1. THE NEW ORDER OF YOUR LIFE Dear friend of revival, You are called to fulfil God's heavenly plan for you. This will be the best plan and it is fully prepared by Jesus in His salvation. The foundation and capacity to do this is in your new creature. Your spirit has become alive and you are connected to God through His Holy Spirit. The power of your 'old man' - or sinful nature - is broken and you will rise up as a new man in God's power. The breakthrough of the Spirit is the done deal in your life. Jesus will strengthen you on your way towards His full glory. You will rule in your life by faith in the power of the Holy Spirit - together with Jesus. Glory to God for his awesome salvation! Col 1:25-28: ...the church, 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: whom we proclaim, ADMONISHING EVERY MAN and TEACHING EVERY MAN in all wisdom, that WE MAY PRESENT EVERY MAN perfect in Christ… The new order of your life will work in the love relationship with your Heavenly Father, Jesus and the Holy Spirit. Your motives and identity are springing up from the spirit of adoption. In this new spirit you are convinced about your salvation and position as a son/daughter of God and as a co-heir with Jesus. You are delivered from the identity of the slave of sin. These truths must be higher than any other thoughts and orientation of your life. The truth of the salvation must rule over your will, heart, thoughts, emotions, body and actions. As a new creation you are created to rule your life with Jesus. You have already got the necessary qualifications for this - as a birthday gift in your new birth. 2. LEADERSHIP OF THE SPIRIT The man is the trinity of the spirit, soul and body. The spirit means the heart of the man, where his will and the Holy Spirit dwell. The soul means the thoughts, mind and emotions of the man. The inner being - the true man - consists of the spirit and soul, that are living in the body of the flesh. The spirit, soul and body are joined together to communicate with each other. a) In the condition of sin 1) The thoughts of the mind, understanding, experiences, emotions and imaginations are leading the man. The spirit is dead and the man is living according to the knowledge of the tree of good and evil. The spirit is estranged from God and may have got into deep trouble with demonic spirits. The mind and body are captives of devil, sicknesses and condemnation. 2) The information coming through the senses from the visible and natural circumstances leads the man. He does not recognise his potential with God. The powers of darkness are oppressing him through the desires of his flesh. The man seeks the satisfaction of his flesh and trusts on visible things or demonic forces. 3) The spirit is oppressed under the influence of demonic forces, which enter through natural senses and directly into the thoughts. In this condition the man can only hope for the salvation or long after freedom from his slavery. But God has prepared a place for Jesus in everyone's heart - even in the deepest darkness. He needs only to hear the gospel and receive it. 4) In the condition of sin the life of the man is controlled by the lies of the enemy. The man cannot discern his condition, God's realm or devil's realm truthfully. The world of unbeliever consists of his own wisdom, emotions, imagination, visible world and lies of darkness that he believes to be true. Joh. 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. b) The salvation means
Every man in the world in any condition of life is entitled to receive all the blessings of salvation in Jesus' name. The blessings of salvation will take effect in anyone's life, who receives Jesus into his heart and confesses Him by his mouth as His Saviour, Deliverer, Lord and Miracle Worker - as the Bible teaches. The one who believes will be saved but the one who does not believe will be destroyed. Absolutely powerful and simple! Glory to God! c) After receiving Jesus 1) The spirit is born again and re-united with God. The guilt and condemnation are removed and THE SPIRIT WILL ARISE TO LEAD THE LIFE according to the plan of God. The Holy Spirit will enter into the man and He will start to teach, lead, restore, transform and renew him. 2) The powers of the soul are set under the authority of the spirit. In this way the devil will lose his dominion over the man, because now the highest authority of God will rule in co-operation with the man THROUGH HIS SPIRIT. The word of God renews the mind into new thinking, identity, goals and values. This is the way HOW THE SALVATION WILL COME INTO EFFECT IN THIS WORLD. 3) The controlling power coming through the information of the senses and the visible circumstances will lose its dominance, because the believer sees and understands by his spirit that God rules over all spiritual and natural realms. The presence of Jesus will satisfy the soul and the temptations through the flesh loose their power. 4) God's Word and the Holy Spirit will destroy the lies of the devil. The man sees his condition, as well as the position of the powers of darkness, in the light of God. God shares His heart, mind, wisdom and vision to His people. The followers of Jesus will rise up in the power of the Holy Spirit and destroy the works of evil in this world. You need to co-operate in faith with God in order to make this happen in your life. You need faith in order to walk in the dimension of the salvation which is already prepared for you. If you would think that your spirit would not have the right or power to rule, you will stay in slavery. You must reject this kind of spiritual minority, because you are God's beloved son/daughter, commanded into His Glory. Take your position and leave the slavery behind forever! Glory to God! In the soul of the born again person there are simultaneously present both "the new creature" and "the old man". The old man will manifest himself immediately if a believer ignores or rejects the leadership of the spirit - thus yielding unto the flesh and the powers of his soul. The new creature will manifest himself always when the believer BY FAITH rules his life in submission to God - according to His Word and Spirit. Be strengthened as a new creation and consider your old man to be dead! Eph 2:1-6: And you did he make alive, when ye were dead through your trespasses and sins, wherein ye once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the powers of the air, of the spirit that now worketh in the sons of disobedience; among whom we also all once lived in the lust of our flesh, doing the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest — but God, being rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace have ye been saved), and raised us up with him, and made us to sit with him in the heavenly places, in Christ Jesus… The source of your problems is the old man, where disobedience, hatred, violence, lies, deception, lusts and perversions have their way to disturb you. The solution for the peace, blessing and victory of your life is to rule by faith according to the mind of the spirit putting aside the old man. The new order of the dominion of the spirit has taken effect in your life. Rom 8:12-14: So then, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh: 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. 3. RENEWAL OF THE MIND There may be remains of ungodly thoughts, memories and hurt emotions in your soul. If you give them 'a safe haven' in your mind, they will work against your faith and peace and have enough power to prevent your blessings and healing. They are the highways of the demons which may keep you oppressed in temptations and unbelief. Proclaim the truths of God's salvation against those strongholds. Bring your mind into submission to God and His word. Reject all evil thoughts, feelings and memories. Forgive to the others and receive forgiveness for yourself. Let Jesus' love heal and deliver you. He is great in love, His mercy is endless and His glory irresistible. The works of the evil are destroyed in your life forever. Praise God! Sometimes the most difficult things must be dealt with in prayer by the servants of God, who have anointing in the area of deliverance and inner healing. When you are able to leave your oppression in total forgiveness and openness to Jesus, His healing power will flow into your heart, mind and body. The pace of progress depends on how deeply the truth about His salvation and His righteousness will seize your mind. Jesus lives forever and His word and Spirit is quick and powerful to do anything that is needed in you. 1 Thess 5:24: Faithful is he that calleth you, who will also do it. Rom 12:1-2: I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service. And be not fashioned according to this world: but BE YE TRANSFORMED BY THE RENEWING OF YOUR MIND, THAT YE MAY PROVE WHAT IS THE GOOD AND ACCEPTABLE AND PERFECT WILL OF GOD. Your walk of faith is not some religious toss-up game where you would try to catch your healings or blessings. It is the most certain and solid road where the Lord will lead you from power to higher power and from glory to increasing glory. In the fellowship with Jesus you will all the time receive His renewing, restoring, healing, delivering and strengthening power. You are delivered to live with God in permanent health and in freedom from sin. Glory to God! Do not let your obvious weaknesses, that come through your flesh, to discourage you. None is perfect in beauty, outlook, capacity, wisdom or strength in the body of flesh. You must make a decision that your flesh will not rule you and your destiny will not be determined by your flesh. Your potential and destiny dwell in your new creation. By faith you have the right to receive continuous life and healing for your spirit, soul and body. Take your healing and bless your body with good health and full life in Jesus name! THE SALVATION MESSAGE OF JESUS IS VERY SIMPLE AND PERFECT. IT IS TOTALLY SPIRITUAL AND THEREFORE IT IS IRRATIONAL, WHICH MUST BE CONCEIVED BY FAITH IN YOUR HEART. THEREFORE YOU NEED TO BRING YOUR MIND INTO SUBMISSION OF GOD'S ETERNAL TRUTHS AND JUST ACCEPT WHAT GOD SAYS. DO IT AND YOU WILL BE A VICTOR IN JESUS NAME! 4. OVERCOMING THE NATURAL REASONING 2 Kings 6:15-17: And when the servant of the man of God was risen early, and gone forth, behold, a host with horses and chariots was round about the city. And his servant said unto him, Alas, my master! how shall we do? And he answered, Fear not; for they that are with us are more than they that are with them. And Elisha prayed, and said, Jehovah, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And Jehovah opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha. Natural eyes and senses comprehend only visible circumstances. The mind that has been destroyed by the works of evil sees only the threats of darkness, failure and hopelessness. But these projections are lies and they will vanish in the presence of the Glory of God! By faith and by the light of the Holy Spirit you will see that God is with you all the time. God is above all circumstances and natural conditions. He is above all powers of darkness and is able to do anything He will. He needs only someone who believes the same way here on the earth! In Jesus you have a way out from every situation. You will overcome the obstacles which seem impossible by faith and with God's wisdom. The new life with God leads you into deep personal change and growth. Do not resist or fear the transformation but be continuously filled with the Holy Spirit. In the glory of the Holy Spirit you will see clearly and act boldly. When you see by faith the spiritual realm of God's reign, everything will be different in your life. The clouds of darkness will disappear and you will see how clear and easy is the way of life in front of you. Your life will be a continuous triumph with Jesus - through many trials for His glory and for your spiritual growth. Reject the dominion of your natural mind and visible circumstances. Confess that Jesus must rule above all your life. Speak to your understanding that it does not know the truth, because you can see the truth only in your spirit. The Word of God and the Holy Spirit reveal the whole truth. Your spirit is created to conceive God's truth and operate with Jesus in the supernatural realm of faith. Glory to God! Speak to your sickness that it is not the truth but the healing prepared by Jesus is THE TRUTH. Speak to your problem that it is not the truth, but the solution from Jesus is THE TRUTH. You must teach your mind to accept supernatural truths of God by speaking these truths out loud with your own voice. Speak to all fears, threats, doubts and accusations that they are lies. All that comes from the enemy is lie. All that is in Jesus and comes from Him is true. Glory to God! The devil tries to attack your life through unbelief, which dwells in your natural mind. The dumb spirit of unbelief speaks (silently!) against all truths of God: "I do not believe this!" You will overcome this thought by proclaiming with a strong voice the truths of faith according to the Word of God. Think, preach, teach and practice the reality of the salvation of Jesus as the Bible reveals it. Learn to think as God thinks and speak as God speaks. Then the Holy Spirit is able to confirm the words of God also in your mouth with powerful signs, wonders and miracles! Believe the full salvation of Jesus for yourself. Praise and worship the Lord. Speak out truths of salvation, healing, deliverance and blessings for your life daily. Confess the same as the Word of God says. Then the Holy Spirit understands what He should do with you! Glory and honour to God, amen! 5. OVERCOMING THE NATURAL EMOTIONS Natural emotions are a necessary part of your life. Their deliverance and healing is also part of the salvation. When the old man lives mostly by emotions, the new creature instead lives under the leadership of the Spirit. Therefore you must learn to discern between good/bad emotions and between influences of the Holy Spirit/the enemy. Hebrew 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. Jesus has called you to rule with Him in your life. Therefore all inspiration of your operations must come from Him. The written Word of God (logos) reveals His universal will but for many situations you will need a specific 'rhema' word. The Holy Spirit can hardly wait to reveal these to you! Glory to God! The love of God is the greatest and most perfect emotion. Other emotions are confused, unreliable and deceitful. The love of God is the perfect feeling and the motivation of the faith. That is all you need to FEEL! In the love of God your life will be restored and your wounds will be healed. Do not bask in pleasures of your natural feelings, but move on to THE PERFECT EMOTION OF GOD'S LOVE. Then your heart will be open to the inspiration of the Holy Spirit and you will see the power of God to move in your life. 1 Cor 13:4-8: Love suffereth long, and is kind; love envieth not; love vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not its own, is not provoked, taketh not account of evil; rejoiceth not in unrighteousness, but rejoiceth with the truth; beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. Love never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall be done away; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall be done away. 6. LET GOD REIGN IN YOUR THOUGHTS It is absolutely healthy for your thoughts to think about God's supernatural works. This will cause your narrow mind to widen. Some boundaries of your mind will break down and you start accepting miracles for yourself. Just proclaim the supernatural reign of Jesus over all your thoughts. Give up your vain efforts to comprehend God and His supernatural realm by your mind - only believe by your heart. Keep your spirit open and responsive for God's intervention in any situation. Then you will be more than amazed about miracles you will be witnessing soon. Glory to God! Gen 10:1-2: And Jehovah said unto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh: for I have hardened his heart, and the heart of his servants, that I may show these my signs in the midst of them, AND THAT THOU MAYEST TELL IN THE EARS OF THY SON, AND OF THY SON’S SON, WHAT THINGS I HAVE WROUGHT UPON EGYPT, AND MY SIGNS WHICH I HAVE DONE AMONG THEM; THAT YE MAY KNOW THAT I AM JEHOVAH. One purpose of the miracles in front of Pharaoh was that children of Israel later on would tell about God's signs, IN ORDER TO KNOW THAT GOD IS GOD. Speaking about God's miracles will clear the way for new miracles of God. When we remember miracles of Jesus, we force our thoughts to accept the reality of the supernatural God and His realm. We must practise this continuously, because natural thoughts have tendency to fill our minds unless we let them be renewed in God's glory. You need to take the cleansing shower of the Holy Spirit daily, sometimes even more often! Fill your thoughts with God's miracles! Read the Word of God and study His miracles. Meditate them and align your thoughts with God's thoughts. The more you fill your mind with God's supernatural realm the closer you are to the manifestation of your own miracles. Eph 1:17-23: …that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him; having the eyes of your heart enlightened, that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, and what the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to that working of the strength of his might which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and made him to sit at his right hand in the heavenly places, far above all rule, and authority, and power, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come: and he put all things in subjection under his feet, and gave him to be head over all things to the church, which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all. Learn to hear, speak and obey 'rhema' words of God. Enter into the world of faith and revelation. Call invisible things to become visible in Jesus' name. Train your spirit to operate on the level of faith and revelation - above the natural realm. Open your mind to dreams, visions and revelations. Speak about them and study them thoroughly. Break down the resistance of your natural mind and move on to the realm where Jesus rules with His Holy Spirit! Glory to God! 2 Cor 10:3-5: For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh (for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the casting down of strongholds), casting down imaginations, and every high thing that is exalted against the knowledge of God, and bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ… The real task of your spiritual authority is TO BRING EVERY THOUGHT INTO CAPTIVITY TO THE OBEDIENCE OF CHRIST. Your victory begins from the victory over your natural mind. Train your thoughts to be focused on Jesus and His salvation. Turn away from your own speculations and feelings, because they are deceitful and destructive. Believe, speak and receive Jesus as the Lord of your life, as Bible reveals Him! 7. OVERCOMING THE FLESH Rom 6:11-13: 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. Killing your flesh starts from the act of faith. You just believe and make a decision to surrender and keep your natural mind under the reign of God. Worship of the flesh is idolatry, because then you exalt your natural mind and flesh higher than God. Repent from that and exercise steadfastly the reign of God by your spirit in submission to the instructions of the Holy Spirit. Your identity is not in your natural flesh, but in your new creature. Your true character, life and purpose are in Jesus. You are a spiritual being and called into spiritual life in the Holy Spirit. In the condition of sin the man looks at the mirror and he thinks he is what he sees with his natural eyes. But this is a lie, because the true man is the inner, invisible spiritual man. Your body of flesh is only the temporary dwelling place of your spiritual being. Your personality is spiritual, your memory is eternal and your heart is truly spiritual. Your value, purpose and importance will be determined according to your spiritual growth and to your relationship with Jesus. The natural circumstances will have influence, but they must not bind your spirit and your true life with God. 2 Cor 4:16-18: Wherefore we faint not; but though our outward man is decaying, yet our inward man is renewed day by day. For our light affliction, which is for the moment, worketh for us more and more exceedingly an eternal weight of glory; while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal. Eph 3:14-17: For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, that he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, that ye may be strengthened with power through his Spirit in the inward man; that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; to the end that ye, being rooted and grounded in love… Speak to yourself out loud the Word of God that puts your flesh into the right position. Think that your flesh is killed forever in the name of Jesus and by the power of the Holy Spirit. Proclaim to your natural body that your spirit rules over it! Establish your spirit as a leader of your life and capture your thoughts into obedience to Jesus. Preach blessing and health to your body. Command all sicknesses and works of evil to be healed in your body in Jesus name! Gal 5:24-25: And they that are of Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with the passions and the lusts thereof. If we live by the Spirit, by the Spirit let us also walk. In order to win together with Jesus you need to exercise authority over the powers of darkness. You are in the midst of a real warfare, where powers of darkness are all the time attacking you. In order to win you must be offensive in your spirit. You will do this by speaking the words of God and living accordingly. You must also rebuke any temptation, demon or sickness that try to approach you - then they will flee in Jesus name. Worship Jesus and speak in full assurance of faith against the powers of darkness. Cast out demons, tormentors, curses and sicknesses out from your family's life in Jesus' name. They have no other option than to flee, because you have authority in this world to rule over them in the Mighty Name of Jesus. The more radical you are against the darkness the stronger will be the presence of the Holy Spirit in your life. Glory to God! 8. OVERCOMING THE CURSES A curse means blame, condemnation or any evil talk. It has a great power through men but it can also work through occult practises - transferred by evil spirits. Demons are behind every evil word although that would be spoken by a 'normal' person in usual conversation. An evil word is always a very dangerous fiery dart of the evil. You need the shield of faith in order to beat off them. Without protection they will penetrate into your heart and do their destructive work. Never underestimate the power of words - either good or bad. Matt. 5:21-22: Ye have heard that it was said to them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment: but I say unto you, that every one who is angry with his brother shall be in danger of the judgment; and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council; and whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of the hell of fire. The power of the words is extremely strong to a child. All what he hears will be truth for him/her, either good or evil. The words will form child's character, self-image and the identity. Bad words will create deep and difficult strongholds of evil, because they have been integrated into memories, feelings and thoughts, which are containers and channels of demonic forces. You need to forgive and renounce all evil words. God never speaks anything against you but He is always in favour of you. Renounce the deceitful lies and receive a healthy identity in Jesus. Your new creation is born to be whole and strong. In Jesus' name darkness shall not control or oppress you. Live in the love of God. Think and speak good words to yourself and to the others - and you will be delivered from all curses. 9. CO-OPERATION WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT You are called to co-operate with the Holy Spirit. You will be able to receive BY FAITH from God all that the Word of God and the Holy Spirit want to speak to you. The Holy Spirit is all the time your counsellor and teacher. He will follow you in order to serve you in all matters that you have trusted by faith into the hands of Jesus. The delay is not caused by God - it is because of the unbelief, resistance and strongholds of your mind. Trust that these strongholds will be destroyed. You can start to respond quickly, operate effectively and in total dependence on the Holy Spirit. Live in truth and rule in truth. Jesus is with you always. God rules in the atmosphere of love, mercy and freedom. Sin has accustomed people into slavery and rebellion. Therefore the realm of God seems to be difficult, incomprehensible and irrelevant for unbelievers and sceptics. But God's Kingdom is the only kingdom that will stay forever. It will be opened to all believers of Jesus in its full glory. God truly takes His people on the wide place of freedom. God is great and He cannot move in straitened circumstances. He needs freedom and you need to accept His breathtaking freedom. Your soul will need training and practise the new supernatural freedom, because the memories of the slavery may still be too close. The Holy Spirit will be your perfect teacher. He will teach you the real freedom in purity, sensitivity, adoration, responsibility and love relationship. My prayer and confession: "Dear Jesus, I thank and worship You for Your completed work of salvation also for me. I surrender my life totally unto You. I yield my life to receive You and to obey Your will. I believe that You have purchased me into freedom from sin, sickness and death by Your blood. I repent from the identity of the slave/orphan, because that condition is from darkness. I receive my position as a son/daughter of the Father God. I stand up in the power of the spirit to obey Your will in my life. I can do this, because You Jesus have carried on your shoulders all my punishment, wages of sin and works of evil. I yield my mind to accept Your whole salvation in my life. I reject all oppression of my emotions, failures and memories. I throw my burdens upon Your shoulders, Dear Jesus. I thirst, accept and receive profound change in my life daily. I stand up as a new creature and leave behind my past life. I believe that I am totally saved into Your Kingdom. I receive my position in God's plan. I want to be filled with the Holy Spirit for evermore. I receive a new heart from Jesus. Thank You Jesus that I will be transformed more and more into Your likeness. I decide to stir up all the gifts of the Spirit in me. I will proclaim the great works of God and call invisible things to come visible in Jesus name - according to Your will. Thank You Holy Spirit that You will teach me continuously the truths of God's Kingdom. Thank You for Your discipline and transforming power. Thank You Jesus that You have saved me from ALL SIN, SICKNESS, DEATH AND DARKNESS! I worship You Beloved Jesus. You are wonderful, perfect, awesome and sweet - full of love, mercy and glory. Receive my worship and take me into Your Holy Presence deeper and deeper. I want to get lost in Your Glory! Amen! With love and blessings  |
