PRAY IT RIGHT



Carnal Christians and unbelievers try to fix their problems through worldly means, natural ways. They do like the rest of the world. If they have relationship problems with other people they want to talk it right, preachers want to preach it right. Religious people apply a Bible verse and they want to manipulate people by using scripture, or they attend some magical seminar to sort out their relationships. They might go to the psychologist and talk about it or they go on medication. When the carnal Christian is sick then he goes to the doctor or he swallows a pill.
But the child of God PRAYS, he PRAYS about all his problems and he submits himself and his problem to Jesus Christ who KNOWS all things and who can fix all things. That is the difference between a true child of God and a carnal Christian who is the same as an unbeliever because he does not really believe that God can do anything about his problem. He has either got to get help from outside, from some professional or he will try to fix it himself because he does not KNOW Jesus Christ nor does he TRUST Jesus Christ.
A child of God, a true follower of Jesus Christ firstly submits himself to the Lordship of Jesus Christ and asks the Lord to examine HIM, to make sure that HE is in the faith, that HE is in the will of God, say:”Lord examine me, test me and try me, see if there is in ME an evil way. Please lead ME on the right way.” And then I can with confidence take all my problems to Jesus and submit them to HIM, put all my problems under HIS LORDSHIP under HIS GOVERNMENT and TRUST HIM that He will fix it. If I do not trust Him and I try to fix it myself HE WILL NOT FIX IT because He does not share His glory with anybody.
A true child of God submits everything, all His problems, his whole life to Jesus Christ and then he himself stays focused on Jesus and makes sure that he stays in the will of God. Jesus said:”Seek ye FIRST the Kingdom of God and His righteousness and all the other things will be added unto you.”
Don't try and fix it, pray it right but FIRST submit yourself to Jesus and then he will firstly fix YOU and He will fix your problem.

May Jesus bless you.

True believers DESIRE to SERVE Jesus



True followers of Jesus Christ who are really born again, have a desire to serve Him. Jesus Christ is always on their mind. They talk about Him, they testify about Him they tell others about Jesus. They don't talk about their church or their pastor or some Bible scriptures that amaze them, they TALK ABOUT JESUS because they KNOW Him and they LIVE WITH HIM every day. They have a desire to be pleasing to Jesus, He is always on their mind. They go after Him every day.
The things of the world are not interesting to them, they don't matter. All that matters to them is Jesus, hearing from Him, LISTENING to Him and FOLLOWING Him, DOING what is pleasing to Him, they DESIRE TO SERVE HIM as King and Lord and Master.
Do you have a DESIRE TO FOLLOW Jesus Christ? Are you really BORN AGAIN? Are you a CHILD OF GOD? Do you have a NEW NATURE, a godly nature? Or are you just still a common sinner who pretends to be a Christian? If you really KNOW and love Jesus He will be on your mind all the time and you will always be at your Father's business, doing the will of God.

May Jesus bless you.

ACHIEVE your FULL POTENTIAL



Every person who ACCEPTS Jesus Christ as his Lord and Master and who OBEYS Him has the POTENTIAL to become a son of God and will do the same things that Jesus did and even greater. But very few people accept Jesus Christ as LORD, very few OBEY Him. Very few go after Him, very few SERVE Him as KING, LORD and MASTER.
God has prepared works for each of us to do but we can only achieve that potential, we can only do those works IF we OBEY Christ, if we STAY IN Jesus Christ because without Him we can do NOTHING, without Jesus we are LOST, without Jesus we are DOOMED. Jesus Christ alone is the WAY and the TRUTH and the LIFE, without Him we are nothing.
Have you accepted Jesus Christ as your LORD and MASTER? Do you FOLLOW and OBEY Him? Are you on the way of achieving that POTENTIAL, that PLAN, that PURPOSE for which God called you? There is only ONE WAY and that is to FOLLOW and OBEY Jesus Christ.

May Jesus bless you.

Most Christians never ACCEPT Jesus



Most Christians never accept Jesus Christ as LORD. They accept Him as SAVIOR, HEALER, PROVIDER, GIVER of all the good things but they do not accept Him as LORD and MASTER, as the FINAL AUTHORITY over every aspect of their lives.
They do not accept His words, the words that He spoke, His commandments as also recorded in the gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. They say it is IMPRACTICLE.
Many refuse to obey Jesus and be baptized in water after accepting Him.
Many REJECT the Holy Spirit that He sent to guide us into all truth. They rather prefer to stay with their Bible and choose scriptures that suit them but they will not accept the guidance of the Holy Spirit, they want to TEST the Holy Spirit against their own insight of THEIR own version of the Bible.
They WILL NOT serve or obey Jesus Christ, they call that a WORKS GOSPEL.
They will never KNOW Jesus Christ because they would never GO WITH Him and they will be eternally disappointed when they die and they stand before Him and Jesus says to them:”Go away I never knew you, you workers of wickedness.”
Have YOU accepted Jesus Christ as LORD, dear friend?

May Jesus bless you.

Follow Jesus Christ NOT the Bible



Eternal life IS Jesus Christ. Without Jesus there is no life. Jesus GIVES eternal life to those who LOVE Him, who FOLLOW Him and who OBEY Him. His sheep LISTEN to His VOICE and they FOLLOW Him. They DO what is pleasing to Him. They GO AFTER Him. They deny themselves every day, they pick up their cross and they follow Him. Nothing is more important to them than Jesus Christ and being pleasing to Him.
Being religious, reading your Bible, practicing religion will not bring you closer to Jesus and will not give you eternal life. You need to KNOW Him, be LED by His Spirit. Those who are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. They do the will of God. Do you KNOW Jesus Christ? Do you GO AFTER HIM every day? Is He on your mind all the time? Do you FOLLOW Him and do you OBEY Him? Do you have eternal life? Or are you heading for eternal destruction, eternity away from Jesus in hell?
If you don't love Jesus NOW, if you don't FEAR HIM, OBEY Him, GO AFTER Him right now you will not spend eternity with Him. Get to know Him NOW before it is for ever too late.

May Jesus bless you.

What God SAYS



Most people take seriously and often live by what others say, often to their own downfall. People are concerned about what other people say, what the doctor says, what the husband says, what the wife says, what the news says, what their children say, what the Bible says, what their pastor says but the one thing that really matters they are not concerned about and that is WHAT GOD SAYS.
Man shall not live from bread alone but from every word that proceeds from the mouth of God, and God is speaking to each and every person. God is speaking to YOU and to me but very few of us LISTEN or take seriously, even take note of what God is saying. If we LISTEN to the Holy Spirit of God and OBEY we will LIVE. Jesus said:”My sheep LISTEN to My voice and they follow Me.” whom are we LISTENING to? Are we listening to others or are we listening to what Jesus is saying? What is more important to us?
If we LISTEN to what Jesus is saying we will have eternal life. If we disregard Him and listen to what other people say, we will perish. Who are we LISTENING to?

May Jesus bless you.

Mainstream Christianity the Highway to Hell



Mainstream Christianity is the many roads that lead to destruction, the many roads that lead to hell. It is the broad road Christianity and many are on it. The true followers of Jesus Christ have never been pew sitters, they have never been part of mainstream Christianity, they were always rejected and persecuted. They were not with the crowds, they were walking the lonely road with Jesus.
If you follow Jesus Christ you do not become part of a group, you become part of the Kingdom of God and you are led by the Holy Spirit. He takes you on the lonely road of righteousness, holiness and obedience and you are persecuted by the fake Christians in the churches. If you seek the approval of Jesus Christ you will not be part of mainstream Christianity. You will be part of the Kingdom of God. LISTENING to the Holy Spirit, seeking Jesus all the time, going after Him, being where He is and DOING what He tells you to do. You will be the LIGHT OF THE WORLD, the SALT OF THE EARTH, rejected and persecuted like He was. You will be LIKE HIM, you will not be like mainstream Christianity.
Are you following Jesus Christ and doing His will or are you part of a church club that is on its way to damnation? If you want eternal life you have to follow Jesus Christ on the straight and narrow way and do His will, be pleasing to Him.

May Jesus bless you.

OBEY Jesus or you will PERISH



Many people believe the LIE that you only need to BELIEVE in Jesus Christ to be SAVED and have ETERNAL LIFE. You need to OBEY Jesus Christ to have eternal life. If you accept Jesus Christ as your LORD, your MASTER then He writes His LAWS, His WILL in your heart, in your spirit and He lets you KNOW HIS WILL but you need to LISTEN to Him. You need to LISTEN to His VOICE speaking to you in your spirit and you need to OBEY Him. You need to live RIGHTEOUSLY and HOLY and always be TUNED IN to the Spirit of God speaking to you.
If you do not OBEY Him you will PERISH. You need to LISTEN to Jesus and OBEY Him to be pleasing to Him. Do you LISTEN to the Spirit of God speaking to you in your spirit? Or do you just believe that you are saved? OBEY Jesus and you will LIVE?

May Jesus bless you.

No Desire



If we are not driven by a desire to follow and obey Jesus and be pleasing to Him, to serve Him, and to do those things which He requires of us, then our faith is empty and void, it is in vain. If we just go through the motions, do what is good and hope to escape hell by doing the minimum, then we will certainly end up in hell.
Jesus does not want a LAME OFFERING. If we have no desire after Him, Himself, then we do not belong to Him. If we have no desire to pray, to LISTEN to Him, to HEAR from Him, then our relationship with Him is a lie. If our relationship with Jesus is not REAL and BURNING inside of us, if we are not willing to give up everything and go after Jesus, do that which He requires of us then our faith is in vain, then we will not have eternal life. If Jesus Christ is not our LIFE then we have no life!
If we only have a desire to read about Jesus, read the Bible, be with other “Christians,” fellowship, then we are not going after Jesus, we are going after our own desires. If we do not DESIRE Jesus with all our heart, go after Him every day, then we cannot be pleasing to Him.
Those who are led by the Spirit of God, they are the the sons of God. Is Jesus Christ your desire? Or are you going after other things? What is more important in your life, Jesus, or your own desires, other things? Being accepted by this world? Making money? What is your desire?

If we seek Him, we find Him. If we WAIT ON HIM He will reveal Himself to us. Is Jesus Christ your desire? May Jesus bless you.

With the HEART not the HEAD



You follow Jesus Christ with your HEART not with your HEAD. People want to figure out God. They want to read a book and understand, they want to understand God, they want a road map and unless they can UNDERSTAND with their small little minds, they WILL NOT FOLLOW, they will not DO, they will not OBEY Jesus Christ. It is because they want to figure it out with their HEAD and follow their own mind, their own understanding and their own desires.
If you follow Jesus, you follow Him with your HEART. You TRUST Him with everything that is in you, you PRAY and He puts His Spirit in you, you TRUST Him and you FOLLOW Him. He puts His WORDS in you, He puts His MIND in you. You don't try to figure it out because you TRUST Him, you OBEY Him and you FOLLOW Him.
If you do not TRUST Jesus from the HEART, you will not follow Him, you will not OBEY Him. That is why people rather cling to their Bibles and to other people and to things that they can understand and why they will never KNOW nor FOLLOW Jesus Christ. If you do not TRUST Him from the HEART He will not reveal Himself to you because YOU WILL BE DOUBTING HIM all the time.
Without FAITH it is impossible to please God. If you go to God you must BELIEVE and you must TRUST or else you will RECEIVE NOTHING, you will UNDERSTAND NOTHING. You need to TRUST Him with all your HEART and then He will reveal Himself to you.

May Jesus bless you.

Left Behind


If you want to have eternal life you will have to make up your mind and follow Jesus. Deny yourself every day, pick up your cross and follow Him. You will have to LEAVE BEHIND your friends and those who do not want to follow Jesus with you.
You cannot participate in the same things any more. Every day, you will have to get up in the morning, have your mind on Jesus, LISTEN and FOLLOW Him. You might be living in the same house with other people who do not follow Jesus, you might be working with other people who do not follow Jesus but you need to leave them behind and YOU must follow Jesus every day and DO what is pleasing to Him.
Jesus said that when He comes two will be sleeping in one bed, the one will be taken and the other will be left. Two will be working in the field, the one will be taken and the other will be left. Do you go with Jesus every day? Or are you staying behind with your friends? Are you going with them? If we do not go WITH Jesus every day and live to please Him then we will not go with Him when He comes. We WILL be LEFT BEHIND.

May Jesus bless you.

Who Jesus is


Jesus Christ is GOD. He is the beginning and the end, He is the alpha He is the omega. He made all things and IN HIM all things hold together. Without Jesus Christ we can do nothing.
People minimize Jesus Christ because they do not know Him. They ignore Him, they reject Him. They think He is different from the Old Testament God, but GOD IS ONE. Jesus Christ is the SAME yesterday, today and for ever, HE NEVER CHANGES. He gives eternal life to those who OBEY Him but to many, those who rejected Him and denied Him, He will say:”Go away I never knew you, you workers of iniquity.”
Jesus Christ IS the Creator. God Himself manifested Himself IN Jesus Christ. If you do not KNOW Him you do not have eternal life. His sheep LISTEN to His VOICE and they FOLLOW Him, they OBEY Him.
Do you KNOW Jesus Christ by revelation? Has He revealed Himself to YOU? Seek Him and you will find Him. You will find eternal life. Reject Him and you will certainly perish.

May Jesus bless you.

Do Not Be MOVED


If you want to have eternal life you have to put your focus on Jesus and set your face like flint, follow Him and do not allow anything to deter you. The devil will do everything in his power to prevent you from doing what Jesus wants you to do. He used Delilah to destroy Samson. He also tried to use Peter to stop Jesus from fulfilling His commission.
When Jesus told the disciples how He would go to Jerusalem and suffer and die and be resurrected, Peter took Him one side and rebuked Him. And Jesus said to him:”Get ye behind me satan because you are thinking the things of men and not of God.”
If you want to have eternal life and complete the task for which God has called you, you must NOT ALLOW ANYTHING TO MOVE YOU OR TO SWAY YOU. Only those who stay the course, who stay focused on Jesus and who endure until the end will have eternal life.
DO NOT BE MOVED! Stay focused on Jesus.

May Jesus bless you.

Trust in THE LORD


Jesus Christ is LORD, all power and all authority belongs to Him. Without Jesus we can do nothing. Many who profess to be Christians trust in other things, they don't trust in Jesus. Many trust in the Bible as though reciting scripture gives them some magical power. They trust in the scriptures, they trust in prophecies, they trust in what other people say but THEY DO NOT TRUST IN JESUS.
It is Jesus Himself, God Almighty, He IS LORD. He is the One whom we must trust. He is the ONE whom we must SEEK and FOLLOW and put our trust in, in Jesus ALONE.
Are you trusting in other things or do you trust in Jesus? Is your hope in HIM? Because Hope in Jesus will not disappoint.
Trust in Jesus. Fear HIM, OBEY Him and FOLLOW Him. Without Him we can do NOTHING.

May Jesus bless you.

PRACTICE your relationship


Jesus Christ will become ALIVE and REAL to you if you practice your relationship with Him in the proper way. If you SERVE Jesus Christ as Lord and Master and you take Him seriously every moment of your life in every thought and in every decision then He will reveal Himself to you as real. But if you ignore Him and you treat Him as a convenience you will not know Him and He will say to you one day:”Go away I never knew you, you worker of wickedness.”
If you do not practice righteousness, holiness, obedience to Jesus, if you do not make yourself acutely aware of Him all the time then you will never know Him, But if you seek Him you will find Him, if you draw closer to him He will draw closer to you, If you PRAY and TRUST Him and WAIT on Him He will answer your prayers and He will give you UNDERSTANDING. You will KNOW all things and you will KNOW HIM as you have been known by Him.
It all depends on your relationship with the King.

May Jesus bless you.

God is NEAR


God is NEAR, He is not nearer or closer to some people than to others. God is with us by His Spirit. The Holy Spirit convicts ALL MEN ALL THE TIME of SIN, RIGHTEOUSNESS and JUDGMENT but very few care to LISTEN.
Most people ignore God and that is why they perish. They live in sin and that is why they are separated from God. They refuse to LISTEN to the voice of God, the Holy Spirit, speaking IN THEM all the time. If you LISTEN your soul will LIVE. If you hearken, take notice, tune in to that voice of the Holy Spirit speaking IN YOU all the time, then YOU WILL LIVE.
Humble yourself before Jesus Christ, go on your knees right where you are and plead Him forgiveness for your sin and STOP SINNING! Then you will hear His voice more clearly. LISTEN when He speaks to you and you will LIVE. Be holy, be righteous, obey Him and you will LIVE IN HIS PRESENCE, you will be NEAR TO GOD as He is NEAR TO YOU.
Are you NEAR TO GOD as He is near to you or do you ignore Him and continue in selfishness and in sin. If you keep on resisting, ignoring and rejecting God you will perish and be separated from Him for eternity. Are you living CLOSE TO GOD?

May Jesus bless you.

He Leads The Way


Jesus Christ Himself is the WAY the TRUTH and the LIFE. Those who follow and obey Him, who LISTEN to His voice and GO AFTER HIM every day, they are never in darkness. He teaches them the ways of eternal life and He guides them every day, step by step.
Eternal life is KNOWING and FOLLOWING, going after Jesus Christ, HE LEADS THE WAY.
Do you KNOW Jesus Christ? Do you GO AFTER HIM every day, FOLLOW Him, LISTEN and DO what He tells you to do? Are you keeping up with Him and DOING His pleasure?

May Jesus bless you.

Make Every Effort


We read in the gospel of Luke 13:24 that somebody asked Jesus whether those who are being saved are few. Jesus replied and said:”MAKE EVERY EFFORT to enter the narrow door because many will try hard and not be able.” Many believers say that they cannot stop sinning, they cannot obey the words of Jesus, they say they cannot be perfect as Jesus commanded. Jesus said:”Be perfect like your Father in heaven is perfect.”
How much EFFORT are we putting into following and obeying Jesus Christ? How hard are we trying? If we do not put every effort into seeking the kingdom of God and His righteousness we will enter! We will not find the narrow door. How much EFFORT are we putting into following and obeying Jesus Christ? Are we putting every bit of energy, EVERY EFFORT into DOING THE WILL OF GOD? Or do we just believe that we will be saved because we believe in Jesus? Then we are living in a fool's paradise.
We have to put EVERY EFFORT into doing the will of God because many will try hard and not be able. How hard are we trying? How much effort are you putting into your relationship with Jesus Christ?

May Jesus bless you.

If You Really Believe You Will


Just believing in Jesus Christ cannot save you. If you really believe in Jesus Christ you will go after Him, you will obey Him and follow Him, you will walk with Him moment by moment. You will not stray from Him. You will want to be pleasing to Him every moment. Most believers do not believe in Jesus. They believe in the Bible, they believe in other things. They do not walk with God. They walk with a Bible, they fellowship with other Christians, they ask their advice from other people. They watch videos. They listen to preachers but they do not follow Jesus, they do not pray. They do not LISTEN to HIM. They do not know Him!
If you believe in Jesus you will SERVE Him in your spirit. You will be constantly aware of HIM. You will be sensing His Spirit all the time and you will DO that which is pleasing to Him. Do you really believe in Jesus? Do you know Him? Do you SEEK HIM? Do you SERVE Him in your spirit? Is He always on your mind? Or don't you really believe? If you truly believe in Jesus you will not leave Him but you will follow Him, you will WALK WITH GOD because JESUS CHRIST IS GOD! Do you know Him and do you follow Him? Do you REALLY believe?

May Jesus bless you.

You Deserve HELL


All men have sinned and come short of the glory of God and they all deserve hell, that includes you and me. But IF we repent of our wicked ways and we embrace Jesus Christ as LORD and MASTER and we FOLLOW Him until the very end then He will lead us into the Kingdom of God, He will GIVE us eternal life.
We will never be or never become DESERVING of the grace of God. WE ARE UNWORTHY and that is why only through Jesus Christ we have any hope of eternal life. Without Jesus we can do nothing but we must follow and obey Him until the very end. We must never become arrogant and think that we are better than anybody else or that we deserve anything because then we are close to the fall. We must HUMBLY SUBMIT ourselves to Jesus every day and follow Him until the very end. We must always be humble before Jesus Christ our Lord and Master and know that our life hangs on a thread, that thread is the grace of God. Let us not despise the Grace of God. Let us not become boastful because then we will fall.
Jesus Chris is LORD and we are UNDESERVING, UNWORTHY. Let us SERVE Jesus Christ as LORD so that He can be pleased with us and accept us into His Heavenly Kingdom.

May Jesus bless you.
