REPENT - THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS AT HAND


The kingdom of God is at hand. Jesus,
the King is coming, to judge the world and to execute judgment on all
the unrighteousness of men. Since the days of John the Baptist, the
world has been warned to repent and prepare for the Coming of Jesus.
John the Baptist warned:” 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.” Matthew 3:12.
The first time Jesus came to save the
world. The next time He will come to judge the world. The only way to
enter the kingdom of God and have eternal life is to be born again.
No sinners will enter heaven. Jesus came to save sinners, make them
new inside, born again, to be holy children of God that obey Him.
Jesus Himself delivered the words of
eternal life, which are His words, the words that He spoke and His
commandments. Those who disregard and disobey Jesus will perish. His
words were recorded in Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Jesus said:”He
who believes in Me, does not believe in Me but in Him who sent
Me. 45“He who
sees Me sees the One who sent Me. 46“I
have come as Light into the world, so that everyone who
believes in Me will not remain in darkness. 47“If
anyone hears My sayings and does not keep them, I do not judge him;
for I did not come to judge the world, but to save the world. 48“He
who rejects Me and does not receive My sayings, has one who judges
him; the word I spoke is what will judge him at the last day. 49“For
I did not speak on My own initiative, but the Father Himself who sent
Me has given Me a commandment as to what to say and what to
speak. 50“I
know that His commandment is eternal life; therefore the things I
speak, I speak just as the Father has told Me” John 12:44-50.
The gospel of Jesus is plain and
simple, easy to understand. It is condensed in these verses that
Jesus commanded His disciples: “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;” Matthew 28:19,20. Also:
“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.” Mark 16:15,16.
Jesus did never and will ever reject
anyone who comes to Him. He did not judge even the biggest sinner. He
healed the sick and delivered the demon possessed, but He commanded
them to GO SIN NO MORE. All those who believed and REPENTED were
baptized in water, by Jesus’ disciples. Repent does not mean to
admit you are a sinner, it means to TURN AWAY FROM SIN, SIN NO MORE.
“Without holiness no one will see the Lord.”
Jesus gives the New Life to those who
believe in Him, repent and are baptized. They are born again, they
become children of God, who live in obedience to Jesus’
commandments. He also promised to give the Holy Spirit, in them to
help, teach and guide them, but they must stay in OBEDIENCE to Jesus,
living holy and righteously, bearing fruit for the kingdom of God.
Jesus is coming and He will judge every
man according to their DEEDS. Even in the days of John the Baptist
there were some who came for baptism but they had never repented,
they were still practicing sin. “But 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;” Matthew 3:7,8. Baptism
without repentance is senseless. Many born again Christians go back
to unholiness and sin after being baptized. If they do not repent,
they will perish.
Many preachers, church leaders and
evangelists, are living in sin. Jesus called them false prophets.
“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.
Many Christians are not ready. They are
not living in communion with Jesus, because they are worldly and in
sin. Their fruit is bad, they are bad trees. The kingdom of God is at
hand. Jesus is coming to judge the world, but judgment will start
with His children, the Christians. The apostle Peter wrote: “For it
is time for judgment to begin with the household of God; and
if it begins with us first, what will be the
outcome for those who do not obey the gospel of God? 18AND
IF IT IS WITH DIFFICULTY THAT THE RIGHTEOUS IS SAVED, WHAT WILL
BECOME OF THE GODLESS MAN AND THE SINNER?” 1 Peter 4:17,18.
Jesus is coming. Are we ready?
Repent before it is too late and bear
fruit in keeping with repentance. Be a good tree, because bad trees
will be cut down and burned, even though they were born again
believers.
REPENT – THE
KINGDOM OF GOD IS AT HAND.
May Jesus bless you.

Seeing the Hand of God - Anger Against God



Jesus said:”Blessed are the pure in
heart, for they will see God.”Matthew 5:8. If we are pure in heart
we will see the hand of God in everything that happens to us, even
those things that hurt us and cause us loss, pain and hardship. The
apostle Paul also therefor wrote in Romans 8:28”And we know that
God causes all things to work together for good to those who love
God, to those who are called according to His purpose.”
If we seek Jesus with all our heart and purify our hearts of evil we
will gain understanding and see the hand of God in everything.
We do not always understand at the
time, when things happen to us, but if we stay with Jesus, He will
give us understanding. We are often disheartened when things seam to
be against us, when it seams as though God has left us, when things
do not work out as we expected, but that is because our hearts are
not pure, and we are not focused on Jesus and His kingdom. It is
because we are focused on our own desires and our own insight.
Believers often turn against God, they hate and curse God when the
trials of life come against them, when their faith and loyalty to
Jesus is tested. The wickedness in their heart, their lack of faith
and trust in Jesus, is exposed by their bitterness, resentment and
outbursts against God.
If you have allowed resentment against
God, fear, hatred, anxiety, depression and anger against God to come
into your life it is because you are not pure in heart. You need to
repent, plead Jesus forgiveness, turn from your animosity, turn from
your doubt and unbelief, purify your heart and you will see God, you
will experience His peace in your heart.
All God's ways are loving kindness to
all people. He is good to everybody, but the wrath of God comes on
the disobedient, those who do evil and who are evil of heart. Be
reconciled with God. Repent of your evil. Invite Jesus into your
life, obey Him, stop sinning, repent, purify your heart, be baptized
in water for the remission of your sin. Be holy, live in obedience to
Jesus. You will experience His peace and you will see His hand in
your life.
Seek Jesus with all your heart. He is
our Guide and Helper. We do not even know rightfully what and how to
pray, but if we are born again and have received the Holy Spirit, we
can pray in tongues and the Holy Spirit will pray through us
according to the will of God.
We read in Romans 8:26In the same way
the Spirit also helps our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as
we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with
groanings too deep for words; 27and He who searches the hearts
knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He intercedes for the
saints according to the will of God.
28And we know that God causes all things to work together for good
to those who love God, to those who are called according
to His purpose. 29For those whom He foreknew, He also
predestined to become conformed to the image of His Son, so that
He would be the firstborn among many brethren; 30and these whom
He predestined, He also called; and these whom He called, He also
justified; and these whom He justified, He also glorified.


31What then shall we say to these things? If God is for
us, who is against us? 32He who did not spare His own
Son, but delivered Him over for us all, how will He not also with Him
freely give us all things? 33Who will bring a charge against
God’s elect? God is the one who justifies; 34who is the one
who condemns? Christ Jesus is He who died, yes, rather who was
raised, who is at the right hand of God, who also intercedes for
us.35Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will tribulation,
or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or
sword?


36Just as it is written,
“FOR YOUR SAKE WE ARE BEING PUT
TO DEATH ALL DAY LONG;
WE WERE CONSIDERED AS SHEEP TO BE
SLAUGHTERED.”


37But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him
who loved us. 38For I am convinced that neither death, nor life,
nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to
come, nor powers, 39nor height, nor depth, nor any other created
thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in
Christ Jesus our Lord.”


Purify your heart and let Jesus dwell in you. Do not allow doubt,
fear, unbelief and sin into your life. Live for Jesus and you will
see the hand of God in your life


May Jesus bless you.

See the hand of God



Those who are serious about following Jesus Christ and about seeing the will of God being done, they will also see the hand of God moving. We must commit our ways, our desires, and our requests, to the Lord and we must pray for His will to be done. Then we can expect to see the hand of God moving in His way according to His will.

People often pray for their own will to be done and they are disappointed when God does not fulfill their desires, but if we pray for the will of God to be done we can expect to see the hand of God moving, because God works on behalf of those who love Him, we serve Him and who obey Him. He works His will according to His good pleasure.

Those who are pure in heart will see the hand of God moving because they are not seeking their own desire, they are seeking the will of God. God is in control and if we trust Him and commit our ways to Him we can expect to see His hand moving in those things that we pray about. Trust in the Lord and He will work things out according to His good pleasure.

May Jesus bless you.

Your Destiny Is In Your Hand Choose Right



You and I determine our own destiny. It is in our hands. We decide, we choose. We either choose the truth or we choose lies. We either choose to sin or to live holy and righteous and we will bear the consequences of our decisions. In the end we will only have ourselves to blame if we end up at the wrong destiny.

If we reject the truth and go after lies, we will perish. If we seek the truth we will find it. The truth, the laws of God are written in our hearts, we all know right from wrong. We all have a conscience and failing all else we will be judged by our conscience. Nobody will have any excuse. We either decide to sin or to not sin. Nobody can force us. They can maybe kill us but they cannot force us to do what we do not want to do.

People who say that they cannot stop sinning are lying, they are lying to themselves but in the end they will face the truth because it was their decision to sin.

Many believers try to justify their sin. They say they cannot stop sinning, they believe lies. They believe psychology. Psychology is lies and manipulation. If you seek the truth you will find it. Choose the truth, choose to LIVE. Choose Jesus Christ and you will live. Choose Holiness, choose Righteousness and you will LIVE.

Your destiny is in your own hands. choose right.

May Jesus bless you.
