JESUS INVITES EVERYONE

Eternal life is for everyone who wishes

to follow Jesus. Jesus will not refuse or turn away anyone who comes
to Him. Everyone who calls on the Name of the Lord will be saved, but
you have to obey Him and stay with Him until the end, to stay saved.

Without Jesus, we can do nothing.
Without Jesus there is no hope of eternal life, not just believing in
Jesus, but knowing Him, following and obeying Him, until the end.
Most important, Jesus must know you, or else you will not enter
heaven.

How is it that Jesus, who is God, and
who knows everything and everybody can say to a person: ”Go away I
never knew you, you worker of lawlessness.”? Jesus said: “Therefore
everyone who confesses Me before men, I will also confess him before
My Father who is in heaven. 33“But
whoever denies Me before men, I will also deny him before My Father
who is in heaven.” Matthew 10:32,33.

Many profess to be Christians but they
do not obey Jesus. They do not live according to His commandments,
His words, as recorded in Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. They refuse
to repent and be baptized. They reject His Holy Spirit. They are
ashamed of Him, ashamed of speaking in tongues. Jesus said: “If you
love Me, you will obey My words.” He also 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.

It was not their faith that failed
them, but their WORKS, their FRUIT. Jesus said:” 15“Beware
of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but
inwardly are ravenous wolves. 16“You
will know them by their fruits. Grapes are not gathered from
thorn bushes nor figs from thistles, are they? 17“So
every good tree bears good fruit, but the bad tree bears bad
fruit. 18“A
good tree cannot produce bad fruit, nor can a bad tree produce good
fruit. 19“Every
tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the
fire. 20“So
then, you will know them by their fruits.” Matthew 7:15-20.

The only way to have eternal life is to
follow and obey Him, not just to believe in Him, as so many falsely
believe. If we believe in Jesus, and follow Him, we will become like
Him. We will be living replicas of Jesus. “3By
this we know that we have come to know Him, if we keep His
commandments. 4The
one who says, “I have come to know Him,” and does not keep His
commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him; 5but
whoever keeps His word, in him the love of God has truly been
perfected. By this we know that we are in Him: 6the
one who says he abides in Him ought himself to walk in the same
manner as He walked.” 1 John 2:3-6.

Are we following Jesus unto eternal
life? Have we become like Him, or are we only fooling ourselves? Do
we know Jesus, and does He know us?

May Jesus bless you.

LOOK UP

The love of God draws us to Him, to

repentance and holiness and closeness to Him, because the only safe
place, is to be close to Him. Often, when things start going wrong in
our lives, when troubles are more and greater than solutions,
believers start blaming satan. They fail to see the hand of God, that
is arranging obstacles around them, that they cannot climb over,
leading them into problems that they cannot solve.
God is forcing
them to LOOK UP, come to Him, call on Him. Nothing happens in the
life of a child of God without His knowledge and approval. The
prophet Amos wrote:
"6If a trumpet is blown in a city will
not the people tremble?
          
If a calamity occurs in a city has not the LORD done it?
 
7Surely the Lord GOD does nothing
          
Unless He reveals His secret counsel
          
To His servants the prophets." Amos 3:6,7.

Where do we
run to when it seams as though things are out of control and heading
for disaster? Do we bow before Jesus, humble ourselves before Him and
seek His counsel, or do we run around in panic and despair? Do we
look up and call on Jesus?
God is in control. He knows what He is
doing. We must just trust Him, stay with Him and obey Him and He will
work all things out for good.
May Jesus bless you.

ARE YOU REALLY SAVED?

The concept of being SAVED, as preached

and believed in the world today is FALSE. Nobody is finally saved
before they have endured with Jesus until the end. Those who have
received Jesus and have been born again are in the process of BEING
SAVED, only as long as they keep following and obeying Jesus. Someone
said to Jesus:
“Lord, are there just a
few who are being saved?” And He said to them, 24“Strive
to enter through the narrow door; for many, I tell you, will seek to
enter and will not be able.” Luke 13:23,24.

Jesus
saves, nothing or nobody else. Jesus will personally decide who will
have eternal life and who not. Just the act of believing in Jesus by
itself will not save anybody. Believing that Jesus is the only one
who can give eternal life causes the believer to take action and do
what Jesus commanded.

Jesus
Himself preached the gospel of the kingdom of God, the only gospel by
which anyone can become part of the kingdom of God and have eternal
life. The words of Jesus, the words that He spoke, taught and
commanded as recorded in Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, are the words
of eternal life. Those who disobey Jesus will NOT have eternal life.

Jesus
said: ”Follow Me.” He said: “Those who endure until the end,
will be saved.” Jesus warned that He will say to many who believed
that they were saved: ”Go away, I never knew you, you workers of
lawlessness.”

Jesus
is the only way, there is no other. Many think they can have
salvation by searching the Scriptures, reading the Bible, and
practicing their own teachings from the Bible, but they refuse to
obey Jesus. They will perish. Take heed of the words of Jesus, obey
Him, there is no other way. Jesus said: “You search the Scriptures
because you think that in them you have eternal life; it is these
that testify about Me; 40and
you are unwilling to come to Me so that you may have life.” Matthew
5:39,40.

Stop
believing lies. Stop following after false doctrines. Stop believing
that you are already finally saved. Follow Jesus, obey His words, and
He will guide you until the end. Jesus is the way. You have to follow
Him to have eternal life.

Embrace
Jesus, His words. Read them and obey them. Repent, turn from sin,
stop sinning. Be baptized in water as Jesus commanded. Pray, call on
Jesus in your own words. He will disclose Himself to you. Ask Him to
baptize you in the Holy Spirit. He will give of His Spirit in you, He
will come and dwell in you, speak to you, in your spirit. He will
teach and guide you. Humble yourself before Jesus. He is God. He is
not your buddy. He is the only one who can give eternal life.

Jesus
will give you feedback. He will tell you whether you are pleasing to
Him or not. Do not rely on other people and do not look for Bible
verses to give you false security and assurances. There are many
soothsayers, preachers that lie to believers, make them feel
comfortable in their sin. They are of satan. The Holy Spirit will
convict you if you sin or do wrong. Immediately repent, plead Jesus
forgiveness and do not repeat the same sin. Be holy. If you are in
sin, you are in danger of hell fire. Without holiness no one will see
the Lord. Stay focused on Jesus and on doing what He commanded. Jesus
will never leave us nor forsake us, but if we stray from Him we will
perish. Stay with Jesus and do not tolerate sin in your life. Seek
Jesus. Seek His peace and confirmation Strive to enter the through
the narrow door. Many will seek to enter and not be able.

Never
give up. Follow Jesus, until the end. Remember, only those who endure
with Jesus until the end, will be saved.

May
Jesus bless you.

HEAR DIRECTLY FROM GOD

“MAN SHALL NOT LIVE ON BREAD

ALONE, BUT ON EVERY WORD THAT PROCEEDS OUT OF THE MOUTH
OF GOD.” Matthew 4:4. That is the way that it has always been,
from the beginning, but very few listen to God and that is why they
perish. God never stopped speaking, but men don’t want to hear from
God, nor listen to Him because they are selfish and evil in their
hearts.

God has written His laws in our hearts.
We all know right from wrong, but we most often ignore our conscience
and go after our own lusts and desires, that cause us to sin and be
condemned because the wages of sin is death. If we do not listen to
our conscience then we will not listen to God either, because God
speaks in our spirit.

If we call on the Lord, He will answer
us. If we seek the truth we will find it, God has not abandoned
mankind, He cares for us. It is not His will that any perish, but
that all repent of their evil ways and live, regardless whether they
have heard the gospel of Jesus Christ or not, regardless if we have a
Bible or not. If we seek the truth Jesus will reveal Himself to us.
It is written: ”5But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of
God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it will be
given to him. 6But he must ask in faith without any doubting,
for the one who doubts is like the surf of the sea, driven and tossed
by the wind. 7For that man ought not to expect that he will
receive anything from the Lord, 8being a double-minded man,
unstable in all his ways.”

People want their own desires. They do
not want the truth, and that is why they do not seek the counsel of
God.

Jesus said:19“This is the judgment,
that the Light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness
rather than the Light, for their deeds were evil. 20“For
everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come to the
Light for fear that his deeds will be exposed. 21“But he who
practices the truth comes to the Light, so that his deeds may be
manifested as having been wrought in God.” John 3:19-21.

If we turn from our evil ways, repent
of sin and seek the truth, and call on the Lord we will see and hear
Him. He will answer us and reveal Himself to us. Jesus said: ”Blessed
are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.” Matthew 5:8.

Jesus gives His Holy Spirit in those
who receive Him and obey Him. He comes and dwells in them so that
they can listen to Him, follow Him and have eternal life. They live
by every word that proceeds from His mouth. Eternal life is through
obeying every word that proceeds from His mouth.

Are we listening to Jesus, following
and obeying Him and living from every word that proceeds from His
MOUTH?

May Jesus bless you.

WORSHIP IN SPIRIT AND TRUTH

Jesus said: “But an hour is coming,

and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in
spirit and truth; for such people the Father seeks to be His
worshipers. 24“God is spirit, and those who worship Him must
worship in spirit and truth.” John 4:23,24. Jesus was speaking
to the Samaritan woman at the well and was referring to the Holy
Spirit that would be given when He said to her: “If you knew the
gift of God, and who it is who says to you, ‘Give Me a drink,’
you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living
water.”  14but whoever drinks of the water that I will
give him shall never thirst; but the water that I will give him will
become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life.” John
4:10,14.

The Holy Spirit was given on the day of
Pentecost, after Jesus had been crucified, resurrected and ascended
to heaven. It was first given to Jesus’ disciples and thereafter to
those who believed and obeyed the gospel. They were filled with the
Holy Spirit and began speaking in other tongues, WORSHIPING IN SPIRIT
AND IN TRUTH. We read in Acts 2:38,39 “Peter said to
them, “Repent, and each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus
Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the
gift of the Holy Spirit. 39“For the promise is for you and
your children and for all who are far off, as many as the Lord our
God will call to Himself.” 

Every born again child of God needs to
be born of water (through baptism) and born of the Spirit of God,
through the Holy Spirit baptism. When baptized in the Holy Spirit,
they will speak in tongues, a well of living water springing up to
eternal life. The Holy Spirit baptism brings in the receiver a never
ending fountain of LIFE, that regenerates, revives and sustains them
if they keep on praying in tongues. Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 14:2
“For one who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God;
for no one understands, but in his spirit he speaks
mysteries.” Verse 4 “One who speaks in a tongue edifies himself;”

The Holy Spirit enables the Spirit
filled believer to pray through the Spirit according to the will of
God. Romans 8:26 “In the same way the Spirit also helps our
weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we should, but the Spirit
Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for
words; 27and He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of
the Spirit is, because He intercedes for the saints according to the
will of God.”

When praying in tongues the worshiper
does not know what he is praying, because the Spirit intercedes
through him. “14For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my
mind is unfruitful. 15What is the outcome then? I will
pray with the spirit and I will pray with the mind also; I will sing
with the spirit and I will sing with the mind also.” 1 Corinthians
14:14. The Holy Spirit provides the utterings conveying the message
to God according to the will of God. Because your mind is not working
while praying in tongues, you can be praying in the Spirit while
going about your daily activities, driving a car, cleaning, doing any
work, even mental work. The Holy Spirit filled believer can and must
be praying in the Spirit all day long. It need not be out loud, it
can be in our mind.

Worship in SPIRIT AND TRUTH must be
done in private, not to be seen by others. Paul writes: “I thank
God, I speak in tongues more than you all; 19however, in the
church I desire to speak five words with my mind so that I may
instruct others also, rather than ten thousand words in a tongue.”
1 Corinthians 14:18.

The Holy Spirit
baptism with tongues is promised to all true worshipers, because the
Spirit enables them to worship in SPIRIT and in TRUTH. The TRUE
WORSHIPERS pray in tongues. Do not let anybody tell you it is only
for some. Baptism in the Holy Spirit is always accompanied with
tongues. Other gifts of the Spirit follow AFTER being initially
baptized in the Spirit. The tongues that accompany baptism in the
Holy Spirit are for edification of the INDIVIDUAL. The gifts that
follow are for the COMMON GOOD of the ASSEMBLY.

“4Now there are varieties of gifts,
but the same Spirit. 5And there are varieties of ministries, and
the same Lord. 6There are varieties of effects, but the same God
who works all things in all persons. 7But to each one is
given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. 8For
to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, and to another
the word of knowledge according to the same Spirit; 9to another
faith by the same Spirit, and to another gifts of healing by the one
Spirit, 10and to another the effecting of miracles, and to
another prophecy, and to another the distinguishing of spirits, to
another various kinds of tongues, and to another the
interpretation of tongues. 11But one and the same Spirit works
all these things, distributing to each one individually just as He
wills.” 1 Corinthians 12:4-11.

The Baptism in the Holy Spirit is the
inheritance of the TRUE WORSHIPERS, those who wish to worship God in
SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH. If you do not speak in tongues you have not yet
received the baptism in the Holy Spirit. Start earnestly worshiping
Jesus. Spend some time in the prayer closet, praising Jesus, yearning
for Him and His righteousness, His confirmation. Examine yourself.
How close are you to Jesus? Is He still your first love? Are there
hidden sins in your life that you need to repent of? Idols? Things
that you love more than Jesus, things that you need to get rid of,
repent of? Have you truly repented, been baptized in water and
committed to Jesus? Are you living holy? Draw closer to Jesus and He
will draw closer to you. Jesus will gladly baptize you in the Holy
Spirit. Become a true worshiper.

May Jesus bless you.

A CHRISTIAN’S BIGGEST TREASURE

The one thing that a Christian cannot

afford to be without is the Holy Spirit and yet most professing
Christians do not have the Holy Spirit and are not even concerned
about it. Without the Holy Spirit the believer is powerless, without
guidance and direction.

Before Jesus ascended to heaven, after
He had been crucified and resurrected, He commanded His disciples not
to leave Jerusalem but to wait for the Holy Spirit. He said: “but
you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you;”
Acts 1:8.

“When
the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together in one
place. 2And
suddenly there came from heaven a noise like a violent rushing
win22d, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. 3And
there appeared to them tongues as of fire distributing themselves,
and they rested on each one of them. 4And
they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with
other tongues, as the Spirit was giving them utterance.” Acts
2:1-4.

Not
only did they speak in tongues but they were filled with the power of
the Holy Spirit. They preached under guidance of the Spirit and many
signs and wonders took place where they went. Many of those who
believed as result of their preaching, repented and were baptized and
also received the baptism in the Holy Spirit, the very same as they
did.

It
is a requirement for a born again child of God to receive and be led
by the Holy Spirit. “Those who are being led by the Spirit of God,
they are the sons of God.” Romans 8:14. “But if anyone does not
have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him.” Romans 8:9.
The first Christians did not have Bibles, none of them, but they had
the Holy Spirit. You need to have the Holy Spirit and be led by the
Holy Spirit. It is Christ in you. You become one of His sheep, who
hear His voice and follow Him. It is promised to ALL those who
believe in Jesus, receive Him, obey Him, repent and be baptized and
seek to follow Him. Nobody is excluded. 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. The Holy Spirit, the Comforter, is promised to ALL born
again believers.

The
first believers sought after the Holy Spirit baptism and they
received it. Without it they were not equipped to follow Jesus. The
very same today. If we do not have the Holy Spirit, we are not
equipped to follow Jesus. Without the Holy Spirit guidance we are in
darkness, without direction and communication with Jesus. Praying in
tongues edifies the Spirit filled believer. Jesus said:”
13“But
when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, 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. 15“All
things that the Father has are Mine; therefore I said that He takes
of Mine and will disclose it to
you.” John 16:13-15. That is how the Holy Spirit equips, guides,
assists and equips the Spirit filled child of God.

Sadly
very few professing Christians desire or seek the baptism in the Holy
Spirit. Some give up too soon and lose out. Others believe the lies
of the devil that the Holy Spirit baptism has ceased, that tongues
have ceased. Jesus never changed but believers are powerless and
unequipped to function as Jesus wants them to, because they have not
sought for and received the Holy Spirit. They are powerless against
the wiles of the devil, because they fight him in their own power.

The
Holy Spirit baptism is not a guarantee of salvation. It is a gift,
equipping the born again child of God. The gifts of the Holy Spirit
are to equip the saints for work of service in the kingdom of God.
They are not status symbols or titles. They are tools, they need to
be practiced and applied to serve and do our duty as children of God.
We can only bear fruit for the kingdom of God if we apply and
practice the gifts of the Spirit. We need to be filled with the
Spirit and pray in the Spirit to overflow with streams of Living
Water.

Do
not be satisfied to go without the Holy Spirit. Ask Jesus to baptize
you in the Holy Spirit and with Fire.

May
Jesus bless you.

DIVINE CONFIRMATION AND MANIFESTATION OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

Many Christians firmly believe that

they are saved and are assured of having eternal life, based on a few
simple actions taken in compliance with a few selected verses from
the Bible. They further presume certain privileges and rights,
reserved for the children of God. They even go as far as likening
themselves to Jesus and calling Him their elder brother. They claim
that Christ is living in them but there is no evidence. There is no
evidence of godliness in their lives. They claim to have received the
Holy Spirit but there is no manifestation of the Holy Spirit.

Jesus commanded His disciples: “Go
into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. 16“He
who has believed and has been baptized shall be saved; but he who has
disbelieved shall be condemned. 17“These
signs will accompany those who have believed: in My name they will
cast out demons, they will speak with new tongues; 18they
will pick up serpents, and if they drink any deadly poison, it
will not hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will
recover.” Mark 16:15,16. Jesus said: ”These signs will accompany
them…”

When the Holy Spirit was given on the
day of Pentecost, those who received the baptism in the Holy Spirit
spoke in tongues. Thereafter all those who received the Holy Spirit,
spoke in tongues. If you are baptized in the Holy Spirit, you will
speak in tongues. As Peter said in Acts 2:39 “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 signs are not a guarantee of
salvation. They are CONFIRMATION that you have believed and received
what was promised. They are confirmation that Jesus is in and with
you, but you must stay WITH Him until the end to have eternal life.

Tongues is given to ALL who receive the
baptism in the Holy Spirit. It is a sign to the unbeliever, that the
person who never learned a tongue speaks and prays in a tongue that
was given to him. It is the sign that he has received the Holy
Spirit. The tongue has a purpose. “2For
he who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men, but to God. Indeed,
no one understands him; he utters mysteries in the Spirit.” Verse 4
“The one who speaks in a tongue edifies himself.” 1 Corinthians
14:2,4. The Holy Spirit assists him in praying according to the will
of God. We read in Romans 8:26 “In the same way the Spirit also
helps our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we should, but
the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too
deep for words; 27and
He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is,
because He intercedes for the saints according to the will
of God.” When you pray in a tongue the Spirit prays through
you and you are built up in your spirit. That is why we need to pray
in tongues, we need to pray in the Spirit. Such tongues are not for
interpretation.

God gives Spiritual Gifts to those who
are already baptized in the Holy Spirit. Those gifts are for
edification of the assembly of believers. Such are prophecy and
tongues with interpretation. Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 14:3,4 “But
he who prophesies speaks to men for their edification, encouragement,
and comfort. 4The
one who speaks in a tongue edifies himself, but the one who
prophesies edifies the church.”

The indwelling of the Holy Spirit
results in supernatural manifestation of the Spirit in and through
the Spirit filled believer. These are manifestations not invoked but
result from our communion with Jesus. The Holy Spirit will speak to
us, guide us and confirm things to us, tell us things to come, will
give revelations. The born again child of God is led by the Holy
Spirit. His confirmation and direction comes from Jesus, through the
Spirit.

The Holy Spirit baptism confirmed with
the ability to speak in tongues is for all who believe and obey
Jesus, repent and are baptized. Never give up seeking for the Holy
Spirit baptism and never give up praying in tongues once you have
received it. It is your personal power line to edify and build you
up. It is not just for some, but for all who wish to walk in the
Spirit and receive their confirmation and direction from Him. The
signs will FOLLOW. They will not CEASE. They CEASE when the believer
stops following Jesus.

May Jesus bless you.

CONNECTED TO THE SOURCE

Jesus came, not only to give us LIFE

but to CONNECT us to the SOURCE OF LIFE, HIMSELF. We can be connected
to Jesus all the time. We can experience Him, hear from Him, be in
communion with Him all the time. Without Jesus we can do nothing.
Without His guidance and direction we cannot serve Him and be part of
His kingdom. That is why He did not send us a Manual, a Book or a
road map. He gives His Spirit, the Holy Spirit in those who wish to
follow and serve Him, and be part of His kingdom, the kingdom of
Heaven.

Very few Christian believers have the
Holy Spirit and of those who have the Spirit, few follow and obey
Him. Very few are connected to the Source, Jesus Christ, and that is
why they perish. Most Christians are just religious. They practice
dead religion, but do not know nor follow Jesus.

The first believers did not have Bibles
or churches, but they had the Holy Spirit. After Jesus was crucified
and resurrected, before He ascended to heaven He commanded His
disciples to go to Jerusalem and wait for the Holy Spirit. The Holy
Spirit was given on the day of Pentecost. We read about it in Acts
chapters 1 & 2. The bystanders were amazed at what happened and
they asked the disciples what they should do to receive the Holy
Spirit and Peter replied to them: “Repent, and each of you be
baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your
sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39“For
the promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off,
as many as the Lord our God will call to Himself.” Acts
2:38,39.

Those who obeyed the gospel, who
repented and were baptized also received the baptism in the Holy
Spirit. Not only did they receive the ability to pray in tongues, but
they were CONNECTED TO THE SOURCE. The New Testament Christians were
led by the Holy Spirit, they followed Jesus. Thus Paul also wrote in
Romans 8:14 “ For all who are being led by the Spirit of God,
these are sons of God.” The real Christians, the true followers of
Jesus have one thing in common, they are led by the Holy Spirit.
Throughout the book of Acts we read how the followers of Jesus, the
apostles and new believers, who obeyed the gospel, received the Holy
Spirit and were led by the Holy Spirit.

Jesus never changed. His words never
changed and His promises never changed. He never stopped baptizing in
the Holy Spirit. People changed. People stopped believing in Him and
obeying Him and that is why they are not connected to Him. The
Christian churches took on dead religion and that is why they have
become secular institutions full of unrepentant sinners who follow
after men. They will perish in their sins.

We can only be pleasing to Jesus and
bear fruit for His kingdom if we are connected to Him, having
received the Holy Spirit, listening to, following and obeying Him.
The Holy Spirit CONNECTION is ESSENTIAL and is promised to all who
obey the gospel, as Peter declared:” “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. That is the WHOLE GOSPEL, and it never CHANGED.

Believers follow
after false doctrines. They do not follow after Jesus. They disobey
Jesus, refuse to repent of their sins, refuse to stop sinning and be
holy, refuse to be baptized in water as He commanded and that is why
He does not baptized them in the Holy Spirit. They do not accept nor
receive Jesus and His words and commandments as also recorded in
Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. That is why most professing Christians
are on their way to hell. They are not CONNECTED to Jesus. They do
not have the Holy Spirit, they do not follow and obey the Holy
Spirit. They are not His sheep. They do not hear His voice nor follow
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.

Do you want LIFE and the HOPE of
eternal life? Do you want to be CONNECTED to the SOURCE OF LIFE,
Jesus Christ? Then OBEY His words, repent and be baptized, seek Him,
ask Him and He will baptize you in the Holy Spirit. Jesus said, the
Holy Spirit, “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.

Get CONNECTED and stay connected to the
SOURCE, Jesus Christ, and you will have LIFE.

May Jesus bless you.

DANGERS OF CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP

Everything with the ”Christian”

prefix is not necessarily suitable for a child of God. Most people
who profess to be Christians are also not necessarily good company.
The scripture often used by churches to compel believers into
attending church assumes that those who go to church are children of
God. It is written in Hebrews10:23-25
“Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for
He who promised is faithful; 24and
let us consider how to stimulate one another to love and good
deeds, 25not
forsaking our own assembling together, as is the habit of some, but
encouraging one another; and all the more as you see the
day drawing near.” Very few church goers are serious about
following Jesus. Most church goers can only talk about their church
and pastor, some talk about the Bible, but most cannot talk about
Jesus, because they do not know Him. You will be hard pressed to find
anyone who is serious about following Jesus in a church.

Most of those who seriously follow
Jesus have little time for fellowship with others because they are in
fellowship with Jesus. If you want to be close to Jesus you need to
stay focused on Him during your day while going about your daily
tasks and you have to set aside time to pray and listen to Him. You
cannot afford to waste time watching TV, videos, movies, playing
video games, playing around on social media, listening to the news,
reading novels, practicing hobbies, sports, senseless entertainment,
texting and endless telephone conversations. You do not acquire the
mind of Christ if you are busy with other things. That is also why I
avoid telephone calls and rather reply to emails. Your day can easily
be consumed by telephone calls. We must be tuned in and available for
Jesus. If we are occupied with other things we cannot serve Him and
respond to Him.

Members of the opposite sex should also
not get involved in counseling. Private one-on-one counseling with
the opposite sex is dangerous. Never open the door to temptation.
Many children of God have been destroyed.

You do not get closer to Jesus through
fellowship with other Christians. You will rather get drawn away from
Jesus. You only get closer to Jesus through fellowship with Him. If
we seek Jesus, we find Him. If we draw closer to Him, He will draw
closer to us. We only become like Jesus through fellowship with Him.
We build our fellowship with Jesus through prayer, spending time
alone praying, speaking to Jesus from our heart, in our own words. We
get in tune with Him if we read His words, the words that He spoke
and commanded, the red letter words in some Bibles, in Matthew, Mark,
Luke and John, pondering those words, having them in our mind,
obeying them and living in obedience to them. If we obey Jesus,
repent of sin, are baptized in water, stop sinning, live holy and
seek Him in prayer He will come and dwell in us, in our spirit. He
will give of His Spirit, the Holy Spirit, in us to teach and guide
us. We must hunger and thirst for Him and He will satisfy us with
constant awareness of His presence. He will disclose Himself to us
and reveal things to us about Him, the kingdom of heaven, about the
future. He will teach us all things. That is His promise to those who
seek His fellowship and obey Him. We will only know the mind of
Christ, His plan for us if we live in close fellowship with Him. We
can only be fruitful for His kingdom if we remain in Him, in
fellowship with Him.

Many Christian believers have
fellowship with other believers but they have no fellowship with
Jesus. Jesus warned that He will say to many Christians: “Go away I
never knew you, you workers of lawlessness.”

Do not allow
fellowship with other believers to distract you from Jesus. The only
fellowship that we need is with Jesus, because it is only when we are
in fellowship with Him that we can bear fruit for His kingdom and be
pleasing to Him. Use your time wisely, have fellowship with Jesus and
build your relationship with Him. Follow Him, every day, until the
end and you will have life.

May Jesus bless you.

DO YOU HAVE THE WORD IN YOU?

”The Word became flesh and made His

dwelling among us.” John 1:14. Jesus Christ is the Word if
God.  “The first MAN, Adam, BECAME A LIVING SOUL.”
The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.” 1 Corinthians
15:45. Jesus Christ is the second Adam. Jesus gives of His Spirit,
the Holy Spirit, to dwell in those who have received Him and who OBEY
Him. The born-again children of God are a temple of the Holy Spirit,
Jesus, who dwells in them. They have the Word of God IN them.

Many people profess to be Christians
and they have Bible knowledge in their heads, but they do not have
Jesus in their hearts. They do not have the Word of God in them.

The Bible is not the Word of God. It is
the Scriptures. Having the Scriptures in your head does not give you
life. You must have the Spirit of Christ, the Holy Spirit dwelling in
you.

The Holy Spirit is implanted in you
when you RECEIVE Jesus. We read in James 1:21 “Therefore, putting
aside all filthiness and all that remains of wickedness, in humility
receive the word implanted, which is able to save your souls.”

Bible study and indoctrination cannot
change you into a child of God. Jesus changes you when you receive
and obey Him. You are born again of the Spirit of God, and the Word
of God comes and dwells in you. That is the reality of Emmanuel,
Christ dwelling among and in those who have RECEIVED Him and who
FOLLOW and OBEY Him. They are His sheep. They listen to His voice and
they follow Him. It is through communion with Jesus, that we become
like Him, through prayer and obedience, not through Bible study.

The modern church is dead. They have
Bibles, doctrines, preachers and facilities, but they do not have the
Word of God in them. Jesus does not dwell in them. Jesus is the
Spirit. He gives LIFE to those in whom He dwells.

Do you have the Word of God in you?
Does Jesus dwell in you?

May Jesus bless you.

GO AFTER JESUS SEEK HIS GUIDANCE

We are called, not just to believe in

Jesus, but to go after Him and follow Him. We cannot follow after
Jesus if we do not first repent from going after sin and our own
plans and desires. If we wish to follow Jesus and have eternal life
we have to deny ourselves, lay down our own plans and ambitions and
put our whole life into obeyance to Jesus.

Before we can follow Jesus, we have
accept Him as our Lord and Master and commit to obey Him, to live
according to His commandments and instructions, His words as recorded
in Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. The elementary commandments are: to
repent of all sin, be baptized in water, to live holy and to seek the
baptism in the Holy Spirit.

The Holy Spirit is essential to our
relationship with Jesus. Jesus said of the Holy Spirit: ”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
16:13-16.

Many believers never obeyed the
elementary commandments of Jesus, and have not received the Holy
Spirit, that is why they are not led by Him, and cannot follow Jesus
to do what is pleasing to Him. They do not have a real relationship
with Him.

Those who have received the Holy Spirit
must go after Him, seek His guidance in all things, in prayer,
waiting on Him for guidance and direction. He will speak to them in
their spirit. In all things, we must seek and follow His guidance.
The apostles and first followers of Jesus were led by the Holy
Spirit.

The Holy Spirit, is Christ in us. We
are a temple of the Holy Spirit, but few believers are led by the
Holy Spirit. Most are just religious. Christ does not live in them.
They are living their lives for their own pleasure. They are
believers, but not children of God. “Those who are being led by the
Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.” Romans 8:14.

Have we advanced beyond the first
principles of being a Christian? Have we received Jesus, repented,
been baptized in water, received the Holy Spirit? Are we being led by
the Spirit of God? Do we go after Jesus every day to seek and follow
His guidance? Are we fruitful, obedient children of God?

May Jesus bless you.

GOD IS NOT LIMITED BY THE BIBLE

God is omnipotent, indescribable,

unpredictable, beyond understanding, indefinable ALMIGHTY. The Bible
testifies of the greatness of God, but it cannot limit nor contain
God. Many believe and declare that the Bible is the final authority.
That is not true, neither is that verse recorded anywhere in the
Bible.

Jesus Christ is the final authority.
All power and all authority belongs to Him, in heaven and on earth
and nobody nor anything dictates to Him what He can or cannot do,
neither what He will or will not do. He speaks and He manifests
Himself in whichever way He chooses. His sheep hear His voice, they
recognize His hand. They understand what He is telling and teaching
them because they know HIM, they have His Spirit in them and they
follow Him.

Many believers only trust in the Bible.
They have read about Jesus in the Bible, but they do not know Him and
most of them have not received His Spirit, the Holy Spirit. They do
not know Jesus. They are limited by their knowledge and understanding
of the Bible and therefor they seek to limit God by their
understanding. They want to verify everything with scriptures from
the Bible, and if they do not find a Bible verse they reject it. If
Jesus speaks to them they would want a Bible verse to verify what He
said. They refuse to accept nor follow the guidance of the Holy
Spirit. They rather want a scripture.

The truth of the matter is that most
Christians are not really Christians because they do not know nor
follow Jesus. They are Bible believers that follow an ideology. They
do not obey the gospel of Jesus Christ, His words and commandments
as they were also recorded in Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Because
they do not obey Jesus, they demonstrate that they do not believe in
Him and therefor He has not revealed Himself to them so that they can
know Him. Therefor they have also not received the Holy Spirit. They
have no real relationship with Jesus.

Knowledge and understanding of Jesus
and the kingdom of God only comes through revelation of the Holy
Spirit that Jesus gives in those who seek and obey Him, not through
Bible study or through the testimony of others. The Holy Spirit
verifies the scriptures and gives understanding of the scriptures.
Discernment of the Holy Spirit is given by the Spirit, not by testing
the Spirit against the Scriptures. Divine Knowledge and understanding
is IMPARTED, GIVEN by the Holy Spirit, it is not attained by Bible
study. The Holy Spirit functions in the realm of the supernatural,
the divine, and gives WISDOM to the BELIEVING, those who walk by
FAITH, not by sight and human understanding.

“Those who are being led by the
Spirit of God, they are the sons of God” Romans 8:14.

Have we truly
come to know Jesus? Are we born again of the Spirit of God? Have we
received the Holy Spirit and are we walking in unison with Jesus,
being led by the Holy Spirit, or are we carnal believers that
function on the level of the natural?

May Jesus bless you.

DO YOU HAVE THE SPIRIT?

Many believers claim to have received

the Holy Spirit, that Jesus promised to those who seek to obey and
follow Him. It is however not clear how the Holy Spirit manifests in
their lives because very little if any of the workings of the Spirit,
as foretold by Jesus are present in their lives.

Before Jesus was crucified He said to
His disciples: “But
I tell you the truth, it is to your advantage that I go away; for if
I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I go, I
will send Him to you. 8“And
He, when He comes, will convict the world concerning sin and
righteousness and judgment; 9concerning
sin, because they do not believe in Me; 10and
concerning righteousness, because I go to the Father and you no
longer see Me; 11and
concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world has been judged.
12“I
have many more things to say to you, but you cannot
bear them now. 13“But
when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, 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. 15“All
things that the Father has are Mine; therefore I said that He takes
of Mine and will disclose it to
you.” John 16:7-14.

After Jesus was crucified, before He
ascended to heaven He commanded His disciples to go to Jerusalem and
wait for the Spirit. We read about it in Acts 1 & 2. The Holy
Spirit was given on the day of Pentecost. Those who received the
baptism in the Holy Spirit not only spoke in tongues, but they went
forth, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God under guidance of
the Holy Spirit, with signs and wonders.

They were not operating on their own,
by their own initiative. Having received the Spirit of Christ, they
had Christ in them. They were following His guidance, going where He
sent them, speaking His words, being taught by Him.

Modern Christianity is Letter based,
Bible based, doctrine based with little if any working and
manifestation of the Holy Spirit. In which way are the lives of those
who claim to have receiver the Holy Spirit impacted, and how are they
impacting the world around them? Are they only laying claim to some
experience of have they RECEIVED Jesus. Is Christ in them? Is Jesus
living in them and being manifested through them?

Many do have spirits in them, evil
spirits, lust, greed, religious spirits, rage, jealousy, hatred,
immorality, pride, murder, homosexuality, and many more, even though
they call themselves Christians.

The Spirit of Christ does not cohabit
with evil spirits. Our body is a temple of the Holy Spirit. Do we
have the Holy Spirit?

May Jesus bless you.

SIMPLE CHILDLIKE FAITH

We live in a world that is more

literate than it has ever been in history, more people can read and
write than ever. More people have Bibles than ever but very few have
any knowledge of God nor understanding of the kingdom of God. The
world is full of innovations, 7schemes, procedures, technologies,
theories, remedies and explanations for everything under the sun, but
it has never been as confused, deceived and hopelessly lost as it is
in this age.

Modern day Christianity has many Bible
teachers and highly educated preachers with qualifications earned
from prestigious universities, but there are few, if any, men and
women of God. That is why they are powerless, inconsequential, they
have no impact on the world, empty talkers, powerless sinners. They
cannot even overcome their own flesh. They do not understand the
kingdom of God, because they have not and cannot receive it. They are
puffed up, arrogant and proud. Jesus said: "Truly I say to you,
whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child will not
enter it at all." Luke 18:17.

25At that time Jesus said, “I praise
You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that You have hidden these
things from the wise and intelligent and have revealed them
to infants. 26“Yes, Father, for this way was well-pleasing in
Your sight. 27“All things have been handed over to Me by My
Father; and no one knows the Son except the Father; nor does anyone
know the Father except the Son, and anyone to whom the Son wills to
reveal Him.” Matthew 11:25.

The modern day Christianity is Bible
based, based on the dead letter, not on revelation of Jesus Christ
through faith and childlike acceptance of Jesus and obedience to His
words. They are for ever learning, studying and never coming to the
knowledge of the truth because they refuse to accept and obey Jesus.

You cannot bypass Jesus Christ.
Doctrines, Bible studies and human wisdom will not bring you into the
kingdom of God. You have to humble yourself before Jesus, obey Him,
His words and commandments as recorded in Matthew, Mark, Luke and
John; repent and be baptized, stop sinning, be holy, seek Him with
all your heart and He will REVEAL Himself to you. You need a
revelation of Jesus, not knowledge and endless teachings. You need to
be taught by Jesus, through your relationship with Him.

Accept and OBEY Jesus without doubt and
reservation. Fully trust Him and He will reveal Himself and the
Father to you. Those who are wise in their own estimation will not
receive the mysteries of the kingdom of God, because they lack simple
childlike faith.

May Jesus bless you.

JESUS WANTS TO HELP YOU

Without Jesus it is impossible to enter

the Kingdom of Heaven. Without Jesus there is no hope of eternal
life. Jesus said: ”Without Me, you can do nothing.” Jesus came to
save the world. We read in John 1:10”
He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the
world did not know Him. 11He
came to His own, and those who were His own did not receive
Him. 12But as
many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of
God, even to those who believe in His name, 13who
were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will
of man, but of God.”

Very few RECEIVED Jesus. The religious
Jews had Him crucified, and even after He was resurrected and
ascended to heaven FEW believed in Him and RECEIVED Him. Even today,
some BELIEVE in Jesus but very few RECEIVE Him, very few become
CHILDREN OF GOD.

Most professing Christians believe in a
CONCEPT or IMAGE of Jesus but they do not get to KNOW Jesus, for
real. The message preached in churches is to believe IN Jesus for
salvation but it omits the vital requirement of RECEIVING Jesus, and
so the vast majority of believers do not HAVE Jesus and do not have
the hope of eternal life.

It is of no use to believe in Jesus if
we do not ACCEPT His words and commandments, and do not obey Him.
Jesus wants to give us eternal life, and He wants us to inherit the
Kingdom of Heaven, and He will help us to enter but then we have to
follow and obey Him. If we do not ACCEPT Jesus as LORD and do not
RECEIVE Him to unconditionally follow and obey Him until the end, we
will not inherit the Kingdom of God. To be saved and stay saved is
not a once off occurrence but a journey that we have to undertake,
for the rest of our lives, until the very end. It is not a journey
with a Book, a new doctrine, a Bible, a church, or a group of people,
it is a WALK with Jesus, every day, until the end.

Most professing Christians believe in
the Bible and in the doctrines that they have developed from it, but
they do not believe in Jesus of the Bible, because they never
RECEIVED Him. Their reality is their Bible and their church, their
church leaders, the church doctrines, things that they can see, hear
and sense with their physical senses, but they do not SEE, HEAR nor
EXPERIENCE Jesus. They are carnal people, they were never BORN AGAIN
of the Spirit of God. They are not God’s children. God’s children
are led by the Holy Spirit. They HEAR His voice. “Those who are
being led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.” Romans
8:14. Jesus can only help you if you receive Him, His Spirit and if
you FOLLOW and OBEY Him. If you follow after people, preachers,
doctrines, books, teachings, you will not enter heaven. Jesus said to
the Pharisees: “You
search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal
life; it is these that testify about Me; 40and
you are unwilling to come to Me so that you may have life.” John
5:39.  It is exactly the same with most professing
Christians. They think they have eternal life by studying their
Bibles, but they refuse to RECEIVE, FOLLOW and OBEY Jesus, and that
is why they will PERISH.

Are we following Jesus? Have we
received Him and are we receiving His help and guidance?

May Jesus bless you.

COME OUT OF THE SINFUL IMMORAL CHURCHES

Those who are born again children of

God are the Body of Christ, the temple of the Holy Spirit. We read in
1 Corinthians 6:19,20 19Or do you not know that your body is a temple
of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and that
you are not your own? 20For you have been bought with a price:
therefore glorify God in your body. It is written in 1 Peter 2:9
“9But you are A CHOSEN RACE, A royal PRIESTHOOD, A HOLY
NATION, A PEOPLE FOR God’s OWN POSSESSION, so that
you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of
darkness into His marvelous light;”

Sadly, the
overwhelming majority of modern day churches are not holy. They are
full of sinners, immorality, fornication, they are worldly, a
dwelling place of demons. Their members are not the Body of Christ,
nor are they a temple of the Holy Spirit. You recognize them by their
rotten fruit. They are not a place where any born again child of God
would fit in or feel welcome, because. A real follower of Jesus WILL
NOT ASSOCIATE WITH THEM.

Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians 5:9-13 “
I wrote you in my letter not to associate with immoral
people; 10I did not at all mean with the
immoral people of this world, or with the covetous and swindlers, or
with idolaters, for then you would have to go out of the world. 11But
actually, I wrote to you not to associate with any so-called brother
if he is an immoral person, or covetous, or an idolater, or a
reviler, or a drunkard, or a swindler—not even to eat with such a
one. 12For what have I to do with judging outsiders? Do you not
judge those who are within the church? 13But those who are
outside, God judges. REMOVE THE WICKED MAN FROM AMONG YOURSELVES.”
The modern day “church” has fallen so far that you have to REMOVE
YOURSELF from them, not associate with them.

They are believers, but not followers
of Jesus. They are not fit for fellowship with a true follower of
Jesus. What Paul wrote about unbelievers now applies to the church
going believers. He wrote: “14Do not be bound together with
unbelievers; for what partnership have righteousness and lawlessness,
or what fellowship has light with darkness? 15Or what harmony
has Christ with Belial, or what has a believer in common with an
unbeliever?

16Or what agreement has the temple of
God with idols? For we are the temple of the living God; just as God
said,
            “I WILL DWELL
IN THEM AND WALK AMONG THEM;
            AND I WILL
BE THEIR GOD, AND THEY SHALL BE MY PEOPLE.

      17“Therefore, COME
OUT FROM THEIR MIDST AND BE SEPARATE,” says the
Lord.
            “AND
DO NOT TOUCH WHAT IS UNCLEAN;
            And
I will welcome you.

      18“And
I will be a father to you,
            And
you shall be sons and daughters to Me,”
            Says
the Lord Almighty. 2 Corinthians 6:14-18.

Come out of the immoral sinful
churches, and follow Jesus. If you stay in the immoral sinful
churches and follow the hirelings you will perish. Be holy and Jesus
will accept you, speak to you and guide you. Follow Jesus, not the
wolves, the preachers in the reprobate churches. Follow Jesus and be
part of His flock. His sheep hear His voice and they follow Him and
He gives them eternal life.

May Jesus bless you.

What YOU MUST DO to have ETERNAL LIFE

There are many false doctrines and lies

around this subject, deception that will take may believers to hell.
Many false gospels are being preached. There is only one gospel that
leads to eternal life and that is the WORDS and COMMANDMENTS of
Jesus. It is vitally important that we make sure tha4t we obey the
exact words of Jesus and do not follow one of the many false gospels
that are being preached.

Jesus Christ is the final judge of all
men and He alone will decide who will have eternal life. He
personally delivered the words of eternal life, that will save those
who obey them. The words of Jesus were recorded in the gospels,
Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, the red letter words, in some Bibles.
Those who reject Jesus and disregard His words are already judged.

The gospel of Jesus is the gospel of
the kingdom of God. Jesus said:” The Law and the Prophets were
proclaimed until John; since that time the gospel of the kingdom of
God has been preached, and everyone is forcing his way into it.”
Luke 16:16. He was referring to John the Baptist. John the Baptist
came, preaching in the wilderness of Judea, saying, 2“Repent,
for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” Matthew 3:1. “Then
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.” Matthew 3:5,6.

Not only did
Jesus preach the gospel of the kingdom. He subjected Himself to it.
He had no sin, but he was also baptized by John the Baptist. He
practiced what He preached and demonstrated how those who believe in
Him, should live. Jesus did nothing on His own initiative. He came to
do the will of the Father. After He was crucified and resurrected,
before He ascended to heaven, He also commanded His disciples to go
to Jerusalem and wait for the Holy Spirit, that was given on the day
of Pentecost, so that they would also, like Him, be led by the Holy
Spirit, to be able to do the will of the Father.

It is the same gospel that Peter
preached on the day of Pentecost as is written in Acts 2:38,39.
“Peter said to them, “Repent, and each of you be
baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your
sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39“For
the promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off,
as many as the Lord our God will call to Himself.”

Jesus said:”FOLLOW ME.” He promised
ETERNAL LIFE to those who become His sheep and follow Him. The gospel
of the kingdom of God is: RECEIVE/ACCEPT Jesus. REPENT and be
BAPTIZED. Turn from sin, sin no more, then be baptized in water, as
Jesus and His disciples were also baptized. Live your life in
obedience to the words and commandments of Jesus. For those who obey
Him, He promised the Holy Spirit, to come and dwell in them, to teach
and guide them, the very same as He was directed by the Father.

We can only FOLLOW Jesus and have
eternal life if we are BORN AGAIN of water, through water baptism,
and of Spirit, through the baptism in the Holy Spirit. 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;“ John
10:27,28. There is no talk of going to church, or reading the Bible,
or listening to other people, preachers etc. His sheep do not follow
strangers. We read in John10:4
“When
he puts forth all his own, he goes ahead of them, and the sheep
follow him because they know his voice. 5“A
stranger they simply will not follow, but will flee from him, because
they do not know the voice of strangers.” He gives them
eternal life because they FOLLOW HIM.

Most
professing Christians are not His sheep. They might believe in Him,
but they do not follow Him, because they are not born again, do not
know Him and therefor do not know His voice. They follow after
strangers, preachers, churches, false prophets, deceivers. They
believe they have salvation and will have eternal life, but they are
deceived, by false gospels.

Seek
Jesus for yourself. Obey the gospel of Jesus Christ. RECEIVE Him,
REPENT AND BE BAPTIZED, live according to His words and commandments.
Ask Him to baptize you in the Holy Spirit, so you can be BORN AGAIN,
KNOW HIM, HEAR HIS VOICE and follow Him. Pray, speak to Jesus. He
will speak to you, in your spirit. “Those who are being led by the
Spirit of God, they are the children of God.” Romans 8:14. They
follow Him and He gives eternal life to them.

May
Jesus bless you.

MORE JESUS

The kingdom of God is about Jesus

living in us who belong to Him and follow Him. If Jesus is living in
us we will be like Him, the world will see Jesus in us. What we do,
how we act, speak, react and the things that interest us show what is
inside of us. Many Christians are worldly. There is no difference
between them and the world, the unbelievers. Others are full of
religion. Some are full of demons. Most of them are full of
themselves. A tree is known by it’s fruit.

You cannot educate a person to become a
child of God. No amount of Bible study, preaching, indoctrination,
coaching or motivation can change a sinner into a saint. At heart
that person will remain a sinner and what he is will be manifested in
his deeds, his life style. You need to be born again to become a
child of God. You need to be born again to enter the kingdom of
heaven.

Jesus will only come into your life and
make you new, born again, if you RECEIVE Him. “But as many as
received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of
God, even to those who believe in His name, 13who were
born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of
man, but of God.” John 1:12,13. You need to INVITE Jesus into your
life and RECEIVE Him as you Lord and Master. You will only become
like Him if you submit to Him, and -obey His words and His
commandments.

Many believe in Jesus. Some receive
Him, but then turn away from Him. They reject His words and
commandments. Some become very religious, but they never become like
Jesus, because they are not of Him.

If we are of Jesus and follow Him, He
will be seen in us. We will be seeking more of Jesus, Himself, in
prayer and devotion, in obedience to His words and commandments. It
is though our relationship with Jesus, having received Him and His
Holy Spirit, living in communion with Him, that we will be changed
into His likeness.

Are we seeking MORE of Jesus, more
revelation, hearing His voice, receiving His approval, being changed
to be like Him? If we want more of Jesus, we need to spend more time
with Him, in prayer. We need to stay connected, tuned in, listening,
obeying following or else we will not be able to bear fruit for His
kingdom.

Many Christians
are fruitless and ready to be cut off and burned. There is no Jesus
in them. Without Jesus we can do nothing. Is Jesus in us?

May Jesus bless you.

REPENT - THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS AT HAND

The kingdom of God is at hand. Jesus,

the King is coming, to judge the world and to execute judgment on all
the unrighteousness of men. Since the days of John the Baptist, the
world has been warned to repent and prepare for the Coming of Jesus.
John the Baptist warned:” 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 3:12.

The first time Jesus came to save the
world. The next time He will come to judge the world. The only way to
enter the kingdom of God and have eternal life is to be born again.
No sinners will enter heaven. Jesus came to save sinners, make them
new inside, born again, to be holy children of God that obey Him.

Jesus Himself delivered the words of
eternal life, which are His words, the words that He spoke and His
commandments. Those who disregard and disobey Jesus will perish. His
words were recorded in Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Jesus said:”He
who believes in Me, does not believe in Me but in Him who sent
Me. 45“He who
sees Me sees the One who sent Me. 46“I
have come as Light into the world, so that everyone who
believes in Me will not remain in darkness. 47“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. 48“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. 49“For
I did not speak on My own initiative, but the Father Himself who sent
Me has given Me a commandment as to what to say and what to
speak. 50“I
know that His commandment is eternal life; therefore the things I
speak, I speak just as the Father has told Me” John 12:44-50.

The gospel of Jesus is plain and
simple, easy to understand. It is condensed in these verses that
Jesus commanded His disciples: “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. Also:
“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.

Jesus did never and will ever reject
anyone who comes to Him. He did not judge even the biggest sinner. He
healed the sick and delivered the demon possessed, but He commanded
them to GO SIN NO MORE. All those who believed and REPENTED were
baptized in water, by Jesus’ disciples. Repent does not mean to
admit you are a sinner, it means to TURN AWAY FROM SIN, SIN NO MORE.
“Without holiness no one will see the Lord.”

Jesus gives the New Life to those who
believe in Him, repent and are baptized. They are born again, they
become children of God, who live in obedience to Jesus’
commandments. He also promised to give the Holy Spirit, in them to
help, teach and guide them, but they must stay in OBEDIENCE to Jesus,
living holy and righteously, bearing fruit for the kingdom of God.

Jesus is coming and He will judge every
man according to their DEEDS. Even in the days of John the Baptist
there were some who came for baptism but they had never repented,
they were still practicing sin. “But 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;” Matthew 3:7,8. Baptism
without repentance is senseless. Many born again Christians go back
to unholiness and sin after being baptized. If they do not repent,
they will perish.

Many preachers, church leaders and
evangelists, are living in sin. Jesus called them false prophets.
“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.

Many Christians are not ready. They are
not living in communion with Jesus, because they are worldly and in
sin. Their fruit is bad, they are bad trees. The kingdom of God is at
hand. Jesus is coming to judge the world, but judgment will start
with His children, the Christians. The apostle Peter wrote: “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?” 1 Peter 4:17,18.

Jesus is coming. Are we ready?

Repent before it is too late and bear
fruit in keeping with repentance. Be a good tree, because bad trees
will be cut down and burned, even though they were born again
believers.

REPENT – THE
KINGDOM OF GOD IS AT HAND.

May Jesus bless you.

DO NOT WORRY ABOUT YOUR LIFE

To worry is destructive, counter

productive and can lead to disaster. Worrying does not solve anything
That is why Jesus commanded us not to worry about our life. The
unbelievers, including unbelieving Christians, are destroyed through
worrying.

The storms of life will come against
all of us, but if we do not act on the words of Jesus, we will be
like a man who built his house on the sand, the storm will come
against that house and destroy it because it has no firm foundation.
We can make our best plans, and do all we know to prevent disaster,
hardship and loss, but only Jesus can save, deliver and heal us.

We have to put our trust in Jesus, and
therefor we must OBEY Him, to experience His protection, deliverance
and provision. The moment that you start worrying, satan has disarmed
you and you are at his mercy to steal from you, rob you and destroy
you.

When people get a pain, they often run
straight to the doctor, which will cost them money. The doctor might
send them for tests and scans, which cost even more money. They
trust the doctor for a diagnoses, which is often wrong, which leads
to further actions, treatments, surgeries. Do not trust them to go
for the cheapest remedy. As long as you can pay, or generate funds to
pay, they will do anything to treat you, often unnecessary. If you
die in the process, they will not lose, they will get their money
from your estate and your loved ones who are left behind, will be
impoverished. Certainly, there are good doctors, but most people are
selfish and only care for themselves. In any business a customer who
can pay is a potential to make money. Doctors and hospitals have
bills to pay. They will gladly take your money. Your sickness will be
paying for it. If you put your trust in man, you will be destroyed.
It is written:” This is what the LORD says:

“Cursed is the man who trusts in
mankind,

who makes the flesh his strength

and turns his heart from the LORD.

6He
will be like a shrub in the desert;

he will not see when prosperity comes.

He will dwell in the parched places of
the desert,

in a salt land where no one lives.”
Jeremiah 17:5,6.

Jesus said: “For this reason I say
to you, do not be worried about your life, as to what you
will eat or what you will drink; nor for your body, as to what
you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than
clothing? 26“Look
at the birds of the air, that they do not sow, nor reap nor gather
into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are
you not worth much more than they? 27“And
who of you by being worried can add a single hour to his
life? 28“And
why are you worried about clothing? Observe how the lilies of the
field grow; they do not toil nor do they spin, 29yet
I say to you that not even Solomon in all his glory clothed himself
like one of these. 30“But
if God so clothes the grass of the field, which is alive today
and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, will He not much
more clothe you? You of little faith! 31“Do
not worry then, saying, ‘What will we eat?’ or ‘What will we
drink?’ or ‘What will we wear for clothing?’ 32“For
the Gentiles eagerly seek all these things; for your heavenly Father
knows that you need all these things. 33“But
seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things
will be added to you.      34“So
do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each
day has enough trouble of its own.” Matthew 6:25-34.

What should the believer do? When the
storm comes, DO NOT WORRY. Trust in Jesus. Run to Jesus. Ask His
guidance, seek His will, seek His help. Pray, wait on Him. Refuse to
worry. Praise Jesus, while you wait on Him. Keep your focus on Jesus.
Jesus is greater than everything. He can and will answer our prayer.

May Jesus bless you.
