The REQUIREMENTS for SALVATION



Most
churches want to make salvation easier than it is to attract
membership but all that they are doing is LYING and selling FALSE
SECURITY. They are deceiving the people.


If
you have heard or read the gospel of Jesus Christ and you BELIEVE He
is Lord, God manifested in the flesh, and you WANT to be part of His
eternal kingdom, have forgiveness of past sin and the benefits of
eternal life with Jesus Christ in Heaven, then you have to ACCEPT Him
as YOUR Lord and Master and COMPLY with His REQUIREMENTS.
His
requirements are His words as recorded in the gospels, Matthew, Mark,
Luke and John.
Read
the words of Jesus Christ and count the COST of salvation before
making up your mind whether you want to attempt it. Do not be
mistaken, if you do not KEEP ON COMPLYING with Jesus' requirements
UNTIL THE END, you WILL NOT have salvation and you will have wasted
your time and effort.


If
you really want salvation, this is what you have to do, in short:
Take
ACTION:
ACCEPT
Jesus Christ as your Lord and Master. Bow before Him in PRAYER.
HUMBLE yourself before Him. Ask Him to ACCEPT you and to forgive your
PAST SIN.


REPENT
– Turn away from SIN and UNRIGHTEOUSNESS.
Clean
up your life. Get rid of the filth. Clean out your house, get rid of
those things that will prevent and distract you from OBEYING the
words of Jesus Christ.
Forgive
those who sinned against you or else Jesus will not forgive you.
Make
right with those whom, you have sinned against. Give back what you
have stolen. Ask forgiveness from those whom you harmed.
Get
rid of your idols, your TV, booze, videos, media, pornography and
wrong books.
Stop
doing those worldly activities that are sinful and that will distract
you from OBEYING Jesus.
BREAK
bonds of iniquity, fornication, adultery, homosexuality and wrong
relationships.
DEMONSTRATE
by your DEEDS that you are READY to FOLLOW Jesus Christ.
Show
FRUIT of REPENTANCE, SIN NO MORE.
then
BE
BAPTIZED IN WATER as Jesus commanded.
What
is the meaning of Baptism?
The
apostle Paul describes it in Romans 6
“ 1What
shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin so that grace may
increase? 2May it never be! How shall we who died to sin still
live in it? 3Or do you not know that all of us who have been
baptized into Christ Jesus have been baptized into His
death? 4Therefore we have been buried with Him through baptism
into death, so that as Christ was raised from the dead through the
glory of the Father, so we too might walk in newness of life. 5For
if we have become united with Him in the likeness of His
death, certainly we shall also be in the likeness of His
resurrection, 6knowing this, that our old self was crucified
with Him, in order that our body of sin might be done away
with, so that we would no longer be slaves to sin; 7for he who
has died is freed from sin.
      8Now
if we have died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with
Him, 9knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, is
never to die again; death no longer is master over Him. 10For
the death that He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life
that He lives, He lives to God. 11Even so consider yourselves to
be dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus.


      12Therefore
do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its
lusts, 13and do not go on presenting the members of your body to
sin as instruments of unrighteousness; but present
yourselves to God as those alive from the dead, and your
members as instruments of righteousness to God. 14For
sin shall not be master over you, for you are not under law but under
grace.”


Water baptism is senseless if
we did not REPENT and do not show FRUIT OF REPENTANCE.


DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME TO GET
BAPTIZED IF YOU ARE STILL LIVING IN WILLFUL SIN.


Through our OBEDIENCE to
Jesus Christ we DEMONSTRATE that we are READY to FOLLOW Him and to
RECEIVE the Holy Spirit that He promised to those who OBEY Him. We
NEED the Holy Spirit in order to follow Jesus Christ and DO His will.


Jesus
Christ is not present here on earth in a PHYSICAL BODY. He is present
by HIS SPIRIT, the Holy Spirit that was first given on the day of
Pentecost. The Holy Spirit will guide us into all TRUTH as Jesus
promised in John 16:12-16
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 will glorify Me, for He
will take of Mine and will disclose it to you. 15“All
things that the Father has are Mine; therefore I said that He takes
of Mine and will disclose it to you.”


We
CANNOT follow Jesus Christ and DO what is pleasing to Him WITHOUT
the Holy Spirit that was promised to ALL who OBEY Him, who REPENT and
are BAPTIZED. We read the words of Peter in Acts 2:38.
38Peter said to
them, “Repent, and each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus
Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will 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 will call to Himself.”


Once
we have been baptized in water we are ready to SEEK the BAPTISM IN
THE HOLY SPIRIT. All those who receive the Baptism in the Holy Spirit
receive a HEAVENLY TONGUE, they have the ABILITY TO SPEAK IN TONGUES
immediately and until the end of their lives. Go and read the book of
Acts. ALL those who believed, repented and were baptized received the
baptism in the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues.


It
was only AFTER the disciples received the Holy Spirit that they went
out and preached the gospel of Jesus Christ WITH POWER, under
GUIDANCE OF the Holy Spirit. They went where the Holy Spirit GUIDED
them. Go and read the book of Acts and you will see that it is true.


The
first believers PRAYED and WAITED on the Lord Jesus. They PREPARED
themselves, EMPTIED themselves of SIN and CLEANSED their MINDS and
their BODIES to be SUITABLE VESSELS for the Holy Spirit to dwell in.
The Holy Spirit does not dwell in a filthy vessel.


PREPARE
yourself, then SEEK the INFILLING with the Holy Spirit, be FILLED
with the Spirit of Christ until it OVERFLOWS through your mouth in
HEAVENLY TONGUES and PRAISES to Jesus.


Only
then are you READY to start FOLLOWING Jesus Christ and be GUIDED by
His Spirit in you. You can only be guided by the Holy Spirit if you
KEEP ON SEEKING HIS guidance THROUGH PRAYER, NOT THROUGH BIBLE STUDY
AND THROUGH LISTENING TO OTHER PEOPLE.
We
do not receive Holy Spirit guidance through church attendance,
studies, religious exercises and fellowship with other believers. It
is through PRAYER and HEARING FROM JESUS. We have to follow HIM,
under guidance of the Holy Spirit. It is only when we are SUBMITTED
and OBEDIENTLY DOING what He TELLS us to do that we can SERVE Him and
BEAR FRUIT, DO the WORK that He prepared for us to do in His Kingdom.
Only then can we SERVE Jesus Christ in His kingdom. We then
EXPERIENCE the kingdom of God that the world cannot see because we
SERVE the King, Jesus Christ under DIRECT GUIDANCE of His Spirit, The
Holy Spirit. If we do not OBEY Jesus and keep on obeying Him until
the end we SEPARATE ourselves from Him and His kingdom and we will
PERISH. Salvation is through OBEYING and SERVING the King, Jesus
Christ until the very end. Those who withdraw before the end are not
worthy of Him.
Have
you counted the COST of Salvation? Are you READY to SERVE and OBEY
Jesus Christ until the very end?


May
Jesus bless you.

Limitations of the Bible



Most professing Christians do not really know Jesus Christ. They only believe in the Bible. Their faith, their insight and their knowledge is limited to that which  they heard from others and from what they have read in the Bible. Even those who are Bible scholars do not know Jesus Christ and they do not have salvation.

The Bible is a BOOK. It is LIMITED. It tells us ABOUT Jesus Christ, it tells us about God but it was written by PEOPLE who wrote what they knew and they did not know everything.  We cannot describe God. We cannot DEFINE God. That which is known about God was recorded in the scriptures by people who had LIMITED INSIGHT. The Bible does not describe everything, it does not describe the Universe. It does not describe the vastness of the kingdom of God and that is why many people lose faith when they start studying the Bible. They look for answers in the Bible. The Bible produces more questions than answers and rightfully so because Jesus Christ is GOD. He has all the answers and He promised the Holy Spirit that will teach us and will guide us into all truth. It is impossible for one book to contain all the wisdom and all the words of God.

Jesus Christ IS the wisdom of God, Jesus Christ IS God. Jesus promised His disciples that He will send the Holy Spirit to teach and guide them.

We read in John 16:12

“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 will glorify Me, for He will take of Mine and will disclose it to you. 15“All things that the Father has are Mine; therefore I said that He takes of Mine and will disclose it to you.”

All wisdom and all knowledge belongs to God, belongs to Jesus Christ and He shares His secrets with those who follow Him. Jesus Christ REVEALS things to certain people AS HE WISHES, but nobody has the full knowledge of God.

We walk by faith and we learn from Jesus Christ IF we seek Him, IF we are guided by the Holy Spirit.

The apostle John who wrote the gospel of John and recorded the words of Jesus. He also wrote at the end of that gospel, John 21:24 He said:

"This is the disciple who is testifying to these things and wrote these things, and we know that his testimony is true.

      25And there are also many other things which Jesus did, which if they were written in detail, I suppose that even the world itself would not contain the books that would be written."

Knowing the Bible is not knowing Jesus Christ. Even if you

 know the whole Bible you know very little. We can only know MORE if we are taught and guided by the Holy Spirit. The Bible is LIMITED. It's just a BOOK, a collection of SELECTED scriptures that testifies about Jesus Christ and about God but IT IS NOT CONCLUSIVE.

Jesus Christ is the WAY and the LIFE and the TRUTH, If we KNOW Him and we stay with Him He will reveal Himself to us and we will learn the TRUTH. The Bible only points us to Jesus Christ but the Bible is NOT THE WORD OF GOD. Jesus Christ is the WORD OF GOD, He is God. The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of God who will guide those who follow Him  into all truth BUT we have to KNOW Jesus and be CLOSE to Him. We must FOLLOW Him and LISTEN and He will TEACH us and He will GUIDE us. Without Jesus Christ we know nothing and we are nothing. All we need is Jesus Christ .Seek Him and you will find Him. Seek the TRUTH and you will find Jesus Christ.

May Jesus bless you.

The secret of daily HEARING God's VOICE



Jesus Christ said:"My sheep HEAR
My VOICE, they LISTEN and they FOLLOW Me." Also that "they
will not go after strangers because they do not know the voice of the
strangers."
We cannot follow Jesus Christ if we do
not KNOW His VOICE, if we do not have the Holy Spirit and if we are
not led by the Holy Spirit. There are many voices going out in the
world and it is only those who know the voice of Jesus who will
recognize His voice and follow Him.
We cannot follow Jesus Christ if we do
not GO AFTER Him, if we do not SEEK His kingdom and His
righteousness. Jesus will not go after us. We have to go after Him
and follow Him.
Most believers do not know the voice of
Jesus Christ. Many who are born again never learned to LISTEN to His
voice, they never learned to FOLLOW Him and that is why they do not
know His voice neither do they follow Him.
If we are truly disciples of Jesus
Christ we will KNOW His VOICE. We will LISTEN and FOLLOW Him EVERY
DAY. We cannot follow Jesus part of the time, part of the way when it
pleases us. We cannot follow Jesus Christ if we do not turn away from
our own plans, from our own affairs and go after Him, if we do not
put Him FIRST and SEEK Him, seek to HEAR from Him, then we cannot be
His disciples, we cannot do the works that He prepared for us to do.
We have to DENY ourselves and pick up
our cross, FOLLOW Jesus Christ IN SPITE OF persecution, rejection and
temptation. In spite of all that we must put Jesus Christ FIRST and
go after Him every day. WAIT on Him, LISTEN and He will SPEAK to us.
He will guide us and He will teach us.
If we truly follow Jesus Christ we will
hear His voice every day. We might not hear what we WANT to hear but
we will hear what He wants to tell us, what He wants us to know . If
we follow Jesus we will HEAR His VOICE every day.


May Jesus bless you.

Holy Spirit Guidance Clarified



The kingdom of God is of a different REALM, it is in a different DIMENSION
from the physical that we
experience around us and the only way that we can KNOW what is
happening in the kingdom of God and what God is doing is if we HEAR
from Him, if we are led by the Holy Spirit.
The only way that we can function as
the body of Christ is if we are guided by the Holy Spirit, if we
receive our instructions and guidance from the Head, Jesus Christ
Himself. "Those who are led by the Spirit of God they are the
sons of God."
I often get asked how the Holy Spirit
guides a disciple. and I want to share with you from my experience
what I have been taught by the Holy Spirit.
In clarifying this subject I want to
answer these questions. Firstly: WHAT does the Holy Spirit tell us?
The Holy Spirit gives us CLEAR GUIDANCE
and INSTRUCTION. When the Holy Spirit speaks to you, you KNOW exactly
what you need to do and you understand, He gives you INSTRUCTION.
The Holy Spirit also REBUKES us . The
Holy Spirit has rebuked me and CORRECTED me harshly when I went
wrong.
The Holy Spirit also gives us
REVELATION of the UNKNOWN, of lies that people tell us. He tells us
the TRUTH about circumstances. He lets us KNOW the TRUTH.
The Holy Spirit also commands us to
action. He SENDS us to do certain things and He tells us exactly
where to go, to whom to go and what we have to go and DO there. The
Holy Spirit guidance is always CLEAR. You KNOW that it comes from
HIM. There is no doubt in your mind whatsoever WHO spoke to you and
WHO is sending you. It is not a FEELING, it is not just an URGE. It
is a FIRM DIRECT GUIDANCE. You KNOW for sure.
The Holy Spirit also CLARIFIES many
things that we do not understand. He clarifies the meaning of
scripture. There are many interpretations of scripture that come from
the minds of men.
Why are there so many different
interpretations? It is because they do not come from the Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of TRUTH who will guide us into all
TRUTH, He will tell us the TRUTH and there is only ONE TRUTH. If you
have heard from Jesus Christ then you have heard the TRUTH. Don't
listen to other people, don't trust other people because then you
will be deceived. You have to trust the Holy Spirit and He will guide
you into ALL TRUTH.
People want to know HOW the Holy Spirit
speaks. The Holy Spirit speaks in many different ways. He is
UNPREDICTABLE, UNPRESCRIBEABLE and INDEFINABLE. He speaks AS HE
PLEASES, and those who are TUNED IN, who SEEK Him, they will HEAR
Him.
He sometimes speaks in a VOICE, you
HEAR it in your SPIRIT. You hear it LOUD AND CLEAR. Sometimes He
shouts and although other people might not hear it, you have heard it
it and you experience it.
He also speaks in DREAMS. Not all
dreams are from the Holy Spirit but when the Holy Spirit speaks to us
in a dream, we will UNDERSTAND that it comes from Him. We have to
PRAY about all dreams. If we are not sure about anything we must PRAY
and the Holy Spirit will give us CONFIRMATION and CLARIFICATION.
Don't run to other people. If Jesus
speaks to you, go back to HIM. We have to be led by the Holy Spirit,
not by other people and their interpretations. We have ONE TEACHER
and that is Jesus Christ, He GUIDES us by His SPIRIT. Don't find
yourself some other teachers, you WILL be deceived. Go to Jesus and
STAY WITH HIM and He will guide and teach you.
The Holy Spirit sometimes IMPLANTS, He
just GIVES you WISDOM that you KNOW, does not come from yourself. You
might be in a situation that you do not know what to do. It might be
in a relationship with other people, it might be a work situation. In
all things we have to ask wisdom from God who gives to all men
freely. Maybe you do not know what to answer somebody who asks you
something. In your heart PRAY and say:"Lord what must I say"
and He imparts WISDOM, He puts WISDOM in you in that moment He puts
the words in you mind, in your heart, IMPLANTED wisdom, IMPLANTED
WORD OF GOD, if we ASK Him and if we TRUST Him.
The Holy Spirit also speaks to us
through SICKNESS and CIRCUMSTANCES. Nothing happens without reason
in the life of a child of God. If we follow Jesus Christ we belong to
Him, He is our LIFE. He GUIDES OUR FOOTSTEPS. If we get sick or if
things do not work out the way that we planned, if God destroys our
plans then we have to go and pray and ask Jesus WHY. "Lord why
am I sick? Lord why do my plans not work out? What is the message?"
Jesus Christ speaks to us through ALL THINGS. all things are His
servants. The Holy Spirit uses all things to speak to us but it is
for us to ALWAYS go back to Him, always ASK, always SUBMIT ourselves
to Him and He will give us GUIDANCE and UNDERSTANDING.
The Holy Spirit gives us UNDERSTANDING.
There are many things that we do not understand in this world. There
are many things that we might not understand, what Jesus said or what
is written in the Bible BUT UNDERSTANDING of the TRUTH comes from the
Holy Spirit.
One night I clearly heard these
words:"1 John 5:20," It was not a verse that I had
memorized or knew what was written there. I read it:
"And we know that the Son of
God has come, and has given us UNDERSTANDING so that
we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is
true, in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the
true God and eternal life."
He gives us UNDERSTANDING of things
that people marvel about, things that are hidden to the world and
hidden to everybody else.
What is the REQUIREMENT to HEAR from
the Holy Spirit, to follow His guidance? 
We have to be ABSOLUTELY SERIOUS and
WILLING to do the will of God. We have to be EAGER to follow and OBEY
Jesus Christ and above all we have to TRUST Him.
If we do not TRUST Him we will waver
and if we waver we are like the surf of the sea, the waves of the sea
tossed to an fro, UNSTABLE. Our TRUST in Jesus and the Holy Spirit
must be absolutely UNWAVERING, and we must OBEY Him. If we disobey
Him, if we doubt Him, then we can not please Him. Without faith it is
impossible to please God. If we are UNSURE we must ASK Him to
CONFIRM, to speak to us again. But we have to trust HIM and nobody
else.
Jesus said that every branch in Him
that does not bear fruit will get CUT OFF AND BURNED. The only way
that we can be fruitful in the kingdom of God is if we follow and
obey the guidance of the Holy Spirit. We have to receive our
instruction and guidance from the HEAD, Jesus Christ or else we
cannot function in the Body of Christ.
Those who are led by the Spirit of God
they are the sons of God.
Do not look to other people. Do not
seek their advice. go to Jesus. seek Him with all your heart, ASK HIM
and He will guide you. Obey Him and He will TEACH you. Do not look
for examples from other people. Receive your guidance form Jesus
Christ Himself. Remember, we have to follow Jesus Christ and not
other people. Jesus Christ is the WAY, the TRUTH and the LIFE. We
have ONE Teacher, ONE Master, ONE Lord, ONE King of His Kingdom whom
we have to serve if we want eternal life and that is Jesus Christ ,
nobody else. Seek Jesus, seek the Holy Spirit guidance . He will
teach you and He will guide you into all truth.


May Jesus bless you.

The Mysteries of Jesus Christ



Jesus Christ is a MYSTERY. People think
that they can figure our God and that they can predict what God will
do next from the prophecies, the scriptures. They receive dreams and
revelation and then they predict when Jesus Christ is coming and what
will happen in the world next but things do not work out the way that
they thought.
That is because GOD IS A MYSTERY. Jesus
Christ cannot be predicted. Jesus shares His mysteries with His
children, with His disciples, those who follow Him but He never gives
them the plan. He tells them to follow Him by FAITH. The LISTEN to
Him. They HEAR His VOICE and they FOLLOW. They GO where He sends them
but they do not know what will happen next. They do not know where
they are going next. They follow Him by FAITH.
Without FAITH it is impossible to
please God. Jesus Christ said to Nicodemus, 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. 7“Do
not be amazed that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’ 8“The
wind blows where it wishes and you hear the sound of it, but do not
know where it comes from and where it is going; so is everyone who is
born of the Spirit.”
Those who follow Jesus Christ do not
know why He is sending them but they GO because they HEAR His VOICE.
His sheep LISTEN to His VOICE and they FOLLOW Him. They DO His will.
They GO where He sends them but they do not know His PLAN.
Jesus Christ IS the WAY, the TRUTH and
the LIFE and He is MYSTERY. We follow Jesus Christ IN FAITH after we
have heard FROM HIM, and we follow him because we KNOW Him, we know
His VOICE and we TRUST Him. We are His DISCIPLES.
We never had a plan to ever come to the
US but Jesus sent us here and we came. We never had a plan to leave
but unexpectedly He told us to leave and then He told us to return,
for HIS PLAN and for HIS PURPOSE.
Those who are LED by the Spirit of God
THEY are the sons of God BUT they never understand God. They walk and
live a MYSTERY. They become part of the kingdom of God that is a
MYSTERY. Those who are born of the Spirit of God and who FOLLOW Jesus
Christ, are like the wind. You don't know where they are coming from
and where they are going, they do not even know themselves because
they are of the Spirit of God. They become part of the MYSTERY, the
kingdom of God.
Are you born of the Spirit of God? Are
you truly born again? Are you living in God's MYSTERY? Do you walk by
FAITH and not by sight. Do you follow Jesus Christ because you KNOW
Him, you TRUST Him and you are LED by His Spirit, you are PART of
Him?
Jesus Christ is a MYSTERY and His Body,
those in whom He dwells, they are also a mystery because they are
part of Him. Are you part of God's mystery? are you part of the
kingdom of God?


May Jesus bless you.

Total Dependence



The typical worldly Christian is INDEPENDENT, GIFTED AND SUCCESSFUL in the eyes of the world. The typical worldly Christian does not need or want the Holy Spirit. They have their Bible and their videos and their teachings and they just believe in Jesus Christ for salvation but they have their salvation all worked out and they can prove it to you from selected Bible scriptures.

The true disciples of Jesus Christ are utterly dependent on Him. They are rejected, despised, and regarded as foolish by the worldly Christians. Often the true disciples of Jesus Christ are illiterate, they are poor but they know how dependent they on Jesus Christ.  They do not trust in their own education or their own means or their own wisdom. They know to trust in Jesus Christ and they know that without Him they can do nothing. They depend on the wisdom and the guidance of the Holy Spirit. They are LED by the Holy Spirit. The are totally dependent on the Holy Spirit.

We read in John 15:1 Jesus Christ said:

1“I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. 2“Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit, He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit, He prunes it so that it may bear more fruit. 3“You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you. 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."

The true disciples are LIKE Jesus. Jesus said that He did not DO or say anything of His own initiative. He came to do the will of the Father. What the Father told Him to do He did, what He told Him to say that He spoke.

The true disciples do the works of Christ and they speak the words of Christ.

We read in Ephesians 2:9 the apostle Paul writes:

 8For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; 9NOT AS A RESULT OF WORKS, so that no one may boast. 10For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus FOR GOOD WORKS, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them.”

We are called and prepared for GOOD WORKS. We are not saved by the works that we did before we believed in Jesus Christ but we are called TO DO THOSE WORKS for which He called us and if we do not perform those works in utter obedience to Him and in utter dependence on Him then we are worthless for the kingdom of God and we will get cut off. Every branch in Him that does not bear fruit will get cut off and burned.  We cannot do the WORKS OF GOD of our own initiative and wisdom. It is only through our utter dependence on Jesus Christ and being LED by the Holy Spirit that we can do those things, those works that He has prepared for us to do.

Those who truly follow Jesus Christ KNOW how dependent they are on Him. Without Him they can do NOTHING.

Jesus Christ is the WAY, the TRUTH and the LIFE. If we do not FOLLOW Him, HEAR his voice LISTEN to Him and OBEY Him, if we are not utterly dependent on Him we cannot do what He called us to do and we will get cut off and burned.

May Jesus bless you.

Real Church



Real church is not Bible study or a sports bar or a gym, or a coffee shop doughnuts and coffee or a tea party, like most Christians have come to believe. Real church is about an intimate meeting with Jesus Christ.

Jesus Christ said:"My Father's house will be a house of prayer for all nations but you have changed it into a robber's den.  Real Church is when the saints come together to worship God in Spirit and in truth, when they come to be taught by the Holy Spirit. It is not about Bible study or pep-talks to make you feel good. It is about being taught by the Holy Spirit. It is when the saints come together to pray and worship God and wait on Him until He reveals Himself in and to them. It is then that the gifts of the Holy Spirit operate through those who are filled with the Holy Spirit, when they pray and they receive revelation and prophecy.

Real church is where the saints come together to share their testimonies, to encourage each other to follow Jesus, to endure until the end. Real church is not a place where sinners and sinning Christians or believers feel welcome. They are CONVICTED by the Holy Spirit. It is a place where sinners fall on their faces in conviction and they cry out to God for forgiveness. It is a place where the presence of God is felt.

Real church is not a church building. It is a meeting of the saints where real saints get together in houses or wherever  they come together to share Jesus Christ, to worship Him. Real church is not a Sunday affair, it is an every day affair, because those who follow Jesus Christ, follow Him EVERY DAY.

Real church is not a gathering of sinning believers. It is where two or three gather in the Name of Jesus Christ to glorify HIM. Real church is not about US, it is about Jesus Christ. It is not a social gathering, it is when the saints gather to glorify God, to come into His presence, to seek Him, to pray and to learn from Him. Sinners cannot bear it to be in real church. They either run away or they repent and find Jesus Christ.

Are you part of the REAL CHURCH, the BODY OF CHRIST in which He dwells, the Holy priesthood through whom the Holy Spirit operates, the REAL Body of Christ in which the Holy Spirit dwells?

Are you part of that REAL CHURCH or do you go to the false churches of this world? If you are not part of the REAL CHURCH and you do not experience REAL CHURCH then you are not of the kingdom of God and you do not belong to Jesus Christ.

Seek Jesus with all your power.Submit to Him, OBEY Him, be filled with the Holy Spirit, worship Him in spirit and in truth and you will become part of the REAL CHURCH.

May Jesus bless you.

The Bible is NOT Mark of the Beast



There is a deceptive false teaching
going around that the Bible is mark of the beast. The scriptures from
which the Bible was compiled are not the Word of God, they are the
writings of people who had encounters with God. Some heard from God.
The gospels Matthew, Mark, Luke and John were written by people who
followed Jesus, who knew Jesus and others like Luke investigated what
happened in that time and he recorded the account of the eye
witnesses. He recorded what Jesus Christ said and did.
Salvation is not through studying the
Bible. Salvation is through believing in in Jesus Christ and OBEYING
His words, the GOSPEL of Jesus Christ, that which He commanded those
who believe in Him, to DO. Salvation is through OBEDIENCE to Jesus
Christ, His words as recorded in the gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and
John.
Many people idolize the Bible. To them
it is an idol because sadly they think that through Bible study and
through knowing the scriptures they will have salvation. That is not
true.
Salvation comes through a relationship
with Jesus Christ, through being born again of the Spirit of God and
that happens when we OBEY the gospel of Jesus Christ, the words that
he spoke. Salvation is ONLY through obedience to Jesus Christ as
recorded in the four gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Those who
disobey Jesus will perish. Those who believe in Him and who OBEY
Him, they will have eternal life if they keep on following Him until
the very end, because if we OBEY the words of Jesus, REPENT from sin
and from going after our own desires AND we are baptized in water,
Jesus promised the Holy Spirit who will teach us and who will guide
us into ALL TRUTH. The Holy Spirit will bring us into relationship
with Jesus Christ, not the Bible.
The Holy Spirit will teach and guide us
IF we OBEY the gospel of Jesus Christ and get to know Jesus Christ
FOR REAL.
The Bible is the testimony of Jesus
Christ and the Holy Spirit will ENLIGHTEN, EXPLAIN to us what is
written in the scriptures IF we LISTEN to and are TAUGHT by the Holy
Spirit. The Holy Spirit will also CONFIRM that which is written in
the gospels, He will teach us ALL THINGS.
The reason why there are so many
churches with different doctrines and theories, all from the same
Bible, is because those people are not led by the Holy Spirit, they
follow their own mind. There is ONLY ONE TRUTH and the Holy Spirit
will tell us the TRUTH, ONLY ONE TRUTH. That is why we must seek and
follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit will CONFIRM
the words of Jesus Christ as recorded in the gospels and He will
REMIND us of those words.
Those people who call the Bible the
Mark of the Beast DENY the words of Jesus Christ as recorded in the
gospels. They say is it Old Testament. The words of Jesus Christ are
the words of eternal life, the ONLY words of Eternal Life to those
who OBEY them. If we do not OBEY the words of Jesus Christ, that
which He commanded, that is also recorded in the gospels, we WILL NOT
have eternal life.
Those people who call the Bible the
Mark of the Beast do not obey the words of Jesus Christ as recorded
in the gospel, they say it is old Testament. They claim to be led by
the Holy Spirit. They LIE because the Holy Spirit will guide us into
OBEYING the words of Jesus Christ. He will REMIND us of those words
and He will teach us, He will give us UNDERSTANDING.
The Bible is NOT as many call it, the
WORD OF GOD. Jesus Christ is the word of God. The Bible is also NOT
the Mark of the Beast. The Bible is the TESTIMONY of Jesus Christ
that leads us to believe in Jesus Christ but if we do not get to KNOW
Jesus Christ Himself for REAL and if we are not led by the Holy
Spirit and we do not follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit, we are
NOT children of God and we will not enter His kingdom.
Salvation is about KNOWING, FOLLOWING,
LISTENING to and OBEYING Jesus Christ until the very end. Salvation
is about the GOSPEL of Jesus Christ, the GOSPEL of the Kingdom.
Go read the words of Jesus as recorded
in the gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, especially John, and
ask the Holy Spirit to give you UNDERSTANDING and He will guide you
into the WHOLE TRUTH. You will truly get to know Jesus Christ FOR
REAL. Jesus Christ will say to many people on the day that they
die:"Go away I never knew you." We can only know Jesus
Christ through the REVELATION and the GUIDANCE of the Holy Spirit.
Follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit. He will give you
UNDERSTANDING of the words of Jesus, of the scriptures and He will
guide you into all truth. You will get to KNOW Jesus Christ for REAL.


May Jesus bless you.

Jesus Christ is not REAL to most Christians



To most professing Christians Jesus Christ is not  a REALITY, He is not ALIVE. They have no testimony of their relationship with Jesus Christ. They have no testimony of answer to prayer and of Holy Spirit guidance. They do not know Jesus Christ. They can quote you Bible verses and they claim salvation based on Bible verses, scripture. They say they believe in Jesus Christ, but they don't know Him.

That is a serious problem because Jesus Christ said that He will say to many people, on the day that they die:"Go away I never knew you, you workers of wickedness." Jesus Christ said that His sheep HEAR His VOICE, they LISTEN and they FOLLOW Him.

Very few professing Christians know the voice of Jesus Christ. They will tell you He speaks through the Bible. They believe He is DEAD, they believe He is a BOOK, they do not know Him.

Jesus Christ promised the Holy Spirit to those who OBEY His words, who REPENT, turn away from their wicked ways and are baptized in water and the Holy Spirit will TEACH and GUIDE every serious follower of Jesus Christ, will GUIDE them into all TRUTH.  Most believers will tell you that the Bible is the ABSOLUTE truth. The scriptures were written by people who knew Jesus Christ but it is not CONCLUSIVE, it cannot CONTAIN Jesus Christ.

Jesus Christ is GOD Almighty. He is LORD. He is indescribable but He reveals Himself to those who SEEK Him and who OBEY the gospel, who REPENT and who are baptized and who SEEK Him, who SEEK the  baptism in the Holy Spirit and the GUIDANCE of the Holy Spirit, Jesus REVEALS Himself to those and they truly get to know Him. They do not know Him from other people's testimonies or from Bible verses. They know Him for real  because they walk with Him day by day. The are guided by His Holy Spirit. They know Him for REAL.

Do you know Jesus Christ for REAL? Or do you believe in something that you do not know. Going yo church, reading your Bible and being religious, quoting Bible verses, does not make you a Christian. it does not make you a child of God. You have to be born again of the Spirit of God and be led by the Holy Spirit Who will reveal Jesus Christ to you and you will get to know Him for REAL? Do you KNOW Jesus Christ for real?

May Jesus bless you.

My Calling My Duty



Jesus Christ has called many to follow Him but very few have answered to that call. Jesus Christ called the apostle Paul on the Damascus road. Those who were with him did not hear the voice but Paul heard His voice and he answered to the call.

Jesus Christ called me also. One night I woke up and I heard this voice. I heard it but nobody else heard it. This voice said to me:"Go to whomever I send you and take their hand and put their hand in My hand and I will guide them." That was Jesus Christ who called me. I answered to the call and I do go where He sends me to take whomever He sends me to, to put their hand in His hand so that they can follow Him.

Jesus Christ has called many but few were willing to answer to that call. We read in Matthew 22:!

"Jesus spoke to them again in parables, saying, 2“The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a king who gave a wedding feast for his son. 3“And he sent out his slaves to call those who had been invited to the wedding feast, and they were unwilling to come. 4“Again he sent out other slaves saying, ‘Tell those who have been invited, “Behold, I have prepared my dinner; my oxen and my fattened livestock are all butchered and everything is ready; come to the wedding feast.”’ 5“But they paid no attention and went their way, one to his own farm, another to his business, 6and the rest seized his slaves and mistreated them and killed them. 7“But the king was enraged, and he sent his armies and destroyed those murderers and set their city on fire. 8“Then he said to his slaves, ‘The wedding is ready, but those who were invited were not worthy. 9‘Go therefore to the main highways, and as many as you find there, invite to the wedding feast.’ 10“Those slaves went out into the streets and gathered together all they found, both evil and good; and the wedding hall was filled with dinner guests.

      11“But when the king came in to look over the dinner guests, he saw a man there who was not dressed in wedding clothes, 12and he said to him, ‘Friend, how did you come in here without wedding clothes?’ And the man was speechless. 13“Then the king said to the servants, ‘Bind him hand and foot, and throw him into the outer darkness; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’ 14“For many are called, but few are chosen.”

Jesus has called many but those who were called were not worthy of Him. They were not interested and He has been sending His servants out to call anybody to come to that feast. Many of those are the believers of today. They believe they are saved but they do not have wedding clothes on. They are not pure and holy . They have not been sanctified. They are not worthy of Jesus Christ. They will be cast out in utter darkness. Many have received the message. Many have been warned to prepare themselves, to be pure and holy but very few answered to that call. Very few have wedding clothes on. Very few have repented of their wicked ways. Very few are clothed in holiness and righteousness and obedience to Jesus Christ.

Jesus has called many. He has called you also dear friend. Do you have wedding clothes on? Did you answer to the call and are you doing the task for which He called you? Are you serving the Master? Have you become a servant of the kingdom of God and are you worthy to sit at the feast meal of the Master?

May Jesus bless you.

Speaking with AUTHORITY



We can only speak about Jesus Christ
with authority if we KNOW Him, if we have a real testimony of Jesus
Christ. The disciples knew Jesus Christ and therefor they spoke with
authority.
The apostle Paul met Jesus Christ and
therefor he spoke with authority. He did not speak from what he heard
from other people. He spoke from his relationship with Jesus Christ
and from that which Jesus Christ taught him. If we do not know Jesus
Christ and we do not have a testimony of WALKING WITH Jesus, our
RELATIONSHIP with Jesus Christ, then we cannot speak with authority.
Jesus Christ is REAL and ALIVE and He
reveals Himself to all those who seek Him, who OBEY His words. They
get to know Him for REAL. Most believers can only speak about Jesus
Christ from what they have read in the Bible, from what they have
heard from preachers and other people and that is why they have no
authority. They cannot speak with authority.
Do you know Jesus Christ for real? Do
you have a TESTIMONY and can you speak about Jesus Christ with
AUTHORITY?


May Jesus bless you.

Baptism does not make you Born Again



To be baptized in water is an absolute requirement for those who believe in Jesus Christ and wish to follow Him. But water baptism does not make you BORN AGAIN. If you have not repented from sin and from going after the desires of the flesh then water baptism is a senseless exercise.

When John the baptist was preaching repentance many came to be baptized, the Pharisees and the Sadducees also but John the Baptist rebuked them. We read in Matthew 3:7 about John the Baptist: "But when He saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming for baptism he said to them: You brood of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath to come therefor bear fruit in keeping with repentance." It is no use to be baptized in water if you do not bear fruit of repentance. We first have to repent, stop sinning and commit to follow and obey Jesus Christ. We have to first have a SPIRITUAL MEETING with Jesus Christ and be changed inside, be born of the Spirit of God before we are baptized in water or else water baptism has no meaning.

Many people are baptized in water and then they call themselves BORN AGAIN. They are not born again, they just got wet.

Water baptism is an absolute requirement, obedience to Jesus Christ, for those who have repented and committed to follow Him. Have you been born again of the Spirit of God and of water? Or were you just baptized?

May Jesus bless you.

Why you HAVE TO be baptized


To be baptized in water AFTER repentance, is a COMMANDMENT of Jesus Christ and an ABSOLUTE REQUIREMENT for salvation.
Jesus Christ Himself was baptized in water. John the Baptist was at first not willing to baptize Jesus. We read in Matthew 3:14,15.
 "14But John tried to prevent Him, saying, “I have need to be baptized by You, and do You come to me?” 15But Jesus answering said to him, “Permit it at this time; for in this way it is fitting for us to FULFILL ALL RIGHTEOUSNESS.” Then he permitted Him.'
To be baptized in water after believing in Jesus Christ, means to FULFILL ALL RIGHTEOUSNESS because to be baptized in water is a COMMANDMENT that comes from God. Jesus Christ did not say or do anything on His own initiative. he came to do the will of the Father and thus He spoke the words of the Father.
We read in John 5:30 Jesus said:  “I can do nothing on My own initiative. As I hear, I judge; and My judgment is just, because I do not seek My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me. "
We also read in John 8:28 Jesus said:" I do nothing on My own initiative, but I speak these things as the Father taught Me."
Whatever Jesus commanded we have to DO to have eternal life. we have to OBEY Him.
We read in Matthew 28:19,20 Jesus commanded:  "Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. "
Jesus Christ COMMANDED these things.
We read in Mark 16:15,16.
And He said to His disciples “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."
That is also the reason why many believers do not receive the Holy Spirit, because Jesus Christ gives His Holy Spirit to those who OBEY Him, who REPENT and who are BAPTIZED IN WATER.
We read the words of Peter in Acts 5:32 "And we are witnesses of these things; and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who OBEY Him."
Have you OBEYED Jesus Christ since you believed? Did you REPENT of sin. Were you baptized in water and did you receive the baptism in the Holy Spirit that Jesus promised to those who OBEY Him?
May Jesus bless you.

Grace Gospel Too good to be true



The so called GRACE GOSPEL that is
preached by many people is TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE. It is not true, it is
a LIE. You cannot just believe in Jesus Christ and have salvation, we
have to OBEY Jesus Christ to have salvation.
John the Baptist was the forerunner of
Jesus Christ. Let us read his words are they are recorded in Matthew
3:
" 1Now in those days John the
Baptist came, preaching in the wilderness of Judea, saying, 2“Repent,
for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”
3For this is the one referred to by
Isaiah the prophet when he said,
            “THE
VOICE OF ONE CRYING IN THE WILDERNESS,
            ‘MAKE
READY THE WAY OF THE LORD,
            MAKE HIS
PATHS STRAIGHT!’”
4Now John himself had a garment of
camel’s hair and a leather belt around his waist; and his food was
locusts and wild honey. 5Then Jerusalem was going out to him,
and all Judea and all the district around the Jordan; 6and they
were being baptized by him in the Jordan River, as they confessed
their sins.
      7But
when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming for baptism,
he said to them, “You brood of vipers, who warned you to flee from
the wrath to come? 8“Therefore bear fruit in keeping with
repentance; 9and do not suppose that you can say to yourselves,
‘We have Abraham for our father’; for I say to you that from
these stones God is able to raise up children to Abraham. 10“The
axe is already laid at the root of the trees; therefore every tree
that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.
      11“As
for me, I baptize you with water for repentance, but He who is coming
after me is mightier than I, and I am not fit to remove His sandals;
He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. 12“His
winnowing fork is in His hand, and He will thoroughly clear His
threshing floor; and He will gather His wheat into the barn, but He
will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.”
Jesus Christ will not brush over sin.
We have to be pure and holy to come into His presence. We have to be
WORTHY of Him to enter His kingdom. We have to REPENT and bear fruit
in keeping with repentance to live and walk and be in the presence of
Jesus Christ. We have to bear GOOD FRUIT, the fruit that comes from a
relationship with Jesus Christ, being in UTTER OBEDIENCE to Him in
order to enter the kingdom of heaven.
Let us read the words of Jesus as they
are recorded in John 15:1
 1“I am the true vine, and My
Father is the vinedresser. 2“Every branch in Me that does not
bear fruit, He takes away; and every branch that bears
fruit, He prunes it so that it may bear more fruit. 3“You are
already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you. 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 "
The only way that we can ABIDE IN
Jesus Christ is if we OBEY Him, we OBEY His words and if we FOLLOW
Him, if we are LED by the Holy Spirit and we DO what He GUIDES us
into doing. If we do not follow Jesus Christ and we do not bear good
fruit we will get CUT OFF AND BURNED. It is not just a matter of
believing .
Jesus said:"Narrow is the door
that leads to life and few there be that find it." He warned us
to STRIVE HARD to enter the NARROW DOOR because many will try but
few will be able. There is no easy way of entering the kingdom of
heaven.
The cheap GRACE GOSPEL is a lie from
satan. There is only one way and that is OBEY Jesus Christ. REPENT,
turn away from sin and from serving yourself and going after the lust
of the flesh and GO AFTER Jesus Christ, be BAPTIZED IN WATER and SEEK
the BAPTISM IN THE HOLY SPIRIT, the Spirit of Christ so that He
will indwell you and guide you into doing His will, so that you can
ABIDE IN HIM, if you follow Him and stay with Him until the very end.
Do not believe the cheap grace gospel.
Without holiness no man shall see God. If we do not remain IN Christ,
in UTTER OBEDIENCE to Him until the very end, we will perish.


May Jesus bless you.

Deny Self vs Develop Self



All normal people are about themselves, about improving themselves, promoting themselves. They live for SELF. They live a selfish life, but those who belong to the kingdom of God, who follow Jesus Christ, have to DENY themselves. They have to live for the Kingdom of God, for the King, Jesus Christ, not for themselves.

That is why most people will not follow Jesus Christ. Most believers do not understand that the kingdom of God is not about THEM but about Jesus Christ. It is not about preserving themselves but about seeking the approval of Jesus Christ, of doing His will and living a life that is pleasing to Him. It is not about pleasing other people and being  accepted by other people, it is about being approved of by God.

If we still seek to improve ourselves, preserve ourselves and to please people, to impress other people, then we cannot be seeking the approval of God. Then we are still carnal people. If we belong to the kingdom of God then we seek the approval of God, we seek His will and our prayer, from our heart is:"Thy will be done, Thy kingdom come." It is not about what we want and what we feel. It is about the WILL OF GOD.

If we do not DENY OUR SELVES and go after Jesus Christ and seek His will, His approval, then we cannot be of the kingdom of God and we will not have eternal life. Salvation is about DENYING ourselves and living for the King, Jesus Christ, seeking His approval and His righteousness, living according to His commands and DOING that which is pleasing to Him.

Are we really following Jesus Christ? Do we deny self or are we still seeking the approval and acceptance of men?

May Jesus bless you.

Using your talents



God has given all of us talents and believers also seek for spiritual gifts, spiritual talents. The question is:What do we do with those talents? How do we use it? Do we use it for ourselves or do we use it for the kingdom of God?

If we follow Jesus Christ  then we do everything to glorify Jesus, to build the kingdom of God. That is the purpose of the talents.

We read in Matthew 25, Jesus was talking about these talents that God gives to us.

14“For it is just like a man about to go on a journey, who called his own slaves and entrusted his possessions to them. 15“To one he gave five talents, to another, two, and to another, one, each according to his own ability; and he went on his journey."

We all know what happened after the Master left. These slaves went and they worked with these talents to produce more. It was only the one that received one talent that did not use that one talent, he buried it. The master returned and he required of each of these slaves to show what they had done with their talents.

We read about the one who had one talent an produced nothing with it: Verse 24“And the one also who had received the one talent came up and said, ‘Master, I knew you to be a hard man, reaping where you did not sow and gathering where you scattered no seed. 25‘And I was afraid, and went away and hid your talent in the ground. See, you have what is yours.’

      26“But his master answered and said to him, ‘You wicked, lazy slave, you knew that I reap where I did not sow and gather where I scattered no seed. 27‘Then you ought to have put my money in the bank, and on my arrival I would have received my money back with interest. 28‘Therefore take away the talent from him, and give it to the one who has the ten talents.’

      29“For to everyone who has, more shall be given, and he will have an abundance; but from the one who does not have, even what he does have shall be taken away. 30“Throw out the worthless slave into the outer darkness; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth."

God gives us talents according to our ability and He will require of us that we multiply, that we use those talents for His kingdom. If we don't we will not just lose rewards, we will lose everything. We will end up in HELL.

Many believers think that if they refuse to work for the kingdom of God, if they refuse to apply their talents for the kingdom of God that they will lose rewards. You will lose your life and you will lose it for eternity.

If we are of the kingdom of God we have to apply our talents for the kingdom of God or else we will perish. People are concerned about many things but Jesus said:"Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all the other things will be added unto you . What are we using our talents for? Are we applying them  to the kingdom of God? What are we working for? Are we working for those things that perish or are we building the kingdom of God? Are we ourselves following Jesus Christ and bringing others unto Him? Are all our efforts directed at building the kingdom of God or are we squandering our talents on the things of the world, on ourselves?

If we do not build the kingdom of God and do not work for the kingdom of God we will perish. It will happen to us what happened to the slave with the one talent, he was cast into outer darkness where there will be moaning and gnashing of teeth.

Do not be deceived. If we are not willing to work for the kingdom of God and apply ourselves to the building  of the kingdom of God, we have no part in it and we will perish.

May Jesus bless you.

WORKS of GOD or of sATAN



Many people claim to be Christians but they live like the devil, they do the works of satan. They say that they are saved by grace, not by works, so they refuse to do the works of Christ.

If we believe in Jesus Christ and we follow Him, then we will be like Him. We will do His works. Jesus Christ said of His followers that they will do the works that He did and even greater works because He goes to His Father and He sends them the Holy Spirit that will guide them and teach them and direct them into doing the works of the Father. Jesus Christ did not say or do anything on His own initiative. He did and He said what the Father told Him to say and even so His followers will do the same. they will be led by the Holy Spirit to speak the words of God and to do the works of God, that which He prepared for them to do and that which He commands them to do.

The true followers of Jesus Christ have the MIND OF CHRIST. Those who follow satan have the mind of satan and they do the works of satan. A tree is known by it's fruit. What fruit do we bear? Do we speak the words of Christ and do the works of Christ under guidance of the Holy Spirit or do we follow after our own desires and after that which satan puts into our minds  because we are followers of the devil?

Are we truly followers of Jesus Christ . Our WORKS, our DEEDS show whom we are following. Do our works bear witness that we are sons of God, followers of Jesus Christ  or do our works condemn us because they show that indeed we are of satan, not of Christ? Who are we following? Whose works are we doing?

May Jesus bless you.

Do you REALLY believe in Jesus Christ?



Many people say they believe in Jesus Christ and they call themselves Christians, followers of Jesus Christ but they do not really believe in Jesus, because they do not OBEY Him, they do not FOLLOW Him.

If we believe in Jesus Christ we will OBEY His words, we will FOLLOW Him. We will live according to His commands. We will REPENT of all evil, REPENT of going after our own desires and we will go after Jesus. We will STOP SINNING, be holy and righteous and we will be baptized in water in obedience to Jesus Christ. We will SEEK the baptism in the Holy Spirit. Jesus promised His Holy Spirit to those who obey Him, His very own PRESENCE with them, in them to guide them and teach them, to teach them His ways so that they can follow Him. Those who are led by the Spirit of God they are the sons of God.

Most believers do not know Jesus Christ, they do not obey Him and therefor they do not really believe. Do you believe in Jesus Christ? Do you obey Him? Do you follow Him and do you live your life to please Him? Or do you believe in vain, because if you do not obey Him you will perish.

There is only one way to have eternal life and that is to follow and  obey Jesus Christ, to be like Him.

Do you truly believe? Do you follow and obey Jesus Christ?

May Jesus bless you.

Backsliders Go back to Jesus



There are many believers who once knew Jesus Christ , who once were close to Him, who were serious in their walk with Him but they have backslidden.  They have fallen away from Jesus Christ and they are hesitant to go back to Him. Many are not sure whether Jesus Christ will take them back. Many are afraid of going back, feeling foolish, afraid of being rejected and ridiculed by other Christians who were the so-called faithful. There is only one way to have eternal life and that is to follow Jesus Christ.

Jesus Christ never leaves us, we leave Him. He is faithful. We might fall away but we have to get back to Him. We have to follow Him with all our power. If you are backslidden, if you have fallen away from Jesus Christ, GET BACK TO HIM as soon as you can, IMMEDIATELY. Don't go back to church, don't go back to the so-called Christians that you knew, but go to Jesus. Get serious with Jesus Christ. It is our relationship with Him that matters. We have to be LED by the Holy Spirit to be able to be pleasing to Jesus. Be serious. REPENT. If you were never baptized in water, BE BAPTIZED and then SEEK the baptism in the Holy  Spirit, seek the INFILLING with God's Holy Spirit because we can only follow and be pleasing to Jesus if we are LED by the Spirit of God, by the Holy Spirit. We can only bear fruit if we are led by the Holy Spirit. It is a PERSONAL CLOSE RELATIONSHIP with Jesus Christ where we live in utter OBEDIENCE to Him, where we FOLLOW Him, LISTEN to Him and DO His will. Don't let anything hold you back. Don't look to other people, they cannot help you.

We will each stand on our own before Jesus Christ. Get back to Jesus Christ IMMEDIATELY. Don't let anything stop you and FOLLOW Him with all your power. Seek Him, seek His guidance. He will guide you, He will teach you and He will make you fruitful IF you remain IN HIM, but don't wait. Go back to Jesus without delay. We can die any time  and then we will face judgment. Do not delay. Follow Jesus TODAY. Seek Him with all your power and follow Him until the very end. Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling and make sure that Jesus Christ is pleased with you.

May Jesus bless you.

Once Saved but LOST AGAIN



Many believers were ONCE SAVED when they found Jesus Christ , they found the WAY, they found HOPE  and SALVATION in Jesus Christ but then they turned away from Jesus. They did not follow Him and they are LOST again. They lost their way, they lost Jesus Christ.

We have to mind our walk with Jesus every day. We have to follow and obey Him, we have to obey His words. we have to truly REPENT, be BAPTIZED IN WATER as He commanded and then SEEK the BAPTISM, they INFILLING WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT and follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit every day. We have to FOLLOW Jesus Christ every day until the very end or else will be LOST again and we will end up in damnation.

There is only ONE WAY to have eternal life and that is to FOLLOW Jesus Christ, to STAY with Him, to MIND OUR WALK with Him, to LISTEN to and OBEY the guidance of the Holy Spirit every day until the very end.

Are you following the Master? Do you still have the HOPE of salvation? Or do you base your SECURITY OF SALVATION on some Bible scriptures, that you once believed in Jesus? If we are not WITH HIM and stay with Him until the very end, we will not have salvation.

Salvation IS Jesus Christ, following, obeying and staying with Him, until the very end. are you still BEING SAVED or have you lost your way?

May Jesus bless you.

Learn New Ways or you will PERISH



Jesus Christ calls us to a NEW WAY of living, HIS WAY. His way is the only way to salvation, to live by the commands of Jesus, to OBEY what He commanded and what is also recorded in the gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Many believers claim salvation because they believe in Jesus Christ but they do not obey His words and they do not live HIS WAY. They have never learned HIS WAYS and therefor they will perish.

We have a warning as written in the book of Hebrews chapter three. I read from verse 7:

"7Therefore, just as the Holy Spirit says,

“TODAY IF YOU HEAR HIS VOICE,

8DO NOT HARDEN YOUR HEARTS AS WHEN THEY PROVOKED ME,

AS IN THE DAY OF TRIAL IN THE WILDERNESS,

9WHERE YOUR FATHERS TRIED Me BY TESTING Me,

AND SAW MY WORKS FOR FORTY YEARS.

10“THEREFORE I WAS ANGRY WITH THIS GENERATION,

AND SAID, ‘THEY ALWAYS GO ASTRAY IN THEIR HEART,

AND THEY DID NOT KNOW MY WAYS’;

11AS I SWORE IN MY WRATH,

‘THEY SHALL NOT ENTER MY REST.’”

12Take care, brethren, that there not be in any one of you an evil, unbelieving heart that falls away from the living God. 13But encourage one another day after day, as long as it is still called “Today,” so that none of you will be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin. 14For we have become partakers of Christ, if we hold fast the beginning of our assurance firm until the end,

15while it is said,

“TODAY IF YOU HEAR HIS VOICE,

DO NOT HARDEN YOUR HEARTS, AS WHEN THEY PROVOKED ME.”

16For who provoked Him when they had heard? Indeed, did not all those who came out of Egypt led by Moses? 17And with whom was He angry for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose bodies fell in the wilderness? 18And to whom did He swear that they would not enter His rest, but to those who were disobedient? 19So we see that they were not able to enter because of unbelief."

Many believers claim to have salvation , they claim to believe in Jesus but they keep on SINNING, they keep on DISOBEYING Jesus Christ. They never learn His WAYS and therefor they will perish. If we keep on sinning and keep on disobeying Jesus Christ, His commands as also recorded in the gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, we will perish. If we keep on disobeying the Holy Spirit that warns us to stop sinning, to be holy, to turn away from evil, to turn away from our own ways, we will never enter the kingdom of heaven.

The ways of Jesus are different from the ways of the world. We have been taught the ways of the world since we were babes but we have to LEARN the NEW WAY, the JESUS WAY if we want eternal life, or else we will not enter His kingdom. We have to LISTEN to and OBEY the Holy Spirit Who speaks to us. We have to OBEY the words of Jesus, repent, be baptized in water and seek the baptism in the Holy Spirit and He will guide us by His Spirit. We have to LISTEN to and OBEY His Spirit and LEARN HIS WAYS or else we will not enter His kingdom.

The children of Israel were saved from slavery but they kept on disobeying, they kept on sinning and in His wrath God swore that they would not enter His rest. They perished in the wilderness.  Exactly the same most believers will perish, they will end up in hell because they never learned the ways of Jesus Christ. They keep on studying the Bible but they do not obey Jesus Christ. They do not really believe His words. They do not live according to His words. They keep on sinning, they keep on disobeying Him and therefor they will perish.

We have to learn his ways and walk in His ways to enter His kingdom. Let us take heed to this warning and learn His ways or else we will perish even though we were once saved He will vomit us out of His mouth and we will perish if we do not learn HIS WAYS and walk in HIS WAYS.

May Jesus bless you.

Assumed Truth Dangerous Lies Preached in Churches


Most people are born into a religion, they are brought up in that religion and they believe that that is the truth. People are brought up in a denomination and they believe that their church is the absolute truth and their preacher preaches the only truth. But they assume that because they have been taught that.
Perfect truth is not with any denomination, not with any church not with any person, only with Jesus Christ. If we want to know the truth we should ask Jesus . We will not find the truth in a church or in a person but only in Jesus Christ alone.
Jesus Christ is the WAY the TRUTH and the LIFE and He reveals the TRUTH to those who seek Him, who ASK HIm and who TRUST Him. He teaches and He guides His sheep. His sheep are FEW. Very few know the truth because very few know, trust and follow Jesus Christ.
Do you know the TRUTH? Do you know Jesus Christ and do you follow Him. Are you taught by Him? Or do you trust in people and do you believe what other people tell you?
Trust in Jesus Christ alone. Let Him teach you and you will never be disappointed. You will never be in darkness because He will guide you into all truth.

May Jesus bless you.

Holy Spirit Baptism VS Spiritual Gifts



There is much misunderstanding and misinformation among believers about the difference between the baptism in the Holy Spirit and Spiritual gifts.

The Pentecostal experience, the baptism in the Holy Spirit is promised to ALL those who believe in Jesus Christ and who OBEY Him. The baptism in the Holy Spirit is a PREREQUISITE for Spiritual Gifts . Spiritual Gifts are not given to those who are not baptized in the Holy Spirit. You FIRST have to be baptized in the Holy Spirit  as the first believers were to become part of the Body of Christ, to receive Spiritual Gifts and to function in the Body as part of the Body. If you are not FILLED with the Holy Spirit and not LED by the Holy Spirit then you will not receives Spiritual Gifts to SERVE as MEMBER of the Body of Christ.

You first need to REPENT and be BAPTIZED IN WATER  and receive the baptism in the Holy Spirit that Jesus Christ promised to those who obey Him. When Jesus Christ ascended to heaven He commanded His disciples to first go to Jerusalem and WAIT for the Holy Spirit, the Comforter, that He promised so that they would receive POWER, so that they would be ENDOWED with the PRESENCE of the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Christ IN THEM and be guided by the Holy Spirit in order for them to function under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, as the apostle Paul wrote:" Those who are led by the Holy Spirit, (the Spirit of God) they are the sons of God" (Romans 8:14).

Spiritual Gifts are for those who have already received the baptism in the Holy Spirit WITH THE EVIDENCE OF SPEAKING IN TONGUES as the first believers also did when they received the baptism in the Holy Spirit.

I read from 1 Corinthians 12:14 The apostle Paul writes:

"4Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit. 5And there are varieties of ministries, and the same Lord.6There are varieties of effects, but the same God who works all things in all persons." (THOSE WHO ARE FILLED WITH THE SPIRIT) 7But to each one is given the MANIFESTATION OF THE SPIRIT for the common good." (THE HOLY SPIRIT CAN ONLY MANIFEST THROUGH US IF WE ARE BAPTIZED IN THE HOLY SPIRIT) "8For to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, and to another the word of knowledge according to the same Spirit; 9to another faith by the same Spirit, and to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit, 10and to another the effecting of miracles, and to another prophecy, and to another the distinguishing of spirits, to another various kinds of tongues, and to another the interpretation of tongues. 11But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually just as He wills."

The purpose of the holy Spirit gifts is to EQUIP the Saints for the work of SERVICE.

We read in Ephesians 4:8, Paul writes:"Therefore it says,

“WHEN HE ASCENDED ON HIGH,

HE LED CAPTIVE A HOST OF CAPTIVES,

AND HE GAVE GIFTS TO MEN.”

(What are these gifts? God called certain people to serve in His kingdom as part of His Body, to build up and EQUIP the Body of Christ for work of SERVICE.)

"11And He gave some as apostles, and some as prophets, and some as evangelists, and some as pastors and teachers,12for the equipping of the saints for the work of service, to the building up of the body of Christ; 13until we all attain to the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a mature man, to the measure of the stature which belongs to the fullness of Christ."

The purpose of Spiritual gifts is to EQUIP the SAINTS, to teach them, to bring them into relationship with Jesus Christ as a GROWN MAN  in Christ that does the will of Christ, functioning under the unction and the guidance of the Holy Spirit. That is the purpose of the Holy Spirit Gifts but we first need to be baptized in the Holy Spirit before we can be led by the Holy Spirit. God gives Gifts  to certain people whom He calls so that He can use them.

Those gifts are not qualifications. Those gifts are the working of the Holy Spirit to equip the Saints, to EMPOWER them, to bring them into unity with Christ so that they can be led by the Holy Spirit. It is not about the individual. it is about the Body of Christ, so that we will function as a body, led by the Holy Spirit in obedience to Jesus Christ. He leads us to unity in Him, He leads us to perfect obedience to Him to UNDERSTANDING of His WILL and to execution of the plan, the purpose for which He has called us.

We need to receive the baptism in the Holy Spirit to come into relationship with Christ, to be led by the Holy Spirit and then we need to follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit.

If we make ourselves available to Jesus Christ He will use us as He wills. He will use us to build His kingdom and to bring others into relationship with Him . The baptism in the Holy Spirit is a PREREQUISITE for the saints, the followers of Jesus Christ to enter into service for His kingdom.

Have you received the baptism in the Holy Spirit? Seek the baptism in the Holy Spirit so that you can be endowed with POWER to be ABLE to do His will.

May Jesus bless you.

My Holy Spirit Baptism Speaking in tongues - My Testimony



I received the baptism in the Holy
Spirit in 1972, that was after I had sought after it for some time.

I want to share my experience with you of the Comforter the Holy
Spirit that Jesus promised to those who obey Him.
The Holy Spirit
with speaking in tongues is given to us as a gift, a confirmation
from God the Father that we are His children. He gives us the gift of
tongues so that we can speak in that tongue at any time.
Since the
time that I was baptized in the Holy Spirit I have been speaking in
tongues at any time, at will. I can speak in tongues now God gave me
the tongue, it is mine.
It's a gift. It's my connection with the
Spirit of God, He has given me OF His Spirit. It is not a guarantee
that I wil have eternal life. It is a guarantee that He has accepted
me as His child and it COMFORTS me that I can speak to Him in tongues
at any time.
He gave me a special tongue that I can pray with at
any time while I am walking along, while I am driving or while I am
praying, At any time I can speak in that tongue because it is mine,
he has given it to Me and He will never take it away and it has been
with me for all those many years.
There are also other times when
I pray, and when I pray for long periods that He gives me other
tongues. There are times when I am praying with other brothers and
sisters that He gives me a TONGUE WITH INTERPRETATION but the tongue
that He has given me to pray to Him with
to connect to Him with,
any time that tongue has stayed with me since that time that I was
baptized in the Holy Spirit and that is why Jesus said: I send you
the Comforter. because it comforts us when I KNOW, I received the
Holy Spirit and this is the proof, this tongue that Jesus has given
me as He has promised and it is the same Spirit that raised Christ
from the dead that dwells in Me the comfort that I have, the proof
that I have, to me ALL THE TIME is the tongue that I can speak He
won't take it away from me. I don't understand what I am saying but
my spirit together with the Spirit of God prays mysteries unto God as
Paul also said (1 Corinthians 14:2)
At those times when we as
children of God get together and we get into serious prayer incessant
prayer with God, then the Holy Spirit comes on people and the one
will have a tongue which is not the tongue that he normally prays in.
God will give him that tongue and He will give somebody else the
interpretation not the TRANSLATION, the INTERPRETATION the MEANING
of what the Spirit of God wants to convey to those people who are
there together praying that is what the interpretation of the tongue
is.
At other times the Lord will give me a prophecy where I speak
directly what God puts into my heart
the message that He has
given for those people who are there together. At other times also
when I pray the Lord will give me a prophecy, He will speak to me in
my spirit in English or in Afrikaans, my own home language and I will
write those words down because the Spirit of God dwells in me.
Now
that is not unique to me that is promised to every one who has
accepted Jesus as is written in Acts 2:38,39, where Peter said this
promise is for you and for your children and for all of those whom
the Lord our God will call unto Him.
Dear friend, you need the
baptism in the Holy Spirit you need the gift of the Holy Spirit with
tongues so that you are COMFORTED constantly by the knowledge that
you HAVE THE GIFT OF THE SPIRIT YOU EXERCISE THE GIFT you can speak
in tongues any time, you don't need to
close your eyes, you don't go into a
trance like some people do (pretend) they get these convulsions and
things that is just a show. We might get excited when we pray but
that is the person that gets excited
that is not the Spirit of
God that takes control of him.
The Holy Sirit is not a
CONTROLLING SPIRIT, He is a GUIDING SPIRIT, The Lord puts those words
in your spirit and you speak those words He does not take control of
you like some people say,
they are not speaking the truth The
Spirit of God will put and unction in you and you will feel driven to
do things but HE WILL NOT FORCE YOU TO DO IT. You have got to OBEY
the Spirit of God
The Spirit of God guides us and LEADS US.
The
Holy Spirit in us leads us into righteousness and into holiness and
if you are not right with the Lord, if you are disobedient then when
you pray in tongues you know, you are not right with God. The Holy
Spirit convicts you. It is the Comforter that God gives and the
Comforter does not want to comfort you WHEN YOU ARE DOING WRONG. WHEN
YOU ARE DOING WRONG, THE COMFORTER CONVICTS YOU OF SIN, RIGHTEOUSNESS
AND JUDGMENT because as a child of God you are fortunate, you are
blessed with the benefit of being CHASTISED AND CORRECTED
and the
Holy Spirit of God loves you and wants us to be HOLY and therefor He
wil convict us when we do wrong and if we continue in our wrong doing
GOD WILL CHASTISE (PUNISH) US and He will chastise us severely, like
He has done to me also Having the Holy Spirit does not make a person
special
you are just human, you are flesh and blood but, YOU HAVE
RECEIVED THE COMFORTER.
Dear friends, I want to encourage you to
seek the Holy Spirit because it is promised to you and to me and to
everyone whom the Lord Jesus has called unto Him and if the gospel
of Jesus Christ has come to you then you are called then you must
respond to that call invite Jesus into your heart and don't run away
from the gifts of the Holy Spirit. EMBRACE THE HOLY SPIRIT IT IS THE
SPIRIT OF GOD
ask Jesus for the gifts, ask Him for the baptism in
the Holy Spirit and then for MORE, more of His Spirit not as
something for yourself but to equip you to serve better because those
who are led by the Spirit of God. they are the sons of God The
Spirit of God will never force you never drag you along and therefor
we need to seek the gift of the Holy Spirit we need to seek to be
baptized in the Holy Spirit
and we need to seek to be fruitful.
Dear friends, what is of the flesh is
of the flesh and what is of the Spirit of God that comes from God
you cannot fake it we can accumulate
for ourselves a lot of knowledge we can know the Bible from cover to
cover but yet be WITHOUT CONTACT WITH GOD WITHOUT THE HOLY SPIRIT OF
GOD and if we don't have the Holy Spirit then we are dead, we are
spiritually dead we come alive in the Spirit when we receive the
Spirit of Christ and therefor we have got to open ourselves to the
Holy Spirit Once you have received the
Holy Spirit baptism you must practice it.
It is NOT a safe guard
against hell neither is it a safeguard against backsliding. I
backslid for more than ten years and even in that time, when I was
far away from the Lord He did not take the gift of the Holy Spirit
away from me I just thank Him that He chastised me and He spoke to me
SEVERELY
TO THE POINT WHERE I CAME BACK TO HIM because He never
left me, I left Him.
Dear friends, you NEED the baptism in the
Holy Spirit you NEED the gift of tongues so that you are constantly
COMFORTED you can pray in tongues any time, as you drive along, as
you walk along
while you are washing the dishes while I am siting
here,
I can speak in tongues any time. In
that one specific tongue but when I get into incessant prayer, as I
said then God gives me other tongues and then the Spirit of God prays
with your spirit and through your spirit speaks mysteries unto God
and that is why He gives His COMFORTER to us so that we can be
constantly COMFORTED by the indwelling of His Spirit!
You need the
Holy Spirit, dear friend and you can only get it from Jesus you
cannot fake it. The world cannot receive the Holy Spirit only those
who come to the Father through Jesus Christ.
It is a gift to
those who are connected to the living God through Jesus Christ and
that is why it is
the proof to you that God has accepted
you and when the devil comes with doubt and accuses you of things and
says: "Well the Lord has rejected you! He doesn't want you any
more"
You say:"No satan, I still speak in tongues,
because my Father gave me a gift. I am still connected to Him!"


So dear friends, if you have received
the gift of the Holy Spirit, practice it every day and let the Holy
Spirit comfort you, all the time because He said: I will send you the
Comforter Who will be with you for EVER.
So, you need the Holy
Spirit dear friend. You need to pray in tongues all the time, ALL THE
TIME!
While you are driving along, whatever you are doing, you
say....(speaking in tongues)
While I am speaking to you, while I
am doing anything, I can be praying in tongues in my spirit
My
spirit is rejoicing in my King When I wake up at night, I am praying
in tongues...
My spirit is rejoicing in the Lord always. I am
connected to the living God!
Have you received the COMFORTER?
DO
NOT REJECT HIM! The Lord will give you your own tongue dear friend
and you will know for ever that He has accepted you and He will
Comfort you, FOR EVER until that very day that you see Jesus Christ
face to face.
May Jesus bless you


The TRUTH that Christians do not want to KNOW



Western Christians go after knowledge because they believe that knowledge is power. They believe that the more they know, the more they will be able to control their own lives and to make the "right" decisions. They love to listen to so-called spiritual people, they love to study the Bible, they love to study the prophecies. They love to listen to people with so-called prophetic vision, who "enlighten" them about the future and about what is happening in the world. But they do not know the TRUTH because they do not love the truth. The TRUTH is Jesus Christ Himself. He is the WAY and the LIFE and the TRUTH. If we follow HIM we will not be in darkness. If we LISTEN to HIM, He will guide us into all truth.But people do not want Jesus Christ, they do not want the TRUTH. The want to listen to people and then they think they can determine their own future. They are foolishly rejecting TRUTH, They are rejecting LIFE. They reject Jesus Christ because they rather listen to people and follow their own mind, their own wisdom than to ask Jesus, trust Him, follow and obey Him. They think they are more wise than God and therefor they have become fools and they will perish if they do not repent, stop listening to other people , stop running after the wisdom of men and start listening to Jesus Christ.

Most Christians have no knowledge of God. His sheep LISTEN to His voice, they follow Him and He guides them into all truth because they love the TRUTH, they love Jesus Christ.

Are you following after men and do you look for solutions, for advice about the future by running after people, listening to their videos, going to their seminars, paying them for their books, studying to show yourself approved , to show that you are also with it, you are also with the other Christians that are perishing because they are not following Jesus Christ? They do not love the truth. They love stories, fables, the thoughts of men. Or are you one of His sheep who listen to Him , who follow Him and does He guide you? Do you love the TRUTH, do you love Jesus Christ?

May Jesus bless you.

Salvation is not just a PROCEDURE



Salvation is not a procedure, a
methodology, a series of steps that you follow and then you have the
HOPE of eternal life. Salvation is about being a NEW CREATURE, being
BORN AGAIN of the Spirit of God, becoming a child of God, being
entirely renewed inside, to come into relationship and communion with
the Living God and then to follow and obey Him, to live our lives to
please Him. It is a LIVE RELATIONSHIP of a Child of God with his
Creator God, with his Father.
We need to be BORN AGAIN to be children
of God. We cannot just follow a series of steps and then pronounce
ourselves as born again or as children of God. If you are not RENEWED
inside, if you are not utterly changed to become a child of God then
you do not KNOW Him and you do not have the HOPE of salvation. The
only way that we can have salvation is through the gospel of Jesus
Christ, OBEYING His words, His commands. Jesus commanded that we
REPENT and turn from our evil ways, that we OBEY HIM, that we commit
ourselves to become HIS disciples, HIS followers and to do His will.
We must turn away from our previous lifestyle, we must turn away from
sin and from self-gratification and COMMIT to OBEY God, to live a
life that is pleasing to God.
If we approach Jesus Christ with a
contrite heart, bow down on our knees, submit ourselves to Him,
humble ourselves before Him and plead Him forgiveness of our past
sins, our previous selfish lifestyle and we commit ourselves to
obedience to Him, He will forgive our past sins that we committed in
ignorance and He will accept us as children of God. He will make us
NEW INSIDE but then we have to OBEY Him, go after Him. We have to be
baptized in water, in obedience to Jesus Christ as a confession of
our faith and our commitment to Him as a token of the washing off of
our sins and the death of our previous lifestyle, to emerge from that
water a new person that is committed to serve God. If we commit to
serve Jesus, if we accept Jesus and we repent from our wicked ways
and we are baptized in water then He promised us the most wonderful
GIFT, His very PRESENCE, His Holy Spirit to dwell in us and to be
with us at all times for eternity so that we can live IN HIS
PRESENCE, that we can be taught and guided by Him, that we can be
children of God in this world, that we can SEE the kingdom of God and
receive REVELATION from Jesus Christ, to know God, to know Jesus
Christ for REAL.
The Holy Spirit was first given on the
day of Pentecost. It was poured out on those who had repented and who
had been baptized in water and who were earnestly expecting, SEEKING
that infilling with the presence of God. He poured out His Spirit on
them, they started speaking in other tongues as all those would also
do who believed as result of their preaching and who also obeyed
Jesus Christ, who also were baptized in water. They also received the
Holy Spirit as the first believers did. The gift is promised to us as
well, the presence of God in and with us. Without the Holy Spirit we
cannot experience the presence of God, we cannot know Jesus Christ.
As the apostle Paul wrote in Romans 8:14:”Those who are led by the
Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.”
We cannot follow Jesus Christ if we are
not PERMEATED with His Spirit, if we are not LED by His Spirit, if we
are not guided, directed and willingly follow the guidance of the
Holy Spirit we cannot be pleasing to God, we cannot serve the purpose
for which He made us and called us to be servants of the kingdom of
God and to become HEIRS of the kingdom of God IF we endure with Him
until the end. IF we as OBEDIENT CHILDREN keep on serving and
following Jesus Christ, doing the will of our Father until the end we
will inherit His kingdom.
Most believers are not born again. Very
few have received the Holy Spirit and of those who received the Holy
Spirit very FEW follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Very few will
enter into the kingdom of God and do the will of God because most
believers have no relationship with God. They listen to preachers and
other people. The listen to videos and they read the books of other
people who profess to know God but they have got no knowledge of God
because they are not following God, they do not know Jesus Christ.
We are witnesses of Jesus. I know
Jesus, I follow Him and therefor I come to you and I implore you, I
say: Friend, get to know Jesus Christ. Seek Him with all your heart,
be baptized in water. Seek the infilling with the Holy Spirit. Seek
the guidance of the Holy Spirit and FOLLOW that guidance. LISTEN to
Jesus. Don't listen to people. Be guided by the Holy Spirit and SERVE
the kingdom of God. That is what He is calling you for and that is
what He has called me for. It is to be SONS OF GOD who do the will of
God.
Have you been born again of the Spirit
of God? Have you become a child of God and are you doing the will of
God? Are you following Jesus Christ? Have you become part of the
kingdom of God? Or are you just like most believers DECEIVED because
they don't know God, they don't know Jesus Christ? Jesus Christ is
the WAY. Get to KNOW Him. Seek His Spirit, seek His guidance. Follow
Him and OBEY Him and He will guide you into all truth. He will teach
you all you need to know and you will bear the fruit, you will do the
works that He prepared for you to do.
Jesus is calling YOU. Will you respond?
Will you go after Him or will you turn away and regret it for
eternity?


May Jesus bless you.
