FAITHLESS Believers - Lost Generation
The Holy Spirit spoke to me about FAITHLESS BELIEVERS. This generation of BELIEVERS do not really believe, they do not have faith in God. They are ACADEMICS, they KNOW the SCRIPTURES but they DO NOT KNOW GOD. They do not have a testimony of what God has done in their life because HE is NOT REAL to them. They do not follow Jesus day to day and they do not have faith.
As Jesus also said that it WOULD BE in these days before His coming. I read from Luke 18:7 “now shall not God bring about justice for His elect, who cry to Him day and night, and will He delay long over them? 8“I tell you that He will bring about justice for them speedily. However, when the Son of Man comes, WILL HE FIND FAITH on the earth?” The children of God cannot pray anymore. They have their own resources, they look onto other people, they look onto the government but they do not look to God, because they DON’T KNOW HIM, they DON’T HAVE FAITH IN GOD. They WILL NOT keep on praying and praying until they get an answer. They don’t believe, they do not really believe, they do not really have faith. We get to know Jesus when we SEEK HIM, when we OBEY HIM and when we PERSISTANTLY SEEK HIM. Jesus said, I read from John 14:21“He who has My commandments and KEEPS them, he it is who loves Me; and he who loves Me shall be loved by My Father, and I will love him, and WILL DISCLOSE MYSELF TO HIM.”
The reason why believers do not have a revelation of GOD, why they do not know Jesus is because they DO NOT OBEY JESUS and they DO NOT TRUST HIM and therefore they DO NOT RECEIVE REVELATION from Him. He said if we LOVE HIM we will OBEY HIS COMMANDMENTS. We will OBEY what HE SAID. We will OBEY what HIS HOLY SPIRIT TELLS us TO DO and THEN HIM and the FATHER will come and live with us and HE will DISCLOSE HIMSELF TO US. We will get to KNOW HIM, we will get to experience the power of God.
Jesus said that for those who BELIEVE these SIGNS SHALL FOLLOW. We read from Mark 16:15 “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 are the signs that will follow for those who have BELIEVED, for those who truly have FAITH because they have OBEYED.
Many people BELIEVE IN JESUS, the devil also believes in Jesus but he does not obey Him and neither is he saved, neither does he have any hope of salvation, just like the majority of BELIEVERS. They BELIEVE IN JESUS but their FAITH is of NO BENEFIT to them BECAUSE they DO NOT REALLY BELIEVE. They DO NOT OBEY JESUS, He has not come to live with them and they are NOT RECEIVING REVELATION OF HIM. Jesus Christ is NOT REVEALED IN and THROUGH THEM because HE IS NOT IN THEM. They DO NOT KNOW HIM. This generation DOES NOT HAVE FAITH. It is a FAITHLESS generation.
DO YOU HAVE FAITH IN JESUS? Is the POWER OF GOD MANIFESTED THROUGH you or is your FAITH just TALK. Is it just ACADEMIC? Is it just BIBLE KNOWLEDGE or is the POWER OF GOD working THROUGH you BECAUSE you BELIEVE? Because you PERSISTANTLY PRAY and SEEK the FACE OF GOD and the POWER OF GOD DWELLS IN YOU? The fault does not lie with God dear friends. The reason that this generation of believers are POWERLESS is because they DO NOT HAVE FAITH IN GOD. They DO NOT REALLY BELIEVE, NEITHER DO THEY HAVE SALVATION. DO YOU REALLY BELIEVE IN JESUS? DO YOU HAVE FAITH IN GOD?
May Jesus bless you.

Pornography is SIN
WATCHING
PORNOGRAPHY is SIN and it will cause you to END UP IN HELL.
I want to remind you of the WORDS OF JESUS in Matthew 5:27-28
He says: “You have heard that it is said You shall NOT COMMIT ADULTERY but I say to you, that everyone who LOOKS AT A WOMAN to LUST for her has COMMITTED ADULTERY with her
I want to remind you of the WORDS OF JESUS in Matthew 5:27-28
He says: “You have heard that it is said You shall NOT COMMIT ADULTERY but I say to you, that everyone who LOOKS AT A WOMAN to LUST for her has COMMITTED ADULTERY with her
already in his heart and if your right
eye makes you STUMBLE, TEAR IT OUT and THROW it from you. It is
better for you that one of the parts of your body PERISH, than for
your whole body to be
THROWN INTO HELL.”
If you watch pornography and you look at that woman in that video then you are LUSTING after her.
You have ALREADY COMMITTED ADULTERY WITH HER in your HEART. It is better for you to
If you watch pornography and you look at that woman in that video then you are LUSTING after her.
You have ALREADY COMMITTED ADULTERY WITH HER in your HEART. It is better for you to
PLUCK OUT YOUR EYE than for your whole
body to END UP IN HELL, those are the WORDS OF JESUS.
There are many Christians who have debate about HELL. BELIEVE the WORDS OF JESUS, HELL is REAL. Jesus knows If there is One person who preached more about HELL than anybody else it is JESUS. It is not the will of God that any man would PERISH it is not His will that you END UP IN HELL but you have the CHOICE. It is the WILL OF GOD that you REPENT from your SINS and LIVE. But if you watch pornography you are an ADULTERER and you will CERTAINLY END UP

Information Bombardment! What is truth?
Never in the history of mankind has
there been as much information available in the world. We are
bombarded through the media with information, disinformation,
propaganda, brainwashing, lies, deception, advertising, you name
it...
It is virtually impossible to find out
the truth amongst all of this data that you are bombarded with. The
question that we are faced with is: What is important, what is truth
and what should I act upon? There is only one person who can tell you
that and that is Jesus Christ. He alone is the true Light of the
world.
There are many voices going up,
everybody has an OPINION to express, but only Jesus knows the real
truth. He is the true Light of the world. If we trust in man we will
certainly be deceived. People say to you:”I love you.” but you
don't know if they are lying to you. The only way that you can know
the truth is if you hear that truth from Jesus.
Jesus is GOD WITH US. Jesus is the
Light of the world and unless we follow HIM we will be in darkness.
Those who follow Him and LISTEN to Him will never be in darkness.
Jesus is ALIVE, He is GOD ALMIGHTY, He cares for us and He wants to
guide us through all of this deception into truth. Even churches lie
and deceive and manipulate people for their own benefit. The only one
whom you can trust is Jesus Christ, Himself.
Jesus sent the SPIRIT OF TRUTH, the
Holy Spirit, to come and live IN those who accept Him as Lord and
Master, who REPENT, who turn away from SIN and from trusting in
themselves and in people and who wholly, totally trust in Him. He
guides those people by His Holy Spirit, but you need to REPENT. You
need to TURN AWAY FROM SIN AND WICKEDNESS and you must TOTALLY ACCEPT
JESUS as your LORD and MASTER. There are no half measures with Jesus.
It is either JESUS and you TRUST Him and you FOLLOW Him or you will
be in darkness. You will be deceived. You will be exploited and you
will be destroyed. The only one who cares for your soul is Jesus
Himself.
If you accept Jesus as your Lord and
your Master, you repent of sin, repent of trusting in other people
and repent of trusting in yourself and you TOTALLY TRUST IN HIM, OBEY
HIM and FOLLOW Him, be baptized in water for the forgiveness of your
sin, then He promised to give us the Holy Spirit to come and dwell in
us to guide us every step of the way. That is the SPIRIT OF TRUTH
that He sent to guide those who believe in Him, who trust Him and who
follow Him. He promised that the Holy Spirit will guide us into the
whole truth. Those who are led by the Spirit of God they are the sons
of God (Romans 8:14).
If we trust in anybody or anything
other than Jesus WE WILL BE DECEIVED. If you trust in your own
insight of the Bible you will be deceived. There are many so called
prophets who tell you a new story every day, who predict what is
going to happen. If you listen to them you will be deceived. The only
One who can tell you the truth is Jesus because He is the true Light
of the world, TRUST IN NO MAN, trust in Jesus alone!
Have you accepted Jesus as your Light?
Do you put your trust in HIM and follow Him only, or do you trust
what you hear in the media? Do you trust what some other prophet or
preacher tells you? YOU WILL BE DECEIVED! You are in darkness if you
do not follow Jesus. Jesus Christ alone is the LIGHT OF THE WORLD.
Jesus Christ alone can guide us into TRUTH.
Have you decided to follow Jesus? Do
you trust Him and follow Him or are you in darkness?
May Jesus bless you.

Build the Walls - Don't just sit!
The church, the Body of Christ is
ALIVE, it is VIBRANT, it is not a building. We are the church, we are
the Body of Christ, built up of LIVING stones through which the light
of Christ shines and we must BUILD THE WALLS of the Kingdom of God,
with LIVING STONES, others whom we have brought to Jesus, who have
become alive, so that they also become Living Stones in that mighty
temple of God in which He dwells.
We are not called to build churches
with graveyards. We are not called to build buildings, we are called
to build the Walls of the Kingdom of God. Jesus said:”You will be
My WITNESSES.” If we belong to Christ and we are part of the Body
of Christ then we are witnesses. The light of Jesus shines through
us, we are LIVING STONES. We do not sit in pews, we go out into this
world and we testify, we lay the hands on the sick and they will
recover. We preach the gospel of Jesus Christ and we baptize those
who believe and He fills them with His POWER, with the Holy Spirit
Power and they themselves go out in the power of the Holy Spirit,
they lay their hands on the sick and they recover. These signs will
follow those who have believed, they will speak in new tongues, they
will lay their hands on the sick and they will recover. That is the
gospel of Jesus Christ, THE GOSPEL OF POWER!
If that power does not live in us then
Jesus is not in us. We need to go out and witness. Switch of the TV
and rise up, go outside, put on a t-shirt that proclaims Jesus
Christ. Go walk in the Mall, go walk in the street, go draw the line.
Go show that Jesus is alive and that He lives in us. If we do not
witness for Jesus then we are not of him. If we deny Him in front of
this wicked generation then He will deny us in front of His heavenly
Father. If we are not building we are breaking down. If we are not
gathering we are scattering. Are you building the walls of the
Kingdom of God? Or are you sitting in front of a TV? Are you sitting
in a church and listening to a dead message? Or are you a living
stone, going out into this world and proclaiming Jesus Christ, just
being a witness, showing the world that Jesus is alive and that He
lives in you?
If you don't have a t-shirt that you
can put on and go out and show the world that you belong to Jesus and
that Jesus is alive, then contact me
http://www.finalcall07.com/p/t-shirts-available.html
My details are in the description box
below this video. I will send you a t-shirt FREE OF CHARGE so that
you can go out and go and witness for Jesus Christ. Don't just sit
around, build the walls of the Kingdom of God. Jesus is coming! What
will He find us doing. Will He find us sitting around doing nothing
or will He find us building the walls of the Kingdom of God?
May Jesus bless you.

Lying Preachers - Funeral Talk
I just saw a news headline about
Sylvester Stallone who recently lost his son to death, his son died
and now his sister also died of cancer. And then somebody said:”At
least now his sister is with his son in heaven.”
Many preachers lie to people who have
lost loved ones. They say that: “So-and-so, who has died, is now in
heaven. His struggle is over. He is now with Jesus.” But you know
for a fact that the person who died had nothing to do with Jesus! But
then people believe the preacher. He is a LIAR! How does he know
that? How can he say that? But he gives people false hope and they
believe it and they themselves don't prepare for eternity.
Some years ago I had a heart attack and
I died and I was serving Jesus, I was serious about Jesus but I found
myself on my way to hell and by His grace and mercy He gave me a
second chance. He let me come back because my works were not
completed. I was not DOING what Jesus wanted me to do. I was a
Christian but I was not FOLLOWING Jesus and OBEYING Him.
Jesus said very few people will get
into heaven. Narrow is the door and few there be that find it.
“Strive hard because many will try hard but not be able.” Don't
believe some lying preacher. How can that person know? Work out your
own salvation with fear and trembling and make sure that Jesus is
pleased with YOU, or else you might just end up in hell. Take your
eternal destination seriously. There is only one person who can help
you and that is Jesus.
Get on your knees now and cry out to
Him for mercy. Ask Him to accept you as a child of God and REPENT,
turn away from sin, OBEY Jesus, get baptized in water. Ask Him for
His Holy Spirit to come and dwell in you, to guide you into all truth
and HE WILL CONFIRM TO YOU WHETHER HE IS PLEASED WITH YOU. But don't
trust any person, any man, don't trust any lying preacher. TAKE YOUR
ETERNAL DESTINATION IN YOUR OWN HANDS. Speak to Jesus, right now!
May Jesus bless you.
Holiness is a CHOICE
Holiness is a CHOICE. Without holiness, no man shall see God. No sinners will come into the presence of God. To REPENT, turn away from sin and to follow Jesus and obey Him, that is a DECISION. You need to MAKE UP YOUR MIND to STOP SINNING, to stop going after the desires of your own flesh and to follow Jesus, to obey Him. It is entirely up to us, whether we want to do it or don’t want to do it. But it is a decision you have to make, it is a choice.
The wages of sin is DEATH. If you go on sinning, you will end up in hell. You need to make up your mind and make that choice to be holy, to set yourself aside for Jesus, for the Kingdom of God, to make yourself available to Him. It is your decision to go and watch television, to watch pornography, to do wrong things, it is a DECISION. People often make it difficult on themselves because they expose themselves to temptation. If you want to follow Jesus and you WANT to be holy you make it easy on yourself. You AVOID situations and circumstances that are temptation where you can fall into sin. You are very careful to stay away from temptation and you stay focused on Jesus. But you need to make up your mind. If YOU don’t decide to do it, you won’t do it. You need willpower and selfcontrol. If you don’t control yourself you will fall into temptation and Jesus said: "WATCH and PRAY that you do not fall into temptation because the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak." Our flesh is weak. If we give ourselves the chance, then we will fall into temptation but we must RUN AWAY FROM TEMPTATION. Rather DIE than sin, Jesus said: "If your eye makes you stumble pluck it out and throw it away from you, it is rather better to go through life maimed than to end up in hell with all your faculties." You need to decide that you want to be holy. You need to decide to follow Jesus and if you don’t make up your mind you won’t do it and you WILL end up in HELL.
Without holiness no man shall see God. It is not easy on anybody. Those who want to enter the Kingdom of Heaven will go there through temptation, through trials but ONLY OVERCOMERS who stood in temptation, only they will won the prize of life. You need to make up your mind. HOLINESS is a DECISION.
May Jesus bless you.
Do NOT Challenge God
Some people are foolish enough to
challenge God. The builders of the Titanic also said that not even
God can sink that ship and it went down on it's maiden voyage. God is
mighty but He reveals Himself to those who humbly seek Him. If we
draw closer to Him, He will draw closer to us. If we seek Him, we
will find Him. But if we challenge Him, we will be utterly
destroyed.
May Jesus bless you.

Bad Kids and Bullies will Burn in Hell
Bad kids and bullies will burn in hell
if they do not turn away being bad. God has prepared a place of
punishment for all those who are wicked, who are bad, who lie, who
cheat, who steal, who hurt other people, who kill other people. That
place of punishment is a fire that burns for ever and there are worms
in that place that eat the flesh of those people that are in that
place. That place is HELL.
All sinners who have not stopped
sinning and become obedient to Jesus will burn in hell for eternity.
Only Jesus can forgive our past sins and give us eternal life so that
we do not end up in hell. BAD KIDS AND THEIR PARENTS WILL END UP IN
HELL because their parents did not teach them about Jesus and did not
teach them to love others and to respect others.
Every person will be judged by his own
deeds, children and the parents. We will each receive reward, good or
bad, for what we have done. If we were wicked we will burn in hell.
We must come to Jesus and invite Him into our heart. He has written
His laws in our hearts so that we know what is good and what is not
good. WE HAVE NO EXCUSE. But if we do not listen to that soft voice
in our heart and obey Him and be good, we will end up in hell.
We need to invite Jesus into our hearts
and ask Him to forgive our sins and to make us children of God. He
will come and live in our heart and you will hear His soft voice
inside of you telling you right from wrong, but WE MUST LISTEN TO
THAT VOICE! If we are bad we will end up in hell. We must repent.
That means to TURN AWAY FROM WICKEDNESS and we must ask Jesus
forgiveness. Ask Him to forgive our sins and come and live in our
hearts and then we must listen to His soft voice in us all the time.
If we don't listen we will end up in that fiery furnace FOR EVER!
Little children also die. LITTLE CHILDREN ALSO GO TO HELL because
their parents did not warn them.
I am warning you today: BAD KIDS WILL
END UP IN HELL. Invite Jesus into your heart. Go on your knees and
pray. Say:
“Lord Jesus I am sorry for the sins
that I have done,
I am sorry for being a bad kid.
Please come into my heart and forgive
all my sins.
Make me a child of God, please
and help me every day,
to do what is right,
Please show me in my heart what to do
and I want to obey Thee,
so that I can have eternal life,
and be with Thee for ever.
Thank you Lord Jesus.”
We need Jesus in our heart. We must
LISTEN to Him then we will have eternal life.
Those who do not listen to Jesus and
obey Him, but who are BAD, THEY WILL END UP IN ETERNAL HELL, FOR
EVER.
May Jesus bless you.
Bad Children Will Inherit Nothing
Those who believe in Jesus Christ have
the hope of becoming children of God and inheriting eternal life and
the kingdom of God. Becoming sons of God makes them part of the
inheritance of the kingdom of God. We read in John 1:12 “But as
many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of
God, even to those who believe in His name,” But it is required of
us as children of God, to be faithful over the house of God, the
kingdom of God, that of which we have become a part.
If we become children of God we become
part of the household of God and we must be faithful to our Father
just as Jesus Christ our Lord Himself was faithful to the Father who
appointed Him, we have to be faithful.
We read in Hebrews 3:1 “Therefore,
holy brethren, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider Jesus, the
Apostle and High Priest of our confession. 2HE WAS FAITHFUL TO HIM
WHO APPOINTED HIM,” and verse 6 “but Christ was faithful as a Son
over His house whose house we are, IF we hold fast our confidence and
the boast of our hope firm until the end.” It is required of us
that we be faithful children of God, faithful ambassadors of the
kingdom of God.
You cannot be a part time servant of
the kingdom of God. You are either full time or you are not a child
of God. YOU ARE EITHER A CHILD OF GOD OR YOU ARE NOT, you are just a
fake! As a child of God we need to work as servants. Many believers
don't want to serve. They say:”I am a child, I don't work!” In
the house of God you WORK LIKE A SLAVE, LIKE A SERVANT, if you are a
child.
Paul wrote in Galatians 4:1 “Now I
say, as long as the heir is a child, he does not differ at all from a
slave although he is owner of everything.” So as a child he works
exactly the same as a servant and he proves himself to be faithful
over his Father's house. The prodigal son who squanders his Father's
property WILL NOT HAVE AN INHERITANCE. It is only the one who
faithfully serves his father and who builds his Father's house who
will have an inheritance. If we are children of God then we build the
Kingdom of God every day. We witness for Jesus every day, we wear the
brand.
Many people give up! They wear a Jesus
t-shirt one day or so and then they say:”Well people are not
listening, people are not taking notice.” YOU ARE WHAT YOU ARE! If
you are a child of God you are a child of God all the time, you are
not a child of God to impress people. You are a child of God because
you are faithful to your Father and you sow seed every day because
you are looking after your inheritance. If we are not faithful in
witnessing for the Lord every day, we are not children of God! It is
not another person's job to do it, it is not the preacher's job to do
it. If you are a child of God you are a full time representative of
the kingdom of God and if you do not represent the kingdom of God and
you do not build the kingdom of God then you are not a faithful son
and YOU WILL HAVE NO PART IN THE INHERITANCE and you will be thrown
out where there will be whining and gnashing of teeth.
We need to be faithful sons of God. Are
we faithful? Are you a faithful child of God? Are you looking after
your Father's house? Are you a faithful witness for the kingdom of
God? If not, then we will not have any inheritance. We need to prove
ourselves to be faithful children of God, faithful over His house if
we want to have part in that inheritance.

Servants Rights
Those who follow Jesus and have the hope of eternal life have been called to be servants of the Kingdom of God. Jesus Himself came to serve and not to be served. He said to His disciples that the greatest amongst you will be the servant of the others. A servant has no working hours. He is constantly at the hand of his Master, available to serve, day and night.
As followers of Jesus we willfully submit ourselves to the Master, day and night. We do His will, we speak His Words. We do not follow after our own initiatives but we follow His guidance. We work His plan. Many do not want to submit to Jesus, they do not want to serve Him as Lord and Master. If we do not want to serve Him, we are not part of the Kingdom of Heaven. We do not regard Him as King, as Lord, as Master. If we still have rights and preferences, we cannot be following Jesus. We cannot be seeking the Kingdom of God. We cannot be seeking to be pleasing to Jesus if we still want to express our own opinion and enforce ourselves. Then it is about us and not about Him. If we follow Jesus, we are constantly tuned into His Spirit, who lives in us and we receive our direction from Him and He will guide us, He will send us, He will use us. He will put His Words in your mouth. He will give you detailed instructions. It will play off in your mind because you are tuned in to Him. You are listening and you are seeking to be pleasing to Him. Those who follow Him will never be in darkness, they operate under direct guidance of the Holy Spirit because they seek to be pleasing to their Master. They are constantly tuned in to Him, they have the mind of Christ. They have become servants of the Master.
Have you become a servant of the Kingdom of God? Is Jesus your Master and are you seeking to CONSTANTLY be pleasing to Him? If we love Him, we will obey Him, we will follow Him and we will make ourselves available to Him, all the time. We will have the heart of a servant. Have you become a servant of the Kingdom of God? May Jesus bless you.

Religious Mindset vs Kingdom Mindset
Among those who profess to believe in
Jesus Christ there are sheep and sheep. There are sheep who listen to
the Shepherd's voice and follow Him and there are sheep who follow
other sheep.
The Children of the Kingdom, those who
know Jesus for real and who follow Him and OBEY Him, who know His
voice, they are filled with the Holy Spirit and they are guided by
the Holy Spirit. They have a Kingdom Mindset, their mind is set on
Jesus, their King, their Master and their Lord and they LISTEN to His
voice. Their life is determined by the guidance of the indwelling
Holy Spirit. They constantly seek the guidance of the Master, denying
themselves, picking up their cross and following Jesus every day.
They walk in the POWER of the Holy Spirit, because they are following
Jesus.
But there are others with a Religious
Mindset. They are led by their knowledge of the Bible and their
insight of the scriptures. They refer everything back to the
scriptures, they also believe that the Bible is the final authority
and they apply the scriptures to their preference. Their faith is
DEAD because they believe in the DEAD LETTER OF THE WORD, there is no
Spirit. They don't see the Kingdom of God. They are INTO the books,
INTO THE WORD, BUT THEY ARE NOT IN THE SPIRIT! They are not led by
the Spirit of God. They fumble in the dark while they run after every
new teaching and new interpretation of the scriptures, but they
never come to the truth because they have not come to Jesus, they are
not born again. They are the sheep who follow the lost sheep, the
blind leaders of the blind. They have a RELIGIOUS MINDSET, which is
dead.
Are you a Child of the Kingdom? Are you
filled with the Holy Spirit of God? Are you following Jesus Christ?
Is He a reality to you? Do you pray, trust Him, LISTEN and FOLLOW
Him? Or do you have a religious mindset? If you are born of God then
you have a kingdom Mindset, your mind is set on Christ and you are
constantly tuned in to the Holy Spirit of God who guides you into His
victory because Jesus is Lord, He is King, He is Master! He is your
King, then you have the Kingdom Mindset.
Are you just religious or are you
following the King, Jesus Christ?
May Jesus bless you.
Hell will be full of believers
Many people believe in Jesus but very
few follow Him. Jesus said:”If you wish to follow Me, deny
yourself, pick up your cross, every day, and come here, follow Me.”
He also said:”If you love Me, obey my commands, DO what I say.”
Jesus will say to many believers who
thought that they were saved:”Go away I never knew you, you who
work unrighteousness,” because they never followed Him, they never
obeyed Him.
Do YOU just believe in Jesus, or have
you actually started following Him?
May Jesus bless you.

Not more preachers and churches
This world does not need more preachers and more churches. What it needs is that those believers to whom Jesus is a REALITY, those in whom He lives, that they stand up and WITNESS for Jesus. Jesus said: "YOU WILL BE MY WITNESSES." If we belong to Jesus, then we witness for Him and if we are not willing to let our light shine for Him, then he is not living in us. Then we don’t have light in us.
There is a wonderful thing happening and that is that people are standing up. They are willing to draw the line, to stand up for Jesus. To wear a t-shirt that says: "Is your name written in the Book of Life?" If you wear a t-shirt with this message on it, you draw the line. You show that you are standing for Jesus. You show Who is inside of you and that you belong to HIM. You don’t belong to a church or to an organization, you belong to Jesus and you stand for righteousness and you yourself are concerned about your own situation with Him and you are following Jesus.
If we are not witnessing for Him, we cannot be of the Kingdom of God. We need to be witnesses. If we deny Jesus in front of this world, He will certainly deny us in front of His Heavenly Father. When a person walks behind you and he reads this message, then he knows there is eternal damnation and he must prepare. Is his name written in that Book of Life? If not, he will end up in the lake of fire. If you wear this message, you become the salt of the earth, the light of the world. You are bringing light into this world. You are making people think about eternity.
Are you willing to stand out for Jesus? Do you belong to Him? Are you willing to take a STAND? Dear friend, if you are willing to stand for Jesus and wear a t-shirt that says: "I belong to Jesus" then you are welcome to contact me on my website. I put the links on this video below and I will send you a t-shirt that you can wear, to testify to this world, to be light in this world, to do your duty as child of God, to let your light shine. (T-shirts available: http://www.finalcall07.com/p/t-shirts-available.html)
If we do not bear fruit, we will be cut off. Jesus called us to bear fruit and that our fruit would stay. If we do not witness for Jesus and if we do not stand for righteousness, we have no part in Him and our Name is not written in the Book of Life. Only those who stand for Jesus and who witness for Him, who have a TESTIMONY, only those have a HOPE OF SALVATION.
Are we part of the masses that are going into damnation? Or are we the light of the world and the salt of the earth that STANDS and that brings people, that saves people from damnation? We need to stand up and be counted. We need to set the mood, we need to draw the line, we need to show our colors. Will you stand for Jesus? Will you witness for Him?
May Jesus bless you.
No bragging rights
Many believers have a rotten attitude
towards the “unsaved” and towards other believers. They believe
that THEY are right and they are “saved” and all the others are
going to hell and they think that it is their right to look down on
other people and to call down the fire of God on the sinners. They
say:”God must destroy the sinners!”
I read from Luke 9:51 “And it came
about, when the days were approaching for His ascension, that He
resolutely set His face to go to Jerusalem; 52and He sent messengers
on ahead of Him. And they went, and entered a village of the
Samaritans, to make arrangements for Him. 53And they did not receive
Him, because He was journeying with His face toward Jerusalem. 54And
when His disciples James and John saw this, they said, “Lord, do
You want us to command fire to come down from heaven and consume
them?” 55But He turned and rebuked them, and said, “You do not
know what kind of spirit you are of; 56for the Son of Man did not
come to destroy men’s lives, but to save them.”
Jesus came to save and we must have
that same attitude. If we want to call down the wrath of God on the
world, what about your family that do not know Jesus? What about your
friends that are not right with God? Do you care for them? If we
don't have the love of Christ in us then we don't belong to Him.
Without love, we are nothing.
The love of Jesus must be in us. We
read in 1 John 9:3 “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. 10By 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.” Most believers
cannot see the sun shine on other people, on other believers. There
is rivalry between religious groups, they hate each other, the love
of Christ is not in them and by that THEY ARE PROVING THEY ARE SONS
OF THE DEVIL. They belong to that religious group, to that church,
they don't belong to Jesus! If Jesus is in our heart, it is not “Us
and them,” it is: “We are following Jesus.”
Either we belong to Jesus and we love
everybody else and we care for them, or we are sons of the devil. If
the love of Christ is not in us then we do not belong to Him. We
cannot look down on other people and then want to pick them up out of
the mud. We need to have compassion, because we are not saved YET. We
need to strive HARD to enter that narrow door. Jesus said:”Narrow
is the door and FEW there be that find it.” We have nothing to
boast about. We must work out our own salvation with fear and
trembling.
May Jesus bless you.

Spiritual Checkup
People are very concerned about their physical wellbeing and that is why they go for physical checkups with their doctor, but even more important than our physical wellbeing is our spiritual wellbeing. How is it going with your soul? Are you right with Jesus?
The only One who can tell you, your situation with Jesus is Jesus Himself. Does His Holy Spirit live in you and do you communicate with Him? Do you receive feedback from Him? How is your relationship with Jesus? If you don’t know Him, then you are spiritually dead but if you have accepted Jesus, have repented and you have been baptized in water and you have asked Him for the Holy Spirit to live in you, then you can have the indwelling Holy Spirit, the Spirit of God, in you that constantly tells you what your relationship is with Jesus, what your spiritual wellbeing is. We cannot just ASSUME, we cannot just BELIEVE everything is okay. We need to KNOW for sure. We need to have a SPIRITUAL CHECKUP all the time.
We can have that checkup. All we need to do is to PRAY and ask the Lord Jesus and say:"Lord are You pleased with me? Is there anything in my life that is not pleasing to Thee? Please show me!" and He will show you. Friend, do not assume because many people assume and Jesus said He will say to MANY people who THOUGHT that they were saved, He will say to them: "GO AWAY, I NEVER KNEW YOU, YOU WHO WORK UNRIGHTEOUSNESS." Those people never had a real relationship with Jesus. Many of them are preachers. Many of them know the Bible well. Some of them have been baptized in the Holy Spirit but they are NOT PRACTISING their relationship with Jesus.
When last have you had a spiritual checkup? Go on your knees and ask Jesus right now and He will let you know whether He is pleased with you or not.
May Jesus bless you.

Which church do you belong to?
Which church do you belong to? That is
a very important question. We read in Matthew 16:13. Jesus said to
His disciples: “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?” 14And
they said, “Some say John the Baptist; and others, Elijah; but
still others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.” 15He *said to
them, “But who do you say that I am?” 16And Simon Peter answered
and said, “Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.” 17And
Jesus answered and said to him, “Blessed are you, Simon Barjona,
because flesh and blood did not reveal this to you, but My Father who
is in heaven. 18“ And I also say to you that you are Peter, and
upon this rock I WILL BUILD MY CHURCH; and the gates of Hades shall
not overpower it.”
Note that Jesus said: “I will build
my church,” NOT MEN will build My church. Jesus Himself will build
His Body, the Body of Christ. It is those whom He has drawn unto
Himself and who follow Him. They are part of His Body, His Church, we
are His dwelling in which the Holy Spirit of God dwells. IT IS NOT A
HUMAN ORGANIZATION. IT IS THE BODY OF CHRIST IN WHICH HE DWELLS.
We read in Hebrews 3:6 “but Christ
was faithful as a Son over HIS HOUSE whose house WE ARE, IF we hold
fast our confidence and the boast of our hope firm until the end.”
Jesus is building HIS CHURCH, HIS BODY IN WHICH HE DWELLS. But men
are also building their churches the FAKE CHURCHES, their
organizations, that is NOT the Body of Christ! So we have the true
church, the Body of Christ in which the Spirit of God dwells and who
follow Jesus every day and we have the FAKE CHURCH, the ORGANIZATIONS
THAT ARE RUN BY MEN. Jesus is the Head of His Church, His Body. Every
individual member is led by the Holy Spirit. The FAKE CHURCHES ARE
RUN BY MEN.
Which church do YOU belong to? Do you
belong to Jesus or do you belong to some organization. No man can
serve two masters, he will either love the one and despise the other.
We are His house, His temple IF we hold on FIRMLY to the hope of our
salvation until the end, if we hold on to Jesus and follow Him every
day until the end. Which church do you belong to? The churches of
men, or are you the dwelling place of Jesus Christ Himself?
May Jesus bless you.

Are you Down, Out, Depressed?
When you are down, out, depressed,
rejected, there is only one person who really cares for you and who
can really help and that is Jesus. Jesus will never reject you, He
cares for you, He loves you and He will never let you down. He came
for the brokenhearted, he came to set the captives free, He came for
you.
If you feel that there is no more hope,
you have got nobody to turn to then it is time to turn to Jesus. Just
call out to Him. Just say:”Lord Jesus, I need you! Help me please!”
And He will come to you immediately. He will comfort you, He will
give you peace, He will give you joy and He will make you know that
you are loved because He loves you and He cares for you. He will put
a joy and a peace in your heart that you have never known, just
because you have called out to Him and you have said:”Lord Jesus,
help me please!”
If you call out to Jesus, He will come
to you immediately. He will rescue you, He will give you peace and
joy and happiness but then you must never turn away from Him again.
Love Him and obey Him and that peace and joy will stay with you. Turn
away from sin. Obey Jesus and His peace and His joy will stay in you.
Make Jesus your companion, He will live inside of you. You can talk
to Him all the time. He understands. Turn away from sin and
wickedness and seek to be pleasing to Jesus. He will show you in your
heart what is pleasing to Him, get baptized in water and then He will
give you His Holy Spirit to dwell in you, to live in you and you will
KNOW that the Spirit of the Living God is in you all the time. He
will never leave you. He will never forsake you, but you need to stay
with Him.
Are you down and out enough to give
Jesus a chance, to invite Him into your life? You will never be
disappointed! Call on Jesus NOW, from your heart and He will come in
and He will give you peace beyond all understanding. Call on Jesus
RIGHT NOW, just where you are and He will come to you.
May Jesus bless you.
Following the REAL Jesus
People sometimes ask me how I know that
it is the real Jesus that I am following and that it is not a
different Jesus. The Jesus that I follow is the Jesus of the Bible,
the Jesus who said; I read from Mark 16:15-18. He said: “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.”
That is the Jesus that I follow because
many of those signs have followed for me and they still do, every
day. My life is a miracle. The greatest miracle is that Jesus came
and lived in me and He changed me, I am not the person that I used to
be.
A tree is known by it's fruit. If we
belong to Jesus we will be like Him, we will be interested in the
Kingdom of God, not in our own affairs. Many people say they believe
in Jesus but you cannot see it from what they are, how they live, how
they talk. Their fruit does not show that they are children of God.
Our fruit will show whether we are real or not. The world will see
Jesus in us IF He is living in us. You cannot hide the light that is
in you and if there is no light in you then you are darkness, then
you fit into the world. If the world loves you then you are part of
the world but if the world hates you because of the Jesus that you
follow then you are following the right Jesus.
Get to KNOW the REAL JESUS and follow
Him and this world will reject you, they will hate you but you will
experience the POWER of the living God. You will KNOW Jesus FOR REAL.
May Jesus bless you.

WHY NO SIGNS? No signs, No Jesus!
The power of God works mightily through
those in whom Jesus dwells. That is the sign that Jesus is living in
you, if the power of God is manifested through us. Jesus promised
that certain signs would follow those who believed in Him. I read
from Mark 16:15-18 “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.”
We see that these signs did follow the
apostles and those who believed in Jesus when the apostles proclaimed
the gospel to them, these signs did follow. Now the question is: ARE
THESE SIGNS FOLLOWING US? Is the power of God manifested through us?
The question I need to ask myself is: IS THE POWER OF GOD MANIFESTED
THROUGH ME? IS JESUS DWELLING IN ME?
Paul was gathering firewood after he
had survived a ship wreck (Acts 28:1-10). A snake bit onto his hand
and these people on the island of Malta expected him to keel over
and die. He just shook the snake off in the fire and nothing happened
to him, and as result of that they believed in Jesus. Wherever the
apostles went, signs and wonders followed. Those who accepted Jesus
who were baptized in water, they started speaking in new tongues
because He gave them the gift of the Holy Spirit as He had promised.
They laid their hands on the sick and they were healed. The question
is: ARE THESE SIGNS FOLLOWING US, or are we just religious? IS THE
POWER OF GOD MANIFESTED THROUGH US? Have we got a testimony? Can the
world SEE Jesus is in you? And do they believe on the grounds of the
testimony of Christ that is VISIBLE IN YOU that Jesus is alive? IS
THE POWER OF GOD MANIFESTED IN US? If there is no power there is
something wrong because the kingdom of God is not words, it is POWER,
the power of God that is manifested through those in whom the Spirit
of God lives!
Does the Spirit of God live in YOU and
in Me? Because then He will be seen in us. We will bear the fruit and
the signs will follow!
May Jesus bless you.

What is sin?
The wages of sin is death. The
unrighteousness and ungodliness of men attracts the wrath of God and
it is because of sin, unrighteousness that the wrath of God comes on
the world and on people and nations, Now the question is often
asked: What is sin? All unrighteousness is sin. Immorality is sin.
Harming other people is sin, abortion is SIN, murder. Harming your
own body , suicide, it is sin. But there are other things that are
also sin.
Now if we should stop sinning
altogether, will we have eternal life? No. We will avert the wrath of
God but we will not have eternal life. Eternal life comes through
obedience to Jesus, accepting Him as Lord and OBEYING Him. We need to
REPENT, turn away from sin and from gratifying ourselves and we must
OBEY JESUS, do that which is pleasing to Him. We need to be baptized
in water for the washing off of our sins and then we must ask Him for
His Spirit to come and live in us, to guide us so that we can KNOW
what is pleasing to Him and that we can DO what is pleasing to Him.
Everything that is not pleasing to Him
becomes a sin in us even if those things are generally not accepted
as a sin. Any thing that makes a separation between me and Jesus is
SIN. Anything that is an idol that is more important to me than Jesus
is SIN. It is my relationship with Jesus that will determine whether
I will have eternal life or not. If I stop sinning altogether but I
do not OBEY Jesus and I don't care for Him then I will not have life.
If I am unfruitful, if I do not bear fruit of righteousness and
obedience to Jesus then I will get cut off and I will not have
eternal life. Eternal life is knowing God the Father through Jesus
and KNOWING Jesus, loving Him and OBEYING Him. Anything that is more
important than Jesus is SIN and separates me from Him and might cause
me to end up in damnation, it might cause me to be cut off.
Eternal life is knowing and obeying
Jesus Christ, being pleasing to Him. King David knew that. He
said:”Lord, let the words of my mouth and the meditations of my
heart be acceptable unto Thee, my God and my Redeemer.” It is about
being pleasing to God and we can only be pleasing to God IF we OBEY
Jesus. If we do not obey Him, if we do not repent and turn away from
our futile lifestyle, chasing after the desires of the flesh, living
in sin and unrighteousness, if we don't repent of them and accept
Jesus as Lord and obey Him, get baptized in water and seek His
indwelling Spirit, a close communion with Him, THEN WE DON'T HAVE
ETERNAL LIFE. Salvation depends on our relationship with Jesus, the
quality of our relationship with Jesus. Is there anything that is
more important to you and to me than Jesus and being pleasing to Him.
Do we really KNOW Him? He will say to many believers who cast out
demons, who were preaching the gospel and who thought that they were
doing good, He will say to them:”Go away I never knew you, you
workers of unrighteousness.” Why will He say that? Because they
were not in relationship with Him. They did not LISTEN to Him, they
did not FOLLOW Him, they did not LOVE Him and OBEY Him.
We need to be part of the Kingdom of
God. If we OBEY Jesus we become CHILDREN OF GOD. Those who believe in
Jesus have the POWER to become CHILDREN OF GOD. If you are a child of
God you OBEY God, you LIVE TO PLEASE HIM, you walk with God and you
follow Jesus. Anything that comes in between you and Jesus is a sin
that separates you from Him and from eternal life.
How is our relationship with Jesus? Are
we close with Jesus? Are we pleasing to Him? If His Holy Spirit is
dwelling in us He will immediately convict us if anything comes
between us and Him. We need CONSTANT CONFIRMATION from Jesus ALONE to
KNOW that we are pleasing to Him. Are we pleasing to Jesus or is
there SIN in our lives? Is there something that separates me from
Jesus?
May Jesus bless you.
Vessels of clay
God made us all equal. We are flesh and blood and we are made to be a temple of the Holy Spirit. We are made for Jesus to dwell in us, the Spirit of God to dwell in us. It all depends on whether we want to make ourselves available to Jesus or not.
Nobody is more special, more gifted, more talented, more equipped to be a disciple of Jesus, than the next person. It is a matter of: Are you making yourself available for Jesus? We are all vessels of clay. What is important is: What is inside of that vessel? Is Jesus inside? Or is the devil inside? Is there room for Jesus inside of you and me? If there is no room for Jesus, if that is not His holy dwelling place then there will be no room for us in the kingdom of heaven.
He made us for His glory. Are we making ourselves available to Him? Is the door open to Jesus alone? Or is there no space for Jesus? Who lives inside of YOU and me?
May Jesus bless you.

Will you wear Jesus?
Many believers will not wear a Jesus t-shirt, or a message with Jesus on it, warning people to repent, warning the world that Jesus is coming, to get ready; asking people whether their name is written in the Book of Life. They won’t wear it on their bodies because they are scared. They are worried about the reaction of other people.
Some people have asked me, what it is like to wear a t-shirt like that, like these ones that we wear all the time. "Jesus is coming are you ready?" On the back it says: "Jesus will say to many who believed that they were saved: Go away I never knew you. What will He say to you?"
What does it feel like to wear a t-shirt like that? To me it feels quite normal. There was a time that I was worried about wearing a t-shirt like that. But now, I feel that I am not properly clothed when I don’t wear a Jesus t-shirt. I feel like I am betraying Jesus and I am not taking every opportunity to warn people, to tell the world that Jesus is alive.
How do people react? Most people just say nothing. Some people will follow you around because they have maybe seen what is on the front and they saw that there is something on the back and they want to know what is written there. Once they get the message, they walk away, they disappear. The message was delivered. The seed has sown.
Have I had any negative reaction? In 4 years that I wear these t-shirts, twice. Were they violent? No. One was a poor atheist that tried to make a fool of me but actually he made a fool of himself. The other one was a muslim, I just said to him, "Jesus is Lord," man.
Dear friends, it is a privilege to wear a t-shirt for Jesus, there is nothing like it. You know that you are pleasing to God but you have to be right with JESUS before you put that t-shirt on because everybody is watching you. You got to watch your steps when you wear that t-shirt.
When you wear a cap that says: "Jesus is my Boss", then the world must see that Jesus is your Boss. The truth of the matter is, that Jesus said that: If we deny Him in front of this wicked generation, He will certainly deny us in front of His Heavenly Father and His holy angels. Many believers say that they will DIE for Jesus, they are willing to be MARTYRED for Jesus but they will not associate with Jesus, they will not wear a t-shirt.
Dear friend if we do not stand up for Jesus we will go down with this world, because the Kingdom of God is being established and either we are part of the Kingdom of God or we will be destroyed when Jesus comes and He destroys, He wipes flat all these worldly kingdoms.
Where is your heart? Is your heart with the Kingdom of God? Are you an ambassador for Jesus? Do you wear Jesus on your body or are you ashamed of Jesus?
If you are willing to stand out for Jesus, you can write me and I will send you a t-shirt that you can wear to testify for Jesus. It is free of charge, but please show your colors. Show that you belong to Jesus. Don’t be a coward, no cowards will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Stand up for Jesus and He will stand up for you.
May Jesus bless you.

Where shall we go?
The love of God is invasive, it invades
even the smallest part of our lives. Nothing is hidden in the sight
of God. The love of God wants to change us into the likeness of
Christ and therefor the love of God is often painful on us. It wants
to transform us and that transformation is often very painful. The
words of Jesus HURT US, they are painful to us, they often offend us
but those are the words of truth and if we obey those words we are
transformed into His likeness and we are pleasing to God. That is
what love is about.
Love is about ENDURING THE LOVE OF GOD.
The love of God is faithful to us and He will never leave us. His
love wants to work in us perfection but our love for Him works in us
TRUST IN GOD, ENDURANCE WITH HIS HANDLING OF US and with His
interference in our lives, His invasion of our privacy and our WANTS
and our LIKES and our OFFENCES because God has got to take out every
bit of resistance, every bit of the flesh has got to be broken down
so that we can come out as pure gold.
God allowed satan to treat Job
extremely harsh to the point where Job's wife said to him: “Curse
God and die, man!” We read in Job 2:9,10 “Then his wife said to
him, “Do you still hold fast your integrity? Curse God and die!”
But he said to her, “You speak as one of the foolish women speaks.
Shall we indeed accept good from God and not accept adversity?” In
all this Job did not sin with his lips.”
You see, we want to accept the good
from God but as soon as God starts disciplining us then we want to
run away. Then we say:”No, I can't handle this!” But God treats
us harshly, we learn through what we suffer and we will go through
suffering, and if we are men and women of God then we are the
oracles of God and we will often say things to other people, that are
harsh, because those are the words of God. We are not here to please
each other, to make each other feel good, WE ARE HERE TO SPEAK THE
WORDS OF GOD that will bring us closer to Him in our relationship
with the Father. That is what we are here for. We are not here to
make friends and influence people, we are here to bring people into
the presence of God. We are the oracles of God .
We must submit ourselves to the
discipline of the Holy Spirit so that we can do the will of God and
be pleasing to Him. Job submitted himself to the point where he said,
I read from Job 13:15 “Though He slay me, I will hope in Him.”
Though He slay me, though He kills me I will still hope in Him. Job
did not reject God, even in his suffering, in his predicament he did
not reject God, he did not curse God, his trust was still in God and
that is what God requires of us, that we SHOULD TRUST HIM. Our life
is in His hands, we belong to Him, no matter what happens to us, our
focus must be on the Father, on doing His will because He determines
our life.
The disciples were also offended at the
words of Jesus and Jesus will offend us also if we walk with Him,.
THE CLOSER WE WALK WITH CHRIST THE DEEPER HIS WORDS WILL CUT INTO OUR
LIVES, will invade us, will invade our privacy, our desires, because
Jesus said:”If you wish to follow Me, deny yourself, pick up your
cross and come here follow Me,” and He meant what He said. We read
in John 6:53 “Jesus therefore said to them, “Truly, truly, I say
to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His
blood, you have no life in yourselves. 54“ He who eats My flesh and
drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last
day. 55“ For My flesh is true food, and My blood is true drink. 56“
He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood abides in Me, and I in him.
57“ As the living Father sent Me, and I live because of the Father,
so he who eats Me, he also shall live because of Me. 58“ This is
the bread which came down out of heaven; not as the fathers ate, and
died, he who eats this bread shall live forever.”
Verse 60 Many therefore of His
disciples, when they heard this said, “This is a difficult
statement; who can listen to it?”
66 As a result of this many of His
disciples withdrew, and were not walking with Him anymore. 67Jesus
said therefore to the twelve, “You do not want to go away also, do
you?” 68Simon Peter answered Him, “LORD, TO WHOM SHALL WE GO? YOU
HAVE WORDS OF ETERNAL LIFE.”
Jesus is the BREAD OF LIFE, His words
CUT us. We have got to EAT that bread, it will go into us, it will
hurt us but it will transform us through our obedience to Christ, we
become children of the Kingdom of God, but if we do not submit to
God, if we do not endure we will not be suitable for the kingdom of
heaven and PEOPLE DON'T WANT THE WORDS OF CHRIST, THEY DON'T WANT THE
WORDS OF JESUS. It offends them, it makes them want to walk away.
Jesus is not begging us to follow Him. He said to Peter:”Don't you
also want to go?” He said “Lord, where will we go? You have the
words of eternal life.”
If we cannot accept the Word that comes
from God, then we are not worthy of Him. If we cannot eat the Bead of
Life we will not have life in us. If we reject the words of Jesus, we
reject Him. If we reject that which the Lord gives us through His
oracles, through His spokesmen, through those whom He sends to warn
us, to teach us His ways, then we reject the bread of life. We must
entrust our lives unto Christ and TRUST HIM and say:”Lord I am here
to do Your will.” Our only purpose must be to bring people to
Jesus. In the first place, ourselves, to walk with God to SUBMIT TO
HIM in everything and to BRING OTHERS INTO RELATIONSHIP WITH CHRIST,
INTO TOTAL OBEDIENCE TO HIM.
This is a hard word. Who can take it?
The words of Jesus are hard words, they cut into us. Peter
said:”LORD, WHERE CAN WE GO TO? YOU HAVE THE WORDS OF ETERNAL
LIFE.”
If we want LIFE we must STAY with the
WORDS OF JESUS and SUBMIT OURSELVES TOTALLY TO HIM. We must EAT THE
BREAD OF LIFE, the Words that come from Christ and then we will have
life in us.
May Jesus bless you.

T-shirts for Jesus - My Testimony
I want to share with you my t-shirt testimony. For some time now we have been wearing t-shirts with the Gospel message on them and it has proved to be very efficient in witnessing for Jesus. We hardly go out without a t-shirt on because every time you go out to the shops or to the mall or wherever you go, you put your t-shirt on with Jesus on it and you are witnessing, you are sowing seed and this is proved to be very efficient. Many people approach you and then they start asking you about Jesus, others get the message, the seed is sowed.
I have been making my own t-shirts and printing the words on them. I made stencils and then painted the words on them it is a tedious process. It takes you about half a day to make one t-shirt and then your stencil is destroyed so you cannot re-use it. Now many people have asked me for t-shirts like mine. Now obviously the way that I make them, there is no way that you can make t-shirts for other people. The Lord laid it on me to make these t-shirts available so that other people can also wear t-shirts, a message that will stir people and wake them up, because you don’t find messages like those in a t-shirt shops. They have the soft messages. So I investigated a method of printing these t-shirts in volume. So I explored screen printing and I bought the equipment, made a few blunders and eventually got the process right. But it is quite costly to get this started up and then to print these t-shirts. The other thing is that when you send these t-shirts out, the shipping cost is quite expensive. It is often two to three times the cost of the t-shirt. So if you pay four dollars for a t-shirt it can cost you more than twenty dollars depending on where you send it, especially if you are sending it overseas. So I made these t-shirts available and I put a price tag of eighteen dollars per t-shirt on them on my website and then all hell broke loose. People accused me of trying to make money out of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. They just don’t know the cost and all the work that is involved in doing this but in any case I said Lord, what must I do now. The Lord said to me: "Give them away, just give them away. Whoever wants it give it away." So I made these t-shirts available for free on my website. What is quite amazing is when I advertised these t-shirts at eighteen dollars a piece nobody ordered any, but when I said it is for free the orders came rolling in and we had to set up a shop and we couldn’t do manual printing I had to build a press because the volume was too big, but lo and behold it is for free. So we started printing these t-shirts and let me tell you when you stop at the postal services with a trunk full of t-shirts and they charge you two hundred dollars just for the shipping then you say:"Lord I am sending it for free but I don’t know for how long!" and the Lord said to me: "You send it for free," which we continued doing. I said Lord how long can I continue doing this and the Lord said:"I will supply." We kept on going and we started receiving testimonies of people who are wearing these t-shirts and the effect that it had. People were approaching them and how it assisted them in testifying, sowing seed for the Kingdom of God. I said:"Lord if this is the last thing I do, I want to continue doing this for your glory." But you know God is faithful and then the Lord started supplying. Some people heard the voice of the Lord and they contributed and we are so thankful to be able to continue this service. It is hard work. I can tell you it is not fun to print fifty t-shirts on both sides front and back and then to iron them and then to pack them and then to drive in to town to ship them, neither is it fun to drive twenty miles to town to go and buy t-shirts and we kind of wiped out Wal-Mart and Michaels because we bought so many t-shirts. But dear friends it is a wonderful privilege to know that these t-shirts are going out all over the world. We have sent many overseas, I think we have sent more overseas than locally in the US. If you send it overseas it is the best part of ten dollars just for shipping. Praise God He has provided so that we can continue to send these t-shirts and quite often those people who are WILLING to wear the message of Jesus on their body are those people who cannot afford to pay for the t-shirt. I want to tell you that God is faithful and we must just DO what He tells us to do and He will supply in all our needs for His Kingdom. It is not for us. It is for the Kingdom of God. For those who have contributed I want to say thank you very much and may Jesus bless you mightily. You are enabling us to enable others to sow seed for the Kingdom of God and for some others who do not have a t-shirt with Jesus on it. We are waiting for your order. We would like to print you a t-shirt and send it to you but please WEAR it for JESUS. GO TESTIFY because if we do not sow we will not reap. It is good to wear a t-shirt, it makes you stand out, it identifies you with Jesus. So if you are not ashamed to stand out for Jesus and let the whole world know that you belong to Jesus, you are most welcome to contact us for a t-shirt. My website details are on this video. It is all for Jesus. Will you wear Jesus, will you testify for Jesus?
May Jesus bless you.

NO TIME OUT - NO OBSTRUCTION - WORD FROM GOD
I received a serious Word from the Lord
Jesus this morning. He said to me:”THERE IS NO TIME FOR TIME OUT.”
For those who follow him, there is no time out. There is no time for
their own affairs, there is no time to go and sit on the side and see
what other people are doing. There is no time for gossip. He called
us for a purpose and we must carry out that purpose. We must deny
ourselves pick up our cross and follow Him every day. He called us
each for a task and we must complete that task.
Many believers are obstructing brothers
and sisters who are working for God, who are doing what the Lord is
telling them to do – GOD WILL TAKE THEM OUT because this is His
kingdom and nothing will stop His kingdom. We each need to be focused
on Jesus, doing that which He commands us to do today. There is no
time to interfere with each other, there is no time to keep ourselves
busy with our own affairs. You cannot serve two masters. You will
either love the one and hate the other. We are the house of God IF we
hold on to the hope of our salvation, firmly until the end.
If we are not focused on Jesus and
doing His will we are not suitable for his kingdom. We are His
dwelling place. If we reserve any time for ourselves, or any area of
our lives, if we have any idols, we are not suitable. He is not
begging us to follow Him. God is not a beggar. He doesn't need us. We
are not important. What is important is for me to do the will of God
and not to allow anything or anybody to obstruct me in doing what God
wants me to do and if somebody does GOD WILL TAKE THEM AWAY! This is
His kingdom. God is God, Jesus is Lord, we are here to serve Him we
are not here to make each other happy. We are not here to make
friends and influence people, WE ARE HERE TO BUILD THE KINGDOM OF
GOD. And if you and I are part of the kingdom of God then our only
business is the kingdom of God, being pleasing to Jesus, not
obstructing each other. Not gossiping, but helping each other,
praying for each other, bringing others unto Jesus. We are here to do
the work of God. THERE IS NO TIME FOR TIME OUT! It is time to work
for the kingdom of God. He has called WORKERS. He has called us,
Jesus has called us to WORK for His kingdom!
We are all team players in God's team
and if we do not each do our part HE WILL TAKE US OUT because God's
team is the winning team and His team will win. Let us take Him
seriously. Let us be serious and do the will of God and not allow
anything to distract us from what God wants us to do. Let us help the
other team players, let us enable them to BUILD the kingdom of God,
to WIN. That is what God called us for, to build His kingdom. It is
not about us, it is about the kingdom of God. It is about Jesus and
IT IS ABOUT DOING HIS WILL.
May Jesus bless you.

God's Gift To YOU
God's Gift to the world, to you and to
me is Jesus Christ, Emmanuel, God with us, the Spirit of Christ
dwelling in us IF we want to accept Him to live in us, for us to be
His holy temple. But most people don't want Him, MOST BELIEVERS DON'T
WANT JESUS. They don't want the Holy Spirit to live inside of them.
Jesus came and physically walked this
earth. His disciples followed Him. He is the good Shepherd and He
cares for His sheep. His sheep LISTEN to His voice and they FOLLOW
Him. When Jesus was crucified and died and resurrected He ascended to
heaven but He did not leave us as orphans. He did not leave us on our
own, He sent us His own Spirit, the Holy Spirit to come an live in us
to guide us every step of the way, but people don't want the Holy
Spirit. They reject Him.
Have you received the greatest Gift
that God has sent, Jesus Christ IN YOU? Have you received the Holy
Spirit, the Spirit of Christ? If you have not, REPENT AND BE
BAPTIZED, open your heart to Jesus and HE WILL BAPTIZE YOU WITH THE
HOLY SPIRIT. He will come and live in you and He Himself will give
you a tongue, a NEW TONGUE by which you can speak to God the Father.
Have you received your tongue? Have you received the Holy Spirit of
Christ in you, that gift that He promised to EVERYONE? That gift is
Jesus Christ Himself. Does Jesus live IN you and shine through you?
Have you accepted God's greatest Gift?
May Jesus bless you.

Good Job! Well Done!
Many believers do not want to believe
the words of Jesus when He said that we will be judged by our deeds.
Our deeds will determine whether we have eternal life or not.
Salvation is through faith in Jesus, but once we have believed in
Jesus we must OBEY Him and bear the right fruit. If we do not bear
good fruit we will be cut off. Jesus called us for His Kingdom and He
has given us responsibilities, work to do and if our deeds are not
completed in His sight we will not enter His Kingdom. He will reward
every man according to his deeds.
I want to read a few verses for you
from the Bible to prove what I am saying. The words of Jesus from
Matthew 25:14 He is talking about the
Kingdom of God: “For it is just like a man about to go on a
journey, who called his own slaves, and entrusted his possessions to
them. 15“ And to one he gave five talents, to another, two, and to
another, one, each according to his own ability; and he went on his
journey. 16“ Immediately the one who had received the five talents
went and traded with them, and gained five more talents. 17“ In the
same manner the one who had received the two talents gained two more.
18“ But he who received the one talent went away and dug in the
ground, and hid his master’s money. 19“ Now after a long time the
master of those slaves *came and *settled accounts with them. 20“
And the one who had received the five talents came up and brought
five more talents, saying, ‘Master, you entrusted five talents to
me; see, I have gained five more talents.’ 21“ His master said to
him, ‘Well done, good and faithful slave; you were faithful with a
few things, I will put you in charge of many things, enter into the
joy of your master.’ 22“ The one also who had received the two
talents came up and said, ‘Master, you entrusted to me two talents;
see, I have gained two more talents.’ 23“ His master said to him,
‘Well done, good and faithful slave; you were faithful with a few
things, I will put you in charge of many things; enter into the joy
of your master.’ 24“ And the one also who had received the one
talent came up and said, ‘Master, I knew you to be a hard man,
reaping where you did not sow, and gathering where you scattered no
seed. 25‘ And I was afraid, and went away and hid your talent in
the ground; see, you have what is yours.’ 26“ But his master
answered and said to him, ‘You wicked, lazy slave, you knew that I
reap where I did not sow, and gather where I scattered no seed. 27‘
Then you ought to have put my money in the bank, and on my arrival I
would have received my money back with interest. 28‘ Therefore take
away the talent from him, and give it to the one who has the ten
talents.’ 29“ For to everyone who has shall more be given, and he
shall have an abundance; but from the one who does not have, even
what he does have shall be taken away. 30“ And cast out the
worthless slave into the outer darkness; in that place there shall be
weeping and gnashing of teeth.”
How many talents did Jesus entrust to
YOU and to me? What are we doing with those talents? Are we
testifying for Jesus and bringing souls to repentance or are we
saying that we are saved by faith in Christ alone? And now we don't
need to do anything? That is not what Jesus said. Jesus said that we
must work for His Kingdom and He will reward every man according to
his deeds.
I read the words of Paul from Romans
2:5: “God, 6who WILL RENDER TO EVERY MAN ACCORDING TO HIS DEEDS:
7to those who by perseverance in doing good seek for glory and honor
and immortality, eternal life; 8but to those who are selfishly
ambitious and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, wrath
and indignation. 9There will be tribulation and distress for every
soul of man who does evil, of the Jew first and also of the Greek,
10but glory and honor and peace to every man who does good, to the
Jew first and also to the Greek. 11For there is no partiality with
God.” GOD WILL REWARD EVERY MAN ACCORDING TO HIS DEEDS!
We also read the warning of the Lord
Jesus in Revelation 3:1 “And to the angel of the church in Sardis
write: ¶ He who has the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars,
says this: ‘I KNOW YOUR DEEDS, THAT YOU HAVE A NAME THAT YOU ARE
ALIVE, BUT YOU ARE DEAD. 2‘ Wake up, and strengthen the things that
remain, which were about to die; for I HAVE NOT FOUND YOUR DEEDS
COMPLETED IN THE SIGHT OF MY GOD. 3‘ Remember therefore what you
have received and heard; and keep it, and repent. If therefore you
will not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at
what hour I will come upon you.”
Are our deeds completed before God? Are
we doing that which Jesus called us for. That which He is telling
each and every one of us to DO every day? Are we faithful servants in
the Kingdom of God?
I also read in Revelation 20:11 “And
I saw a great white throne and Him who sat upon it, from whose
presence earth and heaven fled away, and no place was found for them.
12And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the
throne, and books were opened; and another book was opened, which is
the book of life; and the dead were JUDGED FROM THE THINGS WHICH WERE
WRITTEN IN THE BOOKS, ACCORDING TO THEIR DEEDS. 13And the sea gave up
the dead which were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead which
were in them; and THEY WERE JUDGED, EVERY ONE OF THEM ACCORDING TO
THEIR DEEDS. 14And death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire.
This is the second death, the lake of fire. 15And if anyone’s name
was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the
lake of fire.”
Are our deeds completed before the
Lord? Is Jesus pleased with us? What will He say to us? Will He say
to us:”Good job! Well done, faithful servant! Come into the joy of
your Master!” Or will He send us away? Will we be cast out into
outer darkness? Are we faithful servants? Are our deeds complete?
What reward do we expect from the hand
of God?
May Jesus bless you.
No Peace
There is no peace for the wicked. There is no peace for the person who is not at peace with God. Sin separates us from God and it is only if we can have the guilt of our sin removed, that we can enter the perfect peace of God, a peace that passes all understanding.
If you don’t have the Spirit of God dwelling in you and you are not in communion with God Himself, you cannot have peace. You can occupy your mind with many things. You can chase after the lust of the flesh and entertainment, you can get drunk but when you sober up, there is no peace, there is a deep unhappiness, a fear in your heart because you know that you are separated from God. You can only have peace, if you have Jesus living in your heart.
The only way to get that peace is to bow down before Jesus Christ, cry out to Him, plead His forgiveness for your past sins and ask Him to make you new inside, to come and live inside of you. Then turn away from sin totally, repent, obey Jesus, obey His Words. Those are the Words of Life. Go and read His Words in the Gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Obey those Words and you will have eternal life. Invite Jesus into your life, into your heart and obey Him. Turn away from sin, be baptized in water for the washing off of your sin and He will give you the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of God to come and dwell in you and you will have Christ in you, the Spirit of the Living God dwelling in you, guiding you, coaching you, teaching you every moment, giving you peace and comforting you. If you go wrong He will reprimand you, He will chastise you, discipline you but if you stay with Him, you always have that peace. If you obey Him and let Jesus live in you and through you, you will have peace that passes all understanding. Only Jesus can give you that peace.
Have you found real peace? Is the Spirit of God dwelling in you? He will give you a new Tongue, a unique Tongue by which you can communicate with Him and you will be in unity with God and close communion with Him. Have you received the Holy Spirit? Is Jesus dwelling in you? Do you have PEACE that surpasses all understanding because you are doing the will of God, then you have His approval. Do you have that peace? Bow down on your knees before Jesus. Seek Him with all your heart, stay with Him and He will give you His peace inside of you. OBEY HIM and His peace will stay with you. If you grieve Him, you disobey Him, He will leave you and you will lose that peace because then you have rejected eternal Life.
Get that peace in your life, treasure it, keep it, that peace is JESUS CHRIST. Do you have JESUS?
May Jesus bless you.

Living IN THE SPIRIT In Communion With God
Jesus came to reconcile us, who were
separated from God, to reconcile us with God the Father, to bring us
into His presence so that we can live in constant communion with God
the Father. When Jesus walked the earth He was physically here and
His disciples followed Him but Jesus explained to His disciples that
He would be killed, He would resurrect and then He would go away to
the Father but He would not leave them alone. He would ask the Father
for the Comforter, the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of God to be with them
and IN them so that they can be reconciled with God, they can
constantly be in the presence of God, in communion with God, hearing
from God and doing the will of God just as Jesus Himself was
constantly connected to the Father and doing the will of the Father.
Thus, He connects those who OBEY Him, to the Father. He reconciles
them so that they can LIVE in the presence of the Father. They become
part of the Kingdom of God. His Spirit comes and dwells in them and
they obey Him. They serve God the Father, they LISTEN to His Spirit
and they OBEY Him. That is why Jesus came.
He promised the Holy Spirit to His
disciples and the Holy Spirit was poured out on the day of Pentecost
and THAT PROMISE IS FOR ALL OF THOSE WHO WOULD BELIEVE IN JESUS, who
would OBEY Him, REPENT AND BE BAPTIZED IN WATER, they would receive
the gift of the Holy Spirit and a NEW TONGUE, a heavenly tongue, a
unique tongue with which they communicate DIRECTLY with God the
Father. That is the baptism in the Holy Spirit that He promised to
everyone who OBEYS Him. He brings them into the presence of the
Father and the presence of the Father comes and lives IN YOU, the
Holy Spirit of God IN YOU and you can speak to God any time with that
tongue, that NEW TONGUE, that unique tongue that belongs to YOU only.
There is no imitation of it, no copy of it, it is absolutely unique.
You speak mysteries to God and your spirit together with the Spirit
of God are united and the Holy Spirit prays through you according to
the will of God, mysteries that nobody knows, you don't even know it
yourself. God is Spirit and those who worship Him, must worship Him
in spirit and in truth and WHILE YOU ARE WORSHIPING GOD IN THE
SPIRIT, HE REVEALS HIMSELF TO YOU IN THE NATURAL, IN THE PHYSICAL. He
puts revelation in you, He tells you the hidden things. He guides
you, He instructs you, That is GOD WITH US, united with God.
God promised YOU that connection, that
constant presence of God in you. And you need to practice that new
heavenly tongue that He put in you. You have got to speak to Him all
the time day and night. The Lord baptized me in the Holy Spirit 40
years ago and I have been praying in that heavenly tongue ever since.
I speak in that tongue any time because I am constantly connected to
God. That tongue belongs to me, it is my private connection with God.
Nobody can understand it, even if they overhear what I say, they
don't understand it. I am speaking mysteries to God and the Spirit of
God is feeding my spirit. You need the Holy Spirit to be connected to
God, YOU NEED THE INDWELLING PRESENCE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. At any time
I speak that tongue because it is my connection with God. I can do so
open eyes as I do my daily work or I close my eyes and I pray
[Praying in tongues...]
My spirit is praying to God and His
Spirit is filling my spirit. He puts revelation in my mind, in the
natural and I can write it down. He gives you prophecy, He gives you
visions while you are in that communion with God. You can pray all
the time.[Praying in tongues...] You do it any time, all the time,
day and night, when you wake up, you are connected to God, you are
praying in that tongue.
You need that connection with God, you
need to come into the presence of God – that is why Jesus came. If
you do not have the Holy Spirit of God in you, you are not connected
to Him. You need that connection. You need that heavenly tongue, that
NEW TONGUE that He will give uniquely to YOU. Only AFTER that does He
give the other spiritual gifts. HE FIRST EDIFIES THE INDIVIDUAL, YOU
have got to be connected to God and your spirit has got to be in
communion with God and only then can you edify the church, the body
of Christ. THE GIFTS OF GOD CAN NOT OPERATE THROUGH YOU IF YOU ARE
NOT CONNECTED TO GOD, IF THE HOLY SPIRIT DOES NOT DWELL IN YOU. Once
the Spirit of God dwells in you then it gives you prophecy, a word of
wisdom, healing; what ever the Spirit wants to give at that time. He
has made me speak in tongues that I don't understand. People have
said to me:”Do you know that language?” People have asked me:”Can
you speak that language?” It was a natural/ known language. I
said:”No.” I never learned that language (Spanish). They
said:”Well, you were praising God in that language:” I said:”Well
I don't know about it” because God gave me utterance. You first
need that connectivity with the Holy Spirit of God inside of you.
THAT IS WHY JESUS CAME, TO RECONCILE US WITH GOD, TO BRING US INTO
THE PRESENCE OF GOD SO THAT WE CAN BE LED BY THE SPIRIT OF GOD.
Those who are led by the Spirit of God,
they are the sons of God. Many have received the baptism in the Holy
Spirit but they are not practicing it. They are not LISTENING to the
Holy Spirit. They need to learn to wait on the Lord, to pray to
listen in their spirit and He will reveal things to them in the
natural. He will give them prophecy, things that nobody knows, hidden
things, He will reveal it to them, He will guide them and He will
send them to do His will. Without Jesus we can do nothing. Without
the Holy Spirit indwelling us we cannot please God. If you are not
LISTENING TO THE HOLY SPIRIT and if you are not following His
guidance and doing what Her is telling you to do, you are operating
on your own, you cannot please God! You need to have the Holy Spirit
of God indwelling you. You need to LISTEN and follow and OBEY. And if
you go wrong He will correct you. He will discipline you, He will
reprimand you. Many people are not listening. We need to follow
Jesus. We need to listen to the Holy Spirit.
We need to stay in the presence of God.
If you sin, you grieve the Spirit. He warns you and then He stops
speaking to you and then He will JUDGE you. THE JUDGMENT OF GOD IS
COMING ON MANY BELIEVERS, MANY, BECAUSE THEY DESPISE THE HOLY SPIRIT
OF GOD, THEY DESPISE GOD, THEY DESPISE JESUS. They think they
themselves are the important person and they have forgotten it is
about Jesus, it is about the Kingdom of God.
Have you received the Holy Spirit? Are
you praying in the Spirit, LISTENING to the Holy Spirit, obeying God
and doing His will? If you are not LISTENING TO THE HOLY SPIRIT and DOING His will you cannot be pleasing to God. You need the Holy Spirit in you. You need to be listening,
obeying, following, doing the will of God to be pleasing to Him.
Repent, turn away form sin, be baptized in water and God will give
you that indwelling Holy Spirit. He will give you a NEW TONGUE by
which you can communicate mysteries to Him and He can communicate to
your spirit. You can be reconciled with God and then you live in
holiness, in communion with God and you DO HIS WILL.
May Jesus bless you.

They Will Speak in NEW Tongues
Many believers do not really believe
what Jesus said. I read from Mark 16:17. Jesus said: "And
these signs will accompany those who have believed: in My name they
will cast out demons, THEY WILL SPEAK WITH NEW TONGUES;
“
Many argue and say that tongues is not
for them but Jesus said that those who believe in Him will speak in
NEW TONGUES, new tongues never spoken by any man. When you are
baptized in the Holy Spirit God gives you a NEW TONGUE, a unique
tongue that nobody else has ever spoken.
Do you believe in Jesus?
May Jesus bless you.
You need the Holy Spirit
Most believers are spiritually dead
because they don't have the Holy Spirit of God inside of them. Most
churches are full of corpses, full of sinners, people who have never
repented of their sins. They haven't been baptized in water in the
name of the Lord Jesus and they have never received the Holy Spirit.
If you don't have the Spirit of Christ inside of you, you don't have
the power to stand against the devil, you don't have life inside of
you.
You need to be baptized in the Holy
Spirit so that you can have the power of God inside of you. If Jesus
does not LIVE inside of you and you are not the light of the world
and the salt of the earth then you don't belong to Jesus. You need
the Holy Spirit or else you are spiritually dead. You need to REPENT,
call on Jesus, plead for forgiveness for your sins, plead for Him to
save you and TURN AWAY FROM SIN AND THEN BE BAPTIZED IN WATER SO THAT
YOUR SINS CAN BE WASHED OFF so that you can be BAPTIZED INTO THE LORD
JESUS CHRIST and you WILL RECEIVE THE BAPTISM IN THE HOLY SPIRIT and
you will have the POWER TO WITNESS for Christ, you will become part
of the Kingdom of God. If you have not received the baptism in the
Holy Spirit you are spiritually DEAD, friend. You NEED THE BAPTISM IN
THE HOLY SPIRIT, you need the POWER OF GOD inside you.
The promise is to YOU and to your
children and to all of those whom the Lord our God will call unto
Himself. Don't let the devil rob you of the POWER THAT GOD HAS
PROMISED YOU. Obey Jesus, repent, be baptized in water and you will
receive the baptism in the Holy Spirit and the power of God will
dwell in you. You will speak in other tongues and Jesus will live
inside of you. YOU NEED THE BAPTISM IN THE HOLY SPIRIT.
May Jesus bless you.

Did you receive the Holy Spirit?
There is one thing that all New Testament believers had in common and that was that they received the Holy Spirit and they spoke in tongues, not only on the day of Pentecost but all those who believed after Pentecost. And therefore we also read in Acts 19:1 “And it came about that while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul having passed through the upper country came to Ephesus, and found some disciples, 2and he said to them, “Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?” And they said to him, “No, we have not even heard whether there is a Holy Spirit.” 3And he said, “Into what then were you baptized?” And they said, “Into John’s baptism.” 4And Paul said, “John baptized with the baptism of repentance, telling the people to believe in Him who was coming after him, that is, in Jesus.” 5And when they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. 6And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they began speaking with tongues and prophesying.” You see dear friends that is the inheritance of those who follow Jesus Christ. That is the Holy Spirit that was promised to all those who believe, not just for some and not only on the day of Pentecost but for all those after the day of Pentecost, for us also. Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed in Jesus? If you repented and were baptized in water, then you will receive the baptism in the Holy Spirit. Ask and you will receive and you will receive the tongues also which is the proof that you have received the baptism in the Holy Spirit.
May Jesus bless you.

Unfruitful
Many believers believe that they are
saved but they are unfruitful. Jesus called us to bear fruit and if
we do not bear fruit we will be cut off. We read in Mark 11:12 ”And
on the next day, when they had departed from Bethany, He became
hungry. 13And seeing at a distance a fig tree in leaf, He went to see
if perhaps He would find anything on it; and when He came to it, He
found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs. 14And
He answered and said to it, “May no one ever eat fruit from you
again!” And His disciples were listening.”
Then we read in verse 20 “And as they
were passing by in the morning, they saw the fig tree withered from
the roots up. 21And being reminded, Peter *said to Him, “Rabbi,
behold, the fig tree which You cursed has withered.”
It was not the season for figs and
there was no fruit on it, only leaves. Many believers only have
leaves on them. They have no fruit on them, no good fruit. They will
get cursed and they will die, they will end up in hell. They will be
burned. We also read the words of Jesus in John 15:4 He said: “Abide
in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself,
unless it abides in the vine, so neither can you, unless you abide in
Me. 5“ I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me,
and I in him, he bears much fruit; for apart from Me you can do
nothing. 6“ If anyone does not abide in Me, he is thrown away as a
branch, and dries up; and they gather them, and cast them into the
fire, and they are burned.”
He is not talking about unbelievers,
they are not part of the vine! He is talking about believers who are
unfruitful. Many believers bear bad fruit. They are busy with the
wicked works of satan. They are gossips, trouble makers, they are
conformed to the world, they are in sin. Their works are BAD. We
will be judged by our deeds and if our fruit is not good or if we
have no fruit we will get cut off and burned!
How is our fruit today? Jesus is
coming, looking for fruit on you and me. What is He finding? Is He
just finding leaves, or is He finding fruit? If we do not abide in
Him, close to Him, led by His Spirit, we cannot bear fruit. We cannot
bear fruit on our own. We must be led by the Holy Spirit. We have got
to be praying, seeking to be pleasing to Him or else we cannot bear
fruit.
Are we fruitful for the Kingdom of God
or are we close to being cursed?
May Jesus bless you.

The Simplicity of the Gospel of Jesus Christ
The gospel of Jesus Christ is extremely
simple. It is so simple a child can understand it. I heard the gospel
when I was five years old. I repented and accepted Jesus and I
understood that I had to be baptized in water. The preacher refused
to baptize me and I said to him:”Sir, if I die tonight and I go to
hell because I am not baptized in water, then you will be to blame.”
And he baptized me at five years old because I insisted. That is how
plain and simple the gospel is.
Repent of your sins, accept Jesus into
your life, be baptized in water and you will have the peace of Christ
in your heart! And then, ask Him for the baptism in the Holy Spirit
and the Holy Spirit will guide you into all truth.
I could not read at five years old, I
was not yet in school, I couldn't read the Bible but I knew Jesus and
I was seeking for the baptism in the Holy Spirit until the Lord
baptized me when I was 18 years old. The biggest problem in my life
was that I did not stay focused on Jesus. I was distracted by people,
all the famous name preachers and all the stuff that they talk, their
interpretations of the Bible, and that derailed me. That took me away
from Jesus but by His mercy and His grace He drew me back in, into
the reality of a relationship with Him, the simplicity of following
Jesus, of praying all day, of hearing His voice, of following Him,
seeking to be pleasing to Him. You don't need an education. You don't
need to know the Bible, YOU NEED TO KNOW JESUS! Few of the first
believers could read or write, they were illiterate people but they
knew Jesus and they craved the baptism in the Holy Spirit and when
they received the baptism in the Holy Spirit they went out in the
power of the Holy Spirit.
The disciples were simple men,
fishermen. They were not literate, few of them were literate but you
don't need to be literate. You don't need to be educated. You need to
repent and be baptized and baptized in the Holy Spirit and with fire
and then the Holy Spirit will guide you into all truth.
It is all about your relationship with
Jesus, if you don't have that you are dead. If you don't have the
Holy Spirit in you, you don't have life in you. The Holy Spirit will
guide you into all truth.
Jesus taught me the Bible, after I
could read and I was full of doctrine! He had to reformat my hard
disk (brain). He said:”No. Let Me explain to you what was meant
there!” If you don't have the Holy Spirit, if you are not led by
the Holy Spirit you cannot be following Jesus. That is the simplicity
of the gospel of Jesus Christ. It is for children! Cry out to Jesus,
repent of your sin, cry with remorse, turn away from the world and
the things of the world, accept Jesus into your life, STOP SINNING,
BE HOLY, BE BAPTISED IN WATER. Ask Him for the baptism in the Holy
Spirit, PRAY EARNESTLY, UNTIL THE FIRE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT FALLS ON
YOU and you are FILLED through and through! And then you have the
POWER to be a witness for the Kingdom of God because then Jesus lives
in you!
That is how simple the gospel of Jesus
Christ is! It is JESUS CHRIST IN YOU! And if He is not IN you and His
light is not shining THROUGH you, you don't belong to Him and you
don't know Him.
Have you found Jesus?
May Jesus bless you.

You WILL SPEAK in TONGUES WHEN THE HOLY SPIRIT COMES ON YOU
The reason why most believers are
powerless against sin and against the devil, they don't have victory,
is because they don't have the Holy Spirit. They have never
received the Holy Spirit, they don't have the POWER to stand against
the devil. They are not connected to God. They don't have the Spirit
of God living in them.
Jesus commanded His disciples to go to
Jerusalem and wait for the Holy Spirit that was promised . We read in
Acts 1:8 “but you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come
upon you; and you shall be My witnesses.” And that is why people do
not witness for Jesus, they don't have the Spirit of God in them. You
cannot talk about Jesus if you do not know Jesus. If Jesus is not in
you and the power of God is not in you, you have got nothing to talk
about, you have no testimony.
The promise of the Spirit is for
everybody who believed, who REPENTED, OBEYED Jesus and was BAPTIZED
IN WATER. As Peter also told them on the day of Pentecost, I read
from Acts 2:38 “And Peter said to them, “REPENT, AND LET EACH OF
YOU BE BAPTIZED in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of
your sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39“
For THE PROMISE IS FOR YOU and your children, and for all who are far
off, as many as the Lord our God shall call to Himself.” The
promise is for all, not just for some, for everybody. Why? Because
everybody needs the power of the Holy Spirit. The apostle Paul writes
in Romans 8:9, “if you do not have the Spirit of Christ you do not
belong to Him.“ We need the Spirit of Christ in us so that we can
have the POWER of GOD in us. Jesus is Emmanuel, God with us, the
SPIRIT OF GOD LIVING IN US every moment, teaching us, guiding us and
sending us, using us for His kingdom. We are the body of Christ and
if the Spirit of Christ does not live in us then we are DEAD.
The Holy Spirit was promised to
EVERYONE who believed. Many people don't receive the baptism in the
Holy Spirit because they don't want it, some don't know about it,
other resist it but we MUST EARNESTLY DESIRE and SEEK and the Lord
will baptise us in the Holy Spirit and you WILL SPEAK IN TONGUES like
those did on Pentecost. I was earnestly seeking for the baptism in
the Holy Spirit and the Lord baptized me in the Holy Spirit 40 years
ago and I have been speaking in tongues ever since. I pray in tongues
at any time. It is the gift that God gave me and He will never take
it away. He gives us the gift to build us up to be effective
witnesses for Him as Paul also wrote in 1 Corinthians 14 “ 2For one
who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men, but to God; for no one
understands, but in his spirit he speaks mysteries.” and in verse 4
“One who speaks in a tongue edifies himself;” When you pray in
tongues you edify yourself and you need to be charging up all day.
Wherever you go you have got to be praying. When you pray in tongues
you are speaking to God with that tongue that He has given you. Your
spirit is connected to God and the Spirit of God in you prays
according to the will of God. So you have got to excercize it and I
pray in tongues all the time. It doesn't matter whether you are
driving your motor car, whether you are doing any other work, your
mind is unfruitful, your mind is not thinking but God gives you the
tongue, He gives you utterance and you speak those words, you pray in
tongues all the time, as you please, with your eyes closed, with your
eyes open, it doesn't matter, you pray in tongues because the Spirit
of God dwells in you and the Spirit of God prays through
you...[Speaking in tongues...]
I can pray any time and all the time,
and all day and all night in my mind and out loud. I can pray ALL THE
TIME, and thus you can pray continuously. When you go into earnest
prayer then you hear that it is another tongue that God gives you and
the tongue changes. He gives you another utterance and you go into
intercession, and God puts another tongue in you, because you don't
know properly what the Spirit of God wants you to pray, but you are
praying mysteries to God! The Spirit of God is praying through you.
You need the Spirit of God in you or
else you don't have the power of God in you. You cannot do without
Him and you need to EXCERCISE that Spirit of God in you, YOU HAVE GOT
TO PRAY IN TONGUES. He is not going to force you. YOU HAVE GOT TO
PRAY IN TONGUES but the Spirit helps you to pray because the Spirit
of God lives in you and as He puts the tongue in your mouth He also
puts His Words in your mind and you can speak the Words of God and
that is where prophecy comes from; when He puts His words in
understandable language, in your own language, when He puts that on
your tongue, THEN YOU PROPHECY. It is not when you go and study and
you tell people stories. That is not prophecy. It is when you speak
under unction of the Holy Spirit and the Spirit of God puts those
words in you and by faith you speak them. That is prophecy.
YOU NEED THE HOLY SPIRIT. You cannot
prophecy if you have not received the baptizm in the Holy Spirit. It
all starts with the baptizm in the Holy Spirit, AND YOU WILL SPEAK IN
TONGUES, because the promise is for YOU and for your children and
for everybody, all those whom the Lord our God will call to Himself.
Seek it and you will receive it! Many
people are not receiving it because they have not repented. They have
never met with Jesus, they don't know Jesus. Many want the gift to
show that they have the Spirit of God in them but they don't want
God! You must desire Jesus earnestly with all your heart, lay aside
your sin and follow Him with all your heart and He will baptize you
in the Holy Spirit. You must OBEY Him, be baptized in water and seek
Him with all your heart and He will FILL you with the Holy Spirit
that you can have the POWER to go and testify in His name.
May Jesus bless you.
