Follow the SPIRIT not an Image of Jesus Christ
Religious people are carnal, they are natural men. They go after images and words, they want to SEE what they believe in. God is SPIRIT and those who are born of the Spirit of God are spiritual people. They do not go after the physical, they go after the Spirit of God.
Jesus Christ said that every man who is born of the Spirit of God is like the wind, you do not know where he comes from and where he is going, because he is of the Spirit of God.
Religious people cannot understand those who are of the Spirit of God because religious people are worldly; they are looking for something to hold on to, they want to see and image. They have an image of Jesus Christ and an image of God in their mind and many of them have images of Jesus and of God that they hold to, but they do not know God, because they are not of the Spirit of God.
Those who are born of God, they are the children of God, they are led by the Spirit of God, like the apostle Paul said:"Those who are being led by the Spirit of God, they are the children of God."
God is Spirit and those who worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth. We can only worship Jesus Christ in spirit and in truth if we are born of the Spirit. We can only be led by the Spirit, if we have received the Holy Spirit.
His sheep hear His voice and they follow Him. They are spiritual people, they follow after the Spirit, not after the physical.
Have you been born of the Spirit of God? Do you know the Father of all spirits? Is He your Father, and are you being led by the Spirit of God? Are you a born again child of God?
May Jesus bless you.

A Good Father
A good father does not give to his children everything that they ask for, what they want, he gives to them what is good for them. A good father does not seek the approval for the acceptance of his children. A good father does not tolerate disobedience or disrespect. A good father will not be manipulated by his children, his wife, or by anybody else; he will bring his children up in the fear of God to do that which is pleasing to God, he seeks to do the will of God.
When the children grow up the father rejoices when a child does well in life and when he stays on the right path, but he mourns when a child lives wickedly, ends up in prison and gets into trouble, when a child walks the wrong path. Us as parents treat our children and bring them up in the way that we think right, but God is the best father, He knows right and He does right and when we accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Master then He adopts us, He accepts us as His own; as His children and He treats us as children. He disciplines us and He teaches us, He takes care of us. He gives us what we need. He only has the best in mind for us. But we cannot manipulate Him, we cannot change His will; we need to seek His will and live for His kingdom, we need to obey Him and go after His plan and purpose for our lives. Jesus Christ will give us His gifts, He will give us everything that we need to fulfill His purpose, but if we stray and if we, in the end refuse to do His wil, He will grieve over us if we end up in hell. It is not the will of God that anyone perish but that all repent, accept Jesus Christ, are born again and become obedient children of God, that do His will so that they will have an inheritance in the kingdom of heaven.
Every branch in Christ that does not bear good fruit will get cut off and burned. Every child that disobeys Him will also get cut off and burned, he will end up in damnation because that was his choice, that was the consequence of his actions. It is not the will of God that we perish, but that we all be saved, that we enter His kingdom. If we do not follow and obey Jesus Christ,if we do not serve Him, serve His kingdom, we will have no inheritance in the kingdom of God. We need to go after Him, seek His will and serve Him as God, respect Him, pray wait on Him, serve Him as our Father, wait on Him and let Him guide us. We cannot manipulate Him, we cannot abuse Him. We have to bow humbly before Him because He is Lord. He is God Almighty, but He loves us and He treats us as children. He promises us the very best, His kingdom, if we endure with Him until the end, but if we deny Him, if we reject Him, if we turn away from Him, if we stray from Him then we will end up in damnation, if we do not return to the Father's house and serve Him as Lord and Master. Serve Jesus as Lord and Master until the very end, obey Him, and you will inherit His kingdom.
May Jesus bless you.

The Right Leader
If we follow the wrong leadership we will end up where we do not want to be. There is only one right way, and that is God's way. If we need wisdom, we must ask of God; He gives to all men freely. If we seek the truth, we must pray and ask God and He will reveal Jesus Christ to us. Jesus Christ is ALIVE, He is the WAY, the TRUTH and the LIFE; He is the only way to eternal life.
If we seek Him with all our heart, He will reveal Himself to us and He will guide us. He will give His Holy Spirit in us to guide us in everything, every step of the way. But very few people are interested in the right way, in God's way. Most people want things their way, for their benefit and for their pleasure. That is the way that leads to destruction.
There is only one way and that is God's way, that is the right way, Jesus Christ. Have you met Jesus Christ? Are you following the right way, or will you end up in destruction?
May Jesus bless you.

Bible knowledge does not make you a child of God
Bible study and Bible knowledge does not make you a child of God. Church membership and being religious, having a baptismal certificate to prove that you were baptized, that does not make you a child of God. Even if you pray in tongues it does not make you a child of God, or if you prophesy, or preach or a show much charity.
The question is: Are you a disciple of Jesus Christ? Do you have the nature of Jesus? Do you show the fruit of being a child of God? Do you love Jesus Christ and do you love your neighbor? Many profess to be Christians but they are not disciples, are not born again. They love themselves they do not love Jesus and they do not love their neighbor. They love the world and the things of the world but they are religious, yet they call themselves Christians. We need to be disciples of Jesus Christ, followers of Jesus, and we need to show fruit of repentance, fruit of being born again, fruit of being a children of God. Fruit of repentance is not just to admit that you are a sinner and then continue sinning. No, you turn away from your previous lifestyle of sin and self gratification; you turn away from being worldly and self-centered and you go after Jesus Christ, you obey His words, His commands. You truly repent and you become a new creature inside, a child of God who does the will of God. You turn away from sin and you live holy and righteous, you obey Jesus and you are baptized in water, for the washing off of your sin and after that you live a life that is dedicated to Jesus Christ, you are separated unto Him. You are not like the world. You do not follow after your own desires and after the things of the world, you seek the will of God. You become a disciple; you seek the presence of Jesus, His Holy Spirit to dwell in you and to guide you every step of the way, so that you can do the will of God. You live to please Him, not to please yourself. You do not try to impress other people. You are only interested in being pleasing to God. Being a child of God, is being a disciple of Jesus Christ and nothing less. Being a child of God means being of Jesus, belonging to Jesus, and not of the world or of the church.
A disciple of Jesus Christ belongs to Him, he is of the kingdom of God. Have you become a disciple of Jesus Christ? Are you of Jesus Christ?
May Jesus bless you.

The Center of your Life
Until John the Baptist came the law and the prophets was preached, but John the Baptist
came and he preached the Kingdom of God. He came to make the way for
the King, Jesus Christ, and then the King of the Kingdom, Jesus
Christ Himself, came to redeem for Himself a people that would serve
and worship Him, a people that would inherit His kingdom, a people
that would follow Him and do His will; those are the sons of God, the
children of God.

that would follow Him and do His will; those are the sons of God, the
children of God.
The normal man is only
concerned about himself, he himself, is the king of his life, his
whole life centers around himself. But those who have accepted Jesus
Christ as their Lord and Master, and have submitted themselves to
Him, who have become part of His kingdom, their life centers around
Jesus Christ, around doing His will. They have died to self and their
own ambitions, their own desires, and they live only for one thing,
and that is the kingdom of God. They live to serve the King, the
Master Jesus Christ. He is Lord; every knee will bow and every tongue
will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, that He is Master. Even those
who rejected Him, who despised Him, even those who pierced Him, who
killed Him, they will confess and acknowledge that Jesus Christ is
Lord, but it will be too late for them. Now is the day of salvation,
now is the day of the Lord. Today is the day to accept Jesus Christ
as your Lord and Master and become part of His kingdom. If you reject
Him you will perish. There is only one way to have eternal life and
that is to serve Jesus Christ as Lord; to obey the gospel of Jesus
Christ, to obey His words, to accept Him, accept His words, repent,
turn away from serving yourself, turn away from being the center of
your own existence, and make Jesus Christ the center of your life.
Turn away from sin and selfishness, submit yourself to Jesus as Lord
and Master, die to self, be born again of the Spirit of God, and of
water, be baptized in water, and come out of that water a new
creature, be filled with the Holy Spirit and follow the guidance of
the Holy Spirit. Serve the King in holiness and righteousness. Let
your life center around Him or else you cannot be part of His
kingdom.

Are you part of the
kingdom of God? Do you follow and serve the King, Jesus Christ? Is He
real to you? Have you made Him the center of your life, or are you
doomed and destined for eternal destruction? Seek Jesus now, while
you can. He is the King of kings and the Lord of lords, serve Him as
Lord and Master. Know Him for real or else He will say to you, like
He will say to so many who rejected Him, so many who served
themselves, so many who ran after people; He will say to them: Go
away I never knew you, you workers of wickedness, because they did
not believe in Him. They did not accept Him, they did not serve Him
as Lord and Master. Is Jesus Christ your Master? Is he the center of
your existence?

Jesus Christ Heals Mental Illness
Only Jesus Christ can heal mental sickness. Medical science can suppress a person who is mentally ill with medication but it cannot cure him.
Jesus Christ sets the captives free. He makes you NEW inside, born-again; He makes you a new creature. If you humble yourself before Him, if you bow down before Him and seek Him with all your heart.
Accept Him into your life and He will will make you new inside. He will set you free from fear, anxiety and addictions. Those whom the Son of God has set free will be free and free indeed.
Call on Jesus today and He will set you free. He will heal you and He will give you LIFE.
May Jesus bless you.

Repent and Follow Jesus Christ
Believing in Jesus
Christ can only save you from hell if you obey Him, if you repent and
follow Him. Just believing in Jesus Christ cannot save you. You have
to come to Him on His terms on His conditions. You have to repent and
follow Jesus Christ. The natural man, normal man, normal person, is
selfish, self-centered, self-gratifying; his whole life is just about
himself, satisfying his own ambitions and his own desires, his sinful
lusts and therefore people sin. Because they are driven by lust and
by their own desires. A normal man is a slave to sin, and a slave to
his own ambitions. The normal man is the master of his own life, he
serves himself. The wages of sin is death and therefore the natural
man will end up in hell.

The only way to have
eternal life is to give up our rights to ourselves and to submit
ourselves to Jesus Christ, to obey Him and serve Him, live our lives
to please Him and then He will pardon our sins. He will make us new
inside, He will accept us and make us children of God. But we must
serve Him as Lord and Master.

There is a cost to
salvation, there is a cost to following Jesus Christ. It is such a
high cost that very few people are willing to pay that price. They
have wrongly been told that they only need to believe in Jesus Christ
to have salvation; that is a lie.
salvation, there is a cost to following Jesus Christ. It is such a

have wrongly been told that they only need to believe in Jesus Christ
to have salvation; that is a lie.
We have to follow and obey
Him, we have to submit our lives to Him and follow Him as disciples.
I read the words of Jesus in Matthew chapter 16:24, "Then Jesus
said to His disciples: "If anyone wishes to come after me he
must deny himself and take up his cross and follow Me. For whoever
wishes to save his life will lose it; but whoever loses his life for
My sake will find it. For what will it profit a man if he gains the
whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what will man give in exchange
for his soul? For the Son of Man is going to come in all the glory of
His father with His angels and will then repay every man according to
his deeds."
Him, we have to submit our lives to Him and follow Him as disciples.
I read the words of Jesus in Matthew chapter 16:24, "Then Jesus
said to His disciples: "If anyone wishes to come after me he
must deny himself and take up his cross and follow Me. For whoever
wishes to save his life will lose it; but whoever loses his life for
My sake will find it. For what will it profit a man if he gains the
whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what will man give in exchange
for his soul? For the Son of Man is going to come in all the glory of
His father with His angels and will then repay every man according to
his deeds."
We read in Luke chapter 14
verse 26 Jesus said:"If anyone comes to me and does not hate his
own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters,
yes, and even his own life, he cannot be My disciple. Whoever does
not carry his own cross and come after me cannot be My disciple. For
which one of you when he wants to build a tower, does not first sit
down and calculate the cost to see if he has enough to complete it?
Otherwise when he has laid a foundation and is not able to finish,
all who observe it begin to ridicule him saying: This man began to
build and was not able to finish. Or what king when he sets out to
meet another king and battle, will not first sit down and consider
whether he is strong enough with 10,000 men to encounter the one
coming against him with 20,000? Or else while the other is still far
away, he seems a delegation and asks for terms of peace. So then,
none of you can be My disciple who does not give up all his own
verse 26 Jesus said:"If anyone comes to me and does not hate his
own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters,
yes, and even his own life, he cannot be My disciple. Whoever does
not carry his own cross and come after me cannot be My disciple. For

coming against him with 20,000? Or else while the other is still far
away, he seems a delegation and asks for terms of peace. So then,
none of you can be My disciple who does not give up all his own
possessions."
That is the price of
discipleship; that is the price of salvation. We have to be willing
to give up our rights to ourselves, to our own pleasure, to own
ambitions, to our own desires, and we have to submit ourselves to
Jesus Christ. We have to turn away from the pleasures of sin and from
doing our own will and submit ourselves to Jesus Christ. We must die
to self and live for Jesus. We must live for His kingdom, we must
serve Him as Lord and Master. We must obey His commandments. If we
are not willing to do that, then we are wasting our time. If we start
going after Jesus and we're not willing to pay the price anymore we
will only be disappointed. We have to make up our mind before we
decide to go after Jesus Christ.

If you have counted the
cost and you have made up your mind that you want eternal life, that
you want to go after Jesus Christ, then you need to commit to Him. Go
on your knees before Him and accept Him into your life; accept Him as
your Lord and your Master. Give up your rights to your own self,
plead His pardon for your past sins. Be prepared to turn away from
your sin and your previous lifestyle of self-gratification, of doing
your own will. Cry out to Jesus, invite Him into your life; but be
serious. If you are serious then He will accept you, He will make you
knew inside and He will immediately give you peace and a joy that
surpasses all understanding. You will know in your heart that you
have met with the Living God, you have met with Jesus Christ. Then
you need to clean up your life; clean up your mind, clean up your
closets, your house, get rid of all those things that will separate
you from Jesus, friends, bad habits, sinful things, worldly things,
that were dear to you. Get rid of it and rearrange your life to be
able to follow and obey Jesus Christ, to be pleasing to Him.

Next you must be baptized
in water as Jesus commanded. I read the words of Jesus in Matthew
chapter 28 verse 19:"Jesus commanded:"Therefore go and make
disciples of all nations baptizing them in the name of the Father and
the Son and of the Holy Spirit and teaching them to obey everything
that I have commanded you."

We read in Mark chapter 16
those 15: "and He said to them:" Go into all the world and

baptized shall be saved, but he who has disbelieved will be
condemned. These signs will accompany those who have believed: in My
name they will cast out demons, they will speak with new tongues,
they will pick up serpents, and if they drink any deadly poison it
will not hurt them, they will lay hands on the sick, and they will
recover." These are the signs that will follow for those who
take Jesus Christ seriously who obey Him who repent and be baptized.
Jesus Christ promised the baptism in the Holy Spirit, His Spirit in
every person who believes in Him and who obeys Him, who repents and
who is baptized and who obeys His commands, who seeks Him with all
their heart. You need the Holy Spirit, the presence and the voice of
Jesus Christ in you, because you cannot follow Him if you do not know
His voice. Your relationship with Jesus Christ is through prayer,
through His Spirit dwelling in you, guiding you, and teaching you.
Jesus said: "My sheep hear My voice I know them, and they follow
Me." John chapter 10 verse 27. Verse 5, Jesus said:" a

Christ through our relationship with Him, through His Spirit that
dwells in us, when we seek Him in prayer and He fills us with His
Holy Spirit; He imparts His knowledge and his presence into us. We
need to build our fellowship, our relationship with Jesus Christ, so
that we can know Him and follow Him. We need to obey His

There's only one way to

Once we have believed in Him, we must obey His commandments, repent,
turn away from sin, be holy, turn away from our own desires, from
serving ourselves, we must put Him on the throne of our lives and
serve Him; we must be baptized in water and receive the baptism in
the Holy Spirit, the presence of Christ living in us, to guide us, to
teach us. If we do not have the Holy Spirit, we cannot follow Jesus
Christ; without the Holy Spirit we have no relationship with Jesus
Christ. He promised His Spirit, the Holy Spirit in each and everyone
who believes in Him and who obeys Him, His communion with them. They
will know Him for real, they will know His voice and they will follow
Him. Have you repented since you have heard the gospel of Jesus
Christ? Have you accepted Him as your master? Do you serve and obey
Him? Have you received the baptism in the Holy Spirit? Does the Holy
Spirit of Christ live in you? Do you know His voice and do you follow
Him? We have to follow Him until the very end. If we do not follow
Jesus Christ and are not led by His Holy Spirit then we will never
know Him and we will never enter His kingdom. Repent and be baptized,
seek Jesus with all your heart be filled with the Holy Spirit, and
follow Him, the guidance of His Holy Spirit and He will guide you
every step of the way until the very end.

Him. Have you repented since you have heard the gospel of Jesus
Christ? Have you accepted Him as your master? Do you serve and obey
Him? Have you received the baptism in the Holy Spirit? Does the Holy
Spirit of Christ live in you? Do you know His voice and do you follow
Him? We have to follow Him until the very end. If we do not follow
Jesus Christ and are not led by His Holy Spirit then we will never
know Him and we will never enter His kingdom. Repent and be baptized,
seek Jesus with all your heart be filled with the Holy Spirit, and
follow Him, the guidance of His Holy Spirit and He will guide you
every step of the way until the very end.
May Jesus bless you.

Sinning less will not save you from hell
Sinning less will not save your soul from hell. Being religious, going
to church, reading your Bible, even praying, will not save you. The only
One who can Christ. The only one who can save you from the bondage of
sin and from the guilt of your sin is Jesus Christ.
The only way to
have eternal life and not end up in damnation,is to accept Jesus Christ
as your Lord and Master and to serve Him as your King; to repent, turn
away from your previous lifestyle of sin and self gratification, doing
what you please, and to submit yourself to Jesus,to plead His pardon,
for Him to forgive you, for Him to give you mercy and save you from
damnation. Then to stop sinning immediately, change your life to live
your life in such a way that you obey Him, and are pleasing to Him, to
be totally devoted to Jesus Christ.
Jesus said that if we do not
love Him above all things, if we do not honor Him and regard Him above
father, or mother, wife, children, even our own life then we are not
worthy of Him. We have to submit to Him; dedicate our lives to Him and
live in utter obedience to Him, repent, be baptized in water for the
washing off of your, sin and sin no more, Turn away from those things
that you regarded more than Him, those things that were important in
your life and put Jesus Christ first. Love Him and obey Him.
Once
you've been baptized in water and you have dedicated yourself to Him,
Jesus promises to give you the seal of His acceptance, the baptism in
the Holy Spirit. He will give His Holy Spirit to come and dwell in you,
to be with you, to comfort you, to guide you, to assure you, to guide
you in His ways.
Jesus is a jealous God. He does not tolerate other
Gods before us. If we regard anything or anybody else above Him then we
are not worthy of Him. Jesus said that if we disown Him, deny Him, He
will certainly also deny us. He is faithful. He will not leave us, nor
forsake us; He will not throw us away, He will not push us away from Him
but if we desert Him, we run away from Him, if we reject Him then we
are not worthy of Him and we will not enter His kingdom. We have to live
our lives to be pleasing to Jesus, live according to His commands, His
words. We must be His disciples. We have to love Him, we have to be in
close relationship with Him, in prayer. If we love our TV and our
entertainment more than Jesus Christ we are not worthy of Him. If we
rather watch TV and play video games than to pray and to be with Jesus,
then those things are more important to us and we will not enter his
kingdom. We have to be faithful to Him, we have to live our lives to
please Him. To sin means separation from Jesus to sin means rebellion
against Jesus, disregard for Him. To sin means to despise the Grace and
the mercy that He gave to us when he accepted us as His own.
Jesus
Christ requires our total love and dedication or else we are not fit for
His kingdom. If we do not stay within every day and seek to be pleasing
to Him, if we do not submit ourselves to Him, listen to His voice, seek
His voice seek, His guidance, every day, if we do not cherish and
appreciate the presence of His Holy Spirit and make time to pray, listen
be with Him, then He will say to us: "Go away, I never knew you, you
workers of wickedness." If we deny Him He will certainly also deny us.
As we sow, so shall we reap. If we do not work on our relationship with
Jesus and if we do not put everything into it, we will not enter His
kingdom.
Jesus warned that many will try to enter His kingdom, many
will try hard but will not be able. Jesus requires our utter dedication.
Is our love and dedication, our relationship with Him worthy of being
in His kingdom with Him for ever?
Do we truly love Jesus Christ? Are we worthy of Him?
May Jesus bless you.

First Love
The greatest commandment is:"You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might.”Deuteronomy 6:5
Jesus Christ is God. He is the WAY, He is the TRUTH and He is the Life. If we want eternal life we have to believe in Him, accept Him, follow Him and obey Him until the very end. We have to love Him above all things.
As Jesus also said, I read from Luke 14:26,27. “If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters — yes, even his own life — he cannot be My disciple. 27And whoever does not carry his cross and follow Me cannot be My disciple."
If we do not love Jesus Christ above all things than we are not worthy of Him.
Jesus Christ also said: 15“If you love Me, you will keep My commandments. " John 14:15.
The commandments of Jesus Christ are the words that He spoke, what He commanded, as also recorded in the gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. If we love Him we will obey Him, we will obey His words; we will repent and be baptized, we will live our lives according to His words, His commands, His instructions, we will seek Him above all things and love Him above all things.
We read in Revelation 2:4,5. the warning that Jesus gives to one of the churches: 4‘But I have this against you, that you have left your first love. 5‘Therefore remember from where you have fallen, and repent and do the deeds you did at first; or else I am coming to you and will remove your lampstand out of its place—unless you repent."
Verse 7. “To him who overcomes, I will grant to eat of the tree of life which is in the Paradise of God.“
Jesus Christ requires of us that we love Him above all. he must be our first love.
Has Jesus Christ ever been our first love? Did we accept Him with all our heart and turn away from our wicked ways, turn away from our selfish existence and fall in love with Him, accept Him and do the deeds that are pleasing to Him? Did we ever repent and accept Jesus Christ? Were we ever born again? If we did, do we still love Him as much as we did when we first came to know Him? Is Jesus Christ our first love? If He is not, then we had better repent and put Jesus Christ first, above everything or else we are not worthy of Him.
We have to love Him, obey Him, live for Him and endure with Him until the very end. Do we really love Jesus Christ, or is our love and our faith just empty words?
May Jesus bless you.

Will you FOLLOW?
Jesus Christ will guide you and He will take care of you, He will keep you safe and He will protect you IF you follow Him. He will teach you and He will give you understanding; He will tell you mysteries, He will explain things to you that nobody else understands or knows, IF you listen to Him. You will be taught by Him IF you trust Him, but you have to follow Him obey Him and go with Him.
Jesus Christ has told me many things, things that I've heard from Him that I have shared. Many of those things that I've heard and shared have not happened yet and so some people call me false, call me a false prophet.
I'm not a prophet. I follow Jesus Christ, I am His servant and I know His voice, and when He sends me I go. I trust Him. I listen to Him and I learn from Him, in His arms I'm safe. Nothing can happen to me that is not in His plan because I stay with Him. I
follow Him.
Jesus said His sheep hear His voice and they follow Him.
Will you follow Jesus Christ when He guides you? Will you go where He sends you? Will you do what He tells you to do? Will you believe what He tells you? Do you really know His voice and will you follow Him? Are you truly a disciple of Jesus Christ?
If we do not trust Him and are not willing to follow Him then we will not be under His protection. We need to follow Him obey and stay close to Him, then we will be safe.
Many people make predictions and many believers run after them.
Will those people go after Jesus? Will they trust Him and will they follow Him?
Do you know Jesus, dear friend? Do you know His voice? Will you trust Him and will you follow Him? Are you truly one of His sheep? Are you a disciple of Jesus Christ? Will you follow Him?
May Jesus bless you.

Like the Wind or Chasing After Wind
There are two types of people in this world, those who chase after wind
and those who are like wind. The natural man, the normal person, the one
who is not born again of the Spirit of God, chases after when. He
lives, he works, he strives, he does not have direction, he does not
know where is going, and he does not know where he will end up.
Everything that he does leads to nothing. He dies, he goes into the
grave, the grass grows over him and the wind blows over him; in the end
his life was a waste because he has no hope, he has no future he is
forgotten and he perishes. All his endeavors, everything that he worked
for comes to nothing, because all of his life he was chasing after wind.
However
the person who is born again of the Spirit of God is like the wind. We
read in John chapter 3 verse 5 Jesus Christ said "Truly, truly I say to
you unless one is born of water and the Spirit he cannot enter into the
kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh and that which
is born of the Spirit is spirit. Do not be amazed that I said to you,
you must be born again. The wind blows where it wishes and you hear the
sound of it but you do not know where it comes from and where it is
going; so is everyone who is born of the Spirit."
Every person who is
born again, such a person has a purpose, he has a destiny he has a
future, and that is why Jesus also said, I read from Matthew chapter 6
verse 25 "For this reason I say to you, do not be worried about your
life as to what you will eat, what you will drink nor for your body, as
to what will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than
clothing? Look at the birds of the air that they do not sow nor reap nor
gather into barns and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not
worth much more than they? And who of you by being worried can add a
single hour to his life? And why are you worried about clothing? Observe
how the lilies of the field grow; they do not toil nor do they spin,
yet I say to you that not even Solomon in all his glory clothed himself
like one of these. But if God so clothes the grass of the field which is
alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, will He not much
more clothe you? You of little faith! Do not worry then, saying 'What
will we eat?' or 'What will we drink?' or 'What will we wear for
clothing?" For the Gentiles eagerly seek all these things; for your
heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first His
kingdom and His righteousness and all these things will be added to
you."
If we belong to Jesus Christ, if we are born again and we have
become children of God, we do not need to chase after wind. We go after
Jesus, we follow after Him because He is the Way, the Truth and the
Life. He directs our footsteps and He takes care of us, but we need to
go after Him. We need to follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit; as the
apostle Paul wrote in Romans 8 verse 14 "for all who are being led by
the Spirit of God, these are the sons of God." If we are led by the
Spirit of God then we all like the wind; we do not chase after wind. We
go after Jesus and we are led by the Spirit of God and we know that He
supplies in all our needs, He guides us, He teaches us and He uses us
for His purpose. We have a purpose, we have a direction, we have a hope,
we have an expectation, to enter the kingdom of heaven and therefore we
strive and we follow after Jesus Christ every day. We are like the wind
because He takes us where He wants to use us. The world cannot
understand us because we are not chasing after wind. We are following
after Jesus Christ, we are like the wind.
Dear friend are you
chasing after wind? Are you part of the rat race? Are you chasing after
the things of this world? Do you have no direction? You don't know where
you are going to end up. Then seek Jesus Christ; follow Him, repent and
be baptized, be filled with the Holy Spirit and follow the guidance of
the Holy Spirit, then you will be like the wind because you will be
guided by the Holy Spirit. You will have hope, a future, a destiny you
will have Jesus Christ.
May Jesus bless you.

Filled and Overflowing
From the fullness of the heart, speaks the mouth. We speak those things that are inside of us. If we are filled with sin, malice and hatred, those are the things that come from our mouths. But is we are filled with the Holy Spirit and Jesus Christ lives in us, then from our mouth will flow praises to Jesus, testimonies of Jesus; we will be talking about Jesus.
We will not curse; we will bless. A tree is known by it's fruit. If we are good trees, then we will produce good fruit, but if what comes from our mouth and from our actions is bad, then that is what we are at heart.
We might be religious. We might believe that we have salvation but if we do not have Jesus Christ inside of us then Jesus Christ will not flow from us.
Are we filled with the Holy Spirit, and do praises to Jesus come from our mouth, or does evil come from our mouth?
Is Jesus Christ inside of us?
May Jesus bless you.

The Benefit of the Holy Spirit Tongues
I want to explain to you the benefits of being baptized in the Holy Spirit and having the ability to pray in tongues. The baptism in the Holy Spirit, with tongues, is promised to every person who believes in Jesus Christ and who obeys Him.
Many do not understand the baptism in the Holy Spirit and others do not want the baptism in the Holy Spirit, but Jesus will not force the gift of the Holy Spirit on anybody, He gives the gift to those who thirst for Him, the TRUE WORSHIPERS.
I want to start with the woman at the well. We read in John 4:13 "Jesus answered and said to her, “Everyone who drinks of this water will thirst again; 14but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him shall never thirst; but the water that I will give him will become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life.” Then verse 23 “But an hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for such people the Father seeks to be His worshipers. 24“God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”
Jesus was telling this woman that He will gives Streams of Living Water in those who are thirsty, those who WANT to worship Him, the TRUE WORSHIPERS.
We further read that Jesus said: John 7:37On the last and greatest day of the feast, Jesus stood up and called out in a loud voice, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink. 38To the one who believes in Me, it is just as the Scripture has said: ‘Streams of living water’ will flow from within him. 39He was speaking about the Spirit, whom those who believed in Him were later to receive. For the Spirit had not yet been given, because Jesus had not yet been glorified."
After Jesus was glorified and ascended to Heaven the Holy Spirit was poured out on the day of Pentecost. We read about that in Acts 1 and 2.
Before Jesus ascended to heaven He gathered His disciples and He gave them instruction. 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 will be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now.” He goes on to say in verse 8 "but you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be My witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the remotest part of the earth.”
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 was giving them utterance."
They were speaking as the Holy Spirit gave them utterance. The Holy Spirit provided what they uttered through their mouths. They were speaking to God, they were glorifying God, and some of the people around them that were from other nations, that were of other languages, heard these people who did not know their languages, speak of the great deeds of God in their own language. These people did not even know what they were saying but the Holy Spirit gave utterance to them.
The apostle Paul explains in 1 Corinthians 14: 2 "For one who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God; for no one understands, but in his spirit he speaks mysteries.4One who speaks in a tongue edifies himself; "
The purpose of the tongues, that those receive , who are baptized in the Holy Spirit, is for them to be able to worship God in spirit and in truth.
When we pray, we very soon run out of words when we pray in our own mind , we run out of things to pray; we don't know what to pray and therefor Paul also explains in Romans 8:26 "In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know how we ought to pray, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groans too deep for words. 27And He who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God."
When we pray in tongues, the Holy Spirit , who dwells in us, gives us utterance, and even though we do not know what we are saying, what we are praying to God, the Holy spirit intercedes for us and through us, and with us, through our tongue, because we speak the utterance that He gives us to say. We do not rightfully know what to pray; we can pray for the will of God to be done, but we do not know what the will of God is, but the Holy Spirit knows and if we pray in tongues, we pray according to the will of God.
The apostle Paul also prayed much in tongues. we read that he says in 1 Corinthians 14:18 "I thank God, I speak in tongues more than you all; 19however, in the church I desire to speak five words with my mind so that I may instruct others also, rather than ten thousand words in a tongue."
We can pray with our mind and we can also pray in the spirit, but when our mind runs out of words and thoughts to pray about, the Holy Spirit helps us and therefor we have to pray in the spirit to be built up, to be edified, in our relationship with Jesus Christ.
The Holy Spirit baptism and gifts are not a guarantee of salvation, neither is it an indication of our fruitfulness. Our fruitfulness depends on our relationship with Jesus Christ and if we do not bear good fruit we will get CUT OFF AND BURNED, even though we have received all the gifts of the Holy Spirit - if there is not fruit, if there is no good fruit, then we are bad trees and we will get cut off and burned, we will end up in hell. And this is why Paul also writes in 1 Corinthians 13:1 "If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but do not have love, I have become a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. 2If I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. 3And if I give all my possessions to feed the poor, and if I surrender my body to be burned, but do not have love, it profits me nothing."
The purpose of the Holy Spirit baptism and praying in tongues, is for us to be able to continuously pray and worship in spirit and in truth, so that we can be edified in our spirit, so that we can be built up in our relationship with Jesus Christ. It is through communion with Him in prayer that we draw closer to Him and that is why we must not only have the baptism in the Holy Spirit but practice praying in tongues.
The gift of speaking in tongues is not for public display. When we pray we must pray in private and not make a public spectacle like so many people do. Jesus Christ called them hypocrites, and therefor we read His words in Matthew 6:5 "And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men. Truly I tell you, they already have their reward. 6But when you pray, go into your inner room, shut your door, and pray to your Father, who is unseen. And your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you."
Our relationship with Jesus Christ is through prayer. If you do not pray, you have no relationship with Him. You can read your Bible, you can go to church, you can watch Christian videos, you can go to fellowship, you can go to praise and worship in the church, you can do religious things, read religious books but if you do not pray, in spirit and in truth, then you have no relationship with Jesus Christ.
Jesus gives us the Holy spirit and the ability to pray in tongues so that we can continuously, uninterruptedly pray in tongues, in your inner room, praying in the spirit, while also praying with your mind, while you go about your daily activities, you can be praying in the spirit. In your mind, the Holy Spirit, in you, giving you the utterance, so that you can continuously be in prayer, that you can be FILLED with the Holy Spirit; streams of Living Water can only flow through us if we PRAY, and if we pray in the spirit. If you pray with your own mind you are limited, you will soon run out of words, get bored, and not know what to pray. but if you pray in the spirit, you can pray for hours on end, you will not run out of words to pray because the Holy Spirit will supply those words. You will be edified in your spirit and you will be FILLED with the Spirit, Streams of Living Water will flow through you.
Dear friend, are you filled with the Holy Spirit? Are streams of living water flowing through you, that living water that Jesus promised to those who seek him, the true worshipers? Are you a true worshiper? Have you received the baptism in the Holy Spirit and do you pray in the Spirit? Do you have a DESIRE for the Holy Spirit? Do you have a DESIRE for streams of living water? Do you thirst and do you hunger for the Spirit of God? Do you desire a closer relationship with Jesus Christ? Do you want to be filled with the Spirit? Then ASK Him!
Repent, and be baptized and ask Jesus to fill you with the Holy Spirit. You have to receive it, before you can have it, and you have to practice it for streams of living water to be continuously flowing through, you from the inner man, streams of living water that spring up into eternal life!
Do you have that LIFE in you? Are you FILLED with the Spirit of the Living God?
May Jesus bless you.

Nothing to boast about
None of us who believe in Jesus Christ and you have come to know Him will have anything to boast about if we make it into the kingdom of heaven. It is by His mercy and grace that Jesus revealed Himself to us, that we heard the gospel and that we could believe in Him, accept Him as our Lord and Master that we could repent of our former and fruitful life of sin and self gratification, and that we can follow Him; that we could be made new in Christ, be born again to become children of God, be baptized in water for the washing off of our sin so that we could come out of that water a new person, a new creature, eager to follow and obey Jesus Christ.
It was by His mercy and grace that He has given us the baptism in the Holy Spirit, His Spirit, to come and live in us, be with us, to guide us, to teach us, to comfort us, to be with us always. But we have to follow and obey Him, we have to stay with Him until the very end.
Without Jesus Christ we can do nothing. If we do not follow Him in holiness and in righteousness and obey Him until the very end we will not enter His kingdom. The prophet Micah said:"He has shown you o man, what is good, and what does the Lord require of you but to do justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with the
Lord thy God." We have to follow the WAY, Jesus Christ, until the very end.
None of us is finally saved yet. We have the hope of salvation as long as we endure with Jesus Christ. We have nothing to boast about. We only have reason to be grateful, thankful, that we have found the WAY. We must not forget where we came from, where Jesus saved us from. None of us is good, but we found the WAY. We have chosen to follow Jesus, we have chosen to depart from our evil ways. We have chosen and we have to choose every day to obey Jesus Christ; we have to choose right everyday, stay
focused on Him, listen to His Holy Spirit and be guided by the Spirit. We have to stay in Christ, be led by the Holy Spirit in order to bear fruit for His kingdom, to bring glory to God. If we do not bear good fruit will get cut off and burned. It is
destined for man to die once and thereafter to face judgment, and God does not discriminate. Those who knew the truth will experience stricter judgment, than those who did not hear the gospel of Jesus Christ. We know the truth and therefore we have to walk in truth and in holiness before the Lord our God. We have to bring others to Jesus Christ. We have nothing to boast about. We are no better than anybody else but we have to stay on
the right way, we have to keep on following Jesus everyday, make the right choices, avoid temptation, make straight paths for our feet that we might not stumble. We have to pray and listen to the Holy Spirit. Jesus said:"Watch and pray that you do not fall into temptation because the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak." Without Jesus we will not make it, and in the end all the
glory goes to Jesus. We have to stay with Him and endure with Him until the very end to find that narrow door into the kingdom of heaven. If we make it into heaven it will only be by His mercy and grace. All the glory will go to Jesus.
Are you on the narrow road? Are you following Jesus Christ every day? Is your hope in Him alone?
May Jesus bless you.

Your Teacher
God Almighty manifested Himself in Jesus Christ. He came and He walked among men but very few believed in Him, very few accepted Him, very few followed Him; very few became His disciples and Jesus Christ commanded His disciples to go and make disciples that would just like them also follow and obey Him.
The disciples of Jesus Christ only have one teacher and that is Jesus Christ Himself. Jesus Christ manifests Himself in those who seek Him and who believe in Him. He is spirit and He promised His Holy Spirit to come and dwell in those who believe
in Him, those who obey Him. That is the mystery of all ages, Christ in us, Jesus Christ our Teacher comes and He dwells in men; He dwells in His disciples, in those who seek Him, who obey Him, and who wish to follow Him. Jesus Christ did not send us a
book, He did not send us the Bible. He manifests Himself in the form of the Holy Spirit. He is spirit and if we do not have the Spirit of Christ we do not belong to Him. He is our teacher and He does not hide Himself from us; people just expect to see and experience a physical manifestation. They want to see a person, they want to see Jesus in the flesh, but Jesus is not in the flesh. He is God, He is spirit and He manifests Himself, He reveals Himself through and in His Spirit dwelling in those who seek Him, who follow Him and who wish to obey Him; those who obey the gospel of Jesus Christ, who accept Him who obey His words, repent of their former senseless existence, of following after their own desires, who obey Him, cleanse themselves of all
unrighteousness, and who are baptized in water, who are born again of the Spirit of God and receive the Spirit of Christ
dwelling in them. They are taught and guided by the Holy Spirit they do not follow after men, they are not guided by men, they do not seek for answers in a book or in the scriptures because their Teacher abides in them.
Jesus Christ comes and lives in those who accepted Him and who have become born-again who are part of His body, part of His kingdom; that is the mystery of God in us, Emmanuel Jesus Christ dwelling in us. That is the mystery that very few Christians understand because they have never known God, they've never known Jesus Christ, they do not know who the Holy Spirit is and that is why many of them blaspheme Him; they reject Him and
they go into damnation. There is only one God, there is only one Teacher and that is Jesus Christ.
God is spirit and He manifests himself in the Holy Spirit, in Jesus Christ dwelling in those who are His, His children. They have the Spirit of Christ, they are one with the Master.
Have you met Jesus Christ? Have you received the Holy Spirit? Have you found your Teacher? Are you guided and taught by Him?
Do you know Him for real? There's only One WAY and that is Jesus
Christ, He is the WAY, He is the LIFE, He is the TRUTH, He is the Spirit. Do you know Him and do you follow Him?
May Jesus bless you.

Presumption and Holy Spirit Guidance
As born-again children of God, filled with the Holy Spirit, we have to be led by the Holy Spirit. Those who are being led by the Spirit of God they are the children of God. It is important that we know the voice of the Holy Spirit, that we listen and that we follow Him, that we go after Him and that we do not run
ahead of Him, because if we run ahead of Him we will get confused, distracted and disillusioned.
When God speaks to you, you must wait on Him for further instruction. When He reveals something to you, you must not jump to conclusions or become presumptuous, make predictions and run
after those predictions. We must follow Jesus Christ step-by-step. Jesus is not in a hurry and we should not be in a hurry ether. We should wait on Him and follow Him.
In February of 2008 I heard a voice speaking to me twice the same night; He said to me "Jesus is coming, are you ready?"
I went to sleep and a few hours later I woke up again after hearing the voice saying to me:"Jesus is coming, are you ready?"
I got the fright of my life and I thought that Jesus was coming any moment. I called my family and I warned everybody that I came across because I assumed that Jesus was about to come any moment.
Did Jesus say that? No He only said "Jesus is coming, are you ready?" Since that time Jesus has come for many people. Many people have died without Jesus and He might come for some others today; they might also die today and then Jesus has come for them. It was eight years ago that I heard those words and then I thought that Jesus was coming immediately, it would be
the end of time.
I'm thankful that I was wrong in my assumption because I've learned so much since those years. I have been able to witness and bring many others to Jesus. I have learned so much more in those years, my relationship with Jesus has become so much closer. I'm glad that I was wrong in my assumption. Since that time Jesus has spoken to me many times and told me things, but I have learned not to jump to conclusions, not to be presumptuous, but to wait on Him when He speaks to me and when He reveals something to me I pray about it and I wait on Him. He will reveal more to me if He so wishes but His command to me is to follow Him one day, one step at a time, and not to run ahead of Him, not to be presumptuous, not to make predictions.
Nobody knows what will happen today or tomorrow. We have this moment and we have this day and we must live this day to please Jesus Christ. The future is in the hands of Jesus and He is in control. He knows what He is doing and He only reveals to us what we need to know to do His will, today. If He speaks to us we must listen. If He commands us to do something we must do it and not presume or assume things, we must not make predictions, but we must follow the Master every day, one step at a time then
we will never be deceived, we will never be disappointed, because our expectation is not what we thought or hoped that would happen; our expectation is Jesus Christ and our desire is to do His will and be pleasing to Him today, and every day that He gives us. Do not run ahead of Jesus. Wait on Him and follow Him step by step, then you will never be disappointed, you will
never be disillusioned, because Jesus is God. Be still and know that Jesus is God, and that He is in control.
Trust Him and stay with Him; do not run ahead of Him
May Jesus bless you.

Arrogant Christians
Most people who call themselves Christians are extremely arrogant. They make certain claims based on Bible verses and on what they believe, based on their confession of faith and many of them think they can manipulate God. Those who are truly born again of the Spirit of God, those who have met Jesus Christ, do
not lay any claims. We know how dependent we are on Jesus Christ. We know that He is our salvation, we are not saved yet; we have the hope of salvation. He has saved us from the bondage of sin and He has brought us into His wonderful Light and He has given us the hope of salvation, if we follow Him until the end.
If we become His disciples and follow and obey Him, if we do His will and we are pleasing to Him until the end then we have the hope of salvation. Many Christians believe that they are saved
and that they have security of salvation and they will quote you scripture verses to prove their salvation. Many preachers are like that but none of them know Jesus Christ, none of them are born again, none of them are disciples of Jesus Christ. You need to be a humble disciple of Jesus Christ, a servant of the kingdom of heaven; you need to endure with Jesus Christ and
follow Him, serve Him, obey Him, submit to Him, deny yourself everyday pick up your cross and follow Him until the very end.
You have to endure with Jesus Christ until the end to have the final prize of eternal life. There is no room for arrogance for a disciple of Jesus Christ because a person who bears a cross has laid down everything, he has a laid down all claims to himself and he only seeks the approval of Jesus Christ. Humble
yourself before Jesus, seek Him with all your heart. Obey Him, turn away from all sin, be baptized in water, cleanse yourself of all unrighteousness, seek His indwelling Holy Spirit to come and abide in, you seek the guidance of His Holy Spirit. Humbly seek Him and follow Him every day until the very end. That is
what He requires of every disciple, every true follower of Jesus Christ is humble and obedient to his Master. Are you a disciple of Jesus?
Christ may Jesus bless you.

Faith in Action
Faith without ACTION is dead.
Many people believe IN Jesus for salvation but they do nothing about their faith, they just believe. They believe in Jesus and they believe that because they believe in Jesus Christ, they will have salvation.
They will not have salvation, they will be terribly disappointed in the end, when Jesus says to them go away I never knew you. Jesus said: why do you call Me, Lord, Lord and you do not what I say.
If we believe IN Jesus we must obey His COMMANDS. We must do what He commanded us to do.
We read in Matthew 28:18 "Jesus said to His disciples All authority has been given to Me, in Heaven and on earth. Go therefore 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. In other words, go and teach them to do as I commanded you to do.
Faith without works is dead but real faith produces action.
We read in Mark chapter 16:15 :Jesus said to His disciples go into all the world and preach the Gospel to all creation. He who has believed and has been baptized will be saved. But he who has disbelieved will be condemned. These signs will accompany those who have believed, those who have taken action. In My Name they will cast out demons, they will speak with new tongues, they will pick up serpents and if they drink any deadly poison it will not hurt them. They will lay their hands on the sick and they will recover.
If we put action to our faith, then these signs will follow, these things will happen. Lives will be changed. Sinners will be set free from their sin. Wars will end. Prayers will be answered.
We will see the POWER of GOD manifested in our lives. Faith without works produces nothing, it is dead, but faith that goes into action and obeys Jesus Christ produces life, it produces results. We see the Hand of God moving in our lives and in in the lives of other people.
Those who do not OBEY the Words of Jesus, His commands, and do not put into ACTION what He commanded, they will perish. They will not have eternal life. We have to OBEY the Words of Jesus. Repent and be baptized in water and we will receive the baptism in the Holy Spirit, IF we put our faith into action.
Jesus Christ will ANSWER our prayers if we obey His Words. If we Obey the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Go and read the Words that Jesus spoke as they are recorded in the Gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John and put those Word into action.
If you do not REACT and Do what Jesus commanded, then your faith is worthless., it will produce nothing. You will only be disappointed, because you will not get to know Jesus Christ and you will not have eternal Life.
Our faith has to come into action by our deeds. and then we will EXPERIENCE the Hand of God. We will hear the Voice of God. We will see the Hand of God moving IN and THROUGH our lives and through the lives of others. Our faith must produce ACTION.
May Jesus bless you.

Keep on PRAYING Never give up
Believers give up praying too soon, too quickly. They pray and then when they do not immediately get an answer, they stop praying and they lose hope.
If we go to Jesus in prayer we must be serious. We must not just go for what we want or what we want to ask for. We must go to Jesus in prayer because we want to be with Him. He is our Lord and our Master, He is our Father, our Keeper, our Shepherd. He cares for us, and we must care for Him; we must care to spend time with Him. If we go to Him in prayer we must go expectantly and we must wait on Him, like a child goes to his parent. The only one who can really help us is Jesus. But if we give up too soon then we might not receive what we asked for.
Many people ask Jesus for the baptism in the Holy Spirit, and they don't receive it, then they give up. Jesus rewards those who diligently seek Him, those who are serious. If we are sick or if we are in need, we need to pray, keep on praying, keep on knocking, because Jesus said that if we keep on knocking the door will be opened to us; we need to keep on praying, keep on hoping, keep on believing, keep on trusting Him. He will answer us if we do not give up. And when He does answer us we must give Him the glory; we must thank Him and we must testify. we must tell the world that Jesus Christ is alive.
Do not give up. Jesus said that those who endure until the end will be saved, those who keep on praying and expectingly believe, they will receive.
Keep on praying, do not give up. Jesus will answer your prayer if you are serious.
May Jesus bless you.

Pray for each other
The world is a sick, sad, sorry place. Many lives are destroyed. Many families are broken up. Many marriages are broken up. There is only one person who can help us, who can fix us. There is only one person who can fix the world and that is Jesus Christ.
We cannot fix things by arguing each other, by blaming others, but there is one person who can fix all of us and who can fix up this world and that is Jesus Christ. But we need to pray. If we pray, He will answer our prayers, but before we pray we must repent of our sins, of our part in that which went wrong. We must ask Jesus to forgive us and we must turn away from our wicked ways, pray for each other so that we can be healed, that God can heal our marriages, our families, our countries and our world, but we need to pray.
We need to humble ourselves before Jesus Christ, the King of kings and the Lord of lords; He will answer our prayers if we turn away from our wicked ways, our selfishness and we seek Him, submit ourselves to Him and call on Him from a pure heart. Jesus will hear our prayers and He will answer and He will fix our relationships, He will fix up that which is wrong if we just humble ourselves and pray.
Do not fight each other but pray for each other and let the love of Jesus reign in our hearts, and then His peace will also reign in our hearts, in our families and in our world.
Pray for each other. we have to PRAY for each other.
May Jesus bless you.

Strength for the road ahead
If you decide to follow Jesus Christ then you enter a war zone because satan and all his demons will come at you to try and distract you.
You will be persecuted from all sides and you will need strength for the road ahead. That is why Jesus Christ promised the Holy Spirit baptism to those who want to follow Him. They will need that strength for the road ahead, they will need the power to overcome; but very few believers want to overcome. Many of them believe the lies of Satan that they will be raptured out of trouble that they can carry on living in sin as long as they
believe in Jesus, and then before the tribulation comes Jesus will come and snatch them away, take them out of trouble before the wrath of God comes on the unbelievers. That is a lie from
satan. Believers like that lie. They do not want Jesus, they do not want holiness and they do not want the Holy Spirit, they do not want the power for the road ahead.
When you talk about the Holy Spirit baptism believers run away
because they think that they will just be snatched away from trouble, Jesus will fetch them. They are deceived and they will perish. There is only one way and that is to be righteous and holy, to obey Jesus Christ; turn away from sin, repent be baptized and seek the baptism in the Holy Spirit; come and drink of that Water because without that Water of the Holy Spirit, that strength that comes from Jesus every day, you will not make it.
Eternal life is for those who endure with Jesus until the end, those who overcome; overcome the flesh, sin and the world, and who endure with Jesus Christ in holiness. He is not coming for believers who live in sin, believers who do not care for Him and believers who do not want Him, neither do they want is Holy Spirit. You can take a horse to the water but you cannot make him drink. You can point people to Jesus and tell them the
truth but you cannot force them to follow Jesus, you cannot force them to drink of the living water that Jesus offers to all those who wish to follow Him; all those who wish to come after Him.
Have you received the baptism in the Holy Spirit? Are you filled with the Spirit? Do you drink from the fountain of Life every day? Do you eat of the Bread of Life every day? Do you hear from Jesus? Are you filled? Are you equipped to stand against satan, or are you also deceived and you believe that Jesus will come and fetch you because you believe in Him?
Jesus said:"Why do you call me Lord, Lord and you do not what I say?" If we do not obey Jesus, obey His teachings, His commands, repent, be baptized, be holy, we will perish. No sinners will enter into the kingdom of heaven. If you do not want the Holy
Spirit, the power that He gives to those who thirst for righteousness and for the Spirit of God in them, if you do not
have that, if you do not want that you will perish. There's only one way; humble yourself before Jesus seek Him with all your
heart and come and drink of that water of life that He offers to those who want eternal life, to those who are willing to deny themselves, pick up their cross and follow Jesus Christ until the very end.
May Jesus bless you.

Keep Fighting
The moment that you decide to follow Jesus Christ, you enter a battle field. From that moment onwards, satan will try everything to destroy you, to cause you to fail, to cause you to give up and stop following Jesus. You will have all the forces of evil coming against you and you will have to fight them off or else you will be distracted, you will be defeated. You will have to fight your own flesh, you will have to fight temptation and you will have to fight off satan. You will have to fight every day of your life . It will be a struggle.
Every time that you are defeated by the devil, every time that he puts you down, he strikes you down, every time that you stumble it gets harder and more difficult to get up and to follow Jesus again. You become disheartened and most people give up. It is a constant struggle and therefor it is only those who endure with Jesus until the very end , those who overcome, themselves, the desires of the flesh, temptation and demons, and the forces of satan , it is only those people that will win the prize of eternal life.
Jesus said those who endure until the end, they will be saved. The moment that you decide to follow Jesus Christ the Holy Spirit will be there to convict you, to warn you, but you need power to overcome. You need power to endure every day and to win that battle or else you will be defeated. If you do not constantly pray and stay focused on Jesus Christ, you will not stand against the devil, he will knock you down. You need to be vigilant, you need to be focused on Jesus and above all you need POWER; you need the power of the Holy Spirit INSIDE of you and that is why Jesus promised the Holy Spirit IN those who OBEY Him. You need to OBEY Jesus Christ, take a stand against satan, take a stand against the flesh, take a stand against sin. repent from sin, stand against sin; be baptized in water for the washing off of your sin, DIE to sin and when you come up out of that water after being baptized you are a new man in Christ, a new creature, a person who has made up his mind to struggle and to fight and to overcome until the very end. Jesus promised that for those who repent and who are baptized in water, He will give them the baptism in the Holy Spirit, His Spirit will come and dwell in them. He will give them the power to overcome.
If you obey Jesus an \d you repent and are baptized in water, then seek the baptism in the Holy Spirit and Jesus will FILL you with the Holy Spirit so that you will have the power to overcome the attacks of satan. You will have the power to not only defend yourself but to overcome. But you have to endure with Jesus, you have to obey the Holy Spirit. If you live according to the flesh, according to your own desires and if you give in to the temptations of satan then you will be defeated, but if you live according to the Spirit; if you listen to the Holy Spirit, obey the Holy Spirit and follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit you will overcome. Without the Holy Spirit you cannot make it.
Jesus promised the Holy Spirit to all who seek Him, and wish to overcome, to all who wish to enter the kingdom of heaven and win the prize of eternal life. You need to FIGHT, you need to get up every morning fighting; you need to go to bed at night praying, fighting satan because he will attack you at all times. But if the Spirit of God is in you and you pray in the spirit always, then you will be able to stand against satan.
Are you filled with the Holy Spirit? Are you fighting against satan? Or are you being defeated? Many believers fall into sin and they fall into temptation every day and they want to repent every day. You cannot get up every time. Every time you are defeated it becomes more difficult to get up and follow Jesus again. If you allow satan to knock you down he will defeat you. You have to fight all the time.
Jesus said:"Watch and pray that you do not fall into temptation." If satan trips you up and you fall you might just not get up again. You need to fight and endure with Jesus every day until the very end.
Are you fighting? Or are you giving in? If you give in and give up Jesus will not help you but if you fight He will be there with you to strengthen you, to help you, to guide you, so that you can overcome and enter His kingdom. Are you fighting? And are you overcoming?
May Jesus bless you.

Seek the Kingdom not the Gifts
Many believers are seeking for the
gifts of God. They want eternal life, they want the Holy Spirit baptism,
they want the gifts of the Holy Spirit but they will not receive
because they do not obey Jesus.
Jesus did not command us to seek for
the gifts. He freely gives the gifts to those who obey Him. Jesus
commanded us to seek the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and then
He will freely give those gifts to us. We have been placed here for a
purpose and Jesus Christ called us for His purpose, to be Light in this
world, to work for His kingdom, to serve Him, and then He will freely
give us those wonderful gifts, eternal life, the gifts of the Spirit; in
order to equip us for service for His kingdom.
Are we seeking for
the gifts or do we seek His kingdom, His righteousness? Do we seek the
will of God and do we want to fulfill His purpose? If we only seek the
gifts we will receive nothing. We need to seek Jesus, His kingdom, His
righteousness, His purpose and work for His kingdom then we will freely
receive everything else that we need to do His will and in the end He
will give us the Kingdom.
May Jesus bless you.

Stay out of church
Your eternal salvation is a matter strictly between you and Jesus Christ, and nobody else can help you with it. The only person who can help us is Jesus Christ Himself. The only One who will decide who will enter into the kingdom of heaven and who will not go in there is Jesus Christ. He alone is the WAY, the TRUTH and the LIFE. He is the final judge of mankind and He will judge all men for their deeds.
Every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, even those who rejected Him.
Church cannot help you; church cannot help you to get into heaven. Church cannot save you. Church cannot show you the way. Jesus Christ is the WAY. The only person who helps you is the one who points you to Jesus Christ. Church is a deception. Church is a man made institution, it is like a butcher shop, they do not care for you and they cannot help you. They can only take your money and give you false security.
You need to bow down before Jesus Christ the Living God, repent of your sin, obey Him, be baptized in water, by any fellow believer, any other child of God. You don't need to go to church. Any other follower of Jesus Christ can baptize you, and then, if you seek Jesus with all your heart, He will baptize you in the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Christ; and He will guide you into all truth. You do not need anybody else to teach you. All you need is Jesus Christ.
Read the words of Jesus as recorded in the gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, and obey them; and Jesus Christ will reveal Himself to you.
You need to follow and obey Jesus Christ every day. He will speak to you. He will teach you and He will guide you. If you seek Him, if you go after Him; but if you reject Him and ignore Him , then He will also reject you, then you will not enter into the kingdom of heaven. Do not place false hope in people, in preachers, in churches; they cannot help you. Only Jesus Christ can help you.
Seek Him with all your heart and He will reveal Himself to you. Stay with Him until the very end and He will give you eternal life.
May Jesus bless you.

Jesus Christ will guide you
Jesus will guide you and He will take care of you IF you seek to do His will, if you go after Him. He will guide you in each and every aspect of your life. He will guide you in your studies, in your job; He will tell you where to live, He will send you the right spouse, He will tell you which car to buy. He will tell you everything that you need to know and need to do to achieve His will. That is IF you go after Jesus, IF you seek His will.
Jesus said:"Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and then all the other things will be added unto you." But people do not seek the will of God. They do not want to do God's will. They want God to assist them in their plans, to make them rich, to give them their desires. They do not desire the will of God. They are not seeking the kingdom of God and therefor their prayers are not answered. They pray with wrong motives, they want to fulfill their own selfish desires. They are not interested in Jesus, nor in the kingdom of God.
If we follow Jesus, He will guide us, He will teach us and He will supply in all our needs. He will tell us exactly what we must do, where we must go, but we must seek His will.
Jesus cares for us and therefor He will often stand in our way, our plans will be disrupted. Things will not work out the way that we want, because Jesus cares for us. It is not the will of God that we perish and there is only one way to be pleasing to Him. There is only one way to enter the kingdom of heaven and that is to seek the kingdom of god and to follow Jesus Christ.
It is in vain that we pray if we are not interested in the kingdom of God. It is in vain that we ask Jesus for His guidance if our motives are not pure. Jesus gave His life so that we can have life; if we want to have eternal life, we must give our life to Him, we must live our life for Him and His kingdom and then we will have REAL LIFE.
Without Jesus Christ there is no life. Without Jesus we labor in vain because in the end it will all be in vain, it will go to destruction.
Jesus Christ will supply in all our needs and He will guide us every step of the way until the end, IF we go after Him, IF we follow Him.
May Jesus bless you.

Warned and protected by the Holy Spirit - Testimony
If you serve and follow Jesus Christ He will teach you, He will guide you, He will protect you, He will warn you, He will tell you all the things that you need to know; but you need to trust in Him and not lean on your own understanding.
Jesus Christ has told me many things that I did not know. He has warned me about people. He has kept me from danger, deception and from death. Some years ago I was invited to go and preach at a small Church in a township, a ghetto, it was a very dangerous place. I used to go on Sunday mornings and the one Sunday morning I woke up at four o'clock in the morning. I had had a dream that I had been shot and killed on my way to this little church. I called the pastor of this little church and I told him that Jesus warned me not to come. He was very disappointed and he said Jesus will protect me, but I knew I had to take seriously the warning of the Lord, I did not go. The very next day some social workers who went to hand out food were killed in that same township.
Not so long ago I warned a man about his recklessness and he was very mad at me, he was very upset with me and Jesus warned me to stay away from this person, I had a dream that this man waited for me on a lonely road and he was very friendly with me; he drew me close to him to show me something and then he pulled out a gun
which he put to my face. I woke up and I knew that Jesus was warning me to stay away from this person.
Some years ago I was quite impressed with TBN (Trinity Broadcasting Network) and the preachers on TBN but Jesus spoke to me and He warned me. Hhe showed me that Paul Crouch who was in charge of TBN, was selling little coffins. Jesus also gave me a dream about Joyce Meyers; He showed me that Joyce Meyers was
preaching to parrots and she was making parrots. Jesus also spoke to me about Benny Hinn that he spends more money on his makeup
than most people earn an income.
Believers talk about spiritual discernment, and then they want to
discern from the Bible but they are not hearing from Jesus, they are using their own judgment and going by their own understanding; they never heard from Jesus. Those who are being led by the Spirit of God, they are the children of God. If we follow Jesus we must ask Him about everything. I have asked Jesus
about many things in my life, many decisions, and He clearly showed me. He gave me guidance. If you follow Jesus He will speak to you clearly. He will give you guidance direction and understanding. He will warn you. He will keep you from los and from danger, but you have to keep your eyes on Jesus. You have to trust Him, obey Him, must listen when He speaks to you. If you
trust in other people and in your own understanding, then you cannot follow Jesus Christ you have to trust Jesus; ask Him, wait on Him and He will speak to you in a way that you will clearly
understand. If you follow Jesus you must receive your guidance, direction, wisdom and understanding from Him. You must pray and He will answer you. If any man needs wisdom let him ask of God, who gives to all men freely. The Holy Spirit will guide us into all truth, if we trust Him, if we ask Him, listen and obey. But if we doubt Him He will not answer us. We can only follow Jesus Christ if we truly trust Him.
May Jesus bless you.

Pray with Sincerity
God does not hear all prayers. If we are not sincere when we pray, then our prayer is not acceptable to God. We read the words of Jesus Christ in Matthew 6: 5. He said: “When you pray, you are not to be like the hypocrites; for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and on the street corners so that they may be seen by men. Truly I say to you, they have their reward in full. 6“But you, when you pray, go into your inner room, close your door and pray to your Father who is in secret, and your Father who sees what is done in secret will reward you.
7“And when you are praying, do not use meaningless repetition as the Gentiles do, for they suppose that they will be heard for their many words. 8“So do not be like them; for your Father knows what you need before you ask Him.
9“Pray, then, in this way:
‘Our Father who is in heaven,
Hallowed be Thy name.
10‘Thy kingdom come.
They will be done,
On earth as it is in heaven.
11‘Give us this day our daily bread.
12‘And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.
13‘And do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.’
14“For if you forgive others for their transgressions, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. 15“But if you do not forgive others, then your Father will not forgive your transgressions."
We must be serious when we pray. Very often people repeat the same prayer, the same words every night. They just say a quick rhyme. Even if we would repeat the Lord's Prayer, that I have just read, and we do not mean it, we are not sincere in our hearts, then that prayer is meaningless. But if we are serious and we pray from our heart, then our prayer will be answered.
We have to come humbly before God and pray to Him from our heart, with sincerity. Pray to Jesus, say to Him what is in your heart, but BE SINCERE because we cannot fool God and we must not try and fool around with God. God is not mocked and we cannot deceive God. We must come in sincerity before Him and He will answer our prayers.
May Jesus bless you.

Rapture woes and disappointments
Many churches and ministries are built and sustained around rapture teachings and theories. They make predictions about
the rapture, the second coming of Jesus Christ and the taking away of the faithful believers to escape the wrath of God that will come on the world. Their predictions about the rapture fail and then many people are disillusioned and severely disappointed that they were not taken away, they were not raptured. Their
expectation was for and escape from it all, from this world, from coming tribulation.
The sad truth is that these people do not know Jesus Christ and they do not understand the gospel of Jesus Christ. The gospel of Jesus Christ is about to the kingdom of God right here and now, serving Jesus Christ in spirit and in truth and enduring with Him until the very end. He did not promise us an escape. He commands us to be faithful to Him and to endure with Him through
tribulation until the very end. He commands us to flee worldly lusts, to be righteous and holy and to be led by the Holy Spirit in order to do His will, to bear fruit and serve His purpose; to build the kingdom of God here on earth, to bring others to
repentance and to knowledge of Jesus Christ, to bring them into relationship, into communion with Him so that they can know Him and serve Him. Many people are extremely disillusioned and disappointed because they were hoping for an escape and most of these are living like the rest of the world, they are in sin, in fornication, they are conformed to the world that are part of the world, but they believe that they will be raptured, taken away from the calamity that is coming, just because they believe in Jesus Christ and they confess His Name. Jesus Christ will say to most of those people, "go away I never knew you, you workers of wickedness."
It is time to wake up to seek the truth, to seek Jesus Christ, to obey Him, repent be baptized in water and seek the baptism in the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Christ dwelling in you so that you can be led by the Holy Spirit and know Jesus Christ by revelation, to become part of His kingdom. Jesus is not promising us a sudden escape. He has put us here for a purpose,
for His purpose for His kingdom to do the work that He has prepared for us to do, to serve Him in His kingdom right
here and now.
Do you know Jesus Christ, the King of kings and the Lord of lords? ave you received the Holy Spirit and are you led by the Holy Spirit? Do you know the Shepherd's voice, do you follow and
obey Him, are you one of His sheep? Or have you also been deceived and disillusion by wicked operators that promise you an escape from tribulation? There is only one way and that is to know follow and obey Jesus Christ and to serve Him until the very end. Only those who endure with Him until the very end, His faithful disciples, they will enter into His rest.
May Jesus bless you.

Making Disciples of Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ came to save the world, all those who would become His disciples; those who would believe in Him and who would follow Him, go after Him and submit themselves to His discipline. Those who would accept Him as Lord and Master and
who would serve Him as Lord, His disciples, believed in Him, they obeyed His Commandments and they followed Him until the very end. And Jesus Christ commanded them to go into all the world and make disciples just as they themselves were disciples. He commanded them to preach the gospel, His words, to the whole world. Those who would believe and be baptized, will be saved but those who disbelieve, would be condemned, and those who would believe would also receive the gift of the Holy Spirit, the very same as the disciples received the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost.
The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Christ, dwelling in every disciple. Those who are led by the Spirit of God, they are
children of God, they are the sons of God. Jesus did not come to call believers, He came to call sinners to become disciples,
to repent from their wicked ways and to become His disciples, His followers who would submit themselves to His discipline
and who would follow the guidance of His Holy Spirit. His disciples made other disciples, who would repent be baptized and receive the Holy Spirit and then follow the guidance of the Holy
Spirit. They themselves would become disciples.
Only disciples, true followers of Jesus Christ will have eternal life; those who go after Him, who submit themselves to Him, to the guidance and the discipline of His Spirit dwelling in them, they are the children of God, they will enter the kingdom of heaven. Those who just believe, that do not obey, who do not go after Jesus Christ and do not submit themselves to His discipline, His lordship, they will not enter into His kingdom. Those who refused to accept Him and to serve Him as Lord and Master, will have no part in His kingdom.
Jesus came to call disciples, not just believers. Have you become a disciple of Jesus Christ? Did you repent after you
heard the gospel? Were you baptized in water and did you receive the baptism in the Holy Spirit like the first disciples did? And do you follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit? Are you a child of God or are you just believer? We have to be disciples to be children of God. Are you a disciple of Jesus Christ.
May Jesus bless you.

Church doesn't want you to follow Jesus
The kingdom of God is about knowing and following Jesus Christ, being
His disciples. Jesus Christ commanded His disciples to go into all the
world and make disciples of all nations, to baptize
them in water and to teach them all that He commanded.
Jesus Christ is alive and He gives His Holy Spirit in those who
believe in Him, who repent and who are baptized in water. The Holy Spirit will teach them and will guide them, will tell
them all that they need to know, once they have become His disciples. His sheep listen to His voice and they follow Him
and they do as He commands.
Churches do not want you to know that Jesus Christ is alive;
most
of them do not know that Jesus is alive, they do not know Him. Churches
want you to join the church, support the church financially, and come
to church. Churches are social clubs, they are businesses ,they increase
membership to grow themselves, to make more money, but they do not take
you to Jesus. If they
would take you to Jesus, and you would follow Jesus, then there would be no church organizations.
Jesus
did not command His disciples to build churches but you make disciples.
Believers have been hijacked, they've been diverted; they've been
deceived into becoming church members
instead of being disciples of
Jesus Christ. Those who are being led by the Spirit of God, they are the
children of God; being a church member and attending church will not
get you into the kingdom of heaven. You need to be a disciple of Jesus
Christ, you need to follow him every day. You need to know Him for real,
listen to His voice and do what He commands you to do, every day.
Have you met Jesus Christ? Is He real to you? Do you listen to His voice and do you follow Him every day?
May Jesus bless you.
