The Binding Factor

The true sheep of the Lord Jesus Christ are a small flock that is scattered all over the world but they are all united because they are all of ONE SPIRIT. They LISTEN to Jesus Himself, they are led by the Holy Spirit and they seek to please Jesus. What binds them together is the SPIRIT that He has given in them. They follow Him wherever He goes, wherever He guides them, wherever He sends them and they DO what He tells them to do.

There are other sheep that have been stolen by organizations, churches, and they have become loyal you these organizations. They listen to people, they follow after hirelings and they do not serve Jesus, they serve all these divided “churches,” organizations that are divided against each other, divided against the Kingdom of God, they have NO RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS CHRIST HIMSELF. They do not know Him. They are of different spirits, they have religious spirits, Catholic spirit, Calvinist spirit, Baptist spirits, denominational spirits, but they DO NOT HAVE THE HOLY SPIRIT and that is why they are not part of the flock of the Master, they do not belong to Him! They belong to a “church.” If you ask them about their faith they say they are a Catholic, a Presbyterian... and they want to know which little flock you belong to.

Do you belong to one of these flocks of men or do you belong to Jesus? Which spirit do you follow? What is the binding factor, what holds you onto the Body of Christ? Do you have the SPIRIT OF CHRIST or are you led by various doctrines and are you attached to people? Are you part of a group or are you part of the Kingdom of God? Do you LISTEN to your Shepherd, Jesus Christ and follow Him only or have you bound yourself to some organization? Are you bound to Jesus or to people?

Which spirit rules your life? The Holy Spirit, your own spirit or some religious spirit? Are you following Jesus Christ? Are you bound to HIM? Is He your Lord and Master? Do you belong to HIS FLOCK?

May Jesus Bless you.

Confused Christians

So many professing Christians are confused and deceived. They believe that they have salvation, their faith is based on what others say. Their faith is based on the Bible but very few of them have a real living relationship with Jesus Christ. If you take their Bibles away from them their whole faith falls to pieces. It is because they have never met Jesus Christ. They do not know Him, they do not have the Holy Spirit.

They just believe that they are saved based on some scriptures, and they will quote you those scriptures. Many believe they are saved by grace and they don't need to do anything, they must just believe in Jesus. That is a lie! If you believe in Jesus after you heard the gospel, YOU WILL OBEY HIM, you will REPENT FROM SIN and you will be BAPTIZED IN WATER. You will OBEY THE WORDS OF JESUS and He will REVEAL HIMSELF TOP YOU. He will give His Holy Spirit in you so that you can FOLLOW Him, LISTEN to Him and be in a close relationship with Him every moment. If you do not have that relationship with Jesus, that you KNOW HIM, that you are always WITH HIM, then you are just confused and deceived.

Many people run to the Bible and to preachers for answers, yet they call themselves Christians. If you follow Jesus then you get all your answers from Him. If you know Jesus then He is your sole source of supply. You don't need anything but Jesus Christ. The reason why so many professing Christians are confused, uncertain, is because they are not following Jesus Christ, THEY DON'T KNOW HIM! They are in darkness!

OBEY the words of Jesus, TURN AWAY FROM SIN, BE BAPTIZED IN WATER, and He will reveal Himself to you. Seek Him and you will find Him. Draw closer to Him and He will draw closer to you! Stay with Him and He will guide you, if you turn your back on Him YOU ARE LOST! We need to STAY WITH JESUS UNTIL THE VERY END. It is all about our personal relationship with Jesus Christ the LIVING GOD. He is the WAY the TRUTH and THE LIFE! Without Him we can do nothing. Without Him we are lost. We need to stay WITH JESUS until the very end.

It is not about being with other Christians, it is about being with Jesus Christ Himself on the lonely road that leads to eternal life. Follow Jesus and you will have LIFE. Follow Jesus and you will KNOW THE WAY because He Himself IS the WAY.

May Jesus bless you.

Keep yourself UNSTAINED

Without holiness no man shall see God and that is why sinners have no relationship with God, they have no communion with Him. If we come to Jesus with a serious heart and we repent of our sins then He forgives us and He cleanses us of all unrighteousness. If we are then baptized in water our sins are washed away and we must remain pure and holy like He is holy IF we want to have communion, relationship with Him.

The reason why most Christians have no relationship, no communion with Jesus, is because they are sinners. Sin separates us from God. Those who are pure in heart, they will see God, they will HEAR Him, they will live in communion with Him and they will get to KNOW Jesus Christ. Most Christians live in sin, they don't care for sin. They think that because they believe in Jesus and because they can quote some Bible verses and because they had some experience with Jesus some time ago that they are saved, they are NOT! They are in darkness because they are not walking with Jesus. They do not HEAR from Him, they do not LISTEN to Him, they do not FOLLOW Him, they are LOST!

We have to be holy like He who called us is holy. Without holiness no man shall see God. We can only come into the presence of God if we are pure and holy. We need to keep ourselves UNSTAINED FROM THE WORLD, from worldly influences. Don't watch TV! Don't participate in the same talk! Don't get involved in the same things. Keep yourself PURE AND HOLY and RESERVE YOURSELF UNTO JESUS and HE WILL REVEAL HIMSELF TO YOU.

Cleanse yourself of all unrighteousness, unholiness, be pure and holy, REPENT! Be baptized in water and keep yourself clean UNSTAINED FROM THE WORLD, reserved unto Jesus, and He will reveal Himself to you. God has NO RELATIONSHIP WITH SINNING CHRISTIANS. Be pure and holy and you will walk with God.

May Jesus bless you.

Most Christians are NOT SERIOUS

Most Christians are not serious about Jesus Christ, they just want cheap insurance. They want to go to heaven they don't want to go to hell but they are not interested in Jesus Christ or in His words. They are opinionated, self-righteous, self-sufficient and only concerned about themselves, their salvation, their church, their Bible, their life, they want God to do everything for them in their way and at their time. They are not interested in serving Jesus Christ and therefor they do not follow Him and they do not get to know Him and they will spend eternity in hell, because we follow Jesus Christ on His terms.

Jesus said that whoever wishes to come after Me must deny pick up his cross daily and come here follow Me. We have to take the words of Jesus SERIOUSLY, turn away from sin, turn away from our own ways, sacrifice our own desires and go after Him every step of the way, be holy, be righteous, be led by the Holy Spirit. Seek Him always!

Many Christians pray and they do not get and answer and it does not bother them. If you are not serious about Jesus Christ He will also not be serious about YOU. If you are lukewarm He will VOMIT you out of His mouth. Jesus Christ does not accept half measures, we have to BE SERIOUS and follow Him ALL THE WAY. We HAVE TO GIVE EVERYTHING even our lives if necessary IF we want eternal life. There is no CHEAP SALVATION.

THOSE WHO ARE NOT SERIOUS ABOUT JESUS CHRIST WILL PERISH IN HELL!

If you are not serious He will not answer your prayers. He who goes to God must believe that He IS and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him. If you go to Jesus with halfheartedness you will receive nothing! The door will be closed and He will say to you:”Go away I never knew you.” If you are not serious about Jesus, if you do not SEEK Him and do not go after Him you will never get to know Him. If you draw closer to Him He will draw closer to you, but if you are not serious about Him He will turn you away.

Do not fool yourself and think that you can go on like the rest of the world, like the other Christians and that you will end up in heaven, you will end up in HELL because if you are not SERIOUS about Jesus, you will spend eternity away from Him in hell.

May Jesus bless you.

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.

Be LED by the Spirit

What is it that sets us apart from the rest and makes us CHILDREN OF GOD? Jesus said:”My sheep LISTEN to My VOICE and they FOLLOW Me.” It is not about being religious or reading your Bible or belonging to a church, it is about LISTENING to the VOICE of Jesus and FOLLOWING Him, being one of His sheep, being LED by His SPIRIT.

Jesus Christ gives His Holy Spirit in those who turn away from sin and from their own desires and who OBEY Him, who REPENT and who are baptized in water and who SEEK TO HEAR HIS VOICE, who SEEK to be LED by His SPIRIT, they are His sheep. They are the ones who follow Him, who OBEY Him and who DO His WILL. Those who are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. If we do not have the Spirit of Christ and are not LED by His Spirit then we do not belong to Him.

Seek Jesus with all your heart, OBEY Him, go after Him and He will give His Spirit in you. Then tune in to Him, LISTEN and FOLLOW Him and your soul will live. Be LED by the Holy Spirit and then only can we do the will of God and be pleasing to Jesus.

May Jesus bless you.

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.
