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.

Fruit of Repentance What It Is

There are many people who say that they BELIEVE IN JESUS, that they are Christians. But there is no fruit of REPENTANCE in their lives. They are exactly the same as the world. They haven't changed. What does REPENTANCE MEAN my friend? Repentance means that you DON'T SIN ANY MORE. It doesn't mean that I am sorry and I have done it again and o man I am a sinner and I am going to do it again, No! It means, I don't go there no more. I am not a smoker any more, I am not a fornicator any more, I am not an adulterer any more. I FOLLOW JESUS, I have TURNED AWAY from that. I am not serving me any more, I serve Jesus. I don't walk after my own mind and the desires of my flesh. I follow Christ. That is what repentance means my friends.

We read in Matthew about John the Baptist when he preached the coming of the Kingdom of God, of Jesus Christ coming. Then many people came to be baptized and amongst them were the RELIGIOUS PEOPLE of the day, they also came. They also wanted to be baptized, just to have a security, an insurance. Like many people today, they got to have a Church,

they got to belong to a Church. They just want, you know the insurance. It is not going to pay out my friend. Like many insurances, most insurances don't pay out.

Your Church is a bad insurance. The only true insurance is REPENTANCE. So these people also came to John the baptist to be baptized. Because they wanted this, just to make sure, you know. They also wanted to be baptized just in case. What did John the Baptist say to them? We read in Matthew 3:7 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Saducees,  these are of religious people, coming for baptism. He said to them,”You brood of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath to come? Therefore bring forth fruit in keeping with your repentance and do not suppose to say that you can say to

yourselves, we have Abraham as our father, for I say to you that God is able from these stones to raise up children for Abraham. And the axe is already laid at the root of the trees. Every tree therefore that does not bear fruit, is cut down, and thrown in the fire.”

My friends, we need to grow fruit, we need to produce fruit of repentance. FRUIT OF REPENTANCE MEANS, that everybody can see, Johnny is not the same guy any more. He is CHANGED. He don't curse any more, he doesn't go to these places, he doesn't drink. He doesn't listen to dirty jokes, he got rid of his television. He is not interested, he is interested in ONE THING, IN JESUS CHRIST. He is not interested in the insurance of Church any more because he found out that those guys are just selling insurance. They themselves don't know Jesus, because they are sinners. Their preacher tells them from the pulpit that they are all sinners. Because they are sinners. Johnny has changed, he is not going to that church any more. HE IS FOLLOWING JESUS! He has changed, he is a new man. He has become a CHILD OF GOD, he does not sin any more. He is not scared to testify for Jesus, he tells every body, that Jesus has came into his life,  and has changed him, has delivered him,  from all those vices. He is now a SON of GOD. He tells every body, he warns them,  he is concerned about them,  because they are going to HELL. He's got the LOVE OF CHRIST in him That is REPENTANCE my friend, that is showing the FRUIT OF REPENTANCE, it is when you become HOLY. And you WALK WITH GOD. You are not concerned about yourself any more,  about self realization, about ME. You become concerned about Jesus, about the Kingdom of God. Because my friend, every tree, every branch, that does not bear fruit,  will be cut off. Jesus said that, He said every branch in Me,  that does not bear fruit, will be cut off. And the axe is already lying at the root of the tree. Is the axe lying at your root my friend? Are you bearing fruit? Are you BEARING FRUIT OF REPENTANCE or  have you just bought some insurance? You just say I BELIEVE IN JESUS  and that is where it stops. Because the devil also believes in Jesus  and he SHUDDERS. Do you SHUDDER like satan,  he is scared my friend. satan shudders, because he knows,  he knows what is waiting for him. He knows he is going into HELL, into the pit. But he also wants to take you along,  that is why he is telling you a nice story.  He says don't worry, God don't care man, You got the insurance, you got a church,  you know those guys, the pastor says my brother,  God bless you.  But you know what, you don't know God.

If you KNOW GOD my friend,  if you KNOW JESUS CHRIST,  you BEAR FRUIT of REPENTANCE. Then this life is not interesting to you anymore, all that is interesting to you, is PLEASING JESUS CHRIST. Is testifying for Him, telling the world, to REPENT. Say my friend you got to repent,  you are on your way to hell. There is only ONE WAY and that is JESUS CHRIST. You want to see your friends in HELL? You want to go to hell my friend? You got to bear fruit of repentance, you got to show them the way. You know who the WAY is? JESUS CHRIST. And if Jesus is in you my friend,

 you will bear fruit of repentance. Many people say Jesus is in them,  but they bear the fruit of the devil my friends. What fruit do you bear? Are you bearing fruit of repentance? Are you a child of God? Or are you by profession a child of the devil,  because you keep on sinning. You do the works of your father, satan. Have you REPENTED? Are you a SON OF GOD? Can you only talk about Jesus. Are you on a new course? Have you changed direction? Can everybody see it in you, does Christ speak through you and in you? Does He live in you? Or are you still a SINNER?

REPENT my friend and  BEAR FRUIT OF REPENTANCE,  unless the tree gets CUT off. Because the axe is already lying  at the root of the tree.

May Jesus Bless you.

Bear Fruit for Eternal Life

Jesus requires of those who follow Him, to bear fruit, or else they will be cut off and burned.

Here is how to bear fruit. We read in John 4:36 Jesus said to His disciples: "Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look on the fields, that they are white for harvest. 36“Already he who reaps is receiving wages and is gathering fruit for life eternal; so that he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together. 37“For in this case the saying is true, ‘One sows and another reaps.’ 38“I sent you to reap that for which you have not labored; others have labored and you have entered into their labor.”

Bearing fruit is about making disciples of Jesus Christ. We read in Matthew 28:18. Jesus  spoke to His disciples, saying: “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. 19“Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, 20teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”

Are we bearing fruit for eternity? Are we making disciples of Jesus Christ?

May Jesus bless you.

Good Fruit

Jesus Christ said that a
tree is known by its fruit, and the Father is glorified when we as
His children bear good fruit. If we do not bear good fruit we will
get cut off and burned. Jesus Himself is the True Vine and we cannot
bear fruit if we do not remain in Him, but if we remain in Him; we
obey and follow Him, if we become His disciples and follow Him, then
we will bear much fruit. We will produce more disciples that are like
Jesus.

Religious hypocrites and
those who belong to churches cannot produce good fruit. They cannot
produce disciples of Jesus Christ, they can only replicate
themselves. Bible believers make more Bible believers, Methodists
make Methodists, Catholics make Catholics, evangelicals make
evangelicals, but they do not make followers of Jesus Christ. Are we
bearing good fruit? Are we ourselves disciples of Jesus and are we
therefore making disciples of Jesus, who follow and obey Him? Does
our fruit bring glory to God? Are we bearing good fruit or will we
get cut off and burned together with the hypocrites and the false
Christians, false followers of Jesus Christ? Are we bearing good
fruit?

May Jesus bless you.

Bearing fruitful for the Kingdom of God

Jesus Christ said that every branch in Him that does not bear fruit will get cut off and burned. Now obviously, we first need to become grafted into the True Vine, into Jesus Christ, Himself before we can even be cut off, before we can be severed from Him. He is here talking about those who are born again, those who are children of God. We cannot be fruitful for the kingdom of God if we do not hear His voice, if we do not receive instruction from Him, because Jesus said:"My sheep hear My voice and
they follow Me." How can we receive instruction from Him if we do not hear His voice? Therefore we must first become born-again children of God, who hear the voice of God, before we can get cut off. Most believers are not children of God, they are just believers; they believe in what they do not know. They do not know Jesus Christ, they do not follow Him and they do not obey Him. Their hope of salvation is in vain, because they are not truly children of God. How do we become children of God?
We become children of God by obeying the gospel of Jesus Christ; that is the words of Jesus that He delivered, as also recorded in the Gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. If we obey the gospel of Jesus Christ, we will be born again, we will be children of God, who hear His voice and who can follow His instruction. What is the gospel of Jesus Christ? Repent and be baptized in water and you will receive the baptism in the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of God dwelling in you, to guide you, to teach you, and to instruct you, and only then can you follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit, only then can you bear fruit for the kingdom of God. Most believers are not born again. Most believers do not know Jesus Christ. We first have to obey the gospel of Jesus Christ, repent and live according to His words, that which he commanded how we should live. Go and read the words of Jesus in Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John; that is his commands; and if we obey His commands then we will be born again. If we repent and be baptized in water, and He will make us new inside. We will be new creatures and if we wait on Him, seek Him with all our heart, hunger and thirst for Him, He will give the Holy Spirit in us, as He did to the first believers on the day of Pentecost. You will receive the baptism in the Holy Spirit just like the disciples did on the day of Pentecost. Those who are being led by the Spirit of God, they are the children of God. If we are not born again and if we have not been baptized in water, been baptized in the Holy Spirit, then we will not hear His voice. If we do not keep on seeking and listening to Him, we will not receive instruction from Him, and we cannot bear fruit for His kingdom. How can we serve a person, how can we serve a God whom we do not now, whose voice we do not know? How can we be part of the Vine if we are not grafted in. Most believers are not grafted into the Vine, because they do not obey the gospel of Jesus Christ; they do not obey His commands.
Jesus said that "the one who has My commands and keeps them, is the one who loves me, and Me and My father will come and dwell with him and I will disclose myself to him." These words are recorded in John chapter 14, go and read it for yourself. If we obey the gospel of Jesus Christ,  His commands, He will reveal Himself to us. He will speak to us. He will instruct us. He gives the Holy Spirit in us, to guide us into all truth. Without Jesus Christ dwelling in us, without His Holy Spirit guiding us, we cannot be pleasing to Him, we cannot bear fruit for the kingdom of God, we cannot be pleasing to God. We need to be born again of the Spirit of God, and led by the Spirit of God to be children of God. Go and read Romans chapter 8 verse 14, Paul said:" those who are being led by the Spirit of God, they are the children of God. " Those who do not have the Spirit of Christ, the Holy Spirit, they do not belong to Him. They cannot hear His voice.
Many believers say they cannot hear His voice, it is because they do not obey His commandments, they do not live according to His words, they do not live in holiness and righteousness. They have never repented their, sin they have never been baptized in water, they never sought the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. They are in disobedience to Jesus Christ, and therefore He will not reveal Himself to them. Most believers are not born again.
Are we born again? Do we know His voice? Do we receive instruction from Him and are we bearing fruit for the kingdom of God? Every born-again child of God must bear fruit for His kingdom or else, according to the words of Jesus, such a child, such a branch, will get cut off and burned. We must build the kingdom of God, and we can only build the kingdom of God if we follow the instructions of the Master. I'm not talking about reading your Bible, I'm not talking about being religious. I'm talking about having the Spirit of Christ dwelling in us, being guided by the Spirit and doing what Jesus instructs us to do. We have to be fruitful in the kingdom of God.
Are we born again? Have we been grafted into the Vine? Are we bearing fruit for the kingdom of God because we follow the guidance and instruction of the Holy Spirit?
May Jesus bless you.

Play your OWN PART

I have made many videos pointing people to Jesus, sharing my testimony, sharing those things that Jesus has given me. I have many postings on the internet and there are many people watching the videos, many people reading, many people commenting. There are many people writing me letters, criticizing, they are telling me what to do, what not to do. There are many attacking me, persecuting me.

We will all stand before Jesus and we will all individually give account for what we have done in the flesh, for what we have done for the Kingdom of God. It is not the hearers, not the listeners, not the commenters, not the talkers but it is those who DO the will of God that will receive His approval. Each of us must make sure that we are doing what Jesus requires of us.

I will stand before Jesus and give account and so will you. Will Jesus be pleased with what I have done? Have I done enough? Have YOU done enough? Is He satisfied with us? Are we good workers for His kingdom? Are we bearing good fruit? Is He pleased with out fruit? That is the question that we need to answer for ourselves.

We need to ask Jesus every day:”Lord, am I doing enough? Lord, am I doing what I have been called to do? Am I serving the purpose of the Kingdom of God in such a way that I can enter in and become an heir of that Kingdom? Is Jesus pleased with YOU and with ME?

May Jesus bless you.

Bible Quoting Sinners - Sons of satan

If you really believe in Jesus Christ then you will FOLLOW and OBEY Him. You will SIN NO MORE. You will be HOLY as He is holy and you will do the WORKS of your Father, God. You will be GUIDED by the Holy Spirit and you will be a SHINING LIGHT in this world, bringing people to REPENTANCE and OBEDIENCE to Jesus Christ.

There are many Bible Quoting Sinners (“Christians”,) unrepentant hypocrites who think that if they quote Bible verse, that they are justified. The devil also quotes the Bible, he quotes the words of Jesus but he does not obey Jesus Christ.

A tree is known by it's fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit and a bad tree does not bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit will get cut off and burned. The ax is already lying at the root of the trees and many will get cut off because their fruit show that they are bad trees. They are SONS OF sATAN even though they quote the Bible. Many Bible scholars want to tell others how God thinks and what God will do and how things work in the kingdom of God but they themselves do not even know God. If they knew God they would humble themselves before Him and be taught by HIM, they would not become teachers themselves but they would take others to Jesus so that HE CAN TEACH THEM.

It is about your walk, the FRUIT that you bear. Are you the LIGHT OF THE WORLD? Are you walking in holiness and righteousness and are you bringing people to Jesus so that they can follow Him? Your Bible knowledge will not save you, it is your relationship with Jesus. Without Jesus we can do NOTHING. If you don't have Jesus YOU ARE LOST! Humble yourself before Him, seek Him and He will guide you. He alone is the WAY the TRUTH and the LIFE, follow HIM!

May Jesus bless you.
