SALVATION ILLUSION

Most Christian believers have a SALVATION ILLUSION, they believe they are saved. Many have gone through certain practices, they have said a sinners prayer, some have been baptized in water, others have even received the baptism in the Holy Spirit and they speak in tongues and they believe that because they once received the gift of the Holy Spirit and that they can still speak in tongues that they are saved, that that is is guarantee of salvation but they have no relationship with Jesus Christ.

Many believe that because they belong to a church and because they were christened or baptized as babies and because they comply to the church doctrine that they have salvation, that they are safe, that is an ILLUSION! They don't have a relationship with Jesus Christ.

Many others have even gone into ministry, become pastors, priests, clergy and they practice religion. They themselves are under SALVATION ILLUSION and they and they are deluding others, making them believe that if they follow certain practices that they are saved. Jesus spoke about a pharisee that prayed in the temple and said:”Lord I thank Thee that I am not like this money collector next to me...” He thought that through his prayers and through his religious devotion, he was saved, he was not.

Jesus said that many will stand before Him and say:”Lord, Lord in Your name I cast out demons and I did many thing, many powers...” and He will say to them:”Go away I never knew you.”

Many people spend hours praying, spend hours reading their Bibles, they are busy with a self-paced, self-regulated, self-imposed religion but they have no relationship with Jesus because they do not HEAR from Him, they do not have His Spirit. Some have His Spirit but they do not LISTEN to His Spirit! They are busy with their OWN FORM OF GODLINESS, they are under SALVATION ILLUSION.

Many spend their lives working for the church and as they say “working for God” but they do it in their OWN WAY. They do not HEAR from Jesus, they do not WAIT on Him, they do NOT KNOW HIS VOICE. They do not know Him nor follow Him, they are busy with religion and they are under SALVATION ILLUSION.

If YOU do not HEAR from Jesus and if He does not CONFIRM to you whether He is pleased with you then you are under SALVATION ILLUSION. You need to go on your knees and cry out to Him, seek Him with all your heart until He SPEAKS to you. Seek Him until you KNOW that you are right with Him, not that you were right with Him 10 years ago or 20 years ago or you received the Holy Spirit 20 years ago. If you do not HEAR from Him every day, if you are not in close relationship with Him DAILY, you are not following Him and you are under SALVATION ILLUSION.

You need to KNOW where you stand with the Living God! You need to KNOW every moment whether your relationship with Him is real and whether He is pleased with you. Don't leave it to anybody else, don't leave it to chance, don't live under ILLUSION. Go on your knees and cry out to Jesus, SEEK Him until you KNOW and then STAY WITH HIM, keep seeking Him and always know where you stand with the Living God or else you are under SALVATION ILLUSION.

May Jesus bless you.

Most THINK they are SAVED but are LOST

Most people who profess to be Christians believe that they will have eternal life when they die but they are only deceived because MOST BELIEVERS WILL PERISH. It is only those believers who FOLLOW and OBEY Jesus Christ, who OBEY His words as also written in the gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, it is only they who who will have eternal life.

Very FEW of those who believe will be saved. When asked whether those who are being saved are few Jesus Christ replied:”STRIVE to enter the straight gate because many I tell you, will strive hard and NOT BE ABLE.” (Luke 13:23,24) Not everyone who says to Jesus Christ “Lord, Lord” will enter into the kingdom of heaven but only those who OBEY Him, who DO His will.

Most church going and believing Christians are IMMUNE to the truth. They are living in FALSE SECURITY because they believe lies. They do not have a relationship with Jesus. They do not OBEY Him. They are not living in holiness and in righteousness. Most of them have never been baptized in water but still they believe they are saved because they believe the lies that people have told them. If you do not DAILY follow Jesus Christ, DAILY live to please Him and SEEK Him all the time you DON'T HAVE A CHANCE of entering into the kingdom of heaven, you don't have a chance of eternal life.

Eternal life is KNOWING, FOLLOWING and OBEYING Jesus Christ, living a life that is pleasing to Him, having HIS confirmation EVERY DAY that He is pleased with you. Do you REALLY KNOW and FOLLOW Jesus Christ? Or are you also deceived? Do you also THINK that you are saved?

NOBODY IS SAVED YET. We have to endure until the very end. Only those who STAY WITH Jesus and who are pleasing to Him UNTIL THE END, only they will have eternal life. Are you striving hard to find the narrow gate?

May Jesus bless you.  

The Road to FREEDOM

You can be free from the fear of death, from anxiety, tension and fear of other people, the daily drudgery of uncertainty in this world. Jesus Christ came to set the captives free but we only remain in that freedom as long as we STAY WITH Jesus and we OBEY Him, as long as we TRUST Him and FOLLOW His guidance.
God led the children of Israel out of Egypt, out of bondage and slavery, through the Red Sea but He took them into the Wilderness where nobody can survive. But because God was with them He made them survive. But they never learned to trust Him and therefor He struck them down, they perished in the wilderness because they never OBEYED Him and they never got to know His ways.
If you start following Jesus, He will guide you but you will have to FOLLOW Him into the WILDERNESS and you will only be SAFE as long as you stay WITH Him and IN Him, in obedience to Him, TRUSTING Him, OBEYING Him and FOLLOWING Him. That is the ONLY SAFE PLACE, is to BE WITH Jesus, to LISTEN to His voice and to FOLLOW Him. Then He guides you and He makes you FREE from bondage and from fear, and you have LIFE because you are WITH Jesus all the time; you are living in the presence of the living God.
Have you decided to FOLLOW Jesus? Are you going with Him EVERY STEP OF THE WAY? Are you remaining IN that FREEDOM with Jesus? Or have you strayed? Have you gone your own way? Are you following Jesus Christ and living under the shelter of His arms?

May Jesus bless you.

Cling to Jesus

The moment you die you will know your destiny. You will know where you will be spending eternity. If you do not know Jesus and He does not know you then He will say to you:”Go away I never knew you, you worker of unrighteousness.”
There is only one relationship that really matters and that is our relationship with Jesus Christ, knowing Him and serving Him as Lord and Master. No other relationship matters. The moment you die, Jesus will either KNOW you or He will tell you to go away.
If you do not KNOW Jesus, get to know Him today. Go on your knees and cry out to Him, REPENT of sin, plead with Him to forgive your past sin, STOP SINNING, be baptized for the washing off of your sin and then ask Jesus for the infilling with His Holy Spirit, a well of LIVING WATER that He will give IN you that will spring up into eternal life. Then CLING TO JESUS, stay with Him UNTIL the very end, or else He will say to you:”Go away I never knew you.”
Do you KNOW Jesus? Do you CLING to Him more than anything else, because that is the ONLY relationship that will matter for eternity.

May Jesus bless you.

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.

Freedom from bondage and fear

All men are captives, they are slaves to something even though they might think that they are free men. People live in fear of death, insecurities, anxiety, addictions... People are concerned about what other people think about them, peer pressure. What are other people going to say?

Jesus Christ came to set us free and those whom the Son of God have set free, they will be free and free indeed. But there is a condition to the freedom that Jesus gives us and that is THAT WE SERVE HIM AS LORD, we deny ourselves, pick up our cross and follow Jesus Christ every day. If we accept Jesus Christ as LORD then we do not care what other people think about us, any more. We do not worry about the things of the world. We do not worry about tomorrow or about our security, our safety, what we will eat, what we will drink, our future, because Jesus said:”Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things will be added unto you,” but that is the condition, that we must first seek the righteousness of Jesus Christ, His standard of righteousness. We must live in OBEDIENCE to Him and we must SERVE Him as KING. If we serve Jesus as Lord then we TRUST Him, that He guides our footsteps and nothing can happen to us that is not approved or allowed by Him. Jesus Christ determines our life IF we obey Him and if we live to please Him. And then He sets us absolutely free, we have nothing else to fear, whatsoever.

People don't want to be free, they prefer bondage because they trust in their own understanding and they want things THEIR WAY. They are not willing to pray from their heart:”Thy will be done, Thy kingdom come...” If we truly trust Jesus then we will pray the Lord's prayer with conviction, from the heart and say:”Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, here on earth as it is in heaven...” Then we will satisfy ourselves in the assurance that GOD IS IN CONTROL and we trust Him with our life, WE HAVE NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT!

Have you been set free? Are you seeking the kingdom of God and His righteousness?

May Jesus bless you.

Fooled Believers

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

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

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

May Jesus bless you.

Jesus will not be there for you

The kingdom of God is not about you or about me, it is about Jesus Christ. People believe that Jesus will always be there for them. One day Jesus will turn against you. He is with us and for us right now but if we are not WITH Him and FOR Him right now then He will be against us the moment that we die. Jesus is available for us right now but if we do not seek Him, follow Him and OBEY Him, if we do not live in close relationship with Him, all the time, going after Him then the moment you die HE WILL BE THE ONE WHO IS AGAINST YOU because He will say to you:”Go away from Me, I never knew you, you workers of iniquity, you were never interested in Me, I do not have place for YOU in My Kingdom.”

If we are not part of His kingdom right now, serving the King RIGHT NOW, listening to Him, following and obeying Him, then we have no part in His kingdom. Jesus will not always be there for us. IF WE ARE NOT HERE FOR HIM RIGHT NOW, THEN HE WILL NOT BE THERE FOR US THE MOMENT THAT WE DIE because if we deny Him right now He will deny us before His Father who is in Heaven.

Are you FOR Jesus RIGHT NOW? Are you FOR Jesus RIGHT NOW or are you depending on the false security thinking that Jesus will always be there for you?

Remember, your Advocate will turn into the Judge very soon and if you were not FOR HIM then He will be AGAINST YOU in the judgment.

May Jesus bless you.

WHY MOST RELIGIOUS PEOPLE WILL PERISH IN HELL

Most religious people, professing Christians, will end up in hell because they do not KNOW Jesus Christ. Religious people hold on to their belief, to their faith, their Bible, their church, their teachings but they DO NOT FOLLOW JESUS, they do not KNOW Jesus. If you know Jesus Christ then nothing else matters to you, all that matters is to be pleasing to Him all the time, to LISTEN to His voice, to PRAY, to PRAISE HIM, and to DO what is pleasing to Him. Religious people will not follow Jesus, they play religion and they feel themselves secure in their religion but they do not realize that they are POOR, NAKED, BLIND and LOST because the do not know nor follow Jesus Christ. They will perish! Are you religious or are you following Jesus Christ? Is Jesus Christ your life? May Jesus bless you.

A Terrible Disappointment

Most believers will be terribly disappointed when they die and they stand before Jesus and they are rejected by Him. Many believe that they only need to believe in Jesus to have eternal life. You need to be born again to have eternal life. Many people look for miracles, signs, wonders as also the Jews did. We read in John 3:1-3.”Now there was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews; 2this man came to Jesus by night and said to Him, “Rabbi, we know that You have come from God as a teacher; for no one can do these signs that You do unless God is with him.” 3Jesus answered and said to him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, UNLESS ONE IS BORN AGAIN HE CANNOT SEE THE KINGDOM OF GOD.” How do you know that a person is born again? Jesus went on and explained to Nicodemus, John 3:8 “The wind blows where it wishes and you hear the sound of it, but do not know where it comes from and where it is going; SO IS EVERYONE WHO IS BORN OF THE SPIRIT.” A person who is born again is LED BY THE SPIRIT OF GOD AND HE DOES THE WILL OF GOD. Many people do miracles, many believers have received Spiritual gifts of healing, casting out demons and because of that they think they have eternal life. They think that they have security. Many have received the baptism in the Holy Spirit, they speak in tongues and they think that because they have the gift, they have guarantee of eternal life. Jesus requires of us that we live righteously. Many of those people will be disappointed because we read in Matthew 7:21-23 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but HE WHO DOES THE WILL OF MY FATHER who is in heaven will enter. 22“Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?’ 23“And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS.’ There are many preachers who are like this but they are practicing LAWLESSNESS. They think they have the approval of God and they think they have eternal life but they have no relationship with Jesus because JESUS HAS NO RELATIONSHIP WITH PRACTICING SINNERS. You are either led by the Holy Spirit or you are led by the flesh and you do what you please. But if you are a BORN AGAIN CHILD OF GOD you OBEY the HOLY SPIRIT. Many people think that they can buy their way into heaven. They think that if they give tithes and money to the church and to missions that they can buy themselves a spot in heaven. Jesus called us to obedience, to service, to serve Him as Lord and KING. You cannot buy off your responsibility. You have to DO what He tells you to do. You cannot serve the King and Master in your way, the way that you think. You must be led by the Holy Spirit. If you are not led by the Holy Spirit you cannot be pleasing to Jesus. A person who is born again of the Spirit of God LISTENS to the Holy Spirit. He is led by the Holy Spirit and he DOES the will of God. The kingdom of God is about SERVING Jesus Christ as LORD. You can only serve Jesus as Lord and Master and be part of His Kingdom IF you LISTEN TO and OBEY the Holy Spirit. Many people will be terribly disappointed when Jesus says to them:”Go away I never knew you.” They never served the Master, they served themselves. Jesus justifies those who OBEY Him, who live in righteousness, and who are led by His Spirit, who SERVE Him as LORD and MASTER because JESUS IS LORD. Do you serve Jesus as Lord? May Jesus bless you.

In the name of Jesus

The words of Jesus Christ are hard words, they hurt us but they are sobering words, they are words of eternal life. If we take them seriously and we act on them then those words will save our souls. I read the words of Jesus in Matthew 7:21-23“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter. 22“Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?’ 23“And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS.’ 

It is a terrible thought that people who prophesied in Jesus' name, who cast out demons, who performed miracles will be turned away, and it will happen. There are many who have set up shop in the name of Jesus, churches, and they operate in the name of Jesus but they don't know Him and He will turn them away. If we do not obey the words of Jesus and live in utter holiness and righteousness then we have no relationship with Him. Many preachers have received Holy Spirit gifts of healing, of speaking in tongues and they think that because those gifts are operating through them that they are saved and sealed and that they have security. They don't! Jesus does not take back His gifts but if we do not live in utter righteousness and holiness, we have no relationship with Jesus, and we can perform things in Jesus name without knowing Him.

If we are not living in utter holiness and righteousness, then Jesus will say to us:”Go away from Me, I never knew you, YOU WHO WORK UNRIGHTEOUSNESS.” What He requires of us in holiness and righteousness. Nobody who practices unrighteousness will enter the kingdom of Heaven. Many churches operate in unrighteousness, they are conformed to the world. Those people will not enter the kingdom of heaven. God has one standard and that is the words of Jesus. Even though they operate in the name of Jesus, He will say to them:”Go away I never knew you.”

Do you and I walk in utter righteousness and holiness before the Lord? Are we blameless before Him? Or are we just Christians in name? Do we just profess to believe in Jesus? Because if we are not walking WITH Jesus, He will say to us:”Go away I never knew you.”

May Jesus bless you.

Where Jesus is

Many people believe that they are saved but Jesus said:”Whoever wishes to come after Me, must deny Himself, pick up his cross daily and follow Me.” Many of those people who think they are saved never even started following Jesus, they have no relationship with Him.

Jesus IS the NARROW DOOR, without Him we will not find entry into the kingdom of Heaven. If we do not FOLLOW Him, OBEY Him and SERVE Him then He is not our Lord, we are not part of His kingdom and we do not have salvation.

If we follow Jesus then we will be where He wants us to be because we will be following Him, Jesus said, John 12:26:"If anyone serves Me, let him follow Me; and where I am, there shall My servant also be; if anyone serves Me, the Father will honor him.“

Are you where Jesus is? Are you where Jesus has led you? Or are you following your own mind. His sheep listen to His voice and they follow Him. Are you one of His sheep, or are you lost?

May Jesus bless you.

I WILL NOT BE AFRAID - THE LORD IS MY HELPER

People regard money as a safeguard against the problems of life because if they have got money then they can buy their way out of trouble. But there comes a time when money is finished and when money cannot help us. There are things that money cannot buy. That is why we must put our trust in Jesus because Jesus will never let us down. The writer of Hebrews writes in Hebrews 13:5”Let your way of life be free from the love of money, being content with what you have; for He Himself has said, “I WILL NEVER DESERT YOU,NOR WILL I EVER FORSAKE YOU,” so that we confidently say, “THE LORD IS MY HELPER, I WILL NOT BE AFRAID. WHAT SHALL MAN DO TO ME?”

If we serve Jesus then we take our rescue in Him, then we are never in despair because He promised those who follow and obey Him, that He will never leave them, He will never forsake them and He is their Helper. What can man do to them? Because if God looks after us then nothing can happen to us that He does not approve of, and He loves His children, He loves those who take refuge with Him, those who love Him and who obey Him.

Is money your shelter or have you made Jesus Christ your Lord, your Provider and your Shelter? Because then you have nothing to fear.

May Jesus bless you.

Saved and Sealed Rapture Ready IS A LIE!

Many people believe that they are saved and sealed and rapture ready. They are waiting for Jesus to come and take them out of this world of trouble. That is a LIE FROM SATAN! Jesus did not give anybody a guarantee of salvation. Jesus said:”If anyone wishes to follow Me, let Him deny Himself, pick up his cross and follow Me.” We must endure until the very end. THERE IS NO SECUTRITY OF SALVATION. There is no 1 2 3 steps of salvation that you go through and now you are saved and sealed, that is a lie from the devil, friend. You must be in a daily relationship, a constant relationship with Jesus Christ, you must love Him, and follow Him every day of your life. You must be constantly praying and you must be led by the Holy Spirit. You must hear His voice and follow Him, and then you still don't have a guarantee. Jesus said:”Those who endure endure until the end, they will be saved.” We only have the HOPE of final salvation IF we endure until the end. You might be baptized in water, you might have been baptized in the Holy Spirit, you might speak in tongues, that is NO GUARANTEE, dear friend. Jesus said we must ENDURE UNTIL THE VERY, VERY END. THERE IS NO GUARANTEE. You must hear from Him every day, dear friend, you cannot work on last year's experience. You must follow Jesus every day of your life and you must receive confirmation from Him that He is satisfied with you. Jesus must be real to you. You must press on in and follow Him. If you love the world and the things of the world, you cannot be of Christ. You must be working and waiting on Him. You must follow Him until the very, very end. There is no guarantee of salvation.

Get to know Jesus now, seek Him with all your heart. Get down on your knees and cry out to Him UNTIL He answers you. Only Jesus can give you confirmation every day, whether He is satisfied with you. Get right with Jesus, dear friend, and stay right with Him until the very, very end!

May Jesus bless you.
