The car fell on me - My Testimony

When we lived in Baltimore a few years ago, I did a oil change for somebody on their motor car.  In order to get to the oil filter, which is situated behind the engine, I had to jack this car up.  I put the motor car in park and I put the hand break on and then I jacked the car up.  What I did not see was that the asphalt was at a slight gradient, slight incline and as soon as I was underneath the car, this car started moving, and it fell off the jack onto me, it crushed down my ribs, I started screaming but because of the weight of the car on my chest, I could not get much sound out. Eventually my wife heard me inside (the apartment) and she came running out.  My wife didn’t know what to do, so she prayed, she said: "Lord help" and the next thing, a postal worker stopped there with his little van.  This man jumped out when he saw what was happening and he run to the car. He picked the car up, he was not a big guy, but he picked that car up and I managed to crawl out.  What was quite amazing is that the entire bottom of the car is closed in and there was only a small cavity right in front of my face.  That is where I put my hand through to get to the oil filter but when the car fell on me it fell in such a way that, that cavity was right over my face, otherwise it would have crushed my head.  It did bruise my chest a bit and I was sore for a few days but I just thank Jesus that He kept me alive.  It is so wonderful that when we call on the Lord, He answers our prayers.  He answered my wife’s prayers when she said: "Lord, help us please" and that man arrived there. He could not pick that car up, afterwards when he tried, but the Lord gave him power to lift it off me. I just want to share this testimony to let others know that Jesus is alive.  He is the God of miracles. If we call on Him then He answers our prayers and He keeps us alive, for His purpose.
May Jesus bless you.

The Power of Your Testimony

The devil will do anything and everything in his power to stop you from testifying for Jesus because he knows that that is where the power lies. The devil wants you to debate and get into arguments because nobody comes to Jesus through arguments, but our testimony is powerful, because that leads people to Jesus. Jesus said that:”You will be My witnesses,” and that is what we are called to do, TO WITNESS of what Jesus did in our life. And if we don't have a testimony then we don't know Jesus, then we don't have a relationship with Him.
Our testimony is the reflection of our relationship with Jesus. It is the proof of the reality of Jesus Christ. Nobody can argue a testimony. There is no argument that can refute your testimony. Either they believe you or they disbelieve you. We must testify, we must share what Jesus has done in our lives. We must not forget what He has done. We must remind ourselves and tell other people what Jesus has done for us. We will overcome by the BLOOD OF THE LAMB (Jesus) and by THE WORD OF OUR TESTIMONY. Are you overcoming, by your testimony? Is your testimony working for the Kingdom of God?
May Jesus bless you.

Jesus taught me - My Testimony

Jesus said to the disciples: "One is your Teacher, even the Christ Himself."  That has been true in my life also since I have come to Jesus and accepted Him as my Lord and my Master.  He has treated me as a child and He has been teaching me, coaching me and guiding me.  At times I was not a good child, at times I was not a good learner but we learn through what we suffer and suffer, I have suffered much often because of my own disobedience and other times just because we learn through suffering.  And I had to suffer to learn to trust in Jesus, to obey Him, to become patient, to be persistent.  He taught me obedience and He often chastised me, when I went wrong, but always in love.  When I strayed, He brought me back.  When I was too much in love with the world, He took away my worldly possessions.  He destroyed the works of my hands, so that I had to learn that all is in vain.  We learn through what we suffer.  We learn because Jesus is our Teacher and because He is GOOD.  It is His good will and His intention to teach us that we can be useful for His Kingdom.  He has called us for a purpose and we have to live that purpose, but unless we learn obedience, unless we learn to yield to the Holy Spirit, unless we learn to totally trust Him, we will not follow and obey Him. 
I thank Jesus for His dealings in my life, for His Hand which at time has been SEVERE, tough on me, because He worked those qualities in me, the CHARACTER that He wants of a child of God.  He still treats me as a child because I am a child.  I am a child of God and I am so thankful that I can trust in Him.  I am so thankful that He has taught me obedience, that I must just be humble and dependant on Him, and I must follow Him with all my heart.  I have been unfaithful, I have made many mistakes, but Jesus has never let me down. 
Through my mistakes I have learned one thing and that is: YOU CANNOT GO ON STUMBLING because there comes a day that if you keep on stumbling you might not get up again. I have learned to mind my walk and be very careful to be obedient to my Lord and Master, because His ways are the best ways.  He is faithful but I must be faithful until the very, very end.  
May Jesus bless you.

Religious Mindset – My Struggle

Having been brought up in a Christian house, my biggest obstacle, that prevented me from truly following Jesus was a RELIGIOUS MINDSET. Being biblical and being a devout church member does not make you pleasing to Jesus, it rather distracts you and prevents you from being and doing what Jesus called you for.

Jesus calls us unto Himself for His purpose but religion snatches believers away and takes them on a path of destruction. The religious mindset is a plot of the devil that leads believers away from Jesus. Instead of becoming disciples, followers of Jesus, who walk daily by faith in a close relationship with Jesus they become deceived religious hypocrites who have no relationship with Jesus at all.

Religion is about physical things that people identify with, the Bible, Koran, manuscripts, writings, prayer books, churches, buildings, artifacts, sculptures, crucifixes, paintings, people and holy places. These physical things become the objects and facilitators of worship and the proof of faith. ALL CHRISTIAN DENOMINATIONS ARE PART OF THIS DECEPTION, EVEN IF THEY ARE JUST BIBLE WORSHIPERS AND CHURCH GOERS.

A true follower of Jesus does not need any of these. He is in a spiritual relationship with Jesus as Jesus also said to the Samaritan woman. She said to Jesus: (John 4:20) Our fathers worshiped in this mountain, and you people say that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.” Jesus said to her, “Woman, believe Me, an hour is coming when neither in this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father. You worship what you do not know; we worship what we know, for salvation is from the Jews. But AN HOUR IS COMING, AND NOW IS, WHEN THE TRUE WORSHIPERS WILL WORSHIP THE FATHER IN SPIRIT AND TRUTH; for such people the Father seeks to be His worshipers. GOD IS SPIRIT, AND THOSE WHO WORSHIP HIM MUST WORSHIP IN SPIRIT AND TRUTH.”

A true follower of Jesus is led by the Holy Spirit. You cannot follow Jesus unless you are led by the Holy Spirit. All other forms of serving Jesus are fleshly man made religions that cannot please Jesus, neither do they bring anybody into the will of God. Jesus alone, is the way the truth and the life, there is no other way to have eternal life. Jesus said, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”John 14:6.

YOU NEED TO GET ALONE WITH JESUS – YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS WILL DETERMINE WHERE YOU SPEND ETERNITY, NOTHING ELSE.

YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS STARTS when you humble yourself before Him in prayer and cry out to Him for mercy and forgiveness of your past sins. You must cry out UNTIL you find PEACE and FORGIVENESS. You must SPIRITUALLY CONNECT WITH JESUS. JESUS MUST BECOME REAL TO YOU AT THAT POINT or else you have not met Him. It is at this point that many believers get diverted away from Jesus into religion. Instead of building their spiritual relationship with Jesus they become indoctrinated and deceived.

YOU MUST STAY WITH JESUS! Jesus is your LIFE. What matters to Jesus is OBEDIENCE. LISTEN to the Holy Spirit who will together with your conscience, convict you of SIN, RIGHTEOUSNESS and JUDGMENT. OBEY and be holy, do not sin at all. If you LISTEN, He will guide you. Read the WORDS OF JESUS in the gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John and OBEY them. Take those words literally. Be baptized in water by another true follower of Jesus. Pray and ask Jesus for the baptism in the Holy Spirit.

BUILD YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS THROUGH PRAYER. The Holy Spirit will remind you of the words of Jesus as written in the gospels. Live absolutely holy. Remove all things that separate you from Jesus or distract you from Him. Pray about all your questions and problems. DO NOT ASK PEOPLE, ASK JESUS. Pray, trust Him and be patient, expect Him to help and guide you. Stay focused on Jesus and you will see the answer when it comes. JESUS REWARDS THOSE WHO DILIGENTLY SEEK HIM.

It is all about Jesus, nothing else. No man, no church, no books, videos, writings, special prayers, nothing can help you, only Jesus. Seek Jesus and you will find Him. Stay with Jesus and seek to please Him. He will reveal Himself to you as He did to all those who went before us, who truly followed Him, who worshiped Him in Spirit and in truth.

May Jesus bless you.

The Books are Being Written - Our Deeds are Being Recorded

There are books being written every day and we also read in the book of Revelation about books that will be opened, books that are being written right now. I read from Revelations 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 the 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. 14 And 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.”
There are books being written about each of us today, about your life, about mine, right now, about our deeds, what we are doing and we will be judged by what is written in those books. For most of my life I have been serving myself, serving sin. I did what I pleased to do, but I thank Jesus that He forgave me for the sins that I did, when I repented. But what really matters now is what is written in the books after I came to Jesus because that will determine where I spend eternity.
If we truly believe in Jesus then that which is written will reflect our obedience to Jesus and doing what is pleasing to Him. We were made for His purpose. The question is: Are we serving His purpose? Are we doing what Jesus wants us to do, or are we doing that which we please? We will be judged according to what is written in the books. Are we pleasing to Jesus or are we pleasing ourselves?
May Jesus bless you.

Jesus kept me alive - My Testimony

Last night during the night I woke up to pray, as we normally do, and I waited on the Lord. He said to me:”Fear not, I am with you” and then He took me back over my life, so many times that I should have been killed. I was reminded of the time when I owned my own aircraft for more than ten years and there were many times that I should have been killed. Many pilots of small aircraft do get killed. I recalled so many times that it was a miracle that I am still alive. I was a VFR pilot which means, I flew by visual flight rules, not instruments. I was caught in fog quite a few times. Most pilots come out of fog in a grave yard spiral, they pick up the pieces. The Lord always helped me to get out of there although I was not IFR (Instrument Flight Rules) rated.
There were times that I was caught in cloud, that I was drawn up in a cumuli nimbus, that I saw the altimeter (Height Meter) spinning around (gaining hundreds of feet per minute, each revolution a thousand feet) gaining a thousand feet at a time and the Lord got me out of there. What normally happens in that situation is that you exceed VNE, designed speed capability of the aircraft wing and the wings break off. I've been caught in down drafts, dragged down ravines and the Lord helped me out of there. I did many bush landings, places where other people would not even dare go, sometimes foolish things I did but I am still alive. I look back and there were many times that I just said:”Lord help me!” and He helped me. HE KEPT ME ALIVE.
Not so long ago my wife and I went out and we came back one night on a very narrow road. Suddenly a car pulled in front of us from the side. It was absolutely impossible to miss that car. I could see myself driving into the side of that car and us being killed but the Lord saved us out of that, miraculously.
I said:”Lord, why is that?” I have had so many close encounters with death where miraculously I was kept alive. And the Lord said to me:”I kept you alive, for My purpose.” It is not about us, it is not about me. I am nothing, but the Lord has a purpose with each of us and He gives us breath, He keeps us alive for HIS PURPOSE, for His Kingdom. Many of us never live that purpose.
I was blind, stupid, busy with my own things and then I had a heart attack and I died and I found myself on my way to hell. That was in 1998. I pleaded with Jesus and He let me come back to come and fulfill my purpose. I am so thankful! I am so thankful and that is why I am here telling you, dear friend, Jesus is keeping you alive for a purpose, for His purpose. You need to submit to Him, live your life for Him. He wants you in His Kingdom but you must obey Him, you must serve Him. You must live absolutely for Him.
I thank Jesus today that I can live my purpose and I pray that I endure until the very end, living for His purpose, because I want to live for His purpose, in His Kingdom for eternity. Jesus is keeping you alive, dear friend. Don't squander that life, live that life for Jesus or you might just lose it for eternity, as I almost did. I want to live for Jesus. for ever. because HE IS KEEPING ME ALIVE.
May Jesus bless you.

Nothing is impossible WITH JESUS

Jesus Christ is the living God and He is ready to reveal Himself to you as real, if you will just call on Him, if you seek Him. I have called on Jesus countless times, in desperation, and He has always answered me. He has always rescued me and that is why I know that He is real, He is alive and that He cares. It does not matter what your problem is, it does not matter where you have been, what you have done, what you have got yourself into, if you call on Him He will answer you.
He cares for you, dear friend. He loves you. He wants to show you that He loves you, He wants to show you that He is real, so that you can know that He is the ONLY LIVING GOD and you need to know Him. Jesus said:”Seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness and all the other things will be added unto you.” Jesus has made my life complete, since I have put Him first in my life, since I have made Him the LORD of my life. Jesus is faithful. He will never let you down. Just call on Him, friend, and He will show Himself to you as MIGHTY GOD!
May Jesus bless you.

There is no Right Church

There is no RIGHT CHURCH, right Bible translation, right preacher, right doctrine, there is only ONE who can save us and that is Jesus Christ. He is the One who sets the captives free. He is the ONE who delivers us from all our trials. Jesus is the ONE who will decide who will go into heaven or not. Jesus ALONE is the WAY AND THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE and if you do not know Him, He will not allow you into His Kingdom, into Heaven. What you need is JESUS, dear friend! You don't need anything else. You need to get down on your knees and cry out to Him with everything that is in you! REPENT of your sin, turn away from wickedness and ask Him to accept you as a child of God. Ask Him for His Holy Spirit who will guide you into all truth. If Jesus is not your LIFE, you don't have life, you have nothing, dear friend.
What you need, is Jesus! Do you know Jesus and DOES JESUS KNOW YOU? Do you have Jesus in your life, in your heart? Is Jesus your LIFE? Because if He is not, then you don't have life, dear friend. You don't have hope, you have NOTHING. Get to know Jesus before it is too late!
May Jesus bless you.

Get out of church - Here is why

The disciples of Jesus were associated with HIM, they were followers of Christ and He commanded them to go and make disciples, not of themselves, not little groups and churches, but disciples of Jesus. If we belong to a group or a church or a club then we take on the values of that organization, we are associated with that organization, with that group of people and when they mess up we are tainted with the same brush.
Our association and our fellowship is with Jesus, not with people, with Jesus Christ and if we meet or come across others who associate with Jesus then we have the same association – THAT IS THE TRUE CHURCH, THE BODY OF CHRIST, NOT A “CHURCH” OR AN ORGANIZATION! It is those people who truly love Jesus, who know Him, who follow Him. They have no other association. Their association is JESUS CHRIST and they want to please Him. Its a lonely road because people will reject you IF YOU DO WHAT JESUS COMMANDED US TO DO. That is the only way that you will get into heaven, dear friend!
If you become part of a group you take on their values and you go where they are going! THERE ARE NO GROUPS GOING TO HEAVEN, NOT “CHURCHES,” ONLY INDIVIDUALS WHO FOLLOW JESUS CHRIST! What is your association? Are you part of a “church,” an organization or do you follow Jesus? Is Jesus Christ your reality, or do you have other associations? You either belong to a “church” or a group or a club or you belong to Jesus.
I belong to Jesus! He is my Lord, He is my Master, He is my King! I don't care going alone as long as I go with Jesus. Who do you follow? Who do you associate with, with Jesus, or with people?
May Jesus bless you.

Fornicators will burn in hell

It is a very sad fact that more than 50% of children born in the USA are born outside of wedlock.  All fornicators will end up in HELL, if they DO NOT REPENT and LIVE HOLY.  I read the Words of Paul from 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 “Or do you not know that the UNRIGHTEOUS will NOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD? Do not be deceived; neither FORNICATORS, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, shall inherit the Kingdom of God. Such WERE some of you.” The Door that leads to the Kingdom of Heaven is very, very narrow, very few people will go in there.
ALL SINNERS will go into HELL. The only way that we can have eternal life is to TURN AWAY FROM SIN COMPLETELY, to LIVE HOLY and to OBEY JESUS CHRIST.  NO SINNERS will go into Heaven.  There are many who BELIEVE that as long as they BELIEVE IN JESUS they can have eternal life.  If you believe in Jesus you OBEY HIM and Jesus said: SIN NO MORE.  If you keep on sinning dear friend, you will certainly end up in hell.  I am not judging you, I am just reminding you and me of the Words of Jesus.  Do you want to go into Heaven or do you want to carry on the way that you are and end up in hell?  The decision is yours my friend.  We will be JUDGED BY THE WORDS OF JESUS and there will be NO EXCEPTION.
May Jesus bless you.

Avoid these people

There are some people who profess to be children of God, they say they believe in Jesus. They preach and they slander, they attack their brothers and sisters. They are not living as children of God but as children of satan and I want to read what Paul said about these people.
I read from 2 Timothy 3:1-5 “But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come. 2For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, ARROGANT, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3unloving, irreconcilable, MALICIOUS GOSSIPS, without self-control, brutal, haters of good, 4treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5holding to a form of godliness, although they have denied its power; AVOID SUCH MEN AS THESE.”
A tree is known by its fruit. If a person professes to be a follower of Jesus but he does all these wicked things, then he is not a child of God, he is a son of the devil and as a child of God, what you need to do is: AVOID THESE PEOPLE! Just have nothing to do with them. Fix your sight on Jesus. Be holy and be righteous. Follow Jesus and do what He wants you to do. These people will just distract you. Keep your eyes on Jesus, friend, and follow Him.
May Jesus bless you.

Trust Completely - Stop Stumbling

The Holy Spirit gave me a word that I wish to share with you:
Trust completely in Jesus and in His Holy Spirit to guide you into all truth. He will lead you to life. He cannot let you stumble, He will carry you through. The grace of God wants to lead you to repentance and into perfect trust in Him. Your trials will be many but you must endure to win the prize of LIFE.
Stop stumbling and run with endurance or else you will not make it to the end. Fix your sight on Jesus and don't be distracted. Get your mind on Jesus and let Him guide you, not your own mind. Wait on Him, let His Spirit guide you. Listen intently and receive the implanted word that will lead you to life. Trust in Him completely, do not waver. Let His LIGHT guide you into perfect obedience and holiness. Trust in Him completely!

REPENT MEANS: STOP SINNING!

To repent means: TO STOP SINNING.  It is because of sin that the wrath of God comes on men and that causes sickness, pain and calamity.  We read in John 5 of the lame man at the bath of Bethesda, Jesus healed him and then afterwards He said to him John 5:14 “Afterward Jesus found him in the temple and said to him, "Behold, you have become well; DO NOT SIN ANYMORE, so that NOTHING WORSE MAY BEFALL YOU."  Jesus never condemned or judged anybody, but He did say: GO SIN NO MORE.  If we keep on sinning, we will fall under the judgment of God. If we disobey Jesus, we will end up in eternal hell.
We read the words of John the Baptist in John 3:36 "He who believes in the Son has eternal life; but he who DOES NOT OBEY THE SON shall not see life, but the WRATH OF GOD abides on him." If we keep on sinning, the wrath of God abides on us. If we BELIEVE IN JESUS we OBEY HIM, we REPENT.  Jesus said: GO SIN NO MORE.  If we keep on sinning, we do not have the hope of eternal life.  Jesus said: "GO SIN NO MORE."
May Jesus bless you.

Witchcraft in the Church

I want to talk about sorcery in the church organizations.
Now, I must distinguish here that the true Church is the Body of Christ and cannot be separated from Christ. Now, church organizations, or ministries, as some refer to them, are not the Body of Christ. They are organizations. There might be some people in those organizations who do belong to the Body of Christ, but the organization is not the Body of Christ. There are some of those organizations that do good work and bring people to Jesus. But some of them are extremely wicked and their power lies in sorcery.They manipulate people by various means to achieve their goals and their goals are NOT to bring people to Jesus Christ but to make use of them, to get money from them. And these organizations, or ministries, use the Bible, and other means, to cast spells on people. Because they get a hold of their minds, and they enslave them. They use Bible verses to compel people to give their money. They pull out certain verses, like tithing, they force people to pay 10% of their money to the church. And then many of these organizations will also preach lasciviousness. In other words, they say,"We are under Grace, not under law, so we don't need to keep the law of Moses." But the Law of Moses says you've got to tithe. So they are hypocrites, they are cheating, lying hypocrites. We are not to pay tithes to churches or organizations.
Jesus Christ does not want money of us. He wants your heart! God wants righteousness in us. These people also prey on the lust of men to be rich and they say to them that you've got to sow seed into the Kingdom of God, and if you sow, then you will receive back, some tenfold, thirtyfold, hundredfold. But the only person that receives is the ministry, or the organization. They are extorting money from people. Another way that these people go about casting spells on people is through "spiritual gifts." I would not say which spirit it is, because it's got to be the spirit of the devil. They prophecy over people, and those who feed them, those they bless. But those who do not give them money,they curse. As it's also written in Micah - I read from Micah 3:5 - about these prophets of these ministries.
He says, "Thus says the Lord concerning the prophets who led my people astray -when they have something to bite with their teeth, they cry 'peace.'But against him who puts nothing in their mouth,they declare a holy war."
We see this, that these ministries, when people support them, they bless them. But when people stop giving money, they curse them; they put "holy" curses on them.There's no such thing as a holy curse or a holy war; it is wicked! It is from the devil.
These prophecies of theirs, of these people, that is sorcery, that is lies, that is deception! And the only power that these lies, that these prophecies have is the deception. If you believe it, then you fear them and you will give them money. The majority of current churches operate in that way because people believe if they don't go to church, they go to hell.
The churches have taken the Scripture,"Do not forsake the assembly" so now they force people to come to church. The assembly of the Saints is when those people who Love Jesus, when they come together. And let me tell you one thing - If you love Christ, you're going to find another brother who loves Christ. But it doesn't mean that you're going to go to the club and submit yourself to leadership who is fleecing the sheep - who is taking money from your pocket. You don't serve God with your money, you serve Him with your heart!
Jesus did not come to make us rich, He came to make us righteous. And the righteousness which is by faith is not that you just believe you are righteous, and now you're righteous - you believe Christ made you righteous.The righteousness of Christ is because you live righteously! If Christ has made you righteous, my friend, you are inside a changed man and woman and you live righteously! That is what God is interested in. He's not interested in your money; He's not interested in your church attendance. He's interested that you fear Him and you love Him and you are in a relationship with Him every moment of your life!
It is not about building churches, the Body of Christ, the Church of Christ is not a building. Christ made our bodies to be the temple of the Holy Spirit. And those in whom the Holy Spirit dwells, they are the Temple of God. God does not live in a church. The power of these deceivers lies in using the Bible and various other means to manipulate people and enslave them. And these poor people will, in the end, wake up and find out that they never knew Jesus Christ and Jesus will say to them -"Go away, I never knew you." What God wants is not your money. He doesn't want your church attendance. He does not want you to submit to some self-proclaimed apostle or prophet. Fear no man; Fear God alone! There is one Teacher, and that is Jesus Christ, His Holy Spirit. There is only one God that you've got to fear, and that's God almighty. There's only one Head to whom you report - and that is Jesus Christ. Nobody else!! God is our Father, not people. What does the Lord require of us, what does God want of us?
Let us read from Michah 6:6 - He says, "With what shall I come to the Lord and bow myself before the God on High? Shall I come to Him with burnt offerings with yearling calves? (I.E. - Does the Lord want your money? No.)
"Does the Lord delight in thousands of rams and ten thousand rivers of oil?"Seed faith, as these people say. No!
Shall I present my first born for my rebellious acts, the fruit of my body from the fruit of my soul? (IE - Must I sacrifice to God? No!)
He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you? But to do justice, to love kindness,and to walk humbly with your God." That is what God requires of us. It is that we love righteousness, we must do justice, love kindness, love each other, not curse each other,  because God wants righteousness in us.
DO NOT fear these people! Do not be part of these organizations, but be part of the Body of Christ. Follow Jesus Christ with all your heart and you will find fellowship with true brothers in Christ. You will make fellowship because you will be bringing others to Jesus and you will be building the Kingdom of God; that is true Church, not these extortioners.
Follow Jesus and be the Body of Christ!Be holy, be righteous so that the Spirit of God will dwell in you, and the Light of Christ will shine through you.
May Jesus bless you.

A Golden Opportunity

All that glitters is not gold.  All opportunities that come your way are not good opportunities.  At first they might seem good but in the end, they can cost you your eternal soul.
The devil will try anything to get you into hell, to destroy you and he will send "good" opportunities your way.  The devil tempted Jesus and he said to Him: "I will give you all the kingdoms of this world if You will bow down and worship me." Many celebrities, singers, actors have sold their soul to the devil for temporal fame but they were quickly destroyed.  They rose to fame, they became rich and then they died terrifically, young.
Dear friend, the devil has destroyed many people through opportunities that he has sent their way.  Many preachers that were men of God, called by God, they were drawn away by the devil, by the temptation of riches, of fame, they became famous but they sold their soul to the devil and in the end they went away from Jesus.  How do you know whether a person is a man of God or a woman of God? Whether they are loved by the world or whether they are rejected, because the world loves its own but it HATES those who are of God.  The world loved everything that Jesus gave, the miracles, the bread, but they HATED HIS WORDS.  If the Words of Jesus are in us, then the world will hate us.
We must not take every opportunity that comes our way.  If we are looking for opportunities, we will find those.  We need to be looking for THE WILL OF GOD, for THE KINGDOM OF GOD.  We must SEEK TO BE PLEASING TO JESUS, to OBEY THE FATHER, to DO THE WILL OF THE FATHER.  Jesus spoke the Words of the Father.  He said: "Not everyone who says to Me, Lord, Lord will enter the Kingdom of Heaven but He who DOES THE WILL OF MY FATHER."  What is THE WILL OF THE FATHER? That we OBEY THE WORDS OF JESUS.  He said: "This is My beloved Son in whom I am well pleased, LISTEN TO HIM."  We must listen to the Words of Jesus and OBEY Him, then we will have eternal life.  Jesus said:  SEEK FIRST THE KINGDOM OF GOD and HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS and all the other things will be added unto you.  All we need dear friends is eternal life.  The pleasures of this world are passing away very quickly, before you know, it is time to go, and if you have not prepared for eternity, you will spend eternity in hell, in damnation, away from God because you DID NOT SEEK HIS WAYS.  You were NOT OBEDIENT TO JESUS, you were running after pleasures and opportunities.
SEEK JESUS and He will give you the utmost best and on top of that, you will live in the Kingdom of God.  SEEK FIRST THE KINGDOM OF GOD and HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS and all the other things will be added unto you.
May Jesus bless you.

Arise from the Dead

Jesus Christ is ALIVE and He reigns, He is Lord of lords and King of kings, but sadly for most of those who believe in Him, THEY ARE STILL DEAD IN THEIR SINS. Jesus cannot be seen in them. They believe that they are saved but they are conformed to the world. There is no difference between them and the world. They are still dead in their sins. Paul wrote in Romans 13:11. “ knowing the time, that it is already the hour for you to awaken from sleep; for now salvation is nearer to us than when we believed. 12The night is almost gone, and the day is at hand. Let us therefor lay aside the deeds of darkness and PUT ON the armor of light. 13LET US BEHAVE PROPERLY as in the day, not in carousing and drunkenness, not in sexual promiscuity and sensuality, not in strife and jealousy. 14But PUT ON THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, AND MAKE NO PROVISION FOR THE FLESH IN REGARD TO ITS LUSTS.”
Many believers are still living according to the flesh, they are not ready for the coming of Jesus Christ. They are not ready to die and to meet their Maker. They are still DEAD IN THEIR SINS. Paul also wrote to the Ephesians, chapter 5:3 “But do not let immorality or any impurity or greed even be named among you, as is proper among saints;4and there must be no filthiness and silly talk, or coarse jesting, which are not fitting, but rather giving of thanks.5For this you know with certainty, that no immoral or impure person or covetous man, who is an idolater, has an inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God.
6Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience. 7Therefore DO NOT BE PARTAKERS WITH THEM; 8for you were formerly darkness, but now you are Light in the Lord; walk as children of Light 9(for the fruit of the Light consists in all goodness and righteousness and truth), 10trying to learn what is pleasing to the Lord. 11DO NOT PARTICIPATE IN THE UNFRUITFUL DEEDS OF DARKNESS, but instead even expose them; 12for it is disgraceful even to speak of the things which are done by them in secret. 13But all things become visible when they are exposed by the light, for everything that becomes visible is light.14For this reason it says,
“Awake, sleeper,
and ARISE FROM THE DEAD,
AND CHRIST WILL SHINE ON YOU.”
Most believers are conformed to this world, they are into immorality and into the same dissipation, all the desires of the flesh, as much as the world is. They are not in Christ, They are DEAD IN THEIR SINS. THEY ARE EXACTLY THE SAME AS THE WORLD. The modern day church IS “THE WORLD.” Dear friend, come out from amongst them, RISE FROM THE DEAD, be holy, OBEY Jesus Christ and Jesus will shine in and through you. Do not stay DEAD IN YOUR SINS, but come alive for Christ.
May Jesus bless you.

The Price of Salvation - Obedience Unto Death

The price of salvation is obedience, OBEDIENCE UNTO DEATH. Jesus Christ Himself obeyed the Father unto death, as we read in Philippians 2:5 “Having this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus, 6who, although He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped, 7but emptied Himself, taking on the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men. 8Being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming OBEDIENT TO THE POINT OF DEATH, even death on a cross.”
If we want eternal life, we must become obedient to Jesus even unto the point of death. Jesus said:”Why do you call Me Lord, Lord and DO NOT AS I SAY.” If we believe in Jesus Christ that He is indeed, LORD, KING and MASTER and we accept Him as our LORD, then we will OBEY Him, we will DO as He commanded. That is the price of salvation. Faith leads us to OBEDIENCE to Jesus Christ. If we do not serve Him as LORD, unto death, then we do not belong to His Kingdom.
Are you willing to obey Jesus even unto death?
May Jesus bless you.

Deny Yourself - The Price of Eternal Life

Discipleship is not for everybody, but discipleship is the price of eternal life because if we want to have eternal life we must become part of another kingdom, the Kingdom of God. We must come under the reign of God. Jesus Christ becomes our Lord and we SERVE HIM as LORD. If we don't want to serve Him as Lord we cannot be part of His Kingdom and He does not force anybody to obey Him or to follow Him. That is why it is not for everybody. It is for those who truly want to follow Jesus, who want to be part of His Kingdom.
That is why Jesus said:”If any man WISHES to come after Me, let him deny Himself, pick up his cross every day and come here, follow Me.” He also said that if you want to follow Him you must first figure out the cost because if you get half way and you decide you don't want to do it any more then people will laugh at you. Following Jesus means, DENYING YOURSELF. Denying yourself means that now you become part of the Kingdom of God and you DO what Jesus wants you to do, you live a life that is pleasing to Him. If He is your Lord and your Master, you live to please Him. So how would we know what to do to be pleasing to Jesus? We need to first KNOW Him and then we need to FOLLOW HIM BY FAITH.
If you decide to follow Jesus and become part of His Kingdom then He blots out your previous sin, He forgives it, He gives you a clean slate, He makes you a new man, but then you must live in that newness. You cannot go back to your previous lifestyle because then you fall out of the kingdom of God, you go away from Jesus. It is only those who endure until the very end that will find the very narrow door to eternal life. You need to make up your mind first whether you really want to follow Jesus and be part of his Kingdom, and then you go on your knees and you ask Him to accept you into His Kingdom and to forgive your past sins, to blot it out, to make you a child of God and then by faith, you follow Him every day. He will write His laws in your heart, telling you what He wants you to do. He will give you His Holy Spirit to guide you, inside of you. Because you believe in Jesus, you LISTEN to the Spirit of God inside of you and you obey. You ask Him for His guidance and He will guide you in everything. The first thing is to turn away from sin, turn away from the things of the world because you don't belong to the kingdom of the world any more, you belong to the Kingdom of God and now you are interested in the Kingdom of God and not in this world.
You need to be led by the Holy Spirit or else you will be led by your mind, it will take you back into the world. Your mind must be set on Christ and on pleasing Him and then you will be led by the Holy spirit, YOU WILL NOT SIN because you are focused on Jesus and His Spirit will guide you into that which is pleasing to Him. You cannot be part of the world and have worldly aspirations and plans, you need to set your mind on Christ, deny yourself every day, not follow your own mind but pray and ask Jesus what He, the King, wants you to do today and you live your life that way until the very end. That is what it means to be a disciple. Its not taking on religion. That is what it means to walk by faith, it means that you set your sight on Jesus and you get your guidance from His Holy Spirit, and if you do not have the Holy Spirit then you cannot follow Jesus and if you do not LISTEN to the Holy Spirit and OBEY the Holy Spirit, YOUR FAITH IS DEAD. Its useless, its no good because you are not believing, you are not LIVING UNDER THE GUIDANCE of the Holy Spirit. If you go on like everybody else goes on in this world, you cannot be part of the Kingdom of God.
You need to get your focus on Jesus, pray all the time, seek your guidance from Him, every day of your life and live a life that is pleasing to Him. It is not living according to a book or to a set of rules. It is BEING LED BY THE SPIRIT OF GOD. If we do not have the Spirit of God, the Holy Spirit, we DO NOT BELONG TO HIM! We must be led by the Holy Spirit, deny ourselves every day, deny your own mind, your own thinking, your common sense, and listen to the Holy Spirit and He will guide you into all truth, but you need to DENY YOURSELF WILLFULLY. You turn away from it, it is not TAKEN away from you. You have made up your mind before you started following Jesus:”Lord I want to follow You, I will not go after my own desires. I want to be part of Your Kingdom, I want to serve You.” The more you trust Jesus, the more you seek Him, the more real He becomes to you. He becomes your life, becomes your reality, He becomes your King, you become part of the Kingdom of God. That is what discipleship means, a spiritual real relationship with your King, your Lord and your Master where you DO what is pleasing to Him.
May Jesus bless you.

Eternal Hell and Damnation

It is destined for man to die once and thereafter to face judgment.  There are only two final destinations where souls will end up.  The one is in Heaven, having eternal life with Jesus in the presence of God and the other is eternal damnation in the lake of fire.  Nobody talked about HELL as much as Jesus did and Jesus is the only One who really knew what hell looked like.  
When people die, the souls of those who died in Christ, who knew Jesus Christ, who had repented of sin and lived in holiness and obedience to Him, They await judgment unto eternal life but those who were disobedient to Christ, who loved sin and the pleasures of sin, they go into hell where they will wait for final judgment.  Jesus gave us a glimpse of what HELL looks like when He told the parable of Lazarus and the rich man. I read it in Luke 16:19-31 "Now there was a certain rich man, and he habitually dressed in purple and fine linen, joyously living in splendor every day. And a poor man named Lazarus was laid at his gate, covered with sores, and longing to be fed with the crumbs which were falling from the rich man's table; besides, even the dogs were coming and licking his sores. Now it came about that the poor man died and was carried away by the angels to Abraham's bosom; and the rich man also died and was buried. And in Hades he lifted up his eyes, being in torment, and saw Abraham far away and Lazarus in his bosom. And he cried out and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus so that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool off my tongue, for I AM IN AGONY IN THIS FLAME. But Abraham said, child, remember that during your life you received your good things, and likewise Lazarus bad things; but now he is being comforted here, and you are in agony. And besides all this, between us and you there is a giant chasm fixed, in order that those who WISH to come over from here to you may not be able, and that none may cross over from there to us. And he said, then I beg you, father, that you send him to my father's house for I have five brothers, in order that he may warn them, lest they also come to this place of torment But Abraham said, they have Moses and the Prophets; let them hear them But he said, No, father Abraham, but if someone goes to them from the dead, they will repent! But he said to him, if they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, neither will they be persuaded if someone rises from the dead.'" 
If you use an online Bible such as bible.cc and you type in HELL you will find so many entrees where Jesus spoke about HELL and that HE WARNED.  He said that if a man looks at a woman to lust after her, he has already committed adultery in his heart. And if your eye makes you stumble, IT IS BETTER TO PLUCK IT OUT AND LET ONE OF YOUR MEMBERS PERISH THAN THAT YOUR WHOLE BODY ENDS UP IN HELL.  Hell is a terrible place and nobody will come out of hell.  THERE IS NO PURGATORY, THERE IS NO WAY OUT.  That is where souls wait for the final judgment.  From the parable of Lazarus and the rich man we find out how terrible hell is.  The rich man WISHED that Lazarus would just WET THE TIP OF HIS TONGUE WITH A DROP OF WATER BECAUSE HE WAS IN AGONY IN THAT FLAME.  We read about the nature of the second death, the final destination after judgment we read that in Revelation 20:10 “And the devil who deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are also; and they will be TORMENTED DAY and NIGHT FOREVER and EVER.”  
There will be a white Throne judgment and we will all stand before that judgment Throne of Christ.  I read in verse Revelation 20:11-15 “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. And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the Throne, and the 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. And 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. THEN DEATH AND HADES WERE THROWN INTO THE LAKE OF FIRE. THIS IS THE SECOND DEATH, THE LAKE OF FIRE. AND IF ANYONE'S NAME WAS NOT FOUND WRITTEN IN THE BOOK OF LIFE, HE WAS THROWN INTO THE LAKE OF FIRE.” We have read about the nature of the lake of fire, :10 “And He says: THEY WILL BE TORMENTED DAY AND NIGHT FOREVER AND EVER.” There will be no end to the torment of those ending up in the lake of fire.  Dear friends, hell is real. 
Jesus gave many people revelations of hell and we often wonder about the credibility of those visions whether they are real. One night the Lord spoke to me and I heard these words: “HELL TO HEAVEN, BAXTER.”  I did not know what it was about, it happened twice.  I went on the internet and I found the testimony of Mary K Baxter who had a revelation of hell. Now friends if somebody else had told me to read that book or to read that video then I would have been extremely skeptical but it was not a human, it was not a man or a woman who told me that.  Jesus Himself told me about that testimony and I listened to the testimony and I got the FRIGHT of my life because it was confirmed by God and I want to advise you to go and read or listen to the testimony of Mary K Baxter.  I put the links onto this video and you can go and download it for free.    http://spiritlessons.com/Mary_K_Baxter_A_Divine_Revelation_of_Hell.htm  But dear friends, HELL IS REAL, it is no joke. We must be prepared, if our names are NOT written in the Book of Life then we will end up in eternal damnation.  THERE IS NO WAY OUT.  THERE IS NO PURGATORY.  There is no escape for those who disobey Jesus Christ.  Now is the time to prepare.  Now is the time to prepare for judgment day.  NO SINNERS will go into Heaven and NOT ONE SIN will be excused.  We must be pure and holy.  The only One who can take away our sins is JESUS CHRIST HIMSELF, nobody else, nobody can give eternal Life but JESUS.  Every knee will bow before Him and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord and Jesus alone decides who will have eternal life.  GET TO KNOW JESUS.  Turn away from sin, repent of sin.  Go on your knees and cry out to Jesus with all that is within you.  Confess every sin that you have ever done in your life with REMORSE and TURN AWAY from that sin and cry out to Jesus for MERCY UNTIL you KNOW that you found forgiveness.  Cry out to Jesus until He reveals Himself to you and then you need to stay with Jesus.  You need to live a life that is pleasing to Him.  He will reveal Himself to you as REAL.  If you seek Him you will find Him.  If you don’t seek Him you will end up in eternal HELL dear friend, eternal damnation.  Now is the time to get right with God and to STAY RIGHT, to live a life that is pleasing to Jesus.  It is not just a once of occasion where you get to know Jesus and you have your sins forgiven.  It is a LIFE DEDICATED TO JESUS CHRIST in UTTER OBEDIENCE TO HIM.  A life of holiness and obedience to Jesus Christ.  We have the opportunity to spend eternity in Heaven and if we don’t use that we will definitely end up in eternal damnation, forever and ever.  Dear friend, now is the time to prepare.  Go on your knees and cry out to Jesus, GET TO KNOW HIM before it is too late.  SEEK HIM and YOU WILL FIND HIM.  
May Jesus bless you.

JESUS DELIVERED ME FROM SMOKING

There are some things we don't like to talk about, and those are our failures in life. I want to talk about this one, because it was a problem to me. When I got back-slidden and I went away from Jesus, one of the bad things I did - I started smoking. And I regretted it, but I smoked for 12 years, the time that I was away from the Lord. But when I came back to Jesus, I wanted to stop smoking with all my heart.
The other sins that beset me were easy to set apart - I just stopped doing them, but people, I could not stop smoking, I could not kick the habit. I had tried so many times in my life before that to stop smoking, and then I was desperate to stop smoking because here I am, I've come back to Jesus - I've repented with all my heart, and I said"Lord, I want to serve you with all my heart,
but I got this stinking cigarette."
And I smoked a pipe and all kinds of trash, but I couldn't stop smoking, and it ate at me. I didn't have confidence to pray anymore because all I tried, I just could not. It was a demon that was in me, the smoke was - it had me.
It affected my life as a Christian, as a disciple, because I'm dedicated to Jesus, but I can't kick the habit. And I cried to God and said,
"Lord Jesus, please help me, I want to stop smoking."
The more I prayed and the more I cried, the harder it became and I couldn't stop smoking. It was just like an insurmountable problem to me.
Until one day I gave up and said,"Lord, I love You, and You know my heart -I want to serve You with all my life, and if I'm going to die smoking, that's fine with me, but you know I love You and I want to follow You with all my heart.
I got my eyes off the smoke and my eyes onto Jesus. It was about a day or so later, two days, I cannot remember, I walked into a collegue's office and he said to me -
"Jan, why do you smoke?"
I said, "Man, I hate it."
He said, "Well, why don't you just stop?"
I said, "What do you mean?"
He says, "Well, take that cigarette and tell it -I don't need you, I don't want you, get away from me."
It sounds silly because I tried to stop smoking so many times before. I walked out and over to my office, and I sat there and I took this packet of cigarettes and I said - "You're not my boss anymore, Jesus is my boss."
I put it down and I never smoked again.
The smoke left me, I didn't stop, that smoke demon left me because I got my eyes on Jesus. Where previously if I tried to stop smoking, I just had to put away all tobacco products from me, and if people smoked close to me,
then I got the craving.
I had no craving!
I had no withdrawal symptoms.
I never craved for smoking again.
Previously, I'd stop smoking for a few days,then somebody smokes a cigar in front of me, and then I could be, like, puffing, inhaling his smoke.
It was gone!
The smoke had left me.
My Friends, Jesus sets us free, but when we've got our eye on our problem, then our problem becomes big, HUGE - it becomes bigger than Christ. When we set our eyes on Christ to glorify Him and to satisfy Him, then these other things fall away like dirty rags. And I thank God not just for delivering me, just saying, "Lord, please deliver me from the smoke, and puff it goes - no.
He made me suffer, because we learn from what we suffer, and I suffered.
What I also learned from this is that many Christians are hypocrites, and I was a hypocrite.
Because they think, well, I've never sinned and I'm better than that guy - I was like that. But I had to come low to realize that I'm nothing, man, and that it is all about Jesus! I had to be addicted to that thing to realize only Jesus can set me free. It is not about anything else but about the Lordship of Jesus Christ, putting Him first in our lives, and then He delivers us from everything
The other thing is it's not because you don't smoke that God loves, it's because you are pure in heart. It doesn't bring you closer to God if you can attain your own holiness, no. It's obedience that matters in the sight of God,and I had to learn first that I could not make myself acceptable to God by stopping smoking - I couldn't!
I couldn't help myself!
But when I handed it all over and I said - "Lord, I love you any way," He
delivered me because He loves me. I'm nothing, My Friends - Jesus is everything.
My testimony is about Jesus and what Jesus has done for me and what He will do for you if you trust Him - it's not about me.
Me, I'm a failure, but Jesus has picked me up and Jesus can use any old vessel that makes himself available to Christ, but we must come with a pure heart and submit ourselves to Christ. You don't need to kick the habit - it will leave you by itself. Just get your eyes on Jesus, My Friend.
May Jesus Bless You.

Why Jesus does not heal amputees

There are people that argue that Jesus does not heal amputees. Jesus did not come to heal amputees, He came to take away the sins of the world. What He did say was that if your eye or your hand makes you sin it is better to remove those, than for your whole body to end up in hell.
I read His words from Matthew 5:28 “I say to you that everyone who looks on a woman to lust for her has committed adultery with her already in his heart. 29If your right eye makes you stumble, tear it out and throw it from you; for it is better for you that one of the parts of your body perish, than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. 30“and if your right hand makes you stumble, cut it off and throw it from you; for it is better for you that one of the parts of your body perish, than for your whole body to go into hell.”
The reason why Jesus did miracles that nobody else before Him ever did was to prove to the unbelieving that He was indeed the Son of God, the Messiah that was expected to come. But many did not believe in Him as many do not believe in Him today. Our life on this earth is very short and then we die, and this body perishes, but what matters is what happens to our soul after we die. THE SOUL THAT SINS WILL PERISH and we must get rid of sin. Jesus came to take away the guilt of sin and to deliver us from the power of sin so that we can be holy and pure and that we can spend eternity with Him in heaven.
Dear friend, Jesus wants you and me to have eternal life and that is why He came and He died. And if we turn away from sin, we repent, we plead His forgiveness and we obey Him, we can have eternal life. It is not our limbs and our bodies that are important, it is our eternal souls! Call on Jesus and ask Him to forgive your sins, seek Him with all your heart, get to know Him for real and He will give you eternal life, IF you stay with Him until the very end.
Jesus is alive! He arose from the grave, HE IS ALIVE! Call on Him, pray and He will answer you. He will reveal Himself to you as real. Jesus will decide who will go into heaven and who not. If He does not know you, and He does not know me, we will not go into that very, very narrow door when we die. Get to know Jesus, friend, before it is too late!
May Jesus bless you.

Is Whitney Houston in heaven or in hell?

Many people are speculating now whether Whitney Houston is in Heaven or in hell.  I have been to many funerals where I knew the person that died was not right with God and the preacher would say that that man lying in the gasket is now with Jesus and the angels, his troubles are over.  But that preacher is a liar because he cannot know that.  A friend of mine passed away and then I had a dream about this man.  He got to Heaven and he got to the pearly gates and he said: "Lord Jesus, I am here" and a Voice said to him:  "WHO ARE YOU?"  He said his name and a Voice from the inside said: "I DON’T KNOW YOU, GO AWAY."  That woke me up and I realized that I had to make sure that when I die that Jesus would know me.
 Jesus loves us and He cares for us but if we love Him then we will OBEY HIM and then we will work on our relationship with Him.
Jesus can talk and He will CONFIRM to us whether He is pleased with us or not.  It is important that we make sure that our relationship with Jesus is right, because if we do not know Him and we do not love Him: What do we want to go and do in Heaven for eternity with Him?  He will not force us.  He will send us to be with our friends who hated Him and we know where they will be, in hell.  Dear friend, do you know Jesus and does Jesus know you? What will Jesus say to you when you die and when you come to that Narrow Gate?  You can be sure now.  Go on your knees  and cry out to Jesus, ask Him to forgive your sins, ask Him to accept you as a child of God and STOP SINNING.  Seek Jesus with all your heart and you will find Him.  Now is the time, don’t wait until people wonder where you are, whether you are in Heaven or in hell.
May Jesus bless you.

I was brainwashed by religion - My Testimony

I grew up in a Christian home and I got to know Jesus, for real, very early in my life, when I was still a little boy but then I got brainwashed by religion. I got drawn away from Jesus and I believed what people told me. Although I was serious, and very serious, I was deceived. There are many people who are extremely serious who are extremely deceived also because they are so serious. They believe the wrong things, they trust what people tell them.
I believed all the LIES that religion tells you, lies like: THE BIBLE IS THE INERRANT WORD OF GOD, that  YOU MUST BELONG TO A CHURCH, that YOU MUST HAVE FELLOWSHIP WITH OTHER CHRISTIANS, that YOU MUST SUBMIT YOURSELF TO THE LEADERSHIP OF THE CHURCH. I believed those things. But very soon I saw that those people who preached those things did not live them and I got disillusioned. Then I blamed God  and I went away from God. See, I got my eyes off Jesus and I started looking at people, and then by His mercy  the Lord Jesus revealed Himself to me and called me back. Then I decided I will not be deceived again  by people. I got out of church because that was where the people are, where the deception is, and I decided that I will research the scriptures for myself to find the truth and I spent a lot of time searching the scriptures, reading the Bible from Genesis to Revelation to find the truth but I found that I only found MY INSIGHT OF WHAT I BELIEVED WAS THE TRUTH, the bible.
Dear friends, the bible is NOT THE TRUTH, JESUS CHRIST HIMSELF IS THE WAY AND THE LIFE AND THE TRUTH. The bible is not the inerrant word of God, it is a book, written by people, who, some of them, knew God, but it was translated and rewritten by many people who really did not know God. They were utilitarians  and they still are modifying the scriptures according to their insight along linguistic lines, not under guidance of the Holy Spirit, and people are brainwashed to believe the words that those people write there. You see, they are not busy with Jesus, they are brainwashed into believing a book and that is NOT what Jesus called us to do. HE CALLED US TO FOLLOW HIM!
But then Jesus opened my eyes. I started reading the words of Jesus in the gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke and John) and I said:”Lord, if this is true, that a man must be led by the Holy Spirit, then this is what I want! Nothing else!” Jesus said:”My sheep LISTEN to my voice and they follow Me.”(John 10:27)  I said:”Lord, I want to hear Your voice, and I want to follow You!” Paul wrote:”Those who are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.”(Romans 8:14) I read in the gospel of John that Jesus promised the Holy Spirit to guide us into all truth. I said:”Lord, then that is what I need!” I had been brainwashed, I have been listening to people. I believed in the Bible, I didn't believe in Jesus. I was not following the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Even though I got to know Jesus as a little boy, I never trusted Him. I NEVER FOLLOWED HIM, I WAS BUSY WITH THE BIBLE! I was busy with doctrines, with people, my eyes were not on Jesus! I was brainwashed like so many people in this world. RELIGIOUS PEOPLE ARE BRAINWASHED BY RELIGION. Dear friend, all we need is Jesus Christ and Him alone – Jesus must be our reality. He sent us the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of TRUTH to guide us into the WHOLE TRUTH and if we do not trust and follow and obey the Holy Spirit we cannot know Jesus, it is impossible, you can only KNOW ABOUT HIM but you can only KNOW JESUS through REVELATION under the guidance of His Spirit.
If you want to spend eternity with Jesus then you must get to know Him and trust Him right now.  You must be led by the Holy Spirit right now and keep on following Him for ever.  Never turn away from Him, never trust a man, never trust a book, don’t trust the Bible, don’t trust what people tell you, TRUST JESUS.  Put all your trust in Him and that is what is written in the Bible.  "TRUST in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding."  Jesus cannot let you FAIL.  He guides your footsteps, He teaches you understanding, if you TRUST HIM. If you SERIOUSLY SEEK HIM, and not people, and your own understanding and your own truth.  JESUS ALONE is the WAY and the LIFE and the TRUTH, there is NO OTHER.  GET TO KNOW JESUS friend. I was brainwashed but He opened my eyes and now I FOLLOW JESUS and I TRUST HIM. And I want to take your hand and put your hand into the Hand of JESUS.  Friend, put your hand in the hand of Jesus.  Fix your sight on Him and seek Him with all your heart and He will guide you. Jesus alone is the Way and the life and the Truth.  There is no other. DON’T BE BRAINWASHED.  GET TO KNOW JESUS and FOLLOW HIM.
May Jesus bless you.

Persue Holiness - What does it mean?

Without holiness no man will see God. God is holy and if we want to come into His presence, we ourselves need to be pure and holy and without sin.  No sinners will go into Heaven, and therefore the writer of Hebrew writes in Hebrew 12:14 “Pursue peace with all men, and sanctification without which no man will see God.” Some other translations say: “Make every effort to live in peace with all men and to be holy, for without holiness no one will see the Lord.”  If we want to enter the Kingdom of Heaven and if we want to live in the presence of God we must SEPARATE ourselves unto Him and be holy. We must TURN AWAY from SIN.  We must turn away from the things of the world that can DEFILE us, contaminate us, make us dirty.  It is easy to become dirty, it is easy to lose our focus.  It takes extreme effort to be pure and holy.  If we go into the wrong places, if we keep the wrong company then we will be drawn to the things of the world.  So to be holy means that you separate yourself, you make every effort to stay away from anything that can take you away from God.  You stop sinning, you break your ties with the wrong friends, even if it is your own family because you must decide whether you want to be a child of God or whether you want to end up in hell.  All of us must make that decision because without holiness no man will see God. You focus on Jesus and do those things that are pleasing to Him.  You are not interested in the football game anymore, you don’t drink beer with your friends, you don’t watch TV, you don’t allow filthy things before your eyes.  You turn away from lustful things and those things that will take your focus of Jesus and you keep yourself clean and pure or else you cannot come into the presence of God.  Jesus said that those who are PURE IN HEART they WILL SEE GOD.
If we are NOT PURE in our hearts we will not hear from God, we will not live in the presence of God.  But if we PURIFY ourselves of the defilements of the flesh and we keep our mind and our body pure and holy, this here (our body) is a temple of the Holy Spirit.  If we keep this temple clean, this body, then the Spirit of God comes and lives in us and He reveals Himself to us.  But if we allow filth and the devil in here we have no relationship with Jesus and we don’t receive revelation from God because we don’t seek it.  If we are not pure and holy we will not hear the voice of Jesus. We will not have a relationship with Him and He will turn us away.  He will say to us one day: "Go away I never knew you."
Without holiness no man will see God.  Whoever wants to be a friend of the world, makes themselves an ENEMY OF GOD.  We need to turn away from those things, don’t go along with those things.  It is a lonely road, no impure thing will come into the presence of God.  We have to now already live in the presence of God, through the Holy Spirit living in us, or else we will not go into Heaven, we will not have eternal life.  We must be pure and holy to have a relationship with Jesus.
We must SEEK that relationship all the time.  It takes EXTREME EFFORT, you SEPARATE yourself, you do not go and watch TV, you go and PRAY, you go and WAIT ON THE LORD, you go and LISTEN and HE WILL TALK to you and HE WILL GUIDE you into those things that are PLEASING TO HIM.  But if you have NO DESIRE FOR JESUS and you have a desire for FILTH and the things of the WORLD then you will never hear Him, you will never see Him and you will never enter the Kingdom of Heaven.
There is no salvation for those who are IMPURE, for those who LOVE the WORLD and who INDULGE IN SIN.  We must be PURE and HOLY and SEEK JESUS all the time, all the time.  We must RESERVE ourselves unto Jesus.  If we seek Him, we will find Him.  He is the Way, the Truth and the Life, without Him, there is no life.
May Jesus bless you.

CHURCHES - DUNG PILES FULL OF ROTTEN SINNING HYPOCRITES

Churches are rotten manure piles full of stinking dung.  Jesus said that you are the salt of the earth but if the salt has lost it saltiness, it is good for nothing, you can only throw it on the manure pile.  Churches do not stand up for RIGHTEOUSNESS, they DO NOT PREACH the TRUTH that can save souls.  They do not only DO but they heartily APPROVE those things that GOD HATES.  They bless wars, they don’t speak out against abortion, they bless it.  All the things that God hates is approved of in these churches and then they call themselves the Body of Christ.  They are the dwelling place of SATAN.  If they would speak the TRUTH then they would be persecuted, they would be rejected but they are PART of the world, they are WICKED, they are FILTHY, they are full of SINNERS from the pulpit right to the back. They are the dwelling place of SATAN.  The WRATH OF GOD comes on men for sin and wickedness.  The wrath of God will come on these churches for their wickedness also because they are leading people astray.  They are promising them salvation which they themselves do not have.  They themselves do not know Jesus Christ.  If you know Jesus and if you are a child of God, you are PURE and HOLY.  Jesus does not live in those dung piles that they call churches.  Judgment is starting in the House of God, if you are in one of those dung piles and if you support them with your money then you are an accomplice and the judgment of God will come on you also.  Dear friend, are you part of the Body of Christ who walks in holiness and who obeys Jesus Christ or are you part of the dung pile? Because if you are there then judgment of God will come on you also.  COME OUT from amongst them and be HOLY and Jesus will accept you as a child of God but if you stay there the WRATH OF GOD will come on you also.  Without holiness no man will see God.  Are you pure and holy? Are you in a relationship with Jesus or are you part of the dung pile?
May Jesus bless you.

Testing the Holy Spirit

Many believers are doing a very, very foolish thing and that is, they DOUBT the HOLY SPIRIT that Jesus sent to guide us into all truth.  JESUS PROMISED us the HOLY SPIRIT, the HELPER to guide us into all truth.  I read from John 14:26 “Jesus said:“But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My Name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you.” I also read John 15:26 “When the Helper comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, that is the Spirit of Truth who proceeds from the Father, He will bear witness of Me.” Many believers DO NOT TRUST the HOLY SPIRIT, they don’t want the Holy Spirit. They trust the Bible, they trust their preachers but they don’t trust the Holy Spirit.  They say they test the Spirits by using the Bible.  Can we test the SPIRIT OF TRUTH, when Jesus said that the Spirit of Truth will guide us into all truth and will TEACH us, will tell us all things?  Now we DOUBT the Spirit of Truth that Jesus sent to guide us and we are testing Him?  It is a sin to test God.  The Holy Spirit is the SPIRIT OF GOD and now people foolishly want to TEST the Holy Spirit.  Any Spirit or anybody that does not bring you CLOSER to JESUS, to RIGHTEOUSNESS and to HOLINESS,  that is not the Spirit of God, but it is a grave mistake to DOUBT the HOLY SPIRIT.  We must seek Jesus in PRAYER and ask Him for the Holy Spirit and He will give us the Spirit of Truth.
  We must TRUST HIM and KEEP ON PRAYING AND He will guide us into all truth.  But if we DO NOT PRAY and KEEP ON PRAYING and we DO NOT TRUST HIM, in the first place we will NEVER GET TO KNOW JESUS, and we will NOT FIND THE TRUTH.  We must not be foolish friends.  JESUS IS ALIVE!  The Bible TALKS ABOUT JESUS but we must GET TO KNOW JESUS.  Don’t be foolish.  Get to know Jesus. Trust the Holy Spirit and He will guide you into all truth.
May Jesus bless you.

Do not work for satan

We are a slave and a servant to the one whom we serve, the one to whom we make ourselves available. We can either serve ourselves or we can serve Jesus, or we make ourselves available to the devil. Many believers make themselves available to the devil without knowing it and he channels his evil powers through them. If we hate other people, if we gossip, if we have bitterness towards others then we allow the wicked power of satan to work through us and that wickedness poisons us, because now we are working for the devil and it affects those people whom we direct that hatred or gossip or slander to. It affects them also, so we become servants of satan.
If we obey Jesus then we will love our enemies, not attack other people, not think badly of them, but we will allow the love of Jesus to work through us. Love will cover a multitude of sins. There are many believers who make it a practice of exposing other people, they are breaking down their brothers and sisters in Christ. They are working for the devil, they are instruments in the hands of satan and they themselves are guilty of sin. They are destroying the kingdom of God.
Do not allow the devil to use you! Forgive others and you will find forgiveness, bless others and you will be blessed, give and you will receive! Do what Jesus told us to do. Do not allow the devil to use you.
May Jesus bless you.
