GO FOR IT Follow Jesus

Many people are afraid to follow Jesus Christ, especially young people. They think that if they go after Jesus and follow Him that they will not HAVE A LIFE. They first want to LIVE and enjoy life and they think that then later on, once they have enjoyed life and enjoyed the pleasures of sin and of achieving their ambitions then they will turn and follow Jesus. The problem is that they DO NOT TRUST JESUS.

They think that they know what is best, they think that they will lose out and they will not HAVE A LIFE and that is where they make the mistake. Because without Jesus THERE IS NO LIFE! It is not about WHAT YOU ARE GIVING UP, it is about what you are GOING AFTER, you are going after ETERNAL LIFE and if you go after Jesus the other things become less important. They make no sense to you any more, they have no meaning. Jesus Christ IS the WAY, the TRUTH and the LIFE, and His WAY is the BEST WAY but people DON'T TRUST HIM.

I regret making the same mistake, I went away from Jesus when I was young but by His mercy and grace and through much tribulation and sorrows, and many mistakes that I made, and the price that I paid for my foolishness, Jesus never left me, but He brought me back. I only have one regret and that is that I did not TRUST Jesus all along, right from the start. It would have saved me a lot of pain and hardship but I have learned valuable lessons which I can share with other people. The advice that I am giving to any person, especially young people is: GO AFTER JESUS! You cannot lose if you follow Jesus.

I must be the happiest man in the world because Jesus had mercy on me. He treated me harshly at times but He turned me and He brought me back, and I thank Him that I was willing to turn when He brought me to the cross roads, I made the right decision and I started following Him with all my power. I must be the happiest man in the world because I walk with the KING of kings and the LORD of lords and I WANT TO stay with him until the very end. I WANT TO ENDURE because His WAY is the BEST WAY.

GO FOR IT! Follow Jesus with ALL your power and you will NEVER BE DISAPPOINTED!

May Jesus bless you.

You will be ALONE if you follow Jesus

Do not expect friends and family to congratulate you the day that you decide to truly follow Jesus Christ, because when you truly follow Jesus and obey Him then you are ON YOUR OWN. You might not be ALONE, you might be among many people but nobody will be WITH YOU. You will be ON YOUR OWN. The only One that will be WITH YOU and who will never leave you nor forsake you is Jesus Christ.

Don't think that your church friends will be glad when you start following Jesus, they will reject you. Don't think that your pastor or your priest or your preacher will be glad, they will hate you and persecute you if you walk with Jesus. If you walk with Jesus you are ALONE even when you are in the crowd. Jesus will never leave you, He will never forsake you, He will always be with you to guide you and to teach you, to comfort you, to give you wisdom and to teach you His ways, to LEAD you to eternal life.

Jesus Christ Himself was a man of sorrows, He was rejected, persecuted and killed in the end but He AROSE and He is ALIVE, and He LIVES in those who truly follow Him and they are LIKE HIM also ALONE.

Are you willing to be ALONE with Jesus or do you treasure the acceptance and the company of people, friends, family, acquaintances? If you are not willing to be ALONE with Jesus then you are not worthy of Him and you will not follow Him. May Jesus bless you.

How to FOLLOW Jesus and have ETERNAL LIFE

You cannot follow Jesus Christ if you do not have the Holy Spirit. We read in Romans 8:14 Paul says that those who are led by the Spirit of God they are the sons of God. You can only be a son of God, a child of God, if you have the Spirit of God. Jesus Christ gives His Holy Spirit IN those who decide to FOLLOW HIM, who turn from following after their own mind, their own flesh, the desires of their flesh and after sin, who REPENT, turn away from those things, are baptized in water; He gives then the NEW BIRTH and He puts his Holy Spirit IN them and they LISTEN to the Holy Spirit and they follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit. But not all of them!

Most believers DO NOT HAVE THE HOLY SPIRIT and they DO NOT FOLLOW THE GUIDANCE of the Holy Spirit. We can only be pleasing to God if we LISTEN to the Holy Spirit and if we are guided by the Holy Spirit, IF our life is determined by the Holy Spirit. You need to LISTEN to the Holy Spirit and OBEY, FOLLOW Him to be pleasing to God. If we live according to our flesh, that which I WANT, MY reactions, MY ambitions, My desires, then we must die! But if we IGNORE and DENY our own desires, our own reactions and lusts and we follow after the Spirit of God, we LISTEN to Jesus and we DO what is pleasing to HIM then we will live. THAT IS WHAT IT MEANS TO FOLLOW JESUS. We must be led by the Holy Spirit.

It is not about reciting scriptures, about knowing the Bible. It is about KNOWING JESUS, having the Holy Spirit in you, LISTENING, OBEYING and FOLLOWING Him, or else we cannot please God and we are not part of His kingdom. We can only follow and serve Jesus Christ IF we are LED BY the Holy Spirit.

Are you FOLLOWING Jesus Christ and are you LED by the Holy Spirit?

May Jesus bless you.
