The Cause of Death

Ever so often the media reports studies that were done, new discoveries that were made of things that can cause your death, food that is not good for you, you shouldn't eat salt or meat etc. If you believe all those stories then there is hardly anything that you can eat, then everything is a threat to your heart or to your body or will make you die.

The truth is that in the end we will all die but it is not those things that determine your life or your death, IT IS GOD WHO DETERMINES YOUR LIFE. I have known many people who were physically absolutely peak fitness, health fanatics, only eating health food and they suddenly died, in the gym or while doing exercises and then I have known some people who were in bad health who lived very long.

My wife's mother lived with us for more than twenty years, she was born with a heart defect. Her heart beat was so weak that at times the doctor could not even find a pulse. He said she was too weak to operate on but granny lived with us, she ate meat and I gave her her own salt pot because everybody said she shouldn't eat salt. The Lord kept her alive. The doctors almost killer her a few times with wrong medication but in spite of that God kept her alive until Jesus called her home at a ripe old age. God determines our life. God keeps us alive as long as He wishes and whatever we need to know, He will tell us and He will teach us and He will guide us IF we ask Him. If we listen to the clever people we will perish.

God will keep us alive as long as we are useful for His kingdom, as long as we serve a purpose. On July 28, 1998 I was in good health but I had a heart attack and I died. As I was going down a deep black hole on my way to hell I pleaded with Jesus to let me come back and come and warn people to repent, to come and warn them that hell is real and God gave me a second chance to come and be useful for His kingdom. He made me understand that AS CHILDREN OF GOD, IF WE DO NOT BEAR FRUIT AND ARE NOT USEFUL FOR HIS KINGDOM, HE WILL CUT US OFF AND WE WILL GET BURNED, we will end up in hell. Even though I was a child of God, I was cut off and I was on my way to hell, I was not fulfilling my purpose as a child of God, I was living my life to please myself and not to promote and to build the kingdom of God. God will keep His children alive as long as they serve the kingdom of God.

It is not the will of God that any man perish but that all repent and have eternal life because if we do not repent, obey Jesus and live holy, we will perish. THE SOUL THAT SINS WILL DIE! Those who believe in Jesus and OBEY Him will never die. When they pass away they will move over from the physical to the spiritual but they will live. Those who disobey Jesus will perish, their souls will perish in eternal damnation, whether they were believers or unbelievers. If you refuse Jesus you will perish. The grace of God keeps us alive so that we can make peace with God, live godly lives, repent and get to know Jesus, obey Him and be fruitful. If in the end we refuse to turn, refuse to repent we are cut off and we are burned in eternal hell.

It is not the doctor, it is not the food you eat, it is God who determines your life. If you want eternal life you must obey Jesus. If you want to have life and life in abundance in this life you must obey Jesus. He said:”Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all the other things will be added unto you.” Jesus Christ is the WAY and the TRUTH and the LIFE. Seek Him, OBEY Him and follow Him and you will have life. The wages of sin is death, it is sin that will cause us to perish .

May Jesus bless you.

Bible study cannot save you - only the words of Jesus

Many people who had Bibles and studied the scriptures will end up in hell because they never got to know Jesus Christ Himself for real. Jesus warned the scribes and the pharisees about exactly the very same thing. I read from John 5:39. Jesus said to them:“You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is these that bear witness of Me; 40and you are unwilling to come to Me so that you may have life in you.” Dear friends, eternal life is Jesus Christ, knowing Him and OBEYING Him. His words are the words of life, nothing else, no other words, only the words of Jesus can save us IF we OBEY them. As Jesus also said to the disciples, I read from John 6:63. “It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing; the words that I have spoken to you are Spirit and are life.” The words of the Lord Jesus, they are Spirit and life, no other words – they are the Words of God, they are the Words of Life. They are also the Words by which we will be judged, no other words dear friend, not what anybody else said, but ONLY what Jesus said. I read again in John 12:47 Jesus said:“If anyone hears My sayings and does not keep them, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world, but to save the world. 48“He who rejects Me and does not receive My sayings, has one who judges him; the word that I spoke is what will judge him at the last day. 49“For I did not speak on My own initiative, but the Father Himself who sent Me has given Me commandment as to what to say and what to speak.” Those are the Words of Jesus, dear friend, there are no other words that can save us, not the words of Peter and Paul or any of the other apostles, not any of the other words can save us dear friend. The words of Jesus Christ are the words of LIFE. The words of Jesus are recorded in the gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, only those four gospels, small part of this whole Bible – those are the words of LIFE dear friend, those are the words to study and to OBEY because studying them without obeying them is USELESS. It is useless to study the whole Bible and to think that you will earn eternal life by doing that – it is interesting to study the Bible, but dear friend, if you want eternal life, you need to OBEY the WORDS OF JESUS CHRIST and nothing else! People like to quote Paul and Peter and all the other men of God, that is fine, but ONLY THE WORDS of JESUS are the WORDS OF LIFE. THOSE ARE THE WORDS TO OBEY. If you say: “Paul said” and you do as Paul said, my friend, those are not the words by which you will be judged – you will be judged by the WORDS OF JESUS! We must make sure that we OBEY the Words of Jesus because He gives eternal life to those who OBEY HIM. Go read the gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John and DO those words and you will have eternal life. May Jesus bless you.
