab were born from this act. Please note that the Ammonites and Moabites became the most difficult enemies for the Israeli when they were taking over the promised Land. Now the Ammonites wanted to enslave the Israeli living in Jabesh-gilead by forcing them into a destructive covenant. The price of the covenant would have been to put out all the right eyes. This would have made the Israeli invalid to fight against any enemy. None can discern the distance of the objects with a one eye. Such a man is totally incapable to do warfare and will be enslaved for his whole life. The threat of the Ammonites is a parable of what will happen if believers make agreements with their flesh. Prophetic eyesight will be lost, the light of the Word will become tarnished, the guidance of the Spirit will disappear, the manifestation and the offices of the Spirit will fade out, economic distress will take over and the church will become captive of the enemy. Do you want to get rid of this kind of development or situation? Do you want to deliver other people from this destruction? If you answer 'yes' then you must be totally honest and resolute in renouncing the temptations of the flesh - forever! After doing this God will deliver you and give you power to minister and deliver other people in Jesus name. Praise God! Heb 12:1-2: Therefore let us also, seeing we are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, LOOKING UNTO JESUS THE AUTHOR AND PERFECTER OF OUR FAITH, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising shame, and hath sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Look at Jesus! He has prepared you a way out from your prison. Start to worship Him and look at His completed work on the cross. Rise up as a new creation and leave behind the sinful life. Let Jesus restore your faith in your heart. Believe you have been forgiven already. Kill your flesh by the Spirit and do not allow the enemy to deceive you. Condemn all sin, every lust, inequity or other work of darkness. Come into perfect light of God as a new creature and start living holy life which will lead you into success and blessings! Eph 5:11: …and have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather even reprove them; You have survived this far only because of the mercy of God. Do not expect that the road would be easy if you do not turn away from flesh. The enemy is roaring around you in order to destroy you. But there is salvation for you in Jesus. Immeasurable glory is prepared for you. In this glory your destiny and visions of God will become fulfilled. In His glory the promises of God will be yes and amen. His mercy allows you to renounce the slavery of your flesh here and right now. Make new, fruitful and holy decisions in the name of the Lord - today! 4. FREEDOM FROM THE LAW OF SIN AND DEATH The salvation of Jesus includes complete victory over the law of sin and death. The weapons of the enemy are destroyed. You are absolutely called to triumph over all the power of the devil. Receive the word that will produce the faith of victory in your heart. Jesus has destroyed the power of sin and death totally and forever in all areas of your life. Receive this amazing truth, rise up and rejoice! Glory to God! Rom 7:16-23: But if what I would not, that I do, I consent unto the law that it is good. So now it is no more I that do it, but sin which dwelleth in me. For I know that in me, that is, in my flesh, dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me, but to do that which is good is not. For the good which I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I practise. But if what I would not, that I do, it is no more I that do it, but sin which dwelleth in me. I find then the law, that, to me who would do good, evil is present. For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: but I see a different law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity under the law of sin which is in my members. These Bible verses teach us following: 1) The purpose of the law is to reveal the character of sin. Although it is unpleasant to find out the evil presence of sin in one's life, the believer has to admit that the law is good. The law of God is righteous and its purpose is to lead us to seek salvation from God, not from the law itself. 2) The attempts to fulfil the law will lead into the revelation that this road does not produce freedom from sin. The more you try the better you will understand that you need salvation from God in order to get rid of sin. 3) The power and root of sin is in the flesh of the man. In this context we have to include the old man, defiled mind, sinful feelings and thoughts in the concept of the flesh. The power of demons is in the wounds of the soul and body and in the lies of devil in the mind. The very root of sin is in the flesh. The body of flesh can not be reconciled with God and it will not inherit the Kingdom of God. Therefore, in order to get saved every man needs to get born again from God. The only way to deal with the flesh is to kill it by the Spirit. 4) In the flesh there is no presence of the Spirit or godly nature. Paul says that there is nothing good in the flesh. God is the spirit and therefore we must become transformed into new spiritual beings - in order to become His children. This begins here on the earth in the new birth. The flesh is become defiled irrevocably and is condemned to disappear. The eternal true being of man dwells only temporarily in the body of flesh. The solution of God to overcome the destruction that works through the flesh is KILLING THE FLESH BY THE SPIRIT. God has given your new creature the authority and faith to WORSHIP, OBEY AND BE UNITED WITH GOD and be filled with the Holy Spirit - in spite and in the presence of the weakness of your flesh. God calls you to rule your life by your spirit, not by your flesh, mind or feelings! When you exercise the authority of the spirit in co-operation with the Holy Spirit, you are allowed to receive the blessings of God into you body of flesh. You need to use your authority and cast out the demons and sicknesses from your flesh and keep your body healthy. Your body of flesh is designed to serve the purposes of God here on the earth. 5) Your new creature has the mind of God and desire to do good things. But if your old man controls your life, you will not do that is good. THIS DOES NOT MEAN THAT YOU WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO DO GOOD, BUT YOU MAY CHOOSE NOT TO DO GOOD. This conflict will prevail until you - after having tried everything else - make a decision to stand up as a new creature into the life style that God has planned for you. 6) The conflict between the new creature and the old man can not be reconciled. The battle will prevail and the victory over the flesh is pre-determined. You need to learn to yield unto the Holy Spirit and not unto your flesh. The Holy Spirit is your Helper, Comforter, Wisdom and Power in all situations. There is no temptation or no situation where you should yield unto your flesh. Take a lead by your spirit and do not return to the old life style. Jesus has delivered you from the law of sin and death. Because you are declared to be free, keep your freedom! If you have been declared free in a customs office, you would be considered foolish if you again and again go through the gate of "goods to declare"! You are declared free and God looks at you like this - through the blood of His Only Son. You are made righteousness by faith in the perfect salvation of Jesus. 7) The power of sin is in the flesh. Therefore, when you stop to worship your flesh and yield yourself unto the Holy Spirit, the victory by the faith has taken effect. Your new creature is born of God and therefore free from sin and victor over sin from the birth. You are called to grow as a new creature and rule over your life with Jesus. 8) The power of sin will manifest always when you want to do good or choose right. Then the devil tries to seduce you into other direction. The presence of the evil is through the flesh but it is not invincible - on the contrary! You just learn to rule your life according to the leading of the Holy Spirit and the Word of God. There will be a battle, but you are equipped to win this battle all the time. Be subject therefore unto God; but resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 9) Any time you yield yourself unto the flesh, you will become captive of the law of sin and death. Your spirit will recognize this condition and will call you into repentance. Then repent quickly and continue holy life in freedom. Bible shows that there is no reason why a believer should be obliged to yield himself unto flesh. It will always be a free choice - all according to the desires of your heart. If you find an evil desires in your heart, confess them to Jesus, renounce them and receive the cleansing by His blood. Rom 7:24-8:2: Wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me out of the body of this death? I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then I of myself with the mind, indeed, serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin. There is therefore now no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus made me free from the law of sin and of death. You are free from the law of sin and death through the blood of Jesus. You are delivered into new and holy life as a new creature. You have the right to serve the law of the Spirit of God in love and truth. You are born of God and you will love the light. Therefore you will rise up and minister in the righteousness. Glory to God! 5. HOW DO YOU BELIEVE AND LIVE? God reigns with His Word. The Holy Spirit executes what God says. The human beings have authority to operate in the visible realm. Therefore God needs people who hear, preach and obey His word in order to exercise His reign. You are a key person for God, because you may become a powerful partner of God in order to fulfil His plans. Let the Word and the Spirit of wisdom enlighten your understanding. Receive God's plans by faith and speak them out by your mouth. Stand up in the heavenly position of a son/daughter of God and do great things with God! Rom 6:11-18: Even so reckon ye also yourselves to be dead unto sin, but alive unto God in Christ Jesus. Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey the lusts thereof: neither present your members unto sin as instruments of unrighteousness; but present yourselves unto God, as alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God. For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under law, but under grace. What then? shall we sin, because we are not under law, but under grace? God forbid. Know ye not, that to whom ye present yourselves as servants unto obedience, his servants ye are whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness? BUT THANKS BE TO GOD, THAT, WHEREAS YE WERE SERVANTS OF SIN, YE BECAME OBEDIENT FROM THE HEART TO THAT FORM OF TEACHING WHEREUNTO YE WERE DELIVERED; AND BEING MADE FREE FROM SIN, YE BECAME SERVANTS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS. Read this passage of Bible again and again. Let the truth therein become established in your heart. Confess and proclaim these truths and let them rule your life. Condemn any resistance of your mind against the truths of God and be strengthened in truth. Believe that you have been made free by the blood of Jesus and by the power of the Holy Spirit. Consider yourself being completely free by faith in Jesus name, and you will be free forever! The written Word of God confirms this, glory to God! Believe and live like this: 1) Because of the perfect salvation of Jesus you must CONSIDER YOURSELF TO BE DEAD TO SIN BUT ALIVE TO GOD. Trust that you are made totally free from the bondages of sin through Jesus. Proclaim and profess this truth in your life. If you have received Jesus in your heart but you can not proclaim to be free, or if you proclaim that sin still has dominion over you, then you certainly will stay in the slavery of sin. According to your faith it will happen to you. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 2) LET SIN HAVE NO DOMINION OVER YOU! The power of sin works through the lusts of the flesh and through the lies of devil. Present your body as a living and acceptable sacrifice to serve God. Do not let any lie to lead you astray. Although you would make a mistake, your sins are still forgiven by the blood of Jesus. Stand up quickly, condemn your sin and believe you have been reconciled with God again in Jesus name! 3) TRUST ON THE FACT THAT YOU HAVE BEEN MADE FREE FROM THE POWER OF DEATH AND YOU HAVE BECOME ALIVE IN JESUS. Because you are free from the law of sin and death, present your members as instruments of righteousness according to the will of God. The quickening power of the Holy Spirit will refresh, strengthen and heal you continuously. 4) THE SIN SHALL NOT HAVE DOMINION OVER YOU, BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT UNDER THE LAW BUT UNDER THE GRACE. All guilt and condemnation has been wiped away from your life. Mercy of God will allow you to stand up in any situation and all the time. Because you have this freedom, worship God for His awesome grace and love and serve Him with everlasting joy! 5) YOU HAVE FREEDOM TO CHOOSE, WHOM YOU OBEY, WHETHER OF SIN TO DEATH OR OF RIGHTEOUSNESS TO LIFE. The dominion of sin is a lie and you must not believe it. The sin has power only through worship of the flesh which means yielding unto flesh. Strengthen your faith and commitment to worship and serve God and you will stay free. 6) OBEDIENCE FROM HEART TO THIS TEACHING WILL LEAD YOU TO SURRENDER UNTO GOD and to become a servant of righteousness. Rom 8:1-6: There is therefore now no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus made me free from the law of sin and of death. For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God, sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: that the ordinance of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. For they that are after the flesh mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. For the mind of the flesh is death; but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace… Proclaim this by faith; "I surrender all my life to God and receive full righteousness by the blood of Jesus. May all dominion and oppression of sin, that has been working through my flesh, be destroyed in Jesus' name. In the name of Jesus I have dominion over all sin, sickness and darkness that would operate through my flesh. I renounce all failure, yielding unto the flesh and compromise thinking. I leave all wounds of my soul and body to be healed by Jesus and I renounce all demonic forces that are working through my wounds. Thank you Jesus, that my battle over the sin in my flesh has been won. In the name of Jesus, I will not withdraw from the victory that I already have. I will stand up as a new creature in the power of the Spirit to serve God. Thank You Jesus, in You I have been set into heavenlies and commanded to be victor over sin. It will always be like this. Glory be to God, amen!" When you consider yourself as victor - with Jesus and in His Mighty Name - over any of your battle, you will be a victor. Do not let any unbelief, wound of your emotions or negative experience to pull you down from your throne of faith in Jesus name! By the blood of Jesus and in His Magnificent Name: "Be free, rise up in power and live in victory!" 1 John 2:15-17: Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the vain glory of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever. 6. THE LAW OF THE SPIRIT OF LIFE RULES The anointing of the Holy Spirit executes the law of the Spirit of Life - which is the will of God. God wants to bring life, blessing, victory, power, righteousness, joy and peace into the lives of all people and all creation. The anointing of the Holy Spirit executes the law of the Spirit of Life together with your faith. The power of the Spirit is immense. No spiritual or natural disorder or power will be able to prevent the fulfilment of God's reign when you have surrendered yourself to rule in unity with Jesus - using the authority of faith in this visible world. John 16:12-15: I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. 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. The Holy Spirit will take of the possession of Jesus and the Father. He will be able to perform any solution, blessing and new creative work in this world. Nothing is impossible for Him. But He needs your co-operation, because you have the authority in this world. You need to listen to Him, receive from Him and then use your authority of faith by speaking and acting in this visible realm. The Holy Spirit will honour the order of God - designed in the creation of the man. He can operate in this world only when a human being is willing to co-operate with Him. He needs someone who receives from Him and believes with Him. He needs someone to preach His words and then He can come in great power and confirm His Words by mighty signs and wonders. You can be that kind of person! Glory to God! When you have dealt with your flesh you will be able to operate in the realm of Spirit in a new anointing. Your spirit will be free to visit God's realm and receive supernatural things. Your new creature has capacity to believe as God believes. By studying the Word of God you will learn to think as God thinks and understand the plans of God. The Holy Spirit will speak to you all the time and will release increasing fire and glory over your ministry. The slavery of your natural mind and other elementary forces is broken and you will be translated into new life in the power of the Spirit. Glory and honour to God of the Universe! The favour of God will descend upon you and new opportunities will be revealed. Your faith will rise and powerful works start to manifest through your life. The sinners will repent when you preach. The sick will be healed and the demons will flee when you proclaim the words of faith under the anointing. Be blessed in the Mighty Name of Jesus! With love and blessings  |
