Discipleship TODAY Ep 4 Love EACH OTHER Not The World
Those who are truly born again and who love Jesus Christ have two things in common. The one is that they love one another, because they first love Jesus Christ. If we love Jesus Christ. and we are born of His Spirit, then we love one another. We love the others that also follow and obey Jesus Christ, those who belong to Him because we have that in common, that we love Jesus and we seek to please Him.
Jesus Christ said: John 13:35 "By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another."
People who belong to the same group love one another, they tolerate one another, they support one another because they are of the same group but they EXCLUDE others that are not of that "church" or of that group. If we have the love of Christ we do not exclude others, we love them with the love of Christ. But we do not go along with the things of the world. We do not participate in the pleasures of the world because we love Jesus Christ, we do NOT love the things of the world, because if we love the things of the world then we do not love Jesus Christ. If we love the things that worldly people do then we are of the world and not of Christ. The apostle John wrote in 1 John 2:15 "Do not love the world nor the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.16For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the boastful pride of life, is not from the Father, but is from the world. 17The world is passing away, and also its lusts; but the one who does the will of God lives forever.
18Children, it is the last hour; and just as you heard that antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have appeared; from this we know that it is the last hour. 19They went out from us, but they were not really of us; for if they had been of us, they would have remained with us; but they went out, so that it would be shown that they all are not of us."
If we follow Jesus Christ then the world will reject us, people will reject us. Jesus said that if we follow Him then we will be hated by all men, but His disciples will be known because they have love for one another even though the world hates them and rejects them.
Many people join up with those who follow Jesus Christ but very soon they find that they cannot fit in, they don't want to follow Jesus and they leave, they GO OUT. If you follow Jesus Christ you will find yourself lonely and alone most of the time because people will not like your company. If you treasure the company and the approval of Jesus Christ then the antichrist will hate you, the antichrist Christians, the fake Christians. There are many who profess to be Christians but they don't follow Jesus Christ and they cannot tolerate those who who do follow Him because they are not of His sheep. Many of them are very religious, they are church people, they are Bible students, they know their Bibles very well but they do not have the Spirit of Christ and they will reject you. They will "prove" from the scripture that you are not of Christ, exactly as the pharisees also "proved" from their scriptures that Jesus Christ was not the Christ, He was not Messiah. and they crucified Him. Exactly the same the false Christians are anti-Christ, they are pro-Bible and pro-church and pro-religion but they are anti-Christ . As long as you talk about your Bible and your church then they go along with you but as soon as you talk about Jesus Christ, following Him, hearing His voice, being led by the Holy Spirit, then they reject you, they persecute you, they avoid you and they go away from you and you find yourself ALONE again.
If you follow Jesus Christ and you love Him then you will find others who are true brothers and sisters, who have love for one another but you will be HATED and REJECTED by the worldly Christians who go along with the world, who love the world, who compete with the world and who love the things of the world. Those who truly love Jesus Christ are a special people, a Royal Priesthood who WALK WITH GOD, who are pure and holy, who hate sin and the world and the things of the world . They belong to the kingdom of God and they seek the approval of God, not the approval of men. are you of the kingdom of God? Do you love the true followers of Jesus Christ? Are you persecuted and rejected by the false Christians and do you NOT fit into this world? Are you of the kingdom of God?
May Jesus bless you.

Be willing to GO
If you HEAR the gospel of Jesus Christ
and you BELIEVE and you OBEY Him; you REPENT and you are BAPTIZED IN
WATER and you receive the BAPTISM IN THE HOLY SPIRIT, the Spirit of
Christ IN, you and you STAY WITH Jesus then there will come a day
when Jesus will CALL you, when He will say to you:”Follow Me.”
He will SEND you to someone or He will send you somewhere.

He will SEND you to someone or He will send you somewhere.
He will CALL you to SERVE. But if you
are not willing to OBEY Him, to FOLLOW Him, if you are not willing to
GO where He sends you, He will not force you but when you stand
before Him He will say to you:”You were not willing to follow Me.
You were not willing to serve Me. You could not bear the FRUIT that I
wanted you to bear.” We cannot please God if we do not bear FRUIT.
We cannot bring glory to God if we do not SERVE and OBEY Jesus
Christ, if we do not FOLLOW where Jesus guides us. We have to be
WILLING to GO where Jesus sends us and DO what He TELLS us to do or
else we cannot bear fruit.

If we will not SERVE the Master we
cannot be part of His kingdom. When Jesus calls you, do not hesitate,
GO. Or else you are not fit for the kingdom of heaven. Many were
called but very few answered to the call. Those who would not answer
and would not FOLLOW Jesus and would not SERVE Him will be cast out
in UTTER DARKNESS, they will end up with the unbelievers and the
sinners in the lake of fire.

Church and Bible Guilt No Godly Sorrow Modern Christian Believers
Modern day Christian churches teach
believers to be faithful in church attendance and in supporting the
church financially, to be faithful in reading their Bibles, to be
faithful in fellowship with other believers but they do not teach
believers to OBEY Jesus Christ. There is no fear of God, no godly
sorrow over sin and wickedness. They confess to be all sinners saved
by grace, they are lawless, they hate God. By their deeds they prove
that they do not know God. They do not know Jesus Christ, they hate
Him.

If we follow Jesus Christ we FEAR Him,
we HATE SIN, we only care for His approval. We care to HEAR His
VOICE, to LISTEN to Him and to OBEY Him, but modern day believers do
not know Jesus Christ. They have been captured by CHURCH. They are
the fellowship of the willful sinners that justify their sinful
lawless worldly lifestyle with Bible verse, scripture. They have no
knowledge of God they have no fear of God, they have no fear of sin,
they have no fear of the devil he is their friend. They have no fear
of God they fear NOTHING because they are ignorant.

they have no fear of the devil he is their friend. They have no fear

The fear of God is the beginning of
wisdom. It causes us to turn away from sin and wickedness. If we know
Jesus Christ we will hate sin. We will have godly sorrow over our
past sins and we will not return to those sins. We will live in
holiness because without holiness no man shall see God. Modern day
Christians do not know God. They have a form of godliness, religion,
they have Bibles, they have churches, they have preachers to their
own liking that tickle their ears but they don't have Jesus Christ.
They are deceived because they are SINNERS. No sinners will stand in
the presence of God. No sinners will enter into the kingdom of God.
If you are SAVED you are SAVED FROM SIN, you are saved from the
bondage of sin, you are BORN AGAIN, the old MAN OF SIN has DIED. Then
you have been BAPTIZED IN WATER, you have buried the old man and
RISEN from that water a NEW MAN who follows Jesus Christ, who has
been FILLED with the Holy Spirit and who FOLLOWS the guidance of the
Holy Spirit, who walks in HOLINESS every day in the presence of God,
who DOES the WILL OF GOD.

Modern day believers feel GUILTY if
they do not attend church, or support the church and they LIE about
their church attendance and reasons for not attending church. They
make excuses for not reading the Bible “enough” for not going to
church “enough” but they are not concerned about their
relationship with Jesus Christ. They are all DECEIVED.

If you are truly born again all you are
concerned about is Jesus Christ and OBEYING Him, being pleasing to
Him. You FEAR Him, you FOLLOW Him and you SERVE Him. If you do not

Discipleship TODAY Ep 3 Need for FELLOWSHIP
Christian believers have been taught to
go to church. They have not been taught to follow Jesus Christ and
that is why they feel guilty if they do not belong to a church or if
they do not fellowship with other believers. But the fellowship that
we truly need is not that with other believers but with Jesus Christ
Himself. If we have fellowship with other people but not with Jesus,
then we are lost. We have to be in fellowship with Jesus Christ
Himself and then we can bring others into fellowship with Him, but if
we are not in fellowship with Him we are in darkness and we will
perish.

John in 1 John 1:1. He talks about KNOWING and FOLLOWING Jesus Christ
and then testifying to the world about Jesus. Verse 1:

“What was from the beginning, what we
have heard, what we have seen with our eyes, what we have looked at
and touched with our hands, concerning the Word of Life— “ He is
talking about him as disciple and the other disciples, walking with
Jesus Christ, they touched Him, they SAW Him, they HEARD Him. Verse 2
”and the life was manifested, and we have seen and testify and
proclaim to you the eternal life, which was with the Father and was
manifested to us— 3what we have seen and heard we proclaim to
you also, so that you too may have fellowship with us; and INDEED OUR
FELLOWSHIP IS WITH THE FATHER, AND WITH HIS SON JESUS CHRIST. 4These
things we write, so that our joy may be made complete.”

He tells the world about Jesus Christ.
He testifies because he KNOWS Jesus.
He testifies because he KNOWS Jesus.
He goes on to say in verse 5: “This
is the message we have heard from Him and announce to you, that God
is Light, and in Him there is no darkness at all. 6If we say
that we have fellowship with Him and yet walk in the
darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth; 7BUT IF WE WALK
IN THE LIGHT AS HE HIMSELF IS IN THE LIGHT, WE HAVE FELLOWSHIP WITH
ONE ANOTHER, AND THE BLOOD OF JESUS HIS SON CLEANSES US FROM ALL
SIN.”

Verse 8 “If we say that we have no

sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 10If we say

If we walk in the Light, If we walk
with Jesus then the Light shines on us and He shows up the sin and
impurities in our lives and the Holy Spirit convicts us, we
IMMEDIATELY REPENT and walk in holiness and thus we are PURIFIED, we
are CLEANSED and we have FELLOSHIP WITH HIM. If we are not WALKING IN
THE LIGHT, if we are not walking in holiness and righteousness and
obedience to Jesus Christ then we are in darkness. If we are still IN
SIN then we are not walking in the Light, then we don't come to the
Light, we run away form the Light. If we walk in the Light then we
will be PURE as He is PURE and his blood cleanses us of all
unrighteousness.

bear more fruit. 3“YOU ARE ALREADY CLEAN BECAUSE OF THE WORD

What is He saying? He is saying that
because they WALK IN THE LIGHT AND THE LIGHT SHINES ON THEM and the
Holy Spirit convicts them, they are CLEANSED because IMMEDIATELY AS
THEY ARE CONVICTED they REPENT and thus they walk in holiness and in
righteousness before Him; because they WALK IN THE LIGHT.

Verse 4“Abide in Me, and I in you. As
the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abides in the vine,
so neither can you unless you abide in Me. 5“I am
the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me and I in him, he
bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing. 6“If
anyone does not abide in Me, he is thrown away as a branch and dries
up; and they gather them, and cast them into the fire and they are
burned.”

We have to STAY IN FELLOWSHIP with

Our fellowship is with HIM. If we are not in fellowship with Jesus

of the disciples is WITH Jesus Christ. It is only if we are in
fellowship with Him, walking in the Light that we can bring others to
the Light also and it will be OBVIOUS from our DEEDS, the fruit that
we bear, that we ARE walking in the Light because our fruit will
bring glory to God the Father.

Question your conviction
There are many different beliefs and
religions in this world and even among Christians there are thousands
of churches that have different doctrines and their members hold on
to those doctrines, those beliefs. But not all of those can be TRUE.
There is only ONE TRUTH and that TRUTH is Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ
ALONE is the WAY and the LIFE and the TRUTH and He will reveal the
TRUTH to those who seek the truth, but people hold on to their
BELIEFS for various reasons. They feel COMFORTABLE with their way of
believing and thinking, their church, and they even defend their
beliefs and that is why many will perish because they believe lies.
They do not BELIEVE nor do they OBEY the TRUTH.

believe, whatever our conviction, we have to submit it to Jesus
Christ and say:”Lord, please show me the TRUTH.” and He will show
us the truth.

Dead Works that most Christians perform
Many Christian believers put their hope
for salvation in the WORKS that they do, for the CHURCH and as they
call it, for the “Kingdom of God.” Many give vast sums of money
to the church and they support the CHURCH, they support EVANGELISM,
they support PREACHERS. Many are preachers themselves that are
building vast MINISTRIES but they are busy with DEAD WORKS because
they are not LED by the Holy Spirit, they are not IN CHRIST, they are
not living in holiness and righteousness in obedience to Jesus
Christ.

NOTHING. 6“If anyone does not abide in Me, he is thrown away

as a branch and dries up; and they gather them, and cast them into
the fire and they are burned.”
Many people do marvelous works FOR GOD
but they are not IN CHRIST, they are not being LED by the Holy
Spirit. That which is of the flesh is flesh as Jesus also said and I
read from John 3:6 "That which is born of the flesh is flesh,
and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.”

We read the words of Paul in Romans
8:13,14 “for if you are living according to the flesh, you must
die; but if by the Spirit you are putting to death the deeds of the
body, you will live. For all who are being led by the Spirit of God,
these are sons of God.” Many preachers, many churches, many people
have great initiatives but they are of the flesh, they are of their
OWN MIND, they are not LED by the Spirit of God. They build GREAT
CHURCHES and they have GREAT MINISTRIES but they are not part of the
kingdom of God because they do not have the Holy Spirit and they are
not LED by the Holy Spirit, they are performing DEAD WORKS.

All our works are tested by the FIRE OF

Many people put their hope in the words
of Paul as written in 1 Corinthians 3:14 “If any man's work which
he has built on it remains, he will receive a reward. 15 If any
man's work is burned up, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be
saved, yet so as through fire.” That is not what Jesus said, that
is what Paul said. Jesus said that if we do not bear GOOD FRUIT we
will get CUT OFF and BURNED.

Many believers have received Gifts of
the Holy Spirit and they think that the gifts that they received from
God are a GUARANTEE OF SALVATION. It is NOT. God never takes back His
gifts. There are many people who speak in tongues and they live in
sin. There are many who perform miracles in the Name of Jesus, they
preach and they have great ministries but they are living in
unrighteousness and in wickedness. They are building their own
empires and they are committing DEAD WORKS because they are not
following Jesus Christ. They are using the gifts of Christ to benefit
and enrich themselves and that is why many big preachers will be
terribly disappointed when they stand before Jesus Christ.

I read from Matthew 7:22. Jesus
said:21"Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter
the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is
in heaven will enter. 22"Many will say to Me on that day,
'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast
out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?' 23"And
then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; DEPART FROM ME, YOU
WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS.'

They were GREAT PREACHERS, they were
regarded as men and women of God and Jesus says to them:"Go away
I never knew you." Why is that? They were using God's gifts and
the gospel of Jesus Christ to enrich themselves, they were performing
DEAD WORKS. They were not leading souls to Christ, they were
performing DEAD WORKS that lead to DEATH.

If we are not LED by the Holy Spirit.
if we do not STAY WITH Jesus Christ and live closely to Him in
RIGHTEOUSNESS, Holiness and in OBEDIENCE and if we do not do the
works that He GUIDES us into, that He TELLS us to do we cannot serve
the kingdom of God and we will perish, WE will BURN together with our

works that we do are of our own flesh, of our own initiative, MY

A knock at your door
Jesus Christ is Lord. Without Him we
can do nothing, without Him we have no hope, not future, no
expectation, without Him we will PERISH. To most people Jesus is not
part of their lives. He is on the outside and He will not force
Himself on us. We have to embrace Him and invite Him in.

expectation, without Him we will PERISH. To most people Jesus is not
part of their lives. He is on the outside and He will not force
Himself on us. We have to embrace Him and invite Him in.
Jesus is knocking on the door of our
hearts to come in. He gave this message to the apostle John in the
Revelation of John, Revelation 3:20 “'Behold, I stand at the door
and knock; if anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come
in to him and will dine with him, and he with Me.'He who overcomes, I
will grant to him to sit down with Me on My throne, as I also
overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.”

in to him and will dine with him, and he with Me.'He who overcomes, I
will grant to him to sit down with Me on My throne, as I also
overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.”
Without Jesus we can do nothing but He
wants to come into our lives, He wants to dine with us. He wants to
LIVE with us, BE with us and He promises that if we OVERCOME we will
sit down with Him on His throne. That is what He is promising us but
we have to invite Him in, we have to OPEN THE DOOR and invite Jesus
in. We have to OBEY THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST. He will come in if
we OBEY Him, if we open that door and if we REPENT and turn away from
our wicked ways, turn away from going after sin, the pleasures of sin
and our own ambitions and trying to have our own life away from Jesus
Christ. If we turn away from that and embrace Jesus, He will COME IN,
He will forgive our sins, our past sins, He will blot it out and then
we have to OBEY Him; be baptized in water for the washing off of our
sins and He will give His Holy Spirit to come and live WITH us, IN
us, to be WITH us for eternity. And He will guide us, He will teach
us so that we will OVERCOME.

We will overcome the desires of the
flesh, we will overcome the temptations of sin because we are with
Jesus and He is with us. But, dear friends, if we do not open that
door and invite Him in, He will not come in. If we do not clean up
our lives of all evil and unrighteousness, He will not come in
because He does not share space with evil, unrighteousness and with
the devil. He will enable us to OVERCOME if we embrace Him and invite
Him in and if we STAY WITH HIM. But we have to STAY WITH HIM until
the end to be able to overcome.

Why Jesus gave me a second chance
It is destined for man to die once and
thereafter to face judgment. There are no second chances. Once we die
our life is over, our opportunities are over and we will face
judgment for what we have done while alive. But, Jesus Christ gave me
a second chance. I died of a heart attack and I found myself on my
way to hell, but Jesus let me come back to warn the world that HELL
IS REAL and JESUS CHRIST IS ALIVE.

People have asked me why Jesus gave me
that second chance and I asked Him. I will tell you why. It was
because I was deceived, I did not know the truth. Just like many
other believers I also believer in ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED and when I
died I thought I was saved, I thought I was going to heaven, but I
found myself on my way to HELL. I was serious about following Jesus
and I thought that I had the truth but I was believing lies. Because
I was SERIOUS, Jesus had mercy on me and He let me come back and He
TAUGHT ME THE TRUTH. After I came back I asked Jesus to guide me, to
teach me and He spoke to me in many ways.

teach me and He spoke to me in many ways.
One night I had a dream of a friend of
mine who died and at that time I did not know that this person had
passed away. I dreamed that this person came to the gate of heaven
and he said:”Lord Jesus I am here,” and a voice from the inside
said:”Who are you?” He said his name and the voice said:”Go
away, I don't know you.” I woke up in a cold sweat and I
said:”Lord, if I come to that gate, will You know me? “ because I
knew it is written, Jesus said:”My sheep LISTEN to My VOICE and
they FOLLOW Me.” And I said:”Lord I do not know your voice. I
need to know Your VOICE. Please teach me. Please teach me Your voice.
Please teach me to listen, please guide me, please show me the
truth.” And Jesus Christ has been showing me the truth. I learn
every day and I am sharing that truth with the world.

Jesus Christ ALONE is the WAY the TRUTH
and the LIFE. People look for salvation in the Bible and from other
people, they run after people whom they believe are spiritual, or men
and women of God. Man cannot help you, dear friend, only Jesus
Christ, and Jesus wants to reveal Himself to YOU and to me. He wants
us to come into close fellowship with HIM. He wants to guide us and
teach us His ways. He wants to bring us into His kingdom, make us
part of His kingdom but we have to seek Him. We have to come into
fellowship with Him.

The Bible tells us that “those who
are led by the Spirit of God they are the sons of God.” (Romans
8:14) Jesus says:”My sheep HEAR My VOICE.” Very few believers
hear His voice, they go after other people and they interpret the
scriptures for themselves but they do not know Jesus, they have no
knowledge of God. That is how I was and I ASSUMED many things from
what I had read and heard from other spiritual people, but we only
have ONE Leader and that is Jesus Christ. He is calling each and
every one of us to come to Him. If we seek Him, we find Him. If we
obey His words as they are also written in the gospels, Matthew,
Mark, Luke and John, if we REPENT, turn away from our wicked ways,
seek Him with all our heart, accept Him as our Lord and Master,
SUBMIT to Him, be BAPTIZED IN WATER, and SEEK Him with all our
heart, He will fill us with His Spirit, the Holy Spirit and we can be
in fellowship with Him all the time. But if we are not interested in
Him then He will REJECT US. That is why Jesus said that He will say
to many believers in that day that they die, even though they were
church people, they believed they were saved; many of them were
preachers, they thought they were men of God, they did many things in
His Name, built churches, cast out demons, healed the sick, and He
will say to them:”Go away I never knew you, you workers of
wickedness.” Because they received His gifts and they believed they
were saved, many of them spoke in tongues and therefor they thought
they had the Holy Spirit, which they did, but they never FOLLOWED the
guidance of the Holy Spirit. They never came into that close
fellowship with Jesus Christ, they NEVER FOLLOWED HIM and that is why
they will perish.

If we are not interested in Jesus

all that we are then He will turn us away. He will say to us:”Go

want to come to Me now?”

I am so glad that Jesus gave me that
second chance so that I could learn the truth and today I walk in
truth because I follow Jesus and I want to stay with Him every day
until the very end. I also want to share the truth with the world and
bring many deceived souls to Jesus Christ so that they can follow HIM
alone, because He is the WAY, nobody else. Don't go after men, don't
trust in your own understanding. Seek Jesus and He will reveal
Himself to you. Seek Him with all your heart, seek Him more than
food, more than anything else, BE SERIOUS and He will reveal Himself
to you. And then STAY WITH JESUS, let Him guide and teach you every
day because without Jesus we will perish, without Jesus we can do
nothing.

Discipleship TODAY Ep 2 Deny Yourself Fasting
There is only one way to have salvation
and that is the way of DISCIPLESHIP, following Jesus Christ. There is
only one way that we can follow Jesus Christ and that is to be LED by
the Holy Spirit. Most believers do not have the Holy Spirit, they do
not know what discipleship is all about. it will COST you to follow
Jesus Christ. The COST is very high and Jesus said that if we WISH to
follow Him we must DENY OURSELVES, PICK UP OUR cross and FOLLOW Him.
Most believers do not know what that means and I want to explain that
today.

it, but whoever loses his life for My sake, he is the one who will
save it. 25“For what is a man profited if he gains the whole
world, and loses or forfeits himself? 26“For whoever is
ashamed of Me and My words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him
when He comes in His glory, and the glory of the Father and
of the holy angels."
He was saying to them all, “If anyone wishes to come
after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross daily and
follow Me. 24“For whoever wishes to save his life will lose
it, but whoever loses his life for My sake, he is the one who will
save it. 25“For what is a man profited if he gains the whole
world, and loses or forfeits himself? 26“For whoever is

when He comes in His glory, and the glory of the Father and
of the holy angels."
We have to DENY OURSELVES. What does it
mean to DENY YOURSELF?
mean to DENY YOURSELF?
It means to REPENT, REPENT, TURN AWAY,
DISREGARD and REFRAIN from satisfying our own DESIRES, NEEDS,
PLEASURES, ASPIRATIONS and PLANS. You ABANDON your own desires, that
which you LIKE. You give it up and then you have to go after Jesus
Christ.

Jesus said that you have to PICK UP
YOUR CROSS. what is that CROSS?
YOUR CROSS. what is that CROSS?
The cross is the COMMANDMENTS of
Jesus Christ, His WORDS, that which He spoke. That was also recorded
in the gospels Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Those are the words of
eternal life and we have to OBEY them if we want to have eternal
life. Before we can follow Jesus Christ we have to obey those words.
That is the CROSS, because as soon as you start obeying the words of
Jesus, if you REPENT, turn away from sin, turn away from the things
of the world and live according to the words of Jesus then you will
be REJECTED. You will be PERSECUTED, you will be SLANDERED, you will
be EX-COMMUNICATED. The world will REJECT you, family will reject
you, you might lose your job, you might lose your spouse. Your
children might reject you, you will end up ALONE. And if you keep on
obeying Jesus, doing as He commanded, you will end up alone,
carrying your cross.

Obeying the words of Jesus Christ and
doing as he commanded , that is the cross that we will bear. If we
disregard His words and disobey Him then we are not suitable for His
kingdom, we cannot follow Him.

Many refuse to be baptized in water
because if they are baptized in water people will reject them. They
rather treasure the acceptance of people than the acceptance of God
and therefor they cannot follow Jesus. They are not willing to pick
up their cross every day and follow Jesus Christ in spite of
rejection, in spite of difficulty, in spite of persecution. They
don't want the cross. They are not willing to give up the things of
the world , they are not willing to bear the cross. If we make up our
mind to follow Jesus Christ and we deny ourselves, we OBEY His words,
REPENT and are baptized in water then only can we follow Him BUT we
can only follow Jesus Christ if we are LED by the Holy Spirit. If we
do not have the Holy Spirit we cannot follow Jesus Christ. You cannot
follow Jesus from reading the Bible. You cannot follow Him form being
religious, going to church, being in fellowship with other
Christians. You have to be in fellowship with Jesus Christ. You need
to be baptized in the Holy Spirit and then follow the guidance of the
Holy Spirit every day. You have to stay with Jesus , stay tuned in,
listen to the Holy Spirit and He will teach and guide you. He will
send you, He will use you. Jesus has called each and every one of us
for a purpose in His kingdom and the only way that we can fulfill
that purpose is if we are led by the Holy Spirit every day.

There is no TIME OUT. You cannot stop
following Jesus Christ for a day or two and then go back. You have to
follow Him every day until the very end. That is the road of
discipleship.

We can only follow Jesus Christ if we
have His Spirit and if we LISTEN, FOLLOW and OBEY Him. We have to
make SPACE for His Spirit. That is why we have to DENY ourselves, we
have to deny ourselves our own plans, deny ourselves watching TV,
playing sports, doing the things that the world do and OPEN our
hearts for Jesus, invite Him in, WAIT on Him, SEEK Him, PRAY and ask
Him to FILL us with His Spirit so that we can be in FELLOWSHIP, in

Many people say they have been asking
for the baptism in the Holy Spirit and they are not receiving it. It
is because they are not seeking. It is because they are not SERIOUS.

Many believers do not know what the

After our Lord Jesus was baptized by
John the Baptist, He was led into the desert by the Holy Spirit,
where He fasted for forty days, He was without food and after that
the devil came and tempted Him but He overcame satan.

The purpose of FASTING, going without
food for some time, to pray is do deprive yourself of sensual and
physical pleasures and to focus on Jesus. As the physical is weakened
the spiritual inner man that is normally suppressed and smothered is
allowed to surface and you become spiritually awake, your spirit is
released and becomes open to the Holy Spirit. While you are fasting
you have to get your focus on Jesus Christ and PRAY because as your
body is weakened and your spirit becomes awakened you will be
attacked by evil spirits also, by demons, like Jesus was attacked by
the devil. You have to keep your mind and your spirit focused on
Jesus Christ and OPEN yourself to Him. You have to fight off the evil
spirits.

The first three days you will become
hungry and you will want to eat. After three days the hunger pains
will leave you and you will be able to stay without food much easier,
but keep on using water. It is possible to fast on water for forty
days as Jesus Christ did. And after that the devil tempted Him but
He overcame satan. He was filled with the Holy Spirit and then His
ministry started.

If we follow Jesus Christ we need to be
filled with the Holy Spirit and the POWER of God. We need to to be
RECEPTIVE to the Holy Spirit. We need to KNOW His VOICE and FOLLOW
Him. If we have not received the Holy Spirit and we have not learned
to HEAR His VOICE, to LISTEN, to OBEY, to FOLLOW then we cannot

sinning. They have never FOUGHT the devil and overcome. They are
still battling with sin and they are not led by the Holy Spirit
because they do not have the Spirit of Christ IN them. We have to be
FILLED with the Holy Spirit, we have to be taught by the Holy Spirit
and led by the Holy Spirit to do the works of God, to fulfill the
task for which Jesus Christ has called us and if we do not have the

cross and follow Jesus Christ, PRAY, LISTEN, OBEY and DO what He

are not LED by the Spirit of God. We cannot go out on our own and

Saved Sinners SIN NO MORE Called to SERVE
The wages of sin is DEATH. The soul that sins will DIE, will PERISH. Jesus Christ came to take away the sins of the world. He came to FREE us from the bondage of sin. If we believe in Jesus Christ and we OBEY Him and we REPENT of sin, He PARDONS us and He makes us children of God, He gives of His Spirit in us to guide us and to teach us so that we will live in righteousness and IN the WILL OF GOD.
Many people claim to be SAVED but they are still SINNERS, they are not saved, they are DOOMED. If we are saved by Jesus Christ then we OBEY Him and we SIN NO MORE BECAUSE WE ARE LED BY THE SPIRIT OF GOD, The Holy Spirit, and if we do not have the Holy Spirit we do not belong to God, then we do not belong to Jesus Christ and we are DOOMED. If we do not follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit and OBEY Him we will PERISH. The Holy Spirit guides us into all truth, into holiness and righteousness and into doing the will of God.
The KEY to being a child of God is HAVING the Spirit of God which the apostle Paul wrote about in Romans 8. Read with me form Romans 8:1.
“1Therefore there is now no condemnation for those who are IN Christ Jesus.” What does Paul mean by this? Being IN Christ Jesus means BEING IN HIS WILL, being LED by His Spirit.
Verse 2 “For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and of death. 3For what the Law could not do, weak as it was through the flesh, God did: sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and as an offering for sin, He condemned sin in the flesh, 4so that the REQUIREMENT OF THE LAW MIGHT BE FULFILLED IN US, WHO DO NOT WALK ACCORDING TO THE FLESH BUT ACCORDING TO THE SPIRIT.” What is he saying here? He says that it was impossible for man to obey and keep the requirements of the LAW but Jesus Christ came and He SET US FREE from the bondage of sin and He gave His Spirit in us so that we can fulfill the requirements of the LAW , we CAN STOP SINNING. We can be FREE FROM SIN. Why? Because we are living according to the Spirit. We follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
Verse 5 "For those who are according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who are according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. 6For the mind set on the flesh is death, but the mind set on the Spirit is life and peace, 7because the mind set on the flesh is hostile toward God; for it does not subject itself to the law of God, for it is not even able to do so, 8and those who are in the flesh cannot please God." If we live according to our fleshly desires we cannot please God, then we will SIN. And then we are in enmity with God but if we LISTEN to the Holy Spirit and OBEY Him we will SIN NO MORE, we will DO the WILL OF GOD.
Most believers live according to their FLESH. They go after their fleshly desires and that is why they cannot stop sinning. Most of them do not have the Holy Spirit because they have not accepted Jesus Christ. Others have accepted Jesus but they have turned their back on Him and they live according to the flesh, they sin and they live in immorality and that is why they will perish.
Verse 9 "However, you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him. 10If Christ is in you, though the body is dead because of sin, yet the spirit is alive because of righteousness. 11But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you."
The problem with most believers is that they do not have the Holy Spirit and that is why they are not able to obey the law of God. They are spiritually DEAD. They are nto children of God as Paul writes in verse 9. "But if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him."
If the Spirit of Christ is in you He EMPOWERS you, He gives you the POWER to stand against the whiles of the devil, He gives you the POWER to RESIST satan and to STOP SINNING and to DO the will of God. But if you do not have the Holy Spirit you ARE NOT OF Jesus Christ, you are bound by satan, you are in the flesh and not in the Spirit. You are living as a mere man, not as a child of God.
we read in verse 12 "So then, brethren, WE ARE UNDER OBLIGATION," He is talking about those who have received the Holy Spirit.
"WE ARE UNDER OBLIGATION,NOT TO THE FLESH, TO LIVE ACCORDING TO THE FLESH— 13FOR IF YOU ARE LIVING ACCORDING TO THE FLESH, YOU MUST DIE; but if by the Spirit you are putting to death the deeds of the body, you will live. 14For all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. 15For you have not received a spirit of slavery leading to fear again, but you have received a spirit of adoption as sons by which we cry out, “Abba! Father!” 16The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are children of God, 17and if children, heirs also, heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him so that we may also be glorified with Him."
Those who have ACCEPTED Jesus Christ and have REPENTED, have BEEN BORN AGAIN of the Spirit of God, have been BAPTIZED IN WATER and have RECEIVED the BAPTISM IN THE HOLY SPIRIT are under OBLIGATION to follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit, to LISTEN to Him and to OBEY Him and to DO the will of God or else they will PERISH. If they live according to their own desires and ambitions and do the desires of the flesh, if they SIN, they will PERISH. If they DISOBEY Jesus Christ and DO NOT OBEY the will of God they will perish! If Jesus Christ called you to be a son of God YOU MUST GO, YOU MUST FOLLOW HIM or else you will perish, you will end up in hell. Many have been called by God but they did not answer to the call, THEY WILL PERISH.
We have to live according to the guidance of the Holy Spirit. It is not optional, it is AN OBLIGATION. If you are a child of God you obey God and you do the will of God. And if you do not obey the will of God you will get CUT OFF. Every branch in Christ that does not bear good fruit will get CUT OFF AND BURNED. You have to be led by the Holy Spirit and DO the will of God or else you ARE USELESS for the kingdom of God. you will get KICKED OUT, you will get CUT OFF, you will get BURNED. Either you do the will of God or you will get CUT OFF. You are UNDER OBLIGATION to do the will of God. Every child of God is under obligation to live according to the Spirit of God and if you are not living according to the Spirit and obeying the guidance of the Holy Spirit you will PERISH.
He says: 11"WE ARE UNDER OBLIGATION,NOT TO THE FLESH, TO LIVE ACCORDING TO THE FLESH— 13FOR IF YOU ARE LIVING ACCORDING TO THE FLESH, YOU MUST DIE;
You have to be led by the Spirit of God. It is not just a matter of STOP SINNING, it is a matter of DOING the will of God , FOLLOWING Jesus Christ and fulfilling the calling with which He has called you.
If the gospel of Jesus Christ has come to you then HE IS CALLING YOU to FOLLOW HIM and if you reject Him He will reject you when you stand before Him . He will say to you: "GO AWAY I NEVER KNEW YOU, I DO NOT KNOW WHERE YOU ARE FROM."
Have you answered the call? Are you FOLLOWING Jesus Christ or are you just still struggling with sin? You have to be led by the Spirit of God and DO the will of God or else you will PERISH. It is not just a matter of STOP SINNING, it is a matter of DOING the will of God and being a child of God or else you are a child of satan and you will PERISH.
Are you a child of God or are you DOOMED? Get serious with Jesus, REPENT of sin, be baptized in water, seek the infilling with His Holy Spirit and FOLLOW the guidance of His Spirit every day of your life until the very end or else you are not suitable for the kingdom of heaven. There is no easy way to get into the kingdom of heaven. Follow Jesus Christ an d OBEY Him or you will perish. Seek Jesus NOW before it is for ever too late.
May Jesus bless you.

Worry about yourself
Many so-called Christian believers attack me and others who preach the gospel of Jesus Christ. They want to correct us and accuse us of preaching a WORKS BASED gospel. The gospel of Jesus Christ is based on WORKS.
Jesus Christ will judge every man according to their DEEDS, what they have done.
My message to those who attack me and want to correct me is: WORRY ABOUT YOURSELF. Each of us will stand before Jesus Christ and give account to Him for what we have done or neglected to do.
Dear friend, WORK OUT YOUR OWN SALVATION with FEAR and TREMBLING. God is watching us.
May Jesus bless you.

Discipleship TODAY Ep 1
Modern day preaching is all about
salvation but salvation is Jesus Christ. It is not just a matter of
believing in Him but FOLLOWING Him and OBEYING Him and the only way
that we can follow Him is through discipleship, becoming a disciple
of Jesus Christ. Merely believing in Jesus Christ cannot save us.
And that is what people believe nowadays, that if you believe in
Jesus you can have salvation and you will have eternal life. That is
not true.

We have to become disciples of Jesus
Christ and FOLLOW Him and OBEY Him. Jesus commanded His disciples to
MAKE DISCIPLES like they themselves were disciples. Jesus Christ did
not change and discipleship did not change. The only way that we can
follow Jesus Christ is by being a DISCIPLE. The only way that we can
teach other people to be disciples is to be disciples ourselves. It
is not a matter of Bible study, it is a matter of knowing Jesus
Christ for REAL and FOLLOWING Him and that is what we are talking
about here. I want to teach you to be disciples of Jesus Christ like
He has taught me to be a disciple.

After Jesus Christ suffered and was
crucified and resurrected, before He ascended to heaven, He gave His
disciples command to go into all the world and make disciples. That
is recorded in Matthew 28:18. “And Jesus came up and spoke to them
saying: All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.
Go therefor and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the
Name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to
observe all that I commanded you and lo I am with you always even to
the end of the age.”

How do we know what Jesus taught His
disciples? The commands of Jesus, that which He taught His disciples,
were recorded in the gospels Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Those are
the words of eternal life, the words of Jesus Christ. That which He
commanded. Jesus commanded His disciples to go into all the world and
MAKE DISCIPLES and to teach them to OBEY His COMMANDS.

But now, how would they be able to
FOLLOW Jesus? They have His commands as they are handed over by the
disciples themselves, they are also recorded in the gospels for us,
so we know what Jesus Christ commanded, but how can we FOLLOW Him?
Jesus promised the Holy Spirit that will guide every believer who
obeys His commands, into all truth. Jesus Christ will give HIS
Spirit, the Holy Spirit to guide each and every disciple. He did not
command His disciples to go and build churches and to guide the
people themselves, HE HIMSELF will guide teach and every one who
obeys His commands. He will reveal Himself to that person. Jesus
Christ did not promise us a book, a Bible, He promised us His Holy
Spirit that will guide each and every one who believes in Him.
FOLLOW Jesus? They have His commands as they are handed over by the
disciples themselves, they are also recorded in the gospels for us,
so we know what Jesus Christ commanded, but how can we FOLLOW Him?
Jesus promised the Holy Spirit that will guide every believer who
obeys His commands, into all truth. Jesus Christ will give HIS
Spirit, the Holy Spirit to guide each and every disciple. He did not
command His disciples to go and build churches and to guide the
people themselves, HE HIMSELF will guide teach and every one who
obeys His commands. He will reveal Himself to that person. Jesus
Christ did not promise us a book, a Bible, He promised us His Holy
Spirit that will guide each and every one who believes in Him.
We read in John 14:16 “I will ask the
Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may be with you
forever; 17that is the Spirit of truth, whom the world
cannot receive, because it does not behold Him or know Him, but you
know Him because He abides with you and will be in you.
18“I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. 19“AfterFather, and He will give you another Helper, that He may be with you
forever; 17that is the Spirit of truth, whom the world
cannot receive, because it does not behold Him or know Him, but you
know Him because He abides with you and will be in you.
a little while the world will behold Me no longer, but you will
behold Me; because I live, you shall live also. 20“In that day
you shall know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you.
21“He who has My commandments and keeps them is the one who loves
Me; and he who loves Me shall be loved by My Father, and I will love
him and I WILL DISCLOSE MYSELF TO HIM.”
Jesus promised the Holy Spirit that will come and be IN His
disciples so that they can be ONE with Him and thus also ONE with the
Father. He didn't promise them another teacher or a book. He promised
them this Helper, the Holy Spirit that would come and would TEACH
them and GUIDE them into all TRUTH. Jesus further said. I read from
John 16:7 “But I tell you the truth, it is to your advantage that I
go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper shall not come to you;
but if I go, I will send Him to you. 8“And He, when He comes,
will convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and
judgment; 9concerning sin, because they do not believe in
Me;10and concerning righteousness, because I go to the Father and you
no longer behold Me; 11and concerning judgment, because the
ruler of this world has been judged.
12“I have many more things
to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. 13“But
when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the
truth; for He will not speak on His own initiative, but whatever He
hears, He will speak; and He WILL DISCLOSE TO YOU WHAT IS TO
COME. 14“He shall glorify Me, for He shall take of Mine and
shall disclose it to you.”
Now this Holy Spirit, the very presence of Jesus Christ was given
on the day of Pentecost. Before Jesus ascended He commanded His
disciples to go to Jerusalem and to WAIT for the Holy Spirit to be
given to them. We read in Acts 1:4 “Gathering them together, He
commanded them not to leave Jerusalem, but to WAIT for what the
Father had promised, “Which,” He said, “you heard of
from Me; 5for John baptized with water, but you shall be
baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now.”
We read in Acts 2:1 “When the day of Pentecost had come, they
were all together in one place. 2And suddenly there came from
heaven a noise like a violent rushing wind, and it filled the whole
house where they were sitting. 3And there appeared to them
tongues as of fire distributing themselves, and they rested on each
one of them. 4And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and
began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them
utterance.” That was when the Holy spirit was poured out, was
given, on the disciples of Jesus Christ. They were praying in the
upper room and waiting for the Holy Spirit that Jesus promised them.
This Holy Spirit was promised to all those who believe in Jesus after
hearing the gospel as preached by the disciples. The disciples would
go out in the POWER of the Holy Spirit and they would be LED by the
Spirit, they would FOLLOW Jesus Christ. He did not leave them as
orphans, He did not leave them on their own. Jesus did not give His
disciples a set of instructions, a handbook and told them to go and
apply those principles, He gave them the Holy Spirit that would guide
them and we read in the book of Acts the ACTS OF THE APOSTLES, those
things that the apostles did under guidance of the Holy Spirit. They
did not go out on their own accord. They went out under the guidance
of the Holy Spirit because Jesus told them to WAIT until they had
received the Holy Spirit and the very same we cannot do the work of
God and be disciples if we are not led by the Holy Spirit, if we have
not received the Holy Spirit.
We need to RECEIVE the Holy Spirit and be LED by the Holy Spirit
or else we do not have INSTRUCTION from Jesus Christ, neither do we
have the POWER of the Holy Spirit GUIDING us, LEADING us, TEACHING us
and CONFIRMING us as being from God. We need to be LED by the Holy
Spirit but FIRST we need to receive the baptism in the Holy Spirit to
be disciples of Jesus Christ, to SERVE His kingdom.
When the Holy Spirit was poured out on the day of Pentecost and
these people started speaking in other tongues that they had never
learned before but the Holy Spirit gave them utterance, the people
were amazed. They were pierced in their hearts because they could see
that this was a miracle, this was from God. And the apostle Peter
stood up and He spoke to them. They wanted to know what they had to
do to also become part of the kingdom of God. We read in Acts 2:38
“Peter said to them, “Repent, and each of you be
baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your
sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39“For
THE PROMISE IS FOR YOU AND YOUR CHILDREN AND FOR ALL WHO ARE FAR OFF,
AS MANY AS THE LORD OUR GOD SHALL CALL TO HIMSELF.” The Holy
Spirit, the PRESENCE of Christ in each and every true follower, every
disciple, is promised to all those who BELIEVE, who REPENT, who are
BAPTIZED IN WATER and who OBEY the commands of Jesus Christ.
If we do not have the Holy Spirit then we are not of Christ, we
are not CONNECTED to Him, we cannot be His disciples, we cannot
follow Him, we cannot do His will. And that is what Paul wrote in
Romans 8:14 “For all who ARE BEING LED by the Spirit of God, these
are the sons of God.” We need to be led by the Spirit of God to be
sons of God, children of God, to be DISCIPLES of Jesus Christ. If we
do not have the Spirit of Christ, the Holy Spirit, then we do not
belong to Him. That is what Paul wrote in Romans 8:9. “But if
anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ he DOES NOT BELONG TO HIM.”
Discipleship is about BEING LED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT, the Spirit of
Christ. If we are not led by the Spirit of Christ, the Holy Spirit,
then we cannot be disciples of Jesus Christ and we cannot be part of
His kingdom but it all starts with firstly BELIEVING in Jesus and
then because we believe in Him, to OBEY His commands; to REPENT and
be BAPTIZED and to live according to His words, that which He
commanded and then He will REVEAL Himself to us and He will give the
Holy Spirit, He will fill us with the Holy Spirit and we will be
GUIDED by the Holy Spirit.
Many believers do not have the Holy Spirit. Some HAVE received the
Holy Spirit also with evidence of speaking in tongues but after that
they never followed the guidance of the Holy Spirit because people
have not been taught to follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit, the
have been taught to be religious, to go to church, to read the Bible
but they have no relationship with Jesus Christ and they are not led
by the Holy Spirit. They are thus NOT children of God because THOSE
WHO ARE LED BY THE SPIRIT OF GOD, THEY are the sons of God. If we are
not led by the Spirit of God then we are led by our own spirit or by
other influences, our own mind; we do not submit ourselves to Jesus
Christ we do as we like and as we please and therefor we cannot serve
Jesus, we are not part of His kingdom.
Salvation is about the kingdom of God, being led by the Spirit of
Christ, the Holy Spirit, and living in utter obedience to Jesus
Christ. It is about DISCIPLESHIP and that is why Jesus said to His
disciples:”Go into all the world and MAKE DISCIPLES.” We need to
be DISCIPLES of Jesus Christ who are LED by His Holy Spirit. If we do
not have that CONNECTION and we are not LED by the Holy Spirit then
we do not belong to Christ.
Have you received the Holy Spirit? Do you follow the guidance of
the Holy Spirit? We need to be LED by the Holy Spirit in order to be
pleasing to Jesus, to be part of His kingdom.
May Jesus bless you.

Stop Lying ALL LIARS will end up in HELL
Lying is a terrible sin that will cause many people to end up in hell. There is no such thing as a white lie. All lies are BLACK.
Sin separates man from God and LYING IS SIN. People lie all the time, they lie to their children, they lie to their spouses. They lie every day and they think it is acceptable but lying will cause many to end up in hell because LIARS will not enter the kingdom of heaven.
We read in Revelations 21:8.
8“But for the cowardly and unbelieving and abominable and murderers and immoral persons and sorcerers and idolaters and ALL LIARS, their part will be in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.”
Most people lie. They lie every day and even people who believe that they are saved lie. You cannot be saved if you keep on lying, you have to speak the truth.
Often we speak to quickly. We reply too quickly when asked something and it is an easy way out to lie, but that is the way to HELL. We must rather be quiet first before we answer and lie, because lies will cause people to end up in hell. Lying is a serious sin, we have to speak the truth or else we will not enter the kingdom of God.
Jesus Christ is the way the life and the TRUTH. If we follow Him we speak the truth. STOP LYING or you will not enter the kingdom of God.
May Jesus bless you.

To know the TRUTH
People lie. Sometimes they exaggerate. People even lie about their testimonies. Therefor we should not trust any man but only trust in Jesus Christ. It is written that "every man is a liar and God is the truth." It is also written:"Cursed is the man who puts his trust in mankind and his heart turns away from the Lord his God."
We should not trust other people at all. Trust no man. Only trust in Jesus Christ because He IS the WAY the TRUTH and the LIFE. Whatever you hear, even if it is a preacher from a pulpit, even if it is people that you trust, DON'T TRUST them. Trust in Jesus Christ ALONE.
If you want to know the truth, PRAY and ask HIM and He will reveal the truth to you.
There is only ONE WAY to know the truth and that is to HEAR from Jesus Christ HIMSELF. If you don't you will be deceived. Trust in Jesus Christ ALONE and He will guide you every step of the way. He will teach you and He will tell you the TRUTH.
May Jesus bless you.

The Self-Sufficient Christian
The world is full of self-sufficient
Christians. They have everything sorted out. They have their church,
they have their Bible, they know the right scriptures, they can
prove their salvation, they have their occupation. They have their
plans. They are in total control. They have their life planned and
they do things as they see fit. The only problem is that they do not
have Jesus Christ.

what He tells us to do. We take the job that He gives us to do and we
live our lives to please Him. We do not quote scripture to defend or
justify our belief, we have a TESTIMONY because we WALK WITH Jesus.
He provides in our needs and He guides us every step of the way.

TO REPENT
TO REPENT means to start a NEW LIFE where we turn away from SIN and SELF and we live to please Jesus Christ.
The question is: Are we OBEYING Jesus Christ and DOING what is pleasing to Him?
If not, I IMMEDIATELY turn away from that which is not pleasing to Him, not gradually but IMMEDIATELY.
Salvation IS Jesus Christ, following and obeying HIM, HIS WORDS as recorded in the scriptures, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John and CONFIRMED by the Holy Spirit that IMMEDIATELY CONVICTS us the moment we even think wrong. As long as we seek the GUIDANCE of the Holy Spirit, who will speak to us in our spirit, and we OBEY Him, we are SAFE. If we disobey Him, and GRIEVE Him, He will LEAVE us and we will PERISH.
If the Holy Spirit CONVICTS us we must IMMEDIATELY repent, plead forgiveness and OBEY, then we will stay IN THE WILL OF GOD. If we listen to other people we will be confused and deceived. PRAY and ASK Jesus and He will guide you. TRUST and OBEY Him and He will GUIDE you.

STOP SINNING RESIST Temptation RESIST satan or PERISH
The wages of sin is death. That is God's LAW. No sinners will come into the presence of God. If you do not REPENT, turn away from sin and receive forgiveness from Jesus Christ then you will perish. But if you go back to sin after believing in Jesus Christ and after receiving His forgiveness then you will perish.
No sinners will come into the presence of God. Without holiness no man shall see God. Sin separates us from God. The moment you sin the Holy Spirit will convict you and if you do not immediately repent and ask forgiveness from Jesus Christ then you will perish away from God.
People easily fall for temptation. satan knows that if you sin you are separated from God and you are doomed and that is why he will do anything and everything to make you stumble. He will tempt you. But if you give in to temptation you are separated from God,. If you do not immediately repent and plead forgiveness from Jesus Christ then you will perish in your sins. You cannot keep on sinning and keep on repenting. You have to turn away from sin. if you do not seriously stop sinning then Jesus Christ will not forgive you. If you do not forgive all those who have sinned against you then you will also not have forgiveness. Sin separates us from God. We cannot follow Jesus Christ if we sin. We have to be pure and holy to walk with God, to be in His presence, to enter His kingdom.
Many believers will perish because they are sinners. If you are born again by the Spirit of God then you will hate sin. You will be tempted but you have to resist the devil, you have to stand against temptation because if you give in to temptation you are separated from God and you will perish. Just a common white lie will cause many people to end up in hell.
God is holy. In Him there is no impurity. We have to be pure and holy to live in the presence of God. If we sin we will BURN. Don't let anybody tell you anything else, you cannot sin and be in the presence of God. You have to be holy and righteous. Jesus said:"Be perfect as your father in heaven is perfect."
Resist temptation, resist the devil and he will flee from you. Do not give him any foothold or he will cause you to stumble and you might not get up again. Stay with Jesus, be pure, be holy, SIN NO MORE or you will PERISH.
May Jesus bless you.

Faith with ACTION
Faith in Jesus Christ and His words produces IMMEDIATE ACTION in those who believe. Those who truly believe the gospel of Jesus Christ and ACCEPT Him immediately REPENT. They turn away from their old life style. IMMEDIATELY they STOP SINNING and they are BAPTIZED IN WATER, they TAKE ACTION. They FOLLOW Jesus Christ, they are BORN AGAIN of the Spirit of God and of water and they are FILLED with the Holy Spirit. They become DISCIPLES of Jesus Christ who are led by His Holy Spirit.
Most believers never believed. They believe that they are SAVED. They believe in SALVATION but they do not believe in Jesus Christ. They are not changed, they are not born again because they carry on with their lives exactly like the rest of the world. They live in sin but they become RELIGIOUS HYPOCRITES who belong to churches and read Bibles and quote Bible scripture to prove their faith. By their DEEDS they prove that they are sons of the devil because they are SINNERS.
Those who truly believe in Jesus Christ are TRANSFORMED. You can see that they are children of God, the way that they live and the way that they follow and obey Jesus Christ SHOWS you that they are SAVED. They are not of this world, they belong to the kingdom of God and they are following their King.
Did you truly BELIEVE the gospel of Jesus Christ ? Have you repented, been baptized? Are you following Him? Have you become a disciple of Jesus Christ or are you just a religious hypocrite that is deceiving yourself?
Faith in Jesus Christ produces immediate ACTION with those who BELIEVED, they become DISCIPLES, the LIGHT OF THE WORLD, THE SALT OF THE EARTH, they are DIFFERENT.
What happened since you believed in Jesus Christ? Have you become a child of God or do your works show that you are a child of the devil?
May Jesus bless you.
Jesus Christ gives you the POWER
Anybody who wishes to follow Jesus Christ and have eternal life can do so IF they WANT to because if we WANT TO follow Jesus Christ He ENABLES us, He gives us the POWER.
Many people are entangled in sin, they are ADDICTED to sinful lusts and to medications and substances. They are SLAVES TO SIN and to those things that have BOUND them. But if we want to follow Jesus Christ He will set us FREE because WHOMEVER THE SON OF GOD HAS SET FREE will be FREE and FREE INDEED.
If we humble ourselves before Jesus Christ and we accept Him as our Lord and Master, we REPENT of our past sins and we plead Him forgiveness and we ASK Him to, He will set us free, He will make us NEW INSIDE, born again TO BE CHILDREN OF GOD and then we will have the POWER to do everything that we need to do to follow Him, to STOP SINNING to live in holiness and righteousness, to OBEY Him, but many believers say that they don't have the power. They cannot stop sinning. Either they did not REPENT, they were not serious with Jesus Christ and did not accept Him as their Master or He did deliver them from their vices but they went back to sin and they got entangled into sin again. And that is why they are bound by satan again, they cannot do what they want to do because they went back to their sins. They became ENSLAVED again.
We can follow Jesus Christ if we want to and He will deliver us if we seriously ask Him but if we go back to our bondage then He will deliver us (hand us over) to our lusts. He will allow us to get bound by satan again because that is what we desire, we love the pleasures of sin and then Jesus will enable us, He will let those demons loose on us because we loved our sin. That is why many Christians are entangled in sin and they cannot turn away from those things that bind them. It is because they went back to their previous life style and to their sins.
There is HOPE for those who are SERIOUS, who want to follow Jesus Christ but you need to be SERIOUS. Seek Him with all your heart and be serious. Don't think that your deliverance will be as easy as the first time around because you DESPISED the grace of God. If you come back to Jesus you will have to BE SERIOUS, you will have to FIGHT THE DEVIL, you will have to RESIST him in the Name of Jesus, you will have a fight on your hands because YOU allowed the devil back into your life and YOU will have to kick him out. Jesus will empower you but YOU will have to fight until your own power gives in and then He will give you the power to overcome satan.
It will be a struggle. It will be a FIGHT if you want to get back to Jesus Christ but Jesus will give you the power IF you are serious. If you are not serious you will perish in your sins.
There is a price and a cost to following Jesus Christ. You will have to give up the pleasures of sin and you will have to fight the devil until the very end. Jesus will empower you but you will have to fight until the last bit of power that is left in you then Jesus will help you with His supernatural power. But don't expect Jesus to do the fighting for you. YOU will have to fight until the very end.
May Jesus bless you.

No amnesty for sinners into heaven
There will be no amnesty into heaven for sinners who DISOBEYED the gospel of Jesus Christ. They are the ones to who Jesus Christ will say on the day that they die, He will say to them:”Go away I never knew you, you workers of wickedness.”
If we do not repent and turn from our wicked ways, OBEY Jesus Christ, STOP SINNING, be BAPTIZED IN WATER and be FILLED IN THE HOLY SPIRIT and then FOLLOW Jesus Christ every day, then we will never get to know Him and He will turn us away.
Many confess that they believe in Jesus Christ but they do not OBEY Him and they do not follow Him and therefor they do not KNOW Him. They will not enter the kingdom of heaven if they do not OBEY the gospel of Jesus Christ, if they do not DENY themselves, pick up their cross and follow Jesus Christ every day until the very end.
Follow Jesus or you WILL NOT enter the kingdom of Heaven.
May Jesus bless you.

Light does not give in to darkness
Jesus Christ is the Light of the world and He came into the world to take away the sins of the world, to condemn sin in the flesh. He proved that it is possible for flesh and blood to OBEY God, to live Holy and Righteous. Jesus Christ was a man like us, flesh and blood, and He lived holy and righteous, and if we follow Him we DO as He did, we become LIGHT in a world of darkness. And if we follow Jesus Christ then our lives bring judgment on this world because then we ourselves are LIGHT IN DARKNESS. A child of God does not sin. A child of God lives a holy life and does not associate with evil, with wrong, unrighteousness and therefor we bring judgment on this world as Jesus also said.
I read in John 3:19 "And this is the judgment that the Light is come into the world and men loved the darkness rather than the light for their DEEDS WERE EVIL. For everyone who does evil hates the light and does not come to the Light least his deeds should be exposed. But he who practices the truth comes to the Light that his deeds may be manifested as having been wrought in God."
If we follow Jesus Christ we WALK IN THE LIGHT and we are the Light of the world. Light does not compromise with darkness. Light EXPOSES darkness. If you have the LIGHT of Christ in you, you do not compromise with the world, you do not become like them because you are LIGHT. If we compromise with the world then we are darkness, then we are not of Christ and we will perish. We are either light in darkness or we ourselves are darkness and we will perish.
If we follow Jesus Christ WE ARE THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD, we are not sinners and compromisers, we are the IMAGE of Jesus Christ in this world. We are LIGHT and therefor the life that we live judges the world. That is why those who truly follow Jesus Christ will be hated, will be rejected, will be persecuted by this world because this world loves darkness and hates the LIGHT.
Are we LIGHT or are we darkness? Are we of this world or are we of Jesus Christ? If we are LIGHT we will shine.
May Jesus bless you.

Nothing can stop you
Nothing can stop us from doing what Jesus commands us to do because Jesus Christ EMPOWERS us. He gives us the authority to do what He commands us to do. The only thing that will prevent us from doing what Jesus commands is our own unwillingness or if we have not submitted ourselves to Him.
Many believers say they cannot stop sinning, it is because they are SLAVES TO SIN. They are bound by satan because they love sin. If the Son of God has set you free you will be FREE and free indeed and you ARE ABLE to do what Jesus commands you to do, Nothing can stop you. Nothing can stop you from doing what Jesus commands you to do, not even the devil can stop you. But you have to be WILLING to OBEY Jesus.
Jesus Christ EMPOWERS you to do the impossible. He told Peter to walk on water and he did walk on water because he OBEYED Jesus Christ. If Jesus Christ sends you He will open the door and NOTHING WILL STOP YOU from achieving His will.
Jesus Christ is Lord and all things and all people will bow down before Him. If we bow down before Him and we follow Him then nothing will stop us from achieving what he sends us to do.
Nothing can stop you if you follow and obey Jesus Christ.
May Jess bless you.

Don't worry about tomorrow
Jesus Christ said that we should not worry about tomorrow but we must seek the kingdom of God and His righteousness and then all the other things will be added unto us.
The reason why believers are so worried is because they are NOT FOLLOWING Jesus Christ and they have reason to worry. they have reason to worry about their retirement, about all the sorrows of life, because they are not following Jesus Christ. Many trust in Jesus for their salvation but they are not following Him, neither are they obeying Him. They are not going with Him and that is why they will perish. We have to follow Jesus Christ every day. He knows what we need. He knows about tomorrow because He is already there. We don't, we do not even know whether we will be alive tomorrow but Jesus knows. We have to seek Him, His guidance. He is the WAY and the TRUTH and the LIFE, He knows what we need. He knows what He has planned for us in His kingdom because it is the will of God to GIVE His kingdom to His children, to those who follow and obey Jesus Christ. But very few are His children, very few follow Him. They worry about the things of the world, they are concerned about what other people think . They are worried about their future. They worry about everything in life but they are not concerned about their relationship with Jesus Christ and they will perish because all that really matters is our relationship with Jesus Christ, following Him every day step by step.
If we stay with Jesus we will be SAFE because He will guide us, He will teach us and He will supply in all out needs. But we have to submit ourselves to Him, follow and obey Him and DO what He commands us to do, GO where He sends us. We have to be part of His kingdom or else we will perish.
Do not worry about tomorrow. Worry about your relationship with Jesus Christ TODAY and every day and He will guide you into all truth. You will not come short of anything and you will have eternal life IF you stay with Jesus and you endure with Him until the very, very end. Don't worry about tomorrow. Worry about following Jesus Christ TODAY and every day until the very end.
May Jesus bless you.

Moment by Moment One Day at a Time
When we read the words of Jesus Christ
as they are recorded in the gospels then we can easily become
overwhelmed and think it is impossible to live up to His standard of
devotion and obedience, but if we LIVE FOR Jesus ONE DAY AT A TIME,
MOMENT BY MOMENT and we keep our eyes on Him, then it is possible,
because with Jesus Christ ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE. As long as we keep
our focus and our eyes on Jesus Christ IT IS POSSIBLE.

anything about yesterday, but today we can live for Jesus. Tomorrow

Most Christian Believers will PERISH in HELL
Most Christian believers will perish in hell because they refuse to follow Jesus Christ. They KNOW that He is the WAY but they just want to BELIEVE IN HIM while they go their own way, while they live as they please, while they go after the pleasures of the flesh and they have A LIFE.
Jesus Chris gave His life so that those who believe in Him and who FOLLOW Him can have ETERNAL LIFE. But most believers want to have A LIFE, they don't want to have Jesus Christ, they don't want to follow Him, they follow their own mind and therefor they will PERISH.
The only way to have SALVATION is to FOLLOW Jesus Christ because He is the WAY. If you do not follow Him you will not find THE WAY and you will PERISH.
Believing in Jesus Christ will not save you if you do not OBEY Him, DENY YOURSELF, pick up your cross every day and GO AFTER Him, follow Him.
Jesus Christ ALONE is THE WAY to ETERNAL LIFE. FOLLOW Him or you will certainly perish.
May Jesus bless you.
