Wakey Wakey!

The vast majority of Christian believers are fast asleep. Many of them believe that they have salvation security but MOST of them have no relationship with Jesus Christ whatsoever. Many know the Bible, others just belong to churches and they go fellowship with church people. Many have said a sinners prayer and now they believe that they have salvation and they are saved but they have no relationship with Jesus! They are living in sin and in unrighteousness but they believe that when they die they will go to heaven. They will perish!
It is only those who walk closely with Jesus, who LISTEN to HIS VOICE and who FOLLOW Him, who OBEY Him, who live in holiness and righteousness, it is only they who will have salvation. Jesus said:”My sheep LISTEN to MY VOICE and they FOLLOW ME.” Who do you LISTEN to and who do you follow? Do you follow Jesus Christ or your own mind, your own ambitions? Do you do what YOU like, what YOU feel like and what YOU please? Or do you listen to OTHER PEOPLE? Who are you following? Are you following Jesus Christ?
It is only those who deny themselves, pick up their cross and follow Jesus EVERY DAY, it is only they who will have eternal life. It is time to WAKE UP and follow Jesus.

May Jesus bless you.

Praying IN THE SPIRIT

Prayer brings us into UNITY with God. It is not sufficient for us just to pray with our mind but we need to pray in the Spirit, WITH the Holy Spirit of God. When we pray we need to TUNE IN to the Holy Spirit and let the Spirit of God FILL our mind with the mind of Christ so that we will know what to rightfully pray.
The apostle Paul writes in Romans 8:26 that we do not know rightfully what to pray but but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words. When we come into unison with the Spirit of God then the MIND OF CHRIST is instilled/implanted into us. He puts into our mind those things that are important for the Spirit of God and we can pray ACCORDING TO THE WILL OF GOD. We can intercede according to the WILL OF THE SPIRIT and we come into unity with God.
Prayer is not just a matter of reciting your grocery list to God:”Forgive me this and forgive me that, and give me this and give me that.” NO, it is COMING INTO CLOSE RELATIONSHIP with Jesus Christ through His Spirit. We have to SPEND TIME WITH THE LORD and let His Spirit permeate us and FILL us with the MIND OF CHRIST then we will be able to pray according to the will of God and we will also KNOW the MIND of Christ.

May Jesus bless you.

Walking in the GREATER WORKS

If we follow Jesus Christ signs and wonders will follow us because Jesus said that he who believes in Him will do the works that He did AND GREATER. Jesus also said that it was not Him who did the works that He did but the Father who LIVED IN HIM. If Jesus Christ LIVES IN US then it will be HIM IN US doing the works.
When we follow Jesus He shows us what to do, He tells us what to DO and what to SAY. By FAITH we TRUST Him, we OBEY Him and signs and wonders follow. When Peter and the other disciples saw Jesus walking on the sea, Peter asked Jesus if he could also walk to Him on the sea and Jesus said:”Come!” Peter got out of the boat and he walked on the sea ON THE COMMAND OF JESUS. He did the impossible but when he took His eyes off Jesus and he saw the waves and the water HE SUNK, because he took his eyes off the Master.
If we keep our eyes on the Master then we will do what He commands us to do and the greater works will follow, Jesus said, for those who HAVE BELIEVED and HAVE BEEN BAPTIZED these signs shall follow: They will lay their hands on the sick and they will recover, they will speak in other tongues, they will drink poison, they will take up snakes and nothing will happen to them.
The greater works will follow those who follow Jesus. Are the GREATER WORKS following YOU and me? Do we truly believe and are we following Jesus Christ? Are the GREATER WORKS following us?

May Jesus bless you.

Greater Works Gospel of Jesus Christ

The gospel of Jesus Christ is a WORKS BASED GOSPEL. We prove by our WORKS that we love Jesus Christ. He said:”If you love Me, OBEY MY COMMANDS. He said:”The one who believes in Me, the WORKS that I do he will do also and GREATER WORKS.
If you believe in Jesus Christ you have to COME INTO ACTION. You either show by your works that you love Jesus and that you follow Him, that you deny yourself, you do not participate in the things of the world and that you reserve yourself unto Him, you concentrate every effort, your whole life to Jesus Christ OR you disregard Him. Then you show that you HATE Him, that you don't love Him and that you don't care for Him. If you care for the kingdom of God and for Jesus you OBEY Him, you deny yourself and you GO AFTER HIM. You leave everything, all your own interests, all your own plans and you GO AFTER Jesus, you APPREHEND Him, you SEEK Him, you seek to HEAR from Him every day, every moment. You seek His will and you DO IT! You don't just say:”I believe and therefor I am saved.”
If you BELIEVE in Jesus you GO AFTER HIM. You OBEY Him, you SEEK Him every day and you are never satisfied until you KNOW that you are DOING what is pleasing in His sight and unless He TELLS you that He is pleased with you.
The gospel of Jesus Christ is a WORKS BASED GOSPEL. Faith without works is DEAD. Do you prove by your WORKS, by your DEEDS, by your OBEDIENCE that you love Jesus? Can the world see by what you DO that you are a child of God and that you follow Jesus Christ? If the world cannot see it YOUR FAITH IS DEAD and WORTHLESS and you will perish.
If you do wicked works you are a son of the devil, if you sin you are a son of satan and Jesus will say to many BELIEVERS:”Go away from Me I never knew you, you WORKERS OF WICKEDNESS.” Are you working the works of Christ or the works of the flesh and the devil? Are you proving by your works that you are a child of God?

May Jesus bless you.

How to SEE and HEAR God

The reason why people cannot see or hear God is because of sin. Sin separates you from God. You need to have your sin removed from you before you can come into the presence of the living God. How do we do that?
You REPENT from sin, you TURN AWAY FROM SIN and you plead Jesus Christ forgiveness with remorse and sorrow and you plead Him to remove the guilt of your sin and to accept you as a child of God. If you cry out to Jesus from your heart and you are serious and you remove your idols and your sin from you then you will come into His presence, you will experience the presence of the LIVING GOD, Jesus Christ, but then you have to have your sins washed off through water baptism.
Once you have been baptized in water for the washing off of your sin you can ask Jesus Christ for the Holy Spirit that He promised to those who have repented and who have been baptized in water. He will fill you with His Spirit, with His presence and you will experience His presence, you will HEAR Him, you will SEE Him, you will experience Him IF you keep yourself HOLY and DEVOTED to Him.
Without HOLINESS no man shall see the Lord. Only those who are PURE IN HEART will see God. It is only when your heart is pure and you live in utter holiness and obedience that you can experience the presence of God. When you have received the Holy Spirit that dwells inside of you and you HEAR the Master's voice CLEARLY, you have to deny yourself every day, pick up your cross and live in utter holiness and obedience to Him and then you will experience Him, you will SEE the kingdom of God and you will KNOW the KING Himself.
Those who sin do not know Him and they have not seen Him. If you want to SEE GOD and HEAR GOD, get rid of your sin and BE HOLY.

May Jesus bless you.

Whom do YOU listen to?

God speaks to everybody. Jesus Christ gives His Holy Spirit in those seek Him, who love Him and who WANT TO obey Him and He GUIDES them by His Holy Spirit. His sheep LISTEN to His voice and they follow HIM.
Where you you go to for your guidance? Whom do you listen to? Do you follow your own mind? Do you listen to other people or do you get your guidance from Jesus Christ? Are you of His flock, of HIS sheep? Or are you of another flock? Have you joined another flock? Do you listen to people to church leaders and people, teachers that have been appointed by those churches and organizations? Are they your leaders? Do you get your guidance from them? Or do you go to Jesus? Do you PRAY, LISTEN and WAIT on Him for guidance? Whom do you follow?
Jesus Christ alone is the WAY, the TRUTH and the LIFE. If you want eternal life then you get your guidance from Him. You LISTEN to HIM and you follow HIM. You SEEK Him. Jesus rewards those who diligently seek Him, those who seek His guidance, who seek His presence, He SPEAKS to them. He guides them. He reveals Himself to them. His sheep do not listen to strangers. They go to HIM for guidance because Jesus Christ IS their LIFE. Whom do YOU listen to?

May Jesus bless you.

God is speaking to YOU

God speaks to all of us, He has not abandoned us. He cares for is but we do not recognize His voice. God speaks in many ways. He speaks through sickness, through our circumstances, sometimes He speaks in a dream but people don't take notice.
Jesus said:”My sheep LISTEN to My voice and they follow Me.” If we follow Jesus Christ then we will recognize His voice . We will Be TUNED IN and LISTENING. Most people don't listen. They don't realize that God is speaking to them but we will have no excuse when we stand before Jesus in judgment day because He has been knocking at the door of our hearts, all of us.
He is calling us, seeking us to come closer to Him, to LISTEN to Him, to come into communion with Him but people don't want it. They seek their own desires, they don't seek God. If we seek Him, we find Him. If we draw closer to Him, HE DRAWS CLOSER TO US. Jesus has never left us nor abandoned us but sin separates us from God.
We need to REPENT, turn away from sin, obey Jesus, be baptized in water and seek Him for the infilling of His Holy Spirit so that we will EXPERIENCE HIS PRESENCE with us, every moment then we will HEAR Him all the time. But we need to SEEK HIM.
Are you seeking God? Are you seeking your guidance from Him or are you following your own desires and your own mind? Without Jesus we can do nothing. We need Jesus NOW and for eternity or we will perish. God is speaking to YOU. Are you LISTENING?

May Jesus bless you.

Casual Christians will perish in hell

Casual Christians are only fooling themselves. Jesus Christ said that:”Whoever wishes to come after Me must deny himself, pick up his cross daily and come here follow Me.” Jesus Christ is not interested in casual followers.
People who are lukewarm will not enter the kingdom of heaven. Jesus said that if we are lukewarm He will VOMIT us out of His mouth. If we want eternal life we must take Jesus Christ seriously and take our relationship with Him seriously.
If you are not willing to commit to utterly obey Jesus Christ and follow Him every step of the way, to deny yourself, pick up your cross and follow Him every day then you are wasting your time because you will NOT have eternal life and you will NOT enter the kingdom of heaven.
Jesus Christ requires TOTAL COMMITMENT, TOTAL OBEDIENCE UNTIL THE VERY, VERY END.

May Jesus bless you.

The Message is Jesus Christ

The message of salvation is JESUS CHRIST and Him alone. It is not the Bible, it is not Church, or doctrine or anything else. It is about Jesus Christ KNOWING HIM. It is not what you believe it is WHOM YOU BELIEVE IN and whether HE KNOWS YOU,whether you serve Him as Lord and live your life to please Him, that is all that matters.
The moment you die you will stand before Jesus, you will face Him and He will either KNOW you or He will say to you: “Go away I never knew you.” You might KNOW ABOUT JESUS, you might have a Bible, you might belong to a church but if you do not KNOW THE CREATOR of everything, JESUS CHRIST Himself then He will also turn you away.
Jesus is knocking at the door of your heart, inviting you to come to Him, to accept Him, to be in relationship with Him, a relationship of Servant - Master, child - Father, obediently following, serving and obeying Him. If you want eternal life? You need Jesus Christ. That is the message. Obey Jesus or perish.

May Jesus bless you.

Hear from God

The people who wrote the scriptures that make up the Bible experienced God and Jesus Christ for themselves and that is what they wrote about. They testified about God, about Jesus Christ because they KNEW Him for real.
The people who wrote the gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke & John) recorded what Jesus said, what they saw, what they heard. They touched Him. The apostles who wrote the letters of the New Testament also knew Jesus for real. They received the Holy Spirit and they were guided by the Holy Spirit, they KNEW Jesus, they knew that He IS alive, they testified that He is ALIVE. They followed Him, they didn't follow books or other people. They testified of God, of Jesus Christ.
Have you come to know Jesus Christ FOR REAL since you read the Bible? Or do you still just read the Bible? Do you listen to people and follow them? Do you take the word of people or have you come to know Jesus Christ HIMSELF for yourself? Do you know Him for real? Do you hear from HIM or from people? Who do you follow? If you know Jesus you will follow Him and you will have a testimony, you will witness that Jesus is alive.
If you do not know Him for real, you do not hear His voice, you do not experience Him then you DO TO KNOW HIM! HE will say to many believers who just read the Bible and listened to other people, Jesus will say to them:”Go away I never knew you, you workers of wickedness.” Do you KNOW Jesus Christ? Do you hear from HIM? Those who are led by the Spirit of God THEY ARE THE CHILDREN OF GOD. Are you led by the Spirit of God or to you accept the testimony of other people, do you run after other people? Because then you will fall into the ditch. You need to KNOW Jesus, LISTEN to His VOICE and FOLLOW Him.
Seek Him UNTIL YOU FIND HIM! Jesus Christ is ALIVE. You must hear from Him FOR YOURSELF.

May Jesus bless you.

Praying into fresh air

Many people say that they do not know HOW to pray. WHOM to pray to (Jesus or God), and then they complain that their prayers are not answered. The writer of Hebrews writes in Hebrews 11:6 “Without faith it is impossible to please God. Whomever goes to God must believe that He IS and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him,” those who earnestly seek Him. If you do not believe that God exists and if you do not believe that He is hearing your prayer and that He will answer your prayer then you will receive nothing. The apostle James wrote in James 1:5 “If any man needs wisdom let him ASK OF GOD who gives to all men freely” but you have to pray IN FAITH, BELIEVING that you will receive what you asked or else you will receive nothing. If you pray you must pray BELIEVING. If you don't believe that God exists and that He is hearing your prayer YOU ARE WASTING YOUR TIME, you are praying into fresh air and you will receive fresh air, you will receive NOTHING. You have to EARNESTLY SEEK HIM and then you will find Him. He will reward you, He will answer your prayer but you have to BELIEVE. Do you BELIEVE when you pray? May Jesus bless you.

Living Water

We read in the gospel of John, chapter 4, about a Samaritan woman whom Jesus asked for a drink of water, and then He said to her that if she knew the gift of God and Whom it was speaking to her she would ask HIM and He would give her LIVING WATER that would become in her a well of LIVING WATER that springs up INTO ETERNAL LIFE. Jesus was talking about the Holy Spirit that He promised to all those who love Him and who obey Him. He promised us the Holy Spirit that will become IN US a well of LIVING WATER. It will FILL us and overflow and it will spring up into eternal life. It is the PRESENCE of Jesus Christ IN US, WITH US all the time, guiding us step by step unto eternal life. Have YOU asked Jesus for the LIVING WATER? Have you received that LIVING WATER that bubbles up in you every day, that sustains you, that guides you and teaches you that keeps you on the straight and narrow road? Have you received the Holy Spirit? Do you have that well of living water bubbling up inside of you? May Jesus bless you.

Stay Tuned

You can only watch the news if you are tuned in to the right channel. You can only play good music on a tuned instrument. You can only HEAR the VOICE of Jesus Christ and FOLLOW Him if you are TUNED IN TO HIM all the time. You can only be used by Jesus if you are a tuned instrument in His hand. Are you TUNED IN and are you TUNED? May Jesus bless you.

Occupation of a Christian

Your occupation is that thing which you OCCUPY yourself all the time, that with which you keep yourself busy, that which is always on your mind. If you follow Jesus Christ and you call yourself a Christian, then your OCCUPATION should be Jesus Christ alone and nothing else. Jesus said: “Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and His Righteousness and all the other things will be added unto you.” People normally keep themselves busy with, trying to make a living, realizing their ambitions or seeking pleasure. But a follower of Jesus Christ always seeks to be PLEASING to Jesus Christ in everything that He does, in every aspect of His life. His mind is always on Jesus because He follows Jesus and Jesus determines His life. Jesus supplies in all his needs. Jesus guides him in whatever job he has to do. Jesus guides his footsteps and determines every aspect of his life, but the important thing is that we should be ASKING JESUS for guidance in every aspect of our life. If we do not ask guidance from Him, we will not receive guidance. Many people occupy themselves with religious exercises, occupy themselves with Bible study, attending church services, listening to other people. If you are a follower of Jesus, you LISTEN TO HIM, you PRAY, you ASK of Him, you WAIT on Him, you LISTEN UNTIL HE ANSWERS YOU, and He will answer you, He might not answer you straight away but He will answer you in His time. But because you are following HIM, you WAIT on HIM and he will answer in His time. If you follow Jesus and you want eternal life you become part of the Kingdom of God, JESUS is your KING, He is your LORD, He is your MASTER but He does not rule over you, you SUBMIT yourself to Him and you SEEK HIS GUIDANCE. You offer yourself to Him as a servant and you WAIT ON HIM. You live your life to please Him. Your OCCUPATION IS JESUS CHRIST. What is your occupation? What do you keep yourself busy with? If it is not Jesus then it will all perish. If you want life that endures forever then your OCCUPATION must be JESUS CHRIST and being pleasing to Him. May Jesus bless you.

Compulsions to Curse the Holy Spirit

Many people have a compulsion, something in them that wants them to blaspheme the Holy Spirit and to curse God. Many people are demon possessed and it is these demons that are in them that want to compel them, want to make them curse God and curse the Holy Spirit. Often these demons that are in people themselves curse God through these people, it is not that person who cursed but it is the demon that is in him and then this demon in them turns around and tells them that they have blasphemed the Holy Spirit.
The devil uses the Bible to lie to you and to prevent you from following Jesus Christ. He uses scripture to prevent you from going back to Jesus. Many people who have backslidden have been prevented from going back to Jesus after reading Hebrews 10:26 which says that if a person has once known Jesus it is impossible to renew such a person to repentance. With God nothing is impossible. Jesus will NEVER reject a person who repents but the devil will do everything to prevent you from going back to Jesus.
Many people have become demon possessed because they watched TV, played video games. These psychological disorders, ADD and compulsion to say words that people do not mean to say, that is demon possession, it is not psychological illness. It is a demon in you. You can cast that demon out! Submit yourself to Jesus, repent of sin, be baptized in water and then you can cast out that demon. Go and pray and rebuke that demon in the name of Jesus Christ. Keep on rebuking that demon and tell it to leave you and those demons will leave you! They might manifest. You might yawn or cough or even vomit mucous but the demon must come out when you cast them out in the name of Jesus. Keep on praying, keep on rejecting that demon in the name of Jesus Christ and he must leave you. But then don't go back to sin because then your end will be worse than your beginning. You might be demon possessed!
Only Jesus can set you absolutely free and He wants to set you free. Do not let anything stop you from going back to Jesus. Do not listen to the lies of the devil but submit yourself to Jesus, repent of all sin, resist the devil and he will flee from you but STAY with Jesus because if you go back to sin and open the door for the devil then your end will be worse than your beginning. Seek Jesus NOW and He will set you free.
May Jesus bless you.

Seek the will of God

There is a road that seams right to man but the end of that road is destruction. That is why we need to SEEK THE WILL OF GOD. Jesus commanded us to SEEK FIRST THE KINGDOM OF GOD and His righteousness and then all the other things WILL BE ADDED UNTO US. He taught us to pray:”Thy kingdom, THY come will be done...” It is only when we seek the will of God that we have REAL LIFE but we must first walk in righteousness and in holiness.
The prophet Micah wrote in Micah 6:8:”He has shown you o man what is good and what does the Lord require of you but to DO justly and to LOVE MERCY and to WALK HUMBLY WITH THY GOD.” We first have to seek righteousness and holiness and then we can walk in the presence of God, then we can seek the will of God.
Are you seeking the will of God or are on the road that leads to destruction?

May Jesus bless you.

Educated into IGNORANCE

Knowledge makes puffed up. The more people study, the more ignorant and arrogant they become because they think that they know everything. That also goes for Bible students, they think that they know more than anybody else they even think that they know more than God but they do not know God.
You can only KNOW God through a relationship with Jesus Christ. You cannot know what will happen next from interpreting the prophecies, you can only know what will happen next IF you walk with Jesus and He reveals Himself to you. Jesus shares His secret counsel with those who live close to Him, who love Him, who follow Him and who DO His will.
Do YOU know Jesus Christ intimately? Do you LISTEN to His voice and follow Him or do you think that you know more that Jesus Christ because you know your Bible?
If we need wisdom we must ask of God who gives to all men freely. Jesus sent the Holy Spirit to guide us into all truth. Those who ignore the Holy Spirit and refuse to LISTEN and be guided by Him will remain in darkness because they are ignorant.

May Jesus bless you

YOU MUST BE BORN AGAIN

We must be born again to follow Jesus and have eternal life.

Our sinful nature needs to die and we need to be REBORN of the Spirit of God.

We must LAY DOWN our OLD SINFUL SELF before we can take on the NEW SELF that is born of God. 

The old SELF is selfish and sinful and only cares about pleasure and self gratification at whatever cost. The NEW SELF cares for Jesus and the kingdom of God.

We lay down the OLD SELF by REPENTING, turning AWAY from our old lifestyle and we embrace Jesus to DO what is pleasing to Him. We plead forgiveness from Jesus and BREAK with sin and the things that displease Jesus and we TAKE ON the NEW SELF that is born of the Spirit of God.

We have to BURY the OLD SELF through water baptism. The old self is BURIED UNDER THE WATER and we EMERGE FROM THE WATER clothed with the NEW SELF. It is a deed of OBEDIENCE and a PUBLIC CONFESSION that we have taken on the image of Jesus Christ, we are now following Him. 

Jesus promised the baptism in the Holy Spirit to those who OBEY Him, who REPENT and are BAPTIZED IN WATER.

Jesus fulfilled that promise on the day of Pentecost as we read in Acts 1 & 2. and ever since ALL those who FOLLOW AND OBEY HIM are baptized in the Holy Spirit WITH SPEAKING OF TONGUES. 

WE NEED the Holy Spirit baptism as Jesus also commanded His disciples.  "He commanded them not to leave Jerusalem, but to wait for what the Father had promised, “Which,” He said, “you heard of from Me; 5for John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now.”

Jesus said: "you WILL RECEIVE POWER when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be My witnesses" Acts 1:4,5,8) This happened on the day of Pentecost: Acts 2.1-36

We read in Acts 2:38, "Peter said to them, “Repent, and each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39“For the promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off, as many as the Lord our God will call to Himself.” 

After being baptized SEEK, PRAY AND WAIT ON JESUS FOR the BAPTISM IN THE HOLY SPIRIT.

That is what it means to be born again but THEN the HARD WORK STARTS and that is why we need the Holy Spirit. We must be led by the Holy Spirit, Jesus IN US. He gives us the POWER to endure IF we STAY with HIM, LISTEN and OBEY until the END. It is all about our relationship WITH Jesus, THROUGH the HOLY SPIRIT. HE will guide us into all truth IF we KEEP ON FOLLOWING HIM.

Our relationship with Jesus is built through PRAYER and OBEDIENCE TO HIM.

Jesus will speak to us in our spirit that has been united with His Spirit because we have been born again. He will remind us also of the words that Jesus spoke when He walked as a man, those words are recorded in the gospels: Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Those are the words of eternal life for those who OBEY them. We must READ those words and OBEY His Spirit who will speak IN US. That is how we follow Jesus.

We will be His witnesses if we follow Him. We will also be rejected and persecuted just like the first followers of Jesus but those who ENDURE UNTIL THE END will have the prize of eternal life.

IN Tribulation

The moment that you start following Jesus, the devil becomes your enemy and he will do anything and everything that he can to DISCOURAGE you and STOP you from following Jesus. The moment that you start FOLLOWING JESUS you will suffer rejection, persecution and tribulation. Jesus said that “in this world you will have tribulation but take courage I have overcome the world.”
If you are NOT suffering rejection, persecution and tribulation, then you are NOT following Jesus Christ. Most believers do not suffer persecution, it is because they are NOT following Jesus Christ. They are NOT denying themselves, NOT picking up their cross every day and following Jesus. If you LISTEN to that Voice of the Holy Spirit inside of you and you OBEY, you CHOOSE to live HOLY and RIGHTEOUS and DO those things that please Jesus then the world will REJECT you, your family will reject you, you will be persecuted, you will suffer tribulation.
Are you suffering tribulation? If you are NOT IN TRIBULATION you are NOT IN CHRIST. Then your relationship with Jesus Christ is NOT REAL. All those who follow Jesus Christ will be IN TRIBULATION.

May Jesus bless you.

Serve Jesus NOW or you will PERISH

The Kingdom of God is NOW, not some time in the future. Jesus Christ is Lord, right now and if we are not willing to serve Him right now, then we are not willing to serve the King of the Kingdom.
Jesus said that unless you are born again, you cannot see the Kingdom of God. If you accept Jesus Christ as your LORD and MASTER then you become part of the Kingdom of God and you SERVE HIM as LORD, you are led by the Holy Spirit and you OBEY HIM, you WORK for His Kingdom. You are part of His Kingdom. If you REFUSE to obey Jesus now, if you REFUSE to serve Him now, then you are not part of His Kingdom. Then you have no hope of salvation. Only those who follow and obey Jesus Christ now, who serve Him as Lord and Master and who EXPAND His Kingdom, who work for His Kingdom, who witness for Him, who let their Light shine for Jesus, only they recognize and honor Him as Lord and King and Master.
Most believers just want salvation. They want to go to Heaven when they die but they do not want to serve the Lord and Master and King of Heaven, right now. If you do not serve Jesus as Lord now, every day, deny yourself, pick up your cross and follow Jesus Christ every day, then you are not part of His Kingdom and you WILL NEVER BE PART OF HIS KINGDOM, YOU WILL NOT HAVE ETERNAL LIFE.

Are you SERVING JESUS NOW? Do you OBEY HIM NOW? Is JESUS CHRIST your LORD? Or are you NOT PART of the KINGDOM OF GOD? May Jesus bless you.

How to SAVE THE WORLD

My reply to a young friend who wants to know how to SAVE THE WORLD:
"Dear friend, without Jesus we can do nothing. We need Jesus and the world needs Jesus. We must OBEY Jesus. repent of sin, be baptized in water for washing off of our sin, live righteously and holy, OBEYING the voice of Jesus speaking in our heart. always praying and LISTENING to Jesus. Then we can TELL others about Jesus and introduce them to Jesus so they can also KNOW Him and OBEY Him and have the HOPE of eternal life IF they STAY with Jesus until the end."

God's servants are not beggars

Living by faith does not mean begging for money to preach the gospel. Disciples of Jesus are not beggars neither are they supported by church organizations. FAITH COMES BY THE HEARING when Jesus CALLS you and you GO WHERE HE SENDS YOU. Then He goes ahead of you and SUPPLIES IN ALL YOUR NEEDS. 
Missionaries, churches and ministries who beg for money are not from God NOR for God. They are FOR MONEY.
THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS NOT ABOUT MONEY, IT IS ABOUT HOLINESS, RIGHTEOUSNESS AND OBEDIENCE TO JESUS CHRIST.

Church is a SCAM

Churches are for the most part just a money making scam that ensures an income for the owners and for the clergy that are employed by the church organization. Churches do not take people to Jesus Christ. Clergy do not know Jesus Christ at all. If they knew Jesus they would follow Him, they would take people to Jesus and make disciples who themselves would follow Jesus Christ.
Churches are a means unto themselves. It is all about the organization and the MONEY. They tell people to COME TO CHURCH, not to GO TO JESUS. They tell people to listen to the clergy, not to LISTEN TO JESUS and FOLLOW HIM.
Jesus said:”My sheep LISTEN to My VOICE and they FOLLOW Me. They will not listen to strangers nor run after them.” The clergy in the pulpits are the strangers, they are EMPLOYED by the ”church.” A follower of Jesus, a person called to preached the gospel of Jesus Christ, preaches WITHOUT PAYMENT. He preaches because he is CALLED BY THE MASTER. He testifies because he KNOWS Jesus NOT BECAUSE HE IS GETTING PAID and because he is employed by the “church.” It is not about the money it is about Jesus Christ.
IF you KNOW Jesus Christ, you FOLLOW HIM, you LISTEN to HIM and you live your life to please HIM. Jesus IS your life, every moment of your life belongs to Jesus. You don't go to church, YOU ARE THE CHURCH because Jesus lives IN YOU and you FOLLOW HIM, His Spirit dwells IN YOU, you ARE THE CHURCH; you follow Him and you GO where he sends you, you DO what He tells you and you ARE A WITNESS! You tell everybody that JESUS CHRIST IS ALIVE! Your light shines every moment because you KNOW the King of kings and the Lord of lords, you've got no business with “church.” ~ YOU ARE THE CHURCH!
Do YOU go to “church” or ARE YOU the CHURCH? Are you the Body of Christ in which Jesus dwells. Do you FOLLOW Jesus and DO what is pleasing to Him?

May Jesus bless you.

Jesus IS ALIVE!

Jesus Christ is ALIVE! Those who KNOW HIM and FOLLOW HIM live their life to please Him. Most professing believers do not know Jesus. They read ABOUT Him in the Bible and they go to church and have fellowship with OTHER PEOPLE, they listen to preachers who do not know Jesus anyway.
IF YOU KNOW JESUS you will listen to HIM, you will follow HIM, you will be taught by HIM and you will introduce other people TO HIM.
Jesus Christ IS ALIVE, He is not in a book, He is not in a church. Those people who sit with their heads in the Book, they don't know Him! Those people who sit in church, they don't know Jesus! If they knew Him they would follow Him.
I KNOW Jesus Christ, He is ALIVE! Therefor I want to introduce you to Jesus. I am saying to you: Friend, go on your knees, cry out to Jesus, repent of sin, be baptized in water and Jesus will reveal Himself to you. His sheep LISTEN to His VOICE and they FOLLOW Him! They don't read books, they don't listen to people, they KNOW the MASTER and they follow Him!
Do you KNOW Jesus Christ? Is He real to you? Do you follow Him? Is Jesus Christ your REALITY?

May Jesus bless you.

Prophetic Ministries is a big SCAM

So called prophetic ministries is a HUGE SCAM, it is a distraction. It distracts people from following Jesus Christ. Prophets cannot tell you where to run to and what will happen tomorrow. Only GOD knows and if you follow Jesus, HE HIMSELF will guide you step by step. Many people follow these prophetic ministries. They hang on the lips of so called prophetic ministries, people who use their own mind to try and work out what God will do next by examining prophecies in the Scriptures. They are just guessing and distracting people from following Jesus Christ.
Jesus said: “Follow Me” and He will guide you, He will teach you. You will not be in darkness but if you spend your time watching prophetic videos and listening to these prophetic ministries then you will not be following Jesus. You will be in darkness. Jesus reveals His secrets to those who love Him, who obey Him and who follow Him. His secrets are not in the Scriptures and even if you read the Scriptures you will not find the secrets there because it is not a secret anymore. He will tell you His secrets if you walk with Him.
If you listen to people you will be in darkness. If you follow Jesus and listen to Him then you will be in the Light. You will know the Truth and the Truth will guide you and set you free. Who are you listening to? To people, or are you following Jesus Himself?

May Jesus bless you.

The world loves entertainment, and so do most Christians but those same Christians do not love Jesus or else they would not spend their time with entertainment but with Jesus. Jesus said that we must follow Him. He never told us to have fellowship with each other or to occupy ourselves with Bible study, with Christian camps or watching Christian television.
The worldly Christians have just put the word “Christian” in front of their entertainment. Their churches are entertainment houses. Their Christian Television is just entertainment. Their Bible studies and meetings, their fellowships are just entertainment. They love Christian camps, Christian retreats, but they cannot walk with Jesus. They cannot pray. They cannot follow Jesus. They have Christian books and they are watching Christian videos, Christian TV all day. They are being entertained from morning to night, but they cannot spend time with Jesus. They cannot testify for Jesus.
Spending time with Christian entertainment, that does not please God. What pleases God is that we DO HIS WILL, that we spend time with Jesus, LISTEN to the Holy Spirit, GO where He sends us and DO what He tells us, not to be entertained for the pleasure of our own flesh. Christian entertainment has just taken the place of worldly entertainment. They’ve got Christian dancing in the churches, everything that is in the world is in the church but JESUS CHRIST IS NOT IN THE CHURCH. And those people in church are NOT FOLLOWING JESUS CHRIST.
Do you love Jesus Christ? Do you spend time with Him? Do you follow Him? Do you listen to Him? Do you truly love Him? Or do you JUST LOVE CHRISTIAN ENTERTAINMENT?

May Jesus bless you.

Poisonous Junk Food

Jesus said that man will not live from bread alone but from every Word that proceeds from the Mouth of God. The Words that Jesus Christ spoke are the Words of eternal life and those Words were recorded in the Gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Those are the Words of eternal life FOR THOSE WHO OBEY THEM. Those Words are true Bread and those who obey them will LIVE by those Words, but people don’t want to obey the Words of Jesus and therefore they listen to people. They go and listen to PEOPLE at churches, which are franchises, they eat junk food. They listen to people9preachers) who entertain them with their own thoughts, theories and theologies, but they will not accept the Words of Jesus Christ and that is why they will perish. They go to these franchises, CHURCHES ARE FRANCHISES, there are Methodists, Apostolic, Calvinist, Baptist, all kinds of franchises that belong to the Kingdom of Church and all of these franchises dish up their own junk food.
The Words of Jesus are true Bread, that is the Bread of Life. If you want eternal life? Go and read the Words of Jesus as recorded in the Gospels and the Holy Spirit will confirm those Words to you, will write them on your heart and will remind you of the Words of Life, the Words of Jesus Christ, the WORDS THAT PROCEEDS FROM THE MOUTH OF GOD. Jesus said: “My sheep listen to My voice and they follow Me.”

Who are you listening to? Do you listen to the Words of Jesus and receive the Words that proceed from the Mouth of God? Or are you eating junk food, listening to the junk that comes of the pulpits of the franchises, the churches of this world? If you want eternal life, LISTEN TO THE WORDS OF JESUS CHRIST and OBEY them, don’t listen to the fast food franchises. May Jesus bless you.

Why believers do not stop sinning

There are many reasons why BELIEVERS keep on sinning. One of the main reasons is that people BELIEVE LIES that other people tell them and they do not take Jesus Christ seriously. If they really believe in Jesus, they will immediately stop sinning and obey His Words. The Words of Jesus as also recorded in the Gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John are the Words of eternal life and we will be judged by those Words. Those who OBEY the Words of Jesus will have LIFE but those who DISOBEY Him will perish. If you truly follow Jesus Christ, you will live according to HIS WORDS as they are also recorded in the Gospels, because if you do not obey Jesus you will have no relationship with Him whatsoever. 
Jesus does not have fellowship with sinners. Sin separates you from Jesus. The moment you disobey Him, that sin separates you from Him. If you seriously want to follow Jesus then He will immediately put you right. He will immediately warn you, chastise you but He will not allow you to sin. If you follow Jesus, you WILL NOT SIN. It is because people are NOT following Jesus Christ, they have NO relationship with Him. They do not know His voice, they do not listen to Him. They do not CARE to hear His voice because they THINK that they have salvation. They have been deceived. His sheep LISTEN to His voice and they follow Him. They do not go after sin, they go after Jesus. They do not go after their own affairs. They go after the Kingdom of God. Their focus is on Jesus, they live for Him. 
Jesus said: Whoever WISHES to come after Me must deny himself, pick up his cross every day and come here and follow Me. YOU CANNOT SIN AND FOLLOW Jesus Christ. If you are in any sin, lies, fornication, pornography, then you are not following Jesus, you are not IN Christ, you are IN SIN and in danger of hellfire. You CANNOT SIN and follow Jesus Christ. If you follow Jesus, you obey Him. You do everything exactly as He commanded. You REPENT, you turn away from sin, you’re baptized in water for the washing off of your sin and then you live in UTTER HOLINESS and OBEDIENCE TO HIM every day of your life until the very last day of your life. You seek to please Him. You are in relationship with Him. All that matters to you is to be pleasing to Jesus. If we do not obey Him, we will perish. If you follow Jesus Christ you will stop sinning. May Jesus bless you.

It is NOT finished

Your troubles are not finished when you decide to follow Jesus Christ. It is then when your troubles start. It is then when your troubles and your trials and your struggle, when all of that starts and it will never end until the day that you die. Only those who ENDURE until the very end will be saved. Only those who follow Jesus UNTIL THE END will eventually be saved. When Jesus hung on that Cross and He gave up the ghost. He said: “It is finished.” It was then that, that which God had sent Him for, His mission, when that was finished.
But when we decide to follow Jesus Christ then our struggles start. Jesus said: “Whoever WISHES to come after Me, must deny himself, pick up his cross every day and come here follow Me.” When you start following Jesus then you have to start picking up your cross every day. You have to go through much tribulation, trials, temptations and OBEY JESUS. You have to OVERCOME until the very end. and if you ENDURE until the very end, then you will also be able to say the day that you die:”It is finished,” because your struggles do not end until you have COMPLETED the race, until you come to the end of the road that Jesus guided you along.
Do you pick up your cross, deny yourself and follow Jesus Christ every day? Do you hope to be able to say, “it is finished,” the day when you die?

May Jesus bless you.

Preaching the CROSS not the Bible will save you

Yesterday I attended a funeral where the preacher that held the funeral service absolutely mutilated the scriptures promising everybody eternal life if they just believe in Jesus. That was an example of how preaching of the Bible can deceive people.
It is not preaching of the scriptures that saves us and gives us eternal life, it is the preaching of the CROSS OF JESUS CHRIST that leads to eternal life, NOT the cross that Jesus bore and on which He died but the cross that we have to pick up and follow Jesus if we want eternal life. Jesus said:”If anyone wishes to come after Me he must deny himself, pick up his cross daily and come here, follow Me.” That is the gospel that saves, following and OBEYING Jesus Christ leads to eternal life, NOT THE PREACHING OF THE BIBLE. You can preach anything from the Bible and go away feeling good without ever knowing Jesus Christ but YOU WILL END UP IN ETERNAL HELL if you do not deny yourself, pick up your cross and follow Jesus Christ.
It is not the preaching of the Bible or knowledge of the Bible that saves you, but denying yourself picking up your cross and following Jesus Christ, living in utter holiness, obeying Jesus Christ and following Him until the very end, that is what will save your soul.

May Jesus bless you.

Stay on the road

There is a road that seams right to man but in the end it leads to death (Proverbs 16:25). There is only one way to eternal life and that is Jesus Christ. If we do not follow Him every day on the straight and narrow road, WE WILL PERISH.
We need to deny ourselves, pick up our cross every day and follow Jesus Christ right until the end or else we will not find the narrow door that leads to eternal life. Are you on that narrow road that leads to eternal life? Are you following Jesus Christ, being led by His Spirit, going where He sends you and DOING what he tells you to do? Are you following the Master?

May Jesus bless you

The missing ingredient

The man who wrote most of the New Testament books was a highly educated theologian but He was a persecutor of the followers of Jesus Christ. He knew the Old Testament books very well, the law of Moses, but he didn't know Jesus and then while going after the followers of Jesus, He met Jesus Christ on the road to Damascus (Acts 9). He fell on his face and he said:”Who are you Lord?” And Jesus said:”I am Jesus whom you are persecuting.”
On that day Saul of Tarsus was changed for ever. He became Paul, the apostle Paul, who went on to die for Jesus Christ, who preached Jesus Christ. He was for ever changed, and that is the MISSING INGREDIENT with most current day believers, THEY HAVE NEVER MET JESUS CHRIST! They have never been changed, they do not know Jesus Christ. Their theology is all about the Bible, it is about the writings of other people but they have not met Jesus Christ! They never had a Damascus road experience where they met Jesus face to face and said:”Who are you Lord?” That was when Paul was changed and after that he didn't preach theology, he preached Jesus Christ and Him crucified. He went on to die for Jesus Christ. Why? Because He knew Him. What Paul wrote he received from Jesus in revelation. Paul never walked with the other disciples but he was taught by Jesus and he wrote more than any of the other disciples. He knew Jesus Christ FOR REAL because he had met Him.
Have you had a Damascus road experience? Have you MET Jesus Christ? Have you been CHANGED for ever? Is Jesus Christ your REALITY? OR is Jesus Christ the MISSING INGREDIENT in your theology? Because if you do not have Jesus, you have NOTHING!

May Jesus bless you.

Lethal Substitutes

Church membership and fellowship with other believers are lethal substitutes for a real relationship with Jesus Christ. If we do not know Jesus Christ for real and we are not led by the Holy Spirit then we have no relationship with Him and He will say to us:”Go away I never knew you, you workers of wickedness.”
Bible study is also no substitute for HEARING from Jesus Christ. He said:”My sheep LISTEN to My voice and they FOLLOW Me.” If we do not HEAR His voice. LISTEN and FOLLOW Him then we are not His sheep and all the Bible study that we might do will be of no benefit to us because we do not hear from the Master Himself, we have no relationship with Him. Bible study is a lethal substitute for your relationship with Jesus Christ.
Do you PRAY and WAIT on the Lord, LISTEN to Him and FOLLOW Him every day? If not, you are not a child of God. “Those who are led by the SPIRIT OF GOD, they are the sons of God.”(Romans 8:14) Are you led by the Spirit of God or have you found yourself some LETHAL SUBSTITUTES?

May Jesus bless you.

Don't give up

Many people start out well, following Jesus Christ but very few persist and endure until the end. Many have fallen away, they have given up. Many have backslidden and come back to Jesus and backslidden again and come back again, and they have totally lost hope, they have been entangled back in sin and they are worse off than they were before.

The kingdom of God is for those who ENDURE, it is for WINNERS, it is not for losers. Only those who endure until the end, who follow Jesus Christ until the very end, only they will win the prize of eternal life. Only those who OBEY Jesus Christ, who deny themselves, pick up their cross daily and follow Jesus, who OBEY His words, those who have learned endurance, perseverance, and longsuffering, patience, those are the ones who will win the prize of eternal life. But the quitters and those who give up, they are the losers and they will not enter the kingdom of Heaven.

If you have given up, if you have backslidden, get back, get back on the road! Start following Jesus and ENDURE UNTIL THE VERY END or else everything that you have suffered and given up, it will all be in vain because you will spend eternity in hell. If you cannot walk with Jesus NOW, every day, and submit to Him you will not spend eternity with Him. The kingdom of heaven is for those who endure, it is not for quitters.

Don't be a quitter! Get back to Jesus and run the rest of the race with endurance until the very end.

May Jesus bless you.

Fit for Purpose

The normal man, the normal person, does not fit into the kingdom of God. We have to be reborn and molded, made, transformed into the likeness of Jesus Christ before we can be used by Him in His kingdom. It is through our relationship with Jesus and our obedience to Him that we become like Him. But we have to YIELD to Him, firstly to repent of sin, of following our own mind, of doing what WE want to do and we must turn to Jesus, obey HIM, obey His words as also written in the gospels, SEEK Him, SEEK His Holy Spirit to come and dwell in us and then YIELD to Him so that He can transform us and change us to fit into the new mold.

Our groove needs to be changed, we need to fit into a new groove, the GROOVE of the Kingdom of Heaven. The change that Jesus works in us NEVER STOPS, it never ends, the molding, the forming, the sharpening, the shaping never ends. As long as we are alive the Holy Spirit will work on us, guide us, teach us and transform us into His likeness but WE MUST BE WILLING AND EAGER to FOLLOW, OBEY and SERVE. If we do not WILLINGLY serve, seek, follow and PRESS ON IN we WILL NOT enter the kingdom of heaven, we will not become useful and fruitful in the kingdom of God.

We need to SEEK Jesus every day, live in utter holiness and righteousness and MAKE OURSELVES AVAILABLE to Him, LISTEN to His Holy Spirit, OBEY and FOLLOW Him and then He can use us. Then we can be useful instruments in His kingdom. If we are not willing and useful and fruitful then we are worthless just like the branch that does not bear fruit, it will get cut off and burned. We must YIELD ourselves to the Holy Spirit. We must present ourselves for service in the kingdom of God.

The kingdom of God is about US FOLLOWING AND OBEYING JESUS CHRIST, SERVING HIM as LORD AND MASTER. Are you part of the kingdom of God? Are you in Christ and bearing the fruit of the Holy Spirit? Are you DOING what Jesus is guiding you to do every day?

May Jesus bless you.
