1. RECEIVE THE NEW ANOINTING

Dear friend of revival,

A new wave of revival is rising up. These are the real Good News for everyone. You will be among the first ones to receive it because you have opened your heart to receive more of the Holy Spirit during last years. In this new wave the Holy Spirit will touch and equip the body of Christ with a new power of profound breakthroughs. Jesus will deal with His resurrection power the unsolved problems, unbroken yokes, and invincible bondages of sin. Jesus will show up as THE SAVIOUR AND DELIVERER of His people. Glory to God!

The new wave of revival will release an unshakeable spirit of victory which will produce permanent breakthroughs in all areas of life. A new reality of faith life will be established by the victories over the works of the enemy. We already have experienced the presence of this new anointing in our recent meetings. The Holy Spirit speaks all the time about this when we are in prayer and study the will and plans of God in our life.

We call this new wave of revival by the name "MANIFESTATION OF THE REIGN OF GOD". This is a direct continuation to the renewal and refreshing during the last years, but its intensity will be much greater than we have seen this far. Therefore this anointing will first manifest in the lives of those believers who have yielded themselves unto the renewal, purification and repentance, that worked in the previous waves of the Holy Spirit.

The wave of THE REIGN OF GOD will be much more revolutionary than the previous wave of God. The Lord will raise multitudes of believers on the new level of faith, anointing and ministry. Many have got tired and discouraged in the heat of repentance and cleansing. Even the vision of revival may have been faded in many hearts, but now the Lord will breathe with GREAT POWER into the lives of the pioneers of revival and set them ablaze with a new fire. Rise up in faith and leave behind the time of dark shadows and unbelief. Jesus Himself will touch you and strengthen you with His immense power. This new anointing will lift you over the circumstances in a way that you have not seen before in your life. The ascending streams of the Holy Spirit will take you into breathtaking freedom and on a new level of faith in God's glory.

In this new wave the anointings will be released quickly as the result of the choices of the hearts. If you see the anointing descending upon some child of God you will know that he has gone through the purifying and burning fire. If you see the transforming power of the Holy Spirit to touch someone you will know that the relentless hunger in his heart has called the power upon him.

If your heart is set ablaze with this message, throw yourself before the Lord and cry out to Him: "Here I am. Change, renew and equip me!" Jesus will not bypass anyone who is hungry. He will increase the army of His ministers in great number and power. The fire of God will sweep through the body of Christ with unprecedented power. Lightings of the Holy Spirit will strike from heaven into thirsty hearts with irresistible strength and might. Glory to God!

This revelation is so great that we will invest all of our capacity to preach this message. We want to bring this new wave to anywhere where there are hungry soldiers of God. We are ready to travel more than ever and meet great number of people in order to spread this fire. Time is short and we must hurry now. Be strengthened in your ministry, because the power will be with you and your reward will be great!

Matthew 24:14: And this gospel of the kingdom (=REIGN OF GOD) shall be preached in the whole world for a testimony unto all the nations; and then shall the end come.

The information about new waves and revelations of the Spirit will move very quickly throughout the world by mass media and modern communication methods. However they will have detailed timings concerning individuals, cities and countries. The timing will depend on the preparedness of the preachers and receptivity of the people. The Lord will call all people to receive this wave of Spirit. But if the threshold to step INTO THE RENEWAL of the Holy Spirit has been too high for someone, then the threshold in stepping INTO THE REIGN OF GOD will be even higher. But also the invitation will be more convincing and the reward will be higher than ever. This will be a very precious time. Jesus calls everybody to repent and surrender under the work of the Holy Spirit.

Everyone has to pay the price of surrender, cleansing, repentance and sanctification for this anointing. The call is for everyone, the oasis of God is open and He is present with His almighty power. Your breakthrough is at hand!

The manifestation of the new grace, mercy and love of God will be part of this anointing. The overwhelming love of God will break stony hearts and revive many who are depressed and bound with unbelief. Hearts will be melted, healed and strengthened by the flow of the love of the Father.

A new hope will rise up among God's people. A new fire will seize the hearts and God's people will rise up in this power. Jesus will wipe away the trails of shame, failure, curses and diseases. The reality of the resurrection power will be manifested in greater dimensions than ever before.

Joel 2:12-19: Yet even now, saith Jehovah, turn ye unto me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning: and rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto Jehovah your God; for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abundant in lovingkindness, and repenteth him of the evil. Who knoweth whether he will not turn and repent, and leave a blessing behind him, even a meal-offering and a drink-offering unto Jehovah your God? Blow the trumpet in Zion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly; gather the people, sanctify the assembly, assemble the old men, gather the children, and those that suck the breasts; let the bridegroom go forth from his chamber, and the bride out of her closet. Let the priests, the ministers of Jehovah, weep between the porch and the altar, and let them say, Spare thy people, O Jehovah, and give not thy heritage to reproach, that the nations should rule over them: wherefore should they say among the peoples, Where is their God? Then was Jehovah jealous for his land, and had pity on his people. AND JEHOVAH ANSWERED AND SAID UNTO HIS PEOPLE, BEHOLD, I WILL SEND YOU GRAIN, AND NEW WINE, AND OIL, AND YE SHALL BE SATISFIED THEREWITH; AND I WILL NO MORE MAKE YOU A REPROACH AMONG THE NATIONS…

2. MANIFESTATION OF THE REIGN OF GOD

God will manifest His reign with His undisputed and extremely convincing way even to those people who have rejected God and are ignorant about His reality. He begins to manifest Himself in a way that shakes and changes peoples' hearts. Unprecedented disturbances in nature, economic and social life are working all over the world to wake up people from false security. God prepares hearts to receive His presence in a form of a major revival.

We believe that THE REIGN OF GOD will be manifested in several stages. The Holy Spirit will operate in sudden and varying ways from case to case. There will be no pattern or predictability. The only way to follow the work of the Lord will be by THE SPIRIT OF REVELATION.

1) Change of hearts

The reign of Jesus will begin to establish in believers life with increasing conviction. The Holy Spirit will cleanse believers from selfishness, human centeredness and will lead into the relationship of love, adoration and worship with Jesus. Pride, lusts, competition, jealousy and strives will burn away in the fire of the Holy Spirit. The character of Jesus will become more visible in believers.

2) New revelation and teaching about the reign of God

Jesus will give to His spirit filled church a deeper revelation about His Person, about believers as new creatures, and about the ministry of His Church. This teaching will cleanse and convince devoted Christians about God and the blessings of the New Covenant. The power of religious death will be broken and the church will become alive - ministering in the SPIRIT OF REVELATION with great power. The spirit of faith and the gift of faith will become focus of teaching and ministry, because this is the way how God's reign will operate.

3) The body of Christ will rise up on the new level of faith

Spiritual life and active ministries will get new a tuning, orientation and power. A new spiritual thinking will be established. The presence of Jesus will be everywhere and His servants will learn how to minister in new humility, obedience and purity. The gifts of the Holy Spirit will be restored and magnified in capacity and clarity. Fivefold ministry will be restored and equipped with great authority in order to make the church ready for the work of harvest. The character of the new creature, gift of faith and the authority of the Holy Spirit will manifest in the body of Christ in much more powerful way.

4) Holiness before the Lord

God will separate and anoint His people to perform the purposes of His Kingdom. Hearts will be captivated with burning desire to join with Jesus and His plan. Personal holiness will become an extremely desirable life style. The Holy Spirit will lead devoted believers into the level of glory that has not been known before. The holiness of God will break down the power of sin and pride. Unbelievable anointing will turn even most stubborn people into the obedience to God. Holiness, obedience and humility will have true presence among God's people.

5) The anointings of power

Personal anointings will become so strong that the powers of darkness will face public defeats even through the ministry of ordinary believers. The defeats of the powers of demons and curses will become notable issues among the mass media. Humanistic and political attempts will prove powerless but the Holy Spirit will show the power of Jesus. Apostolic teams will move forward in such anointing and glory that whole villages and towns will turn to God.

6) Praise, worship and joy of the Spirit

The manifestation of the Lord will lead into magnificent moments and anointings of worship. Great miracles will happen in these times of worship. Supernatural and stunning joy of the Spirit will take over meetings. Most of the greatest miracles begin to happen under the anointing of supernatural joy. The hearts of people will become overwhelmed with God's love and they will be free to give all honour to God.

The wave of the reign of God will prepare the Church for the climax that we can call "PRESENCE OF GOD'S GLORY". It will be extremely difficult to describe this season of the greatest harvest of the world. It will be very dynamic, quick and full of supernatural manifestations. There has not been and there will not come any better time than this for the church on the earth - during this age. It will be glorious work of harvest in triumph where the heaven will shine in the eyes of God's people. That will also be the time of greatest distress and trials in the lives of those who do not surrender to Jesus. The destructive power of sin and demons will be revealed and all people will see the difference between Jesus and the devil. At the same time the power of the Holy Spirit will manifest in the highest dimension of all ages. This will force people from "the highways and hedges" to come to the Lord. Jesus will show His power, defeat the powers of darkness and deliver every hungry heart from the slavery of Satan. The church will be clothed in wedding dress and invited into heavenly wedding celebration.

Mal 4:1-6: For, behold, the day cometh, it burneth as a furnace; and all the proud, and all that work wickedness, shall be stubble; and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith Jehovah of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch. But unto you that fear my name shall the sun of righteousness arise with healing in its wings; and ye shall go forth, and gambol as calves of the stall. And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I make, saith Jehovah of hosts. Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, even statutes and ordinances. Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the great and terrible day of Jehovah come. And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers; lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.

3. FIRE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

Signs, wonders and miracles will be so powerful that the manifestations we were used to in renewal - like falling down, shaking, joy etc. - will seem common. These "normal" manifestations will only be a sign of the gathering of true believers, who expect more to come from the Lord. The extraordinary manifestations of the power of the Lord will multiply with wide spreading consequences and ripple effects. Even the deepest bondages of the darkness will suddenly be broken and the lives of people will be quickly restored into the form of a new creature. The Holy Spirit will heal sick people in great numbers in meetings, which allow Him to move freely. Special signs, miracles and powerful works will become usual among devoted Christians.

If you think that this vision is impossible or wrong, the reason for your crooked thinking may be that you have spent too much time with people who resist the Holy Spirit! Or you may have neglected intimate soaking and worship times with the Lord, where His Spirit would have refreshed and quickened you. Repent now and receive the power of the Lord and His great vision of revival!

The fire of the Holy Spirit will lead God's people into freedom from sin even in the midst of great upheaval, confusion and apostasy. Religious rebels will fall deeper into gloominess and spiritual blindness - unless they repent and receive the anointing of the Holy Spirit. There will be a great division between the believers who receive the Anointing and those who reject Him. Turn away from religious darkness and be filled with the Holy Spirit and Fire!

Deep work and great changes in hearts:

1) Love of God will be manifested with deep healing power. Jesus will quickly heal deep wounds of hearts and bodies - melting even the most hardened hearts. Cloudy and gloomy atmosphere of life will be changed into bright sunshine of joy and victory. You will catch new inspiration, faith, hope and power. You will see yourself in a new light and rise up into a new life in Jesus Christ.

2) The fire of the Holy Spirit will give you full freedom and faith against sin. You may have yielded unto depression, unbelief or even sinful practises in this present condition of your life, but now Jesus will lift you up. Thirst after the Holy Spirit and fire and you will suddenly be filled afresh.

3) The new wave of revival leads the church into deeper and more harmonious surrender unto God. True devotion in holiness will lead believers into flaming presence of the Holy Spirit and power. Adoration, worship and loving of God will create in the church a new life style, upon which the glory and power will descend and remain.

4) Jesus will lead His pioneers into the new power of faith. The yokes of unbelief will be broken and wounds will be healed. You will rise up as a new creature and the tormented life of the old man will be over. God will manifest Himself as a sovereign authority and convince you about HIS REIGN.

5) Falling into sin will become more and more bitter and disgusting for believers. The Lord will allow an increasing torment for disobedient believers. The conviction about sin will become extremely irresistible in many people's lives and lead into repentance and surrender to God.

6) The dominating power of natural conditions will break down. God's people will get astonishing visions, dreams and revelations. Jesus will lead His people into supernatural life of victory in the continuous presence of His Glory.

7) New anointings will flow in the church and every thirsty person is called to rush under "the waterfall of Niagara" in order to receive a new anointing. Those believers who are open to be changed will be transformed with surprising pace and power. The new life in Jesus will become visible in just a few minutes when the Holy Spirit is touching and healing people.

8) New unity in the Spirit will come into the lives of individuals, families, ministries, churches and the whole Body of Christ. The divisive and destroying power of sin will be broken. Personal love relationship with God will come forth. The locked, fortified gates and strong walls of prisons of darkness will be opened and astonishing blessings will appear as a result of forgiveness and reconciliation between believers and family members.

9) The fire of God starts burning all demonic lies and heresies. Ungodly religions will lose their attraction worldwide and they will become disgusting in the eyes of multitudes. Apostolic mission work will get a new strength and zeal. Anointed believers will go forth boldly to deliver oppressed souls from the bondages of Islam, Hinduism and Buddhism etc. Jesus will demonstrate that He reins the heavens and the earth. Demonic lies will be revealed and collapsed in a shocking way. Even the mass media will report with surprise about the moves of God among the nations.

10) Part of the church will experience the renewal and refreshing while the pioneers will move into the MANIFESTATION OF THE REIGN OF GOD. Desperate and hungry people will take many steps at once towards the Glory of God. The speculators, disobedient and agnostics will get into the revival through deep breakdown, desperation and hunger.

11) The anointings of healings, deliverance and financial blessings will be released in the church. The yokes of religious poverty, deceitful teaching, mammon, greed, generational curses and other powers of darkness will start breaking down in final and irrevocable way. The Holy Spirit begins to operate with awesome strength and various dimensions simultaneously in meetings.

12) All this will lead the church into THE MANIFESTATION OF THE GLORY OF GOD. The process of change and growth is profound and it will happen with varying pace, which is determined by thirst and readiness to change. Spiritual maturity, adulthood and spiritual parenthood will rise up in the church. Childishness, stubbornness, narrow-mindedness and factionalism will disappear. The spirit of wisdom will fill God's people everywhere and the new unity of hearts will prove to the world the presence of Jesus among the believers.

During the cleansing you may have gone through painful trials and you may feel yourself completely failed and powerless. This has been necessary because you first had to become empty from your own power and then the Lord would be able to equip you with HIS POWER. The fire of God will set you ablaze and provide you with supernatural inspiration and capacity. This is the transition process towards the supernatural life style, which is prepared for you in Jesus.

The Holy Spirit will call every nation to serve God. Many nations will receive revival and repent. There will be a great difference in the blessings of godly nations and curses of ungodly nations. Righteous leaders are needed in nations more than ever. The period of ethnic, ideological or national wars and conflicts will be changed to the period of religious conflicts and wars. This will be inevitable, because the high religious principalities of Satan will challenge nations into this. But the revival will disarm the devil and Jesus will bring blessing to many. Blessed are the nations that receive Jesus!

Reject now the mindset of slow proceeding and small-scale tinkering! The time of the manifestation of the new power has come. Expand your spirit and thoughts. Yield your heart, mind and will unto a quick and deep change. The more ready you are now, the faster the power of the Lord will manifest in your life. Consider ever increasing miracles fully possible and real in your life. Praise and worship the Lord, because He is great and His power will manifest in your life.

Joel 2:23-27: Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in Jehovah your God; for he giveth you the former rain in just measure, and he causeth to come down for you the rain, the former rain and the latter rain, in the first month . And the floors shall be full of wheat, and the vats shall overflow with new wine and oil. And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the canker-worm, and the caterpillar, and the palmer-worm, my great army which I sent among you. And ye shall eat in plenty and be satisfied, and shall praise the name of Jehovah your God, that hath dealt wondrously with you; and my people shall never be put to shame. And ye shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I am Jehovah your God, and there is none else; and my people shall never be put to shame.

4. REFORMATION

In this wave of the Holy Spirit the Lord will cleanse, reform and restore the doctrine of the church. Jesus will show His power in the lives of those, who will purify themselves. The call of the Holy Spirit and the hunger of the manifestation of God's power will draw people in an easy and natural way out from confused religion. The theories and doctrines of men will collapse like card houses when the power of the Holy Spirit descends.

The compromise life will become shameful and filthy among the believers. The consecration to God will become so desirable that people renounce and leave willingly sinful practices. They will even ask from each other: "What more can I do to get closer to God?"

The ministries and churches that operate in confusion and immaturity - but have tasted the living power of the Holy Spirit - will be directed naturally into full maturity and clarity. The new levels of anointing will be opened so quickly that nobody would like to look behind anymore. The intensity of the work will become so great that no one has time for futile doctrinal argumentations. The manifestation of the Lord will show the right direction. Empty theories will lose their meaning - how long-time traditions they might have been. The facts of God will speak.

The real born again believers in all Christian circles will be touched by the power of God. Jesus will start leading them with irresistible power. The denominational organisations will loose their hold on the people. Multitudes of believers will repent from child baptism and receive immersion in water into the name of Jesus. Persecution from the side of organisations will only accelerate the collapse of false religious powers.

Many revival movements will depart from dead denominations worldwide. These new movements will step into the river of God and become transformed quickly into the form of the victorious army of God. Jesus will give His resurrection power to all who desire. Any dead apparatus can not stop this development because the call of God to individual hearts will become so intense and irresistible. No one can touch the fire of God and stay in compromise life. Jesus will require all from his people, but He will also give everything that His people would need - even abundantly.

The manifestation of the reign of God will restore God's original Word and its authority. The faith will be founded on the teachings of the apostles and prophets. This will produce a whole new mindset, power and authority in the church. The Holy Spirit will lead into all truth. Confused doctrines will be cleansed and clarified. Legalism and doctrinal emphasis will disappear and the REVEALED WORD OF TRUTH in the power of the Holy Spirit will be established and will prevail. New generation of apostles, prophets, teachers, evangelists, and pastors will rise up in the power of the Spirit.

God has always revealed Himself in the midst of darkness in order to lead people into better life and greater glory. In the wave of God's reign you should not stop, because then you would lose your power quickly. It will become apparent who serves God and who does not. The power, faith and capacity will be painfully lacking in the religious circles that do not want to embrace the Holy Spirit. The drought will shock many, because it will appear astonishingly quickly. The Lord will cause this in order to persuade the stubborn believers into the truth of the Word and the flow of the Holy Spirit.

In this outpouring of the Spirit a new, genuine unity will be restored between believers who are living in the River of God. The boundaries, conflicts and doctrinal disputes will burn down in the fire of the Spirit. Spiritual maturity will increase in quality and quantity. The anointing and discernment of common laymen will exceed the anointing of those professionals who are dried out in the old flow.

Jesus will reveal Himself as the Saviour, Healer, Deliverer, Miracle Worker and Provider for every believer in a much brighter way than before. Jesus will draw His sheep towards Himself because His beauty, power, love, mercy and goodness are irresistible to multitudes of human souls.

Acts 3:19-21: Repent ye therefore, and turn again, that your sins may be blotted out, that so there may come seasons of refreshing from the presence of the Lord; and that he may send the Christ who hath been appointed for you, even Jesus: whom the heaven must receive until the times of restoration of all things, whereof God spake by the mouth of His holy prophets that have been from of old.

5. HOW TO RECEIVE THE REIGN OF GOD?

The inducers and generators of this move of God - as of all revivals - are the earnest and intense intersession, repentance and hunger of the church asking for a new manifestation of the Lord. Your personal relationship with God will determine the level of your personal revival. You may live in full revival and glory of God although the people around you would not believe at all. Noah is a great example of this even in the time of the Old Covenant.

The anointing of the reign of God will begin in your own heart. Jesus will call, touch, equip and lead you individually towards His fullness. Along with the individual call there are universal movements of God, through which special mercy of God will touch different countries, nations and cities. You will be wise if you seek and receive the Lord during the times of His visitation.

In the end time revival God is calling all nations simultaneously to Him. The Lord is reaching out His special mercy towards all nations. Therefore, become humble and receive the call of the Lord for your complete salvation. This moment will be very precious, rare and final.

How do you receive the new wave of the Holy Spirit?

1) Yield yourself unto Jesus more than ever. Hunger for the fullness of His Spirit more than ever! Then the Lord will hear you and your soul is opened to receive what you have hungered. Fall in love with Him and give all of yourself to Him!

2) In Jesus' name believe all your sins forgiven. Believe that Jesus has taken away all the punishment, wages, the essence and evil character of the sin in your life. You are declared completely righteous through His blood in front of the Father. Reject your failures, depression, guilt and anguish! Receive the joy of the salvation! You are running towards your heavenly goal and right now the Lord will offer you a new power and anointing.

3) Join into connections where believers earnestly seek the renewal and greater manifestation of the Holy Spirit. Fiery prayer group of two or three persons is much better than a great number of people who are defiled in their religious pride, complacency and criticism.

4) Surrender and commit yourself for intimate intersession and worship before the Lord. Ask Jesus to reveal yourself His character, power, glory and love. Surrender your mind and will into obedience and submission to the Holy Spirit. Gather hungry people into prayer and intersession meetings and ask God's glory to come down upon you. Make this a long term and continuous service before the Lord.

5) Empty yourself from your own preconceptions and speculations. Open your heart to Jesus and let the transforming power of the Holy Spirit cleanse you from crooked thoughts, doctrines and attitudes. Seek after profound and even painful breakdown of the hardness of your heart and let Jesus give you His heart of love. Let your desperation and hunger grow so strong that Jesus may draw you into the realm of His greater manifestation.

6) Reject the oppression, domination and slavery of your visible circumstances. Strengthen you inner man in faith and power of the Spirit. Through many trials Jesus will teach you a new life style in victorious faith. Look at every challenge of your life as a potential gate to the victory - prepared by God. The Holy Spirit will lead you into higher realm of righteousness, faith and holiness. Now Jesus will manifest Himself to you as Saviour more than you ever have believed possible. He will talk to you and you will have a power and capacity to do quickly and faithfully all that He will call you to do.

7) Study this vision of revival and let your heart be revived into new hope. God will show up for you and He has the reward with Him. Stand up before Him and He will speak to you! Be filled with the power and fire of the Holy Spirit, in Jesus' name, amen!

Receive our blessing for you:

"Jesus will manifest Himself to you in power and love of the Holy Spirit. Right now He will fill you up afresh by His Spirit. He will meet you, because you have prepared your heart. Your spirit will be quickened, depression will leave and a new faith and hope will rise. You will straighten up and you will lift up your head and go forth in a new power. The Holy Spirit will release supernatural rest and assurance of faith about the future of your life. The reality of Jesus will surround you in a new wonderful way - everywhere and all the time. The peace of God which passes your understanding will fill you and protect you in the unity with Jesus - in faith, holiness and power of the Holy Spirit. New fire of the Spirit, thirst and inspiration will inspire your heart. Your heart will be connected to Jesus and His power in such a way that the temptations of your enemy can not paralyze you anymore. The shining of the fire of Jesus will glow from your eyes and you will hurry towards your holy reward. Thank you Jesus, that you will do this miracle right now for everyone who reads this, amen."

With love and blessings
