FULL TIME JESUS


Jesus gives eternal life
to those who receive Him, obey Him and follow Him until the end. The
89unbelievers follow their own desires, ambitions and lusts. If we
wish to have eternal life, we have to abandon our own mind and fully
submit to Jesus. We need to receive and obey the mind of Christ.
How will we receive the
mind of Christ? We need to be born again. How is a person born again?
By receiving Jesus. Accept Him to be your Lord and Master and invite
Him into your life, give your life to Him to live in obedience to
Him. The transformation takes place in your mind when you go on your
knees before Jesus in prayer, submit yourself to Him and commit to
follow and obey Him for the rest of your life.
The kingdom of God is not
words, but action. If you receive Jesus into your life you have to
take action and obey His commandments, His words as recorded in
Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Repent, turn away from sin and from
your own selfish desires. If you have received Jesus into your heart,
you will immediately be convicted of all sin because Jesus writes His
laws in your heart. Immediately stop doing those things, get rid of
the things that cause you to sin, abandon them. Be baptized in water
as Jesus commanded. Jesus promised to come and live in you, to give
of His Spirit in you if you CLEANSE YOURSELF.
Having repented of sin and
having your body washed of uncleanliness through baptism, you are
ready to receive the Holy Spirit so that Jesus can dwell in you. The
Holy Spirit does not dwell in an unholy vessel. One thing you have to
understand beforehand: YOU CANNOT FOLLOW JESUS PART TIME. You have to
be TOTALLY COMMITTED, DEDICATED and DEVOTED. You have to ABSOLUTELY
obey Him, or else you cannot be part of His kingdom. Straight is the
gate, NARROW is the way and few there be that find it.
You need the Holy Spirit
dwelling in you. You need to LISTEN, FOLLOW and OBEY Him, totally
FULL TIME.
Seek the Holy Spirit
baptism, as it was given on the day of Pentecost. You will speak in
tongues when the Holy Spirit comes on you. You will be able to speak
in tongues and pray in tongues at any time, if you have received the
Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit will pray through you according to the
will of God, when you pray in tongues, as 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.”
You
need the Holy Spirit. Without the Holy Spirit we cannot know nor do
the will of God. We cannot even pray according to the will of God. We
need to be led by the Holy Spirit in all things. We need to seek and
follow His guidance to be fruitful for the kingdom of God. “For
all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.”
Romans 8:14.
The
Holy Spirit filled believer receives guidance through PRAYER,
constantly praying in the Spirit day and night, FULL TIME. You can be
praying in the Spirit at all times during the day, even if your mind
is occupied with your daily tasks because:”

14For
if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my mind is unfruitful.”
1 Corinthians 14:14.
The
Holy Spirit will guide you in all things, work, marriage,
relationships, where to live, what to do, and He will warn you when
you go wrong. “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.
We have to follow Jesus
FULL TIME, until the end, and not allow ourselves to be distracted.
Jesus said:”

27“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. No one can snatch
us out of His hand, but we have to STAY in His hand, STAY with Him
and not stray from Him. David, man of God, wrote Psalm 23:
1The
LORD is my shepherd,
            I
shall not want.
      2He
makes me lie down in green pastures;
            He
leads me beside quiet waters.
      3He
restores my soul;
            He
guides me in the paths of righteousness
            For
His name’s sake.
      4Even
though I walk through the valley of the shadow of
death,
            I
fear no evil, for You are with me;
            Your
rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
      5You
prepare a table before me in the presence of my
enemies;
            You
have anointed my head with oil;
            My
cup overflows.
      6Surely
goodness and lovingkindness will follow me all the days of my
life,
            And
I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.”
This is the situation of
the Lord’s sheep, those who are filled with the Holy Spirit, who
listen to His voice and follow Him. However, many profess to be
Christians, but they do not HEAR nor LISTEN to His voice, neither do
they follow Him. THEY ARE NOT HIS SHEEP!
Are we His sheep? Do we
know Jesus? Does He know us? Do we LISTEN to Him, FOLLOW and OBEY Him
FULL TIME? Is Jesus our life or we are just foolishly practicing
religion?
May Jesus bless you.
