Do Not Worry





Jesus Christ commands us
not to worry, not to be concerned about tomorrow because we cannot
change anything by worrying. He says that our Heavenly Father knows
what we need and He will freely give it to us, He will supply in all
our needs because He takes care of the birds of the heavens, He will
also take care of His children. Jesus gives peace beyond all
understanding to those who obey Him, but as it is written: There is
no peace for the sinner.
The sinner has a reason to
worry even though he is a believer. Jesus said He will never leave
us, He will never forsake us, but He also said that if we deny Him,
He will certainly also deny us. If we make God our refuge, if we
live for the kingdom of God and we obey the commands of Jesus then we
can pray with confidence and we can trust the Lord and know that He
will answer our prayer, that He will take care of us. But if we
disobey Him and we live selfishly for ourselves, if we have no
business with God, if we don't care for Jesus Christ and for His
kingdom then we have reason to be worried. It is only when we are in
obedience to Jesus, in Christ, that He gives us peace beyond all
understanding, no matter what our circumstances are, because He is in
control.
They once came to Jesus
and told Him about a tower that fell on people, the Tower of Shiloam,
and they were killed, and Jesus said to them:"If you do not
repent you will perish likewise." There is no peace for the
sinner, no peace for the person who disobeys Jesus Christ, he has
reason to worry not only about his current situation and what is
happening in the world, the uncertainties, the anxiety that is
destroying so many people. It is because of sin, it is because of not
obeying Jesus. They do not have Jesus and therefor they do not have
peace. If we obey Jesus then we have no reason to worry, then we can
have confidence, and His peace will be in us and with us. If we sin
and disobey Him that peace will leave us.
Do you want that peace
that Jesus gives, that peace beyond all understanding? Then obey Him
obey the gospel of Jesus Christ, live in obedience to Him. Repent and
be baptized in water, obey His commands, live holy and righteous and
Jesus Christ will give His peace in you. He will give his Holy Spirit
in you, He will reveal Himself to you and you will be in peace even
though this whole world is falling to pieces, because God is in
control. But He looks after those who take Him seriously, those who
are for Him. If God is for us, who can be against us, but if we are
against God then we are without the protection of God. Jesus said
that He will never leave us He will never forsake us, but if we deny
Him, He will certainly also deny us. If we do not take Him seriously
and we do not obey Him, in our day of trouble, we will call on Him
and He will not answer, because when He called we did not answer, we
were not interested in Him. If we deny Jesus, He will certainly also
deny us but if we seek to please Him, if we live for Him and for His
kingdom, then we can rest at ease, we can be at peace, because He
fills us with His peace that passes all understanding, then we need
not worry.
Are you worried? Are you
concerned about tomorrow, about the future, about what is happening
in the world, about what could happen? Obey the gospel of Jesus
Christ and He will give you peace beyond all understanding. He will
give you peace that you cannot find anywhere else because He takes
care of those who trust Him and who obey Him.
May Jesus bless you.

Walking in the Light





Jesus Christ is the Light
of the world and those who follow Him will not be in darkness. Sadly
most Christians are not following Jesus Christ. They are following
their own mind, their own interpretation of the Bible, the
scriptures, and therefore they stumble. They are confused and they
confuse other people. They lead them astray because they make
predictions based on their own understanding. They are not following
Jesus Christ.
Jesus said we must follow
Him. We cannot run ahead of Him even if He tells us what will happen
in the future. We cannot go ahead of him we must follow Him or else
we will go into darkness. Many people make predictions based on what
Jesus told them, revelation that He gave them and when things do not
work out the way that they expected and they lose faith, they are
disillusioned. They deceive other people. They make predictions of
the rapture and things that will happen in the future, and then those
things never happen and those people that believed those predictions
lose faith in Jesus, but their faith was never in Jesus. Their faith
was in the prediction or in that person who is in darkness, who is
not following Jesus.
We must follow Jesus every
day. He is the future. He is the way, He is the truth, He is the
life. We must follow Him not run ahead of Him. If we follow Jesus we
will never be in darkness. Are we following Jesus every day, one day
at a time? Are we walking in the Light?
May Jesus bless you.

The MISTAKE that Most Christian Believers Make



There is one a big mistake
that most Christian believers make and that is, they never become
disciples, never become followers of Jesus Christ. Most believers,
after they have heard the gospel of Jesus Christ, they become
religious. They join a church and they start working for the church,
but they do not work their relationship with Jesus. Others believe
that they have to abandon everything, quit their job, and go after
Jesus, but they do not know Jesus yet. They do not know His ways.
They do not know His voice, they have not been taught how to follow
him.
The disciples that Jesus
first called went after Him. They did not go out preaching and trying
to win the world. They followed Jesus and He taught them His ways and
it was only after He had qualified them and that He sent them out. We
are called to follow Jesus. Jesus said:"Follow me." We have
to work our relationship with Jesus. Firstly we have to obey His
commands, repent and be baptized in water, live our lives the way
that Jesus commanded. Live according to His words. Live holy and
righteous, seek Him with all our heart and He will reveal Himself to
us. He will teach us and He will guide us. He promised to give the
Holy Spirit in those who seek Him, those who truly love Him, and the
Holy Spirit will teach and guide them in all things.
Most believers never
follow Jesus. Very few believers obey Jesus. Very few repent of their
sin, repent of their own futile ways, repent of a thinking the
worldly way, and living according to the words of Jesus. Very few get
baptized in water, as He commanded and even fewer receive the baptism
of the Holy Spirit. Of those who receive the baptism in the Holy
Spirit, very few follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit. They start
running after people. They become part of a group, a church, an
organization or they follow after some person that they regard as
spiritual, but they are not following Jesus Christ. They all make the
same mistake. They do not go after Jesus. They do not work their
relationship with Jesus, they do not get to know His voice and they
do not follow Him.
Others are serious, they
start seeking Jesus in prayer and in fasting, they receive dreams and
revelations and then they jump to conclusions. Often they run after
their revelations or revelations that they have heard from others and
they are disillusioned. Their life falls to pieces and they blame
God, but they did not stay with Jesus. We have to go after Jesus.
Seek Him with all our heart, clean up our life, live according to His
words; live holy, righteous, seek His approval, seek to hear His
voice. We are not called to change the world and convert the world,
we are called to be witnesses of Jesus. We can only be a witness of
Jesus if we know Him, if our life testifies of Jesus, that the world
can see that we are changed, we have not just taken on religion but
we have become like Jesus.
We can only testify for
Jesus if we have a real relationship with Him. Anybody can go to a
Bible School, become indoctrinated, and then start preaching, start
his own church, start his own organization. That is the way of the
world, the way of the worldly Church; that is not the way of Jesus
Christ. It is not about proselyting and building churches. The gospel
of Jesus Christ is about being disciples and making disciples of
Jesus Christ, walking with Jesus every day in your situation, where
He has called you, getting to know His voice and then, if we cleanse
ourselves of unrighteousness and we make ourselves available for
Jesus, in His time He will use us. He might send us, He might tell us
to go somewhere. He might tell us to go to a different country, or to
a different city, but we have to follow Him. We have to be sure that
we heard from Jesus. We must not look for human sponsors or an
organization or an infrastructure. Our walk must be with Jesus
Christ. If that walk with Jesus is not real, then we are only
fooling ourselves.
Some people abandon
everything; they abandon their responsibilities their wife their
children, their debts, that is not what Jesus called us for. We have
to take care of our responsibilities. We cannot just irresponsibly
leave everything. That is not of the Lord. He calls us to live
righteously in this world, to live according to His words, to be led
by His Spirit. Always go back to Jesus, always ask Jesus. Keep on
praying, keep on seeking Him. Keep on trusting Him, keep on expecting
Him. If you're not sure, go back to Jesus. Our duty is to bring glory
to Jesus, and to be pleasing to Him. We can only be pleasing to
Jesus, if we receive feedback, confirmation from Him, we hear His
voice.
His sheep listen to His
voice and they follow Him. They are not trying to win the world. They
are not trying to preach to everybody. They just want to be pleasing
to the Master and the only way to do that is to be led by the Holy
Spirit, to walk with Jesus day by day. Most believers never come into
that close relationship with Jesus. They get drawn away by other
things and in the end they will stand before Jesus and He will say to
them:"Go way I never knew you." Many will say: "But
Lord but I built churches for you and I preached the gospel and I did
so many things," and He will say:"But you were never with
Me. You maybe did things that you thought were for Me but you did not
follow Me."
Do we know Jesus?
How is our relationship with Him or are we just being religious? Or
are we following after other people, following after our mind? We can
only please Jesus if we are led by the Holy Spirit day by day, moment
by moment. It is all about following Jesus Christ. Are we following
Jesus Christ? Do we know His voice? Do we listen to Him? Are we doing
and what is pleasing to Him and are we receiving confirmation from
Him that we are in His will? Do we have a real relationship with the
Living God, Jesus Christ?
May Jesus bless you.

The FALSE SALVATION Preached in MOST Churches



The gospel of Jesus
Christ, as preached in churches is false, and it will take many
people to hell, because the gospel as they preach it in churches does
not make people disciples of Jesus Christ. To believe in Jesus is not
sufficient. We have to become His disciples, follow and obey Him.
Jesus never commanded us
to go to church, to become church members. He commanded His disciples
to go into all the world and make disciples of all nations, baptizing
them in the Name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit,
teaching them to obey all that He commanded, that which He taught
them; His words as I also recorded in the Gospels Matthew, Mark, Luke
and John. There is only one way to salvation and that is the gospel
of Jesus Christ, the way that He preached it. He said:"Follow
Me." If we do not follow and obey Jesus Christ we will not enter
His kingdom.
Church membership does not
lead to salvation. To believe in Jesus cannot save you if you do not
obey Him, if you do not repent, turn away from sin, turn away from
your own ways, turn away from the world, turn to Jesus and follow and
obey Him. Live holy and righteous, be baptized in water, as He
commanded and then be baptized with the Holy Spirit that he promised
to those who obey Him. If we do not have the Holy Spirit we cannot
follow Jesus Christ. If we do not follow and obey by the guidance of
the Holy Spirit we have no relationship with Jesus Christ.
Religious practices,
reading your Bible, cannot save you. It is your relationship with
Jesus Christ. If you do not have a real relationship with Jesus and
if you do not walk with Him daily, then you do not know Him. If you
do not follow and obey Him, you cannot be part of His kingdom. Those
who are being led by the Spirit of God they are the children of God,
not the churchgoers and the Bible readers, and the believers. It is
those who follow Jesus and who worship Him in spirit and in truth,
those who are led by His Spirit and who do His will.
The gospel that is
preached in churches is deception. It tells you to believe in Jesus
and then to serve the church, become a church member, but neither the
leadership nor any of the members have any relationship with Jesus
Christ. They do not get their guidance or direction from Jesus. They
are not serving Jesus, they are serving themselves, their own
desires, and the church. The church is about money about, its own
little kingdom. It is the kingdom of satan in this world.The
organized church is not part of the kingdom of God.
Jesus calls us to
discipleship, individual discipleship just like the first believers,
who obeyed the gospel, who repented were baptized in water and filled
with the Holy Spirit. They were taught to obey Jesus' teachings and
to follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit, but some became religious.
They started churches and they deviated from the gospel of Jesus
Christ. They deviated from Jesus and they led many to hell. We are
called to be disciples, men and women of God who walk with God and
who follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit. If we are not led by the
Holy Spirit then we are not part of the kingdom of God, then we are
not serving Jesus Christ. Have you become a disciple of Jesus Christ?
Do you know His voice? Do you listen to do Him? Do you follow Him and
do you serve Him. Have you become part of His kingdom? Do you truly
know and serve Jesus Christ, the King? Are you part of His kingdom?
The gospel of Jesus Christ
is about the kingdom of God, bringing people into the kingdom of God,
to serve Him, even now here on earth. Are you part of that kingdom of
God under the lordship of Jesus Christ, King of kings and Lord of
lords. There is only one way: Serve the King, Jesus Christ.
May Jesus bless you.

Learning Obedience



Every born-again child of
God must learn obedience because, those who disobey Jesus Christ have
no place in the kingdom of heaven. They are the children of
disobedience and will end up in hell. Jesus Christ also learned
obedience through that which He suffered.
We read in Hebrews 5: 8
that “Jesus Christ, even though He was a Son, He learned obedience
through that which He suffered, and being made perfect, He became to
those who obey Him, the source of eternal salvation." It is not
sufficient just to believe in Jesus. It is not sufficient just to
read the words of Jesus, His commands, to read the Bible, study the
Bible. We have to obey Jesus Christ. We have to obey His commands. We
have to obey the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Those who disobey Jesus
will not enter His kingdom.
Jesus Christ, our Master,
learned obedience through what He suffered and we will also learn
through what we suffer. He will put us through suffering so that we
can learn to endure, that we can learn to obey. Jesus Christ will
teach us obedience through suffering because we learn through
suffering. Nobody learns through just reading or listening. We learn
through suffering. We learn through pain and practical experience.
Those who are wise submit
themselves to the discipline of Jesus, and they recognize His hand in
their lives when they go through suffering. They do not run away from
Him, but they draw closer to Him and they learn from Him so that they
can be perfected. Jesus said:"Be perfect like your Father in
heaven is perfect," and He is working perfection in us through
suffering. If we disobey Him we will suffer. He will teach us
understanding through suffering but we will learn to absolutely obey
Him, to obey His words, to obey and follow the guidance of His Holy
Spirit because the disobedient has no place in the kingdom of God.
Are we learning from the
suffering that God is putting in our lives? Are we being drawn closer
to Jesus or do we run from Him? Do we hide from Him? Do we continue
in our wrongful ways and our selfish ways or do we come to Him and
submit and say:"Lord, Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done. Thou
art the Potter, I am the clay. For me and make me according to Thy
will." If we are not willing to be changed into His likeness, if
we are not willing to be made useful for His kingdom, then we are not
suitable for His kingdom. We all have to learn obedience through
suffering. Are we learning obedience through our suffering?
May Jesus bless you.

A New Way of Thinking and Living



The born-again child of
God that follows Jesus Christ has a different way of thinking, from
the carnal Christian and the unbeliever. Not all born again people do
follow Jesus Christ. Not all born again a children of God are being
saved. Many of them have the mindset of the world. Their mind is not
set on Jesus or on the kingdom of God, they still want to fit into
this world, be accepted by the world, and do good, excel, in this
world.
The carnal Christian and
the unbeliever think along the ways of the world. They are
brainwashed by the world and they follow the systems of this world.
They follow the methodology of this world. That is why the church
organizations are Antichrist, they are of the world, they work
according to worldly principles, they are not set on the kingdom of
God. Their mind is set on themselves, on their own survival, on their
own growth and their own welfare, not on the kingdom of God.
If we follow Jesus Christ
and we are part of His kingdom we have a new way of thinking. We do
not think like the world, we set our mind on Christ. We set our mind
on obeying Jesus Christ, on being pleasing to Him, and on His
kingdom, on doing that which the Holy Spirit guides us to, because
those who are being led by the Spirit of God they are the children of
God. The born-again child of God who is actively following Jesus,
puts his mind on Jesus. He puts his mind on being pleasing to Jesus,
on obeying the commands of Jesus, His words. He puts his mind on the
Holy Spirit because he seeks and follows the guidance of the Holy
Spirit and he does not trust his own mind or the propaganda and
brainwashing that is going on in this world. His mind is set on
Christ.
We cannot be part of the
kingdom of God and be pleasing to Jesus if our mind is set on the
things of the world. Our mind must be set on Him. The Apostle Paul
wrote:"Be transformed by the renewal of your mind." If our
mind is set on doing well in this world, being accepted by this
world, being influential and successful in this world, then we have
the mindset of the world that is at enmity with Jesus Christ, that
cannot please Jesus. That is a situation with most Christians. They
do not have the mind of Christ. They have the mindset of the world.
We must have a new way of thinking. Our thinking must be to do
everything that we possibly can to be pleasing to Jesus. Firstly by
obeying Him, obeying His words as they were delivered and recorded
also in the Gospels; Matthew, Mark. Luke and John. Repent be
baptized. Be filled with the Holy Spirit and follow the guidance of
the Holy Spirit.
Jesus said that unless a
person is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God, he cannot
envision, he cannot imagine it, it doesn't make no sense to him. He
needs to be born again and then he can see the kingdom of God, but
many of those who are born again do not trust Jesus, they do not
really believe. Even though they have a vision of the kingdom of God,
many of those are not following Jesus. They have their mind set on
the world and that is why they perish.
We need a new way of
thinking, the kingdom way, the Jesus way, to please Him, and not to
trust in our own understanding, and in our senses, the things that we
see in hear, but on the guidance of the Holy Spirit. That is why, if
we do not have the Spirit of Christ then we do not belong to Him. If
we do not follow and obey the Spirit of Christ we cannot be pleasing
to Him. We cannot please God by living according to the thinking, the
mindset, of this world. Our mind must be set on Jesus and we must be
led by the Holy Spirit. We need to seek and follow the guidance of
the Holy Spirit every day until the very end, in order to enter the
kingdom of God.
Have we put our minds on
Christ? Do we have a new way of thinking? Do we trust more in Jesus
than in the things that we see, the things that we've been taught,
since childhood, the media, the influences of the world, our own
interpretation of the Bible? Do we trust that more than Jesus Christ
or is our mind set on Jesus? Do we trust Him more than anything? Do
we trust His Spirit to guide us in everything? Do we have that new
way of thinking?
May Jesus bless you.

When Did God Stop Speaking?



Many professing
Christians, and among them even preachers, will tell you that God
does not speak, that whatever God wanted to say was recorded in the
Bible, and the Bible is the Word of God. There is nothing further
from the truth. God has always spoken and God has never stopped
speaking. God never changes. God speaks and those with ears listen,
they hear Him. Jesus said:"My sheep hear My voice, and they
follow Me." It is written in the Bible that if any man needs
wisdom let him ask of God who gives to all men freely, and it will be
given to him.
If we draw closer to
Jesus, He draws closer to us and Jesus reveals Himself to those who
seek Him. Those who say that God does not speak just do not know Him.
Those who know Jesus, know His voice, they listen to Him and they
follow Him. If we obey the gospel of Jesus Christ, His words that He
spoke, as they were also recorded in Matthew Mark Luke and John, if
we repent and turn to Jesus, be baptized in water, stop sinning, and
we live according to His words then Jesus reveals Himself to us. He
gives the Holy Spirit in us, Who will speak to us, who will teach us
and guide us, will tell us things to come.
Jesus is alive and He
speaks and those who know Him hear his voice. Many just deny Christ,
among them professing Christians. They prefer not to listen, they are
not interested in hearing what God says, but if we seek Jesus, if we
ask Him He will reveal Himself to us and we will know Him for real.
Jesus Christ is the Living God and He speaks. His sheep hear His
voice they follow Him. Are you one of His sheep? Do you know His
voice and do you follow Him.
May Jesus bless you.

In Fellowship With Jesus Christ



Jesus calls us to be in
fellowship with Him, to walk with Him, to hear from Him, to serve
Him, to be part of His kingdom. We need to be born again to be in
fellowship with Jesus Christ. We need to have the Spirit of Christ
because He connects us to Himself through His Holy Spirit that He
gives in those who obey Him, those who repent and are baptized in
water, and who commit to follow Him, who seek Him with all their
heart. He baptizes them in the Holy Spirit. He connects them to
Himself, so that they can be in fellowship with Him.
The Holy Spirit brings us
into fellowship with Jesus Christ. Those who do not have the Holy
Spirit, do not have fellowship with Jesus Christ. Many have received
the Holy Spirit, Pentecostals, but they are not following the
guidance of the Holy Spirit. They think that because they have
received the Holy Spirit that they have salvation, but they are not
following Jesus. We need to go with Jesus every step of the way. We
need to have fellowship with Him every day.
We cannot have fellowship
with the world and fellowship with Christ. We cannot be in fellowship
with the organizational false Christians and also be in fellowship
with Jesus. If we are in fellowship with Jesus then we do not have
fellowship with the world, we do not have fellowship with church
organizations, because they are not of the same spirit. They do not
have fellowship with Jesus Christ.
Those who follow Jesus
and have fellowship with Him, have fellowship with each other because
their fellowship is with Jesus Christ. They seek to please Him, to do
His will, to serve His kingdom. Jesus calls us to be in that
fellowship with Him, to be part of His kingdom, to work for His
kingdom, to be led by His Spirit, because without Jesus we can do
nothing. You cannot be in fellowship with Jesus by reading your
Bible, by going to church, having fellowship with other believers. We
have to serve Jesus in spirit and in truth. 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 and they have
fellowship with Jesus, they have fellowship with God. Are we in
fellowship with Jesus? Do we follow and obey Him? Do we hear from
Him? Are we led by the Holy Spirit? Most believers do not know Jesus.
They have no fellowship with Him and they are lost, and it is to them
that Jesus will say one day:"Go away, I never knew you, you
workers of wickedness," because they did not have fellowship
with Jesus Christ.
Are we in fellowship with
Jesus? Are we walking with Him every day, being led by His Spirit,
seeking His approval, doing His will being guided by His Spirit
dwelling in us? That is all that matters, is to be in fellowship with
Jesus Christ.
May Jesus bless you.

Stay Connected



We live in a world where
it is essential to be connected, connected to the Internet to have a
cellphone connection or else you can do nothing. You need that
connection, but there is one connection that most
people lack and they don't
even realize it and that is to be connected to Jesus Christ. Without
Jesus we can do nothing.
Many believe in Jesus but
they are not connected to Him, they don't know Him. If we don't have
Jesus, we don't have life. To believe in Jesus cannot save us if we
are not connected to Him. If we are not guided by Him, if we do not
have a relationship with Him, if our connection with Jesus is not
real, then we are only fooling ourselves. Those who are being led by
the Spirit of God they are the sons of God. Those who obey the gospel
of Jesus Christ and who seek Him with all their heart, they get
connected to Jesus, they become part of the kingdom of God; they are
led by the Spirit of God, they are connected. Without that connection
they are lost. If you are not connected to Jesus you don't have any
hope, dear friend. If we are not connected to Jesus we are lost.
Have you connected to
Jesus? Are you staying connected? Are you being led by the Holy
Spirit? Do you hear from Him? His sheep hear His voice, they listen
to Him and they follow Him. Those who are not connected to Jesus are
in darkness, they are lost. Jesus Christ is alive, He is the way, He
is the truth, He is the life. He speaks. His sheep listen to His
voice, they follow Him. Are you one of His sheep? Are you connected?
Do you want to be connected? Jesus promised His spirit in those who
seek Him. Obey the words of Jesus, repent and be baptized in water,
seek Him with all your heart and He will give His Spirit in you; the
Holy Spirit will teach us and guide us and tell us things to come.
The Holy Spirit connects us with Jesus Christ. Have you received the
Holy Spirit? Are you connected to Jesus and are you staying
connected, or has sin and other things come in between you and
Jesus? Have you lost your connection? Get back to Jesus. Get
connected and stay connected or else you will perish, you will not
make it into the kingdom of heaven without your connection. Are you
connected to Jesus?
May Jesus bless you.

Stay in God's Plan



Jesus calls each and every
one of us to follow Him and to walk in His plan, because He has a
plan for each and every disciple. He warned that if somebody wants to
follow Him, they must first count the cost, whether they will be able
to stay with Him until the end. He said that if a person wants to
build a tower he must first determine whether he will have enough
means, money, to finish the tower, or else people will laugh at him
when he starts the project and never completes it. The very same if
we want to follow Him we've first got to count the cost. Are we
willing to submit ourselves to Jesus and if He requires it of us, to
abandon our own plans and follow Him. If we're not willing to do that
we cannot be His disciples, we cannot have eternal life.
We have to commit to
Jesus, be willing to go with Him all the way, until the end, to walk
in His plan, to walk according to His plan, so that we can be part of
His kingdom. That is what the gospel of Jesus Christ is about. It is
about the kingdom of God and walking in His plan. If we want to be
part of the kingdom of God and have eternal life then we have to
submit ourselves to Jesus; firstly repent and be baptized be filled
with the Holy Spirit, live our lives according to His commands, in
righteousness and holiness, in total commitment to Him and then He
will reveal himself to us. He will give His Holy Spirit in us to
teach us and to guide us and He will guide us in His ways and in His
plan so that we can be fruitful in His kingdom, so that we can be
part of his kingdom.
Many have started with
Jesus but very few will complete the race. Very few will endure with
Him until the very, end because they didn't count the cost, or they
gave up, they got distracted. We have to be determined to walk in His
plan. We have to endure with Him, submit ourselves to Him and be used
by Him for His kingdom. If we do not remain in Christ, if we are not
led by the Holy Spirit, we cannot bear fruit for the kingdom of God.
We cannot follow our own mind, make our own plans how we will work
for God. He's not interested in that. Don't go to church and become
part of their plan, because their plan is not God's plan. That's
their plan. Then you serve the church, you serve other people. Don't
run after other disciples. They have their own walk with Jesus.
Follow Jesus. Listen to
Him. Be guided by His Spirit. Wait on Him. Don't allow others to
follow you. They have to follow Jesus. Jesus said to me:"Take a
man and put his hand in My hand and I will guide him." That is
what I'm here for, is to put your hand in the hand of Jesus so that
you can follow Him, that you can walk in His plan do His will, become
part of His kingdom, hear His voice, listen to Him, do His will. That
is what the kingdom of God is about, that is what Jesus calls us for.
We must not allow
ourselves to be distracted from God's plan. There will be many
opportunities, there will be many distractions, even from our closest
allies, followers of Jesus. We are reminded of Peter, when Jesus told
the disciples that He would suffer and be killed. Peter rebuked Him,
He said:"Lord may it never be!" What did Jesus say to him?
He said to him:"Get behind me satan, you area stumbling block to
Me." Those are harsh words but we have to be committed to stay
in God's plan and we can only do that if we follow Jesus, not if we
follow other sheep, or if we are led by the prophecies of other
people, or our own insight of the scriptures.
We have to hear from
Jesus. We have to be committed to hear from Him and not do anything
unless we are sure that He told us to do it. We have to trust Him,
wait on Him and not assume anything, not follow our own mind, because
He will not give us the plan. He just tells us to follow Him. He
says:"Follow Me, trust Me, stay with Me and I will guide you
every step of the way. " That is the only way to stay in God's
plan, is to stay with Jesus, not with other people, the other
believers. We have to stay with Jesus, be led by the Holy Spirit.
It's a lonely road but it's God's road. To follow Jesus is a lonely
road, but it's the only road. We come into this life on our own and
we leave this world on our own, and then we stand before Jesus and
then He will say to us:"Why did you not follow Me. You had no
business with Me. Why do you want to come here. I don't know you go
away from Me. I never knew you." We have to be committed to
Jesus Himself. Without Jesus we can do nothing.
This is not the gospel
that the church preaches. The church preaches a lie. The church tells
you to come to church, to become part of their plan, so that they can
use you for their own purpose. They distract you they take you, away
from Jesus. Do not look for the approval of men. If you look for the
approval of man you cannot be pleasing to Jesus. If you are still
concerned about what other people will say or think, even your
family, or other brothers in Christ, you cannot be a disciple of
Jesus Christ, you cannot be pleasing to Jesus because He will tell
you to do things that people disapprove of.They will think it's too
risky, it's impossible. Jesus does not guide us on the beaten path.
He guides us in His ways. He is the God of the impossible. Those who
are being led by the Spirit of God they are like the wind. Those who
are born of the Spirit of God and being led by the Spirit of God they
are like the wind, you dont know where they come from and where they
are going. They don't even know themselves, because they are led by
the Holy Spirit. They follow Jesus. They are not concerned about
tomorrow. They are concerned about Jesus, staying with Him so that
they can stay in His plan, do His will. That's the only way that we
can be pleasing to Jesus, because without faith it is impossible to
please God. Faith in God, faith in Jesus, faith in Him alone, hearing
from Him, listening to Him; trusting Him obeying Him, doing His will,
going where He sends you, doing what He tells you to do. That is how
you bear fruit, you walk with God. You stay in His plan. It's not
about just believing in Jesus, it is following obeying Him, trusting
Him giving up everything that He requires of you to give up, not what
you want to give up, but what He tells you to give up. Going where He
sends you, not where you want to go, not what you think, not because
you had a wonderful opportunity, or invitation. I've had invitations
that God told me:"You don't go there," because it was not
His plan. If we are trying to please people, even though they're our
brothers in Christ, and of Christians, then we cannot be pleasing to
God. We have to seek the approval of Jesus Christ, obey Him, know
Him, trust Him, go with Him, every step of the way, stay in His plan.
Are you willing to follow
Jesus? Are you willing to stay in His plan? It's not an easy road but
it is the only road, to be pleasing to Him. Jesus will guide you
every step of the way. He will teach you, He will supply in all your
needs. you will see the miraculous, you will see the hand of God
moving, if you stay with Him, if you stay in His plan but if you walk
in your own plans and follow after other people you will not enter
the kingdom of heaven. We have to stay in God's plan. Do you want to
follow Jesus? Do you want eternal life? Do you want His approval?
Then you have to stay with Him to stay in His plan.
May Jesus bless you.

Just Not Serious



Most Christian believers
are not serious about Jesus Christ and that is why they will end up
in hell. They do not really believe in Jesus. They do not really
believe that He is Lord. They do not believe that He is the One who
will determine whether they go into heaven or into hell and that is
why they disregard Him. They do not fear Him and they do not obey
Him. Some say they love Him, but if they did they would obey His
commands.
Jesus said:"If you
love Me, obey My commands." Most Christian believers couldn't
care about Jesus. They care about other things. They care about
themselves, their own life, their church, their status, everything
other but Jesus Christ. He is not on their list of priorities. They
do not really believe the words of Jesus. If they were serious about
Jesus and they did truly believe they would be very careful to obey
His words, because His words are the words of eternal life. Jesus
Christ came to give us the words of eternal life and they were
recorded in the Gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, the words of
Jesus, the words by which we will be judged. If we disobey Jesus we
will perish. Those who disobey Jesus are already judged. If we truly
believe that Jesus is the way and the truth and the life we will
follow Him, but most believers are not serious, they don't believe in
Jesus. They believe their own ideologies, their own theories. They
don't care for Jesus and that is why they will perish.
Jesus gave many stark
warnings. He said:"If you deny Me before men, I will deny you
before My heavenly Father and His holy angels." Jesus said if
you look at a woman to lust after her you have already committed
adultery in your heart and you're guilty before God. The words of
Jesus are very harsh words, they are very hard words and therefor
people rather want to talk around it, disregard it, discount it to
their own detriment. If we do not obey Jesus we will not enter His
kingdom. Jesus said that if we obey His words, if we repent, turn
away from all sin, turn to Him, if we seek Him with all our
heart, if we are baptized
in water as He commanded and we ask Him, then He will give us the
Holy Spirit, His Spirit to come and guide us, to be with us. He
promised that He will reveal Himself to us. He will speak to us.
People don't believe. That is why they do not obey Jesus. They don't
take Him seriously. That is why they don't hear His voice, they don't
know His voice and they will end up in hell. Jesus said and He will
say to many religious people:"Go away, I never knew you you
workers of wickedness," even though these people were preachers,
they cast out demons, performed many miracles in the name of Jesus.
He will say to them:"Go away, I never knew you." They were
not interested Jesus, they just used His Name for their own benefit.
They were not serious about following Him, they did not hear His
voice, they did not want to hear His voice.
Jesus will reveal Himself
to everyone who seeks Him but people are not serious. Jesus promised
that if we seek Him with all our heart, if we obey His words, He will
reveal Himself to us. Him and the Father will come and dwell with us.
But people don't believe, they're not serious, they're not
interested, they don't want Jesus to be with them. They I want to be
with other things. They occupy themselves with other things that
appeal more to them. Jesus is an offense to them. They don't take Him
seriously, that is why they will perish. Jesus Christ is the only
way, whether you like it or not. It's either His way, or no way.
Ether we love Him, obey Him, fear Him, do whatever He tells us to do
or when we stand before Him one day in judgment, He will say:"You
were not interested in Me. You had no business with me. I have no
place for you. Go away."
Do we believe? Are we
serious about Jesus? If we are, we will show it by our deeds, we will
not allow anything from stopping us to do what Jesus requires. Most
believers are not serious about Jesus Christ. Are we serious about
Jesus?
May Jesus bless you.

Go to the SOURCE





There is only one way to
be saved, to have salvation, to have eternal life, and that is to go
to the source of that salvation, and the Source of that salvation is
Jesus Christ alone. The person, Jesus Christ, there is no other.
There is no other way to have salvation but through Jesus Christ. We
read in Hebrews 5:8 "Although He was a Son, He learned
obedience from the things which He suffered, and having been made
perfect He became to all those who obey Him, the SOURCE of eternal
salvation. Jesus Christ alone is the way. There is no other way to
have salvation. There is no other path to follow. You cannot find
salvation through any other person, not by going to church, not by
reading your Bible. You have to go to Jesus and you have to obey Him,
because He is the source of eternal salvation for those who obey Him.
What did Jesus command?
Jesus said:"Follow Me." What we need to do is to, turn to
Jesus. Turn away from sin, turn away from our own ways, turn away
from all other ways, turn away from following after other people and
ideologies, and go to the Source, go to Jesus and obey Him. Repent,
turn away from those things, turn away from sin, ask Jesus
forgiveness, and He will grant us forgiveness. But then we have to
obey Him, be baptized in water, as He commanded, and He promised that
He will give His Spirit, the Holy Spirit, in us to teach us and to
guide us. Jesus Christ Himself, will come and dwell in us. He will be
with us. He will reveal Himself to us. He is the Source. There is no
other source, there is no other way to have eternal life. Have you
come to the Source, Jesus Christ, and are you staying with the Source
of eternal life of salvation? Or have you turned away from Jesus?
Only Jesus can help us. Only Jesus can give us the baptism in the
Holy Spirit. Only Jesus can give us Salvation, nothing and nobody
else. We have to go to Jesus. There is no person in this world, no
other mediator, no other person that we can speak to, that can save
us.
Go to Jesus. As Jesus said
to the Pharisees who were looking for salvation in the scriptures, He
said:"You diligently search the Scriptures in there to find
eternal life, but you refuse to come to Me to have life." Jesus
Christ the is the way and the life and the truth, He is the source.
If we want life, we must go to the Source and we must stay with the
Source until the very end of our lives. If we go away from Jesus we
will perish. There is only one way, go to the Source, Jesus Christ.
May Jesus bless you.

A Real WALK With Jesus



The only way to have
salvation eternal life is to follow Jesus Christ, to be in a real a
walk with Him. How does that come about? If we hear the gospel of
Jesus and we believe, we have to obey Him, repent, turn away from
sin, and accept Jesus into our life as our Lord and Master. We have
to pray, plead His forgiveness for our past sins, and commit to
follow and obey Him for the rest of our lives. If we do that, He
forgives our past sins and He writes His laws in our heart, His
commands, His requirements, so that we know what He requires of us,
how we should, live in holiness and in righteousness. And then we
have to further obey Him, be baptized in water for the washing off of
our sins.
Jesus promised to give His
Holy Spirit in us, to teach us and to guide us, every step of the
way. Those who are being led by the Spirit of God, they are the
children of God. If we do not have the Holy Spirit and we do not
follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit, we cannot walk with Jesus, we
cannot follow Him. We need to obey Him, repent and be baptized, so
that we will be born again of water and of the Spirit of God, but
then we need to be filled with the Holy Spirit. We need the power and
the guidance of the Holy Spirit, because without Jesus we can do
nothing.
The Holy Spirit is the
Spirit of Christ. He is the Comforter and we cannot follow Jesus and
do what is pleasing to Him, if we do not have the Holy Spirit, if we
do not follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Many believe in Jesus
and they think they have salvation but they do not have the Holy
Spirit, neither do they obey the guidance of the Holy Spirit. They
have no relationship with Jesus. Many are preachers and other
believers who go out in the streets and they witness, they preach and
heal the sick in the name of Jesus. They cast out demons, and Jesus
said that many of those will stand before Him and He will say to
them:"Go away I never knew you you workers of wickedness,"
because these people did not follow Jesus. They were not led by the
Holy Spirit, they had no relationship with Jesus. We need to be
filled with the Holy Spirit and follow the guidance of the Holy
Spirit, because the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Christ, and if we do
not have the Spirit of Christ, we do not belong to Him. We cannot
follow Him and we cannot be pleasing to Him.
Jesus promised the Holy
Spirit to each and every one who believes in Him and who obeys Him,
who repents and is baptized in water. The Holy Spirit will remind us
of the commands of Jesus, the words that He spoke, as they are also
recorded in the Gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. You don't need
a Bible to follow Jesus you need, the Holy Spirit, because the Holy
Spirit will be with us forever; but we have to obey Him. Many have
Bibles and they have read the words of Jesus in the Bible, but they
do not obey them. Those who have the Holy Spirit are constantly
reminded, convicted by the Holy Spirit. Te Holy Spirit prompts them
and speaks to them, reveals to them the will of God, reveals to them
whether they are pleasing to Jesus or not, The Holy Spirit guides us
into all truth, tells us about things to come, guides us in all
things.
We cannot follow Jesus
without the Holy Spirit. We need a real relationship with Jesus,
which only can be had, by the indwelling Holy Spirit and us following
the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Have you been born again? Did you
repent were you baptized in water and have you received the
indwelling Holy Spirit of Christ in you? Do you follow and obey Him?
Do you truly know Jesus or will Jesus also say to you go:"Go
away I never knew you, you worker of wickedness," because you
did not do the will of God, because you had no relationship with Him.
We need the Holy Spirit to teach and to guide us. The Spirit of
Christ will guide us into all truth. We cannot follow Jesus by
following after other sheep, other Christians, other followers of
Jesus. We cannot follow Jesus by reading the Bible. We need to be led
by the Holy Spirit to please Him, to get to know Him for real, to
follow Him and to enter His kingdom.
Have you received the Holy
Spirit? Do you follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit and is your
walk, your relationship with Jesus Christ real?
May Jesus bless you.

Jesus Requires OBEDIENCE



Jesus Christ requires
obedience from those who believe in Him. Many think that if I just
believe in Jesus they will have salvation. Others think that if they
go to church, belong to a church, give to charity then they have
salvation. Jesus said:"If you love Me, obey My commands"
and Jesus commanded that we repent, be baptized in water, and then He
promised His Holy Spirit to come and be with us, to guide, us to
teach us.
Those who disobey Jesus
will not have eternal life. Those who disobey Jesus are not suitable
for His kingdom. Jesus is Lord, we must serve Him and obey Him or
else we will not enter His kingdom. Those who disobey Jesus will
perish.
May. Jesus bless you.

Bible Believers do not Understand





This generation has
embraced knowledge because they believe that knowledge is power, but
they lack understanding. The Bible of believing Christians of this
generation have embraced knowledge of the scriptures but they have
rejected Jesus Christ, therefore they lack understanding. They do not
understand the kingdom of God and they cannot understand that Jesus
Christ is God. They wrestle with the scriptures, they keep on
studying and they keep on learning but they never come to the
knowledge of the truth, yet they are very quick to offer an
explanation or their interpretation of the scriptures. They are
deceived and lost, they do not understand, but Jesus Christ gives
understanding to those who accept Him.
Jesus Christ was also
rejected by the Pharisees who were the Bible believers of the time.
Jesus did not fit into their interpretation of the scriptures. They
did not understand that He was the Messiah that they were expecting,
because they did not accept Him. They rather clung to their
scriptures. They could not understand the kingdom of God. We read in
Matthew 11, they came to Jesus and asked Him about John the Baptist.
We read from verse 12: "Jesus said:From the days of John the
Baptist until now the Kingdom of Heaven suffers violence and violent
men take it by force for all the prophets and the Law prophesied
until John and if you are willing to accept it John himself is Elijah
who was to come. He who has ears to hear let him hear." and
Jesus goes on and He talks about that unbelieving generation, verse
16: "But to what shall I compare this generation it is like
children sitting in the marketplaces who call out to the other
children and say:"We played the flute for you and you did no
dance we sang a dirge and you do not mourn, for John came neither
eating nor drinking and they said:"He has a demon." The Son
of man came eating and drinking and they say:"behold a
gluttonous man and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and
sinners," yet wisdom is vindicated by her deeds.'
They did not accept Jesus
Christ because He did not fit into the picture that they had in their
mind from studying the scriptures. We read further verse 20"
"and then He began to denounce the cities and which most of his
miracles were done because they did not repent what do you Chorazin.
Woe to you Bethsaida, for if the miracles had occurred in Tyre and
Sidon, which occurred in you then they would have repented long ago
in sackcloth and ashes, nevertheless I say to you it will be more
tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the day of judgment than for you. And
you Capernaum will not be exalted to heaven, will you? You will
descend to Hades for if the miracles had occurred in Sodom which
occurred in you it would have remained to this day. Nevertheless I
say to you that it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in
the Day of Judgment than for you." They did not believe in
Jesus. They do not accept Him they saw the miracles that Jesus did
and yet they rejected Him. They do not believe in Him.
The very same with this
generation. They believe in the Scriptures and they look for
salvation in the scriptures, but they reject Jesus Christ and
therefore they cannot see nor understand the Kingdom of God. They
cannot understand that Jesus Christ is the King of the kingdom of God
and that we have to serve Him to be part of His kingdom. But these
things are hidden. The truth is hidden from those who are wise in
their own estimation, from the Bible believers, those who look for
salvation from their own intellect, them from those who think that
they have the power of knowledge. We read further Jesus said in verse
25: "at that time Jesus said:"I praise You Father Lord of
Heaven and Earth that You have hidden these things from the wise and
intelligent and have revealed them to infants. Yes Father, for this
way was well pleasing in Your sight. All things have been handed over
to Me by my Father and no one knows the Son except the Father, nor
does anyone know the Father except the Son, and anyone to whom the
Son wills to reveal Him." Bible believers do not understand the
kingdom of God. They do not understand that they have to know and
serve the King, Jesus Christ. They occupy themselves with the
scriptures. They are forever looking for new interpretations of the
scriptures, looking for new prophecies to decipher, instead of going
to Jesus and receiving wisdom from Him, because He gives to those who
believe in Him and who ask Him.
As the Apostle John also
wrote in 1st John 5:20. Listen carefully! "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." That is
who Jesus is, Jesus is God and He reveals Himself to those who
believe in Him, those who seek Him,those who ask Him. He gives wisdom
and understanding to those who come to Him like little children. And
those who seek wisdom in the scriptures and in the writings and
interpretations of other people, it remains closed to them. They do
not understand, and sadly they never get to know Jesus, and they will
end up in hell because just like those cities that rejected Jesus,
they reject Jesus Christ Himself. They do not know Him. They do not
have His Spirit, they do not have understanding, because they reject
the truth, they reject Jesus Christ.
Understanding does not
come from various studies and from knowledge gained from reading, it
comes from Jesus Christ. He gives understanding to children, to
babes, to the uneducated, to those who believe in Him, those who ask
Him. If you ask Jesus He will give you understanding. Many keep on
reading the Bible without understanding, they have various
interpretations and various theories. That is why there are so many
churches. That is why there are so many Bible students with different
ideas and theories, but they have no knowledge of God. They do not
have the Holy Spirit because the Holy Spirit is ONE, Jesus is ONE,
there is only one truth and Jesus will reveal that truth to you if
you seek Him and you believe Him. If you just ask Him He will give
you understanding.
May Jesus bless you.

Bible Believers are NOT Christians they are LOST



Bible believers are not
Christians. They are not disciples of Jesus Christ. They do not
follow Him. They occupy themselves with the scriptures, with the
Bible. They have no relationship with Jesus Christ, they have no fear
of God. They manipulate and apply the scriptures to their own insight
and their own liking. They have a fabricated for themselves an image
of God which they can manipulate as it pleases them. They do not know
Jesus Christ because they're not interested in knowing Him. To them
their Bible is their way to salvation and they are lost. They are
deceived. They cannot please God because without faith it is
impossible to please God.
Those who are being led by
the Spirit of God they are the sons of God. The Bible believers deny
Jesus Christ, they were the ones who crucified Him, because they had
no fear of Him, they did not recognize Him. Bible believers do not
know Jesus Christ. If they did they would fear Him, they would get
their guidance from Him and they would serve Him, they would obey Him
but they don't. They justify themselves from the scriptures. If we do
not have the Spirit of Christ, the Holy Spirit, then we do not belong
to Him. If we do not follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit we cannot
please Him. If we are not led by the Holy Spirit we are not children
of God. Bible believers are not children of God, they are deceived.
Have you met Jesus Christ
of the Bible? Do you know Him? Do you fear Him? Do you serve Him? Do
you get your guidance from Him or do you run to your Bible? Do you
look for scripture or do you look for Jesus? Is Jesus Christ your
life? Is He the center of your life or is your faith based on your
Bible? Because then you are lost. Get to know Jesus Christ. Seek Him
until you find Him. His sheep hear His voice, they listen to Him.
They follow Him. They do not listen to strangers, they are not led by
the scriptures. They are led by the Holy Spirit. They know Jesus and
He knows them. They know His voice. Do you know His voice? Do you
listen to Him? Do you fear Him? Do you follow and obey Him?
May Jesus bless you.

The Blessing of Suffering



God is good to all His
children. When we accept Jesus Christ and are born again we become
children of God, and God takes care of us. He teaches us His ways and
one of the ways in which He teaches us His ways is through His
discipline. He often uses suffering to teach us His ways.
The purpose of suffering
is to test us to see what is in our heart. Are we serious about
Jesus? Are we serious about obeying Him, following Him and living
according to His words. He also uses suffering to humble us and to
give us understanding. God used suffering to test Job, and when he
was in his distress his wife said to him:"Why don't you curse
God and die." Job never sinned against God and proved that he
was faithful and true to God. God used suffering to discipline the
children of Israel. We read in Deuteronomy 8:3 "He humbled you
and let you be hungry and fed you with manna which you did not know,
nor that your fathers know that He might make you understand that man
does not live by bread alone, but man lives by everything that
proceeds out of the mouth of God."
We often become arrogant
because we do not understand that it is the hand of God that supports
us, and that keeps us alive. It is good that we develop ourselves,
that we work hard, but when we become proud and arrogant and we think
that it is by our own power that we are gaining wealth and that
things are going well with us, then God often closes all the doors.
All our plans fall to pieces. In spite of our talent, our experience,
our education, things don't work out. We might lose our job, our
business might fall to pieces and then we realize that even with our
best effort we are not able to contain everything. We are not able to
live our lives the way that we wish, because without God we can do
nothing, without Jesus we can do nothing.
The medical profession has
its place and medicine has its place but when God puts a sickness on
you where medication cannot take the pain away, the doctor cannot
help, then you realize that there is a Power that is greater than all
of this, and this is what God does with His children. Many of them
are going through suffering and they do not understand why. They are
children of God, they are serious about God, but they are in
suffering. their lives are falling to pieces, but they do not
understand that they are being tested. Am I faithful to Jesus? Do I
really trust Him, or do I trust in myself more than Him? Is Jesus my
Healer or do I trust more in medication and in the doctor? Do I have
other idols? God is testing me. We become so proud, we think that we
can control our destiny, that we can make our lives, we can build our
own fortunes, and then God destroys our plans everything falls to
pieces. How do we react? Do we curse God? Do we go against God, or do
we see His hand in this? Do we humble ourselves before Him and
say:"Lord, Thy will be done."? Because all His ways are
loving kindness. He cares for us and He will never leave us. He will
never forsake us and therefore He often uses these severe methods,
severe suffering to bring us to our senses, to test us, to try us, to
humble us, to give us understanding, that life comes from Him.
All good things come from
Him. Without Jesus we can do nothing. How do we react to suffering?
How do we react to the test, to the discipline that He puts us
through? Do we become hateful and resentful toward God and show what
is in our heart that we are not serious about Him that we are selfish
and arrogant? Or do we humble ourselves and say:"Lord teach me
Thy ways." Do we become humble before Him and do we gain
understanding? It is the will of God that we learn understanding,
that we learn that man will not live from bread alone, that man will
not live from his own endeavors alone. If the Lord does not build the
house it is in vain that those build it work on it. If the Lord does
not guard the city in vain does the guardman watch because, God keeps
us safe. It is Jesus that determines our life and we need to learn to
understand that is the discipline that God is putting on us, the
suffering that He is putting us through, is it teaching us wisdom?
Are we being proven to truly love Him and trust Him? Are we allowing
ourselves to be humbled by Him and are we learning to trust in Him in
all situations so that we can know that without Him we can do
nothing, but nothing is impossible with Jesus Christ. He can do all
things. Let us submit ourselves to the Master let us listen to Him
when He speaks to us. Let us accept His discipline and learn from
Him. Let us gain understanding and allow Him to change us and to mold
us into His likeness so that we can fit into the kingdom of God. He
we started the good work in us will complete it if we stay with Him,
if we submit to Him and allow Him to form us and to make us so that
we can be to His glory.
May Jesus bless you.

Beware of the FALSE Gospel of Jesus Christ that is preached



The false a gospel of
Jesus Christ that is being preached in the world today will take
countless souls to hell. It is fruitless to believe in Jesus Christ
for salvation if we do not obey His words. The gospel of Jesus
Christ, the gospel that saves is the words that Jesus spoke, the
words that Jesus delivered when He walked this earth, as they are
also recorded in Matthew Mark Luke and John.
If we believe in Jesus for
salvation but we do not obey His words, then we are only fooling
ourselves, because Jesus said, if we love Him we will obey His
commands. Jesus said that not everyone that says to Him "Lord,
Lord" will enter into heaven, but those who do the will of His
Father. The words that Jesus spoke were the words of the Father,
those were the words of eternal life, and we can only have eternal
life if we live by those words, if we obey them. Those who disobey
Jesus Christ will perish even though they believed in Him.
If we truly believe in
Jesus we will do what He commanded. Jesus said:"Follow Me."
He commands us to repent, not only of sin but of living a senseless
life that centers around ourselves. We have to live for the kingdom
of God and obey the King, Jesus Christ Himself. We have to live
according to His words. He said:"repent and be baptized."
We need to turn away from sin, turn away from living for ourselves
and our own desires, and live in obedience to Jesus. We have to die
to sin, die to earthly desires, in order to live for the kingdom of
God. Go and read the words of Jesus in the gospel for yourself and
you will learn that He requires absolute obedience, absolute
dedication. He said if we wish to come after Him, if we wish to have
eternal life, we have to deny ourselves pick up our cross every day
and follow Him. We have to obey His words.
Many people ask: Now what
is this cross of Jesus that we have got to pick up? If we obey Jesus
and live according to His words then we will suffer much persecution,
we will have to give up many things in life, we will have to forsake
the pleasures of this world and we will have to live our lives in
such a way that we obey the words of Jesus. If we go after Jesus,
obey His words, repent and be baptized, and live a life that is
pleasing to Him, then we will be changed into His likeness. We will
become
like Him, but if we want
to be like the world, like the newest trends, and go after the things
of the world, we will be distracted and we will not follow nor obey
Jesus, we will end up in hell.
Many people have been
deceived by the false gospel that is preached in this world, a gospel
of tolerance, a gospel that we cannot stop sinning. We have to make
up our minds if we want eternal life. We have to go after Jesus with
all our power. It will not be easy. If we live according to the words
of Jesus, we will suffer persecution, we will suffer rejection, we
will have to deprive ourselves of earthly pleasures. We cannot go
after the pleasures of the world and expect to be part of the kingdom
of God. The sinful pleasures of this world lead to death and we have
to stay away from those. We have to reserve ourselves for Jesus and
live for Him. Jesus promised that if we obey His words, if we live
according to His words then He will reveal Himself to us. He will
come and dwell in us. He will give His Spirit in us. He will speak to
us. He will guide us, He will teach us. If we do not have the Spirit
of Christ in us, Jesus with us, and us with Him, then we do not
belong to Him and our faith is in vain.
We can only be pleasing to
Jesus if we obey Him, and we need to have His Spirit guiding us,
teaching us. We need to obey His Spirit. He will tell us how to live,
where to live, what to do, but we have to ask. We have to go after
Him, but first we have to obey the gospel of Jesus Christ; we have to
commit to live according to His ways, to submit ourselves to Him,
repent and be baptized, turn away from sin and earthly desires, and
desire earnestly to go after Jesus. Then He will reveal Himself to
you, but if we turn away from Jesus, if we allow ourselves to get
distracted, then we will go away from Jesus and we will not enter His
kingdom.
Only those who endure with
Jesus until the very end, stay with Him, only they will enter into
the kingdom of heaven. The way of the cross, the way of following
Jesus, is not easy, it is difficult. Very few will follow that way.
It is a way of persecution, rejection of pain and suffering. It is a
way of deprivation. It is not an easy way, but it is the only way to
enter into the kingdom of God, and we have to stay with Jesus, to
stay on that way because without Jesus we can do nothing. As long as
we follow Jesus we will endure suffering, rejection, pain, we will
change to be like Him, more and more, until the very end. If we do
not stay with Him we will become conformed to this world and we will
end up in damnation.
Are we walking on the
narrow road? Are we focused on Jesus? Do we know Him for real? Are we
really serious about the kingdom of God, or have we become a victim
of the false gospel that is preached in this world? Because that
gospel is a gospel without Jesus Christ. It talks about believing in
Jesus but it does not obey Jesus. It is a waste, it is a lie, and it
will lead countless people to hell. Are we following Jesus on the
narrow way every day, or have we been deceived and are we going our
own way? Have we strayed like sheep? We have to stay with the Good
Shepherd. Stay with Jesus until the very end to have eternal life. Go
and read the words of Jesus in the Gospels. Pray and ask Jesus to
make those words to come alive to you, to engrave them in your mind,
in your heart, and ask Him, Holy Spirit, to remind you of those words
all the time, and obey Him. Obey that prompting of the Holy Spirit
when he warns you and convicts you, and calls you back onto the
straight and narrow road. If we do not stay with Jesus on that road
until the very end then we will not enter the kingdom of heaven.
Most believers will be
disappointed, disillusioned, but it will be forever too late when
they find out that they were deceived and they will not enter the
kingdom of heaven. Be serious with Jesus. Seek Him with all your
heart. Obey His words, and He will reveal Himself to you. You will
know Him for real and you will walk with Him. He will talk with you.
If you obey Him and stay with Him, He will lead you and guide you
until the very end. He will give you eternal life. Jesus Christ is
the only way. Follow him until the very end.
May Jesus bless you.

Listen and Learn



Jesus Christ calls us not
only to believe in Him but to listen to Him and to follow Him. If we
obey the gospel of Jesus Christ, His words that He spoke; if we
repent and are baptized in water and we seek Jesus with all our
heart, He will give His Holy Spirit in us to teach us and to guide
us. He is our Teacher, He is our guide, He is our constant companion.

Jesus calls us to listen
to Him and to learn from Him. Most believers never get to know Jesus
Christ. They do not know His voice, they do not follow Him. His sheep
hear His voice they listen to Him and they follow Him. They are
taught by Him. Jesus calls us to listen to Him to hear from Him so
that we can get to know Him.
Most believers never get
to know Jesus, they never get to know His ways and they will be very
disappointed and they stand before Him in judgment and He says:"Go
away I never knew you." Jesus is calling us to come close to
Him, for His Spirit to dwell in us, so that we can be in fellowship
with Him. Have you obeyed the gospel of Jesus Christ? Have you
repented and been baptized, and have you received the indwelling Holy
Spirit? Do you listen to the Holy Spirit and are you're being taught
by God? It is His will that we learn from Him, not from others. His
sheep do not listen to strangers, they listen to Him. Are you
listening to the good Shepherd? Do you follow and obey Him and do you
learn from Him?
May Jesus bless you.

Never give up





We must never give up on
going after Jesus and doing what is pleasing to Him. This world is
full of quitters and losers and hell will be full of losers. There
will be many people in hell that once followed Jesus Christ but they
got distracted, they gave up. Eternal life is for those who endure
with Jesus until the very end.
We will have many
distractions and stumbling blocks. We will have a much difficulty in
this life. If we want to succeed we have to stay focused on Jesus and
keep going. If we stumble we need to repent, get up get back to
Jesus, get back to doing what is pleasing to Him. What matters is not
how you started but how you finish. Those who wish to enter the
kingdom of heaven will have much tribulation. They will be tempted
and tried but it is only those who stay with Jesus until the very
end. It is a lonely road, it is a difficult road. It is a road that
you can only complete if you go with Jesus Christ. They are not many
people on that road, so do not look to other people but stay focused
on Jesus. If you stumble today, then repent, get on your knees, ask
Jesus forgiveness and get back to following Him. We need to follow
Jesus one day at a time. Do not worry about tomorrow. Tomorrow will
have enough of its own trouble and tomorrow will take care of itself,
if we just stay with Jesus. Remember, practice makes perfect, but
there are no prizes for losers or quitters.
We need to stay focused on
Jesus, never give up. If you pray and things do not work out as you
expected, just trust in Jesus. Keep on trusting because He is
faithful. We need to learn to trust in Jesus, even though things look
impossible, because He is the God of the impossible. It is impossible
to find the entrance into heaven by ourselves, but if we follow Jesus
and stay with Him, He will guide us every step of the way. If we
quit, then we have given up. Jesus said:" He who puts his hand
to the plow and looks back is not worthy of Me. We need to keep on
going, never give up follow Jesus, endure with Him until the very
end, because Jesus said those who endure until the end they will be
saved. Don't give up. Follow Jesus today and every day until the very
end, one day at a time.
May Jesus bless you.

Don't Celebrate You are NOT saved YET



Many Christian believers
have been led to believe that they are already saved and that they
have a guarantee of salvation. Therefor these people have become
arrogant and they look down on other people, on unbelievers. They
themselves boast that they are saved even though they do not live
different lives from other people. The truth is that nobody is saved
yet.
Those who have accepted
Jesus and who believe in Him, those who obey His words and have been
baptized in water, have received the Holy Spirit, and who are led by
the Holy Spirit, who follow Jesus Christ, they are being saved. They
are not saved yet. They have to follow Jesus Christ until the very
end to be saved. Nobody is finally saved until they endure with Jesus
Christ until the end.
I read from Luke 13: 23
"And someone said to Him: Lord are there just a few who are
being saved? And He said to them: Strive to enter through the narrow
door, for many I tell you will seek to enter and will not be able."
This is a warning that Jesus gave. Nobody is saved yet. The door is
narrow and very few will find it. Jesus is faithful. He will not
leave us, but we need to stay with Him and follow and obey Him until
the very end. We need to be led by the Holy Spirit and bear good
fruit, we need to serve Jesus and do what He requires of us.
The writer of Hebrews also
wrote this warning in Hebrews 3. Listen carefully: Hebrews 3:1
1 Therefore,
holy brethren, partakers of a heavenly calling, consider Jesus, the
Apostle and High Priest of our confession; 2He was faithful to Him
who appointed Him, as Moses also was in all His house. 3For He has
been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, by just so much as the
builder of the house has more honor than the house. 4For every house
is built by someone, but the builder of all things is God. 5Now Moses
was faithful in all His house as a servant, for a testimony of those
things which were to be spoken later; 6but Christ was faithful as a
Son over His house—whose house we are, if we hold fast our
confidence and the boast of our hope firm until the end.
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.”

The children of Israel
that followed Moses out of the bondage in Egypt went through the Red
Sea and into the wilderness. They sinned against God, they disobeyed
Him as we read here in verse 18: "And to whom did He swear that
they would not enter His rest, but to those who were disobedient? So
we see that they were not able to enter because of unbelief." If
we believe in Jesus we must obey Him. We must follow Him until the
very end. We are His house, we are His people, if we hold fast onto
Him until the very end, if we endure with Him until the very end.
Many believe in Jesus.
Many confess Jesus, many believe that they are saved, but very few of
them ever start following Jesus. Very few of them obey Jesus? Most
believers are like the children of Israel, they did not want to
listen to God. They said to Moses:"You go up the mountain and
speak to God and tell us what God says." Believers don't want to
listen to Jesus, they don't want to be led by the Holy Spirit. They
want to go to church and they say to the preacher: "You got
listen what God says, you can tell us and then we do it. They never
do it. Many preachers do not even listen to God, but the people go
astray because they do not follow Jesus.
Nobody is saved yet, dear
friends. We have to follow and obey Jesus, we have to be led by the
Holy Spirit. We read in Romans chapter 8:14 the Apostle Paul
writes:"Those who are being led by the Spirit of God, they are
the children of God, they are the sons of God." If we are not
led by the Holy Spirit, and if we do not have the Holy Spirit, then
we do not belong to Jesus and we are not His. Many have received the
Holy Spirit, they speak tongues. Some of them heal the sick, they
cast out demons, and they will stand before Jesus and He will say to
them:"Go away I never knew you." They might have received
His gift but they never followed Him. They never stayed with Him
until the very end. Many people wrongly believe that if they have
received the baptism in the Holy Spirit and they speak in tongues
that they have a guarantee of salvation. That is not true. Jesus
promised the Holy Spirit to all those who believe in Him but he
promises eternal life to those you stay with Him until the very end.
Many born-again, Holy
Spirit filled believers will end up in hell because they did not
endure with Jesus until the end. Many believers think that they are
saved. They boast in their salvation but they do not follow nor obey
Jesus. Many of them live in sin. They are conformed to the world.
They do not obey the words of Jesus. They are not led by the Holy
Spirit, still they believe then they are saved, but they have no
relationship with Jesus. That is the desperate situation that most
believers are in and they do not even realize it.
We need to go after Jesus,
look after our relationship with Him and make sure He that He is
pleased with us. We need to hear from Him, His sheep hear His voice,
they listen to Him and they follow Him. Very few believers know the
voice of Jesus. They just listen to the preachers, and they follow
their own mind. They read the Bible and they take whatever scriptures
they like and apply it to their liking, but they have no relationship
with Jesus. They think that they are saved, they believe that when
they die they will have a place in heaven. They won't. Jesus will say
to them:"Go away I never knew you." Dear friends, if our
relationship with Jesus is not real and alive, if we do not follow
Him every day, if we do not hear from Him ,if we're not led by the
Holy Spirit then we have no hope of salvation, and we have turned
away from Jesus, we are lost. We have to follow Jesus until the very
end. Those who have started the journey with Jesus and who stay with
Him, they are being saved; but many of those that think that they
are saved are not on that road. They are on the broad road to
destruction and yet they believe that they have salvation. They go to
church, they sit in church and they say Amen and Hallelujah and they
praise the Lord, and they are so boastful, they are so happy. They
refer to the outsiders as lost, but they themselves are lost because
they are not following Jesus Christ. They are deceived. That is the
situation with most of the church today. They are lost and deceived
and they are not following Jesus Christ. They have an illusion of
salvation but they do not know the Savior, they do not know Jesus.
They do not follow Him. They don't want to follow Him because they
think they have a ticket to heaven, they have a guarantee of
salvation.
Dear friend, how's your
relationship with Jesus? Do you know Him? Do you follow Him? Do you
hear from Him? Are your being saved or are you just deceived and on
your way to hell? Make sure today. Go on your knees and speak to
Jesus. Get serious before it is too late, because once you die, it is
forever too late. Today is the day of salvation. Speak to Jesus
today, and hear from Him, every day. Ask Him: "Lord am I still
in your way? Lord please guide, me please teach me." It is not
about your church attendance or your Bible knowledge or your faith,
it is about your obedience to Jesus, your relationship with Him. If
you have none, you don't know Him and He will turn you away. Make
sure today that you are right with Jesus and stay right with Him
until the very end. Nobody else can do it for you. You and I need to
look after our own salvation and stay with Jesus until the very end.
May Jesus bless you.

Be Separate



The children of God are a
holy nation, a royal priesthood a special people. They are not like
the rest of the world. Jesus calls us to be separate unto Him, the
called out ones. We must not be like the rest of the world. we must
separate ourselves unto Jesus. We ought to be salt, and light in
darkness. We must proclaim Jesus Christ in this world. We are not of
this world.
If we are of Christ we are
not of this world. We must take upon us the yoke of Jesus and learn
from Him. We must live for Him, listen to Him, follow Him. and do
what is pleasing to Him. We must not strive to be like the world but
we must be changed by the renewal of our mind. We must have the mind
of Christ and speak the words of Christ. In everything we have to
represent Jesus. We must be like Him. If we are of this world we
cannot be of the kingdom of God. If we fit into this world we fit out
of the kingdom of God. Are we separate? Have we separated ourselves
unto Jesus and are we living for Him, or are we still trying to fit
into this world and be acceptable to this world? Whoever wants to be
a friend of this world makes himself an enemy of God. If we separate
ourselves unto Jesus He will accept us He will use us for His
kingdom, but if we try to be like this world then we are not worthy
of Jesus and we will not fit into His kingdom. Are we separated unto
Jesus? Are we living our lives to please Him or are we still seeking
for the acceptance of men and to fit into this world that is doomed?
May Jesus bless you.

Finding God



The world disputes and
denies the existence of God because it is looking for a physical
appearance of a god. God is spirit and therefore we cannot see Him.
No eye has seen Him, neither ear has heard Him, neither physical
senses have sensed Him, because a God is beyond our physical senses.
God revealed Himself in
Jesus Christ, who came as a man. The world did not recognize Him. The
religious people rejected Him, they crucified Him because they did
not accept the revelation that God gave of Himself. They were looking
for something that they themselves did not know. Jesus Christ was
resurrected and He ascended to heaven and once more He reveals
Himself to those who obey His words, His gospel. Jesus said:"The
one who loves Me is the one who has my commands and who keeps them."
If we obey the gospel of Jesus Christ, repent and be baptized and
live according to His commands, then Him and the Father will come and
live with us and He will reveal Himself to us.
The reason why the world
does not know God is because they reject God, they reject Jesus
Christ. They are looking for their own God, their own image of a God.
If we seek the truth we will find it. Jesus Christ is the way and the
truth and the life and He reveals Himself to those who seek the
truth. Those who are pure in heart will see God. If we seek Him we
will find Him. If we draw closer to Jesus then He will draw closer to
us, He will reveal Himself to us and we will know Him for real.
Therefor the world and most believers do not know, Jesus they are
looking for an image of their own liking, but they reject the
revelation of God.
Have you met the living
Jesus? Do you believe and do you obey Him? Has He revealed Himself to
you? Do you know His voice? Do you observe Him in your spirit, and
do you serve Him? Have you found the Living God, Jesus Christ?
May Jesus bless you.
