Not a joy ride - FIRE.

Jesus Christ gives eternal life to those who BELIEVE in Him and then FOLLOW Him and OBEY Him. Jesus said that:”Whoever WISHES to come after Me must deny himself, pick up his cross daily and come here, follow Me.” If you follow Jesus Christ He will take you through the water, you will have to be baptized for the washing off of your sins and He will take you through the FIRE. He will baptize you in the Holy Spirit and with FIRE.

If you follow Jesus He will purify you, He will cleanse you. You will have to BE WILLING TO GIVE UP EVERYTHING, your dignity, your family, your possessions, everything, even your life. If you are not willing to give up everything to follow Jesus Christ then you are not worthy of Him. If you follow Jesus Christ then you LISTEN to Him, and you OBEY Him. You do not run after your own plans and your own ambitions, you WAIT ON HIM and you follow HIM.

IF you follow Jesus He will take you through the FIRE. He will cleanse you, He will purify you. He will purify you of worldly desires, He will cleanse you of everything of this world. You will not FIT INTO THIS WORLD any more, you will not be of the world. You will have no desire for the things of the world. The world will shun you, reject you, persecute you but you will be suitable for the kingdom of God. IF YOU STILL FIT INTO THIS WORLD THEN YOU CANNOT FIT INTO THE KINGDOM OF GOD, you have to GO THROUGH THE FIRE, be molded, purified and cleansed so that you can be suitable for the kingdom of God.

Are you willing to give up everything and follow Jesus Christ? Jesus will not take you on a joy ride, He will take you through the FIRE. Are you ready for the FIRE? Are you ready to follow Jesus Christ? If you want eternal life YOU WILL HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE FIRE.

May Jesus bless you.
