Light drives out darkness


Light drives out darkness. If we have a problem with mean people and bad people around us then it is because we do not have light in us. If the light of Christ is shining in us then the darkness in this world will not overcome us but we will overcome by the light of Christ that dwells in us.
I recall when we moved into an apartment in Baltimore some years ago. We were living in mean street amongst mean people. But then when the Lord called us we started testifying and shining our light. We had a problem with mean neighbors but when we started testifying then the devil started running. The bad neighbors moved out and when I came out of the door then suddenly the street cleared.
Dear friend, if the light of Christ is in us then the darkness will not overwhelmed us. How much light do we have in us?
May Jesus bless you.

Busy Believers


Many believers are very busy people but unfortunately they are unfruitful because they are busy with the wrong things. Instead of following Jesus and doing what is pleasing to Him they are busy with unfruitful things; they are judging other people, they are criticizing, they are meddlers, they are gossips, slanderers, they are so busy living their life and doing what they want to do that they don't have time to follow Jesus. They don't have time to pray, they don't have time to listen to Jesus, they don't have time to spend with Jesus and that is why they will be extremely disappointed in the judgment day when Jesus says to them:”Go away I never knew you.” They never had time to serve the King. They were too busy following their own mind and doing things their own way.
Jesus said:”Without Me, you can do nothing.”
We need to closely follow Jesus to be pleasing to Him.
May Jesus bless you.

OBEY Jesus or you will PERISH


The world is full of churches and religious people who BELIEVE that because they adhere to the teachings of their CHURCH and they belong to a church that they have eternal life, but they do not OBEY JESUS. If we do not obey Jesus, we will not see life and we do not have life. As Jesus also said, I read from Mark 7:6,7 “And He said to them, “Rightly did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written: ‘THIS PEOPLE HONORS ME WITH THEIR LIPS, BUT THEIR HEART IS FAR AWAY FROM ME. 7‘BUT IN VAIN DO THEY WORSHIP ME, TEACHING AS DOCTRINES THE PRECEPTS OF MEN.’
Believing like your grandfather did and like your father did, cannot save you. It is the Words of Jesus that will save us if we OBEY them. The Gospel that saves is the Words of Jesus. Jesus said: I read from Luke 6:46 “Why do you call Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and DO NOT WHAT I SAY? Many people hold on to the doctrines of their church and onto what THEY BELIEVE, the way that THEY READ THE BIBLE but they DO NOT OBEY JESUS. Many people refuse to be BAPTIZED IN WATER. Jesus will NOT EXCUSE ANY DISOBEDINECE. Jesus also said: I read from Mark 16:15,16 “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. 16 “He who has believed and HAS BEEN BAPTIZED shall be saved; but he who has disbelieved shall be condemned.” You need to be baptized AFTER you have BELIEVED and REPENTED in OBEDIENCE TO JESUS CHRIST or else that baptism is of no value. We need to OBEY JESUS utterly if we want to enter into the Kingdom of Heaven. There will be NO EXCEPTION. We will be judged by the WORDS OF JESUS. As He also said: and I read from John 12:47-50 “If anyone hears My sayings and does not keep them, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world, but to save the world. 48 “He who rejects Me and does not receive My sayings, has one who judges him; the word I spoke is what will judge him at the last day. 49 “For I did not speak on My own initiative, but the Father Himself who sent Me has given Me a commandment as to what to say and what to speak. 50 “I know that His commandment is eternal life; therefore the things I speak, I speak just as the Father has told Me.” The Words of JESUS are the Words of Life, no other words. They are eternal life for those who OBEY them. Those who DISOBEY the Words of Jesus will not have life.
If we want eternal life, if we want to enter the Kingdom of Heaven we must UTTERLY OBEY THE WORDS OF JESUS. The Words of Jesus were recorded in the Gospels, Matthew, Mark Luke and John. Those are the Words of Life, and those are the Words by which we will be judged. DO NOT DISREGARD the WORDS OF JESUS. You will regret it for eternity. OBEY JESUS and LIVE. He is the Way and the Truth and the Life. His Words are eternal life for those who OBEY them and those who DISREGARD them will perish.
May Jesus bless you.

Jesus is calling YOU


Jesus is calling you to be a child of God, to be part of the Kingdom of God and to have eternal life. He is not calling you to be a church member or to be a member of some group or clan. NO! He is calling you unto life, eternal life.
But you can only have eternal life if you are born again, born again of the Spirit of God and only Jesus can give you that new birth that you are new inside. He can make you a child of God, if you follow Him, if you repent, turn away from serving yourself and sin, and you turn to Jesus and you accept Him as your Lord, your King your Master. He will give you the new birth. He will make you a child of God. He will forgive your past sins and give you a new clean slate, a new beginning. You must be baptized in water for the washing off of your sins and then He will give you the baptism in the Holy Spirit, which is the first fruit of the inheritance of the children of God. He will give you His seal, like an engagement ring the prove that He has accepted you. He will baptize you in the Holy Spirit and give you a new tongue by which you can speak to God the Father, that is your proof, the first fruits of your inheritance as a child of God and then, if you follow Him, He will baptize you with FIRE, He will TEST you and TRY you, He will CLEANSE you, He will TEACH you OBEDIENCE and if you ENDURE you will become a servant of the Kingdom of God, constantly led by the Holy Spirit that lives in you. You will be able to hear God and do what He tells you to do.
 If you endure until the very end of your life then you will have the prize of eternal life. You will never die. When you leave this body you will move on into the Kingdom of God but that is only IF you FOLLOW JESUS and you ENDURE UNTIL THE VERY END.
The choice is yours, whether you want to carry on and live your life, do what pleases you and in the end you perish, or you can make up your mind to turn around, to turn to Jesus and follow Him until the very end. The decision is yours, you have to decide whether you want to follow Jesus. It is not going to be easy but if you endure until the end, you will have eternal life.
If you have made up your mind that you want to follow Jesus, then you need to go on your knees and cry out to Him, ask Him to accept you as a child of God to make you new, to give you the new birth. He will forgive your past sins and He will give you a new beginning. He will give you peace and joy like you have never experienced in your life. You need to pray, keep on praying UNTIL the light breaks through, UNTIL you KNOW that Jesus has come into your life, you will be changed in a MOMENT and THEN? You must OBEY HIM. REPENT of everything that is wrong and live your life to please Him. Be baptized in water. Your relationship with Jesus starts on your knees, praying and that is how your relationship will be forever, PRAYING. It is a communication with Him, constantly. He will reveal Himself to you if you are serious with Him. He will guide you, He will teach you. It won’t be easy, but if you endure until the end, you will have eternal life. You will know Jesus, you will be approved us a child of God. You will be proven to be worthy to enter the Kingdom of Heaven, because you have walked the walk with Jesus.
Do you want to carry on as you are or do you want to follow Jesus? You want to keep on wasting your life or do you want to have hope and purpose, following Jesus. It is up to you, to make up your mind whether you want eternal life, whether you want to follow Jesus?  Don’t wait to long, the door might close on you. We don’t know how long we will live or when we will die, it could be today. Don’t wait to long.
I want to sing you a song and I pray that it touches your heart.
Wasted years, wasted years, oh how foolish.
As I walk down the pathway of life.
Turn around, turn around, the Lord is calling.
He’s calling you from a life of wasted years.
Wasted years, wasted years, oh how foolish.
As I walk down the pathway of life.
Turn around, turn around, the Lord is calling,
He’s calling you from a life of wasted years.

Don’t wait to long.
May Jesus bless you.

Who are you working for?


Many people will confess to believe in Jesus but very few will obey Jesus and will serve Him as Lord and Master. Very few will work for Him. Jesus said that you must be born again to enter the kingdom of heaven. If you are born again then you find the King, the Lord and you serve Him.
Jesus said:”Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all the other things will be added unto you.” People will believe in Jesus but they will not get into that close relationship with Him where they are led by the Spirit of God, by the Spirit of Christ that dwells in them. So who are they serving? Who are they working for? They are working for the things of this world. They are working for recognition. They are working for themselves, some are working for the devil, they are busy with evil works. But God will reward each one of us according to our deeds. We are called to work for the kingdom of God as servants of His kingdom.
If we sin we are a slave of sin. If we please ourselves then Jesus is not our Lord, we are not working for the kingdom of God, we are not part of His Kingdom. The question we need to ask ourselves is: “Who am I working for?” For myself, for gain for myself, recognition? Who do I want to please? Many people will buy off their responsibility, they are willing to give 10% of their income to church or to God. They are willing to make donations but they are not willing to do what Jesus tells them to do, they are not in that relationship. They are like a rich parent who gives his child money just to get rid of him so that he himself can go on with his life. A lot of people think that they can buy off God in the same way. You cannot buy off Jesus. Either Jesus is Lord of your life and you are a servant of the kingdom of God or you do not belong to Him and you have no place in His Kingdom, you don't have salvation.
It is about serving Jesus as Lord and as Master. Who are we serving? Are you serving Jesus or are you serving yourself?
May Jesus bless you.

From Within - Not Religion but REALITY


There is nothing that compares with knowing Jesus for real, that Jesus LIVES in your heart and you know Him as your King, your Lord and your Master, and you serve Him because YOU WANT TO. That is why I am here, because Jesus came into my life and He changed me. He made me a new man, He even gave me a new name. He spoke to me one night, He said to me:”I have given you a new name.” I said:”Lord, what is this name?” He said:”Justice.” I couldn't believe it. The person that I was “Jan” is not a person that I am proud of, He was a wicked and a crooked person, but I was born again.
Jesus made me new, I am a new man, I am in Christ. He has put His Spirit in me and He has given me hope. It is not about me, it is about JESUS who lives in me and I am so glad that I can give Him glory and honor.
I have got a song in my heart because I know the King of kings and the Lord of lords and I KNOW that He is pleased with me because I am walking in His ways. I have turned away from the person that I was, I am born again. That person died when I was born a gain and I am a new man in Christ, I am here to do His will and I am here to testify to the glory of Jesus. I have got His joy in my heart and I want to sing a few songs for you today to lift you up and to give you a taste of the joy that Jesus Christ gives to those who seek Him. May Jesus bless you as you listen to this song.

There's a new name written down in glory,
And it's mine, oh yes it's mine
And the white robed angels tell the story
A sinner, has come home!
There's a new name written down in glory,
And it's mine, oh yes it's mine,
With my sins forgiven I am bound for heaven,
Never more to roam.

There's a new name written down in glory,
And it's mine, oh yes it's mine
And the white robed angels tell the story
A sinner, has come home!
There's a new name written down in glory,
And it's mine, oh yes it's mine,
With my sins forgiven I am bound for heaven,
Never more to roam.

I want to stay with Jesus until the every, very end.

He lives, He lives!
Christ Jesus lives today.
He walks with me and He talks with me
Along life's narrow way.
He lives, He lives,
Salvation to impart!
You ask me how I know He lives.
He lives within my heart!

He lives, He lives!
Christ Jesus lives today.
He walks with me and He talks with me
Along life's narrow way.
He lives, He lives,
Salvation to impart!
You ask me how I know He lives.
He lives within my heart!

May Jesus bless you.

This is the Judgment


Jesus Christ is the Way and the Truth and the Life and He Himself came and showed us the Way to eternal life. He gave us the Words of Life, so that if we OBEY HIS WORDS we will have eternal life. Jesus came and preached the Gospel of the Kingdom, the Gospel of Eternal Life. And if we obey Him, we will have eternal life but if we disobey Him, then we will be judged and this is the judgment, the Words of Jesus in John 3:19 “This is the judgment, that the Light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the Light, for their DEEDS were evil.20“For everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come to the Light for fear that his DEEDS will be exposed. 21“But he who practices the truth comes to the Light, so that his deeds may be manifested as having been wrought in God.”  
Jesus is the Light of the world and His Words are the Words of life. The judgment is if we disregard those words, if we disobey Jesus and we disregard Him. Then we are already judged. If we want to have eternal life we must OBEY THE WORDS OF JESUS. Many believers do not understand that, they quote the Bible, the Scriptures and they seek eternal life in the Scriptures but eternal life is in OBEDIENCE TO the WORDS OF JESUS and those Words are recorded in the Gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John by those people, who were the eyewitnesses, who heard what Jesus said and who saw what He did. We will be judged by those Words of Jesus, by nothing else. Jesus said in John 12:47 “If anyone hears My sayings and does not keep them, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world, but to save the world. 48“He who rejects Me and does not receive My sayings, has one who judges him; THE WORD I SPOKE IS WHAT WILL JUDGE HIM AT THE LAST DAY.” That is the judgment and on top of that, He has written His laws in our heart because Jesus said: Do onto others as you wish that they would do onto you. 
Nobody will have any excuse in the judgment day. We need to take heed to the Words of Jesus if we want eternal life or else we are already judged. Jesus IS the Light of the world. We need to come to Him and obey His Words to have eternal life.
May Jesus bless you.
