PRAY IT RIGHT

Carnal Christians and unbelievers try to fix their problems through worldly means, natural ways. They do like the rest of the world. If they have relationship problems with other people they want to talk it right, preachers want to preach it right. Religious people apply a Bible verse and they want to manipulate people by using scripture, or they attend some magical seminar to sort out their relationships. They might go to the psychologist and talk about it or they go on medication. When the carnal Christian is sick then he goes to the doctor or he swallows a pill.

But the child of God PRAYS, he PRAYS about all his problems and he submits himself and his problem to Jesus Christ who KNOWS all things and who can fix all things. That is the difference between a true child of God and a carnal Christian who is the same as an unbeliever because he does not really believe that God can do anything about his problem. He has either got to get help from outside, from some professional or he will try to fix it himself because he does not KNOW Jesus Christ nor does he TRUST Jesus Christ.

A child of God, a true follower of Jesus Christ firstly submits himself to the Lordship of Jesus Christ and asks the Lord to examine HIM, to make sure that HE is in the faith, that HE is in the will of God, say:”Lord examine me, test me and try me, see if there is in ME an evil way. Please lead ME on the right way.” And then I can with confidence take all my problems to Jesus and submit them to HIM, put all my problems under HIS LORDSHIP under HIS GOVERNMENT and TRUST HIM that He will fix it. If I do not trust Him and I try to fix it myself HE WILL NOT FIX IT because He does not share His glory with anybody.

A true child of God submits everything, all His problems, his whole life to Jesus Christ and then he himself stays focused on Jesus and makes sure that he stays in the will of God. Jesus said:”Seek ye FIRST the Kingdom of God and His righteousness and all the other things will be added unto you.”

Don't try and fix it, pray it right but FIRST submit yourself to Jesus and then he will firstly fix YOU and He will fix your problem.

May Jesus bless you.

False Hope in the BIBLE

Vast numbers of Christian believers base their faith and the security of their salvation on words written on paper, their Bibles, dead words, but they do not know Jesus Christ. The words written in the Bible cannot save us, it is Jesus Christ who saves those who OBEY Him. Man will not live from bread alone but from every word that proceeds from the MOUTH of God.

If we have not heard from Jesus Christ Himself then those words do not apply to us. We cannot take words from the Bible and apply it to us and then believe that those words can save us, they cannot. Jesus Christ is ALIVE, He is GOD. We must HEAR FROM HIM and we must live to please Him, we must have a LIVING RELATIONSHIP with Him.

If we do not KNOW Jesus Christ and we do not HEAR from Him we have NO GUARANTEE, we have NO HOPE! We need to HEAR FROM JESUS, WORDS OF LIFE every day. We need to HEAR from Jesus Christ and FOLLOW and OBEY Him until the very end. If we do not know Jesus and He does not know us He will say to us:”Go away I never knew you, you workers of wickedness.”

Do you HEAR from Jesus or do you just apply words written in the Bible to yourself? Is your hope in a Book or in the Living God, Jesus Christ? Do you KNOW Him for REAL?

May Jesus bless you.

Greater than WORDS

There are no words that can DEFINE, DESCRIBE or LIMIT God. God is GOD and He does what He pleases. Many Bible scholars and teachers will tell you that:”God cannot do this...” and “God cannot do that...” and “God will not do the other...” all based on what they have read in the Bible but THEY DO NOT KNOW GOD and therefor they also do not FEAR God. They have put Him in a box in their MIND.

Get to know Jesus and walk with Him, FOLLOW Him, He will reveal Himself to you and you will ALWAYS BE in the AWE and the FEAR of God. Get to know Jesus Christ for REAL.

May Jesus bless you.

Be SEPARATE DIFFERENT follow Jesus

We cannot be “man of the world” and man or woman of God. If we want to follow Jesus Christ we have to separate ourselves unto Him. We cannot do the same things as other people do, we cannot go the same places, we cannot run after the same attractions, watch TV like they do, go to sports games like they do.

We cannot aspire for the same achievements because we are in a different race (contest). If we follow Jesus then we seek to be pleasing to Him, we seek His approval and that will make us hated and rejected by this world. Jesus said:”You will be hated by all men,” even by the “Christians,” the hypocrites, those who do not follow Jesus but who have a form of godliness but they have denied Jesus Christ. They call themselves Christians but they do not follow Jesus Christ neither do they know Him. Maybe they study the Bible and they know a lot of scripture. Maybe they go to church, maybe they even have a church, maybe they are a preacher or a pastor but they don't know Jesus because they are not conformed to Him, they are like the world.

If we follow Jesus we are like Him and if we are like Jesus we are like nobody else because He made us uniquely wonderful for His purpose. Those who are led by the Spirit of God they are like the wind, they don't know where he comes from and where he is going. You don't know what he is going to do next because he goes after Jesus and he does the will of God, he is DIFFERENT FROM THE REST. He is separated unto God.

Jesus said we must first seek the Kingdom of God and His righteousness and then all the other things will be added unto us. We need to first seek Jesus, not fellowship with other people, not Bible knowledge, not what other people seek, not the popularity and acceptance of others but the approval of God. We need to seek to HEAR the VOICE of God, we need to seek to KNOW HIM as He knows us. We will be TAUGHT BY GOD and we will know all things because God teaches us and He guides us.

If you want eternal life, if you want to be part of the Kingdom of God you have to SEPARATE YOURSELF and SEEK the Kingdom of God, SEEK JESUS, follow Him, be a SON OF GOD, led by the Spirit of God.

May Jesus bless you.

Sinners and Saints

In this world there are two types of people, SINNERS and SAINTS. SINNERS Belong to satan and SAINTS ARE CHILDREN OF GOD. They do not sin and they follow after Jesus Christ their Lord. Saints are in this world but they are not of this world, they are among sinners but they STICK OUT LIKE A SORE THUMB, they don't fit in. They are rejected, hated, persecuted. They are PURE and HOLY. Their lights shine in this dark world. They are SALT and they are LIGHT. They are not part of the world and they are not conformed to the world. They do not go along with the things of this world but God put them here for His purpose to shine HIS LIGHT, to warn, to admonish and to bring light darkness.

God puts saints in amongst the sinners, the darkness, to warn them, to be light in this world and to bring sinners to repentance so that they can be born again and become children of God who are SAINTS. There is nothing in between, you are either a SINNER, a son of satan, or you are a SAINT.

Are you a child of God, a SAINT, or are you a SINNER, a son of the devil?

May Jesus bless you.

What God SAYS

Most people take seriously and often live by what others say, often to their own downfall. People are concerned about what other people say, what the doctor says, what the husband says, what the wife says, what the news says, what their children say, what the Bible says, what their pastor says but the one thing that really matters they are not concerned about and that is WHAT GOD SAYS.

Man shall not live from bread alone but from every word that proceeds from the mouth of God, and God is speaking to each and every person. God is speaking to YOU and to me but very few of us LISTEN or take seriously, even take note of what God is saying. If we LISTEN to the Holy Spirit of God and OBEY we will LIVE. Jesus said:”My sheep LISTEN to My voice and they follow Me.” whom are we LISTENING to? Are we listening to others or are we listening to what Jesus is saying? What is more important to us?

If we LISTEN to what Jesus is saying we will have eternal life. If we disregard Him and listen to what other people say, we will perish. Who are we LISTENING to?

May Jesus bless you.

Your Bible is NOT God

To many people their Bible is their Alpha and their Omega, the beginning and the end of their faith. They use their Bible for everything, to prove their faith, to justify themselves, they use their Bible to comfort them, some special verses. They use it to fight with, to refute other people. They use it as a map, for direction. They take their counsel from the Bible. Their Bible is their God, it is there everything, and therefor THEY DO NOT KNOW GOD, they DO NOT KNOW JESUS CHRIST.

Jesus Christ saves and justifies, guides and provides for those who FOLLOW AND OBEY Him, not for those who cling to their Bibles and justify themselves. If your bible has become the replacement for Jesus Christ in your life then your Bible is your God, it is your IDOL, and your Bible will cause you to end up in hell because it is Jesus whom you need.

You need to be guided by the Holy Spirit, you need to get your counsel from Him, your comfort, your guidance. If Jesus Christ is not the Alpha and Omega of your life, the Beginning and the End then Jesus Christ is not part of your life. Is Jesus TRULY your LORD? Do you FOLLOW AND OBEY Him? Is Jesus YOUR GOD or is your Bible your God?

May Jesus bless you.

The Mystery of all ages

God made man to LIVE FOR EVER but man cannot exist without God Himself. Since we were born the presence of God has been with us but we are alienated from God by our independence, our self-will and our rejection of God.

Man has been alienated from God since the garden of Eden but God has reconciled man with Himself in Jesus Christ. He came in the form of a MAN and He walked among men. He was crucified and He became the perfect sacrifice for the sin of men, to reconcile man with God to bring us back into communion with the Living God, so that we can have ETERNAL LIFE. He was crucified and He died but HE LIVES and He did not leave us on our own, He gives His Spirit to be WITH US and His Spirit has been knocking at the door of our heart since we were born, but we are alienated from God through our rejection of His Spirit, of Jesus Christ.

The MYSTERY OF ALL AGES is GOD WITH US, JESUS CHRIST IN US if we ALLOW Him and He gives us ETERNAL LIFE if we embrace Him. He comes and lives IN US, if we are united with Him and we LISTEN to the Spirit of God, Christ IN US, we become the MIND OF CHRIST, we become the PHYSICAL MANIFESTATION OF GOD HIMSELF because WE OBEY HIM. We become the CHURCH, the BODY OF CHRIST immortal, eternal.

That is the MYSTERY OF ALL AGES, that God made us to be born to live for ever, to be ONE with Him BUT we need to ACCEPT Him, OBEY Him, become ONE with Him through our OWN WILL. We are alienated from Him because we reject Him.

Have you accepted Jesus Christ into your live so that you can have LIFE? Has that MYSTERY become REAL in you? Is it revealed IN and THROUGH your life? Those who are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God, they are the PHYSICAL MANIFESTATION OF GOD, the REAL CHURCH, the REAL BODY OF CHRIST. Has that MYSTERY been revealed IN and THROUGH you? Have you become the physical manifestation of the Body of Christ? That is what we were made for, we are to be SONS OF GOD and have ETERNAL LIFE.

May Jesus bless you.

The world thinks it can put God in a box, especially the religious people, because they have Bibles and they study their Bibles and therefor they think that they can EXPLAIN God, DEFINE God, MANIPULATE God, ARGUE ABOUT God with scripture because they know the Bible. But they have no knowledge of God because GOD DOES NOT FIT INTO A BOX, He does not fit into our understanding.

Jesus Christ is God Almighty and He reveals Himself to those who HUMBLY seek Him on HIS TERMS. He does nor fit into anybody's definition or understanding but He GIVES UNDERSTANDING to those who HUMBLY BOW BEFORE HIM. He reveals Himself to those who REPENT OF SIN and OBEY Him, who SEEK HIM and who are guided by His Spirit. Those who think that they can put God in a box, especially the religious folk, the Bible believers, they KNOW NOTHING because THEY DON'T KNOW GOD! They don't know Jesus Christ and they deny His POWER, they REFUSE HIS HOLY SPIRIT and that is why they will PERISH IN THEIR SINS.

You need to HUMBLY come before Jesus Christ, SEEK HIM ALWAYS with all your heart, OBEY Him. He will reveal Himself to you and you will be CONSTANTLY IN AWE OF HIM. You will love Him, you will FEAR Him and you will SERVE Him, you will KNOW Him because He will reveal Himself to you. You will be able to take others to Him because YOU KNOW HIM.

Do you KNOW Jesus Christ, or have you put Him in a box? Do you have a PICTURE an IMAGE of Jesus in your mind? An image that you can manipulate and use to your advantage? Or have you met the TRUE LIVING GOD, Jesus Christ?

May Jesus bless you.

Without a Bible

To most modern believers it is unthinkable to be without a Bible because the Bible has become the medium and vehicle of practicing their religion. You can go to heaven without a Bible but you cannot go into the Kingdom of God without Jesus Christ and without the Spirit of Christ IN you, guiding you. If you do not have Jesus Christ you are LOST.

Most believers are spiritually DEAD and DYSFUNCTIONAL, they operate on the level of the mind and the common sense. They have no spiritual connection with the living God. A body without spirit is DEAD. If you do not have the Spirit of Christ in you , you are SPIRITUALLY DEAD. Jesus gives His Holy Spirit in every person who seeks to follow Him.

Most believers have Bibles but very few have the Holy Spirit or follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Very few believers truly KNOW Jesus Christ and very few of them will enter the Kingdom of Heaven because most believers trust in their Bibles and they are not led by the Holy Spirit of God that He gives in those who seek Him.

Do you have the Spirit of God in you? Do you follow His guidance or do you just have a Bible?

May Jesus bless you.

You cannot FORCE GOD

If we need guidance or wisdom we must ask of the Lord and He will freely give it to us, but we cannot FORCE GOD to answer us. Many people think that they can force God to give them an answer to their question. Some people pray and then they open the Bible and they hope that the Bible will open at the answer that God is giving them. That is WITCHCRAFT. That is not WAITING on the Lord.

If we ask of God we must HUMBLY WAIT on Him UNTIL He answers. He will answer in His own way at His owns time. God is GOD, we cannot FORCE GOD. It is not about us and our problem, it is about Jesus Christ and the Kingdom of God.

If we go to Him we must go BELIEVING, EXPECTANTLY, HUMBLY, ask of Him and WAIT on Him and IN HIS TIME, He will give us the RIGHT ANSWER.

May Jesus bless you.

GOD IS GOOD

God is GOOD, God is LOVE. God cares for us and God never changes. God sent His own Son, Jesus Christ, to show us the WAY and Jesus did not leave us to our own devices. He sent us the Holy Spirit, HIMSELF, His Spirit, to DWELL IN US and to GUIDE US, to be WITH US for ever.

But people don't want God, they don't want the WAY to LIFE, they don't want Jesus Christ. They don't want His presence. They want their own way, they want to live their own lives for their own pleasure and they reject God, and that is why they SUFFER and they PERISH.

God will never leave us. He will never forsake us but if we keep on rejecting Him then eventually He will give us our desires, He will leave us to our own devices and we will PERISH. If we keep on rejecting Jesus Christ we will spend eternity away from Him in damnation. Open your heart and invite Jesus in. Seek Him with all your power and you will find Him. Stay with Him and He will give you eternal life.

May Jesus bless you.

Proof that Jesus is God

People debate over whether Jesus Christ is God or not. Even Christians seek in the Bible for proof that Jesus Christ is God and yet they do not find it because they do not know Him. Even one of His disciples, Philip, said to Him:”Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us.” And Jesus said to him:”I have been with you for so long, and have you not known Me?”

If you SEEK Jesus Christ, you will find Him. If you SERVE Him He will REVEAL Himself to you and you will KNOW that HE IS GOD. The reason that people do not know that Jesus Christ is God is because they just DO NOT KNOW HIM.

Many cast out demons and do many things in the name of Jesus but they DON'T KNOW HIM. They don't know HE IS GOD. It is to them that Jesus will say one day:”Go away I never knew you, you workers of wickedness.”

Do YOU know that JESUS IS GOD?

May Jesus bless you.

Who Jesus is

Jesus Christ is GOD. He is the beginning and the end, He is the alpha He is the omega. He made all things and IN HIM all things hold together. Without Jesus Christ we can do nothing.

People minimize Jesus Christ because they do not know Him. They ignore Him, they reject Him. They think He is different from the Old Testament God, but GOD IS ONE. Jesus Christ is the SAME yesterday, today and for ever, HE NEVER CHANGES. He gives eternal life to those who OBEY Him but to many, those who rejected Him and denied Him, He will say:”Go away I never knew you, you workers of iniquity.”

Jesus Christ IS the Creator. God Himself manifested Himself IN Jesus Christ. If you do not KNOW Him you do not have eternal life. His sheep LISTEN to His VOICE and they FOLLOW Him, they OBEY Him.

Do you KNOW Jesus Christ by revelation? Has He revealed Himself to YOU? Seek Him and you will find Him. You will find eternal life. Reject Him and you will certainly perish.

May Jesus bless you.

Do Your Part

God's promises never fail. All that He promised He will do BUT God's promises are all conditional. We have to bring our part. God will render to every man according to their deeds. Those who seek Him, who obey Him, who do His will, will receive their reward but those who wickedly disobey Him, He will burn with unquenchable fire. THEY WILL PERISH!

If we want to spend eternity in God's kingdom, in His presence, we have to obey Jesus Christ, we have to DO OUR PART. or else, we will perish.

Are you doing your part?

May Jesus bless you.

No Need for God

Churches have no need for God because they feed off the congregation. The pastors of churches have no need for God because they are employed by churches and they get paid by their employers. Most people have no need for God. Wives depend on their husbands to supply in all their needs. Children depend on their parents for everything that they want and need. They don't need God! Many people depend on their employer, on their education, on themselves. They don't need God. They have found substitutes and that is why they don't know God. Many depend on the government, they are on government assistance, they have no need for God. Why should they seek Him? And that is why they will never get to know Him.

Many trust in their Bible knowledge for guidance and understanding. They have no need for the Holy Spirit, they don't need God . They think they know everything and they have everything.

If you WANT to follow Jesus Christ you have to FORSAKE all your IDOLS, all those things that you depend on and you have to LEARN to trust in Jesus or else you will never get to KNOW Him. That is why Jesus said:”Whoever WISHES to come after Me must DENY himself,” his own abilities, everything that he depends on, all his benefits, all his crutches, those things that cause him to NOT NEED GOD, have NO NEED FOR GOD, and then only can we LEARN to TRUST IN JESUS for everything, then only can we get to KNOW Him.

Have you forsaken everything and do you trust in Jesus? Where does your help come from? Do you have any need, any use for God?

May Jesus bless you.

An Abstract Relationship

Most people have an abstract, non-existent relationship with God. They follow an ideology, a picture in their mind that they have built up. They follow an image of Jesus Christ and of God that centers around THEM and THEIR DESIRES, that which THEY EXPECT, their expectations, their hopes. This picture has been built up in their imagination from what they have heard and from what they have read in the Bible but they do not know Jesus Christ, they do not know God. Their expectation is in their HOPE, their ideology but they do not hope in Jesus Christ, they do not KNOW Him.

If you have truly come to know Jesus then all that matters to you is Jesus Christ Himself, your relationship with Him, HEARING His voice, living in communion with Him, KNOWING that He is always pleased with you. Then your life IS Christ.

Do you have a REAL RELATIONSHIP with the Living God? Or do you believe in an ABSTRACT a PICTURE in your mind, that does not really exist? Get to know Jesus Christ, the Living God and you will have REAL LIFE.

May Jesus bless you.

God is with YOU

God is always with us. The problem is that most people are not with God, because of sin. Sin separates us from God and removes us from His presence. If we sin we have no relationship nor communion with God. We can only have a relationship and communion with God if we get rid of sin. We can only get rid of sin if we STOP SINNING and OBEY Jesus Christ, be BAPTIZED IN WATER for the washing off of our sins and then go on to OBEY Jesus Christ who will give His SPIRIT IN US through Whom we can be in relationship and communion with God.

Are you in communion with God? Are you WITH GOD or are you IN SIN? The soul that sins will perish. No sinners can come into the presence of God. We can only be WITH GOD if we get rid of our sin . Are you WITH GOD? Are you in communion with God? Or are you living IN SIN?

May Jesus bless you.

Avoiding and Ignoring God

It is because of ignorance that people carry on as though God does not exist. They do not realize that God is ever present, He knows everything and nothing is hidden from His presence. They do not know that we right now are in God's presence. He knows my thoughts, He knows what I am going to say even before I say it. And God is alive. Jesus Christ is God. God manifested Himself in Jesus Christ. He is the Living God and he is ever present. He is right here with me and He is with you. He knows our thoughts, He knows everything about us. Because of ignorance, we do not realize that we can reach out to Him. We can tune in to Him. God is Spirit and His Spirit is ever present around us. We can ask Him for wisdom, for guidance. We must watch our steps and make sure that we live in such a way that we are pleasing to God because He does not tolerate sin and sinners will perish. If we keep on ignoring God. If we keep on living as though he does not exist, then we will perish. People do not realize that without Jesus Christ we can do nothing, we cannot even breathe. God gives us life so that we can live that life in His presence to please Him. But if we keep on ignoring Him, avoiding Him, then in the end when this body dies then we will also spend eternity away from Him because we chose to ignore Him.

We can choose today to make ourselves aware of Him, to seek Him. If we draw closer to Him He draws closer to us. If we seek Him He reveals Himself to us and we get to know Him. That is why Jesus will say to many people ion that day:”Go away I never knew you, you workers of wickedness,” because people carried on in wickedness. Many were ignorant, other just ignored God and they lived their life their way not knowing that without Jesus, without God they have no future.

Is Jesus Christ your future. Do you know Him, do you practice awareness of Jesus Christ every moment? Or are you living your life to please yourself and are you heading for eternal damnation?

Make yourself AWARE of Jesus Christ every moment. Make yourself aware of Jesus Christ. Tune in to Him. Let your spirit unite with His Spirit. Seek Him and you will find Him and He will reveal Himself to you and you will get to know Him for real. Become wise, do not be ignorant and perish for eternity.

May Jesus bless you.

ONE with God

God created all things and all of His creation is in harmony with Him, that is, all things apart from man. God made man in His own image and He gave him the right and ability of self-determination. We can decide whether we want to be in harmony with God or whether we want to reject Him. We are LIKE GOD.

Sin and selfishness separates us from God. If we turn away from sin, deny our selfish desires and submit to God, obey Jesus Christ, accept Him as our Lord and Master, He brings us into HARMONY WITH GOD and like the rest of His creation around us we come into harmony with Him and we DO THE WILL OF GOD.

If we do not come into harmony with God, if we do not obey Him and do His will we will perish. The wages of sin is death. If we accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Master and we serve Him He gives us OF HIS SPIRIT, we become ONE SPIRIT WITH GOD, immortal for ever in harmony with God. Are you ONE WITH GOD or are you selfishly seeking your own desires and will you perish in eternal damnation because you reject your Creator?

May Jesus bless you.
