Your Calling

Jesus Christ calls each and every one of us for a specific purpose and the only way that we can fulfill that purpose is IF we follow Him, if we submit our lives to Him, live in holiness and obedience,seeking His will, LISTENING to His voice and DOING what He tells us to do. We are not all called to be preachers or teachers.

Jesus calls each and every one with a specific purpose and He will direct our footsteps and put us where He wants us to be. He might direct us into different occupations, we are in different countries of the world, but if we are led by the Holy Spirit then He will TEACH us, He will GUIDE us, He will COACH us, He will prepare us for service in His Kingdom and IF we endure with Him, submit to Him. LISTEN and OBEY then He will USE us for the purpose that He called us for. Moses the man of God was only ready for the purpose for which God had called Him when he was eighty years old. At the age of eighty he led the children of Israel out of Egypt.

God has called each and every one of us for a purpose which only He knows but we can only fulfill that purpose IF we follow Jesus Christ, IF we listen to His voice, IF we submit to Him and then He will use us for that purpose that He has made us for, called us for and that He wants to prepare us for. Only God knows that purpose. The only way that we can fulfill God's purpose is if we ABANDON OUR OWN PLANS, abandon our own ambitions and submit totally to Jesus, focus on Him, follow Him and let Him guide us into that plan which He has prepared for each of us. That is our calling, to follow Jesus and to do what He has called us for until the very end.

Without Jesus we can do nothing. We will have to follow His guidance every step of the way until the very, very end and only those who endure until the very end will win the prize of eternal life that He has promised to those who love Him and who obey Him.

Are you fulfilling your calling? Are you following Jesus every step of the way until the very end?

May Jesus bless you.

Feeding your soul

Input determines output, garbage in - garbage out. Whatever we feed our souls with is what we will become and what we will produce. If we watch pornography and play violent video games, if we listen to the news all day, then that is what will be on our mind. If we watch TV all day we will be brainwashed by whatever lies are presented to us all the time. That becomes our reality.

If we want eternal life then we have to meditate on and absorb, believe and ponder the words of Jesus Christ, as also written in the gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. That must become our reality. We must be praying. Our mind must be on Jesus Christ all the time. He must be our reality.

Whatever seed we plant in our soul will grow and it will either produce bad fruit unto destruction or good fruit unto eternal life. What is our spiritual diet? With what are we feeding our soul? Is our mind on Jesus Christ and on seeking to be pleasing to Him. Are His words constantly on our mind or are we busy with things that will cause us to end up in damnation?

May Jesus bless you.

Polished to PERFECTION

Jesus Christ is working perfection in every one of THOSE WHO ARE FOLLOWING HIM, who have the hope of eternal life. He wants to present us as a perfect bride before His Father who is in heaven. I want to share with you some reading from the book of Hebrews.
We read in Hebrews 11 about the heroes of faith who endured until the end, and then we read in Hebrews 12:1 “Therefore, since we have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us,” (He is talking about those heroes of faith that have gone before) “let us also lay aside every encumbrance and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, 2fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. 3For consider Him who has endured such hostility by sinners against Himself, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.4You have not yet resisted to the point of shedding blood in your striving against sin;”
Sin is the problem. If we sin we cannot enter the Kingdom of Heaven and therefor Jesus PERFECTS us through discipline and chastisement so that we can share in His holiness.
We read verse 5 “and you have forgotten the exhortation which is addressed to you as sons,
  “MY SON, DO NOT REGARD LIGHTLY THE DISCIPLINE OF THE LORD,
   NOR FAINT WHEN YOU ARE REPROVED BY HIM;
   6FOR THOSE WHOM THE LORD LOVES HE DISCIPLINES,
    AND HE SCOURGES EVERY SON WHOM HE RECEIVES.”
7It is for discipline that you endure; God deals with you as with sons; for what son is there whom his father does not discipline? 8But if you are without discipline, of which all have become partakers, then you are illegitimate children and not sons. 9Furthermore, we had earthly fathers to discipline us, and we respected them; shall we not much rather be subject to the Father of spirits, and live? 10For they disciplined us for a short time as seemed best to them, but He disciplines us for our good, so that we may share His holiness. 11All discipline for the moment seems not to be joyful, but sorrowful; yet to those who have been trained by it, afterwards it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness.”
God disciplines all His children. He disciplines us through misfortune, sickness, pain and suffering. Things happen in our lives and we cannot understand why these things are happening. It is the hand of God that is disciplining and correcting us. There is no coincidence in the life of a child of God. Whatever happens in your life is the hand of God on your life. HE IS LEADING US TO HOLINESS, PERFECTION.
We read in verse12 “Therefore, strengthen the hands that are weak and the knees that are feeble,13and make straight paths for your feet, so that the limb which is lame may not be put out of joint, but rather be healed.”
What does he mean by that? Do not go and look for trouble. Stay on the straight and narrow road. Do not go to those places where you know that you are weak. DO NOT EXPOSE YOURSELF TO TEMPTATION BUT STAY AWAY FROM TEMPTATION. Keep your eyes on Jesus, stay focused on Him and on the prize of eternal life or else you will not make it into the Kingdom of Heaven.
He says in verse14:”Pursue peace with all men, and the SANCTIFICATION WITHOUT WHICH NO ONE WILL SEE THE LORD.” Without sanctification, without holiness no man shall see the Lord. If we sin WE WILL PERISH! And that is why God is working perfection in us, through discipline and reproof because we have to be a PERFECT bride for Jesus Christ.
Verse 5 “See to it that no one comes short of the grace of God; that no root of bitterness springing up causes trouble, and by it many be defiled; 16that there be no immoral or godless person like Esau, who sold his own birthright for a single meal. 17For you know that even afterwards, when he desired to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no place for repentance, though he sought for it with tears.”
It was for ONE SIN, ONE DISOBEDIENCE that Adam died. It was only one mishap that Esau made that caused him to lose his birth right. ONE SIN can cost you eternity. Jesus requires of us ABSOLUTE HOLINESS. Adam did not find any room for repentance, he disobeyed God and he perished. The very same God expects of us, PERFECT OBEDIENCE, IF we want to enter the Kingdom of Heaven.
Jesus Christ is preparing a perfect bride to receive a perfect Kingdom, the Kingdom of Heaven and therefor we have to be perfect. We must allow Him to have His way in our lives. We have to yield to Him, we have to be UTTERLY HOLY and OBEDIENT to Him.
We read in verse 28:”Therefore, since we receive a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us show gratitude, by which we may OFFER TO GOD AN ACCEPTABLE SERVICE WITH REVERENCE AND AWE; 29for OUR GOD IS A CONSUMING FIRE.”
We must YIELD to Jesus, we must YIELD to the Holy Spirit and live in UTTER HOLINESS, He does not tolerate disobedience because OUR GOD IS A CONSUMING FIRE, who is working PERFECTION in every one of those who ENDURES UNTIL TH EVERY END. Only those who ENDURE will in the PRIZE OF ETERNAL LIFE. Only those who DO THE WILL OF GOD will receive the prize.
We read in Hebrews 10:36 “For you have NEED OF ENDURANCE, so that when you HAVE DONE THE WILL OF GOD, you may receive what was promised.” Only those who ENDURE and DO the will of God will receive what was promised, the PRIZE of ETERNAL LIFE.
May Jesus bless you.

You need SPIRITUAL PERCEPTION

God is spirit and the kingdom of God is a spiritual kingdom. In order to be part of the kingdom of God we have to be spiritual people with SPIRITUAL PERCEPTION, and that is why you cannot SEE the Kingdom of God if you are not SPIRITUALLY REBORN through the Spirit of God. Those who are born again by the Spirit of God they have spiritual perception, they are the SONS OF GOD. As Paul wrote in Romans 8:15 “Those who are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.”

If you are not born again and if you are not led by the Spirit of God YOU ARE NOT A CHILD OF GOD. You need SPIRITUAL PERCEPTION. Most believers do not have SPIRITUAL PERCEPTION they are spiritually dead, they are not born again. Those who are involved in the occult know that demons are real, the netherworld is real, and they are controlled by demons. Many believers are controlled by demons and they don't even know it, they are addicted, they are in the power of satan and they don't even know it. That which happens in the spiritual plays out in the physical.

God is spirit and if we want to serve Him we have to be spiritually PERCEPTIVE, SPIRITUALLY ALIVE and we will be led by the Spirit of God. We need to be SPIRITUALLY REBORN. Those who are led by the Spirit of God, they are the CHILDREN OF GOD. Jesus said:”My sheep LISTEN to My VOICE and they FOLLOW Me.” They are spiritually PERCEPTIVE. They listen to the Holy Spirit. If you are not listening to the Holy Spirit you cannot follow Jesus. If you are not spiritually reborn you cannot perceive, understand, the Kingdom of God, it doesn't make sense to you because you are spiritually dead, unreceptive, closed. You need to be spiritually reborn.

The physical and the spiritual are in competition (opposed) with each other. Our physical mind and our body overrides (blots out, suppresses) the Spirit of God and that is why we fast, we weaken the physical and then the spiritual can come alive (surface). Most people just fast to loose weight. But you have to fast and pray to weaken your physical so that your spiritual can become acute, alive, and then you perceive the spiritual, both good and bad, both demons and the Spirit of God. If you weaken your body through fasting then your spirit becomes acute, alive (sharp) and in your spirit you perceive God and demons, that is why we fast.

You need to be spiritually alive, acute, (sharp) and you need to be led by the Spirit of God to be a child of God. If you are not a SPIRITUAL PERSON who is SPIRITUALLY ALIVE you cannot follow Jesus Christ. You need spiritual perception because God is spirit and those who worship Him must worship Him in SPIRIT and in TRUTH. Paul said:”Jesus Christ whom I SERVE IN MY SPIRIT...” Do you serve Jesus Christ in your spirit or is your faith and your religion all just on the basis of your mind and your intellect? Because then you cannot be following Jesus. You need to be led by the Spirit of God.

Pray and seek Jesus. Ask Him for the Holy Spirit and then the Holy Spirit will guide you into all truth.

May Jesus bless you.

You have the POWER

We all have the power to do the will of God. Without Jesus we can do nothing and whatever power we have, we receive from God, even the breath that we breathe, but it is our choice how we use that power. We can use the power that God gives us to sin, or to live holy and to obey Jesus Christ. We can either curse or we can bless. We can go after our own flesh or we can go after Jesus but the power that we have ALL COMES FROM GOD!

Paul says:”I can do all things through Jesus Christ who gives me the POWER.” (Philippians 4:13) Jesus said that without Him we can do nothing. (John 15:5) Whatever power we have got, we get from God. There is no power in us that we ourselves generate.

The devil is doing his best to destroy us, to tempt us, to get us to sin and end up in hell, and we are ALL tempted but God will not ALLOW US TO BE TEMPTED ABOVE OUR POWER (1Corinthians10:13). If we need more power to overcome then we must pray and He will give us MORE POWER, but WE must resist the devil and then he will flee from us.

Nobody will have any excuse for not doing the will of God. It is all in our power because God gives us the power to do whatever we do.

May Jesus bless you.

Achieving your ambition

Every man is the slave of his ambition and achieving your goals in life will take your utmost effort and dedication. It is no different with your relationship with Jesus. Jesus said:”Narrow is the door that leads to life and few their be that find it.” If you are not willing to give up EVERYTHING and apply yourself absolutely to obeying Jesus and DOING what is pleasing to Him, you won't make it.

A relationship is not just faith or words, it is action. You can tell a person that you love them but if your actions do not prove it, your deeds, then your relationship will fall apart or not exist at all. It is our DEEDS that prove our relationship, our service and our dedication to Jesus. Jesus said:”Why do you call Me Lord, Lord and do not what I say?” If we love somebody then nothing is too much trouble. People say they cannot stop sinning, they cannot obey the words of Jesus. If you REALLY want to, you will do EVERYTHING IN YOUR POWER TO BE PLEASING TO JESUS. You will do your UTMOST BEST, and Jesus said that even those who do their UTMOST BEST will not all make it. When they asked Him:”Lord are those who are being saved few?” He said:”Many will try but not be able. STRIVE, STRIVE HARD.” Are we striving HARD? Is it our ambition to be pleasing to Jesus or are other things more important? Because if we do not put every bit of effort into it WE WILL NOT MAKE IT. It will take your UTMOST DEDICATION and ABSOLUTE OBEDIENCE to Jesus Christ and then you might just not make it.

Believing that you are saved just puts you into a FOOLS PARADISE. If you are not WORKING at your salvation and proving by your deeds that you are absolutely dedicated to Jesus. if you are not willing to give up EVERYTHING to follow Him and obey Him you are not worthy of Him and you WILL NOT enter the kingdom of heaven.

May Jesus bless you.

When the door closes

Many people believe that they are saved and they think that they can serve Jesus in their own way. They interpret the Bible their way, they go to church, they debate with other people but they have no relationship with Jesus Christ. Not many people will be saved, only those who follow Jesus and OBEY Him, who serve Him HIS WAY, those who reply WHRN HE CALLS, those who listen to His voice and follow Him, who DO what He tells them to do. On occasion they asked Jesus whether those who are being saved are few. I read from Luke 13:23.

“Then said one unto Him, Lord, are there few that be saved? And he said unto them, 24Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able. 25When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and He shall answer and say unto you, I know you not whence ye are: 26Then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in Thy presence, and Thou hast taught in our streets. 27But He shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity.”

Many people think that because they go to church and they fellowship with other believers that they are children of God. It is only when you OBEY Jesus, when you WAIT ON HIM, when you SERVE HIM that you have a relationship with Him. Many of those who go to church, who believed that they are saved will stand before Jesus and He will say to them:”Go away I never knew you.” You cannot serve God your way. You cannot respond to Him when you wish. When Jesus calls you must go. YOU GO WHERE HE SENDS YOU AND YOU DO WHAT HE TELLS YOU TO DO, WHEN HE TELLS YOU TO DO IT, or else He will say to you ”Go away I never knew you.”

Once the door is closed many people will knock on that door and say:”Lord, Lord!” And He will say to them: “I don't know you! Go away! I don't know where you are from.” Most believers do not know Jesus, most believers WILL NOT FOLLOW HIM. Most believers do not serve Jesus, they serve themselves. What will Jesus say to YOU and to ME when we stand before Him? Did we respond when He called us? Did we go where He sent us and did we do what He told us to do?

Those with ears will hear!

May Jesus bless you.

God is near

Gos is near, as near as the air that we breathe because God is spirit. The reason why people do not sense God or hear Him is because of sin. Sin separates us from God but Jesus came to take away the sin of the world and if you are born again of the Spirit of God and you have repented of sin and you live in holiness then you SEE God, you HEAR THE VOICE OF GOD.

Jesus said that those who are pure in heart, they will see God. He said:”My sheep listen to My voice and they follow Me.” Sinners do not come into the presence of God. God is near. Do you sense Him or does sin separate you from God?

May Jesus bless you.

Powerless Lame Christianity

Christianity, Christians and Christian churches have no impact on the world today because they are spiritually dead. They are not born again. 99.99% of confessing “born again” Christians do not know Jesus Christ. If they were truly born again then the power of God would be working in their lives, firstly transforming them, setting them free from the power of sin and mightily working in and through them to transform and impact the world around them.

Most professing Christians are slaves of sin. Churches are full of sin. The power of the gospel of Jesus Christ is DELIVERANCE FROM THE POWER OF SATAN AND THE POWER OF SIN. He who sins is a slave of sin. If you have not been set free from the power of sin then you are not born again or you have, like the dog, gone back to your own vomit.

He who is in Christ is a new man, the old things have passed away, he is not interested in the things of the world neither is he interested in sin. A born again person seeks the kingdom of God and His righteousness and the power of the Holy Ghost works through him to transform the world around him.

Are you born again? Are you spiritually alive? Is your mind on Christ or are you just a powerless deceived professing Christian on your way to hell? If you are a slave of sin you cannot be in relationship or fellowship with Jesus Christ. Then the devil is your company.

If you walk with Jesus you will be pure and holy and the power of the Holy Spirit will be working in and through your life to build the kingdom of God. Are you a child of God? Have you become new inside? Have you become part of the kingdom of God? Is the power of God working in and through you? Have you been renewed through the infilling of the Spirit of the Living God?

May Jesus bless you.

Fear Him

Most believers will tell you that they do not fear Jesus but that is where they make the biggest mistake ever, because Jesus warned, He said:”Do not fear him who can kill your body but after that he can do nothing, but fear Him who after he has killed has the power to throw into hell. That person is Jesus Christ Himself.

Jesus promised, He said:”Whoever denies Me in front of this wicked generation, I will certainly deny him also in front of My heavenly Father and the holy angels.” The One that we must fear above all is Jesus Christ because He is the final judge. He will decide who will enter the kingdom of heaven and who will be thrown into hell. All power and all authority belongs to Jesus, He is the FINAL JUDGE, and we will be judged by His words. If we disobey the words of Jesus WE ARE ALREADY JUDGED because Jesus said:”I did not come to condemn the world but to save the world, but the words that I spoke will judge you in the last day.” The words that Jesus spoke were recorded in the gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John and we will be judged by those words. The Holy Spirit also reminds us of those words because the Holy Spirit convicts the world of sin, righteousness and judgment so nobody will have any excuse.

The one to fear is Jesus Christ, not peer pressure or the fear of rejection by the world, or the fear of losing your job, or the fear of losing your life. You must fear Jesus Christ because if you disobey Him and if you disown Him, if you deny Him, then He will certainly reject you and deny you also. Fear Him who has the power to, after He has killed, to throw you into hell. Fear Jesus Christ, He is the King of kings and the Lord of lords. He died for your sins but if you love your sins and continue in your sin YOU will die for your own sin, YOU WILL PERISH! JESUS HIMSELF WILL THEN CAST YOU INTO HELL. Fear HIM and obey HIM.

May Jesus bless you.

To confess or not to confess

It is important to confess our sins if we have sinned and to ask forgiveness, from God and also from the person whom we have sinned against. It is also important that we forgive others because if we do not forgive those who have sinned against us then we will not have forgiveness for our sins; because as Jesus taught us to pray, He said:”forgive us our transgressions as we have forgiven those who have transgressed against us.”

We must also ask forgiveness from those against whom we have sinned. But sometimes the other person does not even know that you have sinned against him and it is better not to confess to that person that you have sinned against him unless he knows about it. Especially in the case of adultery where one spouse has cheated on the other, if that person then confesses to his spouse or to her spouse that they have been unfaithful then it can destroy their marriage. As Jesus also said to the woman who was caught in adultery, He said:”Where are your prosecutors?” She said:”They have left.” and He said:”I do not condemn you ether, go and SIN NO MORE.”

There are some “purists” that will maintain that a person who has been unfaithful must confess to their partner that they have been unfaithful. Many people have been unfaithful without even realizing it. Many believers will tell you that they have never committed adultery, they have never cheated on a spouse but in their mind they have. In their mind they have lusted after another person and Jesus said:”If you look at a woman to lust after her then you have already committed adultery in your heart.” Then you are already guilty of adultery. So before we judge other people let us rather make sure that WE are pleasing to Jesus. Let us confess our sins to Jesus and live in utter holiness and purity because no sinners will enter the kingdom of heaven.

May Jesus bless you.

Fooled Believers

Many people have been fooled into believing that if they believe IN Jesus they will have eternal life. It is not believing IN Jesus that saves us, it is believing WHO HE IS and then to OBEY Him and SERVE Him as LORD and MASTER. If you believe WHO JESUS IS THEN YOU WILL OBEY, you will take His words seriously. Jesus said:”Why do you call me Lord, Lord and you do not what I say?”

The One who will judge us all in the end is Jesus Christ. The One who will decide who will go into heaven and who will go into hell is Jesus Christ. He IS the final judge and He delivered His words, His commandments to us, THE WORDS OF JESUS ARE THE WORDS OF ETERNAL LIFE. If we disobey the words of Jesus and we do not serve Him as Lord and King and Master we will perish. The words that He spoke as also recorded in the gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, those are the words that will judge us. If we disobey those words we will not have eternal life. If we do not serve Jesus Christ as Lord and Master, we will perish.

Do you believe IN Jesus and therefor believe that you are saved? Or do you believe WHO HE IS and do you honor Him and serve Him and OBEY Him as Lord and Master. Do you deny yourself, pick up your cross and follow Jesus every day? Do you TAKE HIS WORDS SERIOUSLY and PERFECTLY OBEY Him or have you also been fooled into believing that you are saved although you have no relationship with Jesus Christ. Do not be fooled. If you disobey Jesus Christ you will perish. If you do not serve and honor Him as Lord and if He is not pleased with you, you will perish. Do not be fooled, OBEY JESUS and LIVE.

May Jesus bless you.

Be careful - Be sure

Salvation is not a process where you follow certain steps. Salvation is KNOWING JESUS CHRIST, THE LIVING GOD, FOR REAL, OBEYING HIM AND FOLLOWING HIM. It is about a REAL relationship with the living God. It is not about following a series of steps, it is not about believing ON Jesus Christ, it is about KNOWING Jesus Christ.

It is through our relationship with Jesus that we get to know Him more and better every day. If we do not KNOW Jesus for real and He does not know us, then we do not have salvation because we do not know the ONE who saves. It is Jesus Christ who saves us from our sin and who gives us eternal life IF we follow Him and OBEY Him. It is our relationship with Jesus that causes us to stop sinning, to follow after Him and to DO what is pleasing to Him. It is knowing Jesus Christ as LORD and MASTER that makes us part of the kingdom of God where we serve Jesus Christ as LORD. Our relationship with Him is all that matters. It is not about our relationship and fellowship with fellow believers, it is not about our Bible knowledge. It is about KNOWING Jesus Christ and being careful to FOLLOW Him and DO every day, that which is leasing to Him.

Our focus must be ON JESUS. Is Jesus pleased with me, right now? Jesus said:”My sheep LISTEN to My voice and they FOLLOW Me.” Are you LISTENING to His voice? Do you truly KNOW Him and do you FOLLOW Him? If we do not FOLLOW and OBEY Jesus every day of our lives then we do not have salvation. Do you have eternal life? Do you have a real relationship with Jesus Christ and is He pleased with you?

May Jesus bless you.

Perfect happiness

Real happiness and fulfillment can only be found in the right relationship with Jesus Christ. People look for happiness in relationships, in achievement, in money and in many other things but in the end they are disappointed.

Only Jesus can fill that part in our lives. Only Jesus can give us real contentment and happiness. God has a plan for each of us in His kingdom and we can only be content, happy, satisfied if we live in close relationship with Jesus and we are DOING what He tells us to do, IF we are WORKING GOD'S PLAN, IF we are living in utter obedience to Jesus even though the whole world might be mad at us, might be rejecting us, persecuting us even killing us. Being in that close relationship with Jesus is all that matters.

This life is very short. Before you know it's over and then we will stand before Jesus Christ to be judged. He will reward every man according to his deeds, whether he walked in close relationship with Him and DID according to His plan, was led by His Spirit. You cannot find happiness in anything else but in that close relationship with Jesus Christ.

May Jesus bless you.

Take ownership of your inheritance

Those who turn to Jesus Christ, who follow and obey Him are born again into the kingdom of God. They become part of the kingdom of God and they serve Jesus Christ as Lord but more than that, their inheritance is the kingdom of God itself IF they endure until the end, IF they follow Jesus Christ as Lord until the very end of their lives.

If we follow Jesus Christ we must now already take possession (ownership) and responsibility of the kingdom of God. We have to work for the kingdom of God and expand it, witness for Jesus and bring more souls into His kingdom so that the kingdom can grow. The kingdom is our inheritance IF we endure and follow Jesus Christ until the end. We must care for souls that are being lost. That same attitude that was in Jesus Christ, must be in us. We must do the same works that He did. He showed us the example. We must live and walk as Jesus walked in utter obedience to the Father.

Our purpose is to seek the kingdom of God and his righteousness and to build His kingdom. If we do not endure until the end we will not inherit that kingdom of God. We have to work on it NOW. If we are of the world then we don't have an expectation of the kingdom of God. If we are building kingdoms in this world then we are of the world. We have to be building the kingdom of God. Our focus must be on Jesus and on building His kingdom, our inheritance, IF WE ENDURE!

Jesus said that until John the baptist the Law and the Prophets was preached but since John the baptist the kingdom of God is preached and violent men take it by force! (Luke 16:16). Are you taking the kingdom of God by FORCE? Are you going after it with all your power, following, obeying and serving Jesus Christ? If you do not go after it with everything that is in you, you just won't make it!

May Jesus bless you.  

The Kingdom is MOVING ON

The kingdom of God is moving on, it is growing every day. Every day more people are being born and those who decide to follow Jesus are added to His kingdom. Those who have become servants of the kingdom of God are laboring for His kingdom every day.

Have you become part of the kingdom of God and are you laboring for His kingdom? Those who are led by the Spirit of God, they are children of God. Are you being led by the Spirit of God and working in the kingdom of God or do you not belong to His kingdom?

Only faithful servants will enter the rest of the Master in the end. The unfaithful lazy servants will be cast into the Lake of Fire. Are YOU a faithful servant in the kingdom of God or do you refuse to serve the Master?

May Jesus bless you.

Is God speaking to YOU?

God made us and He cares for us. He speaks to all of us but we do not notice or we ignore Him. We read in Job 33:14 “For God speaketh once, yea twice, yet man perceiveth it not.

15In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falleth upon men, in slumberings upon the bed;
16Then He openeth the ears of men, and sealeth their instruction,
17That He may withdraw man from his purpose, and hide pride from man.
18He keepeth back his soul from the pit, and his life from perishing by the sword.
19He is chastened also with pain upon his bed, and the multitude of his bones with strong pain:
20So that his life abhorreth bread, and his soul dainty meat.
21His flesh is consumed away, that it cannot be seen; and his bones that were not seen stick out.
22Yea, his soul draweth near unto the grave, and his life to the destroyers.
23If there be a messenger with him, an interpreter, one among a thousand, to shew unto man his uprightness:
24Then He is gracious unto him, and saith, Deliver him from going down to the pit: I have found a ransom.
25His flesh shall be fresher than a child's: he shall return to the days of his youth:
26He shall pray unto God, and he will be favourable unto him: and he shall see his face with joy: for He will render unto man his righteousness.
27He looketh upon men, and if any say, I have sinned, and perverted that which was right, and it profited me not;
28He will deliver his soul from going into the pit, and his life shall see the light.
29Lo, all these things worketh God oftentimes with man,
30To bring back his soul from the pit, to be enlightened with the light of the living.”
God speaks to us through dreams, through sickness, through misfortune, God cares for us but people shrug it off. Those who are pure in heart will see God, they will see the hand of God in their lives, turning them from evil and drawing them unto Him, turning them from destruction and giving them instruction.
Do you perceive the hand of God in your life? Do you HEAR His voice? Do you LISTEN and OBEY? Nobody will have any excuse because God speaks to all of us.

May Jesus bless you.

The door closed

Last night I had a dream. My wife and I were working for the Lord Jesus and then suddenly the door was closed. I knew it was the end, the end of time. There were not many people inside and those inside were sad for those who had not made it.

Jesus said narrow is the door and straight is the gate that leads to eternal life and few there be that find it. Jesus said we must strive hard to enter the narrow door because many will try very hard and not be able. Will you find the narrow door? Will you enter into the kingdom of heaven? Are you trying very hard?

We can know whether Jesus is pleased with us. We must just ask Him for confirmation but we have to strive hard, follow Him, listen, obey and DO His will. We must stay with Him until the very, very end. Are you striving hard and has Jesus confirmed to you that He is pleased with you?

May Jesus bless you.

Broken to be useful

When I was young I had a passion for horses but I never owned a horse. However I met a guy who did cross country horse riding. He had three horses and he could only ride one so he offered me one of his horses to come and ride.

The horse that he offered me to ride was an eighteen hand Irish Hunter, a beast of an animal with an attitude. Very few people would stay on top of her. As soon as you got on her back she would start bucking and once you came off, that was game over, but I was determined. She threw me a few times and I got back on. Eventually I rode this horse. We became big friends. She was a marvelous cross country horse, a huge animal with a big heart. No obstacle would stop her, whether it be water or a six foot obstacle, she would fly right over or go right through the water. Where the other horses would back up and waver she just went and we completed many cross country drives. But I first had to subdue her, make her know that I was the boss and that is how God works with us. Unless we are broken and submit to the Master we are useless, we cannot be used.

My friend also had another horse, that was tame, she had been spoiled. She had no fear for humans but she was useless. She had no spirit, she was just spoiled and naughty you couldn't do anything with her. She was like religious people, they are religious, they are tame but they are useless, they cannot be used for the kingdom of God and that is why God takes wild horses, like me, HE BRAKES THEM and then he uses them for His kingdom. You cannot be used for the kingdom of God UNLESS YOUR SPIRIT HAS BEEN BROKEN and you have learned to SUBMIT to the Rider and GO where He sends you and DO what He tells you to do.

There is nothing as wonderful, as pleasurable as DOING WHAT THE MASTER WANTS YOU TO DO. Just like that big horse, Bonnie, she gave everything with all her heart. She was a wonderful horse ONCE SHE HAD BEEN BROKEN. God needs to break us before He can use us but we need to be willing. We need to yield. A horse that will not be broken is useless for the owner and a spoiled horse is equally useless. We need to be broken before we can be used and then we need to apply every grain of power that is in us for the kingdom of God.

Are you willing to be broken and used by the Master or do you want to play around with religion?

May Jesus bless you.

God's discipline is SEVERE

God is kind and merciful to those who repent from their wicked ways and who come to Him with a serious heart, with a contrite heart, who stop sinning and who obey Him, but He is severe on those who reject Him who disregard Him and who continue in their wickedness.

The words of Jesus, the words of life, are exact and if we want eternal life we must obey Him. By His mercy and His grace He forgives our past sin IF we truly repent. He promises us eternal life IF we obey Him, but if we disregard Him and we reject His words HIS JUDGMENT ON US IS SEVERE. The discipline of God is severe on those whom He accepts as children. He scourges every son that He accepts, He does not work lightly with His children. He does not spoil them. He treats them harshly so that they can learn His ways.

Jesus Christ, even though He was a son learned obedience through what He suffered. If you follow Jesus Christ and become a child of God you will suffer according to the flesh because those who have suffered according to the flesh have ceased from sinning. Jesus will not spoil you, He will work harshly with you when you sin because He wants you to share in His holiness. If you reject His discipline He will deal severely with you, harshly, you will END UP IN HELL.

Consider the mercy of God, that He accepts a sinner, an undeserving sinner who repents. He gives them grace and mercy but if they go back to sin and if they disobey Him He is severe and harsh and they will perish. God is not mocked. If you are a child of God you obey God. God is not a respecter of persons, He has one standard of obedience and holiness. If you are a child of God, you OBEY GOD, YOU DO NOT SIN. You live in UTTER HOLINESS and obedience to Him. His discipline is severe on those who are His children. He does not accept ANY DEVIATION. It is GOD'S WAY or it is NO WAY.

Are you following Jesus on the narrow way or are you disregarding Him because YOU WILL PERISH. There is only one way to be pleasing to God and that is through utter OBEDIENCE, UTTER DEDICATION. You GO where He sends you and you DO what He tells you or else YOU ARE NONE OF HIM.

May Jesus bless you.

You will pay for your sin

You will pay for your sins. We read in Romans 2:6-11 “God; will render to every man according to his deeds: To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honor and immortality, eternal life: But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath, Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that does evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Greek; But glory, honor, and peace, to every man that works good, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek: For there is no respect of persons with God.”
All our deeds are recorded in God's book and He will reward every person for their deeds, good or bad. Jesus said:”Follow Me.” People want salvation but they don't want to follow Jesus neither do they want to obey Him. We will only receive reward for the things that we have done in obedience to Jesus Christ. Those who run after sin and their own lusts will reap destruction for THE WAGES OF SIN IS DEATH.
What reward are we expecting to receive when we stand before the judgment throne of Jesus Christ?

May Jesus bless you.

The Kingdom is NOW

Jesus Christ is not history, neither is He human, He is God. If you know Jesus Christ then you know that He is Spirit, He is REALITY to you; you LOVE Him, you SERVE Him as LORD, you OBEY Him and you FOLLOW Him every day under guidance of His Holy Spirit that dwells inside of you.

The Kingdom of God is not “some day,” the Kingdom of God is NOW for those who are BORN AGAIN. You cannot SEE the Kingdom of God unless you are BORN AGAIN because if you are BORN AGAIN OF THE SPIRIT OF GOD then you can SEE the Kingdom of God. You experience Jesus Christ as LORD and MASTER and you FOLLOW Him EVERY DAY, NOW.

Have you met Jesus Christ for real? Do you KNOW Him? Have you received the Holy Spirit? Is He dwelling IN YOU? Is He with you and guiding you every day? Do you seek to please Him every day of your life? Is Jesus your LIFE or are you playing religious games?

Most “Christians” do not know Jesus. They are NOT Christians, they do not know Jesus. He is not their reality. They do not follow Him. They do not OBEY Him because they DO NOT KNOW HIM. Do you KNOW Jesus Christ for real? Those who KNOW Him worship Him in Spirit and in Truth. They follow Him every day and they live to please Him NOW already, not “one day” but they do EVERY DAY what His Spirit guides them to do.

Those who are led by the Spirit of God, they are the children of God. Are YOU a child of God? Are YOU part of the Kingdom of God? Is Jesus Christ your LORD? Do you FOLLOW Him and OBEY Him every day of your life? Is Jesus Christ YOUR reality?

May Jesus bless you.

I am a scholar until the end

For most of my life I have been a poor scholar. At school I did the minimum to take the grades but if we follow Jesus Christ He turns us into ardent scholars of the Kingdom of Heaven. If we are not willing to be taught by Him, to be tutored, coached and guided then we will not graduate, we will not make it into the kingdom of Heaven.

We must go into the kingdom of heaven through much tribulation. Jesus teaches us through suffering. He, even though He was the Son of God, learned through what He suffered and if we follow Him we will suffer and we will suffer until the very end because we will be scholars of His kingdom until the very end of our lives. It is only those who are willing to learn, who are willing to be guided by the Holy Spirit, those who submit themselves to Jesus Christ and who are taught and guided by the Holy Spirit, it is only those who will qualify in the end and make it into the Kingdom of Heaven. If we refuse to be taught and coached and disciplined by the Holy Spirit then we will not be suitable to enter the Kingdom of Heaven, then we will not graduate and have eternal life.

Are you a scholar of the Kingdom of Heaven? Are you teachable? Do you submit to Jesus and are you guided by the Holy Spirit? Do you expect to graduate because you have finished the curriculum and you have met the requirements of the Examiner? Are you pleasing to Jesus in everything you do? Are you a scholar of the Kingdom of Heaven?

May Jesus bless your.

Be a witness

When the disciples found Jesus Christ the Messiah they immediately started following Him, they obeyed Him and they told the world that they had found Messiah, Jesus Christ.

If we believe in Jesus Christ we will FOLLOW Him and OBEY Him and be witnesses of Jesus Christ. Jesus said that if we deny Him before men He will also deny us before His Father who is in heaven. Are we witnesses for Jesus? Jesus said that He will say to many in that day:”Go away I never knew you.”

Will Jesus know YOU on that day? Do you OBEY Him? Are you a witness for Jesus Christ or will Jesus also deny you on that day?

May Jesus bless you.
