Bearing Fruit 12 months a year

Jesus Christ called us to bear good fruit, to bear fruit that will give glory to God our Father. If we are IN CHRIST, born again and following Jesus we will bear good fruit 12 months a year, 365 days a year, without fail. It does not matter what the season is, the economy does not affect us, our circumstances do not affect us because those who are planted by Jesus, are planted next to the STREAM OF THE RIVER OF LIFE that FLOWS FROM THE THRONE OF GOD, they bear fruit twelve months a year and they glorify God their Father.

Jesus said that every branch in Him that does not bear good fruit will get cut off and burned. He said that every tree that does not bear good fruit will get cut off and the ax is already lying at the root of the trees. Many who profess to be children of God are not bearing good fruit, they are bad trees and they will get cut off.

Every branch that bears good fruit will be pruned so that it can bear more fruit, but it will bear fruit if it is IN CHRIST. That is our purpose, it is to bear good fruit. If we do not bear good fruit we will certainly get cut off.

Are we bearing good fruit? Are we thereby proving to be children of God and thereby bringing glory to our Father EVERY DAY, regardless of circumstances? Are we GOOD TREES, planted by the Master?

May Jesus bless you.

Prove Yourself

Many people claim to be Christians, followers of Jesus Christ. They belong to a church, they practice religion, they read their Bibles, they quote Bible verses and some of them can say very nice long prayers but if you look at their lives they are exactly like the world. Their deeds prove that they are not of Jesus, they are of this world.

If we follow Jesus Christ and we are children of God we prove by our deeds that we are children of God, not by our words of by our claims, or what we claim to believe, our beliefs. It is HOW WE LIVE. Are we LIKE JESUS, are we following Jesus and doing that which is pleasing to Him? The PROOF is in how we ARE, how we ACT, what we DO. Are we LIKE JESUS CHRIST? Are we sons of God or do our deeds prove that indeed we are hypocrites and sons of the devil. It is not the verses that you can quote of the claims that you can make, it is HOW YOU LIVE. We prove by our DEEDS whether we are children of God.

Are we children of God or are we indeed sons of satan disguising ourselves as children of God?

May Jesus bless you.

Proof that Jesus is God

People debate over whether Jesus Christ is God or not. Even Christians seek in the Bible for proof that Jesus Christ is God and yet they do not find it because they do not know Him. Even one of His disciples, Philip, said to Him:”Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us.” And Jesus said to him:”I have been with you for so long, and have you not known Me?”

If you SEEK Jesus Christ, you will find Him. If you SERVE Him He will REVEAL Himself to you and you will KNOW that HE IS GOD. The reason that people do not know that Jesus Christ is God is because they just DO NOT KNOW HIM.

Many cast out demons and do many things in the name of Jesus but they DON'T KNOW HIM. They don't know HE IS GOD. It is to them that Jesus will say one day:”Go away I never knew you, you workers of wickedness.”

Do YOU know that JESUS IS GOD?

May Jesus bless you.

Blind Faith

To follow Jesus Christ requires BLIND FAITH. If you can see something, feel it, describe it why do you still believe IN IT? Most people will NOT follow Jesus because Jesus Christ is not real to them but without faith it is impossible to please God. You have to BELIEVE, and you have to TRUST Him although you cannot SEE Him and then you will see His handiwork in the physical. You will see things happening in your life in the physical.
Our relationship with Jesus Christ is not a physical relationship, it is a spiritual relationship. That is why you must be BORN AGAIN so that you can PERCEIVE Jesus Christ and the kingdom of Heaven in your SPIRIT. If you are not born again of the Spirit of God then you will not follow Jesus, then the kingdom of Heaven will not be real to you and Jesus Christ will not be real to you.
You need to be SPIRITUALLY REBORN and then you will follow Him in BLIND FAITH, He will reveal Himself to you in the natural, the physical. You will see the hand of God, you will receive wisdom, knowledge, guidance, discipline IN YOUR SPIRIT. And when He guides you, you will follow Him WITHOUT QUESTION because you BLINDLY TRUST Him.
Is Jesus Christ REAL to you? Will you BLINDLY FOLLOW Him? Or does common sense and your senses rule you? Do you want confirmation from physical things, from your bible, from other people or is Jesus Christ more real to you than the physical? Do you really KNOW Him and will you BLINDLY follow Him? If you don't, you don't have faith, then Jesus Christ is not real to you.
If you SEEK Him, OBEY Him, REPENT of sin, be BAPTIZED IN WATER and seek Him He will REVEAL HIMSELF TO YOU and you will have SPIRITUAL PERCEPTION. But then IN FAITH you have to daily deny yourself pick up your cross and BLINDLY FOLLOW Him where He guides you.

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.

More than just words

If you are a born again follower of Jesus Christ then you will be like Him. It is not your words, but your life, that will tell the story. Jesus said to Nicodemus, as we read in John 3:8 “The wind blows where it wishes, you don't know where it is coming from and you don't know where it is going, and so is every person who I born of the Spirit if God.” It is because they are led by the Holy Spirit and they do what Jesus tells them to do, they go where He sends them.

Those who truly follow Jesus Christ will be hated by all men. They will speak His words, they themselves being disciples of Jesus Christ, will be making other disciples of Christ. They are not of the world, neither do they love the things of the world. Their only desire is to follow Jesus and be pleasing to Him. Their life tells the story, not their words. Anybody can quote scripture but not many follow Jesus. Not many of those who call themselves Christians, do really follow Jesus Christ. Not many of them do really have any relationship with Jesus.

If we follow Jesus we will walk like He walked and we will speak His words. If we want eternal life we have to follow Jesus and walk like He walked and speak His words and then our life will show that we are disciples of Jesus Christ.

May Jesus bless you.

Good works show your faith

Most believers are lazy and they are also deceived by the devil. They are not willing to work for the kingdom of God. When you tell them to do the works of Jesus then they say they are not saved by works but they do not realize that we are saved TO WORK for the kingdom of God.

If you want to find out the truth just go to your Bible, go online to bible.cc and type in “good works”

http://biblez.com/search.php?q=good+works

I am reading:

John 10:23 - but Jesus said to them, "I have shown you many good works from the Father.

Ephesians 2:10 - For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.

1 Timothy 5:10 - and having a reputation for good works: if she has brought up children, has shown hospitality, has washed the feet of the saints, has cared for the afflicted

1 Timothy 6:18 - Tell them to use their money to do good. They should be rich in good works and generous to those in need, always being ready to share with others

Titus 2:7 - And you yourself must be an example to them by doing good works of every kind.
showing yourself to be an example of good works in every way

1 Timothy 2:10 -  but with what is proper for women who profess godliness—with good works. ... but with good works, as is proper for women who affirm that they worship God.

Titus 3:14 - And let our people learn to devote themselves to good works, so as
to help cases of urgent need, and not be unfruitful. 

Hebrews 10:24 - Let us think of ways to motivate one another to acts of love and good works.

1 Timothy 5:23 - So also good works are conspicuous, and even those that are not cannot remain hidden.

Matthew 5:10 -  In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your
good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven

Friends, so it goes on. Are you going to believe what is written in the scriptures or will you believe satan because he is robbing you of eternal life. If we do not bear good fruit we will get cut off and burned. God has prepared good works for us to do. If we follow Jesus we will do the works of Jesus. Are you showing by your works that you are a child of God or are you showing by your works that you are a son of satan.

We will be judged by our works resulting from our faith. If we truly believed in Jesus we will bear good fruit and do good works to glorify our King and Master.

May Jesus bless you.

Proof of knowing Jesus

If we are really following Jesus then we will become like Him, we will be changed into His likeness and we will bear good fruit. The words of Jesus will be in our mouth and we will take on the personality of Jesus because then Jesus is living in us. We will do what is pleasing to Him.

Are we bearing good fruit? Have we been changed into His likeness, or are we just deceiving ourselves?

May Jesus bless you.

Proving your love

Many believers say that they love Jesus, they call themselves Christians, but, how do we prove it? We have to prove our love for Jesus or else it is not real. Jesus Christ, the Creator of everything, by Whom and for Whom and through Whom everything was created proved His love for us by laying down His glory, taking on the form of a human like we are and dying on a cross for our sins so that if we prove our love for Him by obeying Him then we can have eternal life. Jesus Christ proved His love for us through His sacrifice on Calvary to save us. We need to prove our love for Him by denying ourselves, dying to our own selfish desires and ambitions and living our lives in obedience to Him to please Him, in close relationship with Him because we love Him. Its not about religion, its not about church, its not about reading the Bible, its not about the things that you give up. It is about whether you love Jesus. Are we proving through our obedience to Jesus Christ that we love Him. Do we testify of Him? Have we become like Him because we adore and follow Him? Is Jesus Christ our life? Are we always praying and seeking His approval? Do we want to be close to Him, hear His voice? Are we proving by our deeds that we truly love Jesus Christ or are we just deceiving ourselves? Do our deeds show that we truly love Jesus? Jesus said:”If you love Me, keep my commandments.” He said:”Why do you call Me Lord, Lord and you do not what I say?” Are we doing what Jesus is telling us to do? Do we truly love Him? May Jesus bless you.

How is your most vital relationship?

Salvation is a relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ, the King of kings and the Lord of lords. He will accept us as His bride if WE COMPLY WITH HIS REQUIREMENTS. If we accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Master, REPENT of sin, cleans ourselves of all unrighteousness, show fruit of repentance, are baptized in water then He will give us the baptism in the Holy Spirit as an engagement ring, as a token from Him of His acceptance. It is only if we ENDURE UNTIL THE END OF OUR LIVES and we remain FAITHFUL to Him, DOING what is pleasing to Him that we will have the eventual prize, our unification with Him, ETERNAL LIFE. But if we are unfaithful to Him and if we go back to sin, if we love the things of the world and we cheat on Jesus, we will GET CUT OFF, He will reject us because then we are not suitable as a bride for Christ. He is coming for a pure and clean bride. He will not accept a fornicating unfaithful bride. That is the relationship that you enter into, you attach yourself to Jesus Christ. He is faithful, He will not cheat on you but if we deny Him and we cheat on Him, He says He will certainly DENY US. You can believe that you are saved but if you do not have that confirmation of the Holy Spirit and constantly have that confirmation where He confirms to you that He is pleased with you then you are in danger of eternal hell. Jesus requires of us to be in that close relationship with Him where we are led by His Spirit all the time; where He guides us, teaches us, coaches us and prepares us to be a suitable bride. Are you in that close relationship with Jesus where you hear His voice, listen to Him, seek His approval all the time and where you keep yourself from sin, where you keep yourself holy and totally dedicated unto Him? Are you in that relationship? Are you that close to Jesus. If not, then you do not have hope of salvation. May Jesus bless you.

Tongues is proof

Jesus reveals Himself to those who diligently seek Him and He gives them the Holy Spirit as proof and confirmation of His acceptance. We read in Acts 10 of Cornelius, an Italian, who was seeking righteousness, he was seeking the Lord and the Lord sent an angel to him who told him to go and fetch Peter to come and minister to them. Peter, who was a Jew who did not have any communion with gentiles would otherwise not have gone but at the same time he was also praying and the Lord gave him three visions which convicted him to go with the messengers, the servants of Cornelius who came to fetch him. And Peter went and he preached the gospel to this man Cornelius and his family. A wonderful thing happened, the Holy Spirit came on them exactly the same as it did on the disciples on the day of Pentecost. We read in Acts 10:44 “While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell upon all those who were listening to the message. 45And all the circumcised believers who had come with Peter were amazed, because the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out upon the Gentiles also. 46For they were hearing them speaking with tongues and exalting God. Then Peter answered, 47“ Surely no one can refuse the water for these to be baptized who have received the Holy Spirit just as we did, can he?” 48And he ordered them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ.” Jesus reveals Himself to all those who truly seek Him and he confirms His acceptance of them by giving them the gift of the Holy Spirit that He promised to all those who love Him and who obey Him. Have you received the PROOF OF ACCEPTANCE, the BAPTISM IN THE HOLY SPIRIT? It is not a guarantee of salvation but it is proof that Jesus Christ has accepted you. Have you received that proof, the baptism in the Holy Spirit? May Jesus bless you.

You must FIRST STOP SINNING

Many believers say that they cannot stop sinning. It is because they have never repented, they are not following Jesus Christ, they are following satan. You cannot follow Jesus Christ unless you have repented. John the Baptist was preaching repentance and we read in Matthew 3:7 “But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming for baptism, he said to them, “You brood of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath to come? 8“Therefore BEAR FRUIT IN KEEPING WITH REPENTANCE;9and do not suppose that you can say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham for our father’; for I say to you that from these stones God is able to raise up children to Abraham. 10“The axe is already laid at the root of the trees; therefore EVERY TREE THAT DOES NOT BEAR GOOD FRUIT IS CUT DOWN AND THROWN INTO THE FIRE.” That is the situation with the religious people of today also. These Pharisees and Sadducees that came for baptism, they were the religious people of the time but they were also sinners like the religious people of today and John the Baptist refused to baptize them. He said to them:”Go and repent first! Go first, show fruit in keeping with repentance.” You cannot follow Jesus Christ if you have not repented. These people were saying:”We are the children of Abraham!” The people in the churches are saying:”We are saved!” They are not saved! They are sinners, they are serving satan and themselves. You cannot follow Jesus Christ if you have not repented, unless you have STOPPED SINNING and unless you are SHOWING FRUIT OF REPENTANCE. God has no communion with sinners. It is no good to be baptized if you have not repented of your sin. You are wasting your time. And that is why many believers say that Jesus is not talking to them – HE WILL NOT! HE DOES NOT SPEAK TO SINNERS! He has no communion with sinners! Go cleanse your heart, go repent of your sin, go cleanse yourself and then He will reveal Himself to you. You must FIRST STOP SINNING BEFORE YOU CAN FOLLOW JESUS. May Jesus bless you.

Proof of your faith

Faith is a decision. You have to decide to trust in Jesus as much as you decide whether you will trust a bridge before you use that bridge to cross a river. If you do not TRUST Jesus then you will not be established. It is easy to say that you trust in God but your faith will be tested. If you really trust in Jesus you will obey Him and certain consequences will follow and then you will have to decide whether you will keep on obeying Him or whether you will backtrack, go back on your decision to trust Him. Jesus will take you into the impossible.

If you decide to trust Jesus for your health then you will be tested. When you get a symptom or a pain, what will you do? Will you go to the doctor or will you pray? Will you trust the doctor when He tells you:”If you don't take that medication you will die.” or “You need surgery!” Will you believe Him or will you go and pray? Who do you trust in? Most people trust people. They trust the judgment and the diagnosis of the doctor. They trust in what other people say but they don't trust in Jesus.

Jesus determines our life, not medication, not the doctor. Jesus determines whether you will be alive tonight or not. Do you trust Him or don't you? Do you trust the medication? Most people will take their medication on the hour or else they think they are going to die. You won't die, you will live IF you trust in Jesus. It is Jesus who keeps you alive, as long as you trust in Him and as long as He wants you around, but most people are living for themselves and not living for Jesus. Most people don't have faith. Your faith will be tested.

If you stand for the truth and for your conviction you might lose your job. What will you do? Will you give in and go with your employer or will you rather prefer to be laid off, to be fired and to obey Jesus Christ? If your boss tells you to lie, what will you do? Will you lie because he told you to lie or will you refuse? Will you cross that bridge with Jesus and do you trust Him enough that you believe that even if you lose your job that Jesus is able to look after you and your family and your needs? Jesus said:”Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all the other things will be added to you.” Do you believe that? Do you really trust Jesus?

Without faith it is impossible to please God and your faith will be tested. It is only those who pass the tests and who endure until the end that will be worthy to enter the kingdom of heaven. Will you decide to trust Jesus or do you not trust Him enough to follow Him across that bridge?

May Jesus bless you.
