All Sinners Are Doomed


Many believers have been deceived into thinking that they can go on sinning and as long as they ask forgiveness every night then they are okay. If you still have the desire for sin, and if you keep on sinning, then you are not saved, then you do not belong to Jesus, then you are a SINNER and NO SINNERS will go into the Kingdom of Heaven. You need to be born again, born from God, so that you do not have a desire for sin anymore.
Many believers are not born again. They are just SINNERS, trying to sin less or not sin. They have read the Book,they have read the Bible and they know what is right but they are not able to do it, because they are not born again. You cannot do the will of God if you are not born of God, if you are not born again. Jesus said to a man called Nicodemus, I read from John 3:5 He said to him,"truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.” You need to be born again. Jesus GIVES us the new birth if we accept Him as Lord, as King, as Master, because only Jesus can forgive our sins, but we need to invite Him into our lives and ask Him for the new birth. Say:"Lord please accept me as a child of God" and He will come into your life but you must WANT to follow Jesus. You must WANT to turn away from this futile life and He will come into your life and He will change you. He will take away the guilt of your sin, He will forgive your previous sin and He will change you inside that you don’t have a desire for sin. And if you have accepted Jesus as your Lord, you must be baptized in water for the forgiveness of your sin, the washing off of your sin because now you are done with sin. You do not intend sinning anymore. Now you want to do the will of God. And that is why He said you must be born of WATER and of the SPIRIT. Firstly you are born of water when you are baptized because your sin has washed away but then you need to be born of the Spirit, you need the Holy Spirit.
If you have repented and obeyed Him through water baptism then He promises you the baptism in the Holy Spirit so that you can be born of God. And He gives you the Holy Spirit to come and live in you who will guide you into all truth. You will be led by the Spirit of God. Romans 8:14 says: Those who are LED by the SPIRIT OF GOD they are the sons of God. He grants us, He gives us the new birth if we ACCEPT HIM into our lives.
Peter wrote in 1 Peter 1:3 “Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In His great mercy He has GIVEN us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,” If we have accepted Jesus and we have been born again, then we have a LIVING HOPE OF ETERNAL LIFE and if we endure with Jesus until the very end, we will have eternal life. But if we turn away from Jesus and go back to sin and our futile lifestyle, then we will not have eternal life then we lose our hope.
If we are born again, we must walk in this newness of Spirit. Paul writes in 2 Corinthians 5:17 “Therefore if any man is in Christ, he is a NEW CREATURE; the old things passed away; behold, NEW things have come.” Now you are a child of God and you have a desire for the things of God. You don’t have a desire for sin, you want to follow Jesus.
Paul also wrote to Titus, Titus 3:3-7 “For we also once WERE foolish ourselves, disobedient, deceived, enslaved to various lusts and pleasures, spending our life in malice and envy, hateful, hating one another. But when the kindness of God our Savior and His love for mankind appeared, He saved us, not on the basis of deeds which we have done in righteousness, but according to His mercy, by the washing of regeneration (Baptism) and renewing by the Holy Spirit (Baptism in the Holy Spirit), whom He poured out upon us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, that being justified by His grace we might be made HEIRS according to the hope of eternal life.” If we have been born again of water and of the Spirit, we have this HOPE of eternal life of becoming an HEIR of the Kingdom of God but we need to hold on to this hope, and not go back to sin.
Paul writes to the Corinthians in 1 Corinthians 6:9-11”Or do you not know that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, shall inherit the kingdom of God. And such WERE some of you; but you WERE WASHED, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and in the SPIRIT of our God.” They have become NEW, they are BORN AGAIN, they are not into these things anymore. The world is already judged. Paul is talking here to people who are BELIEVERS, He is not talking to unbelievers who are not born again, he is talking to BELIEVERS. He says to them: "Do you not know that if you carry on in SIN you will not inherit the Kingdom of God" because the world is already judged, they have no hope. If you do not believe in JESUS, you do not have hope, you are lost. As Jesus said to Nicodemus also in John 3:18 He says, "he who believes in Him (JESUS) he is not judged, he who does not believe has been judged already because he has not believed in the Name of the only begotten Son of God. If we believe in Jesus and we are born again, we walk in purity and in holiness because we are children of God. We do not carry on in sin.
We read in 1 John 3:3-10 “And everyone who has this HOPE (What hope? This hope of eternal life) fixed on Him purifies himself, just as He is pure. Everyone who practices sin also practices lawlessness; and sin is lawlessness. And you know that He appeared in order to take away sins; and in Him (Jesus) there is no sin. No one who abides in Him sins; no one who sins has seen Him or knows Him. Little children, let no one deceive you; the one who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous; the one who practices sin is of the devil; for the devil has sinned from the beginning. The Son of God appeared for this purpose, that He might destroy the works of the devil. No one who is born of God practices sin, because His seed abides in him; and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. By this the children of God and the children of the devil are obvious: anyone who does not practice righteousness IS NOT OF GOD, nor the one who does not love his brother.”
Dear friends, you cannot be saved, you cannot be a child of God, if you go on in sin, then you are a child of the devil and you are not born again, or you have gone back to your former lifestyle, as Peter says: The washed sow has gone back to the mire, to the mud; and the dog has gone back to his own vomit. That has happened to those people. But if you follow Jesus, if you are in Christ YOU DO NOT SIN, you are led by the Holy Spirit of God, you do not sin everyday and repent every night. You have never repented, you are NOT walking in holiness, you are NOT following Jesus. If you are a child of God, then you are led by the Holy Spirit of God and you are PURE and HOLY you are NOT A SINNER ANYMORE. NO SINNERS will go into the Kingdom of Heaven. A person who is born again is NOT A SINNER. Have you been born again? If not, now is the time to REPENT, go on your knees and cry out for mercy, if you have been backslidden, REPENT! Get right with God. Repent of your sin from your heart, repent of the things of the world and ask Jesus to make you NEW. If you have allowed the devil into your life and he has got a hold of you again. Ask Jesus to set you free but then YOU have allowed satan back into your life and you will have to kick him out. You will have to take a stand and YOU will have to take back the ground that the devil has taken from you, that you have given him. But dear friend, if you CARRY ON SINNING, you will NOT ENTER THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN. Because a CHILD OF GOD DEOS NOT SIN, HE DOES THE WILL OF GOD. He is LED BY THE SPIRIT OF GOD and HE DOES THE WORKS OF GOD. He is CALLED for a PURPOSE and he LIVES that PURPOSE FOR THE KINGDOM OF GOD EVERY DAY OF HIS LIFE, he FOLLOWS JESUS and he is a WITNESS FOR THE KINGDOM OF GOD. You cannot sit on the FENCE, you’ve got to make up your mind, either you are a CHILD OF GOD or you are a SINNER. And if you are a SINNER, you are DOOMED, you are on your way to HELL. Now is the time to get serious with Jesus.
May Jesus bless you.

Remember Sodom and Gomorrah


God made Sodom and Gomorrah and example of His judgment on the ungodly. We read in Genesis 19:24,25 “Then the LORD rained on Sodom and Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven, 25and He overthrew those cities, and all the valley, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and what grew on the ground.”
God does not tolerate sin. No sin and no sinners will come into His presence but His judgment will come on them. The apostle Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 “or do you not know that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, 10nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, shall inherit the kingdom of God. 11And such were some of you; but you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and in the Spirit of our God.” That includes all sin.
No sinners will escape the judgment of God. The church might be tolerant and accept certain behavior or sin, the community might accept it, the government might accept it but God never changed and the judgment of God was shown on Sodom and Gomorrah. If we are wise we will repent and mend our ways or else we will remember Sodom and Gomorrah. God has never changed.
May Jesus bless you.

The Bumpy Road of Faith


Not many people follow Jesus because when you follow Jesus YOU are not in control. You don't know where He is taking you and you need to follow by faith. You need to trust Him. People are not interested in that. If you follow Jesus you cannot keep looking out the window, second guessing and doubting. Whoever puts his hand to the plow and looks back is not worthy of the Kingdom of God.
When you follow Jesus the road will be bumpy and you will have to hold on by faith. You will need to trust Him and leave Him in control. He does not need your opinion or your advice. It is His Kingdom and if you want to be part of His Kingdom, you follow HIM. He is LORD, He is MASTER and you TRUST Him. You go along for the ride and He will take you places that you do not expect, where you did not plan. Life will take some unexpected turns and you will just have to hang on by faith! It is a matter of PRAY, TRUST and OBEY, or else you will not follow Jesus.
Many believers never started following Jesus. Most of them have not repented, they haven't stopped sinning. They are still going on their own jolly way, they are doing their own thing. They are having their own life and they want to have salvation. If you want to have eternal life YOU MUST FOLLOW JESUS, BY FAITH. You must go where He takes you and you must totally and absolutely TRUST HIM. Very few people will follow Jesus. Very few people trust Him! They trust their Bibles, they trust other people, they trust their own insight but they have no relationship with Jesus.
Have you made up your mind to follow Jesus. You will need to trust Him, you will need to fully OBEY HIM. Without faith it is impossible to please God. If you don't trust Him you will not follow Him, but if you look back, REMEMBER THE WIFE OF LOT! She turned into a salt pillar!
Many people have been saved, God led them out of bondage, out of Sodom and Gomorrah but they keep on looking back and they turn into salt pillars! Are you following Jesus or have you turned into a salt pillar?
May Jesus bless you.

More Demons in Church than Outside


There are more demons in many so called “born-again Christians” than there are in people that are “unsaved.” Many of these “born-again Christians” were delivered form their sin, their bondage and their addictions when they first came to Jesus but then they opened the door for the devil and they are worse off than they were before they first met Jesus. That is why churches are more full of demons than the rest of the world. Most preachers say nowadays:”We are all sinners.” And that is what they are, they are demon possessed and they are in bondage of sin, of lust and of all kind of wickedness because they have turned away from God and they have opened the door for the devil to come in and possess them.
Jesus warned in Matthew 12:43-45 He said:“Now when the unclean spirit goes out of a man, it passes through waterless places, seeking rest, and does not find it. 44“ Then it says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came’; and when it comes, it finds it unoccupied, swept, and put in order. 45“ Then it goes, and TAKES ALONG WITH IT SEVEN OTHER SPIRITS MORE WICKED THAN ITSELF, AND THEY GO IN AND LIVE THERE; and the last state of that man becomes worse than the first. That is the way it will also be with this evil generation.” And that is the way that it is with modern day churches.
They say:”We cannot stop sinning. We are all sinners.” Because they have invited the devil in. They are not men of God, they are men of satan and the devil lives in the church. They believe in the Bible but they DO NOT WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS! They know what is right and they don't do it because they have got demons inside of them and they need deliverance.
They don't have the Holy Spirit because they are not holy, they are sinners. If a man sins he is a slave of sin. If Jesus has made you free you will be free and free indeed. You will have victory over sin and the devil. You will not sin, you will have self-control. Most professing Christians have less self-control than atheists because those atheists are not possessed by the same demons that are inside those Christians. Those Christians were once delivered and then they got some extra demons in them, that is why they are absolutely demon possessed. The modern day church is demon possessed, it is a haunt of satan. Are you part of the modern day church? Are you a “sinning Christian?” because there is no such thing! If you belong to Jesus Christ then you have victory over sin and over the devil. A child of God does not sin. A person who sins belongs to satan.
Do you belong to Jesus? Have you overcome sin and the devil?
May Jesus bless you.

JESUS DELIVERS SINNING BELIEVERS TO THEIR DESIRES


Many believers are in terrible bondage of sin and addictions. Most of the church and most professing Christians are bound by satan, because they have gone back to sin. When you come to Jesus, He delivers you from the power of sin and of satan but if you go back to sin then you get into severe bondage more than you even were before you knew Jesus.
Jesus warned and I read in Matthew 12:43-45 “Now when the unclean spirit goes out of a man, it passes through waterless places, seeking rest, and does not find it. Then it says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came’; and when it comes, it finds it unoccupied, swept, and put in order. Then it goes, and takes along with it seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and live there; and the last state of that man becomes worse than the first. That is the way it will also be with this evil generation.”
And that is the way that it is with the church because they say WE ARE ALL SINNERS, like a dog they have gone back to their own vomit and now they are in bondage of satan because Jesus gave them over. Jesus will set you free but if you choose to go back to the world and the things of the world, back to sin, then He will deliver you to your desires and your end will be worse than your beginning, because you have DENIED CHRIST. Many believers are in that situation, they become hard and callous they’ve got evil desires, they are addicted to pornography, they are addicted to prescription drugs and all kinds of evil. They are bound by satan because they turned their back on Jesus.
You need deliverance friend, if you are in that situation or else the devil will destroy you and take you to HELL. You have allowed satan to come back and take a hold of you and he has brought seven worse demons with him to torment and destroy you because you have turned your back on God. But there is hope, you need to go back to Jesus and cry out to Him with all your heart and YOU need to take a stand against the devil and YOU must cast him out because YOU have allowed him a place in your life. YOU must submit yourself to Jesus, RESIST the DEVIL and he will flee from you. But it won’t be easy. You’ve got a fight on your hands. You will have to fight the devil with everything that is in you. It will not be easy. YOU need deliverance. Go and cry out to Jesus and then stand against the devil. Speak to that demon each and every one of them. Call them by name and CAST THEM OUT. Tell them I don’t want you anymore go out, get out of me in the name of Jesus and he will come out. He will come out through your mouth, he might come out with a foul smell, you might vomit, you might start shaking violently but you need to fight the devil now, he is on the inside, you must get him on the outside because as long as he is inside, he is going to destroy you. You need to get the devil outside and Jesus will help you but you will have to fight.
You will have to pray and you’ve got to cast out that demon until his out but THEN you must keep that house reserved for Jesus. Obey Jesus and ask Him for the Holy Spirit to come and dwell in you and you’ve got to keep your guard up. Keep the devil outside or he is going to slip in and he will bring his friends with him. MANY are in bondage, MANY have been delivered to the devil because they are a wicked generation and they don’t want Jesus.
If you want salvation, you need to fight to get it back friend. It is not going to be easy it is going to be tuff but if you really want to come back to Jesus, He will help you and He will deliver you but YOU will have to fight.
May Jesus bless you.

GOD STOPPED THE FIRE - My Testimony


I want to share with you my testimony how God stopped a runaway fire. I owned 2 acres on a large estate and we were burning some dry grass on my property when suddenly the wind came up and blew this fire out of control. We were suddenly engulfed in flames. There was no way that we could stop this fire. I could see that whole estate burning down and us being burned as well.
We just cried out and said:”Lord Help!” and suddenly the wind turned and took the fire the other direction, took it towards the road where it burned out and there was no damage. If that fire had continued the way it was it would have killed us and it would have burned down that whole estate with all those houses.
God is faithful and He answers the prayers of His children. If we live in holiness and we obey Him we don't need to pray a long prayer. We just say:”LORD HELP ME PLEASE!” And He helps us! God is almighty and He knows how to look after His children who love Him and who serve Him.
May Jesus bless you.

Churches are Powerless - Bound by satan

The church has no power, it has lost it's power. The reason for that is that there is no holiness. Churches have Bible, doctrines, preachers and they are full of sinners. There is no power of deliverance, there is NO HOLINESS, there is NO JESUS, there is NO GOD, THERE IS NO POWER.
GOD DOES NOT LIVE AMONGST SINNERS. Churches have opened their doors for the devil, they have compromised with the world, they are like the world they are of the world and GOD IS NOT THERE. That is why there is NO POWER. GOD HAS LEFT THE CHURCH because the church has rejected God. They have a form of godliness but they have denied the power thereof and it is obvious because they have no victory over sin.
Are you part of that church? Or have you got victory? Do you cower in the corner or is the power of God in you? Do you have victory over the devil, have you overcome sin? Have you overcome the devil, or are you part of the church that is utterly powerless against satan?
If you want to have the power of God in your life you need to repent, turn away from sin and Jesus will deliver you, but then you must be holy and then He will live in you because He lives in a Holy Temple. God does not live with demons and He does not live in the churches. That is why the power of God is not in the churches neither in those that belong to the churches. They are bound by satan and they are overcome by the devil.
Are you overcome by the devil? Or are you walking in the victory of Christ? Have you overcome the devil and have you overcome sin? IS THE POWER OF JESUS IN YOUR LIFE? Or are you a slave of satan? Are you a slave of sin or are you a follower of Jesus Christ?
May Jesus bless you?

A Lying Spirit in the Mouth of the Prophets


Jesus called us to follow HIM and He sent us His Holy Spirit to guide us into all truth, to teach us and to coach us, every step of the way. But many people don't want to listen to the Holy Spirit. They run after people. They seek themselves some teachers or some prophets and they listen to those people. That is a very dangerous thing to do because God will put a lying spirit into the mouth of the prophet like He has done in the past.
We read in 1 Kings 22:23 “Now therefore, behold, the LORD has put a deceiving spirit in the mouth of all these your prophets; and the LORD has proclaimed disaster against you.”
When we go to God for counsel, when we seek direction and wisdom we must do so in a pure heart and we must WAIT for Him. The apostle James wrote in James 1:5:”If any man needs wisdom, let Him ask of God who gives to all men freely and it will be given to Him.” The apostle Paul writes in Romans 8:14 he says:“those who are led by the Spirit of God THEY are the sons of God.” There are many people who use the Bible for their direction. They plan a course of action and then they want confirmation, so they flip the pages and hope it falls open at a scripture that will give them the confirmation that they want. If you go to God with wickedness in your heart, He will answer you according to your wickedness! If you go to people for counsel He will put a lying spirit in their mouth and you will hear what you want to hear. He will give you the answer that you are after. But if you are pure in heart you go and pray and you ask the Lord to guide you into HIS ways and then you are INDIFFERENT, you don't care what the answer is. All that you care about is to do the will of God. But if you run after people God will put a lying spirit in the mouth of those people and you will be deceived because you refuse to trust Jesus; you refuse to follow Him. You are running after your own deceitfulness and He will help you to be deceived, BECAUSE YOU DON'T TRUST HIM.
TRUST in Jesus and FOLLOW HIM, PRAY AND ASK and YOU WILL RECEIVE.
May Jesus bless you.

Perfect Joy and Happiness


There is an end to all physical achievement and contentment. There is a point of happiness that just evades you. Contentment only lasts for a while and then people go seek for some more. If we are seeking for contentment and happiness in this world and from other people then we will always be disappointed. People will always let you down. You will come to point where your contentment fails you, when your achievement does not make you happy any more, when you have climbed the highest mountain, when you have achieved the highest achievement that you possibly could, then you will still feel incomplete because there is a part in us that only God can fill. God who made us is the only One who can give us peace and happiness.
Our happiness does not depend on our relationship with other people or our possessions or what we can achieve in life. There is a peace and a happiness that only God can give us even though we have nothing else in this world, no other physical things and unless we come to Jesus and truly find Him and find our happiness in Him we will never be content.
The prophet Habakkuk wrote in Habakkuk 3:17-19 “Though the fig tree should not blossom, And there be no fruit on the vines, Though the yield of the olive should fail, And the fields produce no food, Though the flock should be cut off from the fold, And there be no cattle in the stalls, 18YET I will exult in the LORD, I will rejoice in the God of my salvation. 19The Lord GOD is my strength, And He has made my feet like hinds’ feet, And makes me walk on my high places.”
The prophet found his contentment his peace and his happiness in his closeness to God, his relationship with his Creator. There is only one place of peace that passes all understanding and that is when you have come into unity with Jesus, because He takes our sins away and He gives us peace beyond all understanding. You cannot find that contentment with another person, with possessions, with achievements. There is an end to all those things but when you have found Jesus then you have found happiness and fulfillment.
Have you found that happiness and contentment in Jesus, yet?
May Jesus bless you.

Your only chance to have eternal life


The whole world is already judged and condemned because of sin. The wages of sin is death and the soul that sins must die. We are already convicted. The only hope that we have is if we can have the guilt of our sin removed. Only Jesus can remove the guilt of our sin. Jesus did not come to condemn or to judge the world, He came to save the world. He paid the penalty for the sin of the whole world. He died in our place, but we need to repent of sin, turn away from sin and obey Jesus, SIN NO MORE! He grants forgiveness to those who REPENT of sin and who OBEY Him. He justifies them. He sent us the Holy Spirit to convict us of sin righteousness and judgment and we must LISTEN to the Holy Spirit, to that voice of His Spirit convicting us. We must repent and live holy and obey Jesus then we will be suitable for the kingdom of heaven. He gives eternal life to those who obey Him and who live righteously and holy, but those who reject Him are already condemned to eternal damnation.
Have you accepted Jesus as your Lord and Master? Have you pleaded His forgiveness? Are you obeying Him? Are you living in a close relationship with Jesus? Because only those who serve Him as Lord and Master, they are justified. Those who reject Jesus, they reject their only chance of being saved from damnation. Jesus alone is the way and the truth and the life, there is nobody else. Nobody else can cleanse you of your sins, only Jesus. Accept Him as your Lord, love Him and obey Him and He will justify you. Jesus is our only chance! Don't let that chance pass you by but embrace Jesus and follow Him, every day of your life until the very end.
May Jesus bless you.

Feeling the presence of God


God is omnipresent, He is omnipotent, He is everywhere but only those who are born again of the Spirit of God can sense His presence. Jesus said that unless a man is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God. You need to be born again. You are born again if you believe in Jesus and you repent of sin and you accept Jesus as your Lord and Master, then He regenerates your spirit, He makes your spirit come alive and you can sense the presence of God. Only those who are born again can feel the presence of God, can hear the voice of the Master. (You must also be baptized in water in obedience to Jesus.)
But there are many people who are born again who do not sense the presence of God. They do not hear the voice of the Master. Why is that? Sin separates us from God. No sin will come into his presence and many believers continue in sin and that is why their sins and their iniquities come between them and God. They pray and they pray against the ceiling. They say:”I pray and I don't feel God. I don't see God.” It is because of your sin, bitterness, unholiness, your love for the world, you persist in going after your own desires. You are not seeking God. You just want His presence and you want the blessings of God but you don't want God. You are still going on in sin. If you remove your sin you will feel the presence of God.
No sin comes into the presence of God. Go and pray, repent, ask the Holy Spirit to show you what it is that is separating you from God. Whether it is bitterness, unholiness, maybe you are in an adulterous relationship, maybe you are adulterating in your mind, watching TV, you are thinking the wrong things, you love the things of the world, you lust after the things of the world. You are not seeking God, you are not seeking Jesus, you are not seeking to feel His presence all the time. You just want Him as a convenience. Whatever it is that is between you and God, that is preventing you from sensing His presence, and THAT WILL TAKE YOU TO HELL! Because if you are away from God, you are in danger of hell fire. Maybe it is some unforgiveness or bitterness that you have towards somebody. You have got to repent of it! IF YOU DO NOT SENSE THE PRESENCE OF GOD ALL THE TIME, YOU ARE IN TROUBLE! Then you need to find out what it is. Say:”Lord, what is this that is between me and You that I do not sense Your presence?” And repent of it, GET RID OF IT! OR ELSE IT WILL TAKE YOU TO HELL.
A child of God ALWAYS walks in the presence of God, ALWAYS SENSES THE PRESENCE OF GOD AND HE SEEKS THE APPROVAL OF GOD, and he gets that approval from the confirmation of the Holy Spirit in his heart. He KNOWS – “I AM PLEASING TO MY FATHER. My Lord and my Master is pleased with me, I am walking in His ways.” If you do not sense the presence and the approval of God YOU ARE IN TROUBLE and you need to go on your knees and seek Jesus with all your heart! Get that trouble out! Get rid of that sin and come live in His presence every moment of your life. Either you are in His presence or you are away from Him!
Get rid of the hindrances and get into the presence of God and stay there, and make sure that you always sense the presence of God.
May Jesus bless you.

One Step At a Time


We are all lost without Jesus and when He found us we were without hope, but He became our hope and we thrust ourselves onto Him. We put our trust in Him for salvation and therefor WE HAVE TO FOLLOW HIM, voluntarily. Jesus said:”Whoever WISHES to come after Me, let him deny himself , pick up his cross and follow Me, every day.” We follow Jesus because He is the only way to eternal life and we OBEY Him because we love Him. We go where He takes us and we don't complain. We follow Him because we trust Him and because He has become our life.
If Jesus has not become your life and if you do not follow HIM, then you don't have eternal life! It is not about religion, it is about Jesus and following Him, moment by moment. You trust Him with your life and wherever He takes you, is the way. That is the road that He takes you to eternal life, BUT you need to follow Him. If you withdraw, you don't have life because then YOU have left Jesus. Jesus alone in the way and the truth and the life and He determines our footsteps, so if things go “wrong” or they go the way that we did not want them to go IT IS STILL IN HIS PLAN AND WE SHOULD NOT COMPLAIN! We must TRUST HIM WITH OUR LIFE.
We must pick up our cross every day and follow Him and we must pick up His burden. He said:”Take My yoke on you because My yoke is soft and My burden is light.” What is His yoke, what is His burden? It is this world that is lost. It is people that are going to hell. We must pick up that burden and bring them to Jesus so that they can also, as we do, follow and obey Jesus and have eternal life.
Are you following Jesus, one step at a time, every day of your life? Have you found life in Jesus? Is Jesus REAL to you? Do you seek His approval all the time? Do you love Him and trust Him that much that you follow Him every day of your life?
May Jesus bless you

Words of Life


Believers spend thousands of dollars to go and listen to special preachers and speakers, “anointed” preachers. They buy their books and their media. They run after “prophets,” people with “giftings,” BUT they won't go to Jesus! The words of Jesus are eternal life for all those WHO OBEY THEM. But people don't want the words of Jesus.
The words of Jesus, that He spoke were recorded in the gospels Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, and if we will just go and pray and wait on Jesus He will speak to us but people don't want to listen to Jesus and that is why they don't have life in them. They listen to MORTALS. You become like the person whom you listen to! THEY ALL DIE! The words of Jesus are eternal life. Who do you listen to? Do you listen to people? Do you want to become like them? Or do you listen to Jesus? Do you take time to go and pray and wait on Him? He will speak to you. He will speak to you WORDS OF LIFE!
Who do you listen to? To Jesus, or to people?
May Jesus bless you.

Submit to His Sovereinty or Perish


You cannot have eternal life if you are not willing to to submit yourself totally to the sovereignty of Jesus Christ and serve Him as Lord. Jesus is the only way. He is the only One who can give you eternal life BUT you must OBEY Him.
If you believe that He is Lord then you must OBEY Him. He said:”If you love me KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS, DO WHAT I TELL YOU.” If you do not OBEY Jesus you cannot have salvation. If you do not trust Him and submit yourself to Him you will not follow Him, neither obey Him and you cannot have eternal life. If you accept Jesus as your LORD and you ask Him to save you then you must be willing to totally submit yourself to Him, EVERY SINGLE ASPECT OF YOUR LIFE and you must do so WILLFULLY.
Jesus gives eternal life to those who obey Him, who submit to Him. He is the ONLY ONE who can give you life and if you don't obey Him you will not have life. If you do what please YOU that you are not pleasing HIM and you will not see life, you will not have eternal life. Jesus said:”Whoever WISHES to come after Me must deny himself, pick up his cross and follow Me.” You must totally and utterly submit yourself to the Lordship of Jesus Christ or else you will not have eternal life. You MUST obey His words as written in the gospels Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. You MUST turn away from sin and you MUST seek to be pleasing to Jesus ALL THE TIME. You MUST be baptized in water. You MUST ask Him for the baptism in the Holy Spirit and you MUST follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit or else you are following your own mind.
Many people want to have salvation their own way. There is no road map. The Bible cannot save you. Only Jesus saves you, IF you totally SUBMIT to His sovereignty, IF you serve Him as LORD. It is about a relationship with the King, Him as LORD AND MASTER, and YOU as SERVANT OF THE KING. If we are not willing to serve the Master we will NOT have eternal life. Without Jesus there is no life. Jesus HIMSELF is the WAY and the TRUTH and the LIFE! Our relationship with Him is a spiritual relationship through constant prayer being led by His Holy Spirit. IF we have not received the baptism in the Holy Spirit and we do not have the SPIRIT OF CHRIST, WE DO NOT BELONG TO HIM! If we do not obey Him He is not our Lord and He is not our Master, we are just deceiving ourselves.
Have you submitted yourself TOTALLY to the Lordship of Jesus Christ? Is Jesus REALLY your Lord and Master? Are you REALLY following Him? Because if you are not following Him you will not have eternal life. If you do not utterly obey Him, HE IS NOT YOUR LORD! HE IS NOTHING TO YOU! And then you don't have eternal life. Have you accepted Jesus as LORD?
May Jesus bless you.

Joyfully Endure Until The End


Jesus is the only way to have eternal life, to have salvation and His way is not the easy way. Whatever anybody has told you, to follow Jesus will not be easy. Jesus said:”Whoever wishes to come after Me, let him deny himself, every day, pick up his cross and follow Me.” Many people start out well. They say:”I will follow Jesus until the very end!” Very few endure until the end because Jesus takes you along a difficult road, a steep road, a road where you will be tested, where you will be tried, where you will be coached and disciplined. He will teach you His ways and many people refuse to go that road, because it's not an easy road. 
You cannot walk that road on your own. You cannot follow that road by a book, YOU NEED TO FOLLOW JESUS! There is no road map, you need to follow Jesus. You must OBEY Him. You must know Him. You must listen to His voice. You must have His Spirit in you and He must guide you. You cannot make it on your own. You will be tested and you will be tried and if you do not lean on Jesus you just won't make it. He said:”Take My yoke on you for my yoke is soft and My burden is light.” Why? Because He helps you carry it but you need to stay focused on Him. You need to be determined to follow Jesus. Some days will be very difficult. You will have to choose between pleasing yourself, your own pleasures, your own ambitions and obeying Jesus. You will have to choose between Jesus and friends. Will you choose Jesus and go with Him, or will you stay with your friends? Because then you have left Jesus. When things go difficult people start whining, moaning, complaining. Jesus is the only way and THAT IS THE ONLY WAY OUT! Either you walk that road and He will take you out or you are going to end up in hell! You will stay right where you are. Only those who STAY WITH JESUS and endure until the end, only those will make it.
Many do not want to obey Jesus, they don't want to obey His words. He said:”Repent and be baptized.” Many don't want to be baptized. He promised us the Holy Spirit to guide us. Many don't want the Holy Spirit. They say:”I've got a Holy Bible, and I go to church!” YOU DON'T HAVE JESUS! You need Jesus, nothing else. Jesus is the only way and unless your relationship with Jesus is such that you LISTEN to Him, you PRAY, you FOLLOW Him, you hear His voice; unless you are closely following Him you won't make it, because JESUS IS THE WAY. 
If you start whining and complaining He will let you go! Jesus said:”Whoever puts his hand to the plow and looks back, is not worthy of Me.” He is not begging you to follow Him. If you don't want to come, He will let you go! YOU need to endure until the end and you need to JOYFULLY FOLLOW HIM. If you don't love Him more than everything else you won't endure, because when you go through sickness and pain and tribulation you will have to choose. Am I going to whine and moan and complain or will I trust Him and say:”Lord, this is the road. If this is the dark road that You are taking me along, that's fine because I know I am with Jesus even though I have to go through pain.” You only learn to trust Him when things are going very very difficult. It is then that your faith is tested. Will you endure the test? Will you still stay with Jesus when you are persecuted, when things do not go well with you? Many people drop out!
We have to joyfully run this race until the end. We must endure, joyfully carry on and follow Jesus. If we don't there is no salvation!  We must endure until the end, we have to stay with Jesus ALL THE WAY UNTILL THE VERY END.
Are you following Jesus? Or have you dropped out? Or are you just religious? We need to stay close to Jesus and joyfully follow HIM every day. It's about your relationship with Him. Do you love Jesus more than anything?
May Jesus bless you.

The Slave Mentality


The whole world is in the powers of darkness and in bondage. We are born into bondage. When we are born we come into this world where there are limitations, where we are slaves of the system, we are slaves to sin, we are slaves to fear, uncertainty, insecurity, anxieties. You need to fight for survival. You are born into this bondage. Jesus came to make us free, to elevate us, to pull us out of this bondage, to make us children of God so that we can share in the freedom of the children of God. He makes us free from these bondages, the bondage of the fear of death, because He gives us eternal life; the bondage of sin, He makes us absolutely free from all these ties, these shackles that hold us down.
But, we need to submit ourselves to Jesus, NOT AS SLAVES, that we used to be. We were slaves to bondage. We are all born into this slavery but Jesus comes and He makes us free. He delivers us from the bondage, the slavery of sin and fear and He brings us into the freedom of the sons of God, but when He brings us into freedom HE MAKES US SERVANTS of the Kingdom of God.
The difference between a slave and a servant is, a slave is in bondage but a servant is free. A servant freely serves, he gives himself and he looks after the Kingdom of God and we are called to serve the Kingdom of God, to serve our brothers and sisters who are also being set free from this bondage. We are servants of God.
Many people do not want to serve. They've still got that SLAVE MENTALITY. They think like a slave, they act like a slave, they go back to the ways of a slave. They've got to be beaten up all the time to make them do anything good. They long to go back to sin, they whine and they complain and they moan all the time. They are never content. A child of God, a servant, is content, because he knows:”I belong to God! And everything belongs to my Father, and whatever He puts me through is for a good cause because He knows what He is doing! And He controls my life, and I willfully submit to Him! I love to serve My Father.” A slave hates to serve, he doesn't want to serve, you have got to force him. Many believers have not been born again, they have STILL GOT THAT SLAVE MENTALITY. Some of them are born again but they've still got that mentality, they want to break out, they don't want to submit themselves to authority, they hate God. They want to do what they want to do. They want all the benefits to themselves but they won't serve. They want to inherit the Kingdom of God, they won't serve in the Kingdom of God. They don't want to earn anything, they just want it for free. That is the SLAVE MENTALITY. He just wants to TAKE. He says:”I want, I want, I want!” The servant says:”I give. I give myself freely as God has given me freedom, and I serve the One who loved me first!” That is the servant. A servant willfully and gladly serves under all circumstances and he is grateful to his Father for adopting him to be a child of God who has got a hope of the inheritance of eternal life and therefor he gladly endures rejection, tribulation for the sake of the Kingdom of God and he does not mind working for his Father because he knows:”I am also an heir to the Kingdom of God!”
Have you got a SLAVE MENTALITY or have you been changed? Have you become a servant of the Kingdom of God. Is your mind set on your Father's kingdom all the time, and you want to serve your Father? Do you want to follow the example of your Lord and Master, Jesus Christ, obey His words and be pleasing to the Father?
Or are you looking for justification for sin? You just want to go back? You love the world so much. Even though you were in bondage there were so many benefits in this world and you just want to jump out? You just want to go back and enjoy the pleasures of sin? THEN YOU HAVE STILL GOT THE SLAVE MENTALITY!
You need to become a servant of the Kingdom of God who gladly SERVES HIS MASTER because he KNOW his destiny.
May Jesus bless you.

All In Vain


I came across an article on the internet that I wish to share with you.
“Charles Hopper -- 63 years old and facing mounting financial problems -- hanged himself in the garage of his Connecticut home last month. But five years earlier, before desperation drove him to that point, he'd been an executive at Lehman Brothers earning seven figures a year.
Hopper's fall from grace -- as revealed in a detailed New York Post feature this week -- is just one in a long series of tragic outcomes that can be traced back to the financial crisis.
Hopper had been a hedge fund advisory executive at Lehman, but he lost his job in 2007, about a year before that firm filed for bankruptcy and triggered the bank panic of 2008. Hopper struggled to find work for two years, eventually landing a job at Appomattox Advisory that paid $150,000. He was underwater on his mortgage and had borrowed and spent a little too freely during the good years -- for himself, pricey watches and a Porsche; for his wife, whatever she wanted, it seems, including cameras, sculling lessons and graduate school courses.
His suicide, sadly, is far from the only recent example of a Wall Street worker driven to extreme measures after experiencing financial troubles.”
This is so sad. Everything that this man worked for came to naught. What will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and he loses his soul. How many people are there not today who are running after the things of this world, making money, seeking the pleasures of life? And then suddenly they are cut off or they lose their fortune and their whole life disappears in front of them. They can’t handle it, they commit suicide and they go into eternity LOST. In the end it was not worth it.
If we do not have a treasure in Heaven then we have no expectation. We need to work on our treasure in Heaven, NOW. Jesus must be our treasure and then whenever our time comes, we will have an expectation. This world with all its desires is passing away quickly but those who do the will of God, they will stay forever. Do you have a treasure in Heaven or is your only treasure the one on earth? When you die, will Jesus know you? Or will He say to you: Go away I never knew you, your worker of wickedness. Where your treasure is there your heart will also be. Is your heart with Jesus?
May Jesus bless you.

Only One Shepherd


Some years ago I was waking up one morning when I heard these words:”Go into all the world and make disciples of all nations. Take their hand and put it in My hand,”
Jesus said:”My sheep LISTEN to MY VOICE and they FOLLOW ME” John 10:27.
Is Jesus REAL to you? Do you HEAR His voice? Do you LISTEN and do you FOLLOW Him?
May Jesus bless you.

Christian Snake Handlers


Jesus promised his disciples that certain signs will follow those who believe in Him. I read from Mark 16:15 “And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. 16“ He who has believed and has been baptized shall be saved; but he who has disbelieved shall be condemned. 17“ And these signs will accompany those who have believed: in My name they will cast out demons, they will speak with new tongues; 18they will pick up serpents, and if they drink any deadly poison, it shall not hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.”
These signs did follow and they are still following those who believe in Jesus. Believers were bitten by snakes and they survived, others were given poison without them knowing it and they suffered no harm. We read in Acts 28 where Paul had survived a shipwreck and then a snake bit him. We see what happened in Acts 28:3 “But when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks and laid them on the fire, a viper came out because of the heat, and fastened on his hand. 4And when the natives saw the creature hanging from his hand, they began saying to one another, “Undoubtedly this man is a murderer, and though he has been saved from the sea, justice has not allowed him to live.” 5However he shook the creature off into the fire and suffered no harm.”
Paul did not go play with a snake, he was gathering firewood and then the snake bit him. There are foolish believers who play with snakes, they handle snakes and they get bitten and they die. God never told us to play with snakes. He said in Genesis 3:15 that you will “bruise his head.” That's how you handle a snake, you crush his head. You don't play with a snake.
There are many believers who play with the devil and they think that they will get away with it. They watch TV, they play with sin, they are friends with the world, they fornicate with the world. Friendship with the world is enmity with God. If you play with the devil you will get into trouble. If you watch pornography then those demons will come into you and you will get addicted. If you start smoking or you start using liquor or substances, then you will become addicted to those things. The same with prescription drugs, you will get addicted to it. Don't play with the devil and don't play with snakes. Come to Jesus for deliverance and whomever the Son of God has set free will be free and free indeed, and they don't play with the devil, they don't play with demons. They run from temptation and they preserve themselves pure and holy unto Jesus.
Don't play with the devil! Don't play with snakes! Submit yourself to God, resist the devil and he will flee from you. And as far as the snake goes, you crush his head!
May Jesus bless you.  

It's not about YOU


The natural man, the normal man, is only interested in one thing and in one person. That one person is himself. He wants to gratify himself, satisfy himself, his whole life centers around himself but a person who is born again, his life, every thought centers around God, because God is His King and he wants to be pleasing to his Father.
We read in John 3:3 Jesus said to a man called Nicodemus: “unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” Unless a person is born of God then he does not belong to God, he is not interested in God. He is only interested in himself. Jesus, the Son of God came for one purpose only and that was to DO THE WILL OF THE FATHER. We read in Hebrews 10:6 “IN WHOLE BURNT OFFERINGS AND sacrifices FOR SIN THOU HAST TAKEN NO PLEASURE. 7“ THEN I SAID, ‘BEHOLD, I HAVE COME (IN THE ROLL OF THE BOOK IT IS WRITTEN OF ME) TO DO THY WILL, O GOD.’ ”
That is what Jesus came to do, the WILL OF THE FATHER and if we are born again of the Spirit of God we will also be seeking to do the will of the Father. Jesus showed us how to be pleasing to the Father, He gave us the words of the Father, which were written down in the gospels Matthew, Mark, Luke and John by the eye witnesses, and the Holy Spirit that He sent, also confirms those same words, reminds us of the same words that Jesus spoke.
Many believers are only concerned about themselves, about “their salvation”, “their ministry”, “their position.” It is not about YOU or about me. It is about how well we fit into God's plan, how well we fit into God's Kingdom, how well we obey God. If you are not born again then YOU ARE THE KING, it is all about you, but if you are born again it is about God your Father and about being pleasing to your Lord and Master, Jesus Christ. Have you been born again? Is your life about Jesus and the Kingdom of God or is it still about yourself?
May Jesus bless you.

A Root of Bitterness


The devil uses bitterness and unforgiveness to destroy many people. I am looking at a very sad article on the internet about a person who killed a high school mate for a very silly prank that was played fifty years ago. I include the link to this article: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/06/16/carl-ericcson-murder-norman-johnson-_n_1602411.html?utm_hp_ref=crime&icid=maing-grid7%7Cmain5%7Cdl1%7Csec1_lnk3%26pLid%3D170481
'From the moment 73-year-old Carl Ericsson rang his old high school classmate's doorbell in January, verified the man's identity and then shot him dead, the question had been what prompted him to confront a man he hadn't even spoken to in years.
The startling answer, a prosecutor said Friday, was a 1950s locker room humiliation that festered in Ericsson's mind for a half-century.
"He said that a jockstrap was put on his head," Kenneth Meyer said. "It's the only thing he's ever mentioned in talking to law enforcement."'
This person played a prank on him so many years ago and the grudge festered in him for all that many years, that he took a gun and he went and killed this person, after so many years. The outcome of it is extremely sad. All that is left is remorse and pain, for the person who committed the crime and for everybody involved, and this person himself, all he could say is:”I wish I could turn back the hands of time. But it is too late.
He allowed the devil a foothold. If we allow the devil a foothold he will destroy us. Many people are walking around with bitterness because of what other people had said to them, what people have done to them and that is destroying them and it is destroying other people. We must not allow the devil a foothold.
The writer of Hebrews warns us in Hebrews 12:15 “See to it that no one comes short of the grace of God; that no root of bitterness springing up causes trouble, and by it many be defiled;” The devil uses a small thing like that, which is insignificant and he gets a foothold, and he blows it up, and then people go and do things that they never wanted to do. The devil comes into you and once the devil has got a hold of you, then he uses that thing to destroy you and to destroy other people. You must not allow the devil a foothold. We must be very careful what we say to other people and we must be very careful to forgive others or else we ourselves will also not be forgiven. If we set free, we will be set free but if we fester grudges then those grudges will destroy us. Many marriages are destroyed, many relationships are destroyed; many people are destroyed and they end up in hell. That is why Jesus taught us to pray, I read from Matthew 6:11 When we pray we must say ”Give us this day our daily bread. 12‘ And forgive us our debts, as WE ALSO HAVE FORGIVEN our debtors.”
He says in verse 14“For if you forgive others for their transgressions, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. 15“ But IF YOU DO NOT FORGIVE OTHERS, THEN YOUR FATHER WILL NOT FORGIVE YOUR TRANSGRESSIONS.” We must not allow a root of bitterness to take a hold of us and fester in us because it will destroy us in the end.
Whatever anybody has done against you, many years back, FORGIVE THEM and then God will forgive you. Go and ask forgiveness and get your slate clean. Don't allow those things to make you end up in hell. Don't give the devil a foothold because he will destroy you. Do not allow a root of bitterness to spring up because it will destroy you.
May Jesus bless you.

YOU might need DELIVERANCE


Many born again believers are oppressed by demons. They have demons in them that cause them to do things that they don’t want to do. You often find that a believer will tell you that blasphemous thoughts come to his mind or when he sees a woman, he has got lustful thoughts. He can’t help it and he doesn’t want it but it just controls him.
You have allowed those things to come into your mind and you have opened the door for the devil and he has found a foothold and now he is controlling you because you allowed him in, but you’ve got to get him out. The same with fear and anxiety. People watch videos, movies, the same with rage, murdererous thoughts. They open themselves to these things  because they watch the movies, they play xbox, they play these video games. Maybe they watch porn (Pornography) now these demons have come into them and this person wants to stop doing this but he cannot do it because he has allowed the devil in and with the best will in the world, he cannot control it. The demon is inside of you and you need deliverance. You need to get that demon out, whatever it is, fear, anxiety, lust. The Holy Spirit will show you what it is because you are convicted of that thing but you still keep on doing it and you don’t want to do it. You are in bondage. The same with tobacco, addictions, whatever it is. You are possessed and you need deliverance.
You can pray for deliverance yourself. You go on your knees and you pray to Jesus, you plead forgiveness, you ask the Lord to forgive you and to deliver you and He will deliver you but you need to take a stand against that sin and against those demons that you have allowed inside of you. Submit yourself to God, resist the devil and he will flee from you. Go on your knees and pray and ask the Lord to forgive you and to deliver you and then you rebuke those demons in the Name of Jesus. You tell them to get out of you. You say: "Devil you are not welcome here anymore, I don’t want you, I rebuke you in the Name of Jesus, get out!" And then you exhale because the demon is a spirit and he is going to come out through your mouth. He will come out like a yawn or like a foul odor or maybe a burp or you might vomit. Because those demons, those fell demons lodge inside of you and they make you sick. There are many of them, are demons of infirmity, of sickness. If one comes in he brings his friends in. If you start with worries, anxiety, then demons of suicide and murder also come into you. If you’ve got violent thoughts and you have been watching violent movies, playing violent video games, those things have been drawn into you and they have come in there with their friends. You’ve got to be delivered, you’ve got to get it out, but you must cast it out. And you go pray and you cast those demons out and you exhale and you cast those demons out and they will come out and you carry on, you keep on praying until they are out. You will know when it goes out of you and you keep pray and the Holy Spirit will bring to your mind the names of those that are still there, whether it be lust or whatever it is. The Holy Spirit will put it in your mind and you speak to that demon on its name, addiction, whatever, and you tell him to get out and you keep on praying until his out and if you have not  received the Baptism  of the Holy Spirit yet, you need to ask Jesus for the Baptism in the Holy Spirit so that you receive that gift and that you have a supernatural, a heavenly tongue by which you can pray to God and the demons fear when you speak in tongues, when you pray in tongues, they run away from you. And you’ve got to practice praying in tongues. You were filled with demons now you need to be filled with the Holy Spirit because whatever you are full of that is what you become.
You’ve got to get those demons out, you’ve got to become free, delivered.  And then invite the Holy Spirit into you and keep the doors closed. Don’t watch television (TV), don’t watch pornography, get rid of your bad friends, get rid of everything that ties you to that thing that which binds you. Don’t go those places. Reserve yourself unto God or else the devil will get a hold of you and he will bind you more and more. He takes you a bit at a time, one small bind, just a dirty joke, just watching that one pornography picture and it is stuck in your mind and then once he bounds you he binds you more and more until you are totally paralyzed. And if you allow that then he is going to take you over and he will destroy you. And many people are destroyed by the devil because they have become totally possessed.
Many of them have received the baptism in the Holy Spirit but they are not practicing their relationship with Jesus. They have let down their guard. You’ve always got to have your guard up and keep the house clean, reserve it onto Jesus because if you cast those demons out and you do not invite the Holy Spirit of God in there, then those demons are going to come back with seven worse and the end will be worse than the beginning.
Get serious and ask Jesus to deliver you or else the devil will destroy you and he will cause you to sin, things that you didn’t want to do because you have allowed him to get a hold of you and to control you and in the end he will take you to hell, if you allow him. Get rid of the devil and invite Jesus in.
May Jesus bless you.

Butt Naked and Demon Possessed


This generation is becoming demon possessed and demon oppressed and people do not even realize it. One thing that demon possessed people have in common is that many of them lose their clothes. Just recently we had reports in the media the homeless man in Florida who was attacked and his face was chewed off by a person who was berserk, who was naked. The police had to shoot this attacker. He was just a normal man but something got into him, he became demon possessed.
It is exactly the same as what also happened in biblical times. We read in Luke 8:26 “26 And they sailed to the country of the Gerasenes, which is opposite Galilee. 27And when He had come out onto the land, a certain man from the city met Him who was possessed with demons; and who had not put on any clothing for a long time, and was not living in a house, but in the tombs. 28And seeing Jesus, he cried out and fell before Him, and said in a loud voice, “What do I have to do with You, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg You, do not torment me.” 29For He had been commanding the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For it had seized him many times; and he was bound with chains and shackles and kept under guard; and yet he would burst his fetters and be driven by the demon into the desert. 30And Jesus asked him, “What is your name?” And he said, “Legion”; for many demons had entered him. 31And they were entreating Him not to command them to depart into the abyss. 32Now there was a herd of many swine feeding there on the mountain; and the demons entreated Him to permit them to enter the swine. And He gave them permission.” We know what happened then.
As people have kicked God out of their lives and have embraced the media and wickedness, this wickedness has got into them and we can see that from things that people are doing. Just recently a woman was standing next to a high way in Florida, exposing her private parts, women going on a golf course and flashing their private parts. The celebrities, women, are continuously losing their clothes in a “wardrobe malfunction,” it is deliberate! It's demon possession, they want to show off their private parts. It is because the devil has got into them and they have got no more decency in them. The devil is controlling them, controlling their minds. Just recently a man stripped himself naked in front of the TSA at the Oregon airport. Celebrities and singers are going around the world promoting vulgarism and the whole world is following after them. Kids emulate them and they become demon possessed. They have kicked God out of their lives and demons are coming into them, and demons are possessing them. Once the one demon comes in he brings his friends in as well and before you know it you end up like the man in Florida, he had no control over himself and he was killed by the police. The world is promoting a zombie apocalypse, that is demon possession.
Are you exposing yourself to demon possession? Because then you can end up exactly the same as all these people who are possessed by the devil and who are being destroyed by him. Either you have the Spirit of God in you and you belong to Him or you have demons in you and they will destroy you. They will take you to hell but they will destroy you also before they take you there. The only way that we can escape this wickedness, this destruction, is to turn to Jesus, to turn away form all these wicked things. It is the media, the Harry Potters, the movies; all of this wickedness is promoted. It is thrown into your face all the time! The xboxes, the video games, all of these things cause entry of these demons into you, through your eyes, through your ears and through your senses. But once they grab a hold of you they take control of you and then you are not yourself any more. Then you destroy yourself and you destroy other people and you are in bondage, you cannot do anything about it! You become a captive of satan!
Do you want to be free? Then you need Jesus! You need to cry out to Jesus to deliver you. But you have to turn away from wickedness. You have to turn away from sin and obey Jesus, because once the devil has got you, he is going to destroy you. TURN TO JESUS WHILE YOU CAN, WHILE YOU STILL HAVE A SOUND MIND, before the devil takes over your mind and utterly destroys you. CRY OUT TO JESUS NOW BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE. He will hear you and He will answer you. Jesus is the only one who can help you.
I attach to this video many links of people who have lost their clothes because they have become demon possessed. There is also the testimony of general butt naked who was demon possessed, driven by demons and he himself killed more than 20,000 Liberians. He was controlled by the devil. It is a very good testimony. Go and watch it. It will wake you up. Get to know Jesus before it is too late. Ask Him to deliver you, because Jesus is the only way.
May Jesus bless you.

No desire


A new born baby yearns for his mother's milk. Similarly a new born Christian hungers and thirsts for the milk of the word of God, which is to HEAR from the Father, to know Jesus better. He is not looking for a book to read, he wants to receive from the Father Himself, from the fountain of life. He wants to know Jesus more and better. He's got a desire!
Have you got a desire for Jesus? Do you hunger and thirst for righteousness. Do you crave after Jesus, Himself? To be with Him, to hear from Him, to have His Spirit dwelling in you, to have streams of living water flowing through you?
Many believers have no desire for God. They have no desire for the Holy Spirit. They are not thirsty and they are not hungry and they will not receive because they do not want, neither do they have eternal life.
Those who are truly born again hunger and thirst for Jesus, Himself! They are born of the Spirit and they want more of the Spirit of God. Have you received the Spirit of God? Have you got streams of living water flowing through you?
May Jesus bless you.

Work while you can


As children of God we are heirs of the Kingdom of God but we are also stewards and we must be careful how we apply everything that God has given to us, because He will hold us responsible for our time, our resources, everything that God has put in our hand.
Many believers are poor stewards of that which God has entrusted to them and Jesus spoke of such a poor steward. We read in Luke 16:1-9 “Now He was also saying to the disciples, “There was a certain rich man who had a steward, and this steward was reported to him as squandering his possessions. 2 And he called him and said to him, what is this I hear about you? Give an account of your stewardship, for you can no longer be steward.’ 3 And the steward said to himself, what shall I do, since my master is taking the stewardship away from me? I am not strong enough to dig; I am ashamed to beg. 4 I know what I shall do, so that when I am removed from the stewardship, they will receive me into their homes. 5 And he summoned each one of his masters debtors, and he began saying to the first, How much do you owe my master? 6 And he said, A hundred measures of oil. And he said to him, Take your bill, and sit down quickly and write fifty. 7 Then he said to another, And how much do you owe?’ And he said, A hundred measures of wheat. He said to him, take your bill, and write eighty. 8 And his master praised the unrighteous steward because he had acted shrewdly; for the sons of this age are more shrewd in relation to their own kind than the sons of light. 9 And I say to you, make friends for yourselves by means of the mammon of unrighteousness; that when it fails, they may receive you into the eternal dwellings.”
Many of God’s children are not faithful over that which He has given them, the time, the resources and they will be taken away as stewards. But these people think that they are better than the sinners, they scoff at those who they call unsaved but they do not realize that they will end up in HELL with those same people that they are scoffing at, and thus Jesus said that the people of the world are more wise than some believers because those believers that are unfaithful will spend eternity in HELL with those people whom they regarded as unsaved.
Are you a faithful steward of what God has given to you? Are you working for the Kingdom of God, or do you think it is the pastor’s job, it is somebody’s else’s job to testify for Jesus, it is not "my job." Are you looking after the Kingdom of God? Are you working for the Kingdom of God? We must work while we can because we don’t know when our time will come. It might be today, we just receive report of a family member who passed away yesterday, he was only 53. We don’t know when our time will come and what will you have to show to Jesus if you pass away today? You will have to give account of your stewardship. What did you do for the Kingdom of Heaven? What did you do for Jesus? Did you witness for Him? If we have no interest in the Kingdom of God, how can we expect to inherit anything?
Many believers will end up in hell with those people whom they regarded as unsaved, because they themselves were unfaithful over that which God entrusted to them and He decided that He has removed them, He has taken away the stewardship from them. Are we faithful stewards of that which God has entrusted to us or will He take away the stewardship form us also?
Let us work while we can and make sure that we are found to be faithful stewards of the Kingdom of God. Are you working for the Kingdom or don’t you care?
May Jesus bless you.

The Greatest Orator Of All Times


Jesus Christ was the biggest Orator of all times. He never raised His voice, neither shouted on the streets, He never used an amplifying system but His words still reverberate through the universe. His words are eternal life for those who obey them. He sent the Holy Spirit to remind us of His words.
The words of Jesus, those words that He spoke, are written in the gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John and the Holy Spirit reminds every born again believer of those very same words of Jesus, the words of eternal life.
People pay lots of money to other people but they don't care for the words of Jesus. Do you care for the words of Jesus? Do you OBEY His words? Because HIS WORDS MEAN ETERNAL LIFE FOR EVERY PERSON WHO OBEYS HIS WORDS, and He still speaks. He still speaks today through His Holy Spirit to those who love Him, who follow Him and who OBEY Him. Do you HEAR His words? Have you received His Holy Spirit and are you guided by His Spirit?
May Jesus bless you.

The Spirit of Truth


The whole world is in darkness. People are being deceived, brainwashed and mesmerized by the media, by other people, by evil forces; they don't know where they are going and they don't know what is being planned against them. But those who follow Jesus are not in darkness because He is the Light of the World and He sent us the SPIRIT OF TRUTH the Holy Spirit to guide us, but MANY BELIEVERS ARE ALSO IN DARKNESS BECAUSE THEY DO NOT TRUST THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH, they don't want the Holy Spirit. They will tell you they have got a “Word of God” (Bible) and common sense. They trust in the Bible and in themselves but they don't want the Holy Spirit!
Jesus sent the Holy Spirit to guide us into all truth and the world cannot receive the Holy Spirit.  The Holy Spirit IS RESERVED TO THOSE WHO ARE BORN AGAIN AND WHO WANT THE GUIDANCE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, those who seek  the Holy Spirit. He is not going to force Himself on you, YOU NEED TO SEEK HIM, you need to seek the Holy Spirit and you need to seek the guidance of  the Holy Spirit. You need to pray and WAIT on Him, TRUST Him, and He will guide you. But it is only for those who BELIEVE, without faith it is impossible to please God. If you don't trust God, don't pray, don't ask, you won't receive. 
Many believers are worried that God will give them an evil spirit or deceive them. Don't even pray, don't pray just don't bother asking God (if that is your attitude), just don't call yourself a follower of Jesus! You are following your own mind and you don't trust in God. 
But for those who BELIEVE  in Jesus, who trust Him with their life, He sent the Holy Spirit, THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH to guide them into all truth. We read in John 14:16 Jesus said: “And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may be with you forever; 17that is THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH, WHOM THE WORLD CANNOT RECEIVE, BECAUSE IT DOES NOT BEHOLD HIM OR KNOW HIM, but you know Him because He abides with you, and WILL BE IN YOU.” He is talking to His disciples, because they WANT the Holy Spirit, but many believers don't want the Holy Spirit. We also read in  John 14:26 Jesus said:”But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, HE WILL TEACH YOU ALL THINGS, and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you.”
People say:”Well, you know if I don't have a teacher to teach me and I do not have a Bible, how will I know what is right?” There are many churches in the world and the USE THE BIBLE TO DECEIVE PEOPLE. They are leaning on their own understanding. They don't have the Spirit of Truth NEITHER DO THEY WANT THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH, THEY LOVE LIES! And there are many people running after them because they also love lies. They don't want the truth, they don't trust God. If you don't trust God, don't ask Him for anything, He won't give you anything! He sent us the Spirit of Truth because He cares for us but if you don't trust Him, you will not follow Him. 
We read in John 16:13 “But WHEN HE, THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH, COMES, HE WILL GUIDE YOU INTO ALL THE TRUTH; for He will not speak on His own initiative, but whatever He hears, He will speak; and HE WILL DISCLOSE TO YOU WHAT IS TO COME. 14“ He shall glorify Me; for He shall take of Mine, and shall disclose it to you. 15“ All things that the Father has are Mine; therefore I said, that He takes of Mine, and will disclose it to you.”
Have you received the Holy Spirit? Have you received the Spirit of Truth? Is He dwelling in you? Do you ask Him for guidance? Do you pray and trust Him and WAIT on Him? Or are you wise in your own mind? Don't you need the Spirit of Truth? You will find your own way,(you think?) because you know the scriptures, and because you have got a “good church?” Do you know better than God? 
Jesus sent the Holy Spirit to those who TRUST Him, who humble themselves before Him and who WAIT on Him for HIS WILL TO BE DONE, not their own. Have you received the Holy Spirit? Are you led by the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Truth, or are you in darkness?
May Jesus bless you.

Don't Become a Zombie Victim


The recent zombie attack on a homeless man in Florida, where his face was chewed off by a person who went berserk, should not come as a surprise. That person who attacked that homeless man was demon possessed. People are opening themselves to demon possession and when the demon takes possession of you, then you have no control over what you are doing but if you open yourself to demons then they will come in and they will control you.
The whole world is opening itself to demon possession through drug abuse, through the media, through watching harry potter movies, xbox, war games you name it. The movies, all of these things are entering into people’s minds  and it grabs a hold of them and they are doing things that they otherwise would not do, rage, murder. If you do not guard your soul, your spirit, then these evil forces will come into your spirit and take a hold of you and they will destroy you. People don’t realize what they are playing with.
This zombie mania is spreading all over the world and it is even spreading to schools. They are playing with these demons in schools and they have zombie themed disaster trained exercises such a one was recently held at a Martinsburg South Middle School. I post a link to the article just below this video. Martinsburg South Middle School overrun by “Walking Dead. “More than 140 people volunteered at Berkeley County Health Department's zombie-themed, disaster-training exercise. Splotched with fake blood, green and white paint and torn clothes, friends Sean Shearer and Jacob Pauley say they dress in costume every chance they get. But the “Zombie Attack” Friday at Martinsburg South Middle School was no ordinary opportunity. They were among more than 140 people to be screened in the first 20 minutes of the Berkeley County Health Department’s zombie-themed, disaster-training exercise. About one third of the people screened were first responders who then treated the gorily-dressed volunteers who took part in the emergency drill, organizers said. In Friday’s scenario, those who were screened were then INOCULATED and MEDICATED for their zombie symptoms.  (WITH WHAT?  With what were they inoculated?) They were directed to complete a form that questioned if they or another person with them had been SCRATCHED or BITTEN within the past 24 hours. They also were asked about open sores/wounds, recent skin loss and strange behavior like stuttering, drooling, walking oddly, moaning or a “really bad hair day.” People are obviously into the zombie thing now, said one of the officials. At the end of the Friday’s exercise, PRIZES were awarded for best dressed zombie, zombie couple, best zombie walk, best zombie wail and most original zombie, among other categories. Brittany Collis of Martinsburg was dubbed most original zombie after she SPIT FAKE BLOOD while walking past an informal group of judges. Collis along with friends, spun a quick tale about how they became zombies after they were  “inoculated” by first responders with a sticker and receiving candy that symbolized medication. Yancey said she turned into a zombie after being attacked by multiple zombies, who bit her face while playing in a softball game."
   Friends this is not a game, this is serious. Demons are taking over people and they will destroy them. It is not a game. You might be attacked, you might be the next person who is attacked by a zombie. You might be demon possessed, if you do not guard yourself. You need to spiritually guard yourself or else you can be a victim, your children can be victims.
 People  need to wake up. We have no defense against the devil but the Spirit of God, the Holy Spirit. And if you are not a child of God and you do not have the Spirit of God, you have no defense, absolutely no defense. It is the forces of darkness against the forces of  Light and if you do not have the Spirit of Christ in you, you will be a victim. The only way that you can defend yourself, that you can wage this war and survive, is if you submit yourself to Jesus. You turn away from sin and you accept Jesus as your Lord and you ask Him to give you His holy Spirit to be in you. It is only the Holy Spirit of God that has any power against the forces of darkness.
But even believers and Christians indulge in harry potter in Halloween in the occult. They watch all these movies and they play with all these things and they don’t realize that they are going to get demon possessed. This is not a joke friends. Are you prepared? Will you be able to defend yourself? You cannot just defend yourself with a gun, you are not carrying guns and you don’t want to kill anybody? If somebody attacks your child, in a shop in a school; What are you going to do? You need to have the protection of the Holy Spirit in you. You need to teach your child to have Jesus in his heart or else your child will have no defense against the devil. Even Christians don’t have any defense. They are deceived and they are playing with all these things. Dear friends, it is time to get serious, no more time to mess around. Either you are on God side or you are on satan side. Either you have Jesus in you or you become a victim.
Are you going to be a victim or are you going to wake up and realize that this war, this struggle is not against flesh and blood but it is against evil forces and principalities. Either you submit yourself to God or you are going to go down with the evil forces of darkness. Either you come under the protection of  God, or the devil is going to destroy  you because that is what the devil is doing. He is out like a roaring lion to seek and to find what he can destroy. Do you have any defense? Do you have Jesus inside? Are you walking with Jesus? Do you have the Holy Spirit of God? Will you survive or will the devil destroy you? There is no inoculation that will work. There is no special formula that will work. Either you have the Spirit of God in you or the devil is going to get you. It is serious times friends. Don’t play with these things. Don’t invite the devil in. Get rid of all these things out  of your house. Don’t bring the TV into your house, because it is in the TV, it is in the movies it is in all these xboxes, it is in all these video games that the children play, that you buy for them. You are bringing the devil into your house and you are going to be the victim. It is time to choose, either you choose Jesus and freedom and deliverance or you are going to go down with the devil. These are the last days. There is no more time to mess around. Are you prepared for what is coming?
May Jesus bless you.

The ways of the World lead to Hell


The kingdom of God is about God, it is not about US. It is about fitting into HIS Kingdom and doing things HIS way or else there is no way that anyone will go in there. Jesus came and He showed us the way, and He called many but very few have answered to the call. Many who have answered think that they can follow Him THEIR WAY, they can fit God into THEIR life, they will choose THEIR version of the Bible and THEIR church and they will serve God THEIR way. You are only serving yourself!
If you follow Jesus, you follow HIS WAY, you deny yourself, you pick up your cross and you follow Him His way. There is only ONE WAY and that is: REPENT, turn away from your SELF, stop serving yourself and get your focus on God and on obeying Him. STOP SINNING, REPENT, OBEY JESUS, BE BAPTIZED IN WATER and then SEEK for the BAPTISM IN THE HOLY SPIRIT, and He will baptize you in the Holy Spirit so that you can HEAR HIS VOICE and FOLLOW HIM, and serve Him HIS WAY. He is not interested in your little sacrifices, the way that you want to serve Him, the things that you will give Him. Some people think if they give ten percent and they go to church, that is fine, they have done their dues. God is not interested in what we want to give Him. Either you follow Him His way or it is NO WAY.
There is only one way to please God and that is through UTTER OBEDIENCE, UTTER DEDICATION to Him. You WILL obey Jesus! You WILL be baptized in water! You WILL seek the baptism in the Holy Spirit and you WILL FOLLOW the guidance of the Holy Spirit or else YOU WILL NOT BE PLEASING TO GOD. The ways of the world are not acceptable to God, He is not interested in it. It is either GOD'S WAY or it is NO WAY!
If you want eternal life, bow down before Jesus, submit to Him, accept Him as LORD and KING and OBEY HIM and SERVE Him HIS WAY because HIS WAY IS THE ONLY WAY! Jesus Christ is the Way and the Truth and the Life, there is NO OTHER. Go and read HIS WORDS in the gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John and take them seriously because those are the words by which we will be judged. Those are the words of the Father and there will be NO DEVIATION. Its either GOD'S WAY or its NO WAY.
May Jesus bless you.

Winning the battle ALL THE TIME

All physical battles are lost or won in the Spirit because that which happens in the Spirit plays out in the physical. The child of God is equipped to win these spiritual battles IF he makes use of the weapons of the Spirit that God makes available to him. 
Paul writes in 2Corinthians 10:3-6 "For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh, 4for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses. 5We are destroying speculations and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ, 6and we are ready to punish all disobedience, whenever your obedience is complete."
  This whole world is in the power of evil forces and we can only overcome and have victory if we have become OBEDIENT TO JESUS because it is evil forces against the power of God. We are no match for the evil one in our own power but if we submit to Jesus then we can overcome. And we can only submit to Jesus if we are led by the Holy Spirit, by the Spirit of God. That is why these weapons of warfare are only available to the children of God. And they only overcome when they become OBEDIENT TO JESUS. 
Many children of God fight their own battles and that is why they lose all the time. The devil is out to get your soul, he is out to destroy you. He is planning and he is scheming and you are powerless against him because you don’t even know what he is doing. But the Spirit of God knows everything. And if you submit yourself to God and you are led by the Holy Spirit then He will lead you and He will guide you and HE will give you the victory, you will overcome. Whether it be bringing up your child or other conflicts in life. If you are on your own, you will be defeated. Psychology cannot help you, only the POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT will make you overcome IF you SUBMIT yourself to God. We read in James 1:5 “If any man needs wisdom let him ask of God, who gives to all men freely.” But people are not interested in that. They fight their own battles and they are defeated. 
The wisdom of God destroys every plan of the enemy. The choice is ours whether we want to fight our own battles and be defeated or weather we submit to God. We pray and we trust Him and become totally obedient to HIM and then we will overcome because then we are not battling according to the flesh but according to the Spirit of God. Do you want to overcome? Submit yourself to God. The battle is His, not yours, but if you take it on yourself you are bound to be defeated. 
May Jesus bless you.

It is not too late yet


Last night I woke up and the Holy Spirit said to me that many were called but few have answered the call. It is not too late yet if you have been called because the calling and the gifts of God are irrevocable, He does not take them back. When Jesus has called you, he called you with a purpose. He knew all along what you are and what you do and what you would be. He also knew your weaknesses. Maybe you have gone astray, maybe you were side tracked. Maybe you were deceived by church and then later became disillusioned and realized that you never fulfilled your calling.
It is not too late yet to harken to the call because maybe now, after you have realized your own failures and shortcomings you are ready to be used by Him. He will not shun you, He will not chase you away. He is waiting for you. He will not reject you as we read in Matthew 12:20 “A BATTERED REED HE WILL NOT BREAK OFF, AND A SMOLDERING WICK HE WILL NOT PUT OUT, UNTIL HE LEADS JUSTICE TO VICTORY. 21“ AND IN HIS NAME THE GENTILES WILL HOPE.”
Jesus came to save, to restore and it is not dependent on our abilities, how good we are, but it is His mercy and grace and often we need to be broken first, broken vessels that realize our own weaknesses before we will totally yield to Jesus.
It does not matter how you start the race, what really matters is how you finish it. Many have started and they have fallen out. What really matters is: How will you end this race? Jesus called you. How are you going to end this race? He is waiting for you. He will not reject you. He knows what you are, but He will use what you are for His glory IF YOU HARKEN TO THE CALL. It is not too late yet friend! Go back to Jesus and make sure that you run the last stretch of the race with utter endurance and you will win the prize! It's not too late!
May Jesus bless you.

Where is your heart?


If you are a born again child of God then your mind will always be busy with Jesus, your Lord, and with God, your Father. You will be seeking to be pleasing to Jesus all the time. Jesus said:”Where your treasure is, there your heart will also be.”
What are you thinking about all day? What is on your mind? Where is your heart? Is it with Jesus or with the world and the things of the world? If we love the world and the things of the world then the love of the Father cannot be in us. God knows our hearts and He judges our intentions, we cannot fool Him. Where is your heart?
May Jesus bless you.

The whole world is duped


This whole world is in the power of the forces of darkness and these evil forces operate through people who force their own agendas on other people. They lie, they deceive, they control, they manipulate and they use other people for their own benefit.
These are spiritual forces, forces of darkness. Our struggle is not against flesh and blood but against evil forces in the air, principalities that control this world. The only way to escape the deception and the bondage is if you become a child of God. You become a child of God by accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and Master, by believing in Him, submitting yourself to Him and obeying Him and then He gives you the new birth, you are spiritually born of God when you meet with Jesus. He awakens your spirit so that you can spiritually perceive and if you follow Him, He gives you the Holy Spirit who will guide you into all truth and give you victory over the evil forces. On your own you cannot do anything. That is why people know what is right but they cannot do it. They are in the power of the evil one. They are in bondage. You only get free when Jesus sets you free and He gives you the power over the evil one, as long as you submit yourself to Him.
Do you want to be free? Do you want to get out from under deception, from being duped all the time? Then you need Jesus. You need to be born again so that you can fight this spiritual warfare through the Spirit of God who comes and dwells in you but first you need to accept Jesus into your life, so that you can be born again, born of the Spirit, become a child of God, become spiritually alive and then you can overcome the devil, by the POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT that dwells in the children of God.
You need Jesus to overcome, or else you will perish. You cannot overcome and enter the Kingdom of God if you are not born again; born again of water and of the Spirit of God. Repent, turn away from sin, be baptized in water. Ask Jesus for the new birth and then ask Him for His Holy Spirit to come and dwell in you to guide you, and you must follow Him, stay with Him and He will guide you into victory.
May Jesus bless you.

God severely disciplines His children


We live in a world that rejects discipline and correction. If a parent disciplines his child then he is arrested for felony child abuse and battery. A child cannot grow up without discipline and that is why God disciplines His children and He disciplines them severely because He wants to correct them.
It sometimes takes severe discipline for a child to change his ways and God knows how to deal with His children. We read in Hebrews 12:5-10 “Have you forgotten the exhortation which is addressed to you as sons, MY SON, DO NOT REGARD LIGHTLY THE DISCIPLINE OF THE LORD, NOR FAINT WHEN YOU ARE REPROVED BY HIM; 6 FOR THOSE WHOM THE LORD LOVES HE DISCIPLINES, AND HE SCOURGES EVERY SON WHOM HE RECEIVES. 7 It is for discipline that you endure; God deals with you as with sons; for what son is there whom his father does not discipline? 8 For if you are without discipline, of which all have become partakers, then you are illegitimate children and not sons. 9 Furthermore, we had earthly fathers to discipline us, and we respected them; shall we not much rather be subject to the Father of spirits, and live? 10 For they disciplined us for a short time as seemed best to them, but He disciplines us for our good, that we may share His holiness.”
If you want to have eternal life and be a child of God, you must submit yourself to the discipline of God and He will get you right. He will discipline you until your behavior is changed so that you can be holy. Many believers never stop sinning, they never change their ways. They will not enter the Kingdom of Heaven because they do not SUBMIT themselves to the discipline of the Father.
In olden days the shepherds had a special way to treat a runaway sheep, one that always strayed. They would take him and break his leg and then they would fix up his leg but by the time that that leg grew back on, then that sheep would have learned not to stray because while his leg was healing he could not run away. If you accept Jesus as your Lord and God as your Father, He will discipline you and He might just break your leg because He cares for you. Many believers have "broken legs," many of them are being disciplined by God and they do not understand it. Many of them reject the discipline of God. Instead of going on their knees and say "Father what are You telling me? Why is everything in my life going wrong? They go to the doctors, they go to other people for help and they don’t learn, they don’t realize that God is disciplining them for their unholiness, for their disobedience. If you want to be a child of God, call yourself a Christian, God will discipline you. If you do not mend your ways, you will end up in hell but God is a good Father and He treats His own children severely because He disciplines them for their own good so that they can share in His holiness. Maybe God’s Hand of discipline and chastisement is on you, dear friend and you have failed to see it all along. Get on your knees, submit yourself to the Father, accept His discipline and He will change you into an obedient child.
May Jesus bless you.
