I WILL NOT DIE BUT LIVE

     “I will not die, but live,

            And tell of the works of the LORD.

      The LORD has disciplined me severely,
            But He has not given me over to death.” Psalm 118:17,18.

I am a temple of the Holy Spirit, for
Him to dwell in. Jesus called me to preach the gospel of the kingdom
of God, which is His kingdom. He is God. He called me to make
disciples and teach them to obey His commandments, to listen to His
voice and follow Him. I am here to do His will and bring glory to
Him. I am His servant and I am in His hand. The devil cannot touch
me.

I have been through many trials and
tribulations. I have been to hell and back. I have been through pain,
suffering and sickness. I have been through the fire, the Holy Spirit
Fire of purification. He is the Potter, I am the clay. He forms me
and makes me as He pleases. I am a branch, grafted into the True
Vine. I can only bear fruit as long as I stay in Him. He will prune
me, so that I can bear more fruit. I have been disciplined many times
and I expect that discipline to continue, until the end, because I am
my Father’s child, and He cares for me. He knows just what I need
and He teaches me His ways. He guides me in the paths of
righteousness and He leads me to fruitfulness.

Many have spoken
evil against me and said: ”He is done.” Some cursed me and spoke
condemnation and death over me. Others wrote me and said I am under
the judgment of God because doctors have diagnosed me with cancer.
Some kind people sent me remedies, recipes and special diets. It is
good to eat healthy and look after our bodies, but it is Jesus who
keeps us alive and heals us, not medication, special diets and
regimens. I believe in Jesus, not in doctors, men and substances. Man
will not live of bread alone, but from every word that proceeds from
the mouth of God. My life is in His hand. I know His voice and I
follow Him. By His stripes I AM healed. In Him I HAVE the victory.

“1Bless
the LORD, O my soul,
            And
all that is within me, bless His holy name.

     2Bless
the LORD, O my soul,
            And
forget none of His benefits;

    3Who
pardons all your iniquities,
            Who
heals all your diseases;

      4Who
redeems your life from the pit,
            Who
crowns you with lovingkindness and compassion;

      5Who
satisfies your years with good things,
            So
that your youth is renewed like the eagle.” Psalm 103:1-5.

That is my Jesus, my Lord, my King, my
God.

Do you know Jesus? Have you met Him? Do
you follow and serve Him? Is He your Lord?

May Jesus bless you.

ARE YOU PREPARED TO DIE?

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

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

Jesus Christ Himself is the final judge
of all men. We read in 2 Corinthians 5:10 “For we must all appear
before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may be
recompensed for his deeds in the body, according to what he has done,
whether good or bad.” We also read the words of the apostle Paul in
Romans 2:6-11 “God...WILL RENDER TO EACH PERSON ACCORDING TO
HIS DEEDS: 7to those who by perseverance in doing good seek
for glory and honor and immortality, eternal life; 8but to those
who are selfishly ambitious and do not obey the truth, but obey
unrighteousness, wrath and indignation. 9There will
be tribulation and distress for every soul of man who does evil,
of the Jew first and also of the Greek, 10but glory and honor
and peace to everyone who does good, to the Jew first and also to the
Greek. 11For there is no partiality with God.”

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

Many people will die today but very few
are prepared to die and face judgment. Many choose not to believe the
truth and prepare. Others are complacent and believe that they still
have much time left. Many are deceived by false doctrines. They are
just religious. They believe in Jesus for salvation but they do not
know nor obey Him. They believe that they are saved by grace, they
keep on sinning and live worldly lives but they will end up in hell
if they do not repent and obey Jesus. Jesus warned that He will send
many believers to hell. He said:”15“Beware of the false prophets,
who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravenous
wolves.16“You will know them by their fruits. Grapes are not
gathered from thorn bushes nor figs from thistles, are
they? 17“So every good tree bears good fruit, but the bad tree
bears bad fruit. 18“A good tree cannot produce bad fruit, nor
can a bad tree produce good fruit. 19“Every tree that does not
bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20“So
then, you will know them by their fruits.

      21“Not everyone who says to
Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who
does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter. 22“Many
will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in
Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform
many miracles?’ 23“And then I will declare to them, ‘I
never knew you; DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE
LAWLESSNESS.’” Matthew 7:15-23.


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


The words of Jesus are the words of eternal life. Those who
disobey Jesus will perish. His words are recorded in Matthew, Mark,
Luke and John. Jesus said:“Therefore everyone who hears these words
of Mine and acts on them, may be compared to a wise man who built his
house on the rock. 25“And the rain fell, and the floods came,
and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and yet it
did not fall, for it had been founded on the rock. 26“Everyone
who hears these words of Mine and does not act on them, will be like
a foolish man who built his house on the sand. 27“The rain
fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against
that house; and it fell—and great was its fall.” Matthew 7:24-27.


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


May Jesus bless you.

You will die - The end is near

You will die, my friend, and I will also die. It is appointed for man to die once and thereafter comes judgment. We are not going to live for ever, that is for sure. Neither is this world going to last for ever. This world with all it's pleasures is passing away. It is being depleted. They are talking about global warming. The resources of this world are being depleted. This world is being polluted, used up, destroyed. It is not going to last. It is coming to an end. But before this world comes to an end we might just come to an end. We might just die before that happens and my friend, then eternity waits, but eternity is reality because it is appointed for man to die once and thereafter comes judgment. But the wonderful news is that the Creator of all this, God Almighty, is inviting us to become immortal, like He is immortal, so that we can be united with Him and live for ever.
It is written:"This world and it's pleasures are passing away but those who do the will of God will live forever." My friend, the only way that we can escape death, eternal death, is by accepting Jesus Christ as our King and our Lord and our Master because we are perishable, but through Christ this perishable can be exchanged for that which cannot perish, for eternal life in Christ Jesus and that is REALITY. What we see and feel, our flesh, that can perish and it will perish, that is for certain, but what is not perishable is SPIRIT. God is SPIRIT. He is the Father of all spirits and He has given us a spirit and our spirit is separated from the Spirit of God by sin, because God hates sin. He is pure. We can be united with God and live for ever but we have got to get rid of sin. We can come back into the presence of God like Adam was separated from the presence of God because of sin.
Jesus Christ came to take away the sins of the world, my friend and He will take away your sin and mine IF we OBEY Him, if we accept Him as our Lord, as our KING , as our utmost absolute Master and we serve Him then He will unite us with God the Father. He is the LINK. He died on a cross on Calvary to take away our sins and He will decide who will cross that barrier from death unto life.
If we accept Him as our Lord and Master He pulls us from death unto life BUT we have got to stay with Him. Many people have accepted Jesus and now they believe they are SAVED, they are NOT. We are saved if we ENDURE in that relationship with Him until the end, but if that relationship dies then we die with it and we are eternally DAMNED.
My friend, there is only ONE WAY to escape eternal death and damnation and that is Jesus Christ but you don't only need to believe in Him you have got to OBEY Him and you have got to form a SPIRITUAL UNION because when you invite Jesus to be your Lord and Master, when you accept Him as God and King, then you SUBMIT yourself to Him and you start listening to Him. He, His Spirit unites with your spirit, His spirit comes and lives in you with your spirit but then you have got to OBEY Him and just as you have been and you are born with a conscience His Spirit comes and lives in you more and more as you obey Him more and more and you grow into unity with Him. The majority of people do not grow into a unity with Christ. They connect with Christ and then they sever again, then they divorce and they are for ever lost and the majority of Christians are going to have a very sad surprise when one day Jesus will say to them:"Go away I never knew you," because they met Him, maybe. they heard about Him, they believed in Him, they asked Him for forgiveness of sins and then they believed they were saved and they went back into their former lifestyle, they did not follow Him.
Jesus calls us into that relationship with Him where we get to KNOW Him, we become spiritual people and where we override our natural urges and our natural nature which is SINFUL, we override it, we deny it, we say I WILL NOT SIN, I WILL NOT DO WHAT I WANT TO DO, I WILL OBEY CHRIST. Then my spirit becomes alive and I grow spiritually. I grow into that relationship with Jesus Christ where I HEAR His VOICE and I LISTEN to Him every moment of my life, UNTIL I am finally united with Him at death, because then this body falls away, it dies but my spirit is alive because I have connected with Jesus Christ.
Now the question I want to ask you, my friend is: Did you connect with Jesus Christ? Did you find the King? Did you find LIFE? Did you find the Master? And then , did you STAY with Him and has that relationship grown? Have you grown into Christ? Or do you just believe that you are saved but you don't know Him
He says:"My sheep know My voice and they LISTEN to Me." Do you know His voice and listen to Him? Are you actively in a close relationship with Jesus where you are following Him, where you are utterly focused on Him every moment of your life? Is Jesus Christ your LIFE? If He is not than you are spiritually dying or dead, my friend.
Jesus is LIFE. You have got to get into that close relationship with Him and STAY with Him and that relationship must GROW until you are utterly LOST into Christ, where His mind permeates you, where his Spirit permeates you, where your spirit becomes ALIVE and you deny your flesh.You are not interested in your natural urges and lusts and desires any more.
This body is useless but the spirit is life and God puts life in us when we connect with Him through Jesus Christ and we grow that relationship with Him where we get to know Him better and better every day.
My friend, to have friends is of little benefit but to know God is of eternal benefit and to take your friends to Jesus, to be united with Him into eternal existence. Have you got the hope of eternal existence or are you still spiritually severed and dead, destined for eternal extinction and damnation in hell? There is only one way, my friend, and that is ACCEPT Jesus as your Lord and Master, turn away from sin and from self, your own selfish nature and become UNITED with Him in SPIRITUAL UNISON where you hear His voice and you follow Him every moment of your life. Jesus Christ is LIFE. Get to know Him, my friend, before it is for ever too late, before that silver thread is cut and you die and you are LOST into eternal damnation.
May Jesus bless you.

DIE TO SIN

The Christian world has been brainwashed to think that you can live in sin. Many confess to be SINNERS. You cannot live for Jesus Christ AND live in sin. You have to DIE TO SIN before you can follow Jesus Christ.
The apostle Paul writes in Romans 6:1:”What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin that grace may increase? 2May it never be! How shall WE WHO DIED TO SIN still live in it? 3Or do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus have been baptized into His death? 4Therefore we have been buried with Him through baptism into death, so that as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we too might walk in newness of life.”
We cannot life for Jesus unless we DIE TO SIN and we consider ourselves DEAD TO SIN. Therefor once we have committed to follow Jesus Christ we HAVE TO BE BAPTIZED IN WATER to publicly confess that we have DIED TO SIN and therefor we bury the old man of sin in that water so that from the water can arise a NEW CREATURE who follows Jesus Christ IN HIS LIKENESS, who becomes LIKE HIM, who lives FOR the kingdom of God. We cannot continue living in sin, we have to DIE TO SIN  before we can follow Jesus Christ.
Verse 5:”For if we have become united with Him in the likeness of His death, certainly we shall also be in the likeness of His resurrection, 6knowing this, that our old self was crucified with Him, that our body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer live as slaves to sin;”

Many believers confess that THEY CANNOT STOP SINNING, it is because they never died to sin. They are not children of God, they are children of the devil and they cannot follow Jesus Christ because they are LIVING IN SIN and they are living TO SIN.

Verse 7:”for he who has died is freed from sin.
      8Now if we have died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him, 9knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, is never to die again; death no longer is master over Him. 10For the death that He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life that He lives, He lives to God. 11Even so CONSIDER YOURSELVES TO BE DEAD TO SIN, but ALIVE TO GOD in Christ Jesus.
      12Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its lusts, 13and do not go on presenting the members of your body to sin as instruments of unrighteousness; but present yourselves to God as those alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God.”

We cannot live in sin. We have to consider ourselves DEAD TO SIN and present our bodies as a living sacrifice to Christ Jesus to LIVE IN RIGHTEOUSNESS AND HOLINESS.

Verse 14:”For SIN SHALL NOT BE MASTER OVER YOU, for you are not under law but under grace.”
The grace of God makes us FREE FROM THE BONDAGE OF SIN.

Verse 15:”What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? May it never be! 16Do you not know that when you present yourselves to someone as slaves for obedience, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of sin resulting in death, or of obedience resulting in righteousness? 17But thanks be to God that though YOU WERE SLAVES OF SIN, YOU BECAME OBEDIENT FROM THE HEART to that form of teaching to which you were committed, 18and having been freed from sin, YOU BECAME SLAVES OF RIGHTEOUSNESS. “

Are you FREE FROM SIN? Are you a slave to righteousness or have you not yet died to sin? Because then you cannot follow Jesus Christ. We have to DIE TO SIN before we can live for Jesus Christ and the kingdom of God.
Paul writes in verse 23:”For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” If we sin we must die. Jesus Christ GIVES eternal life to those who OBEY Him. We cannot EARN eternal life. We have to DIE TO SIN and then LIVE FOR JESUS CHRIST and He will GIVE us the gift of eternal life.
May Jesus bless you.

No Second Chance AFTER DEATH

The moment that we die our fate is sealed. There is not second chance after death. It is destined for man to die once and then to face judgment. As we lived, so shall we die. If we did not live WITH and FOR Jesus Christ we will not be with Him for eternity. If we wasted our lives on our own endeavors and rejected Jesus Christ then He will also deny and reject us when we stand before Him in judgment. If we do not know Him now, do not listen to Him and follow Him and do not live to please Him then He will turn us away, He will say to us:”Go away I never knew you, you workers of wickedness.”

If we want to have eternal life we have to COMMIT to FOLLOW and OBEY Jesus Christ right NOW. We have to now already SERVE Him as King, Lord and Master. If we do not become part of His Kingdom right now and submit to Him as our Lord, our King and our Master we will not have the opportunity to do so once we die.

There is no purgatory, there is no second chance. NOW is the day of salvation. We have to follow Jesus NOW or we will spend eternity away from Him in damnation.

May Jesus bless you
