Turn back to Jesus

There are many believers who once were serious about following Jesus, but they strayed from Him, went their own way, fell into sin, and now they wonder whether it is too late for them to return to Jesus.

I was one of those believers. I followed Jesus when I was very young, but then for many years I went away from Jesus, and like the prodigal son I longed to go back to Him but I did not know whether He would take me back.  When you are in that situation many things try to prevent you from going back to Jesus. The devil will also quote you Bible verses. He will tell you that you have committed the unpardonable sin. He will quote you Hebrews 6:4-8"For in the case of those who have once been enlightened and have tasted of the heavenly gift and have been made partakers of the Holy Spirit, 5and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come, 6and then have fallen away, it is impossible to renew them again to repentance, since they again crucify to themselves the Son of God and put Him to open shame. 7For ground that drinks the rain which often falls on it and brings forth vegetation useful to those for whose sake it is also tilled, receives a blessing from God; 8but if it yields thorns and thistles, it is worthless and close to being cursed, and it ends up being burned." Just like he tried to tempt Jesus with Bible verse satan will also try to tempt and deceive you, but satan is a liar.

When I was at my lowest point, one night I bowed down and said to Jesus:"Lord, If you want me back, I would love to come back to You." Jesus received me back with open arms and I have not looked back. I had learned my lesson. that was more than 30 years ago. I have been following Jesus closely since then and I want to stay with Him until the end.

The road has not been easy. It has become narrower and steeper.

I have learned one thing and that is not to trust in people, not to look to people but to trust in Jesus alone and to follow Him. When I was young I looked to people, Christians, other followers of Jesus. They disappointed me and I went away from Jesus. Now I just follow Jesus and do what He tells me to do.

If you once knew Jesus and followed Him, run back. Do not let anything stop you and do not let anything take you away from Him again. Jesuswill never reject you or show you away. If you stumble, repent, get up and get back to Jesus. Stay with Him until the end. It is not how you start that matters, it is how you end.  Salvation is a journey. We have to stay with Jesus until the end. Never give up, never stray from Him again. Without Jesus we can do nothing. All that matters is our relationship with Jesus. Do not let anything stop you or prevent you from going back to Jesus. Run back to Jesus.

May Jesus bless you.

Empowered by Jesus Christ

Those who have accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Master can together with the apostle Paul say:"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."Philippians 4:13.

Without Jesus we can do nothing, but Jesus empowers us to do everything that He requires of us.

Those who have submitted themselves to Jesus and who trust in Him, have no confidence in themselves or their own abilities, but they overcome sin, temptation, anxiety, fear, rejection. Yes they overwhelmingly conquer and triumph through His power that flows through them.

There is an old song that goes like this:

"There's a river of life flowing down through me.

It makes the lame to walk and the blind to see.

It opens prison doors, sets the captives free.

There's a river of life flowing down through me."

"There's a river of life flowing down through me.

It makes the lame to walk and the blind to see.

It opens prison doors, sets the captives free.

There's a river of life flowing down through me."

Is that river of life flowing through you and me? Are empowered by Jesus Christ? Can we do all things through Him who strengthens us?

May Jesus bless you.

Salvation Security is NOT Guaranteed

Many Christian believers have a false security of salvation. They claim security of salvation based on single verses from the Bible. They have been taught that they only need to believe in Jesus for salvation. We read in Romans 10:9 "if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; 10for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation. 11For the Scripture says, “WHOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED.”  That is true, but if we believe in Jesus we must obey Him and live according to His teachings and commandments.

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

We have to obey Jesus and bear good fruit, or else we will not enter heaven. Many are preachers and profess to be followers of Jesus but they are not. We will be known by our fruit. Jesus said:"15“Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves. 16“You will know them by their fruits. Grapes are not gathered from thorn bushes nor figs from thistles, are they? 17“So every good tree bears good fruit, but the bad tree bears bad fruit. 18“A good tree cannot produce bad fruit, nor can a bad tree produce good fruit. 19“Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20“So then, you will know them by their fruits." Matthew 7:15-20.

Many professing believers wil end up in hell because their deeds are evil.

The apostle Paul also warned sinning believers in Romans 2:4 "Or do you think lightly of the riches of His kindness and tolerance and patience, not knowing that the kindness of God leads you to repentance? 5But because of your stubbornness and unrepentant heart you are storing up wrath for yourself in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God, 6who WILL RENDER TO EACH PERSON ACCORDING TO HIS DEEDS: 7to those who by perseverance in doing good seek for glory and honor and immortality, eternal life; 8but to those who are selfishly ambitious and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, wrath and indignation. 9There will be tribulation and distress for every soul of man who does evil, of the Jew first and also of the Greek, 10but glory and honor and peace to everyone who does good, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. 11For there is no partiality with God."

Without holiness, no man shall see God. Those who disobey Jesus Christ and do not live according to His teachings, will perish.

The words of Jesus are clear and simple, as recorded in the gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke ann John. Jesus said to His disciples:" “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. 16“He who has believed and has been baptized shall be saved; but he who has disbelieved shall be condemned."Mark 16:15,16.

Obey Jesus, repent and be baptized, live according to the words of Jesus, seek Him always and He will guide you. Stay with Jesus until the end, or you will not enter heaven, you will end up in hell. Jesus will never leave or reject you, nothing can pluck you our of His hand, but if you stray from Jesus, then you have left Him and you will not be worthy of entering His kingdom. Jesus warned that only those who endure with Him until the end, will be saved.

Work our your own salvation with fear and trembling. Seek Jesus, obey and follow Him until the end, and you will be saved.



May Jesus bless you.

Do not be deceived

Most professing Christians are deceived. They believe false teachings of men. They believe they are saved and assured of going to heaven when they die, but they do not know nor obey the truth. Most seriously, they do not know Jesus Christ, the Living God and final judge of all men.

All men will be judged by the words of Jesus, not just some of His words, but ALL His teachings and commands. Most professing Christians do not live according to the words of Jesus. The teachings and commandments of Jesus were recorded in the gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.

We read in John 12:47, Jesus said: "47As for anyone who hears My words and does not keep them, I do not judge him. For I have not come to judge the world, but to save the world. 48There is a judge for the one who rejects Me and does not receive My words: The word that I have spoken will judge him on the last day."

Jesus commanded His disciples:19“Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, 20teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; Matthew 28:19,20

Do you obey Jesus and live according to His words? Have you repented, stopped sinning, been baptized in water, as He commanded, or have you been deceived by the teachings of men? Jesus gave no guarantee of salvation to those who believe in Him. He said:"Strive to enter through the narrow door; for many, I tell you, will seek to enter and will not be able."Luke 13:23. He also said:"The one who endures to the end, he will be saved."Matthew 24:13.

Are you still a sinner, or are you following Jesus in obedience to His words? Jesus said:", “Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who commits sin is the slave of sin. 35“The slave does not remain in the house forever; the son does remain forever. 36“So if the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed."John 8:34-36. Are you a slave to sin, or has Jesus made you free?

Are you bearing good fruit? Jesus said:"A tree is known by it's fruit" and "19Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire."Matthew 7:19. Are you bearing good fruit or are you in danger of being cut down and burned?

Do not be deceived by the lies of the devil and the doctrines of men. Read the words of Jesus as recorded in the gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, for yourself, and make sure that you obey Jesus, or else you will not enter His kingdom, you will end up in hell.

Your salvation is your responsibility. do not take it lightly. Very few believers are being saved::"Strive to enter through the narrow door; for many, will seek to enter and will not be able."



May Jesus bless you.

One Lord

Most Christians are just religious but they do not know the Lord. They do not recognize who Jesus is, He is God. They have been deceived by various doctrines of demons and teachings of men.

Even some of the disciples did not recognize Jesus as God.

We read in John 14:6 “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.

7“If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; from now on you know Him, and have seen Him.”



      8Philip said to Him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us.” 9Jesus said to him, “Have I been so long with you, and yet you have not come to know Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? 10“Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father is in Me? The words that I say to you I do not speak on My own initiative, but the Father abiding in Me does His works. 11“Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father is in Me; otherwise believe because of the works themselves. 12“Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do, he will do also; and greater works than these he will do; because I go to the Father. 13“Whatever you ask in My name, that will I do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14“If you ask Me anything in My name, I will do it."

      15“If you love Me, you will keep My commandments.

      16“I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may be with you forever; 17that is the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it does not see Him or know Him, but you know Him because He abides with you and will be in you."

      18“I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. 19“After a little while the world will no longer see Me, but you will see Me; because I live, you will live also. 20“In that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you. 21“He who has My commandments and keeps them is the one who loves Me; and he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and will disclose Myself to him.” 22Judas (not Iscariot) said to Him, “Lord, what then has happened that You are going to disclose Yourself to us and not to the world?” 23Jesus answered and said to him, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our abode with him. 24“He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and the word which you hear is not Mine, but the Father’s who sent Me."

Most believers do not know Jesus, they do not know His voice. They do not see Him because they do not keep His commandments and therefor He has not disclosed Himself to them.

How will Jesus disclose Himself to them? By His Spirit, the Holy Spirit, that the world, the unbeliever, and those who disobey Jesus, cannot receive.

We read further in John 14:25.

      25“These things I have spoken to you while abiding with you. 26“But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you.

The apostle Paul wrote in Ephesians 4:4,5.

" 4There is one body and one Spirit, just as also you were called in one hope of your calling; 5one Lord, one faith, one baptism, 6one God and Father of all who is over all and through all and in all.



There is only one Lord, His Name is Jesus Christ.

The apostle John wrote in 1 John 2:23 "Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father; the one who confesses the Son has the Father also."



There is one Spirit, the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Christ.



God is ONE, He is Lord, He is the Father, He is the Son, He is the Spirit.



Most Christians believe in a God that is far away, somewhere in heaven, but Jesus is Emmanuel, "God with us." They do not know Him and that is why they do not know His Name is Jesus, they do not recognize Him as Lord. They do not experience Him and they do not follow Him because they do not obey Him. He reveals Himself to those who obey His commandments and they know Him for real.



Embrace Jesus, obey His commands, His teachings. Repent and be baptized. Seek Him with all your heart and He will come and dwell with you, in you and you will know Him  for real. Jesus is Lord.

" At the name of Jesus EVERY KNEE WILL BOW, of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11and that every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father." Philippians 2:10,11.



Do you know The Lord, Jesus Christ?

May Jesus bless you.

You cannot force God to answer you

The difference between a believer and a

true follower of Jesus Christ is that the disciple, the true follower
of Jesus, is led by the Holy Spirit. The true follower of Jesus knows
the Master's voice. Jesus said:"My sheep hear My voice, they
listen to Me and they follow Me."

If we truly believe in Jesus then we
will obey Him, obey His commands, do what He told us to do; repent,
turn away from sin and from going after her own thoughts, our own
desires. and go after Jesus. We will stop sinning, and live holy.
Jesus said:"If you love Me, obey My words." He also said
that the one who loves Him is the one who obeys His commands, and Him
and the Father, will come and dwell with that person, with him, and
He will reveal Himself to that person. He will give His spirit, the
Holy Spirit in that person, so that they will know Jesus for real.
They will be able to hear His voice, listen to Him and follow Him.

If we truly seek Jesus, He will reveal
Himself to us. He is Lord, and He speaks, and He guides all those who
seek Him, all those who seek life. If we need wisdom we have to pray
and ask Jesus, and He will

guide us. He will give us wisdom, He
will give us guidance, but many believers make the mistake of
becoming familiar with Jesus. They think that I can sit down and have
a conversation with Jesus. They think that He has to answer them
every time that they ask something. They want to force Him to answer.
They only want to consult Him about their life, about those things
that are important to them. We cannot force God to answer us. We
cannot force Jesus to give us an answer on a specific thing. We have
to follow Him. He will guide us. We have to ask Him for wisdom, but
we must realize that the things that are often important to us, are
not important to Jesus. What is important to Jesus, is the kingdom of
God, His kingdom, and Jesus will not always answer our questions in a
way that we think, or ask, or demand. We must remember that the
kingdom of God is about Jesus, about His kingdom, about serving Him.

Many people want to force God to answer
them, true believers, but they do not understand that we have to wait
on the Lord. We have to seek His kingdom, His will, His guidance, all
those things that are important to Him, because if we follow Jesus,
we are living for Him and His kingdom. The things that we are often
worried about are not important. The knowledge that we think that we
need is often not important. What is important is that we follow
Jesus and that we be taught by Him, what He wants to teach us.

We are free to ask anything from Him.
We can ask Him understanding about anything, but He will answer in
the time and in the way that He pleases, and often He will not answer
us because the things that we are concerned about are trivialities.
The things that many Christians are worried about have nothing to do
with the kingdom of God. Many of them want to understand the Bible.
They want to understand prophecy and they want to know about the
future. They want to know about what they must do for their benefit,
and they expect Jesus to always answer them. Many believers try to
force Jesus to answer them, they think that they can pray and ask
Jesus to them an answer from the Bible, as though the Bible is a
magic book; and then they open the Bible at random places and they
find a scripture, which they regard as guidance. We can receive a
scripture as guidance, but once we start forcing Jesus or trying to
force Him to answer us, we are on a dangerous road, because we cannot
force God.

We cannot force Jesus to answer us. We
have to seek Him, seek His will, seek His guidance, and He will speak
to you; in His time and in His own way. He might speak to you in a
voice that permeates your whole being, not just your ear, or He might
give you understanding. Suddenly you understand what you did not
understand, because He puts understanding in you, but we have to wait
for His guidance and His answer. We have to seek His will. We have to
seek His kingdom. We must pray about those things that we are
concerned about, those things that we do not understand, but we must
wait on the Lord and let Him guide us and teach us in His time; and
when He speaks to us, when He reveals the truth to us or gives us
understanding, then we will know when it is from Him.

If you ask Jesus, He will answer you
but you have to trust Him. You have to wait for His answer, in His
time, in His own way. You cannot force Him. We have to humbly follow
Jesus, and seek His kingdom, His righteousness. If we trust Him and
stay with Him, with time He will reveal His ways to us, and we will
gain understanding, but those who try to force the hand of God, those
who try to force an answer from the Lord. will become confused.

Never lean on your own understanding.
Don't look to other people for guidance. Look to Jesus. Ask Him.
Wait on Him, and expect Him. Trust Him. He will answer you. He will
guide you. He has spoken to me many times, in a night vision, in a
dream, or just spoken through my whole being, with a loud voice that
was not in my ear but was in my spirit, and I knew that it came from
God. Often He did not answer my question, but He engineered my
circumstances. He made things happen in His way, and when they
happened, I saw it was the hand of God.

We have to walk by faith, not by our
own insight or understanding. We have to submit ourselves to the Lord
and humbly trust Him, wait on Him and undividedly believe in Him.
Then He will guide us, He will teach us. He will guide our footsteps
and He will keep us from stumbling, but we have to stay with Him. We
have to be serious about following Jesus Christ, seek His will,
submit to Him, trust Him, wait on Him, and He will guide and teach
you. He is our teacher. He is our Lord and Master. All we need is
Jesus, but we have to trust Him and stay with Him. Without Jesus we
can do nothing. Submit to Him, seek Him with all your heart and He
will reveal Himself to you. You will get to know Him for real.

May Jesus bless you.

You cannot afford to stumble

The false Grace gospel that is being

preached in churches has led to a situation where Christians believe
that it is acceptable to sin. Many of them say that they are all
sinners. They think that it is acceptable to keep on stumbling, to
keep on going back to the same sin. Jesus made it very clear that it
is not acceptable for any of His followers to stumble.

We read in Matthew 5:27 Jesus said:"You
have heard that it was said, you shall not commit adultery, but I say
to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lust for her has
already committed adultery with her in his heart. If your right eye
makes you stumble, tear it out and throw it from you, for it is
better for you to lose one of the parts of your body than for your
whole body to be thrown into hell. If your right hand makes you
stumble, cut it off, and throw it from you, for it is better for you
to lose one of the parts of your body, than for your whole body to go
into hell." If you keep on stumbling, you will end up in hell.

Jesus does not call us to stumble He
calls us to repent and stop sinning, and live in holiness or else we
will end up in hell. The writer of Hebrews writes in Hebrews 10:26
"For if we go on sinning willfully after receiving the knowledge
of the truth there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, but a
terrifying expectation of judgment, and the fury of a fire which
will consume the adversaries. Anyone who has set aside the law of
Moses, dies without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses.
How much severer punishment do you think He will deserve who has
trampled underfoot the Son of God, and has regarded as unclean the
blood of the Covenant by which he was sanctified, and has insulted
the Spirit of Grace. For we know Him who said:"Vengeance is
mine, I will repay," and again, the Lord will judge His people.
It is a terrifying thing to fall into the hands of the Living God."
He is talking here about believers. It is not acceptable to go back
to sin. If you go back to son there is no more grace. It is not
acceptable to go back to sin. The wrath of God will come on you and
if you do not repent, you will perish.

Many believe that God will only punish
them, but they will still be saved. That is a lie. If you bear bad
fruit you will get cut off and burned. If you bear no fruit for the
kingdom of God you will get cut off and burned. If you sin, you will
burn. The Apostle John wrote in 1st John chapter 5 verse 18:"We
know that anyone born of God does not keep on sinning." If a
person keeps on sinning he is not a child of God. He was not born
again or if he was born again, like the hog he has gone back to roll
in the mire, like the dog he has gone back to his own vomit.

We read in 1st John chapter 3 verse 4
"Everyone who practices sin also practices lawlessness, and sin
is lawlessness. You know that He (Jesus), appeared in order to take
away sins and in Him there is no sin. No one who abides in Him sins.
No one who sins has seen Him or knows Him. Little children, make sure
that no one deceives you. The one who practices righteousness is
righteous just as He is righteous. The one who practices sin is of
the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. The Son of
God appeared for this purpose, to destroy the works of the devil. No
one who is born of God practices sin, because his seed abides in him
and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. By this the children of
God and the children of the devil are obvious, anyone who does not
practice righteousness is not of God, nor the one who does not love
his brother”

There are so many Christian believers
that study the Bible and that quote you Bible verses about the grace
of God, but they don't know Jesus. They are not born again, they do
not abide in Jesus. As the Apostle said:"no one who abides in
Him sins. No one who sins has seen Him or knows Him." If you sin
you are of the devil, you're not a child of God, you're only
deceiving yourself. It is not acceptable even to stumble. Do not
tolerate any sin in your life if you are serious about following
Jesus. We have to be holy and sin no more. Without holiness no man
shall see God. Believers that keep on stumbling are on their way to
hell. They must repent and stop stumbling, and they must start
following Jesus every step of the way, and then they will sin no
more, and they will not stumble, because He will guide them He will
keep them. Stop stumbling and follow Jesus.

May Jesus bless you.

If you SIN you will BURN in HELL

The wages of sin is death. The soul
that sins will die, will perish in eternal damnation. Jesus Christ
came to take away the sins of the world. He pardons and forgives, He
takes away the guilt of the sin of those who repent of their own evil
ways and who submit to Him, who follow Him and who will live for His
kingdom, but if they go back to sin, then the wrath of God abides on
them.

The wrath of God is on all sinners,
whether they are believers or unbelievers. The soul that sins will
die. Many believe that because they are Christians, because they
confess Jesus Christ, that their sins are forgiven, and that God
turns a blind eye to their sin. That is not true, that is a lie. Sin
separates us from God. The unrighteous will not enter the kingdom of
heaven. Sinners have no place in the kingdom of heaven. Without
holiness no man shall see God. Jesus calls us unto Himself, for a
life of holiness and righteousness and obedience to Him, but if we go
back to our bondage, and go back to sin, if we love the pleasures of
sin, then we have no place in the kingdom of God. Jesus never
changed. God never changed. If you sin you will burn. You have to
repent and turn away from sin, live holy, righteously, in obedience
to Jesus, be led by the Holy Spirit and do what He guides you into
doing, but if you sin you will perish. If you are unfruitful you will
perish.

A tree is known by its fruit. A good
tree cannot bear bad fruit. If you are a child of God you will bear
good fruit, and you will not sin. The Lord chastises His children
that sin, but if they do not repent and mend their ways, they will
end up in damnation with the children of disobedience. There's only
one way to enter the kingdom of heaven, and that is to be pure and
holy, living in obedience to Jesus Christ. If you sin you will burn.

May Jesus bless you.

No Liberal Heaven No Free Salvation

Nobody will enter into the kingdom of
heaven by just crossing the border, or by confessing that they
believe in Jesus Christ. Salvation is not for free. There is only one
door, one entrance into the kingdom of heaven, and that is Jesus
Christ. You have to believe in Him and therefore follow and obey Him
until the very end, in order to enter the kingdom of heaven.

Jesus said:"Why do you call Me
Lord, Lord, and you do not do what I say?" If Jesus Christ is
not your Lord and if you do not serve Him as Lord then you have no
place in His kingdom. The only way to enter the kingdom of heaven is
to submit yourself to Jesus, to obey Him and follow Him, to serve Him
as Lord and Master.

Just believing in Jesus Christ will not
save you. If you believe in Jesus, then you have to obey Him. You
have to obey His teachings, His commands, the words that He spoke, as
they are recorded in the Gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. You
have to deny yourself, pick up your cross and follow Jesus Christ
every day, until the very end. You have to turn away from sin, stop
sinning, be holy. You have to turn away from running after your own
desires and your own ambitions, and you have to follow and obey Jesus
Christ. If you obey His words, repent and be baptized, stop sinning,
be holy, and you seek Jesus with all your heart, you will find Him.
He will reveal Himself to you. He will become real to you, you will
know Him for real. He will give His Holy Spirit to come and dwell in
you, and with you. He will guide you and He will teach you, but you
have to go after Him every day and live for Him, live for His kingdom
until the very end. If you withdraw, Jesus will have no pleasure in
you, you will not enter His kingdom. You have to endure and stay with
Jesus until the very end, or else you will not enter Heaven.

There is no easy way to enter the
kingdom of heaven. You have to serve the King, Lord and Master, Jesus
Christ. You cannot buy your way in there. You cannot cheat your way
in there. You cannot slip in through the back door. You have to
follow Jesus Christ every day. If He does not know you the day that
you die, He will say to you:"Go away I never knew you, you
worker of iniquity." It is only those who truly love Jesus and
therefore follow and obey Him, who live their lives to please Him,
that have the hope of entering the kingdom of heaven. Salvation is
not free. Jesus paid the most severe price to redeem those who
follow and obey Him, and those who enter Heaven will also pay a dear
price. It will cost you. It will cost you everything to enter the
kingdom of heaven. Deny yourself, pick up your cross and go after
Jesus every day until the very end, or else you have no hope of
salvation.

May Jesus bless you.

God Will Help But You Must Do Your Part

Jesus will help you to overcome sin and temptation, He will deliver you from bondage and addiction but you have to do your part. Jesus will help you to overcome and get into heaven but the you must follow and obey Him. You have to repent, stop sinning, be baptized in water for the washing off of your sin and you must live holy.

You must avoid temptation, avoid sin. You must remove the stumbling blocks. Change your ways. You have to fight temptation, resist the devil and he will flee from you. We read in Hebrews 12:4 "You have not yet resisted to the point of shedding blood in your striving against sin;"

We have to change our ways to stay out of temptation to be able to overcome. We read in Hebrews 12:12,13 "Therefore, strengthen the hands that are weak and the knees that are feeble, 13and make straight paths for your feet, so that the limb which is lame may not be put out of joint, but rather be healed."

You will be tempted and you will be tried, but you have to overcome to be able to enter the kingdom of heaven.

The apostle Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians 10:13 "No temptation has overtaken you but such as is common to man; and God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will provide the way of escape also, so that you will be able to endure it."

You have to stop sinning and be holy. You have to work and earn a living. You have to take care of your responsibilities. Jesus will help you in everything, but you have to do your part.

You have to break with sin, bad friends and bad habits. You have to stop sinning, stop cursing, lying, cheating lusting, fornicating, adulterating, cheating, getting yourself into debt, stop being worldly and running after the pleasures of sin. Jesus will help you to overcome but if you do not put in every effort, Jesus will not help you, because you are not serious about following Him. You will end up in hell because of your own laziness and unwillingness. You have to work hard on your salvation.

We read in Luke 13:23“Lord,” someone asked Jesus, “will only a few people be saved?” Jesus answered, 24“Make every effort to enter through the narrow door. For many, I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able."

Jesus will help you, but you must do your part.

May Jesus bless you.

Happiness Is...

People look for happines in many places and in various things. They look for happiness in relationships, possessions and achievements. They look for security in money, qualifications, knowledge and skills. All their happiness is just temporary and things never turn out as they expected. In the end it is all a  matter of chasing after wind.

There is only one way to have complete happiness and that is to know and follow Jesus Christ. 

The psalmist wrote in Psalm 34:7 "Delight yourself in the LORD, and He will give you the desires of your heart."

Don't become religious. Religion cannot make you happy, it can only give you false security and temporary euphoria.

Go after Jesus. Seek His company, His approval and His guidance. Follow and obey Him and you will find, joy,  happiness, peace, and fulfillment.

Seek Him in prayer. Obey His teachings as recorded in the gospel, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Repent from all sin. Turn away from running after your own pleasures and ambition. Stop sinning and running after sensuality. Be holy, be baptized in water and seek the approval of Jesus. Always have Jesus on your mind. Long for Him and He will give His Spirit in you. You will experience His presence and fellowship. He will guide and teach  you, in all things and He will fullfill you. He will give you the desires of your heart.

My delight is to bring people to Jesus because I know it is the only way to have complete happiness.

Do you want happiness?

Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all the other things will be added unto you.  Jesus knows us. He knows

just what we need to be happy.

Jesus is Lord. Delight yourself in Him and He will give you the desires of your heart.

May Jesus bless you.

Christians In Name Only

Most people are Christians in Name only. They are not following nor living for Jesus. They are not born again, they are just religious and fooling themselves, comparing themselves with themselves and with other fake Christians.

I was also like that but many years ago the Holy Spirit convicted me and opened my eyes to my foolishness. I decided to live for Jesus and to obey Him and immediately I changed. I was in corporate business, in a senior management position, doing very well for myself and the business, but I changed. Very soon I was called in by my boss and he asked me what was wrong with me, I was not the fun guy any more. I was working harder than ever but I did not participate in

the parties, bribes  and customer entertainment any more.  I was told that I had changed too much and my boss demanded that I immediately resign and leave the company premises.

We were faithful, active church members, but  I did not fit in with the church any more. I recognized all the falseness and worldliness in the church and when I started talking about it the pastor asked me to leave the church.

If you really follow Jesus and live to please Him, you do not fit in with the world any more. Friends leave you and closest family reject you. You become parsona non grata, unwanted and unacceptable. If you fit into the kingdom of heaven, you fit out of this world.

Not many people followed Jesus. He chose twelve disciples and one of them betrayed Him, with a kiss. To follow Jesus is a lonely road. You will be rejected, persecuted and hated by the sinners, epecially by the false Christians and the religious hypocrites. What they did to Jesus, they will do to you also, if you truly follow Jesus.

If you obey Jesus, repent and be baptized in water, live holy and righteously, He will give His Holy Spirit in you to teach and guide you every step of the way, but you have to stay with Him.

You will be tested and you will be tried. Only those who overcome, stay  faithful to Jesus and  endure with Him until the end,  will be saved.

Are you a true follower of Jesus or are you  a Christian in name only?

May Jesus bless you.

Spiritual Maturity

Spiritual maturity leads to utter dependence and reliance on Jesus Christ, knowing that without Him we can do nothing.

Without Jesus we are nothing.

Spiritual maturity brings a desire to do the will of God, to hear from Him, to be lead by the Holy Spirit in all things so that we can live  a life that is pleasing to Him and that brings glory and honor to Jesus.

Spiritual maturity results in total submission to Jesus, yielding to Him so that He can have His way with us to achieve His will.



Are we spiritually mature?



May Jesus bless you.

Keep Yourself Clean Pure and Holy

Many Christian believers are living in
sin and unholiness. They are religious, they go to church, they know
the Bible, and they think they are saved, but they have no communion
with Jesus Christ, because they are living in sin. We have to keep
ourselves pure and holy in order to be in communion with Jesus. Jesus
has no communion with sinning believers. Our body is a temple of the
Holy Spirit for Him to dwell in and if we defile our bodies, if we
allow ourselves to be soiled and dirty, filled with sin immorality,
then the Holy Spirit will leave us, we will not have any relationship
with Jesus.

We have to live pure and holy and then
Jesus will come and dwell in us, but if we do not obey Jesus, and we
do not live according to His Commandments, in holiness and
righteousness, in obedience to him then He will not dwell in us we
will not have any communion with Him we will not have the hope of
salvation.

We read the words of Jesus in John
chapter 14 verse 21, He said:"He who has my Commandments and
keeps them is the one who loves Me, and he who loves me will be loved
by My Father, and I will love Him, and I will disclose myself to
Him." Jesus is saying that if we obey His commandments then He
will love, us and He will come and dwell with us and He will disclose
Himself to us. He will speak to us. His Spirit will dwell in us. In
verse 23 we read Jesus said:"If anyone loves Me he will keep my
word, and My Father will love him and We will come to him and make
our abode with him."

Jesus will come and live with you and
me, if we love him and we obey Him, and we keep His words, but we
must keep ourselves pure and holy, because our body is a temple of
the Holy Spirit for Him to dwell in and He does not dwell with
impurity and with sin. If we allow ourselves to be soiled the Holy
Spirit will leave us.

The Apostle Paul wrote in 1st
Corinthians 6 verse 9:" Or do you not know that the unrighteous
will not inherit the kingdom of God. Do not be deceived, neither
fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor
homosexuals, nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards nor
revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God. Such were
some of you, but you were washed, you were sanctified, but you were
justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and in the Spirit of
our God." We were all sinners, but if we have a come to Jesus we
are not sinners anymore, then we have turned away from sin and we
keep ourselves holy for Jesus Christ, for His Holy Spirit to dwell
in.

In verse 15 Paul says:"Do you not
know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take away
the members of Christ and make them members of a prostitute? May it
never be! Or do you not know that the one who joins himself to a
prostitute is one body with her, for He says the two shall become one
flesh, but the one who joins himself to the Lord is one Spirit with
Him. Flee immorality. Every other sin that a man commits is outside
of the body, but the immoral man sins against his own body. Or do you
not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you,
Whom you have from God and you are not your own, for you have been
bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body."

Many Christian believers live in
adultery and fornication. Many are homosexual. They live in morality.
Their minds are defiled through the media, video games, TV, movies,
pornography and bad company, worldly friends. They have become
conditioned to evil, watching soap opera, and participating and
worldly entertainment. They are of the world. They are not pure, they
are not holy and they cannot be in communion with Jesus, they have no
hope of salvation. Merely believing in Jesus cannot save us. We must
repent, stop sinning, be holy, turn to Jesus, be baptized in water
for the washing off of sin, and then keep yourself clean, be a temple
of the Holy Spirit, in which He can dwell. If you allow yourself to
be defiled again, then the Holy Spirit will leave you.

If you once knew Jesus, if you once
followed Jesus and you backslid, you went away from Jesus, then
repent and cleanse yourself, get rid of your sin get, rid of your bad
friends. Purify yourself of your cleanliness, your immorality. Make
yourself a pure vessel, clean and acceptable unto Jesus, or else you
will never be in communion with Him.

Jesus gives His Holy Spirit in those
who seek Him, who obey Him and who live holy. Most professing
Christians have no relationship with Jesus. They have no communion
with Jesus. Jesus said:"My sheep hear My voice, they listen to
Me and they follow Me." Very few Christians know the voice of
Jesus. Very few follow Him. It is because they're living in sin. It
is because they are not holy and receptive vessels, they are not
pure. They do not reserve themselves unto Jesus Christ and therefor
they are not fit for the kingdom of heaven.
We have to purify
ourselves of all uncleanliness, all immorality, all sin, all
worldliness, and put our focus on Jesus; be a suitable vessel for the
Holy Spirit to dwell in, and then He will speak to us. He will guide
us. He will teach us. We will be in communion with Him, but if we
allow sin to come in, if we give the devil a foothold, then the Holy
Spirit of Christ will leave us. He will go silent on us, because we
choose evil, and through our choice of wrong and of evil we reject
Jesus Christ and we stray from Him, we stop following Him and go on
the wrong path.

Many have never followed Jesus. They
have never been in that close relationship with Him. They believe
they are saved but they are on the broad road to destruction. There's
only one way to have eternal life and that is to follow and obey
Jesus Christ, reserve yourself unto Him, seek Him always in prayer
and He will reveal Himself to you. Stay with Jesus until the very end
and you will be saved, but if you are not holy you will not see Him.
Without holiness no man shall see God. Without holiness no man will
enter the kingdom of God. Without holiness nobody will have any
relationship with Jesus Christ. Keep yourself clean and walk with
Jesus.

May Jesus bless you.

The Long Road Ahead – Health Update

Yesterday I saw the surgeon that operated on me when I was diagnosed with rectal cancer and he told me something that I did not want to hear. He said:”You have a long road ahead of you.” I was hoping for better news since I had undergone chemo and radiation that was completed a month ago. He told me that the damage in my rectum was the most severe that he has seen in all his years of practice. He scheduled me for an MRI, to better determine the extent of the damage and is planning extensive surgery four weeks from now. We were hoping for a ileostomy reversal but indications are that it is not possible.

It has been a difficult painful experience since I became ill more than a year ago and the medical prognosis of my situation is not favorable. However, our hope is in Jesus, I belong to Him and He determines my life. I died twice in December 2017, while I was in the intensive care unit of the hospital for a month, after I had complications. Very few people believed that I would survive, but I did, all because of Jesus, He brought me back and kept me alive.

We are all one breath away from eternity. We might die today and then eternity awaits us. We must always be ready. We do not know how long the road ahead of us is. What is important is that we follow Jesus all the way, until the end or else we will spend eternity away from Jesus in damnation. We have to bear fruit for the kingdom of God and bring glory to Jesus, or else we will get cut off and burned. Jesus warned that every branch in Him that does not bear fruit will get cut off and burned, unfruitful believers will end up in damnation.

Many Christians wrongly believe that if they believe in Jesus they have a ticket to heaven. They think they can sit back and celebrate their salvation. Nothing can be further from the truth. ++

+

+We have to follow Jesus, live in obedience to Him and endure with Him until the end, through all circumstances. To follow Jesus is not easy. The road that Jesus guides us onto is not for the faint hearted and unbelieving. We will face many trials and tribulations and only those who stay with Jesus until the end, will win the prize of eternal life. Without Jesus, we can do nothing. Jesus warned, He said:”Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the way that leads to life, and only a few find it.” Matthew 17:13,14.

It is when we go trough trials, tribulation, pain and suffering, that we learn to trust in Jesus. It is in those times that our faith is tested, and if we endure we learn to overcome. It is in those times and through those circumstances that our character is built and we are transformed into the likeness of  Jesus. We read in Hebrews 10:36 ”For you have need of endurance, so that when you have done the will of God, you may receive what was promised.

37FOR YET IN A VERY LITTLE WHILE,

HE WHO IS COMING WILL COME, AND WILL NOT DELAY.

38BUT MY RIGHTEOUS ONE SHALL LIVE BY FAITH;

AND IF HE SHRINKS BACK, MY SOUL HAS NO PLEASURE IN HIM.

39But we are not of those who shrink back to destruction, but of those who have faith to the preserving of the soul.”

We do not know how long the road ahead is, but we need to endure with Jesus until the end, to win the  prize of eternal life.

May Jesus bless you.

Knowing Jesus

Nothing is as important as knowing Jesus Christ, because Jesus Christ is the way, the truth, and the
life. There is no other way to have eternal life but to follow and
obey Jesus Christ, and we have to know Him in order to follow Him. He
has to know us in order for us to enter the kingdom of heaven. Jesus
warned that He will say to many people on the day that they die:"Go
away, I never knew you."

Nothing is more important for us than
to know Jesus Christ and to know Him intimately, and for Him to know
us. The Apostle Paul wrote in Philippians chapter 3 verse 7-11:"
But whatever things were gain to me, those things I have counted as a
loss for the sake of Christ. More than that. I count all things to be
loss in view of the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord,
for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them
rubbish so that I may gain Christ, and may be found in Him, not
having a righteousness of my own derived from the Law but that which
is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which comes from God on
the basis of faith. That I may know Him and the power of His
resurrection, and the fellowship of His suffering, being conformed to
His death, in order that I might attain to the resurrection from the
death." That is the desire of Paul, as he expressed it

in his letter to the Philippians, to
know Jesus Christ. If we know Jesus Christ, then we obey Him. He
justifies those who obey His words, who live in close communion and
close obedience to Him. His sheep hear His voice, they listen to Him
and they follow Him. He gives His Holy Spirit in those who obey Him.
He comes and dwells in them and He guides them step-by-step, because
they know Him. They follow Him because they love Him and they remain
in Him, they stay in obedience to Jesus, so that they can bear fruit
for His kingdom.

There is nothing as important as
knowing Jesus Christ. We might know about Jesus from the testimony of
other people, we can study the Bible. We can read the words of Jesus
in the gospels and we can know about Him, but we only get to know Him
if we obey Him, if we obey the gospel of Jesus Christ, His words, if
we obey what He commanded; repent and be baptized. Turn away from
sin, turn to Jesus. Seek Him with all our heart, then he will come
and dwell in us, and He will guide us. He will teach us. He will
always be with us, but we have to stay with Him. We have to know Him
for real.

Knowing the Bible, obeying the law, the
law of Moses (Torah), that will not save us, it is the righteousness
that comes from obeying Jesus Christ and walking with Him daily. Paul
was a righteous man according to the Law. He was a Pharisee,
blameless according to the Law of Moses but He realized that that
could not save him. He realized that he had to live in total
commitment and obedience to Jesus Christ, and therefore he called
himself a bond servant of Christ. He voluntarily served Jesus Christ.
He gave up everything, even his life, to follow Jesus Christ. We
might know the Bible. We might know the words of Jesus, we might know
spiritual people or children of God, but if we do not know Jesus, and
if we do not follow Him, then we are heading for destruction.

Nothing is more important for us, than
to know Jesus Christ and to be known by Him. If we seek Him with all
our heart, we will find Him. He will reveal Himself to us. If we seek
His guidance, He will guide us, because He cares for us, but if we
keep on shunning Him, pushing Him away, ignoring Him, then we will
not enter His kingdom. We have to walk with Jesus day by day. Our
relationship with Him must be real. Nothing can be more important
than knowing Jesus, following Him, being with Him, listening to Him
and and going with Him every step of the way until the very end.
Nobody else can do it for us. We have to work out our own salvation
with fear and trembling, because if we are away from Jesus, we have a
reason to fear.

Just believing in Jesus will not save
us. We have to know Him and obey Him, be pleasing to Him, and He has
to approve of us. Do we truly know Jesus? Do we follow Him and obey
Him every day. There is no other way to have eternal life. We have no
hope if we do not have Jesus. We have to follow Jesus and stay with
Him until the very end.

Do you know Jesus and does He know you?
Will He invite you into His kingdom or will He show you away on the
day that you die? Seek Jesus today and every day until the very end.
Stay with Him, or else you have no hope for eternity, only a certain
expectation of damnation. Seek Jesus and follow Him until the very
end.

May Jesus bless you.

Too busy with other things

Most Christian believers are too busy

with other things. They are too busy to have any time to listen to
Jesus and to follow Him. Many of them believe that their faith will
save them. They believe that merely believing in Jesus Christ for
salvation is sufficient. That is not enough. We have to know Jesus.
We have to listen to His voice and follow Him. We have to get to know
Him for real. If we seek Jesus we will find Him, if we draw closer to
Him He draws closer to us. If we obey His words, His commands, the
words that He spoke, as also recorded in the Gospels, Matthew, Mark,
Luke and John, if we obey those words; if we repent turn away from
sin, from our own wicked ways and we go after Jesus, if we sanctify
ourselves, live holy, be baptized in water, and live to please Jesus,
sin no more, but seek to do His will, have our mind on Him, then He
will put His Spirit in us. He will put His mind in us. He will speak
to us.

His sheep hear His voice, they listen
to Him and they follow Him, but we have to draw closer to Jesus. We
have to go after Him. We have to seek Him and we have to follow Him.
If we do not seek Him we will not find Him. If we do not stay with
Him we will go astray and we will not enter the kingdom of heaven. He
will guide us, if we seek Him. He guides His sheep. He teaches them.
The Holy Spirit will guide us into all truth, but we have to put our
mind on Jesus, live to please Him and then He will fill us with His
mind. He will speak to us, but if we go our own way and we do our own
things and we ignore Jesus, then we will not hear Him speaking to us.
We will not be able to follow Him. However, if we seek Him and we are
led by His Spirit, and we are doing what He wants us to do, then we
will hear Him speaking to us and guiding us, at any time, while we
are doing His will, because He will guide us step by step. We must be
focused on Jesus, seeking to do His will, always praying in our mind,
and let the Spirit of God permeate us, cultivate us, and guide us,
into his ways, and into His truth so that we can be pleasing to Him.

If we do not have that desire for Jesus
and for His kingdom, and we do not seek Him, we will not enter His
kingdom. We have to go after Jesus. If we are too busy with other
things, then we are not worthy of Jesus and His kingdom. Are we
seeking Him diligently every day? Are we drawing closer and closer to
Him every day, following Him, seeking His will and seeking His
approval. Seek Jesus and you will live. Jesus Christ is the only way.

May Jesus bless you.

Superficial Christians

Christianity is about being followers

of Jesus Christ. Jesus' disciples followed Him and they brought
others to Him so that they could also follow Him, because Jesus
Christ is the way and the truth and the life. Jesus Christ is the
only One who can give eternal life and Jesus commanded His disciples
to make disciples of all nations, people that would know Him and
follow Him, just like His own disciples did.

We all know that Jesus Christ was
crucified, and then after He was resurrected, and he ascended to
heaven, but He did not leave His disciples to fend for themselves. He
sent the Holy Spirit, His Spirit to be with them, and to guide them
and to teach them, and He also promised the Holy Spirit, the
Comforter to all those who would believe in Him; who would obey His
words, His gospel and who would repent and be baptized. Jesus
promised His Holy Spirit in them so that they could also become His
sheep. His sheep hear His voice, they listen and they follow Him.
That is what it means to be a Christian, you are a follower of Jesus
Christ. Not only because you believe in Jesus and you believe in His
teachings, but because you obey Him, you obey His words, you've come
to know Him, and He's given His Spirit in you, so that Christ lives
in you, you are a Christian, you are a follower of Jesus Christ.

Most professing Christians do not know
Jesus Christ. Their relationship with Him is not real. They are just
religious. Some are more religious than others. Some conduct
religious practices, they do Bible studies, and they do religious
practices like fasting,but they have no relationship with Jesus
Christ. Some Christians believe that through fasting you can force
God to answer you, to come closer to you. The purpose of fasting as
not to twist the arm of God, not to force God to give you what you
want, the purpose of fasting is to set yourself aside to spend some
time in prayer, to spend some time seeking Jesus, to deprive yourself
of your normal pleasures, not to go about your normal life, the
things you normally do, but to consecrate yourself, you separate
yourself unto the Lord and spend some time in prayer dedicating
yourself to the Lord.

Our relationship with Jesus Christ is
what makes us a Christian. If we do not have a real relationship with
Jesus Christ then our faith is in vain. If we do not have His Holy
Spirit and we do not follow Him, if we do not listen to Him, if we do
not obey Him, then our faith is in vain, we're wasting our time,
because Jesus will say to many believers:"Go away I never knew
you." They never had that real relationship with Jesus. Being a
Christian, is knowing Jesus Christ for real, hearing His voice,
seeking Him, going after in Him, going after Him and seeking to
please Him, to be part of His kingdom and to have His approval. Most
Christians are just superficial, just on the surface and the people
might think that they are great Christians, they have a lot of Bible
knowledge, and they profess to have many revelations from God, they
understand the prophecies, and they make predictions about the
future, but they have no relationship with Jesus. They have no
testimony of Jesus Christ.

If you are a real Christian, a follower
of Jesus then your life is all about your relationship with Jesus.
That is all that matters, nothing else, because if Jesus is not
pleased with us then we are in big trouble. If we do not seek Him and
if we do not find Him and if we do not stay with Him, we are on the
wrong road, because Jesus is the way. We have to follow Him every day
until the very end, even if we are all on our own, everybody leaves
us. Even if everybody goes the other direction and Jesus sends us
another direction, then we go with Jesus, because we know Him. He
speaks to His followers. He guides and teaches them, they follow Him.

Some people will tell you different.
They will say that God spoke through the Bible, it's all in the
Bible. It's not. It is all about the Holy Spirit of Christ that He
gives in and with those who love Him who follow Him and obey Him.
It's all about your relationship with Jesus Christ. Nobody else can
work on it for you. You have to work on your own relationship with
Jesus. There is no easy recipe. Nowadays people have computers, and
they have cell phones, and they have apps for everything. There is no
app for a relationship with Jesus Christ. You just go on your knees
and you seek Him with all your heart, and you keep on seeking Him and
you show Him that you are serious, and Jesus will reveal Himself to
you. There is only one way to be a true follower of Jesus, a child of
God, and that is to be led by the Holy Spirit, to walk with God, to
walk with Jesus every day. Are you walking with Jesus? How's your
relationship with Jesus? Do you know Him? Do you follow Him and do
you obey Him?

May Jesus bless you.

Did Jesus Really Say So?

'

God speaks and those with ears hear.

Jesus said: "My sheep hear My voice, they listen to Me and they
follow Me." Those who are being led by the Spirit of God, they
are the children of God. God does speak and those who are tuned in,
those who are following Jesus, they hear His voice and listen to Him
and they obey Him.

Many people claim that Jesus told them
something or that God spoke to them. How can we know whether that
person is speaking the truth? Do we just accept his word, that Jesus
did speak to him, that God told him something, or do we find out for
ourselves whether that is the truth? The only way to find out whether
it is the truth is to ask Jesus Himself, to say" "Lord,
that person says that You spoke to him. Is that the truth?"
Jesus will confirm it to you if it is the truth, but we cannot trust
in other people.

We cannot go by what other people say,
because then we are following after men. Jesus speaks to each and
every child, to each and everyone who follows Him. If we need wisdom
and we need guidance we must ask of Jesus. Pray, wait on Him, expect
an answer, and He will answer you in His way and in His time. If we
follow after people and we live by their word, by their revelations,
then we are not following Jesus Christ anymore. But if Jesus confirms
that He said something to another person then we are walking my
confirmation of Jesus. Always and make sure with Jesus, follow Jesus.
Do not follow men.

May Jesus bless you.

The Word Of God Is Not Cheap

Man shall not live from bread alone but
from every word that proceeds from the mouth of God. A child of God
must hear from God. Jesus said:"My sheep hear My voice they
listen to Me, and they follow Me." Many believers do not hear
the voice of God, so they are spiritually dead. They claim to have
the Word of God because they have a Bible but they do not hear from
God, so they do not have the Word of God.

We can only have the Word of God if God
speaks to us, if we are in communion with Him, if we hear from Him.
Many people say that the Bible is the Word of God. It is not the Word
of God, it is the Scriptures. The Bible cannot guide you every day,
the Bible cannot teach you in the ways of the Lord. The Holy Spirit
was sent to guide us into all truth, and those who are led by the
Spirit of God they are the children of God. They hear from God. They
get a word from God and they live by that word, because man shall not
live from bread alone but from every word that proceeds from the
mouth of God. You cannot follow Jesus if you do not hear from Him.
Then you are separated from Him and that is why He will say to many
people on the day that they die:"Go away I never knew you,"
because they never heard from Him, they never listened to Him. They
never followed Him. They did not have the Word of God, they were
spiritually dead, they were not alive.

We need to hear from God, every day. We
need to be led by the Holy Spirit. We need to be in Christ, doing
His will, to be able to bear fruit for His kingdom. We cannot be part
of the body of Christ if we do not have a word from God, if we do not
hear his voice and we do not follow and obey Him. Many people say
that they do not hear from God. They've asked Jesus to speak to them,
but He does not speak. It is because He is not cheap. Many people
think that they can just command God to speak to them, they can
say:"Lord speak to me," but they're not willing to obey
Him. Tey are not willing to pay the price of discipleship they're not
willing to obey the words of Jesus. They are not willing to repent of
their sins and of their selfish lifestyle. Their life is all about
themselves . They're not willing to give up, they're not willing to
deny themselves and follow Jesus Christ, and that is why they do not
receive a word from God. They are spiritually dead. They're not
connected to God and they will perish. Man shall not live from bread
alone but from every word that proceeds from the mouth of God. You
need to hear from Jesus, you need to follow and obey Him. You will
live from every word that proceeds from His mouth if you listen to
Him and you obey Him.

Are we children of God? Are we led by
the Spirit of God? Do we hear from God or are we spiritually dead?
Are we living from every word that proceeds from the mouth of God,
because He is our Father and we are His children, or are we just
fooling ourselves? Do we believe that we are saved, that we are
Christians and that we have the Word of God because we have a Bible?
Having a Bible does not mean having the Word of God. You need Jesus
Christ. You need His Holy Spirit in you, to guide you. You need to
pay the price, you need to obey Jesus. Repent, turn away from your
sin, turn away from going your own ways. Follow and obey Jesus; be
baptized in water, seek the infilling and indwelling of His Holy
Spirit, then you will hear the voice of God speaking to you. You have
to go after Jesus and seek Him with all your heart to be able to hear
the Word of God. You must follow Jesus, go after Him until the very
end.

May Jesus bless you.

Jesus Never Changes

Jesus Christ never changed and He will
never change. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever.
Jesus Christ died for sin and He does not tolerate sin. He forgives
the sin of those who accept Him and who repent, turn away from their
sin, and who follow and obey Him, but those who turn back to their
sin and their evil ways, will perish.

There's only one way to have eternal
life and that is to follow and obey Jesus Christ, to obey His words,
His gospel, His words that He delivered, His rules for entering into
the kingdom of heaven, the words that He spoke as they are also
recorded in the gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Repent and be
baptized. Stop sinning. Live holy. Without holiness no man shall see
God. The unrighteous will not enter the kingdom of heaven. Churches
have created many doctrines and people think that they can carry on
sinning, they only need to believe in Jesus for salvation. That's a
lie. If we believe in Jesus we must obey Him, obey His words. We must
get to know Him for real.

Jesus promised that if we repent and
are baptized in water, if we turn away from our evil ways and we obey
His words, we seek Him with all our heart, He will come and dwell in
and with us. We will be in relationship with Him, in communion with
Him. He will guide and teach us and we were know Him for real.

Many will stand before Jesus on the
day that they die and He will say to them:"Go away I never knew
you,you workers of wickedness." Many of them will be Christians
who thought that they were saved, but they never turned from their
wicked ways they never turned from going after their own desires, and
they never went after Jesus. They never followed Jesus, they never
knew Him. There's only one way to enter the kingdom of heaven and
that is to follow and obey Jesus Christ, to know Him for real. The
world has changed, people have changed, churches have changed, they
have gone away from Jesus, but Jesus never changed. We have to turn
to Jesus and follow Him, His way to enter His kingdom because Jesus
never changes.

May Jesus bless you.
