Bible study will not save you

The world is besotted, chasing after knowledge. People believe that knowledge is power and that is why believers go after Bible knowledge. They think that Bible knowledge will give them eternal life. Bible knowledge does not help you to get into the kingdom of heaven. IT IS NOT WHAT YOU KNOW, IT IS WHOM YOU KNOW and WHO KNOWS YOU. Many people think that if they have qualifications they will get a high powered job and then they only find out later IT DEPENDS ON WHO KNOWS YOU. That determines whether you get the job or not. In the kingdom of Heaven it depends on whether Jesus Christ knows you, because He will say to many people in that day :”Go away I never knew you.” They will say:”Lord we preached, we had churches, we did many things in Your name.” And He will say:”Go away I never knew you. You workers of wickedness.” The question is: DOES JESUS CHRIST KNOW YOU? AND DOES HE KNOW ME? If Jesus does not know us there is no way that we will enter into the kingdom of Heaven. You don't get to know Jesus through Bible study. You get to know Him when you fall on your knees and you seek Him with all your heart, and He will reveal Himself to you. If you know Jesus you will fear Him, you will respect Him and you will obey Him. You will SIN NO MORE. You will seek more and more of Him, more and more of His revelation in your life. You will want to be sure every moment, that Jesus is still pleased with you. Do you know Jesus Christ and does Jesus know you? His sheep listen to His voice and they follow Him. Do you know His voice? Do you LISTEN to Him and do you FOLLOW Him? Or are you busy with Bible study? You need to know Jesus Christ and He needs to know you! May Jesus bless you.

You don't need a Bible to follow Jesus

You do not need a Bible to follow Jesus Christ. In reality their knowledge of the Bible and their interpretation of the Bible prevents most believers from following Jesus Christ because they depend on their knowledge, they depend on their insight and they are not led by the Holy Spirit. We can only please God if we are led by the Spirit of God. As Paul also wrote in Romans 8:14 “Those who are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.” You cannot please Jesus if you are not listening to His Spirit, if you are not guided by His Holy Spirit. If we do not have the Spirit of Christ, the Holy Spirit living in us, guiding us then we cannot be pleasing to Him, then we do not belong to Him. We are united with Jesus Christ through His Spirit that dwells in us and that guides us. The Spirit ALONE gives life. I few trust in what we hear, what we read in the Bible then our faith is based on hearsay and on interpretation and not on our obedience to Jesus, our relationship with Him; then we are not following Him. We must PRAY, WAIT on Him and be led by the Holy Spirit to be pleasing to Him. YOU DON'T NEED A BIBLE TO FOLLOW JESUS, YOU NEED HIS SPIRIT. After you have read the Bible, after you have heard of Jesus Christ YOU NEED TO GET TO KNOW JESUS. You need to seek Him until you find Him and then you have to follow Him or else He will say to you one day:”Go away I never knew you.” You can know the Bible by heart but if you are not led by the Spirit of God you do not belong to Him. The Bible does not prove the existence or the reality of Jesus Christ. The POWER of Jesus Christ in those who follow Him PROVES THAT THE BIBLE IS THE TRUTH. It is all about Jesus Christ, nothing else. All you need is Jesus Christ and His Holy Spirit to guide you every step of the way. May Jesus bless you.

How is your most vital relationship?

Salvation is a relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ, the King of kings and the Lord of lords. He will accept us as His bride if WE COMPLY WITH HIS REQUIREMENTS. If we accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Master, REPENT of sin, cleans ourselves of all unrighteousness, show fruit of repentance, are baptized in water then He will give us the baptism in the Holy Spirit as an engagement ring, as a token from Him of His acceptance. It is only if we ENDURE UNTIL THE END OF OUR LIVES and we remain FAITHFUL to Him, DOING what is pleasing to Him that we will have the eventual prize, our unification with Him, ETERNAL LIFE. But if we are unfaithful to Him and if we go back to sin, if we love the things of the world and we cheat on Jesus, we will GET CUT OFF, He will reject us because then we are not suitable as a bride for Christ. He is coming for a pure and clean bride. He will not accept a fornicating unfaithful bride. That is the relationship that you enter into, you attach yourself to Jesus Christ. He is faithful, He will not cheat on you but if we deny Him and we cheat on Him, He says He will certainly DENY US. You can believe that you are saved but if you do not have that confirmation of the Holy Spirit and constantly have that confirmation where He confirms to you that He is pleased with you then you are in danger of eternal hell. Jesus requires of us to be in that close relationship with Him where we are led by His Spirit all the time; where He guides us, teaches us, coaches us and prepares us to be a suitable bride. Are you in that close relationship with Jesus where you hear His voice, listen to Him, seek His approval all the time and where you keep yourself from sin, where you keep yourself holy and totally dedicated unto Him? Are you in that relationship? Are you that close to Jesus. If not, then you do not have hope of salvation. May Jesus bless you.

Come Closer

It is wonderful how the Lord speaks to us, even in our sleep, if we are tuned in to Him and to His Holy Spirit. Last night I was dreaming, I was looking intently at something but I could not make it out properly so the voice said to me:”Come closer and you will see.” And then I woke up. I wake up every night when the Lord calls me to pray. Then the Holy Spirit said to me:”Come closer and then you will know Me better!” We have to come closer to know Jesus better but people are looking for Jesus in the wrong place. Many are looking for Him in the scriptures, in the Bible as Jesus also said and is written in John 5:39,40. “You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; it is these that testify about Me; and you are unwilling to come to Me so that you may have life.” We find Jesus when we draw closer to Him, when we seek Him in prayer and we are constantly focused on Him, when we have Jesus on our mind, all day. We don't find Him other places, not with books, videos, reading the Bible, with other people, no. We find Him when we come closer to Him, when we seek Him. He says:”Draw closer to Me and I will draw closer to you.”He spoke by the mouth of the psalmist, king David: Psalm 32:8,9 "I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you should go; I will counsel you with My eye upon you. 9Do not be as the horse or as the mule which have no understanding, Whose trappings include bit and bridle to hold them in check, Otherwise they will not come near to you.” Do you need a bit and a bridle to get you close to Jesus? Or do you seek Him? Do you have a desire to be with Jesus? We only get to know Jesus if we come closer to Him, if we seek Him in prayer, always. There is no other place to seek Him. There is no other place to find Him. We must seek Him with all our heart. Our mind must always be on Him and then He will reveal Himself to us. Come closer to Jesus and He will come closer to you. May Jesus bless you.

No Shortcuts - No easy way

There is no shortcut, no easy way into the kingdom of Heaven. There is only One Way and His Name is Jesus Christ. Many people think that they can find themselves a nice church, they can find themselves a nice doctrine that suits them, they think they can bypass Jesus Christ but there is only ONE WAY that you can enter into the kingdom of Heaven and have eternal life and that is by OBEYING and FOLLOWING Jesus Christ on the NARROW WAY, by denying yourself, picking up your cross and following Him, every day until the very end. The reason why most believers will not make it through the Narrow Door into the kingdom of Heaven is because they did not try, they did not compete according to the rules, they did not deny themselves and follow Jesus every day. There is no easy way. The words of Jesus are the gospel of the Kingdom. If you want to enter the Kingdom of God and have eternal life you have to OBEY THE WORDS OF JESUS as written in the gospels also, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. There is no other way, Jesus Christ alone is the way. May Jesus bless you.

The Choice

God is in control of the entire universe but He has given man a free will and we can decide whether we do what we please or whether we submit ourselves to the will of God and become part of His kingdom. If we refuse to submit to God we will perish. If we repent and accept Jesus Christ as our King, Lord and Master and we OBEY Him we become part of the kingdom of God and then we will reign with Him. If we rebel against Him and we reject Jesus Christ we will perish. The choice is ours. Will we submit to the will of God or will we reject Jesus Christ as Lord and Master? Because then we will perish. We have that opportunity now to submit to Jesus, to SERVE Him as Lord and then we will be part of His Kingdom. Will you serve Jesus as Lord or will you perish? May Jesus bless you.

Calvinism - Doctrine from satan

Calvinism, just like other doctrines of men, is a deception that leads people away from the truth, the words of Jesus Christ, and it will cause them to end up in eternal hell. Jesus spoke of these teachings of men in Matthew 15:6 “you invalidated the word of God for the sake of your tradition. 7“You hypocrites, rightly did Isaiah prophesy of you: 8‘THIS PEOPLE HONORS ME WITH THEIR LIPS, BUT THEIR HEART IS FAR AWAY FROM ME.9‘BUT IN VAIN DO THEY WORSHIP ME, TEACHING AS DOCTRINES THE PRECEPTS OF MEN.’” The only words that can save us are the words of Jesus Christ as recorded in the gospels, Mathew, Mark, Luke and John. If we do not obey those words we will perish. Calvinists go after the teachings of John Calvin that include lies and deception inherited from the Roman Catholic church. He also included the false doctrine of pre-election. Calvinists all believe that they are elected, they are God's elect and they are saved. That is a lie from satan. They do infant baptism which Jesus Christ did not command. He commanded us to repent and be baptized in water for the forgiveness of our sins and then to seek the baptism in the Holy Spirit, the Holy Spirit that He sent to guide us into all truth. He did not send us doctrines of men to guide us, He sent us His very own Holy Spirit to be with us until the very end. But people reject the Holy Spirit in favor of the doctrines of men. You need to repent, turn away from sin, be baptized in water, embrace Jesus Christ with all your heart and seek the baptism in the Holy Spirit. His Spirit will live in you and will guide you into all truth. He will remind you of the words of Jesus as also written in the gospels Mathew, Mark, Luke and John, because those words are the words by which we will be judged. There is no pre-election. Jesus said we must endure until the very end because many will try hard but will not be able to find the narrow door into the kingdom of Heaven. Do not believe these lies but seek Jesus and seek the guidance of His Holy Spirit that He sent to guide you and me into all righteousness. Jesus did not desert us, He sent His Holy Spirit to guide us. Seek the Spirit of God, LISTEN to Him and OBEY Him and you will LIVE. May Jesus bless you.

Power and Victory

Our struggle is not against flesh and blood but against evil forces and principalities. The devil is a liar and a thief and he operates through lies. He steals from us by lying to us and we believe those lies. The misinformation that we get in the media and from other people, the lies that we believe and react on. Those are the lies that destroy us but Jesus came to bring us deliverance, to make us free and He makes available the Spirit of Truth, the Holy Spirit to those who seek Him and who follow Him. If you accept Jesus as your Lord and Master then you LISTEN to the Holy Spirit. His Spirit inside of you will guide you into all truth and will keep you from the snares, the traps of the devil. If we ask our wisdom from Jesus in prayer, He will guide us, He will tell us the truth and we will not be deceived. Our wisdom must come from God and then we will have power over satan. We will not be deceived, we will not believe lies but you need to TRUST JESUS. You need to LISTEN to the Holy Spirit. You need to pray and ask Him for wisdom and ACT on that which He tells you or else you will be defeated by the devil. You will believe lies and you will perish. TRUST in Jesus, ask Him for His Holy Spirit IN YOU. Pray and He will guide you into all truth. You will have POWER over satan and Jesus will give you the victory, IF you just LISTEN to His Holy Spirit. May Jesus bless you.

You can do it

You can do everything that Jesus requires of us. You can stop sinning, you can live holy. You can do everything that Jesus said that we must do IF YOU WANT TO, because He gives us the power to do it. You cannot do it on your own but you can do it with the power that Jesus gives you. BUT you need to WANT TO, without Jesus we can do nothing. But if we don't want to, Jesus will not force us. If we WANT TO stop sinning, if we WANT TO live godly, if we WANT TO be pleasing to Jesus He will give us all the help in the world, NOTHING WILL BE IMPOSSIBLE for us, because Jesus is with us. The only problem is that people don't WANT TO obey Jesus. We will have no excuse, the problem lies with us. If you really want to you can be pleasing to God. May Jesus bless you.

How to pray

The prayer that Jesus taught the disciples to pray was the simplest of all prayers but it includes everything that we need to pray. Firstly we give glory to God and honor and praise:”Our Father who art in Heaven, hallowed be Thy Name, Thy kingdom come...” We pray for His kingdom to come, for His will to be done, not our will. “Give us this day our daily bread...” Bread for the body, the physical but bread for the soul also. Man shall not live from bread alone but from every word that proceeds from the mouth of God. If we pray and we expect that Bread of Life, He will speak to us also and give us bread for our souls. “Forgive us our trespasses as we HAVE FORGIVEN those who have trespassed against us...” We ask forgiveness because we have also forgiven those who have sinned against us, or else we cannot expect forgiveness. “Lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil...” We ask His protection, we pray that He guide our footsteps and then we will be safe. What more do we need? That is ALL WE NEED. If we pray the Lord's prayer and TRUST Him we need nothing more because then we have prayed everything that we need to pray, but we need to TRUST HIM, not just say the words, an idle repetition of words means nothing to the Lord. If it does not come from the heart it is useless. We must pray with all our heart and it will be done for us. May Jesus bless you.

A Terrible Disappointment

Most believers will be terribly disappointed when they die and they stand before Jesus and they are rejected by Him. Many believe that they only need to believe in Jesus to have eternal life. You need to be born again to have eternal life. Many people look for miracles, signs, wonders as also the Jews did. We read in John 3:1-3.”Now there was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews; 2this man came to Jesus by night and said to Him, “Rabbi, we know that You have come from God as a teacher; for no one can do these signs that You do unless God is with him.” 3Jesus answered and said to him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, UNLESS ONE IS BORN AGAIN HE CANNOT SEE THE KINGDOM OF GOD.” How do you know that a person is born again? Jesus went on and explained to Nicodemus, John 3:8 “The wind blows where it wishes and you hear the sound of it, but do not know where it comes from and where it is going; SO IS EVERYONE WHO IS BORN OF THE SPIRIT.” A person who is born again is LED BY THE SPIRIT OF GOD AND HE DOES THE WILL OF GOD. Many people do miracles, many believers have received Spiritual gifts of healing, casting out demons and because of that they think they have eternal life. They think that they have security. Many have received the baptism in the Holy Spirit, they speak in tongues and they think that because they have the gift, they have guarantee of eternal life. Jesus requires of us that we live righteously. Many of those people will be disappointed because we read in Matthew 7:21-23 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but HE WHO DOES THE WILL OF MY FATHER who is in heaven will enter. 22“Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?’ 23“And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS.’ There are many preachers who are like this but they are practicing LAWLESSNESS. They think they have the approval of God and they think they have eternal life but they have no relationship with Jesus because JESUS HAS NO RELATIONSHIP WITH PRACTICING SINNERS. You are either led by the Holy Spirit or you are led by the flesh and you do what you please. But if you are a BORN AGAIN CHILD OF GOD you OBEY the HOLY SPIRIT. Many people think that they can buy their way into heaven. They think that if they give tithes and money to the church and to missions that they can buy themselves a spot in heaven. Jesus called us to obedience, to service, to serve Him as Lord and KING. You cannot buy off your responsibility. You have to DO what He tells you to do. You cannot serve the King and Master in your way, the way that you think. You must be led by the Holy Spirit. If you are not led by the Holy Spirit you cannot be pleasing to Jesus. A person who is born again of the Spirit of God LISTENS to the Holy Spirit. He is led by the Holy Spirit and he DOES the will of God. The kingdom of God is about SERVING Jesus Christ as LORD. You can only serve Jesus as Lord and Master and be part of His Kingdom IF you LISTEN TO and OBEY the Holy Spirit. Many people will be terribly disappointed when Jesus says to them:”Go away I never knew you.” They never served the Master, they served themselves. Jesus justifies those who OBEY Him, who live in righteousness, and who are led by His Spirit, who SERVE Him as LORD and MASTER because JESUS IS LORD. Do you serve Jesus as Lord? May Jesus bless you.

Follow Me

Jesus Christ is the Light of the world and He gives light, life, direction, hope and ETERNAL LIFE to everyone who calls on Him and who follows Him. Jesus said:”Follow Me.” Jesus is ALIVE. He gives His Holy Spirit in every person who seeks Him, His very own Spirit, His PRESENCE comes and lives in you and you just need to LISTEN and FOLLOW Him and He will guide you. You will never be in darkness, you will never be in despair because Jesus is ALIVE. Many people believe IN Jesus but they don't KNOW Jesus. Many people believe in the Bible but they don't believe what the Bible says. The Bible tells us to follow Jesus. Those people who knew Him, who followed Him, they wrote the scriptures. The apostles, Paul, Peter, John, they knew Jesus, THEY WERE LED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT, that is why they could write what they did. They knew Him for REAL. Do you KNOW Jesus for REAL? Have you ACCEPTED Him as LORD as MASTER? Are you constantly focused on Him, PRAYING, LISTENING, BEING LED by His Spirit? Or do you not really KNOW Him? You cannot follow Him if you do not KNOW Him. If you want LIFE, HOPE and DIRECTION, ETERNAL LIFE then call on Jesus. Invite Him into your life and PRAY, PRAY, PRAY! Seek Him with all your heart, repent from sin, obey Him, be baptized in water, ask Him for His Holy Spirit who will be WITH you and IN you, and STAY FOCUESD on Him. Don't listen to people. Don't try and find your own way because you will get lost. Jesus said:”Follow Me.” You can only follow Him if you have His Spirit and if you stay focused on Him. Call on Him, seek Him until you find Him and He will guide you every step of the way. May Jesus bless you.

You are not alone

We are never alone. The one who made us in our mother's womb, has been with us all along, every moment. He jealously guard over us. He cares for us and He wants us to be in relationship with Him. He knows our doubts, our fears, our joys, our expectations but only He can make our lives complete. His name is Jesus Christ. He cares for you. He is right there with you and He just wants you to reach out to Him, He is ALIVE, He is SPIRIT and He wants to give LIFE to you. You are never alone, He has not deserted you. He watches over you day and night but He wants you to invite Him into your life and to live your life to please Him. He has a wonderful plan for your life in His kingdom but you need to submit to Him. You need to trust in Him, you need to seek Him all the time as He is seeking you. He will never reject you, He will never forsake you but if you keep on ignoring Him, rejecting Him, then there will come a day when He will reject you also. Jesus is calling YOU, He is right there with you. He is calling you to turn away from a senseless existence to a life with expectation, expectation of eternal life of eternity with Him. Do not keep on rejecting Him. Invite Him into your life and you will experience His presence always with you and then you will KNOW that you are not alone. You will KNOW that your Creator has not forsaken you. His name is Jesus Christ. Call on Him now. Seek Him and He will give you peace that passes all understanding. You will never be alone again. May Jesus bless you.

911 or Jesus Christ - Where does your help come from?

Many people profess to believe in Jesus Christ but when they are in real trouble, who do they call on, 911 or Jesus Christ? The psalmist said:”My help comes from the Lord who made heaven and earth.” If we trust in Jesus then we call on Him first. The one that you call on, he will come to your rescue. If you call 911 Jesus won't help you, He will leave you to 911. But if you call on the Lord, He will come to your rescue and He will never fail you. I have been in dire situations many times in my life. Where I come from 911 is dysfunctional, if you call 911 they might come but they will come too late. Because of that I had to learn to trust in Jesus. Jesus Christ has delivered me from death countless times because I called on Him. Who do you call on when you are in trouble? 911? Do you grab a gun and try and defend yourself or do you call on Jesus? What is your first thought? Where does your help come from? From Jesus Christ or other things? The one whom you call on will come to your rescue but just make sure that you call on Jesus Christ FIRST because the other help might be too late. May Jesus bless you.

You will not get away with it

The reason that people keep on sinning and doing what they know is wrong, unrighteousness, is because they think that they can get away with it, they will not get caught out or nobody will stop them. The reason why Christians, believers, keep on sinning is because they think God has tolerance for sin. God does not tolerate any sin or disobedience. The wages of sin is death. No sinners, no immoral people, no liars, not the slightest sin will go into the kingdom of heaven. The wages of sin is death and all sinners will perish. God forgives our sin, He writes it off if we repent with remorse and we stop sinning but if we go back to sin we will perish. The apostle Paul reminds us in Romans 11:22 “Behold then the kindness and severity of God; to those who fell, severity, but to you, God’s kindness, IF YOU CONTINUE IN HIS KINDNESS; OTHERWISE YOU ALSO WILL BE CUT OFF.“ He is talking about Israel, the nation that He saved from oppression in Egypt, He cut them off. He killed them all in the wilderness because they disobeyed Him. God will also cut us off if we do not continue in His kindness. He forgives our past sin if we repent and come to Him but if we continue in sin He will cut us off. The wages of sin is death. You might get away with it in this life, you might not get caught out. You might get accepted by society, it might even be legal to abort your baby, to be immoral, but with God you will not get away with it. You will perish! Behold His severity but also His kindness over those who love Him and who OBEY Him. Do not squander His mercy but OBEY Him and live. If you sin you will die, you will perish in hell. May Jesus bless you.

Peace from above

Salvation is about being at peace with God our Creator, living in His presence with nothing separating us from Him. Sin separates us from God and Jesus Christ takes away our sin if we repent and obey Him, and then He gives us PEACE that passes all understanding. That is the confirmation that we have that we are accepted by God and that He is pleased with us. But if we do wrong then the Holy Spirit immediately convicts us of sin, righteousness and judgment, the wrath of God. If we LISTEN to the voice of the Holy Spirit we immediately repent and we come back into the peace of God but if we persist in our disobedience we can expect discipline, punishment and eventually we will get cut off if we keep on disobeying Him. We need to stay in the peace of God. We are at peace with God when we do what is pleasing to Him and then we enjoy His favor and His peace that passes all understanding. Are you at peace with God? Are you DOING what is pleasing to Him? Are you living in that close relationship with Jesus where you enjoy that peace that passes all understanding? Do you have that PEACE FROM ABOVE? May Jesus bless you.

Cold Feet

Many believers seriously started following Jesus, they witnessed for Him, they listened to His voice and they did what He told them to do but then they got cold feet. They stopped following. It is written that THE RIGHTEOUS ONE WILL LIVE BY FAITH but IF HE WITHDRAWS MY SOUL WILL HAVE NO PLEASURE IN HIM (Hebrews 10:38). If we do not complete the race and keep on following Jesus it is all in vain. We mustn't look at other people. Our focus must be on Jesus. He has a specific purpose and a plan with each and every one of us, that is why He called us, BUT we must stay focused on Him until the very end. We must not get cold feet and stop. We must follow Him every day until the very end. Those who endure and those who overcome will win the prize of life. Those who get cold feet, who quit will lose it all. They will end up in damnation with the unbelievers. THERE IS NO PLACE FOR QUITTERS IN THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN. Get back on the job, repent and follow Jesus until the very end. May Jesus bless you.

Good Slaves - Wicked Slaves

Jesus Christ calls us for a purpose, for His kingdom. He calls us to be slaves of the kingdom of God, servants who do His will, who serve Him as King. But there are good servants and bad servants. The good servant enjoys the favor of his Master, as Jesus said to His disciples in John 15:14 “14“ You are My friends, IF YOU DO WHAT I COMMAND YOU. 15“ No longer do I call you slaves, for the slave does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I have heard from My Father I have made known to you.” The good slave enjoys the favor of his Master and he becomes a friend, he becomes part of the household but the wicked slave, the one who refuses to serve, he will get cast out in utter darkness, where there will be whaling and gnashing of teeth. We read in John 15:5 “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. 7“ If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it shall be done for you.” What the Lord requires of us is that we be good slaves because then we become friends of the Master, then we are not slaves any longer, then He reveals Himself to us and we become part of His household. But if we are wicked and unwilling and disobedient we will get cut off and cast into the fire. Are we good servants. Are we doing what the Master is telling us to do? Or are we wicked slaves that will be cast out into utter darkness? May Jesus bless you.

Has God left America?

It is a wonderful thing when a country displays on it's currency “IN GOD WE TRUST” but it is a terrible thing if believers in that country buy guns because they want to protect themselves and THEY do not trust in God, when believers attack you when you tell you to trust in God and not in medication; when believers start trusting more in themselves and their own abilities and in other things more than in God. This is what God said through the mouth of the prophet Jeremiah in Jeremiah 17: 5” Thus says the LORD,“Cursed is the man who trusts in mankind And makes flesh his strength, And whose heart turns away from the LORD. 6“For he will be like a bush in the desert And will not see when prosperity comes, But will live in stony wastes in the wilderness, A land of salt without inhabitant. 7“Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD And whose trust is the LORD. 8“For he will be like a tree planted by the water, That extends its roots by a stream And will not FEAR when the heat comes; But its leaves will be green, And it will not be ANXIOUS in a year of drought NOR CEASE TO YIELD FRUIT. 9“The heart is more deceitful than all else And is desperately sick; Who can understand it? 10“I, the LORD, search the heart, I test the mind, Even to give to each man according to his ways, According to the results of his deeds.” These words were spoken to Judah and the wrath of God came on them because they turned away from God. This is what He said to them: Verse 3: “I will give over your wealth and all your treasures for booty, Your high places for sin throughout your borders. 4And you will, even of yourself, let go of your inheritance That I gave you; And I will make you serve your enemies In the land which you do not know; For you have kindled a fire in My anger Which will burn forever.” It is not the will of God that we perish. God looks after those who TRUST in Him, who OBEY Him. We read in Psalm 127:1,2. “1Unless the LORD builds the house, They labor in vain who build it; Unless the LORD guards the city, The watchman keeps awake in vain. 2It is vain for you to rise up early, To retire late, To eat the bread of painful labors; For He gives to His beloved even in his sleep.” God has never changed but if we turn our back on God then He turns His back on us. If we profess to be children of God, then our trust must be in God. God knows how to look after those who trust Him and who fear Him but the hand of God is against the ungodly. Why do believers buy guns? Why do they trust more in medication, technology, their own devices than in God IF they truly believe in Him? If we trust more in guns, medication, technology, money, our own devices and if we love pleasure more than God then GOD TURNS HIS BACK ON US. Has God turned His back on America? May Jesus bless you

Many people are buying guns and ammunition because they are worried that their guns might be taken from them. Among those people there are also Christians. A child of God does not need a gun to defend himself. Jesus commanded us that if somebody strikes us on the one cheek we offer him the other cheek and He also warned that all those who take up the sword will die by the sword. If we are children of God we OBEY JESUS CHRIST like the first believers did. Jesus Christ Himself protects those who follow Him and who obey Him. The first believers did not buy weapons they prayed and Jesus delivered them. We read in Acts 12 that Peter was taken captive by Herod and Herod intended killing him. Peter was locked up between two guards and that night the angel of the Lord came and he delivered him, he led him out of prison. But some believers were praying and the next thing Peter knocked on the door. We read in Acts 12:13”When he knocked at the door of the gate, a servant-girl named Rhoda came to answer. 14 When she recognized Peter’s voice, because of her joy she did not open the gate, but ran in and announced that Peter was standing in front of the gate. 15 They said to her, “You are out of your mind!” But she kept insisting that it was so. They kept saying, “It is his angel.” 16 But Peter continued knocking; and when they had opened the door, they saw him and were amazed. 17 But motioning to them with his hand to be silent, he described to them how the Lord had led him out of the prison.” There are even some CHURCHES who now have armed guards to protect the church goers. Do they not serve the same God or do they not pray? Has God changed? We read in 2 Corinthians 10:3 Paul writes: “For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh, 4 for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses. 5 We are destroying speculations and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ, 6 and we are ready to punish all disobedience, whenever your obedience is complete.” If we have come to obedience to Jesus Christ we OBEY HIM and His power works through us. We are here to declare the Kingdom of God. We are here to preach the Gospel of Peace and we don’t need to defend ourselves. We do not kill other people. We obey Jesus Christ and do His will. A child of God does not need a gun to defend himself. The power of God in him is mighty to destroy the works of satan. How much of the power of God is working in us? Or do we trust in ourselves and in guns? Do we really believe in Jesus? May Jesus bless you.

Fear the Lord - HELL IS REAL - My Testimony

The reason why believers go on sinning and live their lives to please themselves is because they do not fear God, It is because they do not know Jesus. I was also like that until one morning July 28, 1998. I had a heart attack. I was a Christian, I was baptized in water, baptized in the Holy Spirit, speaking in tongues, praying every night. I was a “good” Christian but I found myself on my way to hell. I was going down a deep black hole and I knew I was not coming back. I KNEW I was on my way to hell. And I pleaded with Jesus. I said:”Lord, Please let me come back! Please let me come back!” I had nothing to offer. While going down that black hole I saw my young son standing at my grave and I knew it WAS THE END. But I pleaded, I said:”Lord, please let me come back! Please let me go and tell people that HELL IS REAL, that they must repent and serve Thee.” And God let me come back, Jesus let me come back to come and warn the world, to come and warn you. Friend, you must fear God. You must obey Jesus, you must live to please Him. You cannot live to please yourself, you cannot live like the world, you will perish! You will go into hell. I was a Christian, I was a good Christian. Jesus wants total obedience to His words, total devotion. You cannot serve God halfheartedly, you have got to FEAR HIM. You cannot go on sinning, YOU WILL PERISH IN HELL. I fear God. I fear God above everything else, I fear Him! Jesus said:”Do not fear those who can kill you and after that they can do nothing but FEAR HIM who after He has killed has the power to throw into hell.” That is Jesus. I don't fear death, I will die again but I fear what will happen after death and I want to be prepared the next time that Jesus comes to fetch me. I don't want to go down that black hole again. I want to be ready! I am warning you, my friend, fear God! Fear Jesus, OBEY His words. If you look at a woman to desire her you have already committed adultery in your heart and you will perish in hell. Those are the words of Jesus. That is how serious He is about sin! You might say:”I am not an adulterer, I have never committed adultery but if you look at a woman to desire her you are an adulterer in the eyes of God. Fear God, my friend, FEAR GOD, REPENT, STOP SINNING, BE HOLY or else you will perish! It is a terrible thing to fall into the hands of the living God. I fear Him and that is why I am hear to warn you, FEAR THE LORD, OBEY HIM, STOP SINNING, LIVE HOLY or you will perish. May Jesus bless you.

A Powerful Delusion

God has sent a powerful delusion of the world and that is why the world is in darkness. Even though people know what is right they choose what is wrong and that goes for believers and churches also. If we hate righteousness and we hate the truth and we love lies and wickedness then God delivers us to our sins and to darkness and then He judges us. Paul wrote about that in 2 Thessalonians 2:11,12 “God will send upon them a deluding influence so that they will believe what is false, 12in order that they all may be judged who did not believe the truth, but took pleasure in wickedness.” Even churches, believers, confess to be sinners, they don't want to be holy. The words of Jesus are plain and simple, they don't need interpretation, we just need to obey them. God wrote His laws in our hearts, we have got a conscience, we know what is right. We know that we must treat others as we wish to be treated. We must not steal, cheat, covet, we know those things. But if we seek justification for our sins then God delivers us to darkness. We read in Romans 1:21, Paul wrote: "For even though they knew God, they did not honor Him as God or give thanks, but they became futile in their speculations, and their foolish heart was darkened." PEOPLE DON'T KNOW RIGHT FROM WRONG ANY MORE. Everything goes, everything that God hates is acceptable, it is legislated, it is accepted by the churches. Their minds have been darkened. God has delivered them to their wickedness. We read in Romans 1:28, Paul wrote:”And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God any longer, God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do those things which are not proper, 29being filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, greed, evil; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malice; they are gossips, 30slanderers, haters of God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, 31without understanding, untrustworthy, unloving, unmerciful; 32and although they know the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, they not only do the same, but also give hearty approval to those who practice them.” That is your modern day believer, God has given them over to darkness and to deception. They run after fables, stories, they love lying prophets and God has put a lying spirit in the mouth of these prophets, people that come up with new “revelations” and prophecies every day, prophecy channels. People are besotted with these people, they run after them. Mega churches, God has given them over to their deception because THEY LOVE LIES. They don't love the truth. They LOVE THEIR TV, THEY LOVE ENTERTAINMENT, video games, all these wicked things, God has opened it up to them. He says:”This is what you want. HAVE IT!” But the judgment of God is going to come on them. Do you love truth? Do you want to be holy and acceptable to God. If you love filth, God will deliver you to filth AND DESTRUCTION. But if we seek the truth and we live holy then God will bring us into the Light and into His presence. It is our choice whether we want truth or whether we want darkness. Choose life, choose truth and live truth, OBEY JESUS. May Jesus bless you.

Tongues is proof

Jesus reveals Himself to those who diligently seek Him and He gives them the Holy Spirit as proof and confirmation of His acceptance. We read in Acts 10 of Cornelius, an Italian, who was seeking righteousness, he was seeking the Lord and the Lord sent an angel to him who told him to go and fetch Peter to come and minister to them. Peter, who was a Jew who did not have any communion with gentiles would otherwise not have gone but at the same time he was also praying and the Lord gave him three visions which convicted him to go with the messengers, the servants of Cornelius who came to fetch him. And Peter went and he preached the gospel to this man Cornelius and his family. A wonderful thing happened, the Holy Spirit came on them exactly the same as it did on the disciples on the day of Pentecost. We read in Acts 10:44 “While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell upon all those who were listening to the message. 45And all the circumcised believers who had come with Peter were amazed, because the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out upon the Gentiles also. 46For they were hearing them speaking with tongues and exalting God. Then Peter answered, 47“ Surely no one can refuse the water for these to be baptized who have received the Holy Spirit just as we did, can he?” 48And he ordered them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ.” Jesus reveals Himself to all those who truly seek Him and he confirms His acceptance of them by giving them the gift of the Holy Spirit that He promised to all those who love Him and who obey Him. Have you received the PROOF OF ACCEPTANCE, the BAPTISM IN THE HOLY SPIRIT? It is not a guarantee of salvation but it is proof that Jesus Christ has accepted you. Have you received that proof, the baptism in the Holy Spirit? May Jesus bless you.

Calling the LOST SHEEP

We have all strayed like sheep. We have all sinned and we come short of the glory of God but Jesus came to call us unto the Father, to take away our sins. He is calling us to turn away from sin, to stop sinning and to obey Him, to cleanse ourselves of all iniquity, to have our sins washed off through baptism and then He wants to put His Spirit in us, the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of the Father so that we can hear His voice, follow Him, be with Him, be united with Him and have eternal life. But people don't want God, they don't want Jesus. He is calling us and He wants us unto Himself, He wants to give us eternal life. The wages of sin is death. The soul that sins must die. He wants to cleanse us of our sin and give us eternal life. He wants to unite us with Him, He is calling us, His sheep, to follow Him to listen to Him and to be with Him for ever. Have you answered to the call? Have you turned away from sin. Are you following Jesus? Are you obeying Him? Do you HEAR His voice? His sheep LISTEN to His voice and they follow Him. Do you LISTEN to His voice and do you FOLLOW Him? Do you have LIFE? Do you have Jesus Christ? May Jesus bless you.

You must FIRST STOP SINNING

Many believers say that they cannot stop sinning. It is because they have never repented, they are not following Jesus Christ, they are following satan. You cannot follow Jesus Christ unless you have repented. John the Baptist was preaching repentance and we read in Matthew 3:7 “But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming for baptism, he said to them, “You brood of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath to come? 8“Therefore BEAR FRUIT IN KEEPING WITH REPENTANCE;9and do not suppose that you can say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham for our father’; for I say to you that from these stones God is able to raise up children to Abraham. 10“The axe is already laid at the root of the trees; therefore EVERY TREE THAT DOES NOT BEAR GOOD FRUIT IS CUT DOWN AND THROWN INTO THE FIRE.” That is the situation with the religious people of today also. These Pharisees and Sadducees that came for baptism, they were the religious people of the time but they were also sinners like the religious people of today and John the Baptist refused to baptize them. He said to them:”Go and repent first! Go first, show fruit in keeping with repentance.” You cannot follow Jesus Christ if you have not repented. These people were saying:”We are the children of Abraham!” The people in the churches are saying:”We are saved!” They are not saved! They are sinners, they are serving satan and themselves. You cannot follow Jesus Christ if you have not repented, unless you have STOPPED SINNING and unless you are SHOWING FRUIT OF REPENTANCE. God has no communion with sinners. It is no good to be baptized if you have not repented of your sin. You are wasting your time. And that is why many believers say that Jesus is not talking to them – HE WILL NOT! HE DOES NOT SPEAK TO SINNERS! He has no communion with sinners! Go cleanse your heart, go repent of your sin, go cleanse yourself and then He will reveal Himself to you. You must FIRST STOP SINNING BEFORE YOU CAN FOLLOW JESUS. May Jesus bless you.

Living by faith

Jesus Christ is the way and the truth and the life. If we follow Him, He justifies us and He gives us eternal life, but we must BELIEVE in Him, we must KNOW Him and FOLLOW Him to be pleasing to Him. He justifies those who BELIEVE Him, who TRUST Him, who OBEY Him and FOLLOW Him. It is written in Hebrews 10:38 “BUT MY RIGHTEOUS ONE SHALL LIVE BY FAITH; AND IF HE SHRINKS BACK, MY SOUL HAS NO PLEASURE IN HIM.” We will only follow Jesus and OBEY Him IF we truly believe in Him. Many believers are just presumptuous, they are not following Jesus, they believe they are saved on the grounds of a few Bible verses, on what people have told them. They have no relationship with Jesus. We can only follow Jesus if we are in relationship with Him, if we hear His voice, if we pray and He answers us and He guides us. In Matthew 4:4 "It is written, 'MAN SHALL NOT LIVE ON BREAD ALONE, BUT ON EVERY WORD THAT PROCEEDS OUT OF THE MOUTH OF GOD.'" You have to HEAR from the Lord in order to BELIEVE and then ACT on it. The apostle Paul wrote in Romans 10:17 “ faith comes from HEARING, and hearing by the word of Christ.“ What is that hearing? It is when the Spirit of Christ speaks to you and guides you. If you are not hearing from the Lord then you have nothing to go on. You will live by faith, you will live by every word that proceeds from the MOUTH of God. The righteous will live by FAITH, by his dependance on Jesus. The apostle Paul also wrote in Romans 8:14 “For all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.” You are only a child of God if you are led by the Spirit of God, but if you are led by your mind and your opinion and what other people tell you then you are not following Jesus. You cannot be pleasing to Him and you are not justified. The apostle James wrote in James 1:5-8 “But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him. 6But he must ask in faith without any doubting, for the one who doubts is like the surf of the sea, driven and tossed by the wind. 7For that man ought not to expect that he will receive anything from the Lord, 8being a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.“ You will only follow Jesus IF you truly believe, if you truly trust in Him and you can only please Him, IF YOU TRUST HIM. The follower of Christ does nothing unless he gets his guidance from the Holy Spirit. He prays and he asks the Lord for guidance and then he ACTS on the guidance that he has received. If you do not intend DOING what the Lord tells you to do then it is useless to ask for His guidance because He will not give you His guidance and you will not follow His guidance, and then you are not in faith and you are not justified, you are rejected because the RIGHTEOUS WILL LIVE BY FAITH, by his relationship with Jesus and his STEADFAST TRUST in the Lord. The child of God gets his guidance FROM God. He is led by the Spirit of God. He LISTENS to the Spirit, He doesn't go anywhere else, he doesn't flip through the scriptures; he goes on his knees and he prays and God answers him and then he follows that guidance. Are you walking by faith? Do you know Jesus? Do you pray and wait for and answer? Because that is the only way that you can please Jesus. “The righteous will live by faith and if he withdraws My soul will have no pleasure in him.” We have to walk by faith to please God. May Jesus bless you.

No Fire

Many believers have lost their zeal for Jesus. There is no FIRE in their relationship with Him, their dedication to Him. That is a very dangerous place to be, as we read in the book of Revelation, the warning of Jesus to the church of Laodicea. Revelation 3:15‘ I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot; I would that you were cold or hot. 16‘ So because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I WILL SPIT YOU OUT OF MY MOUTH. 17‘ Because you say, “I am rich, and have become wealthy, and have need of nothing,” and you do not know that you are wretched and miserable and poor and blind and naked, 18I advise you to buy from Me gold refined by fire, that you may become rich, and white garments, that you may clothe yourself, and that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and eye salve to anoint your eyes, that you may see. 19‘ Those whom I love, I reprove and discipline; be zealous therefore, and repent. 20‘ Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him, and will dine with him, and he with Me. 21‘ He who overcomes, I will grant to him to sit down with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.” If we are not on fire for Jesus we are in a very dangerous place, we are in danger of being spat out, being cut off and burned. Our deeds show whether we love Him or not. If you have lost your fire YOU NEED TO PRAY and SEEK JESUS. Ask Him to light a fire in you, a fire that will consume you, that will drive you, that will motivate you to do what is pleasing to Him, because if you do not have a fire for Jesus and if you do not bear fruit for His kingdom YOU WILL GET CUT OFF AND BURNED. Do you have a fire burning in you for the kingdom of God or are you in danger of being vomited out, in danger of being cut off and burned? Start praying, seek Jesus UNTIL HE LIGHTS THAT FIRE IN YOU. May Jesus bless you.

Faithfulness

Jesus requires of us that we be faithful to Him, that we deny ourselves, pick up our cross and follow Him every day. Our mind must always be on Jesus, seeking to please Him. Very few people are faithful to their spouses. Some do not physically cheat on their spouse but in their mind they are fornicating, they are adulterating, they are desiring another person. They are adulterers, fornicators. Jesus said that if you look at a woman to desire her, you have already committed adultery in your heart. If we allow our mind to wonder away from Jesus and we desire the world and the things of the world then we are not faithful to Him and He regards us as adulterers. Are we faithful to Jesus? Is our mind always on the Lord? Are we always occupying ourselves with Jesus? Do we deny ourselves, pick up our cross and follow Him? Are we faithful to Jesus? May Jesus bless you.
