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.

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.

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

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.

THE FALSE GRACE GOSPEL IS NOT THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST


There are many gospels being preached in churches, such as the grace gospel,
salvation by faith alone, and keeping the Law of Moses. The only
gospel that saves from sin and leads to eternal life, is the gospel
of Jesus Christ, which is the gospel of the Kingdom of God. It was
first preached by John the baptist and by Jesus Christ.
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.

We read
in Mark 1:1"The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son
of God.
      2As it is written in Isaiah
the prophet:
          
“BEHOLD, I SEND MY MESSENGER AHEAD OF YOU,
          
WHO WILL PREPARE YOUR WAY;
      3THE
VOICE OF ONE CRYING IN THE WILDERNESS,
          
‘MAKE READY THE WAY OF THE LORD,
          
MAKE HIS PATHS STRAIGHT.’”
4John the Baptist appeared in the
wilderness preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of
sins. 5And all the country of Judea was going out to him, and all the
people of Jerusalem; and they were being baptized by him in the
Jordan River, confessing their sins. 6John was clothed with camel’s
hair and wore a leather belt around his waist, and his diet was
locusts and wild honey. 7And he was preaching, and saying, “After
me One is coming who is mightier than I, and I am not fit to stoop
down and untie the thong of His sandals. 8“I baptized you with
water; but He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.”
Verse
14"Now after John had been taken into custody, Jesus came into
Galilee, preaching the gospel of God, 15and saying, “The time is
fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in
the gospel.”
It is the same gospel that Jesus commanded the
disciples to preach. We read in Mark 16:15-18 And He said to them,
“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.'
It is the same gospel that
Peter preached on the day of Pentecost: Acts 2:38-41. "38Peter
said to them, “Repent, and each of you be baptized in the name of
Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive
the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39“For the promise is for you and your
children and for all who are far off, as many as the Lord our God
will call to Himself.” 40And with many other words he solemnly
testified and kept on exhorting them, saying, “Be saved from this
perverse generation!” 41So then, those who had received his word
were baptized; and that day there were added about three thousand
souls."
Dear friend, do you receive and believe the gospel of
Jesus Christ? Have you repented and been baptized as Jesus commanded,
or do you believe another gospel, a false gospel?
If you want
eternal life, you have to obey the gospel of Jesus Christ, the gospel
of the Kingdom of God. There is no other. Jesus is the Way, obey and
follow Him until the end, and you will have LIFE.
May Jesus bless
you.

YOU WILL BE DISCIPLINED


Every born again child of God will be
disciplined. The Father loves us and wants every child to share in
His holiness. Therefor He will discipline and train us, correct us so
that we can learn His ways and walk in His ways.
Many Christians
do not recognize the hand of God. Others reject His discipline and
refuse to be corrected, and therefor they perish, like Esau, who was
a fornicator.
None describes the discipline of the Father
better than the writer of Hebrews in Hebrews 12:4-17
"4You
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.

      14Pursue peace with all
men, and the sanctification without which no one will see the Lord.
15See to it that no one comes short of the grace of God; that no root
of bitterness springing up causes trouble, and by it many be
defiled;16that there be no immoral or godless person like Esau, who
sold his own birthright for a single meal. 17For you know that even
afterwards, when he desired to inherit the blessing, he was rejected,
for he found no place for repentance, though he sought for it with
tears."

Do we recognize the hand of God? Are we
submitting to His discipline? Or do we despise Him, reject Him and
run after the pleasures of sin and the ways of the world. Are we
taking chances? Do we indulge in deliberate sin even though we know
that it is wrong? Because one sin, one misstep can cost you your
salvation, like it cost Esau his birth right. One fornication, one
sin, can separate you from God because you despise His grace and His
mercy that leads you to repentance and holiness. Very few will be
saved. Very few will endure with Jesus and serve Him until the end.
Are we one of those faithful and obedient children of God that submit
to His discipline and serve Him until the end?

May Jesus bless
you.

MANY WILL BE PURIFIED


We read in the book of Daniel 12:10
that in the end time “Many will be purged, purified and refined,
but the wicked will act wickedly; and none of the wicked will
understand, but those who have insight will understand."
There
is a spirit of wickedness in churches. Many of them proclaim that we
are all sinners and that it is impossible to stop sinning and be
holy. However, they are of satan, because without holiness no one
will see the Lord.
We read in Revelation 22:11 “Let the
one who does wrong, still do wrong; and the one who is filthy, still
be filthy; and let the one who is righteous, still practice
righteousness; and the one who is holy, still keep himself
holy.”
      12“Behold, I am coming
quickly, and My reward is with Me, to render to every man according
to what he has done. 13“I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and
the last, the beginning and the end.”
   
14Blessed are those who wash their robes, so that they may have the
right to the tree of life, and may enter by the gates into the city.
15Outside are the dogs and the sorcerers and the immoral persons and
the murderers and the idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices
lying."
Many of the true followers of Jesus,  the called
out ones, who are not part of the worldly fornicating churches, are
being purified to be pure and holy. Many are going through pain,
sickness, trials and tribulations in order to be refined. They are
going through the smelters fire of the Holy Spirit, so that in the
end they will be pure like silver.
The wicked, even the false
Christians,  do not understand this. They even mock the true
followers of Jesus,  in their suffering. They do not understand
that Jesus is preparing His bride to be pure and spotless.
Let us
remind ourselves of the words of Peter 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, 2so as to live the rest of the time in the flesh no longer
for the lusts of men, but for the will of God." Suffering leads
to holiness.
Have you been called out by Jesus?  Are you
following Him in obedience and holiness while enduring much pain and
suffering? Are you being cleansed, purged and purified by the mighty
loving hand of the Master?
Hold on, dear fellow pilgrim. Stay with
Jesus. Do not give up, do not despair. Allow Him to work perfection
in you. Many will be purified. Are you one of them?
May Jesus
bless you.

CONFESSION IS NOT ENOUGH YOU MUST REPENT


Many believers keep on confessing the
same sins over and over. They go back to the same sins with the
intention of confessing later.  They never repented.
God
forgives those who repent and turn from their sin, but those who
continue in their sin will perish. The wages of sin is death.
We
read in 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 "Or do you not know that the
unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived;
neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate,
nor homosexuals, 10nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor
revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God. 11Such were
some of you; but you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you
were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit
of our God."
Jesus said that every tree that does not bear
good fruit will get cut off and burned. As long as you keep on
sinning, you are in danger of hell fire. Repent  and stop
sinning or you will perish. Without holiness no one will see the
Lord.
May Jesus bless you.

THE SHEEP WILL BE SCATTERED


Last night, the Lord showed me the
leadership's of many churches, conspiring, for their own welfare and
preservation. Then I heard in my spirit: "The sheep will be
scattered." The leaders of church organizations are following
after the antichrist one world religious system, under leadership of
the false prophet,  roman catholic Pope. They are betraying the
believers.
Very few of the Lord's sheep are following Him. Many
have been born again,  but then they followed the church
leadership,  the pastors and preachers.  They are not
following Jesus. They listen to their pastors, not to Jesus. They do
not hear His voice because they have shut their ears and turned their
back to Him. Disaster is coming. They have been betrayed by their
pastors. Christians will  be persecuted. Churches will be closed
and burned down. Their leadership will run from them, leaving the
sheep unattended, scattered.
Those who don't follow Jesus and do
not hear His voice will be devastated. They will realize too late
that they have been feeding and following the wolves, they were not
following the true Shepherd,  Jesus Christ.
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 HEAR
His voice, and do you follow Him,  or do you follow after
men and women who will betray you? Will you be safe with the Shepherd
or will you be scattered and destroyed?
May Jesus bless you.

WHY SINNING CHRISTIANS ARE NOT BORN AGAIN


Many Christian believers are not born
again. They are sinners and have a sinful nature. Sinners will not
enter the kingdom of heaven.  That is why you need to be born
again, born of God,  to be a child of God.
We read in 1
John 3:9 " 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."
We read in 2
Peter 1:1 "Simon Peter, a bond-servant and apostle of Jesus
Christ,  To those who have received a faith of the same kind as
ours, by the righteousness of our God and Savior, Jesus Christ:
2Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of
Jesus our Lord; 3seeing that His divine power has granted to us
everything pertaining to life and godliness, through the true
knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and excellence. 4For
by these He has granted to us His precious and magnificent promises,
so that by them you may become partakers of the divine nature, having
escaped the corruption that is in the world by lust. 5Now for this
very reason also, applying all diligence, in your faith supply moral
excellence, and in your moral excellence, knowledge, 6and in your
knowledge, self-control, and in your self-control, perseverance, and
in your perseverance, godliness, 7and in your godliness, brotherly
kindness, and in your brotherly kindness, love. 8For if these
qualities are yours and are increasing, they render you neither
useless nor unfruitful in the true knowledge of our Lord Jesus
Christ. 9For he who lacks these qualities is blind or short-sighted,
having forgotten his purification from his former sins. 10Therefore,
brethren, be all the more diligent to make certain about His calling
and choosing you; for as long as you practice these things, you will
never stumble; 11for in this way the entrance into the eternal
kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will be abundantly
supplied to you."
Those who have been  born again
demonstrate by their way of living, that they have a new nature, a
divine nature. They are not sinners any more.
Are you born again?
Have you acquired the divine nature? Are you a child of God?
May
Jesus bless you.

THE POWER OF THE GOSPEL


The gospel of Jesus Christ is the only
gospel that turns sinners into saints, that makes them NEW, born
again children of God. The power of the gospel is demonstrated in a
NEW CREATURE.  A person who has believed and obeyed the gospel
is not a sinner any more, he does not sin. He hates sin and avoids it
at all cost.
Jesus came to take away the sins of the world.
He takes away the guilt of sin for those who believe in Him and
therefor obey Him. He justifies them.
The power of the gospel only
saves those who obey Him and REPENT of their sins, who have sorrow,
regret and remorse over their sins and plead Jesus to save them,
forgive their past sins.
Where there is no repentance and no
sorrow over sin, there is no salvation. Such a person stays in his
sin and will die in his sin.
Jesus saves sinners who REPENT with
godly sorrow, turn from their evil ways, are baptized in water for
the washing off of their sin, and sin no more,  but live holy
lives in obedience to Jesus. Without holiness no one will see the
Lord.
Have you been transformed by the power of the gospel?
Did you repent of your sin or are you still a sinner on your way to
hell?
May Jesus bless you.

YOU MUST WANT TO CHANGE


Sinners will not enter the kingdom of
heaven. You need to become a saint, a child of God. You must be holy.
Without holiness no one will see the Lord.
You can change,
if you want to. Jesus can make you new, born again, a child of God,
if you want to. If you don't want to, nobody can force you.
If you
want to have eternal life, you need to change, you need to be born
again,  follow and obey Jesus and be holy.
Many Christians
believers say they cannot stop sinning. If you come to Jesus and ask
Him, He will make you free from the bondage of sin and addictions so
that you can obey Him, sin no more and be holy. However, if you
choose to go back to sin, Jesus will not stop you. You will once
again get entangled in the snares of sin and your end will be worse
than your beginning, you will become a worse sinner.
You can only
stay free from the bondage of sin if you stay with Jesus and stay
focused on Him. If you allow the lusts of the flesh to seduce you to
sin, you will be soiled, and will not be fit for heaven. Unless you
repent, from the heart, return to Jesus, stay with Him, and sin no
more, you will end up in hell.
To be holy is not easy. If you are
not determined to change, you will not become holy. You will perish
in your sin.
Do you WANT to change? Do you WANT to be holy? Do you
WANT eternal life?
May Jesus bless you.

WHAT YOU SHOULD BE WORRIED ABOUT


There is only one thing that we should
be concerned about and that is our relationship with Jesus. Without
Jesus we can do nothing.  Without Jesus our life has no
direction or purpose and we are heading for destruction.
Jesus
said:  25“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 towhat 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.
Most
professing Christians do not understand the kingdom of God and do not
know the King, because they never met Him. Jesus Christ is King. He
is Lord. If you have accepted Him as Lord and serve Him, He will show
you His kingdom.  If you follow Him,  He will take care of
you. He will guide and teach you and He will supply in all your
needs.  That is why the only thing that you need to be concerned
about always, is your relationship with Jesus.
Obey His
teachings and commandments as recorded in Matthew, Mark, Luke and
John. He will come and dwell with you and will disclose Himself to
you. If you disobey Jesus and stray from Him, you are in danger of
hell fire.
Seek Jesus with all your power.  Accept Him,
obey Him. Repent and be baptized as He commanded.  Be holy. Sin
no more. Guard your relationship with Jesus.  Stay with Him
until the end and He will give you eternal life. All that you need to
worry about is keeping your relationship with Jesus right.
May
Jesus bless you.

INFIDELITY


Infidelity has become common, almost
widely accepted in the world. Fewer people get married and even those
who do are not faithful to each other. Neither do they stay together.
There is no commitment. Marriage vows have no meaning to most
people.
The same culture of infidelity has also taken over
Christian churches. There is no difference between believers and
unbelievers.  The world has changed,  churches have
changed,  but God never changed.
Christians think that they
can cheat their spouses and that they can cheat God. They think that
God does not see, neither does He care. They forget that Jesus said:
“You have heard that it was said, ‘YOU SHALL NOT COMMIT
ADULTERY’; 28but I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman
with lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his
heart. 29“If your right eye makes you stumble, tear it out and
throw it from you; for it is better for you to lose one of the parts
of your body, than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. 30“If
your right hand makes you stumble, cut it off and throw it from you;
for it is better for you to lose one of the parts of your body, than
for your whole body to go into hell.
31“It was said, ‘WHOEVER
SENDS HIS WIFE AWAY, LET HIM GIVE HER A CERTIFICATE OF DIVORCE’;32but
I say to you that everyone who divorces his wife, except for
unchastity, makes her commit adultery; and whoever marries a divorced
woman commits adultery." Matthew 5:27-32.
Are you an
adulterer? Do you watch pornography?  Do you lust after another
man or woman? Do you cheat on your spouse? Are you a fornicator or an
adulterer?
If you believe in Jesus,  you will fear Him and
obey His words, repent and sin no more, but if you believe the false
preachers in the churches you will stay in your sin and be thrown
into hell.
No sinners will enter heaven. Without holiness no one
will see the Lord.
May Jesus bless you.

PROVE YOURSELF


Many believers say that they love Jesus
but they do not follow nor obey Him. Jesus said: " “He who has
My commandments and keeps them is the one who loves Me; and he who
loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and will
disclose Myself to him.” ... “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My
word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make
Our abode with him. 24“He who does not love Me does not keep My
words; and the word which you hear is not Mine, but the Father’s
who sent Me." John 14:21,23,24.
We prove our love for Jesus
by obeying Him, His words and His commandments, as recorded in the
gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. We also prove our love for
Jesus by following and serving Him. Jesus said:“If anyone serves
Me, he must follow Me; and where I am, there My servant will be
also;"John 12:26.
If we really love Jesus, we will absolutely
obey Him, do as He commanded,  repent  and be baptized, and
go after Him, listen to His voice and follow Him. We will be where He
wants us to be, doing His will.
If we disobey Jesus and refuse to
follow  Him, we prove that we do not love Him, and are not
worthy of Him.
Many believers think they can serve Jesus by
being religious, according to their own plans and visions but they
are mistaken,  we can only serve Jesus and be fruitful for the
kingdom of heaven, if we listen to Him and follow His guidance.
Jesus
discloses Himself to those who prove that they love Him, by obeying
Him. He gives His Holy Spirit in them to be with them, to teach and
guide them. They experience His presence all the time.
Have you
proven your love for Jesus by obeying Him, and are you proving your
love for Him, by following and serving Him?
May Jesus bless you.

THE FALSE SECURITY OF CHURCH


None of your church leaders or church
friends will be with you when you stand before Jesus in judgment.
You will stand before Jesus and He will decide whether you enter
heaven or not. His judgment will be based on whether you knew and
obeyed Him or not.
Jesus 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 ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS.’ Matthew
7:21-23.
All that matters is our relationship with Jesus.  If
we accept and serve Him as Lord,  we have the hope of eternal
life.
Many people have been deceived by churches. They think that
their church membership and fellowship with other believers is
important for their salvation. They feel safe and secure in church
and with church people. They think that by supporting and giving
money to the church they are serving God. They are not. They are
enriching the church and it's leadership.
Church is a
scam. God does not dwell in churches, He dwells in those who obey Him
and follow Jesus. They are a temple of the Holy Spirit. God is
Spirit.  He makes of His Spirit,  the Holy Spirit,  to
dwell in those who accept and obey Jesus. They become born again,
children of God, who hear His voice,  listen to Him and follow
Him. They serve the kingdom of God.
The only secure place is to be
with Jesus, to follow and obey Him.
Do you know Jesus? Does
He know you? Do you know His voice and are you following Him?
May
Jesus bless you.
