The Greatest Gift



Many Christian believers
are looking for gifts from God. They want security of salvation.
Others want the baptism in the Holy Spirit, they want to be able to
speak in tongues. Others want the gifts of healing and other
spiritual gifts but the greatest gift of all they do not want. They
don't want Jesus Christ.
Jesus Christ Himself is
the greatest gift, the Spirit of Christ living in us. Jesus said that
the one who has his commands and keeps them is the one who loves Him,
and Him and the Father will come and dwell with that person. He will
give His Spirit in them, to be with them, to teach them and to guide
them.
The greatest gift is
Emmanuel, Christ with us, Christ in us, but believers want gifts from
God, they don't want Jesus Christ. They want to believe in Jesus for
salvation, but they are not interested in Jesus. They don't want to
hear His voice, they don't want to follow Him, they don't want to
obey Him,and therefore they perish.
Many have received gifts.
They speak in tongues, but they're also curse like sailors, they are
sinners. Many heal the sick, they preach in the streets, but they are
sinners. They've received the gift and they have deserted, gone away
from the Giver. They think that they have security in their gift but
without Jesus we have nothing. We might have His gifts, but if we
don't have Jesus we are lost and doomed. Without Jesus we can do
nothing. Without Jesus we cannot bear fruit.
Jesus said that if we do
not remain in Him and Him in us, we cannot bear fruit, but if we stay
in Him, if we obey Him, walk with Him, follow Him do His will, then
we will bear much fruit for the kingdom of God. If we don't bear
fruit, we all get cut off and burned. Many believers don't want to
bear fruit, they just want the gifts.
Do we want Jesus? Do we
have a desire for Jesus? Do we cherish His presence? Do we spend time
with Him, pray? Do we listen to His voice? Do we seek Him? Do we seek
His will? Are we serious about Jesus Christ or are we only looking
for the gifts? If we have Jesus we have everything, but without Jesus
we have nothing and we can do nothing. Do you have Jesus?
May Jesus bless you.

Salvation is NOT a FREE GIFT



Salvation is not a free gift from God to all who would accept it, without any conditions attached to it. That is a lie from satan that has been preached in many churches and that is deceiving many, and taking many people to hell. The wages of sin is death. All men have sinned and come short of the glory of God and they are doomed for damnation because of sin, but Jesus Christ came to take away the sin of the world. Jesus Christ paid the price for the sin of those who accept Him and who obey Him, those who follow Him. Jesus Christ is the only one who can save us from damnation, and the only way to be saved is to obey the gospel of Jesus Christ, His words as also recorded in the Gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.

The only way to have salvation is to repent of sin, to turn away from sin, and to accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Master, to serve and obey Him.  Jesus commands that we repent turn, away from sin, turn away from going after the desires of our flesh, and come after Him, follow Him; be baptized in water for the washing off of our sin and then  sin no more. If we keep on sinning we will perish. If we do not follow and obey Jesus Christ we will perish. Jesus Christ is the only way, and not many will follow Jesus.

Not many people are willing to give up the pleasures of sin and the love for the world and therefore not many will be saved. Not many are willing to obey Jesus Christ and go after Him. If we obey the gospel of Jesus Christ, repent, turn away from sin, stop sinning, turn away from going after our own desires, and go after Jesus, and we are baptized in water as He commanded, then Jesus Christ will reveal Himself to us. He will come and dwell with us and in us. He will accept us as children of God, but then we have to serve Him as children of God. He will give His Holy Spirit, to come and dwell in us, to be with us, to guide us and to teach us, but we have to keep ourselves holy and acceptable to Him. We must obey His words, live according to his commandments, sin no more, but do what He commanded, and then He will guide us by his Spirit.

The Holy Spirit will teach us and will guide us. The Holy Spirit will tell us at things in the future, will tell us things to come. The Holy Spirit will comfort us and be with us until the end, but we have to stay with Jesus. We have to be faithful to Him. Jesus warned that not many will be saved. He said:"Strait is the gate and narrow is the door that leads to life and few there be that find it." Very few are willing to follow Jesus Christ. Very few obey His words and get into that real relationship with Him where they receive His Holy Spirit and they are led by the Holy Spirit. Those who are being led by the Spirit of God, they are the children of God, not those who just believe in Jesus for salvation.

We need to know Jesus and He needs to know us. Our  relationship with Him must be real. You will say to many people on the day that they die, He will say to them:"Go away I never knew you." Many of those will be believers. They believed the lies that they heard in churches. They believed that they only had to believe in Jesus Christ and accept His "free gift" of salvation. We cannot work for our salvation. We cannot earn it. We cannot buy it, but we have to accept the only opportunity that we have to escape the damnation of hell and that opportunity is to accept Jesus Christ as Lord, to obey Him, to follow Him, to live for Him, to stay with Him until the very end. We have to strive hard every day to be pleasing to Jesus. We have to deny ourselves earthly pleasures. We have to deny ourselves the things of this world and we have to go after Jesus. We have to do His will, serve Him as Lord and Master.

 Salvation is not just a free gift to those who would accept it and then join a church. Salvation is the prize for those who obey Jesus Christ the turn away from sin, turn away from the pleasures of the world, turn away from satisfying themselves, and live to please Jesus, that serve Jesus Christ the King and who endure with Him until the very end. If we endure with Jesus until the end and we are pleasing to Him, we will only finally be saved and know that we are saved the day that we die. You do not win the prize before you have finished the race. We have to follow Jesus until the very end and endure with Him until the end, to win that prize of eternal life. Do not be deceived by the lie that salvation is a free gift. Salvation is Jesus Christ, to follow and obey Him, to go after Him and to stay with Him until the very end. Those who turn away from Jesus will perish. Jesus Christ is the way the life and the truth. Those who reject Him will perish. Those who do not endure with Him until the end will perish. Without Jesus we can do nothing. Obey the gospel of Jesus Christ, repent and be baptized, and follow Jesus Christ until the very end and you will have eternal life.

May Jesus bless you.

The Greatest Gift



I am here to present you with the greatest gift that anybody can ever give you, and that is the KNOWLEDGE OF JESUS CHRIST, how to KNOW Him, how to FOLLOW Him, how to HEAR HIS voice AND HOW TO GO WITH HIM  FOR ETERNITY.

Jesus Christ IS eternal life. He is everything. He holds everything together by His mighty power. He is God almighty and He wants you and me to be in communion, in close relationship with Him. He wants to teach us and guide us. He wants to give us everything that we can ever need. He wants to make us heirs of the kingdom of God so that we can spend eternity with Him in His presence.

Most people do not know that but we can start experiencing, being WITH Jesus Christ RIGHT NOW. He will reveal Himself to you if you seek Him. You CAN hear His voice. You CAN be taught by Him  You CAN know Him intimately.

There is nothing greater than knowing Jesus Christ, than being WITH Him. Jesus Christ is WITH you and me and He has always been with us even before we were born but we do not go with Him. We STRAY, we WANDER off on our own, we are busy with our own affairs. We don't go after Him and in the end we spend eternity away form Him. If we seek Him with all our heart, if we draw closer to Him, He draws closer to us. If we separate ourselves unto Him then we become part of His kingdom, we become ONE SPIRIT with Him and the MIND OF CHRIST dwells in us  He gives us wisdom and understanding, He gives us ETERNAL LIFE. There is no greater gift than knowing Jesus Christ.

I thank Jesus for revealing Himself to me so that I could get to know Him for real and I am here to share Jesus Christ  with you. I am here to present that gift, the KNOWLEDGE OF CHRIST to everyone who wants eternal life. there is not greater gift that anybody can offer you. Do you KNOW Jesus Christ?

May Jesus bless you.

God's Unwanted Gift


Most professing Christians reject and despise the GIFT that God promised to those who follow and obey Jesus Christ. That is the gift of the Holy Spirit, the constant PRESENCE of Jesus Christ IN and WITH those who seek Him, who love Him and who want to follow Him. Most professing Christians do not want the Holy Spirit, they rather want a newer version of the Bible that they can interpret to their own liking. They do not want the interference of the Holy Spirit, they do not want the guidance and the presence of Jesus Christ IN and WITH them all the time. They just want salvation, they want an assurance that they can live their lives the way that they wish to, that they can go on sinning and fulfill the lusts of the flesh and still have eternal life. They REJECT the Holy Spirit because the Holy Spirit will convict them of sin righteousness and judgment. He will guide us into all truth and teach us all things, but believers do not want the Holy Spirit, they want things their own way. They REJECT Jesus Christ, they want a God that serves them, that serves their desires. They do not want the truth.
Jesus Christ promised the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of TRUTH that will guide us into all TRUTH and if we do not have the Holy Spirit and do not FOLLOW Him, do not OBEY Him then we will not walk in truth, we will not do the will of God, we will LIVE A LIE, like most believers are living a lie.   They believe they are SAVED. They believe they have eternal life, assurance of salvation, but they don't have the Holy Spirit, they don't have Jesus. They despise the Holy Spirit that God promised to those who follow Jesus.
They do not want to PRAY IN TONGUES. They want to be respectable and accepted by the world, not despised because they love and follow Jesus Christ. They despise God's gift, they despise Jesus Christ and therefor they will perish.
Have you received the Holy Spirit? Do you sense the CONSTANT PRESENCE of Jesus Christ in your life? Are you living holy and are you SEEKING the guidance of  they Holy Spirit? Do you seek MORE of Jesus Christ and His kingdom IN YOU? Or do you also despise God's gift? If we truly love Jesus we will YEARN for Him , we will YEARN for His presence, yearn for His guidance so that we can do what is pleasing to Him. If we do not love Him now and do not WANT to please Him NOW we will not want to spend eternity with Him ether and we will spend eternity in hell away from Him because we despise Him, we despise the gift that God gave, we despise ETERNAL LIFE.
Have you received the GIFT of the Holy Spirit? Do you cherish and obey Him?
May Jesus bless you.
