Whom to pray to Jesus or God?

There is a lot of confusion amongst believers about Whom to pray to, whether to pray to Jesus or to God The Father, which Name to use, Jesus, Yeshua or Yahshua and through all this confusion people never get to know the One in whom they believe. The reason for this confusion is that people do not know the One in whom they believe. They are praying into a vacuum but Paul said:"I KNOW the ONE in whom I have believed." Why was that? It was because JESUS revealed Himself to him and he said: "Who are You LORD?" He said:"I am JESUS whom you are persecuting." Most believers do not know the One in whom they believe. Jesus said that:"My Sheep listen to My voice and they follow Me." How can you FOLLOW JESUS if you don’t know His voice? If you don’t know Him? JESUS CHRIST is LORD. He is the Way and the Truth and the Life. Jesus and The Father are One. God is not divided, but He who does not have the SON does not have the Father either. If you do not have JESUS, you don’t have nothing. If you don’t know Jesus, you don’t have salvation because He will say to many in that day:"Go away I never knew you, you who work unrighteousness." It is JESUS who takes away your sin if you fall on your knees before HIM and you REPENT. It is JESUS who answers your prayers, if He is your LORD and your MASTER but most people do not pray. Their prayers are not answered because they do not know the One in whom they believe. Do you know your LORD? Do you know His voice? Do you listen to Him, do you follow Him? Or do you not know in whom you believe? If you cry out to JESUS, He will answer you. If you seek Him with all your heart, He will reveal Himself to you and you will know whom to pray to. You will know the One in whom you have believed. Have you MET JESUS CHRIST, KING of kings and LORD of lords. It is time to get to know the LORD. May Jesus bless you.

Go all the way

Salvation is not an event, it is a journey, a journey that starts when you believe in Jesus and you accept Him as your Lord and your Master and from there onward you OBEY Him. You turn away from sin and unrighteousness and you live to please Jesus. You are baptized in water for the washing off of your sin and you seek Jesus with all your being. You seek His Spirit in you, you are spiritually united with Jesus. He gives of His Spirit to come and live in you, the Holy Spirit. He will baptize you in the Holy Spirit and with FIRE. That fire will cleanse you, will purify you and then you have to continue with that journey, that spiritual unity with Jesus Christ, following Him every day of your life and doing what is pleasing to Him until the very, very end, your very last day. Very few people finish that journey. Most people are deceived. They think that if they have said a sinners prayer and joined a church and they read the Bible that they are saved, they are not. They are not even in the journey. If you are not following Jesus and not being led by the Holy Spirit then you are not on that journey. Jesus Christ Himself is the WAY and the TRUTH and the LIFE. If you are not following Him every day you do not have life and you will not find the narrow door into the kingdom of Heaven. They asked Jesus whether those who are being saved are few and He said:”Strive hard, because straight is the gate, narrow is the way and few there be that find it.” Very few endure until the end. Very few follow Jesus day by day, every day. Jesus said:”Whoever wishes to come after Me must deny himself, pick up his cross every day and follow Me.” Are YOU on that journey? Are you following Jesus every day? Are you being saved? Or do you just believe that you have been saved, but you have no relationship with Him? You need to follow Jesus, EVERY DAY OF YOUR LIFE, OBEY HIM, UNTIL THE END. You have to go ALL THE WAY in order to enter the kingdom of Heaven. May Jesus bless you

SURRENDER, SUBMIT and SERVE

Jesus Christ is Lord. He is LORD of lords and KING of kings. All power and all authority belongs to Him and He will judge the living and the dead. Everything belongs to Him. Even though Jesus Christ IS LORD, the highest authority, HE DOES NOT FORCE HIMSELF ONTO ANYBODY, but He will judge us! If we disregard and reject Him, He will reject us. Very few know Jesus, they disregard Him. Very few people follow and obey Him. Very few people serve Him as LORD, which is a grave mistake because He will say to many people in that day:”Go away I never knew you.” Many of those people are religious people, they are busy with the Bible, they are busy with religion, but they are not following Jesus. Jesus is ALIVE and He gives the Holy Spirit in every person who accepts Him, who OBEYS Him, CLEANSES himself, REPENTS of sin, is BAPTIZED IN WATER; Jesus gives every such person His Holy Spirit to guide them, to teach them and to direct them so that they CAN SERVE HIM AS LORD AND MASTER. If we do not have the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Christ, we do not belong to Him. If we do not OBEY Him and serve Him as Lord WE ARE NOT PART OF HIS KINGDOM. We have to SURRENDER our own will to Him. We must SUBMIT to Him and SERVE Him as LORD every day of our lives. Or else HE IS NOT OUR LORD! Jesus said:”Why do you call Me Lord, Lord you and do not what I say?” Is Jesus Christ your LORD? Have you SURRENDERED to Him? Do you SUBMIT yourself to Jesus every day and do you SERVE Him as LORD? Or is Jesus Christ not YOUR Lord? May Jesus bless you.

Your expected reward

God will reward every man according to their deeds. The wages of sin is death and God is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. The apostle Paul wrote in Romans 2:5:”God, 6who WILL RENDER TO EVERY MAN ACCORDING TO HIS DEEDS: 7to those who by perseverance in doing good seek for glory and honor and immortality, eternal life; 8but to those who are selfishly ambitious and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, wrath and indignation. 9There will be tribulation and distress for every soul of man who does evil, of the Jew first and also of the Greek, 10but glory and honor and peace to every man who does good, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. 11FOR THERE IS NO PARTIALITY WITH GOD.” God knows every deed, every thought, everything that we do. He is watching us and we will all be rewarded according to what we have done. Every branch in Christ, that does not bear fruit, good fruit, will get cut off and burned. We read in John 15 the words of Jesus, John 15:1“ I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. 2“ Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit, He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit, He prunes it, that it may bear more fruit. 4“ Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, so neither can you, unless you abide in Me. 5“ I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me, and I in him, he bears much fruit; for apart from Me you can do nothing. 6“ IF ANYONE DOES NOT ABIDE IN ME, HE IS THROWN AWAY AS A BRANCH, AND DRIES UP; AND THEY GATHER THEM, AND CAST THEM INTO THE FIRE, AND THEY ARE BURNED.” If we do not remain IN CHRIST then we are cut off, thrown into the fire. Without Jesus we can do nothing. We will be rewarded by our deeds. We now have the opportunity to mend our ways and make sure that we receive a good reward. What reward are we expecting from God? Eternal life or eternal damnation because we will be judged by our DEEDS. May Jesus bless you.

What God requires

Jesus Christ came to bring us into the presence of God, to reconcile us with God. What separates us from God is sin and Jesus came to take away the sins of the world. If we obey Jesus Christ, repent of sin, are baptized in water, then He brings us into the presence of God. He grants us the baptism in the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of God who comes and dwells in us. Then we are reconciled with God. What does the Lord require of us? The prophet Micah wrote in Micah 6:8 “And what does the Lord require of thee but to do justly, to love mercy and to walk humbly with thy God.” That is what God requires of us; is that we walk humbly with Him, that we live righteously, that we love our neighbor, but above all that we are in that close communion with God DOING what is pleasing to Him all the time. In that communion we listen to His voice, His Spirit dwelling in us and we DO ALL THE TIME that which is pleasing to Him. We seek Him, all the time, day and night, just to be pleasing to our Father and then we become part of the kingdom of God, now already. Have you become part of that kingdom? Have you obeyed Jesus, been baptized in water and been brought into that close relationship with the Father? Are you doing daily the will of the Father, walking humbly with they God? May Jesus bless you.

Defending your rights

The moment that you accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Master you give up all your rights to yourself and after that you deny yourself, pick up your cross every day and follow Jesus. You do not defend yourself, you turn the other cheek, you have no rights. A person who is bearing a cross cannot defend himself. We are servants of the kingdom of God. We are here to do the will of God. This world is not our place, it is not our kingdom, we don't defend it. We are of the kingdom of God. The problem is that most believers never gave up their rights to themselves, they never started following Jesus Christ, they never submitted themselves to Jesus and became part of His kingdom. They still want to build their own kingdoms here on earth. They still want to defend their own kingdoms here on earth. They do not belong to Jesus, they are of this world. Have you submitted yourself to Jesus? Are you of the kingdom of God or are you still of this world? May Jesus bless you.

A picture of Jesus

Most believers have an unrealistic picture of Jesus Christ in their minds. That picture has been made up by Hollywood and by preachers, people who do not know Jesus Christ at all. Jesus Christ was before all things. All things were made by Him and FOR Him and TO Him and THROUGH Him and IN Him all things hold together. He came to this earth as a man, flesh and blood, like we are and He came to redeem us but the form that He took was not the picture that is presented to us. The prophet Isaiah wrote about Him in Isaiah 53:2 “He has no stately form or majesty That we should look upon Him, Nor appearance that we should be attracted to Him. 3He was despised and forsaken of men, A man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief; And like one from whom men hide their face, He was despised, and we did not esteem Him. 4 Surely our griefs He Himself bore, And our sorrows He carried; Yet we ourselves esteemed Him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. 5But He was pierced through for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; The chastening for our well-being fell upon Him, and by His scourging we are healed. 6All of us like sheep have gone astray, Each of us has turned to his own way; But the LORD has caused the iniquity of us all To fall on Him. 7 He was oppressed and He was afflicted, Yet He did not open His mouth; Like a lamb that is led to slaughter, And like a sheep that is silent before its shearers, So He did not open His mouth. 8By oppression and judgment He was taken away;” Jesus Christ came to suffer. He came to redeem us, He was a man of sorrows, He was a man of pain. Even though He owned it all and even though He is Lord of lords and King of kings He endured suffering at the hands of sinners, of those whom He created. They rejected Him and they killed His earthly body but Jesus Christ IS ALIVE. He is not a helpless and hapless man, He is God Almighty. His words are terrible words. He is a terrible God and He is coming to judge the earth. He is coming to judge all sinners, all those who rejected Him, who rejected His words, who refused to repent of their sin. Jesus does not tolerate sin. He does not tolerate disobedience. Jesus Christ Himself died for sin and He will not tolerate it in any person. All sinners who refuse to repent will PERISH. Jesus is coming to judge this earth. The apostle John had a vision of Him in Revelation 19:11 “And I saw heaven opened; and behold, a white horse, and He who sat upon it is called Faithful and True; and in righteousness He judges and wages war. 12And His eyes are a flame of fire, and upon His head are many diadems; and He has a name written upon Him which no one knows except Himself. 13And He is clothed with a robe dipped in blood; and His name is called The Word of God. 14And the armies which are in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, were following Him on white horses. 15And from His mouth comes a sharp sword, so that with it He may smite the nations; and He will rule them with a rod of iron; and He treads the wine press of the fierce wrath of God, the Almighty. 16And on His robe and on His thigh He has a name written, “KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.” - that is Jesus Christ! He is coming to reign. He is coming to judge the earth. Jesus warned us. He said:”Do not fear them who can kill your body and after that they can do nothing, but fear Him who after He has killed HAS THE POWER TO THROW INTO HELL.” that is Jesus Christ! Have you met that Jesus? Do you know Him? Do you FEAR Him and do you SERVE Him? If you do not serve Him then you will fall under His wrath. If you do not repent and obey Him then you are not part of His kingdom. Do you know that Jesus and do you follow Him? Because that is the REAL Jesus, not the Hollywood Jesus. Get to KNOW Jesus, FEAR Him and FOLLOW Him and SERVE Him. May Jesus bless you.

Is God your Father?

Those who believe in Jesus Christ have the power to become children of God. A child of God LISTENS to his Father, he OBEYS Him and he always does what is pleasing to his Father. Have you become a child of God? Do you obey your Father? Do you HEAR His voice? Do you do what is pleasing to God all the time? We cannot please our Father if we do not hear His voice. The apostle Paul said that those who are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God (Romans 8:14). Are you led by the Spirit of God? Have you received the Spirit of God? There is only one way that you can receive the Spirit of God, because God is Spirit, and that is that you must get rid of sin. Only Jesus can take away your sin. You need to REPENT, STOP SINNING, and only Jesus can forgive your sins, if you plead Him forgiveness and OBEY Him, SIN NO MORE; if you are BAPTIZED IN WATER for the washing off of your sin so that you can be CLEAN. Only then can you come into the presence of God, the Father, and then Jesus will baptize you in the Holy Spirit. You will receive of the Spirit of God so that you can hear the voice of God. He will give you another tongue by which you can speak mysteries to God. He will open your ears so that you can hear His voice, but then you have to LISTEN to His voice, FOLLOW Him and OBEY Him. Have you received the Holy Spirit? Do you hear His voice and do you OBEY Him all the time? God does not tolerate disobedience. If we disobey Him, we are not fit for His kingdom. If we disobey Him, we are not fit to be children of God. Are you a child of God? Do you HEAR His voice and do you OBEY Him? May Jesus bless you.

Why you need the Holy Spirit

Eternal life is BEING CONNECTED WITH GOD ALMIGHTY. God is Spirit. The Holy Spirit is His Spirit. The only way that we can have the Holy Spirit is through Jesus Christ. If we accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and our Master then He baptizes us in the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of God who then comes and dwells in us IF we keep our relationship with Him RIGHT.

What separates us from God is SIN. No sin can come into the presence of God. Only Jesus can take away our sin. The only way that we can come into the presence of God is if we get rid of sin. We must REPENT, STOP SINNING altogether, plead Jesus forgiveness, be BAPTIZED IN WATER and then He will BAPTIZE US IN THE HOLY SPIRIT, He will connect us with the Father who will dwell in us by His Spirit. He will make of His Spirit to dwell in us so that we can be connected to Him and have eternal life. But SIN will always separate us from God.

If we sin we are separated from God. Even if we have repented and have received the Holy Spirit, IF WE SIN WE ARE SEPARATED FROM GOD, because no sin can come into the presence of God. If we sin or disobey God then that sin and disobedience comes between us and God and separates us. We grieve the Holy Spirit and He LEAVES US. We must live in UTTER HOLINESS and in UTTER OBEDIENCE to Him. Our relationship with God is a SPIRITUAL RELATIONSHIP through PRAYER, through CONSTANT PRAYER. We maintain that relationship by LISTENING, by FOLLOWING and OBEYING the GUIDANCE and the DIRECTION of the Holy Spirit which is the Spirit of God.

Any disobedience, any sin, any impurity SEPARATES US from the PRESENCE OF God. We must live in UTTER HOLINESS to maintain that relationship. That is what eternal life is about. It is about absolute holiness, obedience, righteousness and purity. Then we can stay in the presence of God but if we allow anything to come between us and God then we are separated from Him. We must STAY PURE, STAY HOLY and STAY OBEDIENT to have ETERNAL LIFE. Without holiness no man shall see God.

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.

The Only One

The world is being confused and deceived by religion and religious studies. Even Christians are totally confused, they DO NOT KNOW WHAT THEY BELIEVE IN. They do not know HIM in whom they believe. It is all about Jesus Christ, nothing and nobody else.

Nobody else can help us, nobody else can give eternal life. All the power and the authority belongs to Jesus Christ. He will decide who will enter heaven and who not. All power in heaven and on earth belongs to Him. Jesus Christ is the only way. It is not about Bible knowledge. It is not about anything else but Jesus Christ. The POWER is in the Name of Jesus. The POWER is in knowing Jesus Christ. If you don't know Jesus, you are LOST. You don't need education, you don't need Bible study. All you need is Jesus Christ Himself.

Jesus is ALIVE. If you call on Him He will answer you. Cry out to Jesus. Keep your focus on Jesus Christ. Fill your life, your mind, everything, with Jesus. Open your heart to Him, make space for Him, invite Him in and He will give you eternal life. Without Jesus, you have nothing. Without Jesus YOU ARE LOST. Get to know Jesus Christ today. He will reveal Himself to you as REAL. Jesus is ALIVE. Get to know Him, follow Him, OBEY Him and you will have LIFE.

May Jesus bless you.

The World is Doomed

The whole world is in the power of the evil one and he wants to destroy you and me. Without Jesus we are doomed. Without Jesus we have no hope, not for this life nor for eternity. Nobody else can help us, only Jesus who made us, has the power to guide us, to keep us, and to give us eternal life.

Trust no man, only trust in Jesus. If you do not know Jesus Christ, obey Him, follow Him daily then you are doomed for destruction. Get to know Jesus and follow Him every day of your life and He will give you eternal life. We will all die but what really matters is what happens after you die.

This life is short but eternity is for ever. Where will you spend eternity? If you do not know Jesus and He does not know you then you will spend eternity in damnation. Get to know Jesus, today. Trust no man. Follow Jesus and He will guide you every step of the way. He will keep your feet out of trouble and He will give you eternal life IF you stay with Him until the very end.

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.

Salvation is HARD WORK

Salvation will take extremely hard work on your and my part IF we make it through the narrow door into the kingdom of Heaven. Jesus said:”Strive hard, for many I tell you will try and not be able.” You will have to try your utmost and then you still might not be able to find the narrow door. 
Without Jesus, you won't make it. If you do not deny yourself EVERY DAY, pick up your cross and follow Jesus you won't make it. Jesus has no part-time followers. You have to follow Him every day. You have to work on your relationship with Him ALL THE TIME, every moment. You must be focused on Him and on doing His will all the time. If you are not working and striving for the kingdom of God then you are breaking it down. If you are not gathering, you are scattering. If your focus is not on Jesus and if you are not led by the Holy Spirit then you are led by your own flesh and by the devil. That which is of the flesh is flesh and that which is of the Spirit of God  is Spirit. You must be led by the Spirit of God.
You cannot go sit in a corner, read your Bible and be holy. You have to GET UP and FOLLOW Jesus AFTER YOU HAVE PRAYED and sought Him in prayer. You have to seek Him always, day and night. You must seek Him in prayer, you must HEAR from Him. If you are not led by the Spirit of God you are not a child of God. If you do not have the Spirit of Christ in you, BURNING LIKE A FIRE, you are dead. 
It is not easy to enter the kingdom of Heaven. Very few will make it. Strive hard, get your focus on Jesus and follow Him every moment. Cry out to Him, seek Him and DO what He tells you to do, every day, or else you will not find that narrow door. It is HARD WORK to enter the kingdom of Heaven and very few will make it. 
May Jesus bless you.

The Grace of God

There is a lot of misconception about the grace of God. God does not tolerate sin but He grants us forgiveness if we repent and obey Jesus Christ. We read in Titus 2:11”For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all men, 12INSTRUCTING US to deny ungodliness and worldly desires and to live sensibly, righteously and godly in the present age, 13looking for the blessed hope and the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Christ Jesus, 14who gave Himself for us to redeem us from every lawless deed, and to purify for Himself a people for His own possession, zealous for good deeds. “

It is clear that if you hope in Christ and the grace of God has come to you then you have turned away from sin and you live a holy and a godly life. We read in 1Peter 1:13"Therefore, prepare your minds for action, keep sober in spirit, fix your hope completely on the grace to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ. 14As obedient children, DO NOT BE CONFORMED TO THE FORMER LUSTS which were yours IN YOUR IGNORANCE, 15but like the Holy One who called you, be holy yourselves also in all your behavior; 16because it is written, “YOU SHALL BE HOLY, FOR I AM HOLY.”' We are instructed to live in righteousness and in holiness. But if we go back to sin and our previous lifestyle of sin then the wrath of God comes on us, we will perish!

As we read in Hebrews 10:26”For if we go on sinning willfully after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, 27but a terrifying expectation of judgment and THE FURY OF A FIRE WHICH WILL CONSUME THE ADVERSARIES.” If we go back to sin we can expect to end up in hell UNLESS we repent and turn back to God.

There is grace and there is mercy for every soul who truly repents. We are called to holiness, to live in communion and in relationship with Jesus Christ. We read in 1 John1:5 ”This is the message we have heard from Him(Jesus) and announce to you, that God is Light, and in Him there is no darkness at all. 6IF WE SAY THAT WE HAVE FELLOWSHIP WITH HIM AND YET WALK IN THE DARKNESS, WE LIE AND DO NOT PRACTICE THE TRUTH; 7but IF WE WALK IN THE LIGHT as He Himself is in the Light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin.” IF we walk in the Light, but if we do not walk in the Light then we are in darkness, we are NOT IN HIS PRESENCE.

Verse 8 ”If we say that we have no sin, we are deceiving ourselves and the truth is not in us. 9If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 10If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar and His word is not in us.

1 John 2:1”My little children, I am writing these things to you SO THAT YOU MAY NOT SIN. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous; 2and He Himself is the propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for those of the whole world.

3By this we know that we have come to know Him, IF WE KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS. (the words that Jesus spoke) 4The one who says, “I have come to know Him,” and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him; 5but whoever keeps His word, in him the love of God has truly been perfected. By this we know that we are in Him:6the one who says he abides in Him ought himself to walk in the same manner as He walked.”
We are called to holiness and righteousness. That is the grace of God, that we might find forgiveness of the sins that we did in our ignorance BUT IF WE GO BACK TO SIN then the WRATH OF GOD WILL COME ON US because He does not tolerate sin. Without holiness no man will see God. If we truly repent we will find forgiveness but we cannot sin every day and repent every day, then we are not in relationship with Him, then we are not walking in the Light. The grace of God leads us to repentance and holiness and righteousness. We must be holy like Jesus Himself who called us is holy. If we are not holy and blameless then we are not fit for the kingdom of God. We must walk daily in righteousness and in holiness in the presence of God or else we are not fit for His kingdom. That is the grace of God, that we might become children of God and be like Jesus.
May Jesus bless you.

Your only hope

Your only hope for eternal life is to STOP SINNING, to REPENT and BE HOLY, OBEY Jesus and He will grant you forgiveness. But if you go on sinning you will perish. Sin separates us from God. All your other endeavors, everything you do, your works, your charities, your church attendance, is all in vain if you sin.

The WAGES OF SIN IS DEATH. Without holiness no man shall see God. Holiness means to be PURE, BLAMELESS WITHOUT SIN. No sin will come into the presence of God, even ONE WILLFUL SIN will separate you from God. Your only hope is to STOP SINNING and OBEY Jesus Christ or else YOU WILL PERISH.

May Jesus bless you.

Move that Mountain

The whole world is in the power of satan, the evil one because he has captured their imagination. He has grabbed hold of their mind and now he rules over them. People believe what the devil tells them and that is why they are in bondage.

Let me explain to you how this works. I once visited a safari farm and on this safari farm there were two huge lions inside a cage. This cage was made of thin diamond mesh wire. I said to the owner:”Are you not worried that these lions will break out because if they give that fence one clout with that huge paw they will destroy it.” He laughed at me. He said:”They don't know that they can do that because I put them in that cage when they were still little. They then tried to get out but because they couldn't they still believe that they cannot get out.” Those lions could easily break that wire IF THEY JUST TRIED, but because they believed that they couldn't get out, that is why they didn't try. And that is how the devil has captured the whole world. He lies to them and people believe what the devil tells them.

For those who believe in Jesus Christ, NOTHING will be impossible. Believers say that it is impossible to stop sinning. If Jesus has made you free, then you will be free. We read in John 8:34”Jesus answered them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who commits sin is the slave of sin. 35“The slave does not remain in the house forever; the son does remain forever. 36“So IF THE SON MAKES YOU FREE, YOU WILL BE FREE INDEED.” If Jesus has made you free, you will be free. If you have accepted Him as your Lord and your Master then you will be free.

The apostle Paul writes in Romans 6:12”Therefore DO NOT LET SIN REIGN IN YOUR MORTAL BODY so that you obey its lusts, 13and do not go on presenting the members of your body to sin as instruments of unrighteousness; but present yourselves to God as those alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God. 14FOR SIN SHALL NOT BE MASTER OVER YOU, for you are not under law but under grace.” The grace of God sets us free from the bondage of sin and from the lies of the devil IF we obey Jesus Christ. If we do not OBEY Him, we remain in bondage.

If you have accepted Jesus YOU ARE FREE. You are not in bondage of sin any more. You are free to go. You are like that lion, you can just take down the fence BUT you have got to submit yourself to Jesus and then the devil will flee from you.

We read in James 4: 7”Submit therefore to God. RESIST THE DEVIL AND HE WILL FLEE FROM YOU. 8Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded. 9Be miserable and mourn and weep; let your laughter be turned into mourning and your joy to gloom.10Humble yourselves in the presence of the Lord, and He will exalt you.” If you humble yourself before the Lord and you repent then the power of God will work through you, you will have POWER OVER SATAN and you WILL BE FREE. But you have to BELIEVE in Jesus, you have to OBEY Him. You have to REPENT and submit yourself to Him and then YOU WILL HAVE POWER TO OVERCOME SATAN.

NOTHING WILL BE IMPOSSIBLE FOR YOU if YOU BELIEVE! We read in Matthew 17:19 Jesus said “truly I say to you, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and NOTHING WILL BE IMPOSSIBLE TO YOU.” If you believe in Jesus nothing will be impossible for you.

Sin will not be master over you. Fear and anxiety will not be master over you. If you believe in Jesus and submit to Him YOU WILL TELL THAT MOUNTAIN TO MOVE AND IT WILL MOVE, because you believe. But if you don't believe and you believe satan and his messengers and other people, and what the doctor says, and what the psychologist says, and what satans preachers say from the pulpits, you will stay in bondage; because they say:”We are all sinners.” I AM NOT A SINNER! Jesus Christ has set me free and because He has set me free I have got power over satan, I have got power over sin and I say to that mountain. “In the Name of Jesus, MOVE!” AND IT WILL MOVE because I believe.

If you BELIEVE in Jesus , you will be free. If you are a child of God you will have authority over satan and you will not be in bondage of sin. You will not believe his lies. But if you are in bondage it is because you do not believe Jesus, you are captured by satan.

Believe in Jesus, submit yourself to Him, OBEY Him and YOU will tell that mountain to move, but YOU HAVE TO TELL IT TO MOVE. Nobody else will do it for you. Jesus will not take you out of that cage because. He has told you you are free, YOU ARE FREE TO GO! But if YOU don't get up and GO you will remain in bondage. You have to take those steps of faith and START WALKING in the Name of Jesus. YOU have to rebuke satan in the name of Jesus IF you have faith.

Submit yourself to Jesus, resist the devil and he will flee from you. Speak to that mountain and it will MOVE.

May Jesus bless you.

The blood of Jesus does not cover willful sin

Jesus Christ, the Son of God, through Whom and to Whom and by Whom all things were created, took the form of a man, flesh and blood, like we are and He came to this earth. He lived a normal human life like we do and He proved that flesh and blood CAN OBEY God; flesh and blood can live without doing sin. Further Jesus also atoned for the sins of the whole world by His blood, on the cross. He took the pain, He took the punishment so that all who REPENT and accept Him as Lord and Master and OBEY Him, SIN NO MORE, so that they can have eternal life. But IF WE GO ON SINNING after coming to the knowledge of the truth WE WILL PERISH. THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST DOES NOT COVER WILLFUL SIN.

We read in Hebrews 10:26-31 “For if we go on sinning willfully after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, 27but a certain terrifying expectation of judgment, and THE FURY OF A FIRE WHICH WILL CONSUME THE ADVERSARIES. 28Anyone who has set aside the Law of Moses dies without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. 29How much severer punishment do you think he will deserve who has trampled under foot the Son of God, and has regarded as unclean the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified, and has insulted the Spirit of grace? 30For we know Him who said, “VENGEANCE IS MINE, I WILL REPAY.” And again, “THE LORD WILL JUDGE HIS PEOPLE.” 31It is a terrifying thing to fall into the hands of the living God.”

If we go on sinning then it will be a terrifying thing to fall into the hands of the living God because He does not excuse willful sin. Jesus said: “SIN NO MORE.” He forgives our past sin IF we TRULY REPENT and we OBEY Him with all our heart but if we go back to sin then we have a terrifying expectation of the wrath of God. The WAGES OF SIN IS DEATH. IF WE GO ON SINNING WE WILL PERISH IN ETERNAL DAMNATION.

May Jesus bless you.

LISTEN to the SPIRIT to LIVE.

Eternal life comes by LISTENING and by OBEYING the HOLY SPIRIT of GOD. If we do not have the Spirit of Christ in us and if we do not OBEY HIM, we do not have life in us. It is the Holy Spirit who guides us into all truth IF we have received Him, IF we listen and IF we obey Him.
It is written in Hebrews 10:38 “BUT MY RIGHTEOUS ONE SHALL LIVE BY FAITH; AND IF HE SHRINKS BACK, MY SOUL HAS NO PLEASURE IN HIM.” God justifies those who OBEY HIM, who do what He tells them to do. He put His Spirit in us and if we obey Him then He gives us eternal life. "It is written, that MAN SHALL NOT LIVE ON BREAD ALONE, BUT FROM EVERY WORD THAT PROCEEDS FROM THE MOUTH OF GOD."Matthew 4:4 FAITH comes by the HEARING, when we HEAR the WORD OF GOD, when God speaks to us in our spirit and we obey Him, then we are justified. There is no other way to please God but to OBEY HIM and to do what He tells us to do.
In the Old Testament in 1 Kings 13 There is a story of a young prophet who was sent by God to go and warn King Jeroboam BUT there was also an old prophet who came and who told this young prophet to come and stay over with Him, AFTER GOD had told this young prophet NOT to return home with the same road NEITHER to stay over. But because this other man was also a prophet of God, he allowed himself to be PERSUADED, to stay over with the old prophet, and because of that he died. We read in 1 King 13:28 ”He went out and found his body thrown on the road with the donkey and the lion standing beside him; the lion had not eaten the body nor torn the donkey.” That was his REWARD for DISOBEYING GOD. This young prophet was killed by a lion because he rather listened to the old prophet and DISOBEYED GOD. We will LIVE if we obey the Spirit of God.
A Second World War veteran once told me that he survived the war because he listened to his conscience. He told me how quite a few times he knew inside that he was not safe where he was and he had to move, just a few feet, go and sit in a different place and then a bomb would drop right where he had been a few minutes before. He LISTENED to his CONSCIENCE and he survived. God puts His Spirit in us and we have to LISTEN and OBEY to LIVE. “Those who are LED BY THE SPIRIT OF GOD, they are the SONS OF GOD.” Romans 8:14.
We will only have eternal life if we LISTEN to the Spirit of God. LISTEN and your soul will live. If you have not received the Spirit of God, REPENT and invite Jesus into your life, be baptized in water and ask Him for the baptism in the Holy Spirit, ask Him for His Spirit to come and dwell inside of you and LISTEN to the Spirit of God. OBEY HIM and you will live, DISOBEY HIM and you will perish.
May Jesus bless you.

The door will close - no deathbed repentance

Many people are hoping on a chance for a deathbed repentance. They don’t want to serve Jesus now. They first want to go and enjoy their lives and when it suits them they want to come back and serve the Lord. They don’t want to serve Jesus but they don’t want to go into hell. So they think that they can come back when it suits them but it won’t happen because God will close the Door on you.
We read in: Luke 13:23 "And someone said to Him, “Lord, are there just a few who are being saved?” And He said to them, 24“Strive to enter through the narrow door; for many, I tell you, will seek to enter and will not be able. 25“Once the head of the house gets up and shuts the door, and you begin to stand outside and knock on the door, saying, ‘Lord, open up to us!’ then He will answer and say to you, ‘I do not know where you are from.’ 26“Then you will begin to say, ‘We ate and drank in Your presence, and You taught in our streets’; 27and He will say, ‘I tell you, I do not know where you are from; DEPART FROM ME, ALL YOU EVILDOERS.’ 28“In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”
Once the Door is closed, you will cry out in vain. I recall the story of a man on his death bed, he was also hoping on a deathbed repentance and while he lay there, he was crying out to God and he had his hand in the air and he was groping, looking for the knob of the door and he was saying:"I cannot find the door! I cannot find the Door!" and he died, without finding the door. Are you also hoping on a deathbed repentance? Do you also want to enjoy your life now and come back to Jesus when it suites you? The door might just be closed.
Today is the day of salvation. Seek the Lord while He MIGHT BE FOUND. Tomorrow might be forever too late. Tomorrow you might cry out to Jesus but the door might be closed.
May Jesus bless you.

Be Perfect

Jesus commanded us to be perfect. We read in Matthew 5:48 "Therefore you are to be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.”

This is not a new commandment. We read in Deuteronomy 18:13 “You must be blameless before the LORD your God.”

We must not compare ourselves to others. We must compare ourselves to the standard of God, the standard that was demonstrated

by Jesus Christ, because He came and He proved that it is possible for flesh and blood to be perfect, to do the will of God.

If we are not blameless before God we will not enter the kingdom of Heaven. We must repent, obey Jesus and be perfect if we want to enter into the kingdom of God.

May Jesus bless you.

Nobody is saved YET - FEW are being saved.

Many believers wrongly BELIEVE and CLAIM to be SAVED and they believe that they have SECURITY of SALVATION. NOBODY who is ALIVE right now has finally being saved YET. We are in the PROCESS of being saved IF we are following Jesus and doing what is pleasing to Him. We read in Luke 13:23 “And someone said to Him, Lord are there just a FEW who are BEING SAVED and He said to them: STRIVE to enter the narrow Door for MANY I tell you will SEEK TO ENTER and WILL NOT BE ABLE.”
NOBODY is finally saved YET. IF you have REPENTED and been baptized in water and you have received the Holy Spirit and you are following the guidance of the Holy Spirit, every day of your life and DOING what is pleasing to JESUS then you are in the PROCESS of being saved. But IF you DO NOT ENDURE UNTIL THE END of your life, then you WILL NOT ENTER the KINGDOM OF HEAVEN. Jesus said: "Whoever puts his hand to the plow and looks back is not worthy of the Kingdom of Heaven." "The Righteous will live by faith and IF he withdraws, My soul will have no pleasure in him." We must ENDURE UNTIL the VERY END. Jesus said: "Whoever WISHES to come after Me, must deny himself, pick up his cross EVERY DAY and come here follow Me."
We have to DENY OURSELVES EVERYDAY and LISTEN to the Holy Spirit that He makes to dwell in those who have accepted Him, OBEY HIM and PLEASE HIM UNTIL the VERY END in order to have eternal life. But IF we DISOBEY HIM, IF we WITHDRAW we will be REJECTED and the DOOR will be CLOSED in our face. Only those who ENDURE UNTIL the VERY END will be SAVED.
May Jesus bless you.

Transformed Inside

A person who is born again of the Spirit of God is a new creation, instantaneously, he is a different person. The moment that you meet Jesus Christ, you are transformed, you are changed into a new man; you KNOW Jesus is ALIVE, He s real and you know that you need Him. You know He is Lord and you want to serve Him and you want to please Him, that's all that matters to you.

Most believers were never born again, they never met Jesus, they don't know Him. They just took on religion because they were scared of going to hell. They were conned into saying a sinners prayer and then they believed that they were saved. They joined a group or a church who told them that they have salvation now, they have been taught some Bible scriptures and based on the scriptures they believe that they have done the right thing and now they have eternal life.

If you have not met Jesus you don't have life. If you do not experience Him as real then you don't know Him. If you were not transformed and you did not become a new creature then no change has taken place, then your change is only on the surface but in your heart nothing has happened. Most believers are exactly the same as the rest of the world, they are only deceived, they believe that they are saved, they believe that they have salvation but they believe a lie because they don't know Jesus.

If you know Jesus you will be different. You will not be interested in the things of the world. You will be interested in the kingdom of God and you will be seeking more and more of Jesus. Most believers are just hypocrites, they got a bit of Bible knowledge and they fight about their religion but they don't know Jesus. They have got no testimony because they they have got no relationship with Him, they don't know Him. They have never been transformed.

Have you met Jesus Christ the LIVING God? Were you changed to your core? Are you a different person? Do you experience Jesus Christ as real or have you just taken on religion? If you seek Jesus with all your heart He will reveal Himself to you and you will never doubt again. You will know that Jesus Christ is alive, He is the LIVING GOD.

Seek Jesus and ask Him to transform you into a child of God.

May Jesus bless you.

Why God Breaks Up Churches

Have you ever wondered why there are so many churches in the world? It is because God is destroying them. It started in the Book of Genesis, when people started building their own kingdoms and God caused confusion and they were scattered all over the earth.
Churches are the kingdoms of men, it is not the Kingdom of God and that is why God Himself causes confusion and He destroys the unity. He scatters the people and they start new little churches and as soon as they get going then God destroys the unity once again because it is not His Kingdom.
The Kingdom of God is One and He is Lord. It is not a Kingdom of this world. It is a SPRITUAL KINGDOM of which JESUS is LORD. You need to belong to JESUS. You need to be LED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT. You don’t need to belong to a church because if Jesus lives in you then YOU ARE THE CHURCH, then YOU ARE THE BODY OF CHRIST. There is no good church. God will destroy them all because they are the makings of men. GET OUT OF "CHURCH" and GET INTO THE BODY OF CHRIST. Become THE TEMPLE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. Let JESUS dwell IN you and you WILL BE THE CHURCH.
May Jesus bless you.

How to live longer

There is a guaranteed way of extending your life. It is not by healthy living but it is guaranteed by God. We read in Exodus  20:12 “"HONOR YOUR FATHER AND YOUR MOTHER, THAT YOUR DAYS MAY BE PROLONGED IN THE LAND WHICH THE LORD YOUR GOD GIVES YOU.“ If you respect and honor your parents then God will extend your life.
But there is a way of having ETERNAL LIFE which will extend your life even further into eternity. Jesus said: I read from John 11:25,26 “I AM THE RESURRECTION AND THE LIFE; HE WHO BELIEVES IN ME WILL LIVE EVEN IF HE DIES, AND EVERYONE WHO LIVES AND BELIEVES IN ME WILL NEVER DIE. DO YOU BELIEVE THIS?”
If you believe Jesus and you accept Him as the Lord and Master of your life and you obey Him, repent of sin, be baptized in water, receive Him, His Spirit inside of you, the Spirit of Life and you live to please Him, you will never die. Your body will fall away but your soul will go on living with Him for eternity. Do you want eternal life? Then accept JESUS and OBEY HIM.
May Jesus bless you.

Breaking the groove

If you seriously decide to follow Jesus, it will rudely and radically interrupt your life. You will have a new way of looking at life, you will have new priorities. Your priority will be to please Jesus and you will not be interested in the things that you were previously interested in. You will not be attracted by the things that were previously ruling your life. Your focus will be on Jesus and on being pleasing to Him. Jesus will be your life. Your focus will be on Jesus and on being led by the Holy Spirit. That will take you out of the groove that you have been in.
If you follow Jesus, you will trust in Him and He will provide your needs, He will go ahead of you. He will dictate your life but as long as you are still looking after yourself, doing things your way, then you are not following Jesus. Then you are just trying to fit religion into your way of living.
Following Jesus will radically disrupt all your plans because your focus will be on Him, on going where He sends you, doing what He tells you to do. But you cannot GO unless He sends you. You cannot DO unless He tells you to do it. You cannot HEAR what He is telling you if you are not listening and if you do not have the Holy Spirit. You need to have the Spirit of Christ IN you, follow Him, obey Him and do His will to be pleasing to Him.
Have you met Jesus? Has your live being disrupted? Did Jesus break the groove of your existence or are you carrying on as normal because then you have not yet met Jesus. You are just busy with RELIGION. You need Jesus if you want eternal life. You will not find Jesus in the Bible, in a church, with other people, you will find Him when you seek Him on your knees and He will reveal Himself to you if you are SERIOUS about knowing Him. If you have truly met Jesus, you will be a DIFFERENT PERSON, you will be CHANGED in a moment and you will not be the same person anymore. Have you met Jesus Christ?
May Jesus bless you.

Saved but not following - Lost again!

Everybody wants salvation because nobody wants to go to hell, but there is a condition to salvation and that condition is that we must follow Jesus. If you call on Jesus, He will save you, but then you must FOLLOW Him and OBEY Him. Most people are not willing to follow Jesus. They just want to be saved, they don't want Jesus.

Jesus said:”Whoever WISHES to come after Me must deny Himself, pick up his cross daily and follow Me.” Jesus gives His Holy Spirit in those who obey Him, who are baptized in water and then they LISTEN to His Spirit, they have interaction with the Spirit of God that He puts IN THEM and they must OBEY His Spirit.

That is how we follow Jesus, by SUBMITTING TO THE HOLY SPIRIT that He places in us, and we don't do what we want to do but we FOLLOW HIM and DO as He guides us. Not many people will be saved because people are not willing to PRESS ON IN and FOLLOW Jesus. They asked whether those who are being saved are few and He said that many will try hard to find the narrow door and enter the kingdom of heaven but very few will be able. (Luke 13:23)

Very few are willing to follow Jesus. They want to have salvation AND have their own lives. You cannot have salvation without Jesus, you MUST OBEY Him, you MUST repent of sin, you MUST be baptized in water and you MUST be baptized in the Holy Spirit and then you MUST follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit. You MUST obey Jesus. You cannot do what you please. Just reading your Bible and going to church and being religious cannot save you. You must be in that relationship with Jesus where you LISTEN to His Holy Spirit.

If you have not received the Spirit of God you CANNOT INTERACT WITH JESUS. You cannot be guided by the Holy Spirit if you have not received the Holy Spirit, and if you have received the Holy Spirit you have to keep on seeking Him, WAITING on Him, LISTENING, and following UNTIL the very very end of your life.
If Jesus IS NOT your life, then you don't have eternal life. You cannot have salvation without Jesus. Are you truly born again of the Spirit of God? Are you being led by the Spirit of God and are you following Jesus? If not, then you don't have eternal life. You must have Jesus to have eternal life. You must follow Him until the very, very end. If Jesus IS NOT your life, you don't have eternal life.

May Jesus bless you.

Do not give up

Many people accept Jesus Christ. They say the sinners prayer and they make a quick promise, they say:”Lord I will serve You for the rest of my life,” but they do not follow Him for a long time. Very soon they give up.

Jesus said:”Whoever wishes to come after Me, must deny himself, pick up his cross EVERY DAY and follow Me.” We have to follow Jesus until the very end or else everything has been in vain. The apostle Paul wrote in Galatians 6:9”And let us not lose heart in doing good, for in due time we shall reap if we do not grow weary.”

We will only win the prize of eternal life if we do not grow weary and give up. We must endure until the the very end. No quitters will go into the kingdom of heaven, it is only those who stay with Jesus until the very end. Jesus said that whoever puts his hand to the plow and looks back is not worthy of the kingdom of God.

Do not grow weary, do not give up but follow Jesus EVERY DAY until the very end.

May Jesus bless you.
