    About this ebook

    Jesus wished above all, that after His ascendance to the Father, those who are left here on earth, would repeat and multiply the works that He did. This is possible, only when every Christian gets to know Jesus personally. This book is a key on how to know Jesus and how to do the works of God.

      FROM THE AUTHOR

      You can be saved and live as a Christian, and yet not know Jesus personally, not know Him as a Person, as a Friend, as a Helper, who walks by your side through life. Coming to Christ in repentance is only the beginning of the process of knowing God, His will and His purpose for us. This process of knowing God makes us to grow into Christ and not just get acquainted with Jesus. This is the only key on how to perform the works, which He did.

      Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything in My name, I will do it.

      John 14:12-14

      This is the desire of God and also the dream of Jesus that after His departure, those of us that are left on earth would repeat and multiply the works, which He performed. Replication and multi plication of the works of Jesus do not happen instantaneously after a person has made the decision to do the works that Jesus did. It is a long process of development, a long journey, which any one wishing to reveal the glory of Jesus must go through.

      I am still going through this process myself - the path of becoming a son of God. Because the sons of God are led by the Spirit of God, but children are under their guardians.

      I decided to write this book, because there was a time in my life, when I just became a believer, and even later, after becoming a preacher of the Gospel, I couldn’t say that I knew Jesus personally. It was only after Jesus revealed Himself to me in a new way that great changes took place in my life - life became easy and victorious. My prayer life changed and became more effective and I am constantly in the presence of the Son of God. Now the most important thing in my life is the supremacy of the Holy Spirit. This is the life of victory over the flesh.

      It is my wish that this book would help you to receive, what I have experienced after this new revelation about Jesus. Your life will become victorious. And you will be able to perform the works of Jesus, His wonders and signs.

      We are living in the third millennium, the time, when Jesus wants to manifest Himself through human flesh, so that every one can say, Once again the shakers of the world have come to us. So that without any extra effort, the world will see and say: these people were with Jesus, and Jesus is being revealed through them.

      My prayer for you is that after you have read this book, you would get to know Jesus, as you have never known Him before.

      May the Lord Bless You.

      Chapter 1

      JESUS IN

      YOUR PLACE

      Therefore, in all things He had to be made like His brethren, that He might be a merciful and faithful High Priest in things pertaining to God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people. For in that He Himself has suffered, being tempted, He is able to aid those who are tempted.

      Hebrews 2:17,18

      Many people go to church because they feel good there, they receive forgiveness, healing, blessings, love... They receive what no one apart from Jesus Christ can give them. But the fact is that they do not know that the most important thing is to know Jesus personally. It is only when we get to know Jesus, everything will change. We will talk with Him. We will love Him with our whole heart. We will glorify Him with everything we do and with all our life. It is important for us to know Jesus, to know the One, who died for us, the One, who was crucified so that we may live. Our lives should not just be simple, but a life that reflects the life of Jesus. Jesus, while living on earth, demonstrated to us how to live a righteous life.

      Jesus came to this earth to save us. And for this purpose, He was made in the likeness of man and He resembled us.

      Therefore, in all things He had to be made like His brethren...

      Hebrews 2:17

      When Jesus was here on this earth, He was the Son of God. Jesus left heaven, left His divine nature, and took on the form of a slave, took the form of sinful flesh, although He Himself committed no sin. The flesh which He took on, had the ability to sin, but because of His divine Spirit He remained without sin.

      Jesus came to this earth to redeem people, and in order to fulfill His mission He had to fully become a man. When man sinned through Adam and Eve, it became necessary for someone to oppose sin, for someone to overcome the devil, and in so doing restore to man his righteousness and holiness, which were granted to him in the beginning, in the Garden of Eden by God.

      No man was able to do this, because everybody inherited the sinful nature after the fall of Adam and naturally sinned. Man could not resist the devil, could not refuse to give in to temptation and therefore lost his authority over the earth, which God had given him. Man gave over this authority to the devil and that is why the devil is ruling over the earth now. In order to redeem us from the curse of sin, somebody from the generation of man had to overcome the devil with his righteousness, and through the shedding of blood, death and resurrection save us. This is what Jesus Christ has done for us. He came to this earth in the likeness of a man. What does it mean to be in the likeness? - It means that Jesus was in our place. He became like man in everything, to feel what we feel and to experience everything that man goes through on this earth.

      Don’t we feel bad when we get sick? The Bible says that Jesus was wounded for our sicknesses and He wants us to be healed by His stripes. His wounds are our diseases. Jesus knows what you are feeling and what tests you are going through. Never think that God has forgotten about you.

      The Bible says that Jesus became like man in all things:

      For in that He Himself has suffered, being tempted, He is able to aid those who are tempted.

      Hebrews 2:18

      Jesus went through everything you are going through right now. God says that He did all that in order to understand our difficulties. Therefore, when something goes wrong or when no one understands you and there is no one to talk to, seclude your self from everybody and every distraction and go and tell Jesus about everything, He is always by your side. Remember that some times your husband, your wife, your family or your close friends will not understand you, but Jesus will always understand you. He is Omnipresent and He lives inside you. Just lay your head on His shoulder, tell Him everything and He will understand you and comfort you. This will be the consolation, which comes only from the throne of the Living God.

      You have Jesus, who suffered many things that you may rely on Him today and look into His eyes and ask for comfort. Look to Jesus and remember that He is by your side. He cares for you, and for your sake He was tortured. If there were only one person on this earth Jesus would have done the same for him. Jesus would still put himself in your place to understand you.

      Jesus is our best friend; hence we need to know Him. Not just to know His power, or His wonders and signs, or His healing, but to know His Personality.

      Jesus lived on this earth and had the same sinful flesh as we do. He could fall into sin. If He could not fall into sin, then the devil would not have tempted Him.

      For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through
