Nothing can touch you

When you accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Master then you come under His protection and nothing can touch you that He does not allow. But when you accept Jesus as your King, your Lord and your Master you also present yourself to Him as a holy and acceptable sacrifice to His Kingdom, to be used for His pleasure as He pleases.

Jesus does not promise us an easy road or a bed of roses. We will enter the Kingdom of God through much tribulation but whatever path He takes us, whatever tribulation, trial and test we have to go through, He will go with us and we must complete the course. We must follow Him until the end so that we can bring glory and honor and praises to Him. We belong TO HIM, for Him to be used for His Kingdom as He pleases. Whatever comes your way, whether it be hardship, tribulation, sickness, bad fortune, whatever happens, when you belong to Jesus only that which He allows can come to you. But we must stay WITH Jesus.

Many people go away from Jesus, they stray, they go look for trouble and whatever happens to them then is of their own making. They strayed from Him and therefor they removed themselves from His protection and they ran into trouble. We have to STAY with Jesus and thank Him, praise Him in all circumstances. If we did stray we have to come back to Him as soon as we can. Whatever happens to us we must run to Jesus and ask Him why the situation has occurred, why this problem has occurred and He will give us wisdom.

We will see the hand of God in everything if we stay focused on Jesus. Those who are pure in heart, they will see God in everything. Nothing that is outside of the will of God can happen to the child of God who stays WITH Jesus Christ. Are you staying WITH Jesus?

May Jesus bless you.

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.

IN Tribulation

The moment that you start following Jesus, the devil becomes your enemy and he will do anything and everything that he can to DISCOURAGE you and STOP you from following Jesus. The moment that you start FOLLOWING JESUS you will suffer rejection, persecution and tribulation. Jesus said that “in this world you will have tribulation but take courage I have overcome the world.”
If you are NOT suffering rejection, persecution and tribulation, then you are NOT following Jesus Christ. Most believers do not suffer persecution, it is because they are NOT following Jesus Christ. They are NOT denying themselves, NOT picking up their cross every day and following Jesus. If you LISTEN to that Voice of the Holy Spirit inside of you and you OBEY, you CHOOSE to live HOLY and RIGHTEOUS and DO those things that please Jesus then the world will REJECT you, your family will reject you, you will be persecuted, you will suffer tribulation.
Are you suffering tribulation? If you are NOT IN TRIBULATION you are NOT IN CHRIST. Then your relationship with Jesus Christ is NOT REAL. All those who follow Jesus Christ will be IN TRIBULATION.

May Jesus bless you.

Rapture Doctrine - False Hope

Many churches lure believers with a promise of a rapture escape from tribulation. Jesus Christ never promised us an escape from tribulation. He said:”In this world you will have tribulation but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.” Jesus said:”I will never leave you and I will never forsake you.” He will be WITH YOU in tribulation IF you stay WITH HIM.

If you want eternal life you have to follow Jesus Christ wherever He takes you. Jesus said that:”He who loves father or mother or brother or sister or even his own life more than Me is not worthy of Me.” Jesus did not promise an escape. He promises us eternal life IF we ENDURE WITH HIM UNTIL THE VERY END.

The disciples died as martyrs and through the ages many believers were killed for their faith in Jesus Christ. Right now people are being killed because they confess to believe in Jesus Christ. These people who believe the rapture escape lie, do they expect to be welcomed into the same company as those who gave everything for Jesus, who died for Jesus?

If you follow Jesus Christ then you follow Him wherever He guides you, even if it costs you your life, because if you turn away from Him, you will not have eternal life. Are you willing to follow Jesus Christ even through the valley of the shadow of death or do you want an easy escape? Because then you will not follow Jesus. You might join a church and believe a false promise but you have never started following Jesus Christ.

May Jesus bless you.

Why me?

If we follow Jesus Christ our life will not be easy, it will not be all plain sailing. He warned that we must go through much tribulation into the kingdom of God. There will be times that life will be difficult, that things will happen to us that we don't understand and we say:”Lord why me? Why did this happen?” But all His ways are loving kindness. He will never forsake us. He guides our footsteps, He is the good Shepherd. He will take us through dark places but He will also bring us to green pastures where we can rest. Sometimes He will suddenly, abruptly bring our life to a standstill. It might be sickness, it might be an accident, something that happened. It is the hand of God because He wants to talk to us. He wants us to understand that He is God. It is not us doing the things, it is Him. Without Him we can do nothing. The psalmist says in Psalm 46:10.“Be still, and know that I am God.” Without Jesus we can do nothing but it is sometimes important that we be quiet before Him, that we take time to LISTEN because very often we are TOO BUSY, too resourceful, too busy doing things FOR THE LORD, too busy with our own mind. Sometimes we need to be pruned. Every branch in Him that bears fruit, He prunes so that it can bear more fruit. The branch that does not bear fruit will get cut off and burned. It is in those times when the Lord stops our life that we get time to reflect, pray, and seek the Lord and once again come to the knowledge and realization that HE IS GOD! WITHOUT HIM I CAN DO NOTHING. That brings a security that God is my Father and without Him I can do nothing, but He will never leave me, He will never forsake me. He watches over me. It is important that we are cut back, CUT TO SIZE, that we can know WHO THE MASTER IS. And then after that we adore Him more. We come to understanding. The psalmist writes in Psalm119:17 "It is good for me that I was afflicted, That I may learn Thy statutes.” Psalm 119:67 "Before I was afflicted I went astray, But now I keep Thy word.” All His ways are loving kindness. Psalm 25:10 says “All the paths of the LORD are lovingkindness and truth To those who keep His covenant and His testimonies.” God has not rejected you, He has not deserted you,, He cares for you. But He knows how to work perfection in us. He wants to draw us closer to Him because IT IS ALL ABOUT OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS. Without Him we can do nothing. Submit, wait on Him, rest in His arms and He will guide you and He will teach you. He will make you know that He cares for you and without Him you can do nothing. That is why He makes things happen to us. It is all because He loves and cares for us. 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.

Be Prepared!

 Many believers are extremely foolish. They think that they can play around with sin and that they will get a second chance. There is a school of thinking that there will be a rapture and then a Great Tribulation and in the tribulation many will get a second chance to die as martyrs.

Jesus never promised us a second chance. The devil wants you to believe in a second chance because you will die before you get your second chance and then you end up in hell. Jesus clearly warned us to always be ready because we do not even know if we will live tomorrow, we only have today and we must live today to the full for Jesus because we do not know if we will have another day.

Jesus waned us in Matthew 24:36-44 “But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone.37“For the coming of the Son of Man will be just like the days of Noah. 38“For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, 39and THEY DID NOT UNDERSTAND UNTIL THE FLOOD CAME AND TOOK THEM ALL AWAY; so will the coming of the Son of Man be.40“Then there will be two men in the field; one will be taken and one will be left. 41“Two women will be grinding at the mill; one will be taken and one will be left.
42“Therefore be on the alert, for you do not know which day your Lord is coming. 43“But be sure of this, that if the head of the house had known at what time of the night the thief was coming, he would have been on the alert and would not have allowed his house to be broken into. 44“For this reason you also must be ready; for the Son of Man is coming at an hour when you do not think He will.”

You might die today, you don't know that. Will you be ready? Always be ready! Follow Jesus every day of your life and serve Him to the UTMOST of your ability. BE READY!

May Jesus bless you.

Tribulation NOW

For those who follow Jesus, tribulation is NOW. They are in the war zone every day of their lives. The battle is on and the devil is at them every single day. Jesus was in a battle every day until the very end of His life, but He overcame and those who follow Jesus will be in the war zone against satan every day of their lives. If you are not in tribulation and in a battle every day then you are not following Jesus, you are not in the war and you will not overcome. The only way to overcome is to be on the offensive, on the attack. Every day, you have got to wake up fighting, fighting the flesh, fighting yourself and winning ground for the Kingdom of God! If you are making ground and winning ground then you are losing ground. If you are not building you are breaking!

Jesus said:”In this world you will have tribulation, but be of good courage, I have overcome the world!” Why did He say that? Because He gave us the example! His sight was set on the prize and He was only interested in one thing and that was to please the Father. If we want to overcome and win the prize of eternal life, we have to do the same. We must set our faces like flint and run the race with ENDURANCE, not let up one single day because that can cost us eternity. Whoever puts his hand to the plow and looks back is not fit for the kingdom of God. You have got to run the race EVERY DAY!

If you have let up, if you have back-slidden, now is the time to get back and never look back again. Focus on the prize and run the race with endurance. ENDURE THE TRIBULATION NOW AND WIN THE PRIZE, OVERCOME THE DEVIL, or you will have eternal tribulation in hell! If you are not in tribulation and in the war zone right now, you are not in the run, you don't have a hope of eternal life!

Get into the race and endure until the very end.

May Jesus bless you.
