THE BIBLE
Read the Bible every day. For example, you can download a Bible app by scanning the QR code (Bible.com app has all languages) and start in the New Testament. The book John is a good one to start with for example. You will understand everything better by reading the Bible and your mind will be renewed. The Bible says for example not to worry, to be thankful and many many more things which will get you a better life.
You can also find good teachings on YouTube. Search for example for Derek Prince, Michael Koulianos, Eric Gilmour, Brian Guerin, Mike Connell, Kathryn Krick, Tom de Wal (Dutch).
TALK TO GOD EVERY DAY
What works well is to set aside time for God in which you cannot be disturbed. Early morning is a great time for that.
You sit down and focus on God. You can receive thoughts, specific Bible texts or visions (images in your mind). You can also share your emotions and feelings with God. It will help you to write down the things you've receive from God. Set aside time each day to be quiet and talk to God. Make sure nothing or no one can disturb you.
‘The Lord would speak to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his friend.’
EXODUS 33:11
God has very specific things for your life. If you find Him you will find yourself because He made you. God wants to show you why you’re here on earth. It will deeply touch you what He has placed inside of you.
WORSHIP
In thanks for what God has done for you, you can worship God. Worship is singing songs to God for example. Expressing gratitude to God is a powerful thing.
You can find beautiful worship on YouTube. For example, search on Bethel Worship or Upperroom Worship. Through worship you will begin to experience God's presence more and more.
‘Yes, I will thank you for as long as I live. I will lift up my hands and I will pray to you. You make me very happy, better than a feast of good food. I will sing happy songs to praise you.’
PSALMS 63:4-5
SPEAKING IN TONGUES
If you are baptized in water and in the Holy Spirit then you might have been speaking in tongues. Speaking in tongues is an amazing heavenly language which build yourself up and brings deep fruit in your life. The darkness hates when you speak in this language. In Acts 2:4 you can read what happened when the Holy Spirit came for the first time after Jesus was taken up into Heaven. You can find many prayers in tongues on YouTube.
‘They were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other languages as the Spirit enabled them to speak.’
ACTS 2:4
‘People who speak in a tongue build up themselves; those who prophesy build up the church.’
1 CORINTHIANS14:4
‘If someone speaks in tongues, he is speaking only to God. The people who hear him do not understand his message. God's Spirit is causing him to speak about secret things.’
1 CORINTHIANS 14:2
"During a mission trip, I met a man who smelled of alcohol. He did not seem to be doing well. I struck up a conversation with him, and his girlfriend joined us. This couple lived in a van near the Spanish coast. The woman told me they had very little, but that God helped them in miraculous ways every time. She told me how her boyfriend had been in a motorcycle accident. When he fell, he suddenly saw the flames of hell and realized that the spiritual world is real. His life changed from that moment on, but he did not yet know God. I began to pray for him, and after a few minutes, I started praying in tongues. Suddenly, the man fell to his knees crying, and I joined him. We embraced each other as I continued to pray in the heavenly language. The man wept and recognized that it was the language of God. He asked me if this was the spiritual language from God, and I confirmed that it was indeed the language of heaven. Without ever having heard it before, the man recognized that it was a supernatural language."
DISCIPLESHIP
One of the last things we want to share with you is about being trained to walk in your destination.
Like we’ve mentioned before being connected to people who know Jesus for many years (people from a good church for example) you can grow very fast.
‘Then Jesus came close to them and said, “All authority of the universe has been given to me. Now wherever you go, make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. And teach them to faithfully follow all that I have commanded you. And never forget that I am with you every day, even to the completion of this age.”’
MATTHEW 28:18-20
Being discipled means that you learn to do what Jesus did. Jesus reached out in love to people who needed a miracle in their life. Jesus also discipled people. He showed them how to walk in the power of God and the new life. There are very good schools and short programs where you can be discipled. This time will change your live completely. You can pray and ask God what to do.
Some good schools are:
Awakening school (Germany - Deutsch and English) https://awakeningeurope.com/school
Frontrunners Bible school (The Netherlands - Dutch and English) https://frontrunners.com/en/part-time-bible-school
Revival school (France - French and English) https://healing-ministries.org/our-trainings/
GO OUT AND PRAY
Now that you know following Jesus is the greatest hope for the world, start sharing what He did for you with others. Simply share your story. The Holy Spirit is your Helper, and He will help you do this, lean on this truth. Sharing your faith is a process, the more you do it, the easier it becomes, and the greater the miracles you will see. The Holy Spirit inside you is there to help both you and others. You will see miracles simply because you prayed for someone. Walking in the authority Jesus gave you is a beautiful journey. You will receive more love and faith in your heart, and you will be amazed by what God can do through your hands.
‘So you must go to people in every country of the world. Teach them how to become my disciples. Baptize them by the authority of God the Father, his Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach them to obey everything that I have taught you. You can be sure that I will be with you always. I will be with you until the end of time.’
MATTHEW 28:19-20
‘And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: that your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.’
1 CORINTHIANS 2:4-5
We bless you! God is going to do very special things with your life! Stay close to Him and never give up.
‘We pray that you will know God better and better.’
COLOSSIANS 1:10
