Get a Life

The whole world is in a rat race, being controlled and manipulated by other people, being used and abused for their own advantage. Husbands and wives manipulate and control each other. Governments control their people. Churches manipulate and control their members, using the Bible. People are manipulated by peer pressure, convention. They don't want to feel “out” but they are not LIVING, they are not having A LIFE. They are being controlled.

The only way that you can have a LIFE, be FREE is if you follow and OBEY Jesus Christ. “Whomever the Son of God has set free, will be FREE and FREE indeed” IF they STAY with Jesus. If you fear what people think and what they will say then you are a SLAVE, you are in bondage, you don't have life! You can only have LIFE if you follow Jesus Christ and you obey Him. Only Jesus Christ can set you free. Fear Him, OBEY Him and you will have LIFE.

Do you have Jesus? Do you have A LIFE?

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.

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.

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.

Finding Peace and Contentment

People will do anything to find fulfillment, contentment, to satisfy their desires and their lusts. They will do anything, they will work hard, they will steal, they will murder, they will risk their lives, they become part of the rat race chasing after pleasure and they never find it. In the end they are empty.

There is only one place of contentment and that is when we are in harmony with God, that is when we are in obedience and submission to Jesus Christ, DOING HIS WILL, OBEYING His words. Jesus invites us. He says:”Come to me all ye who are weary and I will give you rest for your soul.” You will not find rest and peace and contentment chasing after the things of this world, chasing after achievement and self fulfillment. In the end, it is empty and you are empty and you are left out in the cold.

Come to Jesus. Turn away from sin, wickedness, and seek Jesus Himself with all your power. Seek to be pleasing to Him and He will give you PEACE THAT PASSES ALL UNDERSTANDING even though the whole world around you is falling to pieces. Only Jesus can give you that peace.

May Jesus bless you.

Greener Pastures

The whole world is chasing after wind, being part of the rat race, seeking for greener pastures which they never find. But, those who are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God and He leads them to greener pastures.
The only One who can lead us and take us to green pastures where we find rest for our souls, is Jesus Christ Himself. His sheep LISTEN to His voice and they follow Him but if you want to be one of His sheep you have to deny yourself, pick up your cross and follow Jesus every day. He will guide you to green pastures but He will also take you through the narrow places, He will take you through the shadow of death. You will be persecuted, you will be rejected by men, but in all these things Jesus will be with you and in the end He will guide you to greener pastures.
His sheep LISTEN to His voice and they follow Him and that is why He guides them. That is why they reach that place of rest. Are you following the Good Shepherd? Have you denied yourself  and are you picking up your cross every day and following Jesus? There is a way that seems right to man but the end of that road is destruction. Only Jesus Christ can guide us to that place of perfect rest, perfect peace and  perfect contentment when we SUBMIT TO Him and we SERVE HIM as Lord and Master.
Have you decided to follow the  Good Shepherd? Is He YOUR Lord and Master? Or, are you chasing after wind?
May Jesus bless you.

LIFE CHANGING PRAYER

Many believers say that they cannot pray for a long time, they don't know what to pray, they quickly run out of words. I want to teach you a life changing way of praying. When you wake up in the morning, go on your knees and start thanking Jesus Christ for everything that He has given you. Thank Him for the new day, praise Him for your health, for everything that He has given you. Count your blessings, let your mind go back on all those things that the Lord has given you and praise Jesus. You will not run out of words, you might run out of time. You might have to carry on with your daily tasks but that does not mean that you need to stop thanking and praising Jesus. Don't stop praising Him, don't stop thanking Him. Keep your focus on Him and you will see the hand of God in everything around you. You will see the hand of God moving in your life. You will see how YOU change, how things around you change because of the power of God that flows through you when you praise Jesus Christ, the Living God. If you want the power of God in your life, THANK HIM, and PRAISE HIM and NEVER STOP! May Jesus bless you.

Calling the lost sheep

There is only one true and real good Shepherd who cares for each and every one of us, who has been with us from the beginning and that is Jesus Christ who made us. We were created by Him for Him and through Him because nothing that exists came in existence without Him. We have been aware of His presence with us since we can remember ourselves but we have all strayed like sheep, we have looked to other people and to ourselves and we have ignored His soft voice inside of us, calling us, speaking to us, coaching us. We have all run after other shepherd looked for our direction and inspiration from others but Jesus Christ is calling us to come to Him, to seek Him, to obey Him. He wrote His laws in our hearts, we know what is right and we know what is wrong, from the beginning, but we have often ignored that voice. He is real. That is the voice of God speaking inside of us and Jesus wants us to invite Him in. He wants us to turn away from wickedness, from running after our own ways and from running after other people, seeking comfort, hope and guidance from others and to come to Him because He alone is the good Shepherd. Jesus is calling you and me right now, He has never stopped. He has always been drawing us. Stop ignoring Him, open the door of your heart and invite Jesus in. Go on your knees and repent of your sin. Cry out for mercy, seek Him with all your heart and He will come in and He will give you peace and joy like you have never experienced. Seek Him with all your heart and He will reveal Himself to you and become more and more real to you every day. There is only one Good Shepherd and that is Jesus Christ. May Jesus bless you.

Peace from above

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

God of the Valleys

Many people experience wonderful joy, peace, and euphoria when they first come to Jesus and after a few days it wears off and then they are very disappointed. Jesus has never left us, but following Jesus is not about always being on the mountain top. He is not just the God of the mountain tops but He is also the God of the valleys.
It is when we are in the Valleys of despair, rejection, struggle of daily life, that we really get to know Jesus. Jesus never leaves us, He never forsakes us. We leave Him. It is unrealistic to always want to be on a high, to always want to feel good. The Kingdom of God is not about me always feeling good. It is about following Jesus and getting to know Him, obeying Him and doing His will. We need to PRESS ON IN. The strength comes with a strain. The joy comes with overcoming, when we go through difficult times and we ENDURE and we KEEP the FAITH. That is when that real relationship with Jesus is built up. He is not just a God of the mountain tops, He is God of the valleys also, and we get to know Him in the valleys. If you follow Jesus, you will be IN the valleys IN the depths of despair and trials more often than on the mountain tops.
Do not become disheartened. Stay with Jesus when you are IN the valleys and when things are going difficult and then you will also be with Him when He takes you on the mountain top. Don’t give up, press on in and stay with Jesus until the very, very end. Always make yourself aware of Him, and you will have His peace inside of you, even though the world around you is in utter turmoil.
May Jesus bless you.

Good News!

I want to bring you good news today and that is, that JESUS CHRIST IS ALIVE! Jesus loves you and He cares for you. He is not far away. He is SPIRIT and He is right there with you and He is in control. When you listen to the news it is all bad news because it is because people have forsaken Jesus. Jesus knows how to look after His own, after those who love Him and who have accepted Him as their as their LORD and their MASTER. He keeps and protects them. He provides in all their needs, He answers all their prayers because He is MIGHTY and because they acknowledge Him, because they TRUST in Him and because they give him the glory and the honor.

Jesus is waiting for you to invite Him into your life, into your heart. God is SPIRIT and He wants to come and dwell inside of you. He wants to come and give you peace and joy. He wants to give you peace that passes all understanding but you need to invite Him in. You need to accept Him as Lord and Master of your life and then He will take care of YOU.

How long are you going to let Jesus stay outside? Go on your knees, cry out to Him, invite Him in and He will give you LIFE, eternal life, He will give you peace that passes all understanding and He will give you joy. He will guide you every day, every step of the way. He will no longer be outside but inside to take care of you.

Invite Jesus in, right now, He is waiting for you.

May Jesus bless you!

Daily Bread No 6 - Perfect Joy 9/27/2011

Jesus did not promise us an easy time if we follow Him. He said you will be hated by all men and in this world you will have tribulation but be of good cheer for I have overcome the world. If you are following Jesus Christ you will be rejected, you will be hated by all men. You will not fit into this world. Many Christians find themselves lonely and they become despondent, depressed because they don’t have friends. Dear friend, if you are depressed and lonely it is because you are not fruitful. If we are fruitful in the Kingdom of God, then we glorify God the Father and we ourselves are filled with joy because we are doing what is pleasing in His sight. If we are unfruitful then we are ready to be cut off, because Jesus said that every branch in Me that does not bear fruit will be cut off and put in the fire. There is a place of perfect peace, joy and happiness in Christ and that is when we bear fruit. If you bear fruit you will be rejected, you will be persecuted, just like the Apostles. They were caught and put in prison and even while they were in prison, they were singing songs of joy and praise unto the Lord and then the angel came and he took them out of prison, he led them out. Dear friends, there is a place of perfect joy in Christ and that is when we lift up Jesus, when we bear fruit, when we multiply, when we bring others to Jesus. If we are not building on to the Kingdom of God, we are destroying it. If we are not gathering, then we are scattering. If you feel useless then it is because maybe you are useless for the Kingdom of God and you are ready to be cut off. Become productive, get out there, go testify for Jesus. Put on a T-shirt with a message, go walk in the shops and tell the world that Jesus saves. Become a witness, become fruitful and you will have the joy of Christ in your life. May Jesus bless you.
