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.

LISTEN to Jesus

A child of God LISTENS to God. Jesus Christ IS God. Jesus said:”My sheep LISTEN to MY VOICE and they FOLLOW ME. They will not listen to strangers but they will run away from strangers.” Jesus Christ is ALIVE and those who believe in Him and who have come to KNOW HIM, LISTEN to Him and they FOLLOW Him. He puts His Spirit in them and they HEAR Him.

Those who are led by the Spirit of God THEY are the SONS OF GOD. Children of God LISTEN TO GOD, they DO HIS WILL. They DO what is pleasing to HIM, they FOLLOW Jesus step by step. They do not listen to preachers and to other people, the do not read books and watch television shows (for guidance), their focus is on Jesus. They do not even need to read the Bible because they LISTEN to Jesus. They are SHEEP of the MASTER and they follow Him. They DO His will.

Do you LISTEN to Jesus? Are you one of His sheep? Or are you astray? Who do you LISTEN to? If you are truly a child of God you will be LISTENING to HIM and you will be FOLLOWING HIM, DOING His will. Are you LISTENING to Jesus?

May Jesus bless you.

Bible Bent Busy Bodies

Jesus is not impressed with our Bible knowledge nor with our ability to quote the scriptures chapter and verse. What matters to Him is that we spend time with Him. We read in Luke 10 about Martha and Mary, two sisters. Jesus came to their house and Mary sat at the feet of Jesus, LISTENING to Him. Martha came to Jesus and said:”Lord, why don't you tell Mary to come and help me with the preparations?” And Jesus said to he:”Martha, Martha, you are concerned about many things but Mary has chosen the best,” and that is to sit at the feet of Jesus.

Many people are concerned about running around, working for God, evangelizing. Jesus said about some of these people:”You go over land and sea to make one proselyte and when you have found him you make him twice as ripe for hell as you are yourselves.”

What matters to Jesus is not our Bible knowledge or how busy we are FOR Him but whether we spend time WITH Him, whether we LISTEN to Him, whether we treasure Him and DO what is pleasing to Him. Do you spend time with Jesus or are you TOO BUSY with other things?

May Jesus bless you.

God is NEAR

God is NEAR, He is not nearer or closer to some people than to others. God is with us by His Spirit. The Holy Spirit convicts ALL MEN ALL THE TIME of SIN, RIGHTEOUSNESS and JUDGMENT but very few care to LISTEN.

Most people ignore God and that is why they perish. They live in sin and that is why they are separated from God. They refuse to LISTEN to the voice of God, the Holy Spirit, speaking IN THEM all the time. If you LISTEN your soul will LIVE. If you hearken, take notice, tune in to that voice of the Holy Spirit speaking IN YOU all the time, then YOU WILL LIVE.

Humble yourself before Jesus Christ, go on your knees right where you are and plead Him forgiveness for your sin and STOP SINNING! Then you will hear His voice more clearly. LISTEN when He speaks to you and you will LIVE. Be holy, be righteous, obey Him and you will LIVE IN HIS PRESENCE, you will be NEAR TO GOD as He is NEAR TO YOU.

Are you NEAR TO GOD as He is near to you or do you ignore Him and continue in selfishness and in sin. If you keep on resisting, ignoring and rejecting God you will perish and be separated from Him for eternity. Are you living CLOSE TO GOD?

May Jesus bless you.

Feeding off pulpit junk and religious trash

Most of the world's professing Christians are feeding off the junk that is preached off the pulpits of the the churches of this world. They are listening to the trash that is broadcasted off the channels of the so called Christian broadcasters and preachers. They are reading little books and watching videos. They are not receiving spiritual FOOD from God Himself because “man will not live from bread alone but from every word that proceeds from the MOUTH of God.”

These professing Christians are UNREGENERATED UN-BORN AGAIN SINNERS, they have NO RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD, they do not have an EAR FOR GOD, they do not hear His VOICE. They do not follow Him, they are not SONS OF GOD and they are not SHEEP OF THE MASTER. They are just deceived religious FOOLS. They are fooling themselves and they are being fooled by the operators in the pulpits. They listen to RELIGIOUS CATCH PHRASES AND PSYCHOLOGICAL JUNK that tickles their ears and makes them feel good while they themselves have no relationship with God and THEY ARE SPIRITUALLY DEAD.

If you are not HEARING FROM GOD HIMSELF, if you DO NOT HAVE THE SPIRIT OF CHRIST in you, then you are SPIRITUALLY DEAD and religious. If you do not receive BREAD, MANNA from heaven every day, you do not HEAR from God Himself YOU HAVE NO RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM, you are not following Jesus, you are listening to JUNK. You are being fed TRASH, you pay for it and you enjoy it and you are going to hell because you have no relationship with Jesus Christ and God the Father!

Do you LISTEN to the Holy Spirit? Are you following Jesus Christ? Do you have a relationship with God or are you feeding on RELIGIOUS GARBAGE? In the end YOU will be the loser. You need to REPENT! Seek Jesus with all your heart, OBEY Him, be baptized in water, live righteously and holy, seek Him always, follow Him every day and He will reveal Himself to you EVERY DAY. You will HEAR HIS VOICE and you will LIVE IN THE PRESENCE OF THE LIVING GOD. WAKE UP BEFORE YOU PERISH!

May Jesus bless you.

Those who DO NOT HEAR

Jesus said:”My sheep LISTEN to My voice and they follow Me. They will not listen to strangers because they do not know the voice of the strangers. They will run away from them.”(John 10) Many people believe that they are saved but they DO NOT KNOW THE VOICE OF JESUS. They have never met Jesus! They just believe they are saved based on what other people told them but they have no relationship with Jesus Christ. They don't know Him and that is why he will say to many who believed they were saved:”Go away I never knew you, you workers of wickedness.”

YOU CANNOT FOLLOW JESUS IF YOU DO NOT KNOW HIS VOICE, then you are not His sheep! You cannot follow Him if you have not received His Spirit. You need to KNOW Jesus. You KNOW HIS VOICE!

Many people say to me: How do you distinguish between the Holy Spirit and evil spirits? They DON'T KNOW Jesus! If you have met Him YOU WILL KNOW HIS VOICE! After Jesus appeared to the apostle Paul on the Damascus road Paul followed Him, He KNEW Him, He KNEW HIS VOICE, HE NEVER DOUBTED AGAIN after that. He went on to die for Jesus. He KNEW His VOICE. The gospel that he preached he did not receive from other people, he got it from Jesus in revelation. He LISTENED TO JESUS! He was led by the Holy Spirit. If we do not know His voice we cannot follow Him and we are not HIS.

You can read your Bible as much as you like. You can listen to all the little tapes and videos and read all the books that other people write but IF YOU DO NOT KNOW THE VOICE OF JESUS THEN YOU DO NOT KNOW HIM, and YOU ARE LOST!

Have you met Jesus Christ? Do you know His voice? If you don't, GO ON YOUR KNEES! PRAY! SEEK HIM until He reveals Himself to you and then YOU WILL KNOW HIS VOICE. You will not doubt any more. Once you know His voice, you can follow Him and then you know the One in whom you have believed.

Do YOU know HIS VOICE and do you FOLLOW and OBEY Him, every day? Are you REALLY one of His sheep?

May Jesus bless you.

Don't LISTEN to him he will destroy you

The whole world is in the power of the evil one, the devil, because they LISTEN to him and they OBEY him. The devil is a liar and a thief from the beginning and he wants to DESTROY you and USE you to destroy other people. He is very successful at that because people LISTEN to him and they OBEY him. If you want eternal life you have to LISTEN TO JESUS not to the devil. You have to OBEY JESUS, turn away from sin and unrighteousness, from following your own mind and listening to the devil. Be holy, be righteous, obey Jesus Christ, follow Him, be baptized in water and He will reveal Himself to you, He will speak to you, He will guide you but you will have to LISTEN TO HIM.

If you keep on listening to the devil, he will destroy you. The devil will try to deceive you in any possible way. He will send you lies, even symptoms, symptoms of pain in your body and then you believe the symptom and you run to the doctor and you end up in ICU or a hospital because they discover some “peculiar” sickness in you. They don't even know what they are talking about but they discover some virus, that is unknown, that is SATAN. You belief it, you take medication, and you get destroyed, you get killed because you believed the lie that satan presented to you. You believed the symptom, you didn't believe in Jesus Christ. The whole world is in FEAR, uncertainty, anxiety because they believe satan. If you want life, now and for eternity, listen to Jesus and obey Him. If you open the door to the devil he will destroy you and he will use you to destroy all those around you.

Are you in the power of satan because you listen to him and you obey him, you follow him. Or have you turned to Jesus? Do you obey Him and follow Him. Is He your keeper, your provider and your protector? Who are you listening to? To Jesus or to your enemy who is about to totally and utterly destroy you? Don't listen to him. Listen to Jesus and follow Him and you will LIVE, both NOW and for ETERNITY.

May Jesus bless you.

Will YOU follow?

Jesus Christ said:”My sheep LISTEN to MY VOICE and they follow ME.” If you follow after Jesus Christ you GO where and WHEN He guides you because you live to please Him. You don't go after your own ambitions, your own plans and your own desires because in everything you seek to be pleasing to Jesus. You live your life as a living sacrifice unto Him to DO His will because you live IN His kingdom.
His kingdom has come IN YOU. He sits on the throne of your heart. He is the CENTER of your life. You GO where He guides you. Many believers have never even stopped sinning and they DO NOT follow after Jesus. Jesus said:”Whoever WISHES to come after Me must DENY himself, pick up his cross daily and come here, follow Me.” Whoever goes after Jesus MUST abandon their own plans and DO what Jesus GUIDES them to do. They get their guidance and their wisdom from Him. He guides and they FOLLOW because they LISTEN to HIS VOICE and they FOLLOW HIM.
Do YOU listen to His voice and do YOU follow Him? Do you KNOW His voice and ARE YOU really one of His sheep?

May Jesus bless you.

God is speaking to YOU

God speaks to all of us, He has not abandoned us. He cares for is but we do not recognize His voice. God speaks in many ways. He speaks through sickness, through our circumstances, sometimes He speaks in a dream but people don't take notice.
Jesus said:”My sheep LISTEN to My voice and they follow Me.” If we follow Jesus Christ then we will recognize His voice . We will Be TUNED IN and LISTENING. Most people don't listen. They don't realize that God is speaking to them but we will have no excuse when we stand before Jesus in judgment day because He has been knocking at the door of our hearts, all of us.
He is calling us, seeking us to come closer to Him, to LISTEN to Him, to come into communion with Him but people don't want it. They seek their own desires, they don't seek God. If we seek Him, we find Him. If we draw closer to Him, HE DRAWS CLOSER TO US. Jesus has never left us nor abandoned us but sin separates us from God.
We need to REPENT, turn away from sin, obey Jesus, be baptized in water and seek Him for the infilling of His Holy Spirit so that we will EXPERIENCE HIS PRESENCE with us, every moment then we will HEAR Him all the time. But we need to SEEK HIM.
Are you seeking God? Are you seeking your guidance from Him or are you following your own desires and your own mind? Without Jesus we can do nothing. We need Jesus NOW and for eternity or we will perish. God is speaking to YOU. Are you LISTENING?

May Jesus bless you.

Is God speaking to YOU?

God made us and He cares for us. He speaks to all of us but we do not notice or we ignore Him. We read in Job 33:14 “For God speaketh once, yea twice, yet man perceiveth it not.

15In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falleth upon men, in slumberings upon the bed;
16Then He openeth the ears of men, and sealeth their instruction,
17That He may withdraw man from his purpose, and hide pride from man.
18He keepeth back his soul from the pit, and his life from perishing by the sword.
19He is chastened also with pain upon his bed, and the multitude of his bones with strong pain:
20So that his life abhorreth bread, and his soul dainty meat.
21His flesh is consumed away, that it cannot be seen; and his bones that were not seen stick out.
22Yea, his soul draweth near unto the grave, and his life to the destroyers.
23If there be a messenger with him, an interpreter, one among a thousand, to shew unto man his uprightness:
24Then He is gracious unto him, and saith, Deliver him from going down to the pit: I have found a ransom.
25His flesh shall be fresher than a child's: he shall return to the days of his youth:
26He shall pray unto God, and he will be favourable unto him: and he shall see his face with joy: for He will render unto man his righteousness.
27He looketh upon men, and if any say, I have sinned, and perverted that which was right, and it profited me not;
28He will deliver his soul from going into the pit, and his life shall see the light.
29Lo, all these things worketh God oftentimes with man,
30To bring back his soul from the pit, to be enlightened with the light of the living.”
God speaks to us through dreams, through sickness, through misfortune, God cares for us but people shrug it off. Those who are pure in heart will see God, they will see the hand of God in their lives, turning them from evil and drawing them unto Him, turning them from destruction and giving them instruction.
Do you perceive the hand of God in your life? Do you HEAR His voice? Do you LISTEN and OBEY? Nobody will have any excuse because God speaks to all of us.

May Jesus bless you.

What is Jesus saying to YOU?

What is Jesus saying to you today? Jesus said:”My sheep listen to My voice and they follow Me.” If we are His sheep we will HEAR Him, we will GO AFTER Him, we will FOLLOW Him.

The reason why people are not hearing His voice is because they are not His sheep, or some sheep are just not listening to Him. He says:”Draw closer to Me and I will draw closer to you.” If you seek Him, you find Him but if like most believers, you are not interested in hearing His voice, He will also say to you, like He will say to so many BUSY believers, He will say:”Go away I never knew you, you workers of wickedness.”

Have you spent time with Jesus TODAY? Are you LISTENING to Him, WAITING ON Him, SEEKING Him? Or are you not one of His sheep?

May Jesus bless you.

Living by faith

Jesus Christ is the way and the truth and the life. If we follow Him, He justifies us and He gives us eternal life, but we must BELIEVE in Him, we must KNOW Him and FOLLOW Him to be pleasing to Him. He justifies those who BELIEVE Him, who TRUST Him, who OBEY Him and FOLLOW 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.” We will only follow Jesus and OBEY Him IF we truly believe in Him. Many believers are just presumptuous, they are not following Jesus, they believe they are saved on the grounds of a few Bible verses, on what people have told them. They have no relationship with Jesus. We can only follow Jesus if we are in relationship with Him, if we hear His voice, if we pray and He answers us and He guides us. In Matthew 4:4 "It is written, 'MAN SHALL NOT LIVE ON BREAD ALONE, BUT ON EVERY WORD THAT PROCEEDS OUT OF THE MOUTH OF GOD.'" You have to HEAR from the Lord in order to BELIEVE and then ACT on it. The apostle Paul wrote in Romans 10:17 “ faith comes from HEARING, and hearing by the word of Christ.“ What is that hearing? It is when the Spirit of Christ speaks to you and guides you. If you are not hearing from the Lord then you have nothing to go on. You will live by faith, you will live by every word that proceeds from the MOUTH of God. The righteous will live by FAITH, by his dependance on Jesus. The apostle Paul also wrote in Romans 8:14 “For all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.” You are only a child of God if you are led by the Spirit of God, but if you are led by your mind and your opinion and what other people tell you then you are not following Jesus. You cannot be pleasing to Him and you are not justified. The apostle James wrote in James 1:5-8 “But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him. 6But he must ask in faith without any doubting, for the one who doubts is like the surf of the sea, driven and tossed by the wind. 7For that man ought not to expect that he will receive anything from the Lord, 8being a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.“ You will only follow Jesus IF you truly believe, if you truly trust in Him and you can only please Him, IF YOU TRUST HIM. The follower of Christ does nothing unless he gets his guidance from the Holy Spirit. He prays and he asks the Lord for guidance and then he ACTS on the guidance that he has received. If you do not intend DOING what the Lord tells you to do then it is useless to ask for His guidance because He will not give you His guidance and you will not follow His guidance, and then you are not in faith and you are not justified, you are rejected because the RIGHTEOUS WILL LIVE BY FAITH, by his relationship with Jesus and his STEADFAST TRUST in the Lord. The child of God gets his guidance FROM God. He is led by the Spirit of God. He LISTENS to the Spirit, He doesn't go anywhere else, he doesn't flip through the scriptures; he goes on his knees and he prays and God answers him and then he follows that guidance. Are you walking by faith? Do you know Jesus? Do you pray and wait for and answer? Because that is the only way that you can please Jesus. “The righteous will live by faith and if he withdraws My soul will have no pleasure in him.” We have to walk by faith to please God. 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.

Cause of Spiritual Death - Verbal Diarrhea

Diarrhea is one of the most common causes of death in developing countries and Verbal Diarrhea is one of the most common causes for spiritual death in believers. Most believers talk so much that they don't have time to listen to Jesus. They are so busy talking their own opinion, quoting scriptures, telling everybody what they think that they don't have time to pray and even when they pray they don't have time to LISTEN. They are not waiting on Jesus to talk to them. They talk until they are done and that is the end of their prayer. LISTEN AND YOUR SOUL WILL LIVE! But if you keep on talking and speaking your own mind, there is no way that you can listen.

Jesus said:”My sheep LISTEN to My voice and they FOLLOW Me.” Are you so busy talking that you don't have time to LISTEN to Jesus, because then you will not be able to FOLLOW Him.

May Jesus bless you.
