SALVATION IS ABOUT OBEDIENCE


The only way to have eternal life is
through faith in and obedience to Jesus Christ. “He
who believes in the Son has eternal life; but he who does not obey
the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him.”
John 3:36.
Faith alone, cannot save. Jesus gives
eternal life to those who obey Him. The words that Jesus spoke, His
commandments, as they were also recorded in Matthew, Mark, Luke and
John, are the words of eternal life to those who obey Him. Jesus
preached the sermon on the mount as we read it in Matthew chapters 5
to 7. At the end of His sermon he 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.
Those who believe in Jesus and therefor
receive Him can be come children of God. We read in John 1:12 “But
as many as received Him, He gave to them authority to be children of
God--to those believing in His name,” Those who receive Jesus obey
His words, repent and are baptized, and are born again. He give His
Holy Spirit in them. They become His sheep who follow and obey 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. The key to
salvation is obedience. His sheep follow and obey Him and He gives
them eternal life.
Jesus Christ, “Although
He was a Son, He learned obedience from the things which He
suffered.  And having been made perfect, He became to all those
who obey Him the source of eternal salvation,” Hebrews 5:8,9. All
those who follow Jesus will learn obedience through suffering.
Suffering is required to learn obedience and work holiness in those
who follow Jesus.
Through suffering
they will learn faith and be purified, if they stay with Jesus and do
not turn from Him when they have to suffer for their faith and
devotion to Him. We read in 1 Peter 4:1 “Therefore, since Christ
has suffered in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same purpose,
because he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin.”
Following Jesus is not easy. We will be
tested. Our devotion and obedience will be tested. If we deny Jesus,
He will also deny us. If we disobey Him, He will discipline us to
teach us obedience. That discipline will often come through
suffering. We must endure the discipline and suffering and so learn
obedience. We must not cave in and turn from Jesus when He
disciplines us.
We read in Hebrews 12:4-12 “You have
not yet resisted to the point of shedding blood in your striving
against sin;
5and
you have forgotten the exhortation which is addressed to you as
sons,“MY SON, DO NOT REGARD LIGHTLY THE DISCIPLINE OF
THE LORD,
NOR FAINT WHEN YOU ARE REPROVED BY HIM;
6FOR
THOSE WHOM THE LORD LOVES HE DISCIPLINES,
AND HE
SCOURGES EVERY SON WHOM HE RECEIVES.”
7It
is for discipline that you endure; God deals with you as with sons;
for what son is there whom his father does not discipline? 8But
if you are without discipline, of which all have become partakers,
then you are illegitimate children and not sons. 9Furthermore,
we had earthly fathers to discipline us, and we respected them; shall
we not much rather be subject to the Father of spirits, and
live? 10For
they disciplined us for a short time as seemed best to them, but
He disciplines us for our good, so that we may
share His holiness. 11All
discipline for the moment seems not to be joyful, but sorrowful; yet
to those who have been trained by it, afterwards it yields the
peaceful fruit of righteousness.
12Therefore,
strengthen the hands that are weak and the knees that are
feeble, 13and
make straight paths for your feet, so that the limb which
is lame may not be put out of joint, but rather be healed.”
Through obedience to Jesus we are transformed
into obedient children of God, in the likeness of Jesus so that we
can be fit to receive the prize of eternal life at the end of our
journey, if we endure and stay with Him until the end.
May Jesus bless
you.

YOU MUST BE BORN AGAIN What it means


You cannot educate a slave into royalty because he was born a slave and
even if you put him in a palace he will still be a slave because in
his heart he is a slave. You cannot educate a sinner and make him a
child of God because he was born into the slavery of sin. Jesus said
that he who sins is a slave of sin. You need to be BORN AGAIN, you
need to be BORN INTO ROYALTY, you need to be BORN INTO THE KINGDOM OF
GOD or else, AT HEART YOU WILL ALWAYS REMAIN A SLAVE OF SIN. You
cannot educate a person to be a child of God, he needs to be born
again and that is what Jesus meant when He said to Nicodemus, as it
is written in John 3:3-8 "Jesus answered and said to him,
"Truly, truly, I say to you, UNLESS ONE IS BORN AGAIN HE CANNOT
SEE THE KINGDOM OF GOD." 4Nicodemus said to Him, "How can a
man be born when he is old? He cannot enter a second time into his
mother's womb and be born, can he?" 5Jesus answered,
"Truly, truly, I say to you, UNLESS ONE IS BORN OF WATER AND THE
SPIRIT HE CANNOT ENTER INTO THE KINGDOM OF GOD. 6"That
which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the
Spirit is spirit. 7"Do not be amazed that I said to you,
'You must be born again.' 8"The wind blows where it wishes
and you hear the sound of it, but do not know where it comes from and
where it is going; so is everyone who is born of the Spirit." A
person who is born again of the Spirit of God IS A NEW MAN. The world
does not understand him and that is why Jesus said he is like the
wind, you don't know where it comes from and where it is going next
because that person is led by the Spirit of God. He can see the
kingdom of God. If you are not born again you cannot visualize, you
cannot understand the kingdom of God, you are not of the kingdom of
God, you are not royalty, YOU ARE A SINNER. You need to be BORN
AGAIN! He who is in Christ is a NEW MAN, the old things have passed
away, HE IS NOT A SLAVE OF SIN ANY MORE, he is royalty, he is a child
of God, HE IS A SAINT. Have you been born again? Do you want to be
born again and become a child of God? Then you must REPENT, you must
FALL ON YOUR KNEES AND CRY OUT TO JESUS. Say:"Lord, I want You
to be my Lord and Master. I don't want to be a slave of sin any more!
Please set me free from the bondage of sin! I don't want to live the
life of a sinner any more! I want to be a child of God!" Jesus
will set you free. He will forgive your past sins and He will set you
free from the bondage of sin and addiction. He will make you royalty,
He will make you born again! He will make you a child of God, and
then you have to go and bury the old man, you must go and be baptized
in water so that the old man of sin can be buried under the water and
out of it comes a new man, a new creature in Christ and then you ask
Him to baptize you in the HOLY SPIRIT, to FILL YOU WITH THE SPIRIT OF
CHRIST! If you do not have the Spirit of Christ, you do not belong to
Him. If you are in Christ you are NEW! You are not of the world any
more, you are a different person. You cannot help but be a witness
for Jesus because you are filled with the Spirit of God! Have you
been born again? Or have you just been educated? It is not about
education, it is about REGENERATION. Have you been regenerated? Are
you NEW INSIDE? Ask Jesus for the NEW BIRTH and He will change you
inside, HE WILL MAKE YOU ROYALTY, He will make you a child of God.
YOU must be born again to enter the kingdom of Heaven.
May
Jesus bless you.

GET YOUR FOCUS ON JESUS


Without Jesus we can do nothing.
Without Jesus we have no power against satan and against sin. Without
Jesus we are defenseless and doomed to failure. Without Jesus we have
no direction, no hope of the future. Without Jesus, there is no hope
of eternal life.
Christian believers are defeated and
powerless because they are not focused on Jesus. With Jesus all
things are possible. Peter walked on water, while he was focused on
Jesus but when he looked around him at the storm the waves, he began
to sink, “he cried out, “Lord, save me!” Immediately Jesus
stretched out His hand and took hold of him, and said to him, “You
of little faith, why did you doubt?” Matthew 14:30,31. The
moment we take our eyes off Jesus, we are defeated.
Jesus said: ”All things are possible
to him who believes.” Mark 9:23. Jesus also said: ”I say to you,
if you have faith as a mustard seed, you shall say to this mountain,
‘Move from here to there,’ and it shall move; and nothing shall
be impossible to you.” Matthew 17:20.
As long as we stay focused on Jesus and
we believe, trust in Him, all things are possible. The apostle Paul
said: ”I can do all things through Him who strengthens me.”
Philippians 4:13. We must not allow ourselves to be distracted from
Jesus, by other people, the desires of the flesh and sin. We cannot
walk in the power of God if we are watching TV, running after the
pleasures of the world, seeking the acceptance of people and partying
with the world. We must be men and women of God, focused on Jesus and
on doing His will.
Jesus said: “If you abide in Me, and
My words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for
you. 8“My Father is glorified by this, that you bear much
fruit, and so prove to be My disciples. 9“Just as
the Father has loved Me, I have also loved you; abide in My
love. 10“If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My
love; just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His
love. 11“These things I have spoken to you so that My joy may
be in you, and that your joy may be made full.” John
15:7-11.
The power of Jesus will only be in us
if we walk and live in obedience to Him, in holiness and
righteousness seeking to do His will, not our own. We can only have
confidence and faith when we do what is pleasing to Him and fully
trust in Him.
Repent of all sin and worldliness and
dedicate yourself fully to Jesus. Do not allow yourself to be
distracted by anything. Walk with Jesus and stay focused on Him or
you will be defenseless, destroyed by satan. Submit yourself to
Jesus, resist the devil and he will flee from you. There is victory
in Jesus, if we stay with Him and stay focused on Him.
May Jesus bless you.

NOWHERE ELSE TO GO


There is only one person who can give eternal life, and that is Jesus
Christ. Nobody else can save you from hell and damnation. There is
only one person who can forgive your sins and make you free from the
bondage of sin, and that is Jesus. Without Jesus, we can do nothing.
All power and all authority, in heaven and on earth, belongs to
Jesus. Without Jesus we have no hope, no future, no life. The only
safe place to be, is to be with Jesus and to stay with Him all the
way until the end.
Why
is it then that people do not go to Jesus and do not stay with Him?
There are various reasons. Many have never been told. Others did not
believe. Many have been deceived and told that they only need to
believe in Jesus to have eternal life. They are deceived and have a
false belief and hope of eternal life. Others do not experience Jesus
as real, because they never really met Him. They do not know Him.
Jesus
Christ is alive and He discloses Himself to those who seek Him and
obey His words. His sheep HEAR His voice, and they follow Him and He
gives them eternal life, but not all believers are His sheep. It is
only those who have come to know Him.
Jesus
only becomes a reality in your life if you OBEY Him, His words and
His commandments, as they were also recorded in the gospels, Matthew,
Mark, Luke and John. Those who disobey Him will not get to know Him.
The gospel of Jesus Christ is about REPENTANCE, turning away from
sin, to STOP SINNING and go after Jesus, be baptized for the washing
off of your sin and thereafter to SIN NO MORE. Many believers do not
know Jesus because they never repented. They are living in sin and
they are on their way to hell. We read in 1 John 3:5-10 “You 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.”
You cannot be in sin
and with Jesus. Sinning Christians are not with Jesus, they are
following after satan. Most modern day Christians never repented and
most of those who did, have gone back to sin. Their sin separates
them from Jesus. If they do not repent of their sins and go back to
Jesus they will end up in hell. It is not the will of God that any
perish, but that all repent, live holy and have eternal life.
Believers keep on
living in sin and think God will not judge them.
Believers who do not
repent of sin and return to Jesus and bear good fruit will get cut
off and burned. They will end up in hell. There is no other option,
no other hope but to return to Jesus and follow Him.
Many have strayed.
Many are on the broad road that leads to destruction, It is not the
will of God that they perish. God has no pleasure in the death of a
sinner, but rather that they repent and have life. Jesus will never
reject a sinner that repents. Jesus never changes. He loves and
cares for us.
Many believe that
they have committed the unpardonable sin. Satan is telling them that
Jesus will not take them back. He is a liar and a deceiver and will
do anything to keep you from returning to Jesus. Do not believe him.
Repent and turn to Jesus. Where else can you go? Only Jesus can help
us and He will welcome you with open arms if you return to Him. Don’t
go to other people. Don’t look for Bible scriptures. Go to Jesus.
Repent, from the heart, with remorse over your sin. Plead Him to
forgive you. Be serious and stop sinning. Cut the sins out of your
life. Clean up your life and Jesus will accept you.
Do not delay. Do not
let anything stop or distract you. Today might be your last day and
last opportunity to return to Jesus. Go to Jesus and stay with Him
until the end.
May Jesus bless you.

NO REPENTANCE NO SALVATION


This generation of Christians was never
taught to repent. False preachers told them that they only need to
believe in Jesus to have eternal life. They were taught to admit that
they are sinners, but were not told to turn away from sin, to stop
sinning. They believe a false gospel that is not the gospel of Jesus
Christ.
The wages of sin is death. As long as
you keep on sinning you are damned and on your way to hell. Jesus
came to take away the sins of the world. He pardons those who accept
Him as Lord and obey Him, His words and commandments as also recorded
in Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, which is the true gospel.
Jesus commanded His disciples to: “Go
into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. 
16“He
who has believed and has been baptized shall be saved; but he who has
disbelieved shall be condemned.” Mark 16:15,16.
The gospel of Jesus Christ is about
repentance, holiness and obedience to Jesus. Unless a person repents,
stops sinning and lives holy, he cannot follow Jesus neither enter
the kingdom of God. It all starts with repentance.
Most professing
Christians never repented. They believe they are saved based on the
false grace gospel and other deceptive teachings of men. They ignore
or deliberately forget the words of Jesus while they choose to
believe lies and false doctrines. They disbelieve the words of the
apostle John in 1 John 3:4-10 “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.”
No
sinners will enter heaven. Without holiness no one will see the Lord.
99.9% of the modern day Christians are on their way to hell, because
they are sinners. They never repented, and by their deeds they prove
to be children of the devil.
There
is only one way to be saved: Repent and be baptized, stop sinning, be
holy, live in obedience to the teachings and commandments of Jesus.
If you obey Him, He will give His Holy Spirit in you to teach and
guide you into all truth. If you follow and obey Him, until the end,
you will have eternal life. If along the way, you stray and fall into
sin, immediately repent and go back to Jesus, stay with Him until the
end, or it would have been all in vain.


May
Jesus bless you.

JESUS WILL SPEW YOU OUT CUT YOU OFF


Jesus does not need any halfhearted
followers. Neither did He ever beg anyone to follow Him. He did
however warn those who wanted to follow Him to count the cost before
deciding to do so. He did not offer anybody a free or easy passage
into heaven. He warned that those who disobey Him will not enter
heaven. He laid out the conditions and cost of following Him very
clearly. He only promised eternal life to His sheep, those who listen
to His voice and follow Him until the end.
Jesus warned that every branch in Him,
that does not bear fruit will get cut off and burned. Every born
again child of God that does not stay with Jesus, follow Him every
day and bear fruit, for the kingdom of God, will get cut off and
burned, will end up in hell. We read in John 15:5,6. “I
am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me and I in him,
he bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing. 
6“If
anyone does not abide in Me, he is thrown away as a branch and dries
up; and they gather them, and cast them into the fire and they are
burned.”
Many
refuse to serve Jesus they are unholy and are not working for Him,
not witnessing for Him. He gave this warning in Revelation 3:16-22:
“‘I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot; I wish
that you were cold or hot. 
16‘So
because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you
out of My mouth. 
17‘Because
you say, “I am rich, and have become wealthy, and have need of
nothing,” and you do not know that you are wretched and miserable
and poor and blind and naked, 
18I
advise you to buy from Me gold refined by fire so that you may become
rich, and white garments so that you may clothe yourself,
and 
that the
shame of your nakedness will not be revealed; and eye salve to anoint
your eyes so that you may see.
19‘Those
whom I love, I reprove and discipline; therefore be zealous and
repent. 
20‘Behold,
I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears My voice and opens the
door, I will come in to him and will dine with him, and he with
Me. 
21‘He
who overcomes, I will grant to him to sit down with Me on My throne,
as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne. 
22‘He
who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.”
Jesus
does not tolerate disobedience and unfruitfulness. Those who disobey
Him and refuse to serve Him are not worthy of Him and His kingdom. We
read in Hebrews 10:30 “For we know Him who said, “V
ENGEANCE
IS
 MINE,
WILL
REPAY
.”
And again, “T
HE LORD
WILL JUDGE
 HIS
PEOPLE
.” 31It
is a terrifying thing to fall into the hands of the living God.”
The
apostle Peter wrote in 1 Peter 4:17,18 “For 
it
is
 time
for judgment to begin with the household of God; and if 
it begins
with
us first, what 
will
be
 the
outcome for those who do not obey the gospel of God? 
18AND
IF IT IS WITH DIFFICULTY THAT THE RIGHTEOUS IS SAVED
WHAT
WILL BECOME OF THE
 GODLESS
MAN AND THE SINNER
?”
Jesus
does not tolerate those who are lukewarm and fruitless. If they do
not repent, He will spew them out and cut them off. Are we eagerly
working for the kingdom of God and bearing fruit or are we close to
being terminated?
May
Jesus bless you.

BECOMING ONE WITH JESUS


Many Christians have the notion that if
they accept Jesus He becomes their personal guardian and servant who
will empower them to reach their potential and achieve their personal
goals. They are totally deceived and mistaken. Jesus Christ is Lord.
The kingdom of heaven is about Him, not about you. If you want to
follow Jesus and have eternal life you have to deny yourself, die to
your own ambitions and to the pleasures of sin, become one spirit
with Him and live your life for Him and His kingdom, submitting
yourself to Him and doing His will in all things.
You have to become His sheep. Sheep are
not very intelligent, individualistic, ambitious, nor resourceful.
Jesus said: ”My
sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me;  and 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 many
Christians are His sheep, because they do not hear His voice, nor
follow Him.
They follow other people, churches,
preachers, the world and their own mind. Yet they believe they will
have eternal life. They are only deceiving themselves.
Eternal life depends on our oneness
with Jesus. Jesus explained this in John 15:1-11. “I
am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. 
2“Every
branch in Me that does not bear fruit, He takes away; and
every 
branch that
bears fruit, He prunes it so that it may bear more fruit. 
3“You
are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to
you. 
4“Abide
in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless
it abides in the vine, so neither 
can
you
unless you abide in Me. 
5“I
am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me and I in him,
he bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing. 
6“If
anyone does not abide in Me, he is thrown away as a branch and dries
up; and they gather them, and cast them into the fire and they are
burned. 
7“If
you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ask whatever you wish,
and it will be done for you. 
8“My
Father is glorified by this, that you bear much fruit, and 
so prove
to be My disciples. 
9“Just
as the Father has loved Me, I have also loved you; abide in My
love. 
10“If
you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love; just as I have
kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love. 
11“These
things I have spoken to you so that My joy may be in you,
and 
that your
joy may be made full.”
Our
fruit flows from our obedience to Jesus, firstly our obedience to His
commandments, the words that He spoke and taught, as also recorded in
Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. If we obey His words, repent and are
baptized, live holy, according to His commandments, He will disclose
Himself to us, make His Spirit, the Holy Spirit, to dwell in us, to
teach and guide us, to send and use us to do His will as He leads us
every day, not after our own initiative or plans, but after His
guidance and direction. We can read in the book of Acts how the
apostles were led by the Holy Spirit. Without Jesus we can do
nothing, we cannot bear fruit, but we must be dedicated, committed,
available and tuned in to His Holy Spirit, to be used by Him, to do
His will.
Many
professing Christians are preaching, casting out demons, operating
ministries, building churches all on their own initiative. They are
busy with dead religious practices. Churches is big money and big
business and many are using the gospel and the Bible to enrich
themselves. They do not know Jesus, neither are they following Him.
They are not led by the Holy Spirit. Jesus spoke about those when He
said: “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
 MEYOU
WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS
.’
Matthew 7:21-23. Most preachers today, do not know Jesus. Their
ministry is just a job. They work for a church and they get paid a
salary. They do not follow Jesus Christ, neither are they part of His
kingdom.
We
have to become ONE with Jesus through our relationship with Him,
being led by the Holy Spirit, in order to do His will and be part of
His kingdom.
How
real is your relationship with Jesus? Are you one of His sheep? Do
you hear His voice and do you follow Him? Are you grafted into the
true vine and are you bearing fruit through your obedience to Him?
Are you ONE with Jesus?
May
Jesus bless you.

YOUR SALVATION IS ALL IN YOUR HANDS


A few nights ago, I heard the Holy
Spirit say to me the word “proxy.” I knew the meaning of the word
but could not understand why the Lord spoke this word to me. I prayed
but did not receive an answer. This is a word not often used. Then a
friend of mine commented on one of my postings saying that you cannot
fly an aircraft by proxy. Also, you cannot follow Jesus by proxy.
Nobody else can do it for you. You have to do it yourself, you have
to control the aircraft and fly it all the way from take-off to
landing. Once you go solo, you are the only captain on board. Whether
you fly and land at your destination depends entirely on you, how you
handle the aircraft and whether you safely land it. It all depends on
you, your skills and execution.
Many private pilots get killed every
year. Many skilled and accomplished pilots get killed. It is
dangerous to fly private aircraft. I used to fly in Africa for many
years, into remote places. You have to do everything right or you
will kill yourself. Some do everything right and still get killed.
You are out there on your own and your flight safety as well as that
of those on board with you depends entirely on you. I was not the
best pilot that I knew, but I survived many fatal situations. Things
can go very wrong very quickly. The weather can change, your aircraft
engine can fail. Quite a few excellent pilots, that I knew killed
themselves in aircraft accidents. I should have been killed quite a
few times but I survived. I did not survive because I was such a good
pilot, but rather because Jesus kept me alive. There were many times
that I was in dire situations, where I called out to the Lord and He
brought me through, to make a safe landing.
Here is the
lesson. In our walk with Jesus, we are the ones in control. It
depends on you, whether you will reach your destination. Nobody else
can do it for you, but without Jesus, you will not make it. It does
not matter how skilled and proficient you are, without Jesus, you
will not make it. When you are up in the air, with howling winds,
lightning and thunder, being tossed around like a leaf, you call on
Jesus, and when He opens a small path through the thick clouds to the
place of safe landing, you know He saved you, and you know that
without Jesus you will not make it into heaven. You have to take
control, nobody else can do it for you, but without Jesus, we will
not make it.
Are you following Jesus? Are you
flying, and is Jesus with you? If you stay on the ground, you will
not make it to your destination.
May Jesus bless you.

YOU ARE DECEIVED


You are deceived, you have been deceived all your life, and you are being
deceived right now, by other people, the media, academia, the church,
every avenue of life. That is true for all of us. We have been lied
to and been brainwashed. The whole world is in the power of the evil
one, through lies and disinformation. We are held captive through
lies. It is written: ”You will know the truth and the truth will
set you free.” How then shall we get to know the truth and no
longer be deceived? Jesus Christ, is the way, the life and the truth.
If
we know Jesus, listen to, trust and obey Him, He will tell us the
truth. How will we get to know Jesus, how will He speak to us and
tell us the truth?
You
get to know Jesus by calling on Him, humbling yourself before Him, in
prayer, asking Him to come into your life and teach you the truth.
Obey Jesus, His words, as also recorded in Matthew, Mark, Luke and
John, the red letter words, in some Bibles. Repent, stop sinning, be
baptized in water, as Jesus commanded, sin no more. Live according to
the words of Jesus, and He will disclose Himself to you, He will
reveal Himself to you, He will make His Spirit, the Holy Spirit,
which is the Spirit of Truth, to come and dwell in you, to teach and
guide you into all truth. He will speak to you, He will guide you in
all things, if you listen to Him, trust Him and obey Him. Jesus said:
”My sheep HEAR My voice, they LISTEN to Me, and the follow Me, and
I give them eternal life.”
If
you keep on trusting the media and the things that you have learned
and heard in the past, you will stay ignorant and deceived. Come to
Jesus and let Him guide and teach you, and reveal to you all the
deception and lies that you were taught and still believe. Do not
believe a thing that you hear. Trust nobody, only Jesus. Ask Him, let
Him teach, guide and correct you, and you will walk in truth.
Are
you ready to trust Jesus, follow Him and no longer be deceived by
lies, ignorance and brainwashing that is in the world? Then come to
Jesus and stay close to Him, obey and follow Him. Above all, trust
Him and you will walk in the LIGHT. You will no longer be in
darkness.
May
Jesus bless you.

ONLY ONE PERSON GIVES ETERNAL LIFE


There is only one Person who can give
eternal life. That is Jesus. He will decide who goes into heaven and
who goes into hell. Call on Jesus and He will answer you. He is alive
and He speaks. His sheep HEAR His voice, they follow Him and He gives
them eternal life.
There is no formula or method or special
prayers that can give eternal life. Jesus gives eternal life to those
who believe in Him and therefor accept Him, call on Him, obey and
follow Him. The words of Jesus, as also recorded in Matthew, Mark,
Luke and John, are the words of eternal life, for those who obey Him.
Those who disobey and disregard Him, will perish.
If you want
eternal life, come to Jesus. Call out to Him in prayer, humble
yourself before Him, repent of your sins, plead His forgiveness, stop
sinning. Be baptized in water for the washing off of your sin. Live
your life in obedience to the words and commandments of Jesus, as
recorded in Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Jesus will disclose Himself
to you, reveal Himself to you. He will make His Holy Spirit to dwell
in you, to teach and guide you in all things. Stay with Him, live
your life for Him and in obedience to Him, until the end, and He will
give you eternal life.
May Jesus bless you.

MEN OF GOD ARE TAUGHT BY GOD


We are all born with a conscience. God
has written His laws in our hearts, so that we all know right from
wrong. The Holy Spirit also convicts the whole world of sin,
righteousness and judgment. Nobody will have any excuse on judgment
day, when all men will be judged by their deeds. People choose to
follow after their own minds, not to listen to and obey their
conscience. They disregard the conviction of the Holy Spirit, keep on
sinning, and so they perish in their sin, because the wages of sin is
death.
Only Jesus Christ can take away the guilt of our past sin,
if we accept and obey Him, repent of our sin and sin no more. Jesus
gives eternal life, to those who follow and obey Him. Those who
reject and  disobey Him, will perish.
Only Jesus can give us
eternal life, but then we have to follow and obey Him and be taught
by Him. Jesus alone, is the way, the truth and the life.
If we
follow after our own sinful desires and after other people we will
perish. We have to turn from sin, turn from following out own
desires, turn from following other people, and follow Jesus. Jesus
will teach and guide us, if we accept Him, turn to Him and follow
Him. If we stay with Him and obey Him until the end of our lives, He
will give us eternal life.
Most Christians never get past the
elementary principles of following Jesus, and the vast majority are
never taught by Him. They never grow into a mature relationship with
Jesus, where they know Him, follow Him and are taught by Him. They
become religious, become church members who serve a church and follow
after men and women.  They are just Christians in name. They are
taught by men, not by God.
All men of God throughout
history, and in the Bible, were taught by God. Moses, Samuel and the
prophets, the disciples of Jesus, and the apostles. Paul was taught
by God. We read in Romans 8:14 "For all who are being led by the
Spirit of God, these are sons of God."
Those who are of God,
listen to Him, and they hear His voice. They listen to their
conscience. They take heed to the conviction of the Holy Spirit. They
accept Jesus and obey His teachings and commandments, as recorded in
Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Jesus comes and dwells with them,
discloses Himself to them and gives His Holy Spirit in them to teach
and guide them into all truth. They are taught by God.
They hear
from God because they seek Him and listen to Him. Their reference and
guidance is not from other people, or from the Bible, or from other
men of God. They pray and wait on Jesus for answers and guidance.
Many people have received wrong guidance from the Bible, because they
listened to satan and not to Jesus. satan used Bible scripture to
tempt Jesus. Many were destroyed and killed because they took advice
from men of God, and not from God Himself.
If you want to have
eternal life you have to be taught by God. You have to LISTEN and
HEAR from Jesus, follow and obey Him. If you don't you will be led
astray and destroyed.
Do you want LIFE? Then follow Jesus. Be
taught by Him. Seek Him, and you will find Him. Draw closer to Him
and He will draw closer to you. Be taught by God.
May Jesus bless
you.

THE BIGGEST DECEPTION IS IN THE CHURCH


The biggest deception is in the church
and satans biggest tool of deception is the Bible. satan is the
father of lies and he is the master deceiver, that is why he does his
most damaging work where it would be least expected, in churches.
Just like he used the Scriptures to tempt Jesus, he most successfully
uses the Bible to deceive Christians.
The vast majority of
churches preach false doctrines, twisting Bible scripture and adding
their own doctrines to mislead the believers, promising them
salvation based on lies and falsehoods. The bigger the church, and
the more famous the preacher, the bigger the deception. The true
gospel of Jesus Christ does not have many followers.
The modern
Bible has 66 books and many chapters, but it is only a small part of
the Book that leads to eternal life, and that is the words of Jesus
Christ, as also recorded in Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. The Old
Testament leads up to the coming of Jesus, who preached the kingdom
of God. The apostles, in the New Testament, preached the gospel of
the kingdom, the words of Jesus.
The words of Jesus are
SPIRIT and they are LIFE. They lead those who obey them to eternal
life. That is why the words of Jesus are not preached in most
churches. When they are preached, they are softened, down played and
made less important, while the false doctrines of men are emphasized.
Jesus warned the pharisees: "BUT IN VAIN DO THEY WORSHIP ME,
TEACHING AS DOCTRINES THE COMMANDMENTS OF OF MEN." Matthew
15:9.
Most churches disregard the words of Jesus. Some teach that
water baptism is not necessary, disobeying the commands of Jesus.
Others baptize infants, which is an invalid practice. Baptism only
follows repentance and confession of faith in Jesus, which an infant
cannot do.
If we do not even obey Jesus in the least, how shall we
obey Him in greater things. Many churches preach that it is
impossible to stop sinning, which is a doctrine of satan. They preach
a false grace gospel, based on twisting the words of the apostle
Paul. Believers foolishly run after these false preachers and
deceivers, blind leaders of the blind, leading them to a certain
destruction. 
Church members follow after their
church, not after Jesus. They uphold the teachings and doctrines of
the churches, which are a mixture of Bible scripture and the rules of
men, rather than the words and commandments of Jesus. They are
religious bigots, not followers of Jesus. That is why they will
perish. They have been deceived by satan through false church
doctrines and twisted Bible scripture.
Jesus Christ alone is the
WAY, the LIFE and the TRUTH. Obey His words, repent and be baptized,
live according to His commandments, as recorded in Matthew, Mark,
Luke and John. Get out of church, stop following men. Follow Jesus
and He will give you eternal life.
May Jesus bless you.

ALL OUT OF LOVE


The reason why anyone would follow
Jesus, is out of love. That is why so very few do follow Him. Many
say that they do love Jesus, but their love is not  real because
they do not obey Him.  Jesus said: "If you love Me, you
will keep My commandments." John 14:15. The commandments of
Jesus are His words and teachings, as also recorded in Matthew, Mark,
Luke and John.
Jesus said:“He who loves father or mother more
than Me is not worthy of Me; and he who loves son or daughter more
than Me is not worthy of Me. 38“And he who does not take his cross
and follow after Me is not worthy of Me. 39“He who has found his
life will lose it, and he who has lost his life for My sake will find
it."Matthew 10:37-39. If we regard any person or anything more
than Jesus, then we love those things more than Him.
Love is not
words and emotion, it is action.
If we love Jesus we will
gladly do what He commanded, and we will seek in everything to please
Him. If we love Him, we will be thinking about Him, talking about
Him, and testifying about Him.
If we love Jesus, we will be
seeking His approval, praying, seeking His guidance, listening to
Him, following and obeying Him. We will be living for Him and His
kingdom.
Do we really love Jesus?
May Jesus bless you.

NOT ALL GOD'S CHILDREN WILL ENTER HEAVEN


When a sinner hears the gospel of Jesus
Christ, accepts Him and is born again, he becomes a child of God. His
past sins are forgiven and he is accepted into the household of God.
However, that does not mean that he will stay there. Many accept
Jesus, but do not go on to follow and obey Him. They believe they are
saved, but they go back to sin. Some serve Jesus for a while and then
turn away from Him, like the prodigal son. They go and do the most
heinous sins. They are still God's children, but they are lost, dead
in sin. If they should die in that condition, they will go into
hell.
We read in the parable of the prodigal son, the father said:
"For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and
is found." Luke 15:24.
Not all God's children will enter
heaven, only those who serve and obey Him. Those who keep on sinning
will perish. The wages of sin is death.
God will reward every man,
both believers and unbelievers, according to their deeds.
Many
Christians are living in sin and believe that Jesus died in their
place, for their sins and that they will be pardoned because they
believe in Jesus and are children of God. They are deceived. We read
in Romans 2:4-11. "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."
Not only do we
have to live holy, but we have to work for the kingdom of God. We
have to bear fruit, multiply and bring others to Jesus. Many have
repented and are living holy but they are unfruitful for the kingdom
of God. They are not building onto the kingdom of God. Many are
building their own churches, making religious converts, not disciples
of Jesus Christ. We read in 1 Corinthians 3:11 "For no man can
lay a foundation other than the one which is laid, which is Jesus
Christ. 12Now if any man builds on the foundation with gold, silver,
precious stones, wood, hay, straw, 13each man’s work will become
evident; for the day will show it because it is to be revealed with
fire, and the fire itself will test the quality of each man’s work.
14If any man’s work which he has built on it remains, he will
receive a reward. 15If any man’s work is burned up, he will suffer
loss; but he himself will be saved, yet so as through fire." The
scripture is not speaking about sinning Christians, it is talking
about children of God that are busy with dead religious practices.
Their religion is worthless for the kingdom of God.


We can only bear fruit for the kingdom
of God if we stay in Christ, in obedience to Jesus and His words,
being led by the Holy Spirit.

Sinning Christians, born again
children of God, who do not live holy will not enter the kingdom of
heaven. Without holiness, no man shall see the Lord. Proverbs 3:12
"for the LORD disciplines the one he loves, just as a father
disciplines the son in whom he delights." Many children of God
balk, shrink away, when God disciplines them, therefor they persist
in  their wrongful ways. They do not yield, repent and obey the
Father. They never learn to walk in His ways. They always go astray,
break out and go with the world and the sinners.. They are not
suitable for the kingdom of heaven.

It is only the obedient,
faithful children of God that will inherit His kingdom. The rebels
and fornicators will be cast out and end up in hell with the children
of disobedience.

Never become complacent. Apply yourself to
holiness, obedience to Jesus and work hard for the kingdom of God.
Many children of God will not make it into heaven. Jesus said:
"Strive to enter through the narrow door; for many, I tell you,
will seek to enter and will not be able."

May Jesus bless
you.

JESUS WILL TAKE CARE OF YOU


Jesus is faithful. If you accept Him,
and ask Him to come into your life, He will adopt you and make you a
child of God. He will never leave nor forsake His children. He cares
for them and will take care of them until the end.
Jesus will
supply in every need. He will guide us every step of the way, if we
stay with Him and obey Him. It is not His will that any of His
children perish, but that all of them repent of their evil ways and
obey Him so that they can share in His holiness.
If we stray from
Jesus and disobey Him He will call us back and He will chastise us,
so that we can correct our ways and live. If we keep on disregarding
and disobeying Him, He will hand us over to the punishers. He will
allow satan and his demons to torment us, so that we can learn not to
stray.
Jesus is preparing for Himself a pure bride,
obedient, righteous and holy. He is working perfection in us. He is
purifying His bride like silver in the smelter's pot. John the
baptist said:" 11“As for me, I baptize you with water for
repentance, but He who is coming after me is mightier than I, and I
am not fit to remove His sandals; He will baptize you with the Holy
Spirit and fire. 12“His winnowing fork is in His hand, and He will
thoroughly clear His threshing floor; and He will gather His wheat
into the barn, but He will burn up the chaff with unquenchable
fire.”Matthew 3:11-12.
Wheat is beaten until all the chaff is
removed. Jesus will beat us until all the chaff, sinfulness,
rebellion, worldliness, selfishness, self-will and disobedience, is
beaten out of us so that we can be pure, holy, perfect, like
Him.
Many are not willing to accept the correction and care of
Jesus and they reject Him. They do not yield to Him and obey Him. In
the end they are discarded, as chaff, and burned with unquenchable
fire, in eternal torment in hell.
Jesus will take care of us, but
we must trust, obey, yield to Him, and stay with Him, until the end.
Those who endure with Jesus until the end, they will be saved, they
will have eternal life. Are we enduring with Jesus?
May Jesus
bless you

JESUS IS CALLING YOU. CAN YOU HEAR HIM?


Jesus is calling many Christians to
repent of their evil ways and turn back to Him, to live holy and
serve Him, but many are not hearing.
Jesus is faithful. If you once accepted
Him, He will never give up on you. His calling and His gifts are
irrevocable. He does not turn back on His word. Once you have
accepted Him and become His, He will do His utmost to bring you back
to Him, if you stray, but He will never force you to follow Him. He
will not hold you back if you want to leave Him. If you persist in
your evil ways and refuse to repent and follow Him, you will end up
in hell with the children of disobedience.
Jesus speaks in many
ways, in dreams, visions, circumstances, sickness, pain, calamity,
accidents and many other ways. He speaks through His servants that He
sends to warn the lost and back-slidden. It is not the will of God
that any perish but that all repent of their evil ways, obey Him and
have eternal life.
Nothing happens to a child of God, and to the
back slidden, without Jesus allowing it. The devil can only do to a
child of God, what Jesus allows him to do. All our misfortunes, pains
and calamities come with the consent of God. It is the voice of God,
calling us to Him, calling us to repentance.
Many Christians are
not fruitful. They are in sin and disobedience. They are not
following and obeying Jesus. They are not witnessing and bringing
others to Jesus.  Every tree that does not bear fruit will be
cut off and burned. We read  the words of Jesus in Luke 13:
"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.’”
Dear
friend, are you bearing fruit? Can you hear Jesus calling you and
warning you to repent? Do not ignore Him. Listen, obey, and your soul
will live. If you don't, you will perish.
May Jesus bless you.

ARE YOU BEARING FRUIT?


Since John the baptist first preached
the kingdom of God, the world has been warned that every tree that
does not bear fruit, will get cut off and burned. We read in Matthew
3:1-12
1Now in those days John the Baptist came, preaching in the
wilderness of Judea, saying, 2“Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is
at hand.”
3For this is the one referred to by Isaiah the prophet
when he said,
          
“THE VOICE OF ONE CRYING IN THE WILDERNESS,
          
‘MAKE READY THE WAY OF THE LORD,
          
MAKE HIS PATHS STRAIGHT!’”
4Now John himself had a garment of
camel’s hair and a leather belt around his waist; and his food was
locusts and wild honey. 5Then Jerusalem was going out to him, and all
Judea and all the district around the Jordan; 6and they were being
baptized by him in the Jordan River, as they confessed their
sins.
      7But when he saw many of the
Pharisees and Sadducees coming for baptism, he said to them, “You
brood of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
8“Therefore bear fruit in keeping with repentance; 9and do not
suppose that you can say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham for our
father’; for I say to you that from these stones God is able to
raise up children to Abraham. 10“The axe is already laid at the
root of the trees; therefore every tree that does not bear good fruit
is cut down and thrown into the fire.
    
11“As for me, I baptize you with water for repentance, but He who
is coming after me is mightier than I, and I am not fit to remove His
sandals; He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. 12“His
winnowing fork is in His hand, and He will thoroughly clear His
threshing floor; and He will gather His wheat into the barn, but He
will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.”
We read in John
15:1, Jesus said:“I am the true vine, and My Father is the
vinedresser. 2“Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit, He
takes away; and every branch that bears fruit, He prunes it so that
it may bear more fruit..  4“Abide in Me, and I in you. As the
branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abides in the vine, so
neither can you unless you abide in Me. 5“I am the vine, you are
the branches; he who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit,
for apart from Me you can do nothing. 6“If anyone does not abide in
Me, he is thrown away as a branch and dries up; and they gather them,
and cast them into the fire and they are burned. 7“If you abide in
Me, and My words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be
done for you. 8“My Father is glorified by this, that you bear much
fruit, and so prove to be My disciples. 9“Just as the Father has
loved Me, I have also loved you; abide in My love. 10“If you keep
My commandments, you will abide in My love; just as I have kept My
Father’s commandments and abide in His love."
Here is the
key to bering fruit. We must obey the commandments of Jesus, His
words and teachings as they were also recorded in Matthew, Mark, Luke
and John.
Are we bearing fruit? Are we living as Jesus commanded?
If we don't we will get cut off and burned.
May Jesus bless you.

TO LOVE GOD


The greatest command is:"YOU SHALL
LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL,
AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND, AND WITH ALL YOUR STRENGTH." Mark
12:30.
Many Christians will tell you that they love Jesus,
but our lives have to prove it or else it is just empty words. Jesus
said:"If you love Me, you will keep My commandments."John
14:15. Jesus further 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. 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 14:23,24.
To love Jesus means to obey Him,
His words, His commands that were also recorded in Matthew, Mark,
Luke and John. Jesus said that those who do not love him, do not obey
His words. He further promised that he will come and dwell in and
with the one who loves Him. He will make His Spirit, the Holy Spirit,
to dwell in the one who loves Him and therefor obeys Him.
Not only
will the one who loves Him obey His words, but will also obey His
Spirit, will be led by the Holy Spirit. We read in Romans 8:14 "For
all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God."
They are the children of God. It is thus a requirement for a child of
God to be led by the Holy Spirit and to obey His guidance, then we
will be in Christ, in His love.
In view thereof, let us read the
words of Paul in Romans 8 with understanding: 1Therefore there is now
no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. 2For the law of
the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of
sin and of death. 3For what the Law could not do, weak as it was
through the flesh, God did: sending His own Son in the likeness of
sinful flesh and as an offering for sin, He condemned sin in the
flesh, 4so that the requirement of the Law might be fulfilled in us,
who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.
5For those who are according to the flesh set their minds on the
things of the flesh, but those who are according to the Spirit, the
things of the Spirit. 6For the mind set on the flesh is death, but
the mind set on the Spirit is life and peace, 7because the mind set
on the flesh is hostile toward God; for it does not subject itself to
the law of God, for it is not even able to do so, 8and those who are
in the flesh cannot please God.

    
9However, you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the
Spirit of God dwells in you. But if anyone does not have the Spirit
of Christ, he does not belong to Him. 10If Christ is in you, though
the body is dead because of sin, yet the spirit is alive because of
righteousness. 11But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the
dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will
also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in
you.

      12So then, brethren, we
are under obligation, not to the flesh, to live according to the
flesh— 13for if you are living according to the flesh, you must
die; but if by the Spirit you are putting to death the deeds of the
body, you will live. 14For all who are being led by the Spirit of
God, these are sons of God.15For you have not received a spirit of
slavery leading to fear again, but you have received a spirit of
adoption as sons by which we cry out, “Abba! Father!” 16The
Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are children of God,
17and if children, heirs also, heirs of God and fellow heirs with
Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him so that we may also be
glorified with Him."

By obeying Jesus, we demonstrate our
love for Him. Further, through following the guidance of the Holy
Spirit we fulfill the first commandment, which is LOVING GOD. If we
follow after our flesh, we cannot please God, we cannot do His will,
because we do our own desires, idolizing and serving ourselves.


The Holy Spirit EMPOWERS us to OVERCOME
our flesh and OBEY the will of God, but we have to make every effort
to obey Him.

We are warned that every branch that does not
bear fruit will get cut off and burned. Without Jesus we can do
nothing. If we are not obeying Jesus and following the guidance of
the Holy Spirit, we cannot bear fruit, and are ready to be cut off
and burned.

Do we really love Jesus? Do we obey
His words and commands? Have we received the Holy Spirit and are we
following His guidance? Are we obedient children of God? Do we really
love Jesus?


May Jesus bless you.

A SECOND CANCER DIAGNOSES


There are few things in life that are
as harrowing as a cancer diagnoses. This week I was  diagnosed
with cancer in the lung and chest. I have just recovered from rectal
cancer treatment, surgeries, chemo and radiation that was diagnosed
less than two years ago.
As a born again child of God, I
know that nothing can happen to me that Jesus does not allow. This
sickness was allowed by the Lord, it is from Him. It is chastisement
from the hand of God. Before I was diagnosed with rectal cancer the
Lord warned me that I was not as focused on Him as I should be.
We
used to live in remote places away from family and acquaintances and
we spent most of our time on the internet preaching the gospel and
replying to emails as Jesus commanded us to do. We moved closer to
our children about 3 years ago and got involved with them. It was
then that the Lord warned me. We were still continuing our work on
the internet, witnessing for Jesus, we never stopped, but our
attention was divided because we spent more time with the children.
They made use of us and we obliged, like parents do. It divided our
attention from the Lord's work. It was then that I was diagnosed with
rectal cancer, after becoming very ill.
After botched surgeries I
got sepsis. I was in ICU for more than a month, during which time I
died twice and was resuscitated. I survived, recovered and went
through chemo and extremely painful radiation, then through extensive
surgery to remove the tumor and do reconstructive plastic surgery in
June 2018, as my core was destroyed through the previous botched
surgeries.
During this time I witnessed for Jesus and made
videos as He gave me the messages, but we were still involved with
the children and the wonderful grandson that the Lord had given
us.
Then the pains in my chest started developing, becoming worse
all the time, until I felt that I could not function any more. After
much prayer, I went to the hospital and received the second diagnoses
of cancer.
There is nowhere that we can hide from the Lord,
nothing is hidden from Him. He does not accept half measures or
divided attention. I have been preaching to others but was myself
drawn away by my love for my children and grandchild, which caused me
to sin. I was not as diligent as I should have been and that is why
the Lord struck me twice with cancer.
I accept and have repented
of my error. I am in the Lord's hand. I have decided not to go back
to the hospital. Chemo, radiation, surgery, special diets and
nutritional remedies will not heal me. When the Lord put's His hand
on you, you cannot escape or hide.
By His grace I will continue to
preach the truth, as long as He allows me and finds me useful. I am
thankful that Jesus prunes the branches that bear fruit, which can be
very painful. I am glad that He prunes me and corrects me and did not
just cut me off, like He did 21 years ago when I was not fruitful. I
then died of a heart attack but He brought me back to preach the
gospel. He then gave me a second chance.  I pray that I may bear
more fruit, and bring more souls to Jesus, to bring glory to Him. We
learn through what we suffer and I thank Jesus that He has made me
suffer so that I can better learn His ways and better serve
Him.
Please learn from my mistakes and from my testimony. It is a
narrow road that we need to walk to enter heaven. We need to stay
close to Jesus and be led by the Holy Spirit, all the time. We have
to endure discipline and correction, not give up.
Please pray for
me that the Lord heal me. May we endure with Jesus until the end and
do what is pleasing to Him.
May Jesus bless you.

CHRISTIANS WITHOUT AUTHORITY


Most Christians have no spiritual
authority, they are powerless against satan. They cannot stop
sinning. They cannot stop watching pornography, cannot stop lusting,
cannot resist temptation, cannot stop lying, cheating, fornicating.
They cannot overcome because they are walking in their own power, not
the power of the Holy Spirit.
Those who follow Jesus, under
guidance of the Holy Spirit, have the authority to overcome all
things. They have the authority to cast out satan and set the
captives free, but if they turn from Jesus and compromise with sin,
with other people and with the world, they lose their authority.
satan seduces the children of God to disobey Jesus, they become
powerless, lose their authority and are destroyed.
The
apostle James wrote in James 4:1-10. "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."
If
we purify ourselves of unrighteousness and worldliness, and submit
ourselves to Jesus, He will give us the authority and the power to
overcome sin, satan and the world.
Repent. Purify yourself
Submit to Jesus, obey His words, listen to and follow the guidance of
the Holy Spirit. Do not allow satan to seduce and disarm you through
compromise with sin, disobedience and worldliness. satan will try all
He can until the end to strip you of your power and authority, so
that he can destroy you.
Turn to Jesus. Repent from the heart. He
will accept you and empower you to overcome and stand in the evil
day. Stay with Jesus, in submission to Him, or you will be
destroyed.
Only those who overcome, will enter the kingdom
of heaven. Take heed of the words of Jesus in Revelation 2:4-7 ‘But
I have this against you, that you have left your first
love.5‘Therefore remember from where you have fallen, and repent
and do the deeds you did at first; or else I am coming to you and
will remove your lampstand out of its place—unless you repent.
7‘He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the
churches. To him who overcomes, I will grant to eat of the tree of
life which is in the Paradise of God.’
Are we doing the first
deeds? Are we submitted to Jesus and walking in His authority, in
obedience to Him? Are we overcoming?
May Jesus bless you.

THE FEAR OF MAN IS A SNARE


We read in Proverbs 9:25 “The fear of
man brings a snare, But he who trusts in the LORD will be exalted.”
The fear of man causes people to sin and end up in hell.


Jesus said:“I say to you, My friends,
do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that have no
more that they can do. 5“But I will warn you whom to fear:
fear the One who, after He has killed, has authority to cast into
hell; yes, I tell you, fear Him!” Luke 12:4,5.


People often tell “white” lies, big
lies and even swear falsely to protect themselves of to gain
benefits. God knows everything. Nothing is hidden from Him. Liars
will not enter the kingdom of heaven.


We read in Revelation 22:15 “Outside
are the dogs and the sorcerers and the immoral persons and the
murderers and the idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices
lying.”


Do not let the fear of man cause you to
lie. Repent of all lying and speak the truth always. Liars will not
enter the kingdom of God.


May Jesus bless you

ALL THE GLORY TO JESUS


If anyone makes it into heaven, they
will have nothing to boast about. Without Jesus, nobody will enter
heaven. Just believing in Jesus, will not save you. You need to
know Him, follow and obey Him, until the end. Jesus is the WAY. If
you don’t follow Him, you will not find the entrance into heaven.
He is the TRUTH. Without Him guiding you, you will not know the
truth. He is the LIFE. Without Him there is no life, and without Him
there is no eternal life.
Jesus called me many years ago, to make
disciples who will know Him, follow and obey Him. I am here to put
your hand in His hand, so that you can follow Him.
Jesus wants to disclose Himself to you,
so that you can hear His voice, see His kingdom and be part of His
kingdom, which is the Kingdom of God. You need to accept Him as your
Lord and Master, bow before Him, plead forgiveness of your past sins,
turn from your sins, stop sinning, be baptized in water for the
washing off of your sins. Invite Jesus into your heart, ask Him to
baptize you in the Holy Spirit, so that His Spirit will come and
dwell in you, to teach and guide you every step of the way.
He is faithful. He will not leave you,
nor forsake you. If you do wrong, He will convict you, so you can
repent and correct your ways. If you keep on straying from Him, He
will discipline and chastise you. Sometimes His chastisement will be
severe. It is all because He loves you and cares for you. If you do
make it into heaven it will be because of Him. You must hold His hand
and never let go. If you keep on straying and turn from Him, you will
end up in hell, because of your own unwillingness to follow and stay
with Him.
Without Jesus, you will not make it
into heaven. You will not make it on your own, not with your Bible
alone, not with Christian friends, nor with your church, not with
your preacher or pastor, not with anybody other than Jesus. You will
not make it because of your own initiatives, or good works, mighty
achievements, only through OBEDIENCE to Jesus, holding His hand,
following Him. All the glory will go to Jesus. Without Him, we can do
nothing.
Have you put your hand in His hand and
are you following Him?
May Jesus bless you.

HAVE YOU READ THE FINE PRINT?


Many people believe that they are saved
and have eternal life, based on lies, false teachings, that are being
preached and spread all over the world. Many churches preach an easy
gospel, a false gospel, that guarantees eternal life to anyone who
believes in Jesus. These false teachings are made up by quoting
selected verses from the Bible. Many are deceived, because they
believe the false teachings and do not read the Bible for themselves.
The preachers are like salesmen that sell insurance, but the buyers
do not read the fine print. In the end the insurance does not pay out
because they did not comply with the conditions as stipulated in the
contract. The very same, many believers never read nor comply with
the fine print and when they die, they learn too late that they were
never covered.
The only gospel
that leads to eternal life is the words of Jesus, the words that He
spoke, as also recorded in Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. They are the
red letter words, in some Bibles. The doctrines of the churches and
of other people, even the writings of the apostles, are not the words
of eternal life. Every soul will be judged by the words of Jesus.
Jesus said: “If anyone hears My sayings and does not keep them, I
do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world, but to save
the world. “He who rejects Me and does not receive My sayings, has
one who judges him; the word I spoke is what will judge him at the
last day.” John 12:47,48.
Many believers choose to believe the
doctrines and teaching of men, their churches and even selected
verses from the Bible, but they disregard and disobey the letters in
red, the words of Jesus. You can study the Bible and know it by
heart, but if you disobey the words of Jesus you will not enter
heaven.
Have you read and do you obey the words
Jesus? Have you read the fine print, or do you believe the lies of
the salesmen?
May Jesus bless you.
