Share your EXPERIENCE

You can take my possessions away from me, you can take my life, but there is one thing that you cannot take and that is my experience, my experience with Jesus Christ, my testimony, my relationship with Jesus. And that is what I am here to share. Many believers only have their Bible knowledge and their beliefs to share but they don't have a relationship with Jesus Christ because Jesus is not real to them.

Jesus Christ revealed Himself to me, He called me. He made me His servant and I thank Him that I was willing to give up all to follow Him and that is why I have a testimony of the IMPOSSIBLE. Jesus guides you along the IMPOSSIBLE WAYS. You are blessed with trials and tribulations and IMPOSSIBLE DIFFICULTIES but through everything Jesus guides you and you look back and you say that it is only because of Jesus, it is only because you followed Him that you could pass that road, that you could go through what you went through.

Jesus does not take you along POSSIBLE and that is why, if you do not follow Jesus you don't have a testimony. But I can look back and testify to you, Jesus Christ is ALIVE. He is God Almighty because I know Him and He guides me every day. Without Jesus I can do nothing. Without Jesus I cannot live and that is why I share my testimony. I share Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is ALIVE!

Do you know Jesus Christ? What is your experience? Can you only tell me Bible verses or tell me that you BELIEVE that you are saved? Or do you KNOW Jesus Christ? Do you know Him for REAL and do you have a REAL RELATIONSHIP with the Living God? Do you KNOW in your HEART OF HEARTS that nothing can separate you from Jesus because Jesus is faithful and He is ALIVE? How well do you KNOW Jesus Christ? What is YOUR testimony?

May Jesus bless you.

Special Assignment

Jesus Christ who is also God Almighty, the One through Whom and by Whom all things were created, the One who holds all things together by His power, invites us to GET TO KNOW Him, to FOLLOW Him and to go on a SPECIAL ASSIGNMENT with Him, so that we can GET TO KNOW HIM, so that we can be part of His Kingdom.

Jesus does not just call us to save us. He calls us to become part of the Household of God. We can only get to KNOW Him if we go WITH Him, if we FOLLOW Him. He will take us on a SPECIAL ASSIGNMENT that he has prepared for us. He will take us through the valleys and over the mountains. He will take us through GOOD TIMES ind BAD TIMES, through difficulties but He will never leave us and He will never forsake us, and through our trials and tribulations and through the challenges that we face and overcome with Him because we follow Him, through those things we will get to KNOW HIM.

Very few people get to KNOW Jesus Christ because very few are willing to FOLLOW Him. Very few are willing to go on that assignment with Jesus Christ so that they can become closely acquainted with Him, so that they can learn to TRUST Him, so that they can learn to ENDURE and PERSEVERE, and be approved as sons of God.

Most believers just want FIRE INSURANCE. They don't want to go to hell but they don't want Jesus ether. They would rather spend their life studying the Bible and being religious than to TRULY get to know the King of kings and the Lord of lords. They do not want to go WITH HIM, they don't want to WORK FOR HIM; they want to enjoy THEIR lives, they want to have A LIFE, ENJOY LIFE go after the lusts of their flesh and then in the end they want Jesus to accept them.

If we are not willing to go WITH JESUS through the ups and the downs we will never get to know Him. If we are not willing to forsake our own desires, our own plans and our own ambitions and go after Him we are not worthy of Him, we will never get to know Him. And He will say to so many believers who thought they were saved, He will say to them:”Go away I never knew you, you workers of wickedness.” All because they would not go with Him, they would not FOLLOW Him and they would not go on that Special Assignment that He prepared for them.

Are you willing to go WITH JESUS all the way until the end so that you can truly get to know Him?

May Jesus bless you.

Join the struggle

To follow Jesus Christ is a struggle every day and if you do follow Jesus you WILL feel the pain. Jesus said that we must deny ourselves, pick up our cross and follow Him every day. He also warned his disciples that they will be hated by all men. If you follow Jesus Christ this world will hate you and reject you.
Jesus said that we must take His yoke on us because his burden is light and His commandments are easy. That is when you FOLLOW Jesus and STAY with Him, then He will help you to overcome. He will help you to bear the load, but you will be tried, you will be tested and only those who endure until the end will have the prize of eternal life.
If you follow Jesus you have to sacrifice yourself unto the Lord. Therefor Paul writes in Romans 12:1 He says:“I beseech you brethren that you present your bodies as a living and a holy sacrifice, acceptable unto the Lord. That is your reasonable service.” That is what the Lord requires of us if we want eternal life. We need to sacrifice ourselves and present ourselves unto the Lord for HIS purpose to do HIS will. Only those who STAY with Jesus until the end and who overcome evil, themselves, the flesh and who OBEY Jesus Christ, only they will have the prize of eternal life.
It is a struggle until the very end. You have to overcome to win the prize. Stay focused on Jesus or else you will not be able to make it.

May Jesus bless you.

Perfection through PAIN and SUFFERING

Those who follow Jesus Christ are perfected in holiness and obedience through suffering. If you follow Jesus Christ you will follow His example of suffering. Jesus, even though He was a son learned through what He suffered and if we follow Him we will also learn through suffering.

We read in 1 Peter 4:1 “Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin;” God disciplines every son that He accepts, so if you are accepted as a child of God then you will be disciplined and you will learn through what you suffer.

I have suffered much in my life because that is the way that God teaches His own children. If we do not suffer then we are illegitimate children, He will teach us through MUCH SUFFERING. God has taught me through, trials, pain, suffering. Right now I am going through some suffering. For the past three months I have had a little toe that has chilblains, or winters toe. I cannot wear a shoe. So I asked the Lord. I said:”Lord, what must I learn from this?” because there is no medication that helps for chilblains, you just need to move to a warmer place. So I said:”Lord, what must I learn from this small toe that is so painful?” it keeps me awake at night. The Holy Spirit teaches me that if the little toe suffers then the whole body suffers, because it keeps me awake at night, causes me to pray and spend more time with the Lord. You see, if the smallest member of the Body of Christ suffers then the whole Body suffers, and we have to care for each other, care for those whom we regard least because they are important. If they suffer then the Body of Christ suffers.

We learn through what we suffer. I have suffered much in my life since I have started following Jesus Christ but through suffering He has taught me to OBEY Him, not to love the things of the world. We learn through suffering and if you follow Jesus Christ you will suffer. There is no coincidence in the life of a child of God because God directs our footsteps. Whatever happens to us is in the plan of God because we are children of God. Whenever anything happens to me, pain, sickness, misfortune, whatever, I turn to Jesus and I say:”Lord, what are You teaching me?” because that is the way He teaches us.

Maybe He is speaking to you. He chastises those whom He loves. Maybe there is sin in your life. Ask the Lord why you are sick. Ask Him why you are running into misfortune. Ask Him why somebody drove into the back of your car. Is your car not maybe your idol? Ask the Lord why things are going wrong in your life. Because we LEARN THROUGH WHAT WE SUFFER.

Nothing is easy when you follow Jesus but if we YIELD to Him, we TRUST Him and we SUBMIT, He teaches us HOLINESS, RIGHTEOUSNESS, LONGSUFFERING and OBEDIENCE. We are changed into His likeness through suffering but WE MUST SUBMIT TO HIM. We must YIELD and let Him have His way in us and He will mold us into perfection.

If you yield to the discipline of the Holy Spirit and ACCEPT the SUFFERING and learn from it then you will be changed into His likeness and be suitable to enter into the kingdom of heaven. If you refuse correction you will not be suitable for His kingdom and He will turn you away. We learn through what we suffer IF we want to follow Jesus Christ.

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.
