Your TESTIMONY will save you



Jesus Christ called us to be His witnesses in this world, to be the Light of the world. But if we are ashamed of Him and we deny Him in this world then He will also deny us. Jesus said that: “whoever is ashamed of Me and My words amongst this wicked generation, the Son of Man will also be ashamed of him when He comes in His glory with His Holy angels.”
We are the Light of the world and our light must shine. Jesus said that :”if the light that is in you is darkness, how great is not the darkness.” If Jesus cannot be seen in us, if we are not light in this world, if we are not witnesses for Jesus then He will DENY US and he will REJECT us. He will say before His Father:”I do not know this person,” and we will end up in eternal damnation. What will save us is our TESTIMONY OF Jesus Christ.
Are we proclaiming the Kingdom of God? Are we telling the world that Jesus Christ is KING, He is MY KING and His WORDS are the WORDS OF ETERNAL LIFE? If we are ashamed of Him He will also be ashamed of us. What will save you is your testimony of Jesus Christ, not merely saying:”I am a Christian,” but your testimony of your daily walk with Him, your relationship with Him. Does the world KNOW that you are a man or a woman of God, that you walk with God? Do you stand out for Jesus?

May Jesus bless you.

Fantasy Faith



Many people in the western world are living a fantasy life. To them their life is a reality show. They follow their imagination and they believe certain things to be true. They also do this with their faith. Many call themselves Christians, but they seek themselves a church and a Bible version and teachings, doctrines that suit them. They believe that they have salvation, they believe that they are saved, they believe that they are children of God but in reality they are sons of the devil and they do not know Jesus Christ.
If you do not take the words of Jesus seriously, those words written in the gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, and if you do not turn away form sin and OBEY the words of Jesus Christ, stop sinning, live holy, be baptized for the washing off of your sin, deny yourself and GO AFTER Jesus, you will not get to know Jesus and you will continue living in a fantasy world but you will wake up to reality the day that you die because then Jesus will say to you:”Go away I never knew you, you worker of wickedness.”
If you take the words of Jesus seriously and OBEY them, repent and be baptized, go after Jesus, be holy, righteous, then Jesus will reveal Himself to you and you will GET TO KNOW Him. Are you living a fantasy or do you TRULY know Jesus Christ? What will Jesus say to you the day that you die? Will He know you or will He turn you away?

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.

With the HEART not the HEAD



You follow Jesus Christ with your HEART not with your HEAD. People want to figure out God. They want to read a book and understand, they want to understand God, they want a road map and unless they can UNDERSTAND with their small little minds, they WILL NOT FOLLOW, they will not DO, they will not OBEY Jesus Christ. It is because they want to figure it out with their HEAD and follow their own mind, their own understanding and their own desires.
If you follow Jesus, you follow Him with your HEART. You TRUST Him with everything that is in you, you PRAY and He puts His Spirit in you, you TRUST Him and you FOLLOW Him. He puts His WORDS in you, He puts His MIND in you. You don't try to figure it out because you TRUST Him, you OBEY Him and you FOLLOW Him.
If you do not TRUST Jesus from the HEART, you will not follow Him, you will not OBEY Him. That is why people rather cling to their Bibles and to other people and to things that they can understand and why they will never KNOW nor FOLLOW Jesus Christ. If you do not TRUST Him from the HEART He will not reveal Himself to you because YOU WILL BE DOUBTING HIM all the time.
Without FAITH it is impossible to please God. If you go to God you must BELIEVE and you must TRUST or else you will RECEIVE NOTHING, you will UNDERSTAND NOTHING. You need to TRUST Him with all your HEART and then He will reveal Himself to you.

May Jesus bless you.

FIRST Get To KNOW Jesus


Most professing Christian believers do not KNOW the One in whom they believe. They do not KNOW Jesus. Many of them know scripture, they know the Bible, they know ABOUT Jesus. They go through the motions, they repent, get baptized in water, they attend a church but THEY DON'T KNOW JESUS. They have NEVER MET HIM. Some have met Him but they did not get into that real close relationship with Him.
If we seek Jesus, we find Him but we FIRST need to FIND HIM before we can follow Him! You cannot follow Him if you do not truly KNOW Him, if you don't know His voice. If we draw closer to Him He draws closer to us. If we seek Him with all our heart, we pray, we cry out to Him, we PURIFY ourselves, yearn in our hearts for Him, seek Him day and night, HE WILL MANIFEST HIMSELF TO US, He will SHOW HIMSELF, He will REVEAL HIMSELF that He is REAL, that He is GOD and we will KNOW HIM FOR REAL.
You can only follow Jesus IF you KNOW HIM. You cannot follow Jesus based on what other people say, based on what is written in the Bible, that is hear say! You need to KNOW Him FIRST before you can FOLLOW Him. You find Him on your knees, crying out to Him with all your heart and He will reveal Himself to you. There is no magic, there is no methodology, it is a heart yearning for his Maker.
If we seek Him we find Him and we find LIFE. There is only ONE WAY, get on your knees, cry out to Jesus with all your heart UNTIL He reveals Himself to you, until the sun breaks through and you see the LIGHT and then you will never doubt again.
You FIRST need to KNOW JESUS CHRIST before you can follow Him and you need to STAY WITH HIM all your life to HAVE LIFE. If you leave Him you wither, you DIE. Without Jesus we can do nothing. SEEK Jesus with all your heart and you will find Him.

May Jesus bless you.

Educated Sheep


The whole world craves education and knowledge as a means to be self-sufficient, self-providing and independent but people become brainwashed with all the knowledge that they accumulate. Instead of learning wisdom and getting to know God they follow their own minds and other people. They are like sheep led to the slaughter because they are brainwashed. They are deceived by their own insight and the opinions of men instead of learning wisdom from God because they don't trust God.
Professing to be wise they have become fools because they have rejected the only true wisdom, Jesus Christ. The accumulation of knowledge cannot save us. Only Jesus Christ can save us. Only those who are led by His Holy Spirit, who willingly follow Him, seek Him and obey Him, only they will have LIFE, in this life and in eternity.
Are you accumulating knowledge or do you seek the guidance of the Holy Spirit? Are you following Jesus or are you a sheep being led to the slaughter?

May Jesus bless you.

Dead Religion


Most people who call themselves Christians do not even know Jesus Christ, they have no relationship with Him. They cannot even pray. They are conducting a form of religion that is DEAD, a form of godliness that denies Jesus Christ.
To follow Jesus Christ means to be in a moment by moment relationship with Him every moment of your life and when you die you step over from this life to eternity and you continue your relationship with Jesus. To many people Jesus will say on that day:”Go away I never knew you.” Do you have a relationship with Jesus, that will continue the day that you step over from this life?
Do you KNOW Jesus and does He know you? Or are you busy with a dead religion?

May Jesus bless you.

By Faith Not Presumption


“The righteous will live by faith and if he withdraws My soul will have no pleasure in him,” that is what the Lord says because without faith it is impossible to please God. You can only WALK BY FATH if you have HEARD FROM GOD because faith comes from the hearing of the Word of God. If God has spoken to you and you have HEARD what He said, you BELIEVE IT and TAKE ACTION.
Many people WALK BY PRESUMPTION not by faith. They jump to conclusions or they claim to “step out in faith.” If you have not HEARD FROM GOD you have NO SUBSTANCE for your faith, then you are on your own, you are on your own initiative following your own mind and your own thoughts. You have to HEAR FROM GOD and then ACT on what YOU HAVE HEARD. Then you can be walking by faith.
Are you HEARING from the Lord? Are you WAITING on Him? Do you LISTEN when He speaks to you? Are you living by faith or by presumption? “Those who are led by the Spirit of God they are the sons of God.” You cannot follow Jesus by presuming things, by reading the Bible and then presuming certain things. You have to get CONFIRMATION from Him. If you are not sure, PRAY and ASK Him and He will speak to you. He CAN SPEAK, He is God. Wait on Him, LISTEN and OBEY, ACT on that which He TELLS you and then only can you walk by faith.

May Jesus bless you.

Changed through EXPERIENCE

Education and training stimulates your intellect but it is EXPERIENCE that gives you true knowledge and insight and CHANGES you. You can read the Bible and study what other people have experienced as much as you like but it is only your experience with Jesus Christ that brings you to true UNDERSTANDING and knowledge of Christ.
If you do not have EXPERIENCE with Jesus, if you do not walk with Him, if you do not live on revelation from Him then you do not truly know Him and you are not transformed, you are not changed. It is only when you EXPERIECE Jesus Christ that you are TRANSFORMED, you are CHANGED INTO HIS LIKENESS through your relationship with Him, through your EXPERIENCE.
Are you experiencing Jesus Christ and are you being transformed into His likeness through your relationship with Him? If you have no EXPERIENCE with Jesus Christ then your religion and your faith is FAKE. How real is your relationship with Jesus. Do you experience Him every day?

May Jesus bless you.

Show that you are serious

Many people say that they love Jesus but at the same time they also confess that they cannot stop sinning. It is the same as being married and having many other lovers. The same people also say that Jesus does not talk to them, they don't hear His voice.
If you do not show by your deeds that you are serious about your relationship with Jesus Christ HE WILL NOT ANSWER YOU. Your faith is in vain. If we draw closer to Him, He draws closer to us. Show by your DEEDS that you are serious about following Jesus. REPENT, STOP SINNING, BE HOLY, OBEY JESUS, BE BAPTIZED IN WATER for the washing off of your sin, GO AFTER Jesus, seek Him with all your heart and He will reveal Himself to you.
May Jesus bless you.

The Fatal Mistake Many Christians Make

Most people who profess to be Christians make the fatal mistake of not getting to know Jesus Christ for real. They only believe IN Him but they have no real relationship with Him.
Jesus Christ gives the Holy Spirit to those who OBEY Him, who REPENT from sin and from going after their own lusts and their own desires, their own ambitions and turn around, FOLLOW Him. Those who OBEY Him and who are baptized in water and who SEEK Him to them He gives the Holy Spirit, His very own presence, to be with them and to guide them every step of the way, to teach them, to transform them into children of God, to those who EARNESTLY SEEK and FOLLOW Him. They are the ones who get to KNOW Him for real.
But those who do not seek Him, who do not get to know Him make the fatal mistake of believing that they are saved and when they stand in front of Him He will say to them:”Go away I never knew you, workers of wickedness.”
Have you come to KNOW Jesus Christ, do you follow Him every day? Do you obey Him or are you making the fatal mistake of just believing in Jesus Christ?

May Jesus bless you.

If You Really Believe You Will


Just believing in Jesus Christ cannot save you. If you really believe in Jesus Christ you will go after Him, you will obey Him and follow Him, you will walk with Him moment by moment. You will not stray from Him. You will want to be pleasing to Him every moment. Most believers do not believe in Jesus. They believe in the Bible, they believe in other things. They do not walk with God. They walk with a Bible, they fellowship with other Christians, they ask their advice from other people. They watch videos. They listen to preachers but they do not follow Jesus, they do not pray. They do not LISTEN to HIM. They do not know Him!
If you believe in Jesus you will SERVE Him in your spirit. You will be constantly aware of HIM. You will be sensing His Spirit all the time and you will DO that which is pleasing to Him. Do you really believe in Jesus? Do you know Him? Do you SEEK HIM? Do you SERVE Him in your spirit? Is He always on your mind? Or don't you really believe? If you truly believe in Jesus you will not leave Him but you will follow Him, you will WALK WITH GOD because JESUS CHRIST IS GOD! Do you know Him and do you follow Him? Do you REALLY believe?

May Jesus bless you.

It is not who you are or what you believe


It is not who you are or what you believe that determines where you will spend eternity. It all depends on whom you are following. If you do not FOLLOW and OBEY Jesus Christ you WILL NOT have eternal life and you will not enter the kingdom of heaven.
The kingdom of heaven already starts right now and if you do not serve Jesus Christ as LORD and follow Him right now then you are not part of His kingdom. You might say that you believe in Jesus but if you do not follow and OBEY Him then you will not have eternal life and then you are not of Him. It is only those who FOLLOW and OBEY Jesus Christ, who deny themselves, pick up their cross and follow Jesus Christ every day, led by His Holy Spirit, DOING what He tells them to do, it is only they who will have eternal life. Only they are children of God.

May Jesus bless you.

Jesus Opens Doors


Jesus Christ goes ahead of those who follow Him. He opens doors and leads them through impossible places. Jesus Christ IS the WAY the TRUTH and the LIFE, He IS the DOOR. He ENABLES those whom He calls. He goes ahead of them. There is no obstacle that cannot be overcome. There is no door that cannot be opened. They are not restricted BECAUSE they follow Jesus.
If we seek His kingdom and His righteousness He uses us to achieve His purpose in HIS own special way. It is all about FOLLOWING Jesus and DOING His will. Are you going after Jesus and is He taking you through impossible situations to achieve His will? Are you following Jesus through the impossible? Is your walk with Jesus testimony that He is the God of the impossible?
Follow Jesus, LISTEN, OBEY, TRUST Him and He will work the GREATER WORKS in and through YOU because then it is not you, neither your initiative but it is the Holy Spirit of God working IN and THROUGH you to achieve the will of God and to demonstrate the POWER of God to this world, to bring LIGHT in darkness, to bring HOPE and to bring people into the kingdom of God.

May Jesus bless you.

No Holiness NO Rapture


The situation in the world today is desperate and the only safe place is WITH Jesus. Many believers see the signs of the times and they are waiting, they are expecting to be RAPTURED out of this world to be with Jesus but these same people do not have a relationship with Jesus right now. Without HOLINESS no man shall see God.
We have to FOLLOW and OBEY Jesus Christ RIGHT NOW. He has put us here for a purpose, for this time, to be LIGHT IN DARKNESS, to bring souls to Him. Many are waiting to be raptured but they are not LIGHT, they are not SALT. They are DARKNESS, they are conformed to this world. We have to be TRANSFORMED into the LIKENESS OF CHRIST through the renewal of our mind. If we have the MIND OF CHRIST we are like HIM and we are WITH HIM right here, right now WHERE WE ARE because WHERE JESUS IS THERE HIS SERVANTS ARE ALSO.
All the calamity in this world right now, GOD IS IN IT, right in it in the center of it because man has turned his back on God and God has not abandoned man. He is drawing man unto Himself. The hand of God is MOVING through calamity, through signs and wonders to DRAW MAN TO HIM so they they will REPENT OF THEIR WICKED WORKS and SEEK HIM and realize that it is because they have rejected Him that these things are happening in the world.
If you are not living in utter righteousness and holiness you cannot be in the presence of God. You cannot be hearing His voice, you cannot be DOING HIS WILL, you cannot be in His presence. To be holy means to be PURE. You cannot be in sin AND in the presence of God. You cannot BELIEVE yourself into heaven, you have to FOLLOW JESUS CHRIST, you have to OBEY Him EVERY DAY. You have to be PURE AND HOLY to live in His presence and to be APPROVED by Him.
Don't expect to be raptured out of trouble if you cannot be WITH Jesus in these circumstance that are controlled BY HIM. Seek Jesus NOW and LIVE in relationship with Him and you will SEE His hand in everything around you, RIGHT NOW.
May Jesus bless you.

A MIXTURE OF TRUTH LIES AND IMAGINATION


Most people believe a lethal mix of truth, lies and imagination, and they practice their faith accordingly. They do what they please according to what they believe. But Jesus Christ promised us the Holy Spirit to guide us into all truth IF we believe in Him, we OBEY Him and we follow HIM.
Jesus Christ ALONE is the WAY the TRUTH and the LIFE. Those who follow HIM will never be in darkness. He will guide you into the WHOLE TRUTH if you seek HIM and not people, if you seek HIS WILL and not your own desires. If you do not seek Jesus you will certainly end up in damnation.
Do you believe what YOU please and what you LIKE TO BELIEVE or are you seeking Jesus Christ every day FOR THE TRUTH? Are you seeking TRUTH? Are you seeking LIFE? Or are you running after your own desires?

May Jesus bless you.

The Believer's Protection


Many believers are fearful and anxious because of what is happening in the world. They are concerned about the future, about persecution and hardship. If we follow Jesus Christ we have nothing to worry about because He goes ahead of us. The reason why these people are so worried is because they are NOT FOLLOWING Jesus Christ and they DO NOT TRUST HIM.
We read in Revelation 12:11 “They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and the word of their testimony and they loved not their lives until death.” Those are the ones who FOLLOWED Jesus Christ and who OVERCAME.
You overcome by your TESTIMONY. Your testimony is the result of your relationship with Jesus Christ. It is the PROOF that you are following Jesus because you only have a testimony IF you follow Jesus Christ.
Are YOU overcoming because YOU are following Jesus Christ and He is going ahead of you? Are YOU overcoming because of the blood of the Lamb and the word of YOUR testimony?

May Jesus bless you.

Don't be spooked


Many believers are very unstable. They are easily frightened by what is happening in the media, in the News. They run after every new bit of teaching, little “revelations” from people who claim to be prophets and men and women of God.
If you follow Jesus Christ then you are not swayed, you are led by the Holy Spirit, you are not spooked by every new little story, you LISTEN to the Holy Spirit because you are one of Jesus' sheep. You WAIT on Him and you are guided by His Holy Spirit. You are not spooked by every new little thing that happens. You are like a tree that is planted by the water stream. Even in difficult times, times of trouble and turmoil you still bear fruit. You are founded on the Rock, Jesus Christ, and you ARE NOT MOVED because Jesus is not moved.
Are you easily spooked? Or do you trust in Jesus? Do you wait on Him and follow Him? If you trust in Jesus you are never deterred because you KNOW the ONE in whom you have believed. You TRUST Him and you follow Him and you DO what is pleasing to Him no matter what other people think or what is happening in the world because Jesus is in control and you are following Him.

May Jesus bless you.

NOT what Jesus did on the cross

Many people have been deceived into believing that salvation is about trusting in what Jesus Christ did on the cross. That is a lie from satan. It is not about what Jesus Christ did on the cross, it is about US denying OURSELVES, picking up our cross and following Jesus Christ until the very end.
Jesus said that “Whomever wishes to come after Me must deny himself, pick up HIS cross and follow Me until the very end.” Salvation is about believing WHO Jesus is, (HE IS LORD, HE IS KING OF KINGS, HE IS LORD OF LORDS), and then OBEYING Him and SERVING Him as LORD, OBEYING His words. He said:”If you love Me keep My commandments.” REPENT AND BE BAPTIZED.
Many people have been told it is not necessary to be baptized in water. That is a lie from satan! If you disobey Jesus you will perish. If you want eternal life you have to OBEY Jesus Christ and SERVE HIM AS LORD. Do not let anybody influence you to disobey Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ IS eternal life, OBEY HIM.
It is not about what He did, it is about what YOU do. YOU have to follow Jesus Christ and OBEY Him until the very end. They asked Jesus whether few are being saved and He said to them:”STRIVE HARD to enter the narrow gate because many, I tell you, will try and not be able. How hard are we trying? Are you OBEYING Jesus Christ? Are you striving with every bit of power that is in you to obey Jesus? Because if you don't, you won't make it.

It is not about what Jesus did, it is about what YOU do, whether YOU obey Jesus and DO what is pleasing to Him. May Jesus bless you.

Filthy Works

Many believers think that they can buy God's favor by their works, by their Bible study, their church attendance, their support to their favorite charity, the money that they give to the church, supporting the church bazaar, going to the fellowship meetings. They think that it pleases God that they attend Christian fellowship and that they do praise and worship and dancing in the church, participating in the church activities. Those are FILTHY WORKS.
God is not interested in those works. God is interested in one thing only and that is in OBEDIENCE and RIGHTEOUSNESS. Jesus said:”If you love Me OBEY MY WORDS” Jesus wants OBEDIENCE not sacrifice. He does not want your money nor the things that YOU want to GIVE to Him, the sacrifices YOU want to make. What is important to Jesus is that we OBEY HIM and give to Him the HONOR and the RESPECT and the OBEDIENCE that is due to Him, that we SERVE Him as LORD and MASTER. Our filthy works cannot buy the favor of God. God wants OBEDIENCE.

Are we serving God with REVERENCE and FEAR? Do we OBEY the words of Jesus. That is what is pleasing to God. May Jesus bless you.
