WALKING IN VICTORY

The born again child of God is empowered to live in victory over the

flesh and the world. The power does not lie in the person himself,
but in the Spirit that dwells in him, the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of
Christ. Many claim to be born again but they are not victorious. They
are tossed around by every new teaching and they do not have victory
over the devil and the flesh.

If
we follow Jesus and are guided by the Holy Spirit, the devil and the
flesh will have no control over us. The devil controls, deceives and
destroys the world through lies. He leads people down the road of
destruction because they listen to him.

Jesus
is the Good Shepherd His sheep hear His voice and they follow Him.
He guides and protects them, and He gives them eternal life. Jesus
cares for all His sheep, but not all of His sheep listen to Him and
follow Him, and that is why they are being destroyed. They listen to
other people, they follow after preachers and churches, the wolves
in sheep’s clothing.

Jesus
gives His Holy Spirit in everyone who seeks and obeys Him, who
repents and is baptized, who obeys His teachings and commandments as
recorded in Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Jesus guides His own
sheep. He did not appoint other shepherds. Most Christian believers
are not His sheep, they were never born again. Others were born
again but they are not following Jesus and that is why they are
deceived, defeated and destroyed by satan.

Are
you WALKING IN VICTORY? Are you following Jesus, the Good Shepherd,
or are you following after strangers and being destroyed?

When
last did you read the 23rd Psalm and does it have real meaning to
you? Is Jesus, your Lord and Shepherd?

1The
LORD is my shepherd,
I shall not want.

2He makes me lie down in green
pastures;
He leads me beside quiet waters.


3He restores my soul;
He
guides me in the paths of righteousness
For His name’s sake.


 4Even though I walk
through the valley of the shadow of death,
I fear no evil, for
Thou are with me;
Thy rod and Thy staff, they comfort me.


5Thou preparest a table before
me in the presence of mine enemies: Thou anointest my head with oil;
my cup runneth over.


6Surely goodness and mercy
shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the
house of the LORD for ever.

May
Jesus bless you.

CAN YOU STOP SINNING IN YOUR OWN POWER?

The whole world is in the power of the evil one, because of sin. The

reason for sin and corruption is lust. People sin when they follow
their own sinful desires. People become addicted and demon possessed
when they open the door to demons through sin, watching TV,
pornography, reading evil books, like Harry Potter, video games, and
substance abuse. Then they become compelled and driven by evil forces
that seek to destroy them. They lose control of themselves. They are
slaves to sin and cannot escape. The wages of sin is death. The soul
that sins will die. As long as you keep on sinning you are doomed and
destined for hell and destruction. 

That
is why Jesus came, to take away the sins of the world, to set the
captives free, those who are bound by sin. We read in John 1:29, John
the Baptist saw Jesus coming to him and said:"Behold, the
Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!”  

Only
Jesus can set you free from the bondage of sin. We read in John 8:34
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. If the Son of God, Jesus, sets you
free. You will not be a slave to sin any more, you will be FREE from
the bondage of sin. 

If
you come to Jesus and ACCEPT Him, He will set you free and make you
NEW inside, a child of God. We read in John 1:12 “But as many as
received Him, to them He gave the power 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.”
You MUST be BORN AGAIN. 

If
you RECEIVE Jesus, EMBRACE Him, ACCEPT Him as you Lord and Master,
COME TO Him, bow down before Him, SUBMIT yourself to Him; PRAY, cry
out to Him to SAVE you, He will save you from your sin. He will set
you free from the bondage of sin, but you need to stay with Jesus and
OBEY Him, to stay free. 

Repent,
turn away from sin and from your previous lifestyle of worldliness
and going after the desires of the flesh. Follow
after Jesus,  stop sinning, live holy. Be baptized in water
for the forgiveness of your sins. Live according to
the words of  Jesus as they were
recorded in Matthew,  Mark,  Luke and John.  

If
you turn away from Jesus and go back to sin, you will
become MORE ENSLAVED than before you met Jesus, you will be
worse off than before. That is why many Christians
are wicked  sinners who are
unable to stop sinning. No wonder that the writer of Hebrews
wrote 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 however not the end of the line for those who have back-slided.
There is hope if such a person truly
repents, as we see in the parable of the prodigal
son in Luke 15:11-32. If
you are a prodigal son or daughter, RUN back to the
Father's house before
it might be forever too late. 

Sinners
will NOT enter heaven, if they do not repent and stop sinning.
Without holiness no one will see the
Lord. As long as you keep sinning, you
are DEAD in sin and DOOMED to damnation. 

You
can only stay FREE FROM SIN as long as you stay with Jesus. Without
Jesus we can do nothing.  If you sin and end up in
hell, you only have yourself to blame, because you rejected
Jesus and went away from Him.  

Run
to Jesus. Ask Him to save you. Then obey and stay with
Him. Be holy and SIN NO MORE. 

May
Jesus bless you.  

PERSISTENCE DILIGENCE AND OBEDIENCE

Salvation is not just about believing  in Jesus  Christ, it is a journey. Jesus

invites everybody to follow Him and have eternal life,  but
very few stay with  Jesus and endure with Him until the
end. It requires PERSISTENCE and DILIGENCE to stay with
Jesus until the end. You will have to
use all your strength and you will have to hang on to Jesus
for dear life, because without Him you will not be able to make
it. Your journey with Jesus starts when you accept Him as you Lord and Master,

and from then onwards you have to submit to Him and obey
Him, every step of the way, until the end. Nobody can snatch you
out of His  hand, but if you decide to leave Him or
disobeying Him, He will not stop you. Jesus
will not accommodate your opinion, your preferences or
feelings. You either obey and follow  Him or you part ways with
Him, in which case, you are heading for destruction. You
cannot follow Jesus if you do not absolutely trust and obey
Him. 

First
you have to REPENT  and BE BAPTIZED. To repent  means to
TURN from SIN and from your previous way of living, going after your
selfish desires, ambitions and the pleasures of sin. You cannot
follow Jesus if you are still going after those things. You have to
give up your rights and privileges of self-determination. You have to
totally submit to Jesus and DIE to SELF so that you can LIVE FOR
Jesus and follow Him. Once you have REPENTED you have to be baptized
in water for the remission, the cancellation of debt, of
your past sins. You cannot follow Jesus, if you have not been
baptized for the remission of your sins. Then you have to
live holy and sin no more.

You have to live in obedience to the teachings and commandments of
Jesus, HIS WORDS, as they were also recorded in Matthew, Mark, Luke
and John. 

Jesus promised the baptism in the Holy Spirit to those who wish to
follow Him and have therefor obeyed Him, repented and been baptized.
The Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Christ, will come and dwell IN THEM
and GUIDE them so that they can FOLLOW Jesus and DO what He requires
of them, the WORKS that He has prepared for them to do. You cannot
follow Jesus, if you have not received the Holy Spirit. “Those who
are being led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.”
Romans 8:14. 

If we wish to follow Jesus and have eternal life, WE have to
continuously SEEK Him in PRAYER. We have to seek the baptism in the
Holy Spirit so that we can experience the indwelling presence and
guidance of Jesus, through the Holy Spirit in us. We have to live
holy and reserve ourselves to Jesus. If we should sin and disobey
Him, we will GRIEVE the Holy Spirit and He might stop speaking to us.
We have to seek His guidance and obey Him. “Without faith it is
impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe
that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who
diligently seek Him.” Hebrews 11:6. 

Our faith will be tested. Our loyalty to Jesus will be tested. Our
obedience and perseverance will be tested. We have to be persistent
in all circumstances and never give up, no matter what our
circumstances are. We must be faithful in our devotion to Jesus,
praying, seeking Him, keep our mind on Him, expecting Him. Listening
to Him and staying tuned in to Him. He will fill us with His thoughts
as we desire and yearn for Him. He will not force Himself on us. We
have to diligently seek Him, trust in Him, expect Him, even though
things around us do not look favorable or do not work out as we hoped
or expected.. 

Jesus will always be with us. He will not leave us, even in sickness,
pain, misfortune, disappointment, heartbreak, sadness, Jesus is
there. If we stay focused on Him, we will recognize His hand and hear
His voice. He will teach and guide us in many ways. Often things will
not work out the way that we hoped or expected. Keep trusting Him. He
knows what He is doing, and He makes all things work together for
good, for those who love Him and seek Him, because they are called
for His purpose. He will give us understanding and wisdom, if we stay
with Him. He will give us the power to endure and pass every test so
that we can win the prize of eternal life in the end. 

We need to be persistent, diligent and obedient, never give up.
Endure until the end. There is a prize for over-comers. We have to
stay with Jesus until the end, because without Him, we cannot make
it.  Without Jesus, we can do nothing. 

Have you started the journey, following Jesus? Are you following and
obeying every day? Are you persistent and diligent, seeking and doing
His will? Do you still have the hope of eternal life? 

May Jesus bless you. 

WILL YOU WORK FOR JESUS?

Will you work for Jesus? Will you serve Him? Jesus is Lord. The kingdom

of heaven belongs to Him. He will decide who will go in there and who
not. It is not in vain that Jesus told the parable of the talents.
We read in Matthew 25:14-30.

14“For it
is just like a man about to go on a journey, who
called his own slaves and entrusted his possessions to them. 15“To
one he gave five talents, to another, two, and to another, one, each
according to his own ability; and he went on his
journey. 16“Immediately the one who had received the five
talents went and traded with them, and gained five more
talents. 17“In the same manner the one who had
received the two talents gained two more. 18“But
he who received the one talent went away, and dug a
hole in the ground and hid his master’s money.

      19“Now
after a long time the master of those slaves came and settled
accounts with them. 20“The one who had received the five
talents came up and brought five more talents, saying, ‘Master, you
entrusted five talents to me. See, I have gained five more
talents.’21“His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and
faithful slave. You were faithful with a few things, I will put you
in charge of many things; enter into the joy of your master.’

      22“Also
the one who had received the two talents came up and said,
‘Master, you entrusted two talents to me. See, I have gained two
more talents.’ 23“His master said to him, ‘Well done, good
and faithful slave. You were faithful with a few things, I will put
you in charge of many things; enter into the joy of your master.’

      24“And
the one also who had received the one talent came up and said,
‘Master, I knew you to be a hard man, reaping where you did not sow
and gathering where you scattered no seed. 25‘And I was
afraid, and went away and hid your talent in the ground. See, you
have what is yours.’

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

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

That is what will
happen to born again children of God that are unfruitful. They will
end up in hell.

Are we using our
talents, our abilities, our resources and time for the kingdom of
God? Are we serving Jesus and bringing souls to Him? Or are we hiding
our talents, wasting them on the things of the world?

Will we work for
Jesus?

May Jesus bless you.

ARE YOU PREPARED TO DIE?

“Man is appointed to die once,and after that to face judgment.”

Hebrews 9:27. We will all die and we will all face judgment. Nobody
will escape. We will be judged by our DEEDS. Nobody knows when their
last day will be. It is therefor wise to always be prepared and to
live every day as though it is our last day.

Jesus Christ Himself is the final judge
of all men. We read in 2 Corinthians 5:10 “For we must all appear
before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may be
recompensed for his deeds in the body, according to what he has done,
whether good or bad.” We also read the words of the apostle Paul in
Romans 2:6-11 “God...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.”

We read in Revelation 20:11-15 “Then
I saw a great white throne and Him who sat upon it, from whose
presence earth and heaven fled away, and no place was found for
them. 12And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing
before the throne, and books were opened; and another book was
opened, which is the book of life; and the dead were judged
from the things which were written in the books, according to their
deeds. 13And the sea gave up the dead which were in it, and
death and Hades gave up the dead which were in them; and they were
judged, every one of them according to their deeds. 14Then
death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second
death, the lake of fire. 15And if anyone’s name was not found
written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.”

Many people will die today but very few
are prepared to die and face judgment. Many choose not to believe the
truth and prepare. Others are complacent and believe that they still
have much time left. Many are deceived by false doctrines. They are
just religious. They believe in Jesus for salvation but they do not
know nor obey Him. They believe that they are saved by grace, they
keep on sinning and live worldly lives but they will end up in hell
if they do not repent and obey Jesus. Jesus warned that He will send
many believers to hell. He 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.


All sinners and sinning believers will end up in hell. Being
religious and just believing in Jesus will not save you. We have to
live holy and righteously. In obedience to Jesus.


The words of Jesus are the words of eternal life. Those who
disobey Jesus will perish. His words are recorded in Matthew, Mark,
Luke and John. Jesus said:“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.


Are you ready to die? Are you ready to face judgment? Obey Jesus,
repent and be baptized, be holy and live in obedience to the words
and commandments of Jesus, and He will reveal himself to you. You
will know Him and He will know you. You will have the hope of eternal
life. Do not delay. Get right with Jesus and stay right with Him,
until the end. We don't know when our time will come. Always be
ready.


May Jesus bless you.

HAVE YOU FOUND JESUS?

Many people believe in Jesus but they

have never found Him. Many believe in a false gospel, a gospel that
says that you only need to believe in Jesus to have eternal life.
They confess to believe in Jesus and think they are saved, but they
are deceived, because they never met Jesus and they do not know Him.
Neither does He know them. Many of those are professing
Christians,  even preachers and church leaders. Jesus warned:
“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 7:22-23.
Salvation is not just an intellectual exercise,
or a ritual where you go through a series of steps and then you are
guaranteed eternal life. The unrighteous, sinners,  cannot enter
the kingdom of God. Only saints can enter. You need to be born again
to enter the kingdom of God. You must first become a saint.
Only
Jesus can make you new. "Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is
a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have
come." 2 Corinthians 5:17. To be in Christ you need to accept
Jesus,  to be your Lord and Master submit yourself to Him, obey
and serve  Him.
In order for  you to be born
again, you must die first. You must die to sin through being baptized
in water. We read in Romans 6:3-11. "all of us who have been
baptized into Christ Jesus have been baptized into His death?
4Therefore we have been buried with Him through baptism into death,
so that as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the
Father, so we too might walk in newness of life. 5For if we have
become united with Him in the likeness of His death, certainly we
shall also be in the likeness of His resurrection, 6knowing this,
that our old self was crucified with Him, in order that our body of
sin might be done away with, so that we would no longer be slaves to
sin; 7for he who has died is freed from sin.8Now if we have died with
Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him, 9knowing that
Christ, having been raised from the dead, is never to die again;
death no longer is master over Him. 10For the death that He died, He
died to sin once for all; but the life that He lives, He lives to
God. 11Even so consider yourselves to be dead to sin, but alive to
God in Christ Jesus.
    
12Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey
its lusts, 13and do not go on presenting the members of your body to
sin as instruments of unrighteousness; but present yourselves to God
as those alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of
righteousness to God."
You must be born again of water,
through baptism,  and of the Spirit, by being baptized in the
Holy Spirit,  by Jesus; after being baptized in water.
John
the Baptist said:“I baptized you with water; but He will baptize
you with the Holy Spirit.” Mark  1:8.
That is why on the
day of Pentecost Peter said : “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.”Acts 2:38,39.
Jesus gives
eternal life to those who are born again, those who have become His
sheep, who hear His voice and follow Him. They are led by the Holy
Spirit. "Those who are being led by the Spirit of God,
they are the sons of God. "Romans 8:14. They are the children of
God.
Jesus  reveals Himself to those who accept Him and
obey Him, those who repent and are baptized. He baptizes them in the
Holy Spirit. They are born again, they are His sheep, who hear His
voice and follow Him. He gives them eternal life, if they follow Him
until the very end.
Have you found Jesus? Have you been born again
of water and the Spirit? Are you one of His sheep? Do you HEAR His
voice and do you follow  Him?
May Jesus bless you.

HEAR FROM JESUS NOT FROM OTHERS

Jesus is ALIVE. His sheep HEAR His

VOICE and they FOLLOW Him. Sadly very few professing Christians are
His sheep because very few HEAR Him. Salvation is not just about
confessing that you believe in Jesus. Most people who believe in
Jesus are not His sheep, they do not know Him and they will not have
eternal life.

Every truly born-again child of God has
the ABILITY to HEAR His VOICE. You cannot HEAR His voice neither SEE
nor enter the kingdom of God if you are not-born again. Being a
Christian does not mean being of the Christian faith. It means that
you are a child of God, who KNOWS His voice. Most professing
Christians are spiritually blind and deaf. They were never been born
again. Many of them never met Jesus and most of those who did, do not
hear nor follow Him. They follow after other people, preachers,
myths, theories, beliefs and false doctrines.

Those who are being led by the Spirit
of God, they are the children of God. Salvation comes by MEETING with
Jesus after believing in Him and then FOLLOWING Him. You meet Jesus
on your knees, if you kneel before Him, to humble yourself before Him
and accept Him as your Lord and Master. If you truly believe that He
is Lord and pray to Him, call on Him from your heart, He will save
you. You will enjoy peace and joy like never before in your life. He
will make you a child of God, but then you have to obey and follow
Him, or else you will not stay saved. If you do not obey Jesus and do
not stay with Him you will spiritually wither and die.

That is what happens to many believers,
because they do not stay with Jesus. That is what Jesus illustrated
with the parable of the sower. We read in Matthew 13:18“Hear then
the parable of the sower. 19“When anyone hears the word of the
kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and
snatches away what has been sown in his heart. This is the one on
whom seed was sown beside the road. 20“The one on whom seed
was sown on the rocky places, this is the man who hears the word and
immediately receives it with joy; 21yet he has no firm root
in himself, but is only temporary, and when affliction or
persecution arises because of the word, immediately he falls
away. 22“And the one on whom seed was sown among the thorns,
this is the man who hears the word, and the worry of the world and
the deceitfulness of wealth choke the word, and it becomes
unfruitful. 23“And the one on whom seed was sown on the good
soil, this is the man who hears the word and understands it; who
indeed bears fruit and brings forth, some a hundredfold, some sixty,
and some thirty.”

The believers who stay with Jesus, obey
and follow Him are the ones who bear fruit and who will have eternal
life. They are the ones who OBEY the gospel of Jesus Christ, who
repent and are baptized, who receive the baptism in the Holy Spirit
and who follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Without Jesus,
without the guidance of His Spirit we cannot bear fruit, we can do
nothing.

Jesus gives His Holy Spirit in those
who OBEY Him, who repent and are baptized and who obey His commands,
His teachings as also recorded in Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Jesus
said:”the Holy Spirit will teach you all things,” John 14:26
“the Spirit of Truth... He will guide you into all the truth; for
He will not speak on His own initiative, but whatever He hears, He
will speak; and He will disclose to you what is to come. 14“He
will glorify Me, for He will take of Mine and will disclose it to
you.” John 16:13,14.

Most believers never receive the Holy
Spirit and that is why they do not HEAR the VOICE of Jesus and do
not FOLLOW Him. Some have received the Holy Spirit, but they do not
LISTEN, to Him. They ask advice from other people, from pastors and
preachers and self appointed spiritual leaders. They follow their own
minds and make assumptions from Bible verses. They do not LISTEN and
hear from Jesus through the Holy Spirit.

You must HEAR from Jesus, to be able to
follow Him, bear fruit, be pleasing to Him and have eternal life. We
can only be pleasing to Jesus and be fruitful for the kingdom of God
if we HEAR from Jesus and OBEY Him, follow His guidance.

Seek Jesus, pray, meet with Him, obey
His words, repent and be baptized. Ask Him and He will give His Holy
Spirit in you to teach and guide you in all things. Follow the
guidance of the Holy Spirit, until the end and you will have eternal
life.

Do not follow after other people. Do
not ask their advice or guidance. Stay with Jesus seek His guidance.
Trust Him and He will guide you, all the way, until the end. Jesus
alone is the way, the truth and the life. Follow Him and He will give
you eternal life.

May Jesus bless you.

MEETING JESUS WILL CHANGE YOU

Many people believe in Jesus and even

call themselves Christians, but they have never met the risen Jesus.
They believe in Jesus based on reading the Bible or through the
testimony of other people. They are merely believers, not followers
of Jesus. They cannot follow Him because they do not know Him. Most
of these people are sinners and they cannot stop sinning and be holy.
They are in bondage of sin. They are not children of God, because
they were never born-again. If you meet Jesus, you will be a changed
person.

The apostle Paul persecuted the
followers of Jesus, but then he met Jesus and he was totally changed.
He was born-again. Paul met the resurrected Jesus, after He had risen
from the dead. We read in Acts 9:1-6 “1Now Saul, still breathing
threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord, went to the
high priest,2and asked for letters from him to the synagogues at
Damascus, so that if he found any belonging to the Way, both men and
women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem. 3As he was
traveling, it happened that he was approaching Damascus, and suddenly
a light from heaven flashed around him; 4and he fell to the
ground and heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why are you
persecuting Me?” 5And he said, “Who are You, Lord?” And
He said, “I am Jesus whom you are persecuting, 6but
get up and enter the city, and it will be told you what you must do.”

You can read the rest of Acts 9 to see
what further happened. Paul went on to follow Jesus, suffer much
persecution for Him, received many revelations from Him and died as a
martyr. He also wrote most of the New Testament books.

If you meet Jesus and accept Him, you
will also be born-again. You will be changed to be like Jesus, if you
follow Him. You will not be like Paul, you will be like Jesus and you
will do the works that Jesus prepared for you to do. You will be the
person that Jesus wants you to be.

If you meet Jesus and accept Him, you
will obey Him and do as Paul did. Paul prayed, humbled himself before
Jesus, and he was baptized in water and filled with the Holy Spirit..
Paul did not go back to his old life. He started witnessing,
proclaiming Jesus. If you have met Jesus and accepted Him, repented
and were baptized in water, received the Holy Spirit and are serious
about having eternal life, you will follow the guidance of the Holy
Spirit.

Jesus is the only way. There is no
other way to have salvation. You have to meet Him, know Him follow
and obey Him, to have eternal life. 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.

You meet Jesus ON YOUR KNEES, PRAYING.
Go on your KNEES, humble yourself before Jesus in prayer. Call out to
Him to SAVE you FROM YOUR SIN, to set you free from the bondage of
your sin. The wages of sin is death. Your past sin will cause you to
end up in hell, if you are not forgiven and delivered of the bondage
of sin so that you can sin no more and be holy. Without holiness no
one will enter heaven, without holiness no one will see the Lord.

Call out to Jesus to take away the
guilt of your past sin and to save you from your sin, to make you
free from the bondage of sin. Jesus said:”Truly, truly, I say to
you, everyone who commits sin is the slave of sin. “And the
slave does not remain in the house forever; the son does remain
forever. “If therefore the Son shall make you free, you shall
be free indeed.” John 8:34-36.

If you are serious about following
Jesus and having eternal life, you will meet Jesus, right there on
your knees. Then you need to follow Him. Turn from sin. Don't go back
to any sin. Sin no more. Be baptized in water for the washing off of
your sin and ask Jesus to baptize you in the Holy Spirit that He
promised to those who obey Him. The Holy Spirit, Christ in you, will
guide you into all truth IF you LISTEN to Him. You will become one of
Jesus' sheep, who HEAR His voice, but you have to FOLLOW HIM until
the end to have eternal life.

If you keep on LISTENING, OBEYING and
FOLLOWING Him, you will have the HOPE of eternal life, but if you
turn from Him, ignore Him, go back to sin and follow after your own
desires and lusts, you will perish.

Have you met Jesus? Have you been
CHANGED? Did Jesus set you free from sin? Are you born-again? Are you
following Jesus?

Many have met Jesus. They were
born-again but they turned away from Jesus. They did not follow Him.
They went back to sin and their previous lifestyle. They got
entangled in sin again. They are worse sinners than before they met
Jesus. We read in Hebrews 6:4-8 “4For 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.“ Are you one of those? There is still
hope, dear friend, if you repent and go back to Jesus, but do not
delay, or you will get cut off and burned if you do not bear fruit of
repentance..

Many have become self-righteous,
religious, pharisees. They are church goers, preachers, pastors,
evangelists. They are doing religion. They do not follow Jesus. They
are busy with their own ministries. They are bad trees that bear bad
fruit. Most church folks are like that. They are SINNERS, they are
NOT HOLY. 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 5:21-23.

We cannot follow Jesus if we do not
KNOW Him and OBEY Him. We cannot follow Him if we follow our own MIND
and other people. We have to be CHANGED, BORN-AGAIN, filled with the
Holy Spirit, submitted to the Holy Spirit and following His guidance.
We cannot be like the world and the unbeliever. We have follow Jesus
every day, until the end. That is the only way to have eternal life.

Meeting with Jesus once, does not save
you and keep you safe. You have to STAY with Him, HEAR from Him and
FOLLOW Him, until the end.

Have you become one of His sheep? Do
you LISTEN to His voice and follow Him every day? Do you still have
the hope of eternal life?

May Jesus bless you.

INTERACTING WITH GOD

Many people believe in God and call themselves Christians but  they

have no interaction with God. Their faith is based on what others
have told them and on Bible scripture. They do not know the One in
whom they profess to believe. He is not real to them, Many believe in
Jesu s but they do not experience Him as ALIVE. They are doing
religion, a one sided exercise where they perform certain religious
acts. Their prayers are a monologue. They pray but do not experience
any interaction, no reply or clear direction. They assume and believe
many things from Bible verses and from what others have told them but
they do not experience clear direction from God. They do not have a
REAL relationship nor any INTERACTION with God'

God
is Holy. Sinful man is separated from God and has
no interaction nor fellowship with God. Sin
separates us from God.  We all have sinned and come short
of the glory of God. The wages
of sin is death . The only way that we can come into
the presence of God, have fellowship with Him and have life
is to have our sins removed.  

The
only One who can remove our sins is Jesus. Jesus took the sins
of the world on Him and paid the ultimate price by
dying on a cross. He became the perfect sacrifice because He had
no sin. After three  days He
was resurrected from death and He lives
for all eternity. All power and all authority has been given to
Him and He gives eternal life to those
who believe in Him, accept  Him and obey Him. He
takes away their sin by forgiving their past sin. He makes them
new inside, they are born-again to
become children of God.  Having been cleansed
from their past sins, they
are HOLY, just as He is holy and can come into the presence
of God  and have fellowship
with Him. 

Jesus
said to His disciples: 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.”…“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.” John
14:21-24 

If we accept Jesus,  love Him and obey Him,
He and the Father will  come and dwell with us, in us and
be with us, INTERACT with us. How
will this happen? We read in John
14:16
Jesus said to His disciples: “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. 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.” 

It
is only through obedience to Jesus that we
can have INTERACTION and FELLOWSHIP with God.  

God
has revealed Himself and continues to do so IN and through
Jesus. Jesus  said 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. 

Once
again , it is only through
obedience to Jesus that we can have INTERACTION with God. God
is SPIRIT.  The Holy Spirit,  which is the Spirit
of God will come and dwell in you if you OBEY Jesus
and STAY IN OBEDIENCE to Him.  

Disobedience
and sin SEPARATES you from God. Without holiness no one will see
the Lord. The KEY to INTERACTION and FELLOWSHIP  with
God is HOLINESS, which can only be attained through obedience
to Jesus, by ABIDING in Him,  living in obedience to
Him. His words and commandments were recorded in the
gospels, Matthew,  Mark, Luke  and John.  The
Holy Spirit,  the  Spirit of God, will
come and dwell in every one
who OBEYS  Jesus.  

Salvation
is to be brought into INTERACTION,
FELLOWSHIP with God. How then shall a
person be saved? Acts
2:38,39.  “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.” The Holy
Spirit will GUIDE, TEACH, COMFORT and stay with you, but
you have to OBEY Him or He will stop INTERACTING with you. 

Sin
and disobedience separates us from God. Sinners have no fellowship
nor INTERACTION with God. Sinning Christians are in danger
of hell fire. Without  holiness no one will see God. 

Jesus
is the WAY  the TRUTH  and  the  LIFE. Obey
and follow Him  in
holiness and you will have INTERACTION with God. You will
PRAY and He will answer. He will guide you in all things and teach
you His ways. Jesus is God.

Have
you come to know Jesus? Does His Spirit, the Holy Spirit, dwell in
you. Do you HEAR from Him and do you obey Him? 

May Jesus bless you.

SINNERS ARE EVIL AT HEART

People sin because they are evil, to

their core. Their heart is evil. Sinning Christians are EVIL, they
are sons of the devil. Jesus spoke to the religious people and
said:” 33“Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or
make the tree bad and its fruit bad; for the tree is known by its
fruit. 34“You brood of vipers, how can you, being evil, speak
what is good? For the mouth speaks out of that which fills the
heart. 35“The good man brings out of his good
treasure what is good; and the evil man brings out of his evil
treasure what is evil.” Matthew 12:33-35.

That which is in our heart determines
our words and our deeds. Sinners have evil in their hearts. You are
what you do. Sinners are EVIL PEOPLE. No sinners will enter heaven.

Jesus Christ SAVES FROM SIN. He makes
you NEW INSIDE, BORN AGAIN, if you ACCEPT Him, but then you have to
OBEY and FOLLOW Him, REPENT, STOP SINNING, SIN NO MORE. Be baptized
in water for the washing off of your sin. Then BE HOLY and Jesus will
give His Holy Spirit to come and dwell in you, but if you go back to
sin, the Holy Spirit will LEAVE YOU.

Keep your HEART pure, Do not allow evil
into your heart, because then you will do evil and be evil and you
will end up in hell. Do not allow your MIND to become contaminated
with LUST, SIN and EVIL because then you will do evil.

Evil comes into your heart through your
EYES and your EARS. Be careful what you watch with your eyes and what
you listen to because that is how satan comes into your heart.
Watching TV and movies, keeping company with worldly friends, opens
the door for evil to come into your heart, that will cause you to sin
and end up in hell.

The apostle James wrote these words in
James 4:1-9 “1What is the source of quarrels and conflicts among
you? Is not the source your pleasures that wage war in your
members? 2You lust and do not have; so you commit
murder. You are envious and cannot obtain; so you fight and
quarrel. You do not have because you do not ask. 3You ask and do
not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, so that you may
spend it on your pleasures. 4You adulteresses, do you
not know that friendship with the world is hostility toward God?
Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an
enemy of God. 5Or do you think that the Scripture speaks to no
purpose: “He jealously desires the Spirit which He has made to
dwell in us”? 6But He gives a greater grace.
Therefore it says, “GOD IS OPPOSED TO THE PROUD, BUT
GIVES GRACE TO THE HUMBLE.” 7Submit therefore to God. Resist
the devil and he will flee from you. 8Draw near to God and He
will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and PURIFY
YOUR HEARTS, you double-minded. 9Be miserable and mourn and
weep; let your laughter be turned into mourning and your joy to
gloom. 10Humble yourselves in the presence of the Lord, and He
will exalt you.”

Without holiness, no one will see the
Lord. No sinners will enter heaven. Our bodies are a temple for the
Holy Spirit, for Him to dwell in. If we allow evil in out hearts, the
Holy Spirit will leave us and we will be damned. We must keep our
hearts pure, and Jesus will be with us. His Spirit will guide us and
we will bear good fruit, we will NOT SIN.

May Jesus bless you.

FIGHT sATAN HE WANTS TO DESTROY YOU

satan wants to destroy you, now and for eternity. He wants you to

spend eternity in hell. The wages of sin is death. The soul that sins
will die. satan wants you to
keep on sinning because then you will end up in hell. Without
holiness no one shall see God. Those who do not live holy have
no communion with God. Their sin separates them from God.
As long as you are in sin you are powerless against satan, you
are in his power, being destroyed and on your way to hell. 

Jesus can
set you free from the bondage of sin and addictions, if you call
on Him, if you go on your knees  and pray, humble yourself
before Him, and ask Him. Jesus will forgive your past sin
and set you free, but the only way that you will be able to stay
free is if you stay with Jesus and obey Him. If you go back to
sin, you will be enslaved again.
Then you have delivered yourself back into the hands of satan and
you will be in a worse situation than before you called on
Jesus.  

If
you want to live, and have eternal life you have to stay with
Jesus and SIN NO MORE. Only Jesus
can give you eternal life but then you have to stay with
Him and obey Him. Obey His words, His
teachings and commandments as also recorded in Matthew,
Mark,  Luke  and  John.  REPENT of all
sin, every sin, immediately. If you sin again you will be back in the
hands of satan. One single sin, separates you from Jesus
and puts you in danger of hell fire. If you stumble and sin,
the Holy Spirit will immediately convict you. If
you immediately repent and ask Jesus forgiveness, He will forgive you
and your relationship with Him will  be restored, but if you
were careless, or deliberately sinned with the intention of
later asking forgiveness, then Jesus will not  forgive
you. Jesus is not fooled. He knows the intention of every heart.
Your sin will separate you from Jesus and put you back in the
power of satan. Unless you sincerely repent and plead
Jesus  forgiveness you will remain in the power
of satan and he
will destroy you. 

After
REPENTING, BE BAPTIZED IN WATER for the
forgiveness of your sins. That is what
Jesus commanded and that is what He requires of everyone who
wishes to follow Him  and have eternal life. Baptism of
the believer is an act of obedience, a public confession
of faith  and  a demonstration of your commitment
to follow Jesus and submit your life to Him. Without that
attitude and commitment, baptism is just a meaningless
ritual. That is why infant baptism
is not valid. An infant has no sin,
cannot repent, nor believe and commit to follow Jesus.  

The
whole world is in the power of the evil one,  satan.
Only those who stay with Jesus have the power to overcome sin
and evil, but they have to fight and resist the devil. They have
to resist temptation. If you live holy, you have confidence
to call on Jesus when you are tempted, and He will give you the
power to overcome, but if you live in sin, your  sin
separates you from Jesus and you are destroyed by satan. 

Be
holy, be righteous, do not yield to
temptation. Stand with Jesus, resist the devil and he will flee from
you. If you sin, you will burn. Keep
your mind on Jesus and on holiness. Do not give satan a
foothold. Avoid temptation. Run from sin. Do not keep
sinful company with worldly  friends. Stop
watching movies and TV that can contaminate your mind with lust
and worldliness. Corruption comes through lust.

Mind
what you watch and listen to. Stop following after
celebrities and famous people.  Stop trying to be like
them. Stop running after endless entertainment and pleasures of
the flesh. Stop reading and
absorbing fantasies. Stop living in a dream world. Open your
eyes and face reality. Life
is not a reality show or a soap opera. All those things are lies,
inspired by satan, to distract, deceive  and destroy
you. Be sober. Keep your mind and thoughts pure and holy.
Keep yourself busy with productive things. Don't waste your time on
social media and endless texting. You
cannot overcome satan by being
idle, hiding in a corner, or locking yourself up behind high walls.
If you run from satan he will
stab you in the back, he will get you  from behind. Neither will
you defeat him by compromising. Don't make friends with the devil.
Don't  listen to him. Don't get into discussions with him. You
have to be on the offensive, on the attack. Never
become complacent.  Never underestimate satan. He will
do all he can to get you to sin, because he knows, that if you
sin you are done, doomed and on your  way to hell.  

Remember,
one sin caused Adam to die. One sin caused Esau to lose his
first birth right, and even though he tried to repent, he
could never get it back. One sin is enough to cause you to end
up in hell for eternity. Don't let the devil get you. 

Get
your  focus on Jesus. Pray always, even in your mind. Ask Jesus
to fill your mind with His thoughts, guidance and wisdom. Ponder on
His words, His teachings and commandments. Jesus will
guide you and give you understanding and wisdom, if you
stay  focused on Him. He will guide you in every
aspect of your life. Without Jesus we cannot win. Without
Jesus you cannot defeat satan. Without Jesus you can do
nothing. 

May
Jesus bless you. 

HEAVEN IS NOT FOR COWARDS AND COMPROMISERS

The average Christian has no hope of

entering into heaven, because following Jesus is not for the
fainthearted. Anybody can believe in Jesus, but few are willing to
follow Him. You have to be brave and determined to follow Jesus and
stay with Him all the way until the end of your life. Most Christians
are wasting their time money and efforts, playing religion.

Salvation is not an easy matter as so
many believe. You are not saved and guaranteed eternal life by just
believing in Jesus and confessing your faith. Many confess that they
believe in Jesus, they preach, build churches, even have ministries
but they do not know nor follow Jesus. 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.

What is the will of the Father? What do
we have to do to enter the kingdom of heaven? We read in Matthew 17:5
a voice out of the cloud said, “This is My beloved Son, with whom I
am well-pleased; listen to Him!” Eternal life is for those who
LISTEN to Jesus and OBEY Him. Obeying Jesus comes at a cost, a cost
that few are willing to pay.

Jesus said: “If anyone wishes to
come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross and follow
Me. 25“For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it; but
whoever loses his life for My sake will find it. 26“For what
will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his
soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? 27“For
the Son of Man is going to come in the glory of His Father with His
angels, and WILL THEN REPAY EVERY MAN ACCORDING TO
HIS DEEDS.”Matthew 16:24-27.

There are no short cuts into heaven.
You have to obey and follow Jesus all the way. You must DO as He
commanded. Jesus said to 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. Jesus
said: ”teach them to observe ALL that I commanded you” not just
some of it.

You will have to be brave and
determined to follow Jesus. Repent, stop sinning. Remove sinful and
worldly things out of your life. Break up sinful relationships. Turn
away from sinful friends, your partners in crime. Stop fornicating,
adulterating, drinking, stop cursing, stop going after worldly
pleasures. Stop listening to worldly music and stop watching worldly
movies and TV shows. Get rid of your worldly brand clothing. Get rid
of your revealing clothing, your worldly trinkets, paraphernalia and
jewelry, makeup and false hairpieces. Stop defiling your body with
tattoos and other modifications. Stop following after celebrities and
famous people. Stop trying to be like them. Stop listening to
people and seeking their approval. Stop trying to fit in with the
world. Stop being a compromiser. STAND UP for truth and
righteousness. COME CLEAN.

Be baptized in water for the
forgiveness of your sin while calling on Jesus, and He will save you
from your sins. He will set you free. He will make you new so that
you will be born again, not a sinner any more.

Receive Jesus into your life and live
for Him and His kingdom. Invite Him into your life to live for Him.
He will come in and dwell in you with His Spirit, the Holy Spirit. He
will speak to you and guide you, but you must obey and follow Him.

It will cost you, all the way. You will
pay. Friends and family will reject you, if you repent and not go
along with them, indulging in worldliness and the pleasures of sin.
Your employer might fire you for not being a fun team player any
more. People, especially so called Christians, will reject you if
you are baptized in water. The churches of your parents and friends
will reject you for being different and for following Jesus rather
than being a church goer. You will not fit in anywhere any more.
You will be rejected, slandered, persecuted. The world hates
“straight" people, because the world is crooked and evil.
The world loves its own, it hates those who belong to Jesus.

You will become lonely. You will not
have many friends and you will have little fellowship, even with
Christians, because most of them are false, they do not follow Jesus.

Most Christians are COMPROMISERS. They
are Sunday Christians. They join the church show on Sunday. The rest
of the week they are no different from the world. They want to be
INCLUSIVE, and they go to worldly churches that are INCLUSIVE of sin,
sinners, and all the things that God hates and forbids. What they do
not understand is that they have disqualified themselves from heaven.

When you walk with Jesus, you will
walk alone, most of the time. That is why you have to be brave. But
you will never be without company and fellowship because Jesus will
never leave you, nor forsake you. He will always be with you. He will
guide you and take care of you. At times He will carry you.

If you go with friends, sin and the
world, Jesus will not go with you. You will be heading to
destruction.

Turn to Jesus. Be brave, be
determined. Obey and follow Him until the end. Jesus is the only way
to eternal life. Without Jesus we can do nothing. Without Jesus you
are lost.

May Jesus bless you.

CHURCH WANTS TO MANAGE YOU

Churches only have one objective, and

that is to manage you. They first want to get you under their control
by deceiving you into believing in them. People believe that church
is the way to heaven, that the church can save them from hell, as
long as they belong to a church. For thousands of years people have
been brainwashed to go to church.

Churches ordain their own officials and
lead people to believe that the church official, the priest, or
pastor or leader of the church, can speak to God for them. People
believe in the church and not in Jesus.

They believe in the priests and
pastors, they follow and obey them but do not obey Jesus.

Churches make up their own doctrines
which they preach and use to deceive people. To the deceived church
members, the doctrines of the church are above the words of Jesus.
The opinions of the church leaders are more important to them that
the words of Jesus. They believe that the church leaders and
preachers speak to and hear from God.

Churches are all about power, control
and MONEY.

All churches are man made
organizations.

No church or other person on earth can
speak to God for you or can forgive your sins. No money can pay for
your salvation.

Only Jesus can save you and give you
eternal life, but you have to obey Him. Repent, turn from sin, stop
sinning, be baptized in water for the forgiveness of your sin, while
calling on Jesus. Jesus will answer you, forgive your past sins and
give you peace in your heart. Then SIN NO MORE.

Seek Jesus with all your heart and live
according to His teachings and commands as recorded in Matthew, Mark,
Luke and John. Jesus will reveal Himself to you. He will speak to you
and guide you. If you stay with Him, live holy and obey Him until the
end of your life, you will have eternal life.

Run from churches. Run to Jesus. The
only One who can help and save you is Jesus. All you need is Jesus.
Seek Him and you will find Him.

May Jesus bless you.

DO NOT EXCUSE YOURSELF

Many Christians are always looking for

excuses for sin and sinfulness. They are disqualifying themselves for
the kingdom of God. Sinners will not have eternal life. Without
holiness no one will see God.

Professional athletes subject
themselves to strict diets and rigorous training programs to be
competitive. They do not allow themselves to indulge in anything,
however tempting it might be, that can affect their performance.
They take utmost care to compete in such a way that they will win the
race. They abide by the rules and they mind their steps that they
might not stumble or hurt themselves, because that will disqualify
them. They do not look for, neither do they make excuses because
they know that they will only have themselves to blame if they do not
win the race and get the prize.

Sinners are losers. Sin separates you
from God. Sin disqualifies you for the kingdom of God, even one lie,
a “white “ lie, will soil your garment, and prevent you from
entering heaven. There is no excuse for sin.

Repent, stop sinning, be baptized in
water for the forgiveness of your sin. Be holy. Sin no more. Follow
Jesus until the end and He will give you eternal life. Obey His
teachings and commandments as recorded in Matthew, Mark, Luke and
John. Ask Him for His Holy Spirit to come and dwell in you and be
with you to guide you into all truth.

Do not look for
excuses. Do not sin. You will only have yourself to blame if you miss
heaven and spend eternity in hell.

May Jesus bless you.
