WORDS OF LIFE


‘MAN SHALL NOT LIVE ON BREAD
ALONE, BUT ON EVERY WORD THAT PROCEEDS OUT OF THE MOUTH
OF GOD.’ Matthew 4:4. Jesus Christ is the bread of Life. We
read in John 6:35 Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life; he
who comes to Me will not hunger, and he who believes in Me will never
thirst. 36“But I said to you that you have seen Me, and yet do
not believe.”
The words that Jesus spoke and that He
taught are the words of eternal life.
Jesus Christ Himself is the WORD OF
GOD. He never stopped speaking. He said:“My sheep hear My voice,
and I know them, and they follow Me; 28and I give eternal life
to them, and they will never perish; and no one will snatch them out
of My hand.” John 10:27, 28.
Jesus gives His Spirit, the Holy
Spirit, in those who seek Him and who obey Him, those who repent and
are baptized in water. They are born again of water and of the
Spirit. They are His sheep, they hear His voice and they follow Him.
Those who listen to Him and follow Him until the end will have
eternal life
Very few people listen to Jesus. Many
who were born again, never listened. They never followed Jesus. They
listened to other people, preachers. They follow after men. They will
perish, because they do not LISTEN to the WORDS OF LIFE that Jesus
speaks.
Do you obey the teachings and commands
of Jesus as recorded in Matthew, Mark, Luke and John? Have you
repented and been baptized in water? Have you received His Holy
Spirit? Are you born again? Are you one of His sheep? Do you hear His
VOICE and do you LISTEN to Him? Do you FOLLOW Him? If you don't, you
will PERISH, you will not LIVE.
‘MAN SHALL NOT LIVE ON BREAD
ALONE, BUT ON EVERY WORD THAT PROCEEDS OUT OF THE MOUTH
OF GOD.’
"Incline your ear and
come to Me; listen, so that your soul may
live. “Isaiah 55:3
May Jesus bless you.

WEIRD CHRISTIANS


The true followers of Jesus are
regarded as weird because they actually believe He is Alive, they
take His words literally, they obey Him, they hear His voice and
they follow Him. They are regarded with suspicion, despised and
rejected, because they do not fit the profile of the worldly false
Christians.
The true followers of Jesus are
children of God and therefore they do not fit in with, nor are they
understood by the world and the false church going Christians. They
do not comply with the conventions of men.
The children of God are different
because they know Jesus. The world and the worldly false Christians
do not know Jesus, they do not understand the kingdom of God because
they are not born again. You cannot see nor enter the kingdom of God
unless you are born again. You can only experience Jesus Christ, His
power, His glory, His fellowship, His presence, if you are born of
the Spirit. The world and the false Christians cannot receive the
Holy Spirit because they do not accept Jesus. They do not really
believe that Jesus is the Almighty and that the kingdom of heaven
belongs to Him. Therefore they reject Him and never get to know Him,
to their eternal detriment.
The world and the false Christians are
spiritually blind, deaf and unperceptive. They cannot see, hear, nor
perceive what the born again child of God experiences. They are
carnal, living on the level of the natural senses, instincts,
intellectual fantasies and perceptions. They are little smarter than
animals that are snared and slaughtered, because they are easily
deceived by lies, deception, their own perceptions, ignorance and
inherently human shortcomings. They are destroyed and eternally
damned because even though they know in their hearts, in their being,
to seek and obey God, they choose to follow after their foolish
fleshly lusts and desires. Many go after knowledge but their foolish
minds are darkened because they reject the Creator of all things,
Jesus Christ.
Those who accept Jesus Christ and are
born again receive revelation of the truth and gain understanding,
like the apostle Paul did, and also wrote in  Colossians
1: 13”For He rescued us from the domain of darkness, and
transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son, 14in whom we
have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.
      15He
is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all
creation.16For by Him all things were created, both in the
heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or
dominions or rulers or authorities—all things have been created
through Him and for Him.17He is before all things, and in Him all
things hold together. 18He is also head of the body, the church;
and He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, so that He
Himself will come to have first place in everything. 19For it
was the Father’s good pleasure for all the fullness to
dwell in Him, 20and through Him to reconcile all things to
Himself, having made peace through the blood of His cross; through
Him, I say, whether things on earth or things in heaven.”
The true children on God are regarded
as weird because they belong to the kingdom of God. They are born
again. They obey the teachings and commandments of Jesus, His words
as recorded in Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. They follow the
guidance of the Holy Spirit. They do not conform to the standards and
expectations of the world and the worldly false Christians They are
not sinners and they do not belong to church organizations, they
belong to Jesus and His kingdom.
Are you a weird Christian, a REAL
Christian? Do you follow Jesus? Or are you a false worldly Christian,
that follows the world, goes to church and lives in sin?
May Jesus bless you.

THE WITCHCRAFT OF PSYCHOLOGY



The world has been bewitched by the
magic of psychology which is the reason that everything is falling
apart. This was foretold by the apostle Paul in Romans 1:18 “For
the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and
unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth in
unrighteousness, 19because that which is known about God is
evident within them; for God made it evident to them. 20For
since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal
power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood
through what has been made, so that they are without excuse. 21For
even though they knew God, they did not honor Him as God or give
thanks, but they became futile in their speculations, and their
foolish heart was darkened. 22Professing to be wise, they became
fools, 23and exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for an
image in the form of corruptible man and of birds and four-footed
animals and crawling creatures.
24Therefore God gave them over in the lusts of their hearts to
impurity, so that their bodies would be dishonored among them. 25For
they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served
the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.


26For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for
their women exchanged the natural function for that which is
unnatural, 27and in the same way also the men abandoned the
natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one
another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their
own persons the due penalty of their error.


28And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God any longer,
God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do those things which are
not proper, 29being filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness,
greed, evil; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malice; they
are gossips, 30slanderers, haters of God, insolent,
arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to
parents, 31without understanding, untrustworthy, unloving,
unmerciful; 32and although they know the ordinance of God, that
those who practice such things are worthy of death, they not only do
the same, but also give hearty approval to those who practice them.”


Man has decided to disregard God and His commandments. They have
rejected Jesus Christ and His words. They have followed after fables
and therefor God gave them over to a depraved mind.


Even Christians run after the lie of psychology and reject Jesus.
They have more regard for “Pastoral Psychology” that for Jesus. A
young student pastor once asked me many years ago what I think about
“Pastoral Psychology.”. I told him, that you cannot do God's work
with satan's tools.


Jesus Christ is the only way. His words are the words of eternal
life. Those who obey His teachings and His commands will have LIFE,
in this life and thereafter. Jesus gives wisdom and understanding to
those who obey and seek Him. He gives His Holy Spirit in and with
everyone who seeks and obeys Him. The Holy Spirit will guide you into
all truth, if you trust and obey Him.


The world, the unbeliever, cannot receive the Holy Spirit. You
first have to accept and embrace Jesus Christ, obey His commands, His
words as recorded in Matthew, Mark, Luke and John; repent, stop
sinning, be baptized in water for the forgiveness of your sin, be
holy, and Jesus will give His Holy Spirit in you.


Psychology is lies, witchcraft, manipulation and deception. Jesus
Christ alone, is the WAY, the LIFE and the TRUTH. Obey Jesus Christ
and you will have LIFE, eternal life. Those who disregard and reject
Jesus, will perish.









May Jesus bless you.

JESUS GUIDES HIS SHEEP


Jesus said:“My sheep hear My voice,
and I know them, and they follow Me; 28and I give eternal life
to them, and they will never perish; and no one will snatch them out
of My hand.”John 10:27,28. Not all people are His sheep and very
few do follow Jesus. Few professing Christians are His sheep. If you
want to be His sheep and if you wish to follow Him, He will make you
into one of His sheep and He will guide you. You will hear His voice
and be able to follow Him.
Jesus does not discriminate between
sheep. He does not love some sheep more than others, He treats them
all equally. We all have a cross to bear if we wish to follow Jesus.
He did not promise anybody an easy road or a free pass. He said:”If
anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his
cross daily and follow Me.”Luke 9:23.
Jesus has not appointed some sheep as
leaders over other sheep. He is the Shepherd and He guides His own
sheep, those who follow Him. Some of His sheep follow after wolves
and other sheep, to their own downfall.
If you wish to have eternal life you
have to follow Jesus. You have to obey Him every step of the way
until the end.
Do you wish to follow Jesus? Then obey
His gospel, His words as also recorded in Matthew, Mark, Luke and
John. Repent, turn from sin. Be baptized in water for the forgiveness
of your sin. Ask Jesus to guide you. He will speak to you and give
you direction, wisdom and guidance in all things. Ask Him and He will
answer you. He will speak to you, in dreams and in visions. He will
speak to you in many ways. He will give you understanding of all
things, but you have to be serious about following Him.
Seek Jesus. Seek His way. Seek His
will, not your own. Submit yourself to Him, trust Him. Wait on Him.
Speak to Him in prayer, and expect Him. If He does not speak to you
or does not answer you, then ask Him to show you the reason.
Patiently wait on Him, and in His time He will direct you.
Become a sheep. Sheep are not
intelligent animals, unlike goats that are highly intelligent, self
willed and destructive. Sheep eat grass. Goats eat any trash, they
destroy gardens, trees, and will even eat your clothes off the
washing line. Sheep graze and are easily contained. Goats break out
of any enclosure, they climb and jump on anything. They will even
jump on top of parked cars and damage them. Many believers are like
goats, strong willed and crafty, always looking to break out, go
their own way and destroy as far as they go.
Become a sheep and follow Jesus. Jesus
will guide you all the way, but you must trust and follow Him. If you
stray, He will look for you, call you back, but if you keep on
breaking out like a goat you will be caught by the wolves. If you
follow after other lost sheep, you will also go lost. If you follow
after the wolves, the false preachers in the worldly churches, you
will be destroyed.
Follow Jesus. Ask your guidance from
Him. Stay with Him until the end ,and He will give you eternal life,
like He promised.


May Jesus bless you.

SALVATION BY FAITH ALONE IS IRRATIONAL


There is a false gospel being preached,
which is referred to as “Salvation by faith alone” and many are
being deceived by it. In the first place, it is irrational. If you
are heading for disaster and you do not change direction you will
certainly be destroyed. The wages of sin is death. If you keep on
sinning you will certainly end up in hell. Believing in Jesus will
not stop your fate. You have to obey Jesus, repent and stop sinning
or else you will perish.
I read the words of Jesus as recorded
in Luke 13:1-8 “ 1Now on the same occasion there were some
present who reported to Him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate
had mixed with their sacrifices. 2And Jesus said to them, “Do
you suppose that these Galileans were greater sinners than
all other Galileans because they suffered this fate? 3“I
tell you, no, but unless you repent, you will all likewise
perish. 4“Or do you suppose that those eighteen on whom the
tower in Siloam fell and killed them were worse culprits
than all the men who live in Jerusalem? 5“I tell you, no, but
unless you repent, you will all likewise perish.”
6And He began telling this parable: “A man had a fig
tree which had been planted in his vineyard; and he came looking for
fruit on it and did not find any. 7“And he said to the
vineyard-keeper, ‘Behold, for three years I have come looking for
fruit on this fig tree without finding any. Cut it down! Why does it
even use up the ground?’ 8“And he answered and said to him,
‘Let it alone, sir, for this year too, until I dig around it and
put in fertilizer; 9and if it bears fruit next year, fine; but
if not, cut it down.’”


Many believers are like the fig tree that Jesus talked about. They
have no fruit of righteousness and they will get cut down if they do
not repent. The grace of God leads us to repentance, but if we do not
repent and live holy, we will end up in hell.



Faith alone cannot save. Faith without works is dead. It is the
same message that Peter gave on the day of Pentecost. We read in Acts
2:38 “38Peter said to them, “Repent, and each of you be
baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your
sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39“For
the promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off,
as many as the Lord our God will call to Himself.” 



Believing in Jesus will only save you if you obey Him, repent,
turn from sin and are baptized in water for the forgiveness of your
sin. Repentance is only the start of obedience to Jesus. We have to
obey His teachings and commands and live according to His words until
the end to be saved and have eternal life.


Take to heart the warning of Jesus:“If you do not repent you
will all likewise perish.”


May Jesus bless you.

THE ESSENTIAL PART OF THE GOSPEL IS NEVER PREACHED


The gospel of Jesus Christ is a WHOLE
that leads to reconciliation with God and unification with Him
through being born again, becoming a child of God and being part of
His kingdom. The only way into the kingdom of God is Jesus Christ. He
is the way, the life and the truth. Believing in Jesus Christ is the
key, but obedience to Jesus turns the key and opens the door.
Many have heard the gospel and have
found the key but they will never enter because they did not become
obedient to the gospel of Jesus Christ. Having the key and believing
in the key does not open the door. It is turning the key that unlocks
the door that leads to eternal life.
Faith in Jesus is only part of the
gospel. Many preach that merely believing in Jesus ensures eternal
life, but that is only part of the gospel. The essential part is to
OBEY the gospel, the words of Jesus that He taught and commanded, as
they were also recorded and preserved in Matthew, Mark, Luke and
John.
Those who do not OBEY the gospel of
Jesus Christ will not enter the the kingdom of God, they will suffer
eternal punishment in damnation. We read in 1 Thessalonians 1:8 “The
Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with His mighty angels, 8In
flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and THAT
OBEY NOT THE GOSPEL of our Lord Jesus Christ: 9Who shall be
punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord,
and from the glory of his power; 10When he shall come to be
glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe.”
The POWER of God is ACTUATED when the
believer OBEYS the gospel of Jesus Christ and that power is
MANIFESTED when the the believer stays in OBEDIENCE to God under the
GUIDANCE of the Holy Spirit, that He gives in those who OBEY Him. The
mystery of the gospel of Jesus Christ is about CHRIST LIVING IN YOU,
for those who OBEY Him.
Just merely believing in Jesus and in
His cross, His finished work, as many preach, CANNOT SAVE anybody.
You need to take ACTION; REPENT, turn from sin, SIN NO MORE, turn
from seeking your own ways and pleasures, turn to Jesus. Seek His
ways, His will, to obey Him and His words, be BAPTIZED IN WATER for
the forgiveness of your sin. Live your life in obedience to His
words, His commands and He will come and dwell in you, He will
reveal, manifest Himself to you. Jesus 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 WILL MANIFEST
MYSELF TO HIM." John 14:21. 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.”John 14:23.
Many Christian believers do not receive
revelation from Jesus, because they do not OBEY Him. Jesus has not
come to live in and with them because they do not keep His words.
They do not KNOW Him. They believe they are saved based on HALF the
gospel. They have found the KEY but they are not using it and
therefor they will not enter into heaven. They have not received the
Holy Spirit, because they do not OBEY Jesus. We read in Acts 5:32.
Peter said:“And we are witnesses of these things; and so
is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given TO THOSE WHO OBEY Him.”
Acts 5:32.
Obedience to the gospel of Jesus Christ
TRANSFORMS those who believe, into children of God. They become like
Jesus, sons of God. Paul wrote in Romans 8:14 “For all who are
being led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.”
Most professing Christians are not
children of God because they do not obey Jesus. They never repented,
never stopped sinning, were never baptized in water, never received
revelation from Jesus, never received the Holy Spirit. They are
sinners who follow their own lusts, while they believe they have
salvation because they only believe part of the gospel of Jesus
Christ.
We read in 1 John 3:4 “Everyone who
practices sin also practices lawlessness; and sin is
lawlessness. 5You know that He appeared in order to take away
sins; and in Him there is no sin. 6No one who abides in Him
sins; no one who sins has seen Him or knows Him. 7Little
children, make sure no one deceives you; the one who practices
righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous; 8the 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. 9No one who is born of God practices sin,
because His seed abides in him; and he cannot sin, because he is born
of God. 10By 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.”
A child of God practices righteousness.
He who sins is of the devil, even though he might be religious. He
might be a pastor or church leader. A tree is known by it's fruit.
Good trees do not produce bad fruits. Faith alone cannot save you.
You must obey Jesus, repent and be baptized, be filled with the Holy
Spirit, then follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit and your life
will show that you are a child of God. You will be like Jesus, not
like the world.
If you truly believe in Jesus for
salvation you will OBEY Him and be LIKE Him, a child of God. Faith
that does not produce holiness and works of righteousness is false
and cannot save you.
Have you believed the gospel of Jesus
Christ? Do you obey Him and are you being transformed into His
likeness? Have you found the key and are you using it to enter the
kingdom of heaven?
May Jesus bless you.

CHRIST-MINDED FELLOWSHIP hard to find


You rarely find a person whose mind is
set on Christ, on following Jesus and doing the will of God. Most
professing Christians are looking for a “good church” where they
can have like-minded fellowship. Church members are all of the same
opinions, ideas and interests but they are not interested in
following Jesus Christ. People look for a church community where they
feel comfortable but they are not comfortable having fellowship with
Jesus. Such fellowship is dangerous and fatal. It leads to
destruction and damnation. Friendship with the world is enmity with
God, even if it might be so called Christian fellowship, because most
professing Christians do not know nor have fellowship with Jesus.
They are friends with the world.
Practicing religion, going to church,
and performing religious rituals, having so-called Christian
fellowship, does not bring you closer to Jesus.
We only get to know Jesus better when
we are in fellowship with Him and we only get into fellowship with
Jesus when we seek Him and obey Him, obey His words. Jesus 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
will disclose Myself to him.” John 14:21. The gospel of Jesus
Christ, His teachings and His commandments, His words, were recorded
in Matthew, Mark,Luke and John. If we obey His commands, Jesus will
disclose Himself to us. 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.” John 14:23. If we obey His words,
Jesus will come and dwell with us and we will come into fellowship
with Him.
Obey Jesus, repent, turn from sin, stop
sinning, be baptized in water for the forgiveness of your sins, live
holy and righteously, in obedience to Jesus' words and He will reveal
Himself to you. He will disclose Himself to you. He will speak to you
and guide you. He will give His Holy Spirit in you to be with you so
that you can have fellowship with Him ALL THE TIME.
Most professing Christians do not have
fellowship with Jesus. They do not know Him. They do not have the
Spirit of Christ. They are just religious. You only find
Christ-minded fellowship with those very few believers who are filled
with the Holy Spirit. They share with others and with each other
their relationship with Jesus and their testimony of Him. They
encourage others to come into fellowship with Jesus and follow Him.
Fellowship with other believers is not
important. Without Jesus we can do nothing. If we are not in constant
fellowship with Him, every moment of our lives, then we are heading
for certain destruction, we do not have life in us. Seek Jesus, obey
Him, have fellowship with Him or you are lost.


May Jesus bless you.

WHY YOU HAVE TO TAKE COMMUNION


Every born again child of God must
often take communion. Jesus said:” “Truly, truly, I say to
you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood,
you have no life in yourselves. 54“He who eats My flesh and
drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last
day. 55“For My flesh is true food, and My blood is true
drink. 56“He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood abides in
Me, and I in him. 57“As the living Father sent Me, and I live
because of the Father, so he who eats Me, he also will live because
of Me. 58“This is the bread which came down out of heaven; not
as the fathers ate and died; he who eats this bread will live
forever.” John 6:53-58. Jesus was talking about communion.
Taking communion is done in remembrance
of the death and suffering that Jesus went through to pay the price
for our redemption. Had He not paid that price, we would be doomed to
hell and damnation. “Without shedding of blood there is no
forgiveness.”Hebrews 9:22. Jesus gives eternal life to those who
believe in Him and obey, Him, who repent and are baptized, sin no
more but live in obedience to Him. Taking communion reminds us of the
price that Jesus paid and enforces on us His command to SIN NO MORE.
If we should be living in sin and practicing sin while taking
communion, we would be eating and drinking the judgment of God on us
for despising the sacrifice and blood of Jesus. That judgment would
lead to punishment and even death if we do not repent and live holy.
The apostle Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians
11:23-33”For I received from the Lord that which I also delivered
to you, that the Lord Jesus in the night in which He was betrayed
took bread; 24and when He had given thanks, He broke it and
said, “This is My body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of
Me.” 25In the same way He took the cup also after
supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood; do this,
as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.” 26For
as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the
Lord’s death until He comes.
      27Therefore whoever eats the
bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner, shall be
guilty of the body and the blood of the Lord. 28But a man must
examine himself, and in so doing he is to eat of the bread and drink
of the cup. 29For he who eats and drinks, eats and drinks
judgment to himself if he does not judge the body rightly. 30For
this reason many among you are weak and sick, and a number
sleep. 31But if we judged ourselves rightly, we would not be
judged. 32But when we are judged, we are disciplined by the Lord
so that we will not be condemned along with the world.


      33So then, my brethren, when
you come together to eat, wait for one another. 34If anyone is
hungry, let him eat at home, so that you will not come together for
judgment.”


We read about the judgment of God on those who use the Lord's
Supper in an unworthy manner, in verse 30 “For this reason many
among you are weak and sick, and a number sleep. “He is
talking about sickness and death as punishment from God.


The first believers did not have church buildings or temples, they
broke bread from house to house. The very same, we as followers of
Jesus must have communion in our houses, with fellow followers of
Jesus IN REMEMBERANCE of Him and the price that He paid for our
redemption.


You don't need to go to a church. You can have the Lord's Supper
in your house with wine and bread. We use grape juice because we do
not consume alcohol. We also use ordinary bread. Often it is just my
wife and I.


It is important that we have the Lord's Supper to maintain our
communion with Jesus.


May Jesus bless you.

WHY MOST CHRISTIANS KEEP ON SINNING and Will End Up In Hell



The foundation of salvation is repentance from sin and faith in Jesus. Without that foundation it is
impossible to follow Jesus and become a mature child of God. We read
in Hebrews 6: 1”Therefore leaving the elementary teaching
about the Christ, LET US PRESS ON TO MATURITY, not laying again a
foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God, 2of
instruction about washings and laying on of hands, and the
resurrection of the dead and eternal judgment.“


Most Christians profess to be sinners
and they are unrepentant. They justify their sinfulness by quoting
Bible verses that they twist. Most professing Christians never
repented, never turned away from sin and dead works, they were never
baptized in water for the forgiveness of their sins. Most of them
never received the baptism in the Holy Spirit, they were never born
again. They only have an illusion of salvation but they are heading
to hell.


Some other Christians have experienced
Jesus, but they never continued following and obeying Him. They never
became mature in their walk with Him. They became religious and fell
back into sin and worldliness. At the head of them are reprobate
pastors and preachers that proclaim that we are all sinners. That is
the situation with the worldly churches.
We read about them in Hebrews 6:4 “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.”
It is impossible to renew church
Christians to repentance because they have set themselves against the
truth. They say it is impossible to stop sinning. They love lies.
They argue the truth. They are unrepentant. They have NO FOUNDATION.
The foundation is REPENTANCE from sin and OBEDIENCE to Jesus. Jesus
said:” 24“Therefore everyone who hears these words of Mine
and acts on them, may be compared to a wise man who built his house
on the rock. 25“And the rain fell, and the floods came, and
the winds blew and slammed against that house; and yet it
did not fall, for it had been founded on the rock. 26“Everyone
who hears these words of Mine and does not act on them, will be like
a foolish man who built his house on the sand. 27“The rain
fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against
that house; and it fell—and great was its fall.” Matthew 7:24-27.
Those who disobey the words of Jesus are building their hopes on
sand. They are heading for a fall, into hell.


Get out of church and follow Jesus.
Obey the words of Jesus, as also recorded in Matthew, Mark, Luke and
John. Repent and be baptized. Sin no more. Seek Jesus to fill you
with the Holy Spirit and then follow Him, through the guidance of His
Holy Spirit, and you will grow to maturity, in Him. PRESS ON TO
MATURITY, Stay with Jesus until the end. Be holy. Do not go back to
sin and worldliness or you will end up in hell.


May Jesus bless you.

LIVING A DREAM The Christian Reality Show


Many Christians are living a dream,
fueled by the worldly churches and their ungodly preachers. Preachers
are no longer men of God but rather men of the church and men of the
world. They are entertainers and inspirational speakers that tickle
the ears of the believers, to make them laugh and be happy in their
delusion, the dream world that they are living in. Church has become
a reality show to follow after the world that does not want to face
reality but rather be watching reality TV.
Many Christians believe they are saved
but they are no different from those who do not believe. They are
delusional. Salvation is not about what you believe, it is about what
you have become and what you are doing as outcome of your faith. If
you are a Christian then you have become a child of God and a
follower of Jesus Christ.
Following Jesus is not WATCHING a show,
but BEING the show. The model of the show is Jesus. Those who follow
Him are like Him. Jesus gives eternal life to those who FOLLOW Him,
His sheep. Jesus said:”My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and
they follow Me; 28and I give eternal life to them,”John
10:27,28. If you do not FOLLOW Jesus you will not have eternal life.
If you do not HEAR His voice, then you are not His sheep. Watching or
being part of the church reality show will not save you. You have to
follow and obey Jesus to have eternal life.
You do not follow Jesus by going to
church. You have to obey Him, repent, turn from sin, stop sinning, be
baptized in water for the forgiveness of your sin. Then seek Jesus
with all your heart. He will give His Holy Spirit in you, to teach
and guide you. You will be born again, a child of God, who hears His
voice and can follow Him. You will become one of His sheep. Listen to
Him, follow and obey Him every day, until the end and He will give
you eternal life, IF you follow Him until the end. Obey and live
according to the commands and teachings of Jesus as recorded in
Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.
Do you go to church to watch a reality
show, or ARE you the reality show? Can the world see Jesus in you?
Are you following after men, celebrities, preachers and inspirational
speakers, or are you following Jesus and listening to Him? Are you
one of His sheep and do you follow Him?
May Jesus bless you.

GOD DOES NOT FORGIVE THOSE WHO DO NOT STOP SINNING


God does not wish for any to perish but
for all to come to repentance. He told Ezekiel to give this message
to Israel:”"Say to them, 'As I live!' declares the Lord GOD,
'I take no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but rather that the
wicked turn from his way and live. Turn back, turn back from your
evil ways! Why then will you die, O house of Israel?' Ezekiel 33:11.
The soul that sins will die.
 "For if we go on sinning
willfully after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer
remains a sacrifice for sins, 27but a terrifying expectation of
judgment and THE FURY OF A FIRE WHICH WILL CONSUME THE
ADVERSARIES. “Hebrews 10:26,27.
It
is of no use to ask Jesus forgiveness for your sins if you do not
stop sinning. You will not have forgiveness because you have not
turned from sin. Your confession is a lie, you are not serious. You
cannot fool God. You will end up in hell.
It
is senseless to be baptized in water for the forgiveness of your sin
if you have not repented, turned from sin and stopped sinning. You
are wasting your time being religious, going to church, reading the
Bible, even praying. God will not hear nor answer your prayer.
Without
holiness, no man shall see God.
Repent, turn from sin, stop sinning, be
baptized in water for the forgiveness of your sin, then be holy, sin
no more, or else you cannot follow Jesus and have eternal life.


May Jesus bless you.

WHAT IT MEANS TO ACCEPT JESUS


You often hear preachers say that you
have to accept Jesus Christ and believe in Him to have salvation.
However many people do not understand what it means to accept or
receive Jesus..
We read in John 1:9-13 speaking about
Jesus:“ 9There was the true Light which, coming into the
world, enlightens every man. 10He was in the world, and the
world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him. 11He
came to His own, and those who were His own did not receive
Him. 12But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to
become children of God, even to those who believe in His
name, 13who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh
nor of the will of man, but of God.”
Jesus came for the lost children of
Israel, to save them from their sins, and even though they were
expecting their Messiah they did not recognize Him, nor accept Him.
They had Him crucified and therefor salvation was extended to ALL who
believe in Jesus and accept Him.
We read in John 3:16 "For God so
loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever
believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. “
When reading these verses as published
in the English language, in the many different versions of the Bible
that are available today, readers are led to believe that you only
need to believe in Jesus and confess to accept or receive Him to have
eternal life. That is why many falsely proclaim that salvation is a
free gift from God that you just have to be willing to accept, even
though you don't want it. The true meaning of those words, to accept
and receive Jesus are much deeper and more compelling, than that
presented in modern Bible versions. The New Testament books of the
the Bible were originally written in Greek because Greek was the
universally accepted language for communication and writing around
the Mediterranean at that time. The meaning of many scriptures were
changed by the translators and Bible publishers, and so the true
meaning of many scriptures were perverted or even lost, when the
different Bible versions were written. Many phrases in the King James
Version do not reflect the message presented in the original Greek
writings. The same happened in the case of the two scriptures that I
have just read. Today, with the internet it is possible for any
person to investigate the true meaning of the scriptures even though
they have no knowledge of the Greek language. Biblehub.com presents
the original meaning of every word in the Bible if you want to
research it.
John 1:12”But as many as received
Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God,” The true
meaning is: As many as have taken hold of Him, He gave the privilege
or capacity that would enable them to become children of God,
“even to those who believe in
His name, “ those who truly believed that He is the Light of
the world, God in the flesh.
“13who were born, not of blood nor of
the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.” They
would become born again, by the Spirit of God, to be children of
God.”
Accepting and receiving Jesus is not
passive faith in Him, but rather requires that we embrace and lay
hold of Him, go after Him and submit ourselves to Him and His
lordship.
We read in John 3:16 "For God so
loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever
believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. “ The
phase “believes in Him” has a much deeper meaning than that
conveyed by the popular English translation. It should rather be “who
is committed to Him.”
The gospel of Jesus Christ requires
commitment, obedience and dedication to Jesus, to obey and follow Him
until the end. It is not the shallow message of easy believerism and
acceptance of a free gift of salvation that is preached in the world
today.
Most believers do not know and
understand who Jesus really is and what He requires of those who
believe in Him and hope to have eternal life. The message of Jesus
Christ has been diluted and made powerless through inadequate Bible
translations and a false gospel being preached by people who do not
know Jesus, neither do they have the Holy Spirit, so that they would
be enlightened by the truth.
The apostle Paul wrote in Colossians,
who Jesus really is and described His mighty power.
Colossians 1:15 ”He is the image of the invisible God, the
firstborn of all creation. 16For by Him all things were
created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and
invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all
things have been created through Him and for Him. 17He is before
all things, and in Him all things hold together. 18He is also
head of the body, the church; and He is the beginning, the firstborn
from the dead, so that He Himself will come to have first place in
everything. 19For it was the Father’s good pleasure
for all the fullness to dwell in Him, 20and through Him to
reconcile all things to Himself, having made peace through the blood
of His cross; through Him, I say, whether things on earth
or things in heaven.


      21And although you were
formerly alienated and hostile in mind, engaged in evil
deeds, 22yet He has now reconciled you in His fleshly body
through death, in order to present you before Him holy and blameless
and beyond reproach— 23if indeed you continue in the faith
firmly established and steadfast, and not moved away from the hope of
the gospel that you have heard, which was proclaimed in all creation
under heaven, and of which I, Paul, was made a minister.”


The CONDITION for salvation ,Paul reiterates in verse 23”if
indeed you continue in the faith firmly established and steadfast,
and not moved away from the hope of the gospel that you have heard,
which was proclaimed in all creation under heaven, and of which I,
Paul, was made a minister.”


The hope of eternal life hangs on accepting Jesus Christ,
embracing Him as Lord, following and obeying His words, His gospel,
until the end. There is only One Savior, and one gospel that can save
and that is the words of Jesus Christ as also recorded in the
gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Accept Him and obey His words
and you will live. Repent and be baptized. Seek Him with all your
heart and He will give His Holy Spirit in you to teach and guide you.
If you reject Jesus and His words you have no hope of eternal life,
you will perish,


Accept Jesus today and stay with Him until the end.


May Jesus bless you.

WHAT GOD WANTS YOU TO DO


I have been a serious Christian for many 
years and I believed that I was saved and living a good Christian
life but on July 28, 1998 I had  a heart attack and I died. I left
my body and I was on my way to Hell. I knew it was final and I was not coming back.

I was not living in sin. I was baptized in water, baptized in the Holy Spirit, 
speaking in tongues. To my mind and my understanding I was doing
right, living a good Christian life, but there I was, I had left my
body, I was floating on my back, being drawn down a dark black hole,
on my way to hell. I pleaded with Jesus to let me come back, but all
to no avail. Eventually I said:"Lord,  let me please go
back and  warn the world that Jesus is alive and hell is
real."

Then Jesus allowed me
to come back. My full testimony is on my Youtube
 channel
and on my website.

Many people
have asked me what I was neglecting and what I was doing wrong, that
caused me to be going to hell. I was going by my own understanding of
the Bible and I was not bearing fruit for the kingdom of God. 
After that Jesus taught me that I have to walk with Him and be led by
the Holy Spirit, to be able to bear fruit.
  Jesus said
that every branch in Him that does not bear fruit will get cut off
and burned. I was a branch and I was in Christ, born again but I was
not bearing fruit because I followed my own mind and was not led by
the Holy Spirit, and so I was being cut off.


We read in Micah 6:8 "He has told you, O
man, what is good;

And what does
the LORD require of you

But to do
justice, to love kindness,

And to
walk humbly with your God?"

We
read the scriptures and we often do not know how to practically apply
them, how to walk with God.

In the
first place we have to TURN TO GOD, seek His way, not our way. God
s
way is Jesus Christ,  OBEYING, LISTENING TO, AND FOLLOWING Him. The
only way to have eternal life is to believe in Jesus and therefore to
follow Him. How do we obey Jesus in the first place?

Repent,
turn from sin, stop sinning altogether, sin no more, do not sin. "Do
justice,  love kindness."  Repent, turn from following your
own desires, lusts and ambitions. Make it your ambition to be holy
and pleasing to God. Make it your ambition to do the will of God and
live a life that is pleasing to Him. Be baptized in water for the
forgiveness of your sin as Jesus commanded. Live your life in
obedience to the teachings and commands of Jesus,  as they were
also recorded in Matthew,  Mark,  Luke  and John. If you do not
take these first steps and obey the teachings and commandments of
Jesus,  you cannot follow Jesus, you cannot walk with Him and you
do not have the hope of eternal life.

Going
to church, reading the Bible, paying tithes, fellowship with other
Christians, preaching, casting out demons, speaking in tongues,
building churches,  doing religious things,  all of those things
that many Christians do ARE ALL IN VAIN if you do not obey His words,
repent and be baptized and then FOLLOW Him.

I
want to remind you that Jesus said: 21“Not everyone who says to Me,
‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does
the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter. 22“Many will say
to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name,
and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many
miracles?’ 23“And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew
you; DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS.’ Matthew
7:21-23. Jesus was talking to believers. Unbelievers do not prophesy
in the name of Jesus, neither do they cast out demons or perform
miracles. Jesus was saying that those who PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS are
not known by Him. 

Many
Christians today are living in sin. They say they are under grace,
not under law, but they PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS. Guess what? Jesus will
say to them: ‘I never knew you; DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE
LAWLESSNESS.’  Without holiness no man shall see God. Those
Christians are not walking with God, they are following satan,
many of them preachers and respected pastors with huge ministries and
churches, who speak in tongues,  prophesy,  cast out demons, heal
the sick and perform miracles in the name of Jesus. They are
doing all those things but they are not living holy, therefor they
have no communion with Jesus. Their fruit is bad because they are
living in sin and not bringing others to repentance and holiness.



The foundation of our walk with Jesus is
OBEDIENCE to His Teachings and commandments and HOLINESS. Without
those we will not progress in our walk with Him. In short: Repent and
be baptized,  and be holy. Set yourself aside for Jesus, 
dedicate your life to Him, seek Him in prayer, and He will
 DISCLOSE
Himself to you. Jesus 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
will disclose Myself to him.”John
 14:21. If
we demonstrate to Jesus our love for Him through our obedience to
His commandments, He will reveal Himself to us. He will come
and dwell in us. He will give His Holy Spirit in us to be with us
and GUIDE us, so that we can FOLLOW Him
 and
WALK WITH HIM. 



You cannot follow Jesus
in 
blind faith" like
so many claim to do. 
 “Faith comes
from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ
Romans
10:17. You need to HEAR from Jesus to be able to FOLLOW Him and
DO what He requires of you. Jesus said: "My sheep
hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me;
John 10:27. The
apostle Paul wrote in Romans 8:14 
For
all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of
God.”
 You have to be one of His
sheep,  who HEAR His VOICE,  LISTEN and
FOLLOW Him.  He speaks through His Spirit, the Holy Spirit,
that He gives  in those who OBEY Him.



You have to go after Jesus to have eternal
life. You have to follow Him.
 You have
to seek and obey His guidance.
 You
have to seek His approval. 



Why was I on my way to hell even though,
by my understanding and by accepted Christian standards I was
a good Christian? I was still the Boss of my life. I lived
to please ME. I had to dedicate
 my
life to Jesus, repent from my plans, ambitions and desires and
become a SHEEP,  a disciple who follows Him, hears from Him and
does what He wants me to do. I had to become a servant of the kingdom
of God and
 serve the Lord, Jesus
Christ.



I had to repent, turn from my opinion,
insight and understanding and learn from Jesus what He wanted me
to understand. The Bible took on new meaning for me. I was reading it
with fresh eyes and a new mind. My mind had to be renewed,
reformatted, by listening to Jesus, following the guidance of
the Holy Spirit. Years of indoctrination
 from
listening to other “Christians
had to
be wiped off and retaught, replaced with TRUTH. What I have learned
is not to trust in my own understanding or what I previously
learned or experienced, but to LISTEN  to the Master's VOICE,
trust, obey and follow Him.
 Never
ASSUME. Always ask and follow His guidance. Do not trust in your
own understanding,  neither ask the opinion of others, even if
they are also disciples of Jesus. Follow and obey Jesus even if
you are the only one that goes in the direction that He sends
you.
 Jesus  will guide you, but
you have to FOLLOW  and keep following Him until the end.



Without faith it is impossible to please
God. You cannot follow Jesus if you do  not absolutely trust
Him. You only get to truly know Him if you WALK WITH HIM.



Do you understand  what I am telling you?
Are you ready to WALK WITH JESUS and do what God requires
of you, dear friend.  It is a narrow  lonely road and only
few are on it, but it is the only road that leads to eternal life.



May Jesus bless you.

WEALTHY PREACHERS AND CELEBRITY SPEAKERS  Blessed by God or wolves in sh...



It is just quite amazing how wealthy
preachers and celebrity speakers always have a big following and how
they become even more wealthy. Why is that? Is it because God is
blessing them or are they making money from speakers fees, like the
politicians? Their followers buy their books, videos, tapes and
paraphernalia. They  pay top dollar  for a good  seat
at their shows and seminars. They travel far and wide to listen to
them, to be touched by them. They pay large amounts of money to stand
in line to meet them, be baptized by them, or to have them lay hands
on them.
Many believe that they will reap godly wealth if they
sow into the pockets of these blessed speakers, and so the speakers
increase in wealth and stature, they become even richer and more
famous.
People like to listen to and associate with these rich and
famous preachers and speakers, who often build mega churches and draw
a huge following. These great names are the main attraction. They get
paid large amounts of money to appear and speak in churches and at
conferences. They are in demand, busy, always on the move. They keep
on writing more and publishing more books, and so they keep on
increasing their personal wealth and fame.
However, here is the
problem. Jesus said:"If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must
deny himself, and take up his cross and follow Me."Matthew
16:24. He said to the rich young ruler:"Go and sell your
possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in
heaven; and come, follow Me.” Matthew 19:21. The disciples of Jesus
were none of them rich. They gave up everything to follow
Jesus.
Jesus warned that "it is easier for a camel to
go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter the
kingdom of God.” Matthew 19:24.
People like to run after rich
and famous people, celebrities, but they do not like to follow Jesus
or His servants because His followers do not treasure or accumulate
riches.
Here is another thing . Jesus said to
His disciples:”You will be hated by all because of My name, but the
one who endures to the end, he will be saved.”Mark 13:13. Jesus
never said His followers will be admired and that they will become
rich and famous.
What are these wealthy preachers and
celebrity speakers? Are they followers of Jesus? Are they His
disciples? 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.
      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.’Matthew 7:15-23.


Do these preachers teach you to deny yourself, stop sinning, be
holy, be righteous, be baptized in water, be filled with the Holy
Spirit, to follow and obey Jesus? Or do they teach you about grace,
money, blessings and prosperity? Do they bring you to repentance and
obedience to Jesus or do they make you feel, blessed, loved,
deserving and favored by God? Do they make you feel good about
yourself and justified in your sin?


The words of Jesus are the words of eternal life but they are
harsh on unrepentant sinners and hypocrites. At one stage “many of
His disciples withdrew and were not walking with Him anymore. 67So
Jesus said to the twelve, “You do not want to go away also, do
you?” 68Simon Peter answered Him, “Lord, to whom shall we
go? You have words of eternal life.” John 6:66.



Are you listening to these false prophets? Do you watch their
videos on Youtube and see they have hundreds of thousands of views?
Do you turn on the TV and watch their programs? Do you admire their
glamour and riches, their wealth and prosperity? Are you impressed by
their sayings? Do you support them, buy their books and send them
money, so that they can get even more rich and famous and take more
souls to hell with them?


Who do you listen to, dear friend? Do you listen to Jesus and
follow Him on the lonely narrow road, the road less traveled? Are you
one of His sheep, do you know His voice, or do you listen to and
follow after the false prophets?








May Jesus bless you.

YOU NEED JESUS NOT RELIGION - My Testimony



Jesus Christ is ALIVE. He SPEAKS and
His sheep HEAR His VOICE. I am one of His sheep, He speaks to me, He
guides me, I hold His hand and I follow Him. Like so many believers I
was ignorant. I did not know Jesus even though I believed in Him, but
Jesus disclosed Himself to me. He spoke to me.
I was religious and I was deceived.
Many years ago I first believed in Jesus. I repented and was
baptized. Then for years I was seeking the baptism in the Holy
Spirit, but even though others that I knew received the baptism in
the Holy Spirit, with evidence of speaking in tongues, I did not
receive it. I grew despondent and I was disheartened, and then I gave
up. I decided to live holy, in obedience to Jesus and then I received
the baptism in the Holy Spirit. While praying, one day, I felt the
joy of Jesus coming over me and then I started speaking in a heavenly
tongue. It was wonderful. I was filled with enthusiasm and eagerness
to witness for Jesus.
I was 17 years old. I started street
preaching and praying for the sick. Many were healed. I was going
around preaching and witnessing for Jesus. I left the church because
they wanted me to be part of their programs. I then got involved
with a group that were casting out demons and doing deliverance. They
were also speaking personal prophecies. What I did not realize is
that I was not focused on Jesus any more. I had become part of a
group, a ministry, led by men. They were manipulating group members
through prophecy. This group was also preaching for men to stay
single and not marry. For others they were prophesying to marry
specific members of the group. One day they prophesied something over
me that infuriated me. I was left with the belief that in order to be
pleasing to God I should be celibate, and that did not appeal to me.
I turned away from the group but I was also no longer with Jesus. I
was foolishly, mad at God also, and I went my own way. I was
spiritually destroyed. At that stage I was also unemployed because I
had left my job to be full time worker, or missionary in this group.
I found a job and started building my
life, working hard but I allowed sin to creep in. Before long I was
living a godless life. I got married and we had two children. I was
doing good in my work, making good money, bought a house, climbing
the corporate ladder, but then there was a car accident. My wife was
alone in the car. After lying in hospital in a coma for three weeks,
she passed away, leaving me, a widower with two little boys, the
youngest 9 months old.
Prior to the accident she had a
premonition. She would often say to me that if she dies I must marry
again, and I would say to her not to talk like that. That was a very
difficult time in my life, but in the back of my stubborn sinful mind
I knew God was speaking to me through my wife's death, calling me
back to Him.
During that time I met wonderful lady
whom I soon married. She was a godly woman though, and many fights
ensued because she wanted to drag me to church. I knew the Bible well
and I knew the hypocrisy of the church. One night my wife managed to
drag me to a tent service and I sat there listening to the preacher
with animosity and skepticism, but the Holy Spirit spoke in my heart
and I realized that my case was with Jesus, not with religion or with
a church.
I prayed and I said:”Lord, if You
want me back, I dearly want to come back to You, but I have fallen
far.” Jesus took me back. I was changed. It was the beginning of a
long, hard road that did not only change my life but also impacted on
many others. It is a the journey on which I am still today. I learned
much and I am still learning every day.
There was one thing that I asked of the
Lord and that is, I said:”Lord, I want to be ONE MAN, all the time,
that You can be pleased with.” I used to be a good actor, different
persons in different situations. I was man of the world at work and
with my friends, another person at home and yet another person when
my wife managed to drag me to church. That stopped. Jesus changed me.
I am His man, all the time. As result of that I did not fit in any
more. I did not fit in at work, they fired me. I did not fit in with
my friends, they left me. The family though I was crazy, they
rejected me. I did not fit in with church, they rejected me. That is
what happens if you follow Jesus. Jesus said:”You will be hated by
all men, because of Me.”
We went through much hardship, but in
that time we truly got to know Jesus. We learned to trust in Jesus,
not in friends or money. We often did not have money, no medical
insurance, no fixed job, no securities. We learned to pray and trust
the Lord. We never begged, nor slept on the streets, nor went without
food. That hardship lasted for more than 3 years, then the Lord
changed our fortune and it went extremely well with us, but we never
forgot what it was, not to have, and we learned to depend on Jesus in
the worst of circumstances. I can write books about the things we
went through and some of my testimonies are on Youtube and on my
website.
To practice religion is easy and
convenient, because you can always generalize, apply scripture to
your beliefs to your situation. You can justify many things that are
wrong, you can justify your own shortcomings, but if you follow Jesus
there is no place to hide. He takes you on the narrow road, the often
impossible road and you have to decide all the way along the road,
whether you will stay with Jesus or whether you will follow your own
way. The way that Jesus shows you often does not make human sense. It
is often humbling, humiliating, daring, uncertain and downright scary
but if you are not willing to follow Jesus by faith and do what He
tells you to do, you go into darkness. Your faith will be tested. Do
you really trust Jesus? Do you really love Him? Will you go with Him
all the way? He gives you the choice, all along the way. You can quit
at any time, but then you are on your own, in darkness, heading for
destruction. You can always ask Him for confirmation of what He told
you to do, or what you believe you should do. He will answer you but
you have to trust Him. If you doubt Him and start asking the opinions
of other people, you are lost.
Jesus has through the years spoken to
me many times and in many ways. He has spoken to me in a voice, in my
spirit. You look around and wonder whether other people also heard
Him. At other times softly, in a dream, in a vision. He has told me
things about people. He has said to me”That woman is lying.” He
has given me names of places and people and sent me to them with a
message, people that I did not know. Jesus has corrected me, taught
me, warned me, given me revelation. In 1998 I died of a heart attack
and even though I was seriously following Jesus, I found myself on my
way to hell. I pleaded with Jesus to allow me to come back and tell
the world that Jesus is alive and hell is real. I was following
Jesus, but at times I was not focused. He made me understand how
important it is to stay with Him every day all the way until the end.
My testimony is on my website and on Youtube. Jesus has sent me half
way around the world to do His will. In 2017 I was diagnosed with
rectal cancer. I ended up in hospital with sepsis after botched
surgery. I was in ICU unconscious for a month. I died twice. They did
not expect me to survive. I was so weak I could not even comb my hair
or brush my teeth. I had to learn to walk again. In that hospital I
had the opportunity to testify for Jesus to many doctors, nurses and
patients, people I would never have met, had I not gone through that
ordeal. In that hospital Jesus spoke to me. He also spoke to my wife.
He speaks to us all the time because we follow Him, we live for Him.
You cannot be fruitful for the kingdom
of God is you do not follow Jesus, if you are not led by the Holy
Spirit. You cannot serve Jesus by being religious, going to church
and following other people. My wife and I are normal people, we have
children and grand children. We have been married 35 years, but we
together follow Jesus. That is what He requires of us and of everyone
who wants to be fruitful in Jesus.
We share our testimonies and that which
Jesus teaches us and gives to us to share with others, hoping to
encourage them to also become disciples of Jesus and follow Him, so
that they can have eternal life.
Jesus has a specific mission and task
for everyone who believes in Him and follows Him and we can only
achieve His will, if we follow Him and are led by Him. We have to
follow Jesus, to have eternal life, not just believe in Him. How can
we serve Him, know Him and be part of His kingdom if we do not listen
to Him and do what He tells us to do? We have to know and hear from
Jesus for ourselves, not from other people and through others. Jesus
might send someone to us with a message, but that message will always
bring us back to the right relationship with Jesus so that we can
hear from Him and follow Him.
My life has made many turns and taken
unexpected directions along unplanned paths but in all of it Jesus
was there, teaching and guiding and giving understanding. He has
taught me not to trust in people, neither to follow them, only Him,
and so should you, dear friend.
Seek Jesus and you will find Him. Obey
His commands, repent and be baptized. Turn from sin and from
following your own ways. Seek Jesus with all your heart and He will
give His Holy Spirit in you to guide you all the way until the end.
Without Jesus, we can do nothing.


May Jesus bless you.

MOST CHRISTIANS DO NOT BELIEVE JESUS IS LORD to their own downfall



Most Christians do not really believe
that Jesus is Lord, and that is why they do not fear Him, nor follow
and obey Him. They just believe in Him for salvation. They are
deceived because they do not read the Bible for themselves and they
do not know Jesus.
If you read the words of Jesus, in the
Bible, specifically in the gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, you
will learn that most Christians do not know nor believe the truth.
They listen to preachers and other deceived believers, who themselves
do not know nor follow Jesus.
Churches have fabricated a false gospel
by using selected scriptures from the Bible. The general message is
that you should just believe in Jesus and in the cross of Jesus to
have eternal life. This false and lethal message, and many variations
of it, is being preached and taught in many Bible schools and
because people trust the so-called experts and Bible scholars, they
believe their lies and follow after them.
The crucial part of the gospel of Jesus
Christ is understanding WHO He is and therefor believing in Him and
obeying Him. Faith without action, obedience to Jesus, will not save
anybody. Believing in the cross of Jesus, the cross that He bore and
died on, cannot save you. Jesus Christ is the “Alpha and the Omega,
the beginning and the end”(Revelation 21:6). He is the final Judge
of all men, and He alone will decide who will have eternal life and
who will go into eternal damnation. Jesus is the One to FEAR. He
said:”Do not fear those who kill the body but are unable to kill
the soul; but rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and
body in hell.”Matthew 10:28.


Those who DISOBEY Jesus will end up in
hell even though they believed in Him. Jesus said:” 21“Not
everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of
heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will
enter. 22“Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did
we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and
in Your name perform many miracles?’ 23“And then I will
declare to them, ‘I never knew you; DEPART FROM ME, YOU
WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS.’ Matthew 7:21-23. Christians that
practice sin will end up in hell.


Believing in the cross of Jesus will
not save anyone. Jesus said:"If anyone wishes to come after Me,
he must deny himself, and take up his cross daily and follow Me.”
Luke 9:23. YOU have to pick up YOUR cross and follow Jesus every day.
Everyone who follows Jesus will bear a cross. You will suffer
rejection, discrimination, hatred, persecution, slander, you might
even get killed for obeying and following Jesus. That is the cross
that you will have to bear if you want to follow Jesus.
Discipleship is not just a requirement
for SOME. It is required for ALL who want to have eternal life.
Jesus gives eternal life to His sheep,
those who HEAR His voice and FOLLOW Him, not to those who just
believe in Him. Jesus said:“My sheep hear My voice, and I know
them, and they follow Me; 28and I give eternal life to them, and
they will never perish; and no one will snatch them out of My
hand.”John 10:27,28.
Who are His sheep? Who are the ones who
will know Him and be known by Him? Those who OBEY Him. Jesus
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 will disclose Myself to him.”  John 14:27.
If you really believe that Jesus is
Lord, you will fear Him and obey Him. You will seek Him, listen to
His voice and follow Him. You will become one of His sheep and seek
His approval. Obey the gospel of Jesus Christ, repent and be baptized
in water for the forgiveness of your sins. Sin no more. Live
according to His words as recorded in Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.
Seek Him with all your heart and He will disclose Himself to you. He
will baptize you in the Holy Spirit and give His Spirit to be in and
with you to teach and guide you. He will SPEAK to you. LISTEN to Him.
FOLLOW and OBEY Him, every day, until the end and He will give you
eternal life.


Do you REALLY believe Jesus is Lord? Do
you KNOW Him? Do you LISTEN to His VOICE and FOLLOW Him every day?
Are you one of His sheep?


May Jesus bless you.

CHURCHES DIVIDE AND RULE OVER CHRISTIANS leading them astray





Christians are divided because they
belong to churches, not to Jesus. They believe in Jesus, but they do
not follow Him. They follow after their church leadership. They
listen to pastors and priests, wolves in sheep's clothing and
hirelings, but they do not listen to Jesus. They claim to be of the
kingdom of God, but they support and build the kingdoms of the church
organizations. They are divided against each other, because they
belong to their different church organizations, not to Jesus. The sad
truth is that they are heading for hell.
Jesus Christ is not divided. Jesus
said:”My sheep HEAR My voice, and I know them, and they FOLLOW
Me; 28and I give eternal life to them, and they will never
perish; and no one will snatch them out of My hand.“ John 10:27,28.
Jesus Christ gives His Holy Spirit IN and WITH those who OBEY His
message, those who REPENT and are BAPTIZED in water and SEEK to
follow Him. They are His sheep. He guides them by His Spirit, the
Holy Spirit. They do not listen to nor follow after men, they listen
to Jesus and follow Him. He gives them eternal life because they are
His sheep.


Those who follow after churches,
preachers and pastors are being led astray. They are not following
Jesus, because they do not listen to Him. Many are not His sheep,
they are only church members and church goers, but some are Jesus'
sheep and they are following after the hirelings. They will not
have eternal life if they do not start listening to Jesus and
following Him.
.
Are you one of Jesus' sheep? Do you
HEAR His VOICE and FOLLOW Him?


May Jesus bless you

ARE YOU LIVING A LIE OR WALKING IN TRUTH


Most professing Christians are living a
lie, they are not following Jesus. They are not in the Light, they
are in darkness. They believe in Jesus but they refuse to come to Him
and walk with Him. They refuse to obey Him. They refuse to repent,
stop sinning and be baptized in water. They refuse to live holy. They
refuse to seek His will and do it, but they believe they have
salvation.
They believe lies because they do not
seek the truth, they seek their own ways. They think that they have
salvation because they are religious. They are church goers. They pay
their tithes and do charities. They study the Bible. Many are
preachers and church leaders. They cast out demons and perform
miracles in the Name of Jesus, but they love the world and the things
of the world. They love money, status and the acceptance and approval
of people. They love their comforts entertainment, worldly pleasures,
lust of the flesh and worldly securities. They are more lovers of
pleasure than lovers of God. They are living in sin. They are only
fooling themselves because they are heading to destruction. They are
separated from God by sin and all their idols. They listen to the
false prophets.
Jesus said:“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.
      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.’Matthew 7:15-23.

Jesus Christ alone is the WAY, the LIFE
and the TRUTH. Only those who OBEY and FOLLOW Him, will walk in
TRUTH. Jesus gives His Holy Spirit in and with those who seek Him and
OBEY Him, repent and are baptized in water. The Holy Spirit is the
Spirit of Truth, He will guide them into all truth IF they listen to
and obey Him.
Have you repented and been baptized in
water? Have you received the Holy Spirit? Are you LISTENING to Him
and walking in TRUTH, or are you living a lie?
May Jesus bless you.

PASSING THE PLATE FEEDING THE BEAST the False Church System


The New Testament church is not a
building. The assembly of the Saints is not to “pass the plate”
and collect money, neither is it to sit in pews and take notes while
a church paid pastor or priest delivers a lecture. There is no
program, liturgy, or rituals in the Body of Christ. All of those are
of the BEAST, false worldly church system, created by men to deceive
believers and profit from their ignorance.
The first Christians, did not have
church buildings, nor did they have Bibles, neither were they taught
from Bibles. None of the New Testament books of the Bible had been
written yet. They were taught the commandments of Jesus by the
disciples of Jesus, who were then referred to as the apostles. They
did not teach them the Old Testament Law of Moses. They taught them
the teachings of Jesus, as Jesus had commanded before He ascended to
heaven. They did as Jesus commanded, as it was later recorded in
Matthew 28:19,20 “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;”
On the day of Pentecost, when the first
Christians came to faith, Peter had to explained to them the reason
for the occurrence, when the disciples miraculously started speaking
in tongues which they were never taught, they asked him what they
should do to be saved, and he said to them:”Repent, and each of you
be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your
sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39“For
the promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off,
as many as the Lord our God will call to Himself.” 40And with
many other words he solemnly testified and kept on exhorting them,
saying, “Be saved from this perverse generation!” 41So then,
those who had received his word were baptized; and that day there
were added about three thousand souls. 42They were continually
devoting themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to
the breaking of bread and to prayer.”Acts 2:38-42.
Those first believers were Jews, they
knew the law of Moses, the Old Testament. The apostles did not teach
them the Torah, the Old Testament. They taught them the commandments
of Jesus, His words, that which He had taught and instructed them, as
those teachings were later also recorded in Matthew, Mark, Luke and
John.
We read in Acts 2:43 “Everyone kept
feeling a sense of awe; and many wonders and signs were taking place
through the apostles. 44And all those who had believed were
together and had all things in common; 45and they began
selling their property and possessions and were sharing them with
all, as anyone might have need. 46Day by day continuing with one
mind in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they were
taking their meals together with gladness and sincerity of
heart, 47praising God and having favor with all the people. And
the Lord was adding to their number day by day those who were being
saved.”
They did not build churches. They were
“continually devoting themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to
fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.. They met in
houses “breaking bread from house to house, they were taking their
meals together with gladness and sincerity of heart,” They did not
collect money to build churches. “All those who had believed were
together and had all things in common; 45and they began
selling their property and possessions and were sharing them with
all, as anyone might have need.” There was no “PASSING OF THE
PLATE” collecting of money for the “church.” There was no
“church, ”nor church organization. Church organizations were
later created by ungodly men to become part of the worldly BEAST
SYSTEM, of idol worship in temples.
We read in verse 46. They were “day
by day continuing with one mind in the temple.” Because they were
Jews, they were still visiting the temple, but they were soon banned
from the temple and persecuted by the non-believing pharisees. The
temple was destroyed in 80 AD, as Jesus predicted,and it was never
re-built.
The Christians met in houses. New
believers were baptized in rivers, dams, wherever there was enough
water. They were not baptized in church buildings. They did not
baptize babies. They baptized those who believed and who had
repented. Paul referred to the “church that is in their house” in
Romans 16:5. Communion, breaking of bread, was done in the house, not
officiated by ordained pastors and clergy. There were none. The
apostles were not educated people, they were fishermen, plain
ordinary working people. They were not educated. Very few of the
pharisees and religious leaders and teachers of the Law of Moses,
ever believed and became Christians.
Church is not the house of God. God
does not live in any church building. We read in Acts 7:48 “the
Most High does not dwell in houses made by human hands;
as the prophet says:
49‘HEAVEN IS MY THRONE,
AND EARTH IS THE FOOTSTOOL OF MY
FEET;
WHAT KIND OF HOUSE WILL YOU BUILD FOR ME?’
says the Lord,
‘OR WHAT PLACE IS THERE FOR MY REPOSE?


50‘WAS IT NOT MY HAND WHICH MADE ALL THESE THINGS?’


Those who have been born again and have received the baptism in
the Holy Spirit, they are the temple of God, they are the church, the
Body of Christ, in which He dwells. We read in 1 Corinthians 6:19 “Do
you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in
you, whom you have received from God?”


God is not concerned about churches, He is concerned about souls.
All church buildings and church organizations will perish. The money
that you work for is not for the church institution, it is to be used
for the Body of Christ, your fellow followers of Jesus as we read in
Acts 2:43”And all those who had believed were together and had all
things in common; 45and they began selling their property
and possessions and were sharing them with all, as anyone might have
need.”


We have to love, serve and take care of the fellow followers of
Jesus, the Body of Christ. Love is to be concerned for the welfare
of your brother, not of a church institution. If we care for our
brother we will be concerned about his soul and his physical needs.
Above all we will be concerned about his relationship with Jesus and
his fellowship with Jesus. The apostle John wrote in 3 John
1:2”Beloved, I pray that in all respects you may prosper and be in
good health, just as your soul prospers.3For I was very glad when
brethren came and testified to your truth, that is, how you
are walking in truth. 4I have no greater joy than this, to hear
of my children walking in the truth.5Beloved, you are acting
faithfully in whatever you accomplish for the brethren, and
especially when they are strangers; 6and they have
testified to your love before the church. You will do well to send
them on their way in a manner worthy of God. 7For they went out
for the sake of the Name, accepting nothing from the
Gentiles. 8Therefore we ought to support such men, so that we
may be fellow workers with the truth.” He was speaking of
SUPPORTING those who labor for the SOULS of others, to support them,
not a church organization.


The true body of Christ, the called out assembly have always been
a small flock that were persecuted by the false church, that is part
of the worldly BEAST system. If you follow Jesus and are part of His
flock you will not fit into the worldly churches. You will be hated
and persecuted by them. The worldly church system is a BEAST that
functions ON and FOR MONEY.


Get out of the organizational church system. Stop feeding the
BEAST. Stop giving them your money. Follow Jesus. Love and serve the
other followers of Jesus that might be in need. Be the temple of the
Holy Spirit, in whom He dwells. Serve Jesus IN YOUR HOUSE and share
Him with others. Testify for Jesus, bring others to Jesus, into
fellowship with Him. Follow Him and you will bear much fruit for the
kingdom of God.


May Jesus bless you.

IN JEOPARDY OF GOD'S WRATH


Many people put themselves in jeopardy
of God's wrath and retribution every day because they willfully go on
sinning. They do not even make an effort to be righteous. Many of
them are Christians. They are playing with FIRE.
" We read in Romans 1:18”For the wrath of God is revealed
from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who
suppress the truth in unrighteousness, 19because that which is
known about God is evident within them; for God made it evident to
them. 20For since the creation of the world His invisible
attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly
seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are
without excuse. 21For even though they knew God, they did not
honor Him as God or give thanks, but they became futile in their
speculations, and their foolish heart was darkened. 22Professing
to be wise, they became fools, 23and exchanged the glory of the
incorruptible God for an image in the form of corruptible man and of
birds and four-footed animals and crawling creatures.


      24Therefore God gave them over
in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, so that their bodies would
be dishonored among them. 25For they exchanged the truth of God
for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the
Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.


      26For this reason God gave
them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged the
natural function for that which is unnatural, 27and in the same
way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and
burned in their desire toward one another, men with men committing
indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of
their error.


      28And just as they did not see
fit to acknowledge God any longer, God gave them over to a depraved
mind, to do those things which are not proper, 29being filled
with all unrighteousness, wickedness, greed, evil; full of envy,
murder, strife, deceit, malice; they are gossips, 30slanderers,
haters of God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil,
disobedient to parents, 31without understanding, untrustworthy,
unloving, unmerciful; 32and although they know the ordinance of
God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, they
not only do the same, but also give hearty approval to those who
practice them.”


People think that God does not see. Many Christians think that
they are under grace and that God will not punish them for their
wickedness, but they are making a grave mistake. They are constantly
placing themselves in jeopardy. Judgment is coming. If they do not
repent of their wickedness and stop sinning, they are heading for
certain destruction.


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.”


You will not get away with sin. The wages of sin is death. You
will be duly punished. GOD WILL RENDER TO EACH PERSON ACCORDING TO
HIS DEEDS.


Repent or you will perish. Repent of
your sins and stop sinning. Be baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ
for the forgiveness of your sins. Sin no more. Be holy Make peace
with God and stay at peace with Him. SIN NO MORE.
May Jesus bless you.
