True believers DESIRE to SERVE Jesus



True followers of Jesus Christ who are really born again, have a desire to serve Him. Jesus Christ is always on their mind. They talk about Him, they testify about Him they tell others about Jesus. They don't talk about their church or their pastor or some Bible scriptures that amaze them, they TALK ABOUT JESUS because they KNOW Him and they LIVE WITH HIM every day. They have a desire to be pleasing to Jesus, He is always on their mind. They go after Him every day.
The things of the world are not interesting to them, they don't matter. All that matters to them is Jesus, hearing from Him, LISTENING to Him and FOLLOWING Him, DOING what is pleasing to Him, they DESIRE TO SERVE HIM as King and Lord and Master.
Do you have a DESIRE TO FOLLOW Jesus Christ? Are you really BORN AGAIN? Are you a CHILD OF GOD? Do you have a NEW NATURE, a godly nature? Or are you just still a common sinner who pretends to be a Christian? If you really KNOW and love Jesus He will be on your mind all the time and you will always be at your Father's business, doing the will of God.

May Jesus bless you.

No Desire



If we are not driven by a desire to follow and obey Jesus and be pleasing to Him, to serve Him, and to do those things which He requires of us, then our faith is empty and void, it is in vain. If we just go through the motions, do what is good and hope to escape hell by doing the minimum, then we will certainly end up in hell.
Jesus does not want a LAME OFFERING. If we have no desire after Him, Himself, then we do not belong to Him. If we have no desire to pray, to LISTEN to Him, to HEAR from Him, then our relationship with Him is a lie. If our relationship with Jesus is not REAL and BURNING inside of us, if we are not willing to give up everything and go after Jesus, do that which He requires of us then our faith is in vain, then we will not have eternal life. If Jesus Christ is not our LIFE then we have no life!
If we only have a desire to read about Jesus, read the Bible, be with other “Christians,” fellowship, then we are not going after Jesus, we are going after our own desires. If we do not DESIRE Jesus with all our heart, go after Him every day, then we cannot be pleasing to Him.
Those who are led by the Spirit of God, they are the the sons of God. Is Jesus Christ your desire? Or are you going after other things? What is more important in your life, Jesus, or your own desires, other things? Being accepted by this world? Making money? What is your desire?

If we seek Him, we find Him. If we WAIT ON HIM He will reveal Himself to us. Is Jesus Christ your desire? May Jesus bless you.

Selfish Fellowship


People go after fellowship with other people, with other Christians all because of selfish reasons. It is all about THEM. They don't want to be lonely, they want to be affiliated, they want to be accepted. People want Jesus for what they can get out of Him not for the sake of being with Jesus Himself and that is why they look for the company of other people.
If we love Jesus and we want to spend eternity with Him we will already do s RIGHT NOW. We will constantly make ourselves aware of Him and His presence. We will treasure HIS FELLOWSHIP. Where our treasure is there our heart will be also .
Is our heart WITH Jesus and with being pleasing to Him or do we seek the approval, acceptance and fellowship of other people?

May Jesus bless you.

Seek the will of God

There is a road that seams right to man but the end of that road is destruction. That is why we need to SEEK THE WILL OF GOD. Jesus commanded us to SEEK FIRST THE KINGDOM OF GOD and His righteousness and then all the other things WILL BE ADDED UNTO US. He taught us to pray:”Thy kingdom, THY come will be done...” It is only when we seek the will of God that we have REAL LIFE but we must first walk in righteousness and in holiness.
The prophet Micah wrote in Micah 6:8:”He has shown you o man what is good and what does the Lord require of you but to DO justly and to LOVE MERCY and to WALK HUMBLY WITH THY GOD.” We first have to seek righteousness and holiness and then we can walk in the presence of God, then we can seek the will of God.
Are you seeking the will of God or are on the road that leads to destruction?

May Jesus bless you.

Drawn and Compelled by LOVE

If we are truly born again and we love Jesus Christ then we GO AFTER HIM with all our power. Our mind is constantly focused on Him. We seek to be pleasing to Him, we seek Him in prayer, our mind is fixed on Him and His Spirit permeates us, and His Spirit that indwells us prompts us, compels us to DO that which is pleasing to Him.
He does not force us but we SEEK to be pleasing to Him. We seek to be righteous and holy according to His standard because we want to be pleasing to Him. Without Jesus we can do nothing, If we are not constantly driven, compelled by a desire to please Jesus Christ in everything that we do then we are driven by selfish desires. Without Jesus we can do nothing, we have to be PROMPTED, COMPELLED by our love for Him. Our focus must always be on Him, then nothing will be impossible, then doing His will becomes our pleasure and His Spirit that fills us, that indwells us, ENABLES us to do that which is pleasing to Him.
Are you led by the Spirit of Christ because you are focused on Him all the time? Do you truly want to be pleasing to Jesus? Is He really your Lord and Master? Do you love Him that much that you always want to be pleasing to Him? If not, then you do not really love Jesus, then you are not really born again. Without Jesus we can do nothing, it is all about Him and being pleasing to Him.

May Jesus bless you.

You can do it

You can do everything that Jesus requires of us. You can stop sinning, you can live holy. You can do everything that Jesus said that we must do IF YOU WANT TO, because He gives us the power to do it. You cannot do it on your own but you can do it with the power that Jesus gives you. BUT you need to WANT TO, without Jesus we can do nothing. But if we don't want to, Jesus will not force us. If we WANT TO stop sinning, if we WANT TO live godly, if we WANT TO be pleasing to Jesus He will give us all the help in the world, NOTHING WILL BE IMPOSSIBLE for us, because Jesus is with us. The only problem is that people don't WANT TO obey Jesus. We will have no excuse, the problem lies with us. If you really want to you can be pleasing to God. May Jesus bless you.
