Speaker 1: 0:00

Ilmestyskirjan kolmas luku jae yksi, verse 2. Say it with me those who have ears Listen to what the spirit of the congregation says. So these letters were written very concretely to the right congregation during the first year of the word In John's life. These churches were there and the spirit of God affected greatly and the gospel came forward and the kingdom of God came forward, and these were scriptures that were intended to deal with certain things, what happens in the church, and we see how Jesus Christ himself, the head of the church, is there in the middle of the church and fully aware of everything that happens. Do you know, at the beginning, when we were praying together? And fully aware of everything that happens? He is so full of goodness and love and mercy and he is so good in the church. But the Lord knows everything that happens. Sometimes as people we do and continue in the wrong direction for the reason that when we don't immediately get a return from bad decisions and we think that they don't matter. But do you know God Himself, the Lord Himself, is in the midst of the congregation and do you know? Now it's time to be alive and now it's time to produce good fruit.

Speaker 1: 2:36

I'll read you another chapter from Ephesians 5, chapter 14. Ephesians 5 and 14. That is why it is said Arise, you who are sleeping, and rise from the dead so that Christ may shine upon you. Say it with me rise from the dead. Hallelujah. That was the Bible saying. Rise from the dead. Today I have come to give you a heavenly revelation in all the areas of your life. Do you know that the Lord has paid the full price for you to rise from the dead, that all the things in your life can rise from the dead? If something is like that, which requires the act of improvement, then be quick to make improvement. If you have had the wrong way of thinking, then be quick to put your mindset and world of thought in order and put that line with the eternal word of God, so you know that good results are coming. Don't be such a stubborn and tough man or woman who doesn't agree with anything that the spirit of God says. What the word of God says, because the word of God is the inspiration of the Spirit of God, says what the Word of God says, because the Word of God is the inspiration of the Spirit of God and they both have the same mind. The Word and the Spirit, have the same mind. We need the great movement of the Spirit of God and we need the great work of the Word of God in our lives. The Bible says rise from the dead. It's like a commandment Now live there To every department. Some of you have done well in another area, but the other area is completely dead. I've come to say now it's time to rise from the dead, rise to life, Say amen, and the Romans continue look carefully how you walk, not like stupid, but like wise, and take the burden of the Bible. Continues Hallelujah.

Speaker 1: 4:48

Sometimes those who believe, who have been in a dry season for a long time and it's just a observation, there's no reason to spend any dry seasons what God's presence in the spirit comes but you know, some believers have been in a dry season then when they come and get a touch of God's holy spirit, their brain says now you don't have to go to church for 12 months. But we spiritualists understand that good people, from the same source which I was able to receive yesterday this morning, I am able to receive from the same source this evening Living waters, rivers. Now it's time for the rivers to flow into the wilderness. As Ylivaani said before, a flowing stream also turns into a water source. Hallelujah, like Ylifainio once said, a Maybe you came here and you look at your home and you think that I have been in in a bad time. Well, today it comes to a conclusion. Once and for all, don't drink wine, because it will cause a hangover. Just fill yourself with the spirit.

Speaker 1: 6:16

Everything that the enemy wants to say in time starts to grow many times when you drink this world's liqueur. But do you know, when you start enjoying what comes from heaven, you start to fill your soul. Then all that heavenly begins to strengthen in your life, in your family. Your patience also grows. As a father or mother, your patience grows. Kindness and friendship, your own strength, which is the power over yourself, särsivällisyys kasvaa.

Speaker 1: 6:46

Hyvyys ja ystävällisyys, itsensä hillintä, joka on voimaa itsensä yli, alkaa vahvistua. Sun elämässä. Ja sä et teet mitään typeryyksiä tällä tulevalla viikolla. Sano halleluja. Ilo saa rauha, rakkaus kasvaa, sävyisyys, halleluja, se nöyrä henki, hiljainen henki saa kasvaa. Ette sä pläjäättele ihan mitä sattuu, oikealla tai väärällä hetkellä, puhuen keskenänne psalmeilla, kiitosversillä, hengellisillä lausulueilla, veisatin ja laulatin sydämessänne Herralle, kiittäen aina Jumalaa ja Isää. Kaikesta meidän Herramme Jeesuksen Kristuksen nimessä, sano halleluja. Mutta palataksemme tähän Sardinen seurakunnan kerjeeseen, jossa on paljon yhtymäkohtia. Nohon Efesolaiskerjeen paikkaan. Koska se vastaus on sen? Että Jumalan elämän henki saa täyttää meidät, mutta ajattele, missä tilassa?

Speaker 1: 7:40

Sardin was in a state of power where the spirit of God had a great influence, but at this point they had the message that they were alive, but they were actually dead. So, as I said, you know, nowadays the message is all in all. So we can have a message that, well, that is a saying that everything is everything. So we have a saying that this is a good Christian, it is a living Christian. Or, in the congregation, there is a saying that there is life. But do you know that it is important that there is life with you, amen, that when you say that I am a living Christ, then you also have that life? Sardinian congregation had the message that it was alive, but when God saw that congregation, it was actually dead. Do you know how people judged you, how others judged you personally, how others and society judged the church? It doesn't matter that much. The difference is how the church judged the church. Let this be a moment of inspiration in your life, that you don't just test your living faith, but that you can be living faith. That's what the Lord is looking for. He doesn't look there and see who I can beat if I find someone who is in a weak spot. He wants us not to be afraid of what we lack of life but that we come to his glory and take it against us, that we can be full of life. God has designed our lives to be full of his life. That's why Christ died.

Speaker 1: 9:23

Jumala on suunnitellu meidät täyteen hänen elämäänsä. Siitä syystä Kristus kuoli. Hän meni ristille, maksoi sen hinnan että Jumalan elämä voi täyttää meidät. Ja jotenkin me ollaan nyt päädytty semmoseen jumittuneeseen tilaan, tässä länsimaisessa kristillisyyden vaiheessa, että on ok, näyttää elävältä, mutta sit se elämä.

Speaker 1: 9:44

But then that life is missing. But when that life is there, do you know when the fruit starts to come, turn to your neighbor and say fruit and bow, like this? Do you know when that fruit comes automatically? When there is life inside, you Say amen, hallelujah, hallelujah. Thank you Lord.

Speaker 1: 10:04

Also, historically, there was a saying in this city that they imagined themselves undefeated, but in fact they had suffered many times since the defeat. We don't want to have a name that has no content. Can you say amen to that? Amen? There is no content. Can you say amen to that Amen? Think how terrible it is that there are names, that he is a good guy. But then if we go to investigate and look at what is there, that there is nothing there. I don't want to describe anything, I don't want to present anything. I want to really see that there is life.

Speaker 1: 10:41

Say hallelujah that there can be life in your life. Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah. What happens to your home? Someone's eyes open Terrible. Does he know his home? I just thought it was a church. He knows it too if you're nervous at home. But thank you, lord, for that. That God is a merciful God and he wants to bring that life to us, that we can grow, that we can find people who are full of life. Our church can be full of life. How many want that? Your group, if you're with us, can be full of life. Your family can be full of life.

Speaker 1: 11:39

Think how terrible it would be if your family had a saying that they're really Christians, but if you went to investigate there would be no evidence that anyone even believed. I heard this saying from one of the protesters. If you were right to be blamed for being a Christian. Would there be enough evidence to judge you, some of you? Just this one image from your social media, you would be in prison. No doubt about it. This is a clear case. This belongs to the Nazarene-like scum. This guy, so in other words, sarné's life in the congregation would look like this that everything that was going on in the congregation, around the city, in the community, you know.

Speaker 1: 13:01

You have to rise and rise from the dead, rise up and say I won't stay in any grave. If you still have a spirit moving you're looking at it at home then I won't stay in any grave with the dead. Jesus said give the dead a grave to die in. We'll move forward, we'll be saved by the Holy Spirit of God. We'll sing heavenly songs, unifying songs in the spirit, and hallelujah. Thank you, lord for his holy spirit.

Speaker 1: 13:33

Think about how it would be to be such a man that you are alive but have died. You know, sometimes we need the power of God's holy spirit and the power of God's word that we can be in the light of the Lord. How many have ever been in the light of the Lord? There's a Finnish song that goes like this here I am in front of you in the light of the Lord, and that song may sound strange to you if you've never been in the light of the Lord, but you know, when you're in the front of the Lord, he sees your heart, he sees everything.

Speaker 1: 14:11

The 4th chapter of the Hebrew Bible says, in fact, the word of God as a person in front of whom everything is clear, open and low. The Lord sees your whole life, your heart. And do you know, we can be ashamed in front of the Lord. You too, look at it at home. If you lack life, you can be ashamed and say that it looks like it's quite quiet in this part, but I would like that life.

Speaker 1: 14:37

And the worst thing is if the churches and Christians together make that life-giving, death-giving, and learn that this is what it should be. In other words, we think that here in the North we are dead Like a tree in a bush. We make it normal. But you know, because we have a living God who answers to prayer, who answers to our heart's call, and if we notice that we are in a position that we need change, then he is a praying God. He has promised to give us a holy spirit when we ask him for it, hallelujah. You know it doesn't have to last a long time, it doesn't have to be a long process, hallelujah, hallelujah. And the Lord reminded him of the first chapter of the book of Isaiah 19,. Where it is said that if you are willing and obedient, you can enjoy the good of the earth. And the Lord reminded this preacher that you have been obedient but you have not been willing. And I tell you this because do you know what this journalist proved later in the situation? He became a wanted second part of the world. I'll say it again he became a wanted second part of the world. Do you know that sometimes the changes that prevent, sometimes the answers, the things that need to change in our lives, they don't need to go a long time if we are quickly ready to make changes in our lives.

Speaker 1: 16:34

If you have been the one I would call in the morning, you have been a juntturapää, and when you think what it really means, it means just as it sounds Not in any way good, just as it sounds Not good at all. If you've been in that state, then you quickly make yourself a part of the word of God to a great authority and say that I want to be quick and I want to be quick to take on life. Lord, you want to fill my life and here I am. Lord, you are the saver, I am the saver. You can shape me, lord, do your work in me and you know, lord, you are the saviour of the saviour, I am the saviour. You can shape me, lord, do your work in me and you know what the Lord can do a quick job in your life. Hallelujah, in some things it's good to be calm, but then what comes from God's word? We can quickly change our mind. Doesn't that sound good, hallelujah, hallelujah, doesn't that sound good? Hallelujah?

Speaker 1: 17:34

Maybe Sardinian congregation had a lot of activities but very little life. Is it so in our lives as believers personally and also in this congregation that even if we do a lot, or at least some days, that whatever we do there can be life involved? Your life can be full of life? Whatever you do, it can be full of life. It's not just an outer shell, but it's empty inside? Say hallelujah, thank you, lord, hallelujah, hallelujah. You know it's very important that we deal with the heart of a fool. Hallelujah.

Speaker 1: 18:20

Even during this event, when I was reading those verses. There are different ways people hear those verses. It's God's word, it's from God's heart, it's inspired by God's spirit. But do some of you think, well, yeah, a little bit. That way Life can mean anything. Or the other attitude can be that thank you, lord, for your word. I don't want to say it in any area in my place that I would have died or lost my life. I want to be full, lord, of your holy spirit. So, in other words, the thing and attitude, how we approach God's word, is very important that we take God by His word and in the same way as this book which we just read, these six verses was for the congregation during the first year and a hundred.

Speaker 1: 19:18

There are huge truths that also touch this time and also touch every believer. Touch you too, touch me too, touch also me, and we are all in the presence of the word of God, isn't that? So Say hallelujah, Because the Bible is indestructible and final religious authority and it should be in the middle of our lives. Say hallelujah that we don't allow any doubts, but once again, we take the word of God. Let's let it wash us.

Speaker 1: 19:51

In the Ephesian book, the Bible talks about the wash of the word. The wash of the word Jesus said to the disciples. You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you, in other words, the wash of the word Hallelujah. I think that today you could come. You are like in the shower here tonight. Sometimes we have to go to the shower and use a little shampoo or whatever we use Some of you don't need shampoo, shampoo and then you come back from the shower and there's a fresh feeling again and you can move on again. Isn't that right? There's a fresh feeling, a fresh feeling you can move on. You know we need to keep saying that the Word can do the work for us. The Word can do the work for us. The Word can do the work for us. The Word can do the work for us Because, even if we don't want to, when we do things you are in contact with different people.

Speaker 1: 20:53

You can even take other people's positions. Have you noticed that sometimes? I have noticed that as a pastor that sometimes someone can get hurt, but then you know he gets through it and then he comes to the other side and everything is fine and in fact he becomes stronger. But then someone on the side of the one who got hurt got hurt on the side of the one who got hurt, and the one who got hurt on the side of the one who got hurt never survived and disappeared somewhere. Have you ever noticed something like that? It's sad, on the other hand, because the Lord has great things, but these things can reveal what's in our hearts and you know, when we go forward, when we live our lives, sometimes people do amazing things. Have you noticed that Even the one you're with at weddings can do amazing things, joskus tehdä ihmeellisiä asioita?

Speaker 1: 21:49

Joskus itsikin saatat tehdä ihmeellisiä asioita? Niin, me tarvitaan jatkuvasti sitä, että se sana saa tehdä työtä ja puhdistaa meitä, se sana saa vahvistaa meitä. Mut se vaatii sen että meillä on kertakaikkinen suhtautuminen Jumalan sanaan, että me pidetään Jumalan sanaa, jumalan sanana, että sä saat tehdä työn meissä Ja sä saat vahvistaa meitä, että sä voit olla vahvana ennen viimeisenä aikoina Ja sä et teeskentele, etkä keksi tekosyytä sille, että, jos joku alue sun elämässä tai koko helan hoitoon pystyyn kuollut, that this is the only candidate who needs your life and soul today, and I don't want to leave until I have been able to take you in, lord, isn't that? So Do you think that God is nervous if you talk to him like this? No, god is nervous. In fact, he wants to show his power and presence. He just needs someone who turns him. You know, when God's presence touches the hungry and thirsty heart, something happens every time. Say it with me. Something happens Every time. Say it again. Something happens Every time. Say it again God's presence and power. You know, something heavenly will happen.

Speaker 1: 23:36

And one reason for the revelation is that, once and for all, faith can come to the heart of man, that you don't have to live in any area of the world to be able to die like a tree. It's like a beautiful looking tree, but it doesn't have any use. And we are not called to be dead believers at this time, but we are called to be full of life. We don't just want to have such a name that it is a really holy guy, but then there is no life under the machine. We just want to have life. Say life with me, say hallelujah. Thank you, lord, that we can be a church and whatever part you represent. Thank you, lord, that you understand that the church must be in the Lord's presence and we must be constantly and carefully in what the Lord has given us. We take the word of God and we want to see the Holy Spirit of God moving. If we hurt someone, then let it person, but not a holy spirit Say hallelujah.

Speaker 1: 25:05

Sometimes we are in Finland so worried about what people think and in a way the same thing comes back as a package after certain years and it's the same thing, but then it comes in different forms and then people still accept it and take it and then go in the wrong direction. There is nothing to replace the Holy Spirit of God's movement in the church. We need the power of the Holy Spirit. I say we need the power of the Holy Spirit. I say we need the power of the Holy Spirit. In fact, you don't survive these last few times unless you're full, and I say even so that everyone is full of something. The question could be what are you full of If you're not full of the Holy Spirit? You're full of something else. Are you full of care? If you're not a holy spirit, you're not something else, you're full of care. I dare even say that everyone drinks something lately Because we need some way to get ourselves full, to get ourselves filled with something, and we, as Jesus, have chosen that we be under any other influence but the Holy Spirit. Say Amen with me, if you agree, hallelujah.

Speaker 1: 26:22

We have a place here in Finland where the Spirit of God can move, where people can meet the living God. You know, that was the case with Jesus too. He didn't care about everything and that's how it was during Jesus' time. Not everyone was interested and that was a completely strange thing for me to understand. How can it be that Jesus is in Jerusalem but someone stays at home? Do you understand what I mean? Think about it. Jesus himself at the Helsinki stadium this evening At 20.00.

Speaker 1: 26:53

How would I have gotten there? But you know what? Still, some people would stay at home. I wouldn't go, a lot of people would go. People would go. I'm sure it was too much. I wouldn't go. I wouldn'tet Minen mene sinne.

Speaker 1: 27:15

Ajattelin että tämä oli Jeesus itse kun hän oli maan päällä. Niin, jotkut jäi kotiin ja toiset ajatteli vaan ruokaa. He kuunteli Jeesuksen puheen vaan siitä syystä että missä kala ja missä leivät? Ehkäpä tänään olisi ihmeen päivä, alkaa pikkusen hiukasta. Jotkut ihmiset kuinka moni ite oot ollut joskus hengellessä tilaisuudessa, mutta et kuulu yhtään mitään, vaikka oli ihan ok tilaisuus. Toivottavasti kukaan ei tänä iltana ole. Kun mä rukoilin aikaisemmin et sulla olis korvat kuulla ja silmät nähdä, I was a little bit scared that you would have ears, hearing and eyes seeing.

Speaker 1: 27:54

But I know that sometimes you are so kind of in the midst of it that you are like worried and full of worries that it is difficult for you to break free from it. Sometimes people are in such a state. We want to help them and it is not God's will that you are in such a state, but sometimes we have been in such a state but sometimes we have been in such a situation. But even if someone has a different opinion, someone gets nervous. Someone doesn't like it that people pray. There have been a few cases. Everything was fine when we prayed for the first person. People left like a rocket from the door. The doors were banging, terrible. Everything was fine until something happened.

Speaker 1: 28:47

This is not right, not especially in a church. But you know we need it. It's part of what we want to see and if sometimes our church comes to a situation where the Holy Spirit can't move here, I'll go away from this church myself Because we know that one touch of the Holy Spirit of God. You know our children need it. All that is happening in Finland right now. Children need it. That the Holy Spirit of God can be strong. Young people need it. You know that the touch of eternity can come to their life in their young age, so that their whole life ends.

Speaker 1: 29:36

How many who are a little more different from you, how different your life would be if you had gotten a 7-year-old like Paavali in the 9th century. What does your young youth look like? And I'm not talking about faith and being in a jam so that you don't even want to go home. I mean that your life is a life. What does Revelation 3 say? Tell everyone Don't turn into a believer, but think about it.

Speaker 1: 30:13

We need the people at work. It shouldn't be like our young adults and adults and a little more young people. They are in a situation where they just go there when they are 60 and then come to the church after that. But if it's your age, whatever it is, you can be alive. If it's your job, whatever it is, you can be alive. Thank you, that's how it has been in Finland. If someone is a little bit alive, we take that life away. If someone rises from there, we take them down. The playing ends. Don't get too excited. And this congregation is like a peak in the religious system. We've been here for many years and we're still smiling and we're moving forward To a thousand members.

Speaker 1: 31:45

Let's look at every area in Finland. You know what Good news must be announced with joy, because otherwise they're not good news. You know there are all kinds of spiritual movements in Finland whose official line is that good news must be broadcast in anger, and they don't describe it that way on their own websites. But that is the core that they are against us, that we are too happy when we publish good news, because this is a serious matter and it is not that easy. Don't just believe it.

Speaker 1: 32:22

You know, I was in my old home, utsjoella, and I asked the widow Could you teach me a little bit of the Sámi language? And the widow said to me that it doesn't work that easily and that conversation ended there. I didn't learn the Finnish language that day, but we got to share good news In the old house. It's sometimes like that. It's not that easy, and sometimes the reason is that people take their own experience and assume that the road that I have traveled it must also be your road, and maybe you're traveling through a difficult road.

Speaker 1: 33:13

But Jesus didn't come to add problems to us. He came to bring us peace, rest. His burden is not a heavy burden His own or His own burden is a tool. He came to bring us peace, rest, joy, prosperity, a good life, a heavenly life, hallelujah. And do you know? We also have to show it as true in our country, good people, there are believers here who smile. Do you know? Where we put our hands, it succeeds. Our family can do well, our children can do well. We move forward. We take the land to the shore, we have business activity. That in itself, we do things honestly, we do things straight and clear, with good nature. We mean what we say and say what we mean, and that's where we go. It brings life, and now it's time for the church to rise to a whole new level.

Speaker 1: 34:25

I see a church here in Uudellamaala that will bring a lot of life to the environment, so that new movements are founded around the church just because the congregation is there. At the same time, there are certain centers where all the bad things happen, that, in a way, something has happened in a certain area. Where it has happened, it has gotten to all kinds of things that the enemy want to bring. Are there then rumors, immorality, all kinds of wrongness, greed, broken families, broken hearts, sickness, pain and poverty? Then you know the Lord will bring an answer. He will be like a city on a hill, that the church will be a church, a church that is brightened by God, which has life around it. New movements are also starting. People rise from poverty, step out to what the Lord has for them, and there is a lot of life.

Speaker 1: 35:24

Say with me life, hallelujah, hallelujah. The Sardinian church does not give praise at all. They had the good reputation. I want to introduce you to this challenge, also to you who are at home. I know that I have looked around here and there are living things here, but I want to introduce you to this challenge also. Wherever you look at home, is it just a reputation that you are alive but you're missing that life? You know now it's time that we have to be alive. Hallelujah, hallelujah.

Speaker 1: 36:02

And many are critics, judge others, but you know, one thing we can affect is our own life, because one thing we can influence is our own lives. Sometimes we raise ourselves as an authority to others. Others say that those don't do the right thing. But what if you turned your own life around? Because in your own life you can make changes, isn't that right? I say that in your own life, you can make changes, isn't that right? I say that in your own life, you can make changes.

Speaker 1: 36:39

If the Lord has believed in you to have businesses or if you have service workers, you can turn your attention to your own service work Instead of spending hours on the net Criticizing other service works. Be very careful, because you can end up criticizing service. Be very careful, because you can end up criticizing what the Holy Spirit does and it can make you unfulfilled. Focus on what the Lord has believed in you and decide that I want to see life there. If you have a family, focus on your family. You want to see life there.

Speaker 1: 37:13

If you have a partner, do you know where that is? Do you know that we can't live on the other side, but we can show that other side? We can show life to them. As I understand it, you who are still married maybe you have children, young people do you know that you can show that life to your friends? Be a blessing. Hallelujah. Lapsia, nuoria. Niin tiedätkö sä voit sun ystäville osoittaa sitä elämää, olla siunauksena. Halleluja. Sä et voi toisen puolesta elää, mutta sä voit elää sitä elämää rohkeasti, minkä Herra on sulle antanut. Sano halleluja.
