EXPERIENCE JESUS EVERY DAY Holy Spirit Baptism and Indwelling

Many believers seek the baptism in the

Holy Spirit as a token and guarantee of salvation. They hear about
the experience that others had when they received the baptism in the
Holy Spirit and they desire it for themselves also. They also desire
the ability to speak in tongues, as those do that have received the
Holy Spirit baptism. What many do not understand is that the Baptism
in the Holy Spirit is promised to ALL who wish to follow Jesus, not
just as a once off experience but the Indwelling of the Spirit with
subsequent manifestations of the Holy Spirit in and through them.

We read the words of Peter on the day
of Pentecost 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.”

The people did not understand what was
happening when the Holy Spirit was given and Peter explained it to
them. Acts 2:15-21“For
these men are not drunk, as you suppose, for it is only the
third hour of the day; 16but
this is what was spoken of through the prophet Joel:

      17‘AND
IT SHALL BE IN THE LAST DAYS,’ God says,
            ‘THAT I WILL
POUR FORTH OF MY SPIRIT ON ALL MANKIND;
            AND
YOUR SONS AND YOUR DAUGHTERS SHALL PROPHESY,
            AND
YOUR YOUNG MEN SHALL SEE VISIONS,
            AND
YOUR OLD MEN SHALL DREAM DREAMS;

      18EVEN
ON MY BONDSLAVES, BOTH MEN AND WOMEN,
            I WILL
IN THOSE DAYS POUR FORTH OF MY SPIRIT
            And
they shall prophesy.

      19‘AND I WILL
GRANT WONDERS IN THE SKY ABOVE
            AND
SIGNS ON THE EARTH BELOW,
            BLOOD, AND
FIRE, AND VAPOR OF SMOKE.

      20‘THE
SUN WILL BE TURNED INTO DARKNESS
            AND
THE MOON INTO BLOOD,
            BEFORE
THE GREAT AND GLORIOUS DAY OF THE LORD SHALL COME.

      21‘AND
IT SHALL BE THAT EVERYONE WHO CALLS ON THE NAME OF THE LORD
WILL BE SAVED.’

When Jesus gave His disciples the Great
Commission prior to ascending to heaven He told them about the signs
that would follow, the manifestations of the Holy Spirit that those
would experience who obey the gospel. 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.”

Those who believe
and obey the gospel of Jesus will experience Him every day, if they
stay with Him and keep following and obeying Him. The signs that
Jesus spoke about will follow them. They will speak in new tongues,
lay their hands on the sick and they will recover, cast our demons,
prophesy, see visions and dream dreams. The Holy Spirit baptism
should not be a once off occurrence where the believer speaks in
tongues and then walks away. We can only experience Jesus and bear
fruit for His kingdom if we stay with Him, walk with Him, every day.

Do not just seek for an experience.
Seek Jesus. Obey and follow Him and you will experience Him every
day.

May Jesus bless you.

Follow Jesus EVERY Day

To be a Christian means to
be a follower of Jesus Christ, not just a believer. We can only
follow Jesus if we experience Him for real. Those who are born again
of the Spirit of God experienced Jesus Christ in their spirit,
because those who are being led by the Spirit of God they are the
children of God. Many people believe in Jesus but they do not follow
Him. They cannot follow Him because they are not born again.

If we believe in Jesus
Christ and we obey His words, His commands; if we repent and we are
baptized in water, then we are born again and we experience Jesus. We
hear His voice and we see Hs kingdom in our spirit. Our spirit is
brought to life because God is spirit and we can only have communion
with Him in the spirit. The person who is not born again of the
Spirit of God cannot understand the things of God, cannot understand
the kingdom of God, He cannot see the kingdom of God and He does not
experience Jesus.

Many believers are not
born again. They read the scriptures and they try to live according
to the scriptures but they are not born again. At heart they are
sinners, at heart they are enemies of God because they have never
submitted themselves to Jesus. They have never become real in their
relationship with Him. They do not know Him. Many of them are Bible
teachers, and preachers, but they have no relationship with Jesus and
they cannot follow Him because they do not know Him. You cannot
follow Jesus from a book of rules, from reading the Bible, and
listening to other people, you need to be led by the Spirit of God.
Jesus gives his spirit in those who obey His gospel, His words, those
who are serious with Him, those who truly believe and those who seek
His guidance, those who seek Him for real. He manifests Himself to
them. They hear His voice in their spirit, they serve Him in their
spirit, and only they can follow Jesus Christ. We have to follow
Jesus Christ every day until the very end to enter His kingdom. If we
are not born again of the Spirit of God we cannot experience Jesus,
we cannot follow Him. We need to have that born-again experience,
where our spirit becomes alive to the Spirit of God so that we can
have communion with God, and we only get that experience when we
humble ourselves before Jesus, and we repent, obey His words, are
baptized in water. He will reveal Himself to us if we obey Him. He
will come and live in us and with us. He will guide us and He will
teach us and we must follow Him every day until the very end. Those
who are being led by the Spirit of God they are the children of God.

Are you a child of God?
Are you being led by the Spirit of God? Do you know Jesus Christ for
real? Do you follow and obey Him every day?

May Jesus bless you.

He will guide you every step of the way - Jesus

I want to tell you about
something very wonderful that Jesus Christ promised to all those who
believe in Him, but most Christians do not have it. Most Christian
believers have a church, they have a Bible and they believe they have
salvation, but they do not have this gift that Jesus promised to
those who obey Him.

He promised the Holy
Spirit who will guide them step-by-step every step of the way. Do you
believe Jesus? Do you believe that this gift is for you? Are you
being led by the Holy Spirit, step-by-step? I want to read for you
where Jesus promised this gift to His disciples. I read from John
16:5 But now I am going back to Him who sent Me and none of you asks
me: "Where are you going? But because I have said these things
to you, sorrow has filled your heart. But I tell you the truth, it 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 them to you and He,
when He comes will convict the world concerning sin, and
righteousness, and judgment; concerning sin because they do not
believe in Me, and concerning righteousness, because I go to the
Father and you no longer see Me, and concerning judgment because the
ruler of this world has been judged. I have many more things to say
to you, but you cannot bear them now, 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. He will glorify Me, for He will
take of Mine and will disclose it to you. All things that the Father
has are Mine. Therefore, I said that He takes of Mine and will
disclose it to you."

Jesus Christ promised the
Holy Spirit to His disciples and after He was crucified, and
resurrected, before He ascended to heaven, we read in Acts chapter
one, Jesus commanded them to go to Jerusalem and wait for the Holy
Spirit. We read in Acts chapter 2 where the Holy Spirit was given on
the day of Pentecost, and the promise is for all those who believe
in Jesus. I read from Acts chapter 2:38. "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, for the promise is for you and for your
children and for all who are far off, as many as the Lord our God
will call to Himself."

The promise is for you
also, and for me. Jesus promised that He will give His Holy Spirit in
us, to guide us, to teach us, to be with us, every step of the way.
Those who follow Jesus will never be in darkness because they are led
by the Holy Spirit. But most believers do not have the Holy Spirit.
Why is that? Do you believe that the Holy Spirit will guide you in
everything, in every aspect of your life, so that you can be pleasing
to God, and that you can live fruitfully, that you can serve your
purpose for which Jesus has called you, for which you were made?

Do you really believe that
the promise is for you, that He will guide you every step of the way?
The question is, are you being led by the Holy Spirit? Are you truly
a child of God? Have you received the Gift? Do you trust Him and do
you follow Him? Have you obeyed the gospel of Jesus Christ? Have you
repented and been baptized in water? Have you been born again? Have
you received the Gift of the Holy Spirit? That is what makes you a
child of God, when you are led by the Holy Spirit. And He promised it
to everyone who believes in Him. Many boast in their church, in their
salvation, that they believe that they have, based on scripture that
they quote. They just believe it but they have no proof, their proof
is the Bible. Take away the Bible, they've got no proof. The proof
that you are a child of God is whether you are being led by the
Spirit of God, whether you follow Jesus Christ, whether you have
received, Holy Spirit and whether you follow His guidance every day
of your life, every step of way. That is what Jesus called us for. He
said:"Follow me." We cannot follow Him without the Holy
Spirit,and that is why He promised the Holy Spirit to those who obey
Him, to those who obey the gospel, the words of Jesus; those who
repent turn away from sin, and are baptized in water, they will
receive the Holy Spirit.

But many Christians, many
believers are in sin. They are not following after Jesus, and sin
separates us from God. If you are in sin, the Holy Spirit will
convict you of your sin. You will not have the confidence to ask
Jesus for guidance, and you will not trust Him because you will not
believe that He will give you what is best for you. You will be going
after your own will, and after your own desires, and therefore you
will not trust God. But if you are submitted to Jesus, and you truly
seek the will of God then you will trust the guidance of the Holy
Spirit, then you will ask for the guidance of the Holy Spirit, you
will trust Him and you will follow Him, and thereby you will prove
that you are a child of God. You will not want to live without the
guidance of the Holy Spirit, you will not want to live without Jesus
living in you, because you will know that without Jesus you can do
nothing. You will seek His guidance and follow His guidance everyday,
every step of the way. He will guide you in all things, every step of
the way, every day of your life, until the very end, if you follow
Him.

Do you believe it? Do you
really believe the words of Jesus? Do you believe it's promised for
you? So dear friend, are you being led by the Spirit of God? Are you
a son of God, or are you just deceived and believe that you have
salvation but you have no relationship with Jesus, and you're not led
by the Holy Spirit. The promise is for you, and without Jesus,
without the guidance of the Holy Spirit, you are in darkness. Repent
of all your sins, your selfishness, your worldliness, your rebellion
against God, your dependence on yourself, and on other people, your
unwillingness and your doubt, and come to Jesus with a pure heart.
Obey His words, if you've never been baptized, (NOT SPRINKLED AS A
BABY), be baptized in water, and ask Him for His Holy Spirit. follow
the guidance of His Holy Spirit and He will guide you every step of
the way.

May Jesus bless you.

Make every effort to obey Jesus Christ

Many people profess to
be Christians and they believe that they have salvation because they
believe in Jesus Christ. Very few people will be saved. Very few
people will have eternal life.

Somebody asked Jesus
whether those who are being saved are few. I read His words from Luke
13:23,24.

“And someone said to
Him, “Lord, are there just a few who are being saved?”
And He said to them, “Strive to enter through the narrow door; for
many, I tell you, will seek to enter and will not be able.”

Not everybody will be
saved. It is only those who OBEY the gospel of Jesus Christ. What is
the gospel of Jesus Christ? The gospel of Jesus Christ is His words,
the words He taught as they are also recorded in the gospels,
Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Those are the words of eternal life and
Jesus also commanded his disciples to go and teach those words. We
read in Mark 16:15,16.

'And He said to them,
“Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. “He
who has believed and has been baptized shall be saved; but he who has
disbelieved shall be condemned.”'

Those who believe the
gospel of Jesus Christ are the ones who will OBEY the gospel of Jesus
Christ, who will OBEY His words, who will repent and will be baptized
in water and Jesus Christ will reveal Himself to them, He will
disclose Him self to them. He will give His Holy Spirit in them to
teach them and guide them and be with them every step of the way.
They will know Jesus Christ as He also promised.

I also read from the
gospels John 14:21. "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 we have the
commandments of Jesus, the gospel of Jesus Christ, as recorded in the
gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John and we OBEY His words, we
REPENT, are baptized in water and we seek Jesus with all out heart,
we OBEY His words, then He will reveal himself to us. He will give
His Holy Spirit in us and we will become ONE with Him. We must make
every effort to obey Jesus Christ. To obey Jesus Christ is extremely
difficult. We have to be absolutely determined and be willing to give
up everything else for the sake of obeying Jesus Christ and doing
what He commanded.

If we do not pick up
our cross every day and follow Jesus, then we will not have eternal
life. We will not find the narrow door. To pick up your cross means
to take up those commandments of Jesus Christ and to obey them, to
MAKE EVERY EFFORT to OBEY His words. And then He will REVEAL Himself
to you. You will get to KNOW Jesus Christ Himself for REAL. He will
guide you and He will teach you and He will give you eternal life IF
you make it through the narrow door.

Jesus Christ will say
to many who believed that they were saved, He will say to them:"Go
away I never knew you you workers of wickedness." They did not
OBEY His words, they did not REPENT, were not baptized in water,
never followed Jesus, never got to KNOW Him. They believed they were
saved. They were religious, they read their Bibles, they prayed, they
went to church, but they never stopped sinning, they never obeyed
Jesus Christ, they never truly got to know Him.

We must make EVERY
EFFORT to obey Jesus Christ or else we will not enter His kingdom.

May Jesus bless you.

God will REWARD Every Man According to their DEEDS

Many people wrongly believe that we only have to BELIEVE in Jesus Christ to be saved but that is not the truth. If we believe in Jesus, we must OBEY Him, we must follow Him and DO what He commanded or else we will perish. Jesus will reward every man according to their DEEDS, believers also. He does not discriminate against anyone and He does not advantage anyone because they believe. He has ONE STANDARD by which all men will be judged. Some believers wrongly believe that if they do not SERVE Jesus they will only LOSE REWARDS, that is a LIE! If we do not SERVE and OBEY Him we will perish!

This is what the apostle Paul wrote in Romans 2:6-16 “God, 6who WILL RENDER TO EACH PERSON ACCORDING TO HIS DEEDS: 7to those who by perseverance in doing good seek for glory and honor and immortality, ETERNAL LIFE; 8but to those who are selfishly ambitious and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, WRATH AND INDIGNATION. 9There will be tribulation and distress for every soul of man who does evil, of the Jew first and also of the Greek, 10but glory and honor and peace to everyone who does good, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. 11For THERE IS NO PARTIALITY WITH GOD.

12For all who have sinned without the Law will also perish without the Law, and all who have sinned under the Law will be judged by the Law; 13for it is not the hearers of the Law who are just before God, but the doers of the Law will be justified. 14For when Gentiles who do not have the Law do instinctively the things of the Law, these, not having the Law, are a law to themselves, 15in that THEY SHOW THE WORK OF THE LAW WRITTEN IN THEIR HEARTS, their conscience bearing witness and their thoughts alternately accusing or else defending them, 16on the day when, according to my gospel, God will judge the secrets of men through Christ Jesus.”

God will judge each and every one of us FAIRLY.

Jesus Christ warned His disciples to ALWAYS BE READ, TO BE WORKING for the kingdom of God.

We read the words of Jesus in Luke 12:35 “Be dressed in readiness, and keep your lamps lit. 36“Be like men who are waiting for their master when he returns from the wedding feast, so that they may immediately open the door to him when he comes and knocks. 37“Blessed are those slaves whom the master will find on the alert when he comes; truly I say to you, that he will gird himself to serve, and have them recline at the table, and will come up and wait on them. 38“Whether he comes in the second watch, or even in the third, and finds them so, blessed are those slaves.

39“But be sure of this, that if the head of the house had known at what hour the thief was coming, he would not have allowed his house to be broken into. 40“You too, be ready; for the Son of Man is coming at an hour that you do not expect.”

41Peter said, “Lord, are You addressing this parable to us, or to everyone else as well?” 42And the Lord said, “Who then is the faithful and sensible steward, whom his master will put in charge of his servants, to give them their rations at the proper time? 43“Blessed is that slave whom his master finds so doing when he comes. 44“Truly I say to you that he will put him in charge of all his possessions. 45“But if that slave says in his heart, ‘My master will be a long time in coming,’ and begins to beat the slaves, both men and women, and to eat and drink and get drunk; 46the master of that slave will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he does not know, and WILL CUT HIM IN PIECES, AND ASSIGN HIM A PLACE WITH THE UNBELIEVERS. 47“And that slave who knew his master’s will and did not get ready or act in accord with his will, will receive many lashes, 48but the one who did not know it, and committed deeds worthy of a flogging, will receive but few. From everyone who has been given much, much will be required; and to whom they entrusted much, of him they will ask all the more.”

The unfaithful slave WILL BE CUT INTO PIECES AND ASSIGNED A PLACE WITH THE UNBELIEVERS. Do not make the mistake of thinking that you can have a LAST MINUTE REPENTANCE just before you die. We have to be READY, WORKING and SERVING the kingdom of God.

God is not fooled. He will reward every man according to their DEEDS. Go and read the words of Jesus in the gospels, go and read about the talents and what happened to the servant who buried his talent. He was thrown out into utter darkness where there is moaning and gnashing of teeth. God will reward every man according to their DEEDS, believers also. If we refuse to OBEY and SERVE Jesus Christ we will end up in damnation with the unbelievers, with those who refused to OBEY the words of Jesus Christ.

Are we spending our lives working for the kingdom of God or are we selfishly ambitious and running after our own lusts and desires? What reward do we expect when we stand before the judgment throne of God?

May Jesus bless you.
