DO YOU HAVE THE SPIRIT?

Many believers claim to have received

the Holy Spirit, that Jesus promised to those who seek to obey and
follow Him. It is however not clear how the Holy Spirit manifests in
their lives because very little if any of the workings of the Spirit,
as foretold by Jesus are present in their lives.

Before Jesus was crucified He said to
His disciples: “But
I tell you the truth, it is 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 Him to you. 8“And
He, when He comes, will convict the world concerning sin and
righteousness and judgment; 9concerning
sin, because they do not believe in Me; 10and
concerning righteousness, because I go to the Father and you no
longer see Me; 11and
concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world has been judged.
12“I
have many more things to say to you, but you cannot
bear them now. 13“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. 14“He
will glorify Me, for He will take of Mine and will disclose it to
you. 15“All
things that the Father has are Mine; therefore I said that He takes
of Mine and will disclose it to
you.” John 16:7-14.

After Jesus was crucified, before He
ascended to heaven He commanded His disciples to go to Jerusalem and
wait for the Spirit. We read about it in Acts 1 & 2. The Holy
Spirit was given on the day of Pentecost. Those who received the
baptism in the Holy Spirit not only spoke in tongues, but they went
forth, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God under guidance of
the Holy Spirit, with signs and wonders.

They were not operating on their own,
by their own initiative. Having received the Spirit of Christ, they
had Christ in them. They were following His guidance, going where He
sent them, speaking His words, being taught by Him.

Modern Christianity is Letter based,
Bible based, doctrine based with little if any working and
manifestation of the Holy Spirit. In which way are the lives of those
who claim to have receiver the Holy Spirit impacted, and how are they
impacting the world around them? Are they only laying claim to some
experience of have they RECEIVED Jesus. Is Christ in them? Is Jesus
living in them and being manifested through them?

Many do have spirits in them, evil
spirits, lust, greed, religious spirits, rage, jealousy, hatred,
immorality, pride, murder, homosexuality, and many more, even though
they call themselves Christians.

The Spirit of Christ does not cohabit
with evil spirits. Our body is a temple of the Holy Spirit. Do we
have the Holy Spirit?

May Jesus bless you.

HE PROMISED US HIS SPIRIT

The disciples of Jesus were sad to learn the He would be leaving them,

and no longer be physically with them, when He told them before He
was crucified, but He promised them that He would not leave them as
orphans. He promised them the Holy Spirit, His Spirit that would come
and dwell with them. Jesus did not promise them a book, or a Bible or
anything else. He promised His Spirit.

We
read in John 14:16-25, Jesus said: “I will ask the Father, and He
will give you another Helper, that He may be with you forever;17that
is the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because
it does not see Him or know Him, but you know Him because
He abides with you and will be in you.

      18“I
will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. 19“After a
little while the world will no longer see Me, but you will see
Me; because I live, you will live also. 20“In that day you
will know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you. 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.” 22Judas (not Iscariot) said to
Him, “Lord, what then has happened that You are going to disclose
Yourself to us and not to the world?” 23Jesus answered and
said to him, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My
Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our abode with
him. 24“He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and
the word which you hear is not Mine, but the Father’s who sent Me.

      25“These
things I have spoken to you while abiding with you. 26“But the
Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He
will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I
said to you.”

We
read in john 16:5-15 Jesus said: “But now I am going to Him who
sent Me; and none of you asks Me, ‘Where are You going?’6“But
because I have said these things to you, sorrow has filled your
heart. 7“But I tell you the truth, it is 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 Him to you. 8“And He, when He
comes, will convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and
judgment; 9concerning sin, because they do not believe in
Me; 10and concerning righteousness, because I go to the Father
and you no longer see Me; 11and concerning judgment, because the
ruler of this world has been judged.

      12“I
have many more things to say to you, but you cannot
bear them now. 13“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. 14“He will glorify Me, for He
will take of Mine and will disclose it to you. 15“All
things that the Father has are Mine; therefore I said that He takes
of Mine and will disclose it to you.”

After
Jesus was crucified and resurrected, before He ascended to heaven He
spoke to them. We read in Acts 1:4 “Gathering them together, He
commanded them not to leave Jerusalem, but to wait for what the
Father had promised, “Which,” He said, “you heard of
from Me;5for John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with
the Holy Spirit not many days from now.” The disciples did go to
Jerusalem and were united in prayer, waiting on the gift that Jesus
promised. We read in Acts 2: 1-4 “When the day of Pentecost had
come, they were all together in one place. 2And suddenly there
came from heaven a noise like a violent rushing wind, and it filled
the whole house where they were sitting. 3And there appeared to
them tongues as of fire distributing themselves, and they rested on
each one of them. 4And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit
and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit was giving them
utterance.”

The
bystanders enquired about what had happened and Peter explained it to
them in many words, upon which they asked him what they should do to
receive the Holy Spirit. 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.” Acts 2:38-39.

The
Holy Spirit baptism with evidence of speaking in tongues is not only
about speaking in tongues, but about the indwelling of Jesus,
disclosing Himself, revealing Himself in and through those who have
received Him, being with them for always, teaching and guiding them
in all things. It is the fulfillment of Emmanuel, “God with us”,
“Christ dwelling in us” becoming born of the Spirit to be
children of God.

Receiving
and following the Holy Spirit, obeying Him, being taught and led by
Him is integral, essential, vital for every believer in order to be
in the right relationship with Jesus. It is not just a token or a
symbol but the supernatural unification with Jesus. We cannot follow
Jesus if we have not received His Spirit. We cannot be in communion
with Him. It is an absolutely essential requirement for everyone who
wishes to become one of His sheep, hear His voice, follow Him and
have eternal life.

The
first Christians did not have Bibles. They were taught the
commandments of Jesus by the disciples and they received the Holy
Spirit. They were led by the Holy Spirit.

He
promised us His Spirit. Have you received His Spirit? Are you in
communion with Him. Do you hear His voice and do you follow Him? Are
you one of His sheep?

May
Jesus bless you.

Sinners are not Christians are not Sinners

A born-again Christian is not a sinner, because he is a new creature. He has been born of the Spirit of God and of water through baptism.

A born-again child of God has been grafted into the Vine, Jesus Christ. We read in John 15:1 "1“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. 3“You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you. 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."

If we do not stay with Jesus and do what He commands, but rather go after the pleasures of sin, and follow after our own lusts, we will produce bad fruit. We will be warned and disciplined but if we do not change our ways obey Jesus and bear good fruit we will get cut off and burned. Those who bear bad fruit will end up in hell even if they were once born-again.

Many people pretend to be Christians, but they are false prophets and false Christians. They are very religious, some are preachers, prophets, Bible scholars and spiritual people. Some even heal the sick and speak in tongues, but they are false, because they produce bad fruit, they are SINNERS.

Jesus warned: “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.

If we truly follow Jesus Christ, we will obey Him and bear good fruit. We will be known by our fruit. Christians are not sinners, they are saints, holy people. They do not sin.

May Jesus bless you.

Be Holy

Followers of Jesus are commanded to be holy. The apostle Peter wrote: 15But just as He who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do, 16for it is written: “Be holy, because I am holy.”1 Peter 1:15.16.

Be holy in ALL you do, in mind, in speach, in deeds. Do not associate with the unrighteous.

Do not listen to fowl talk and dirty jokes.

Do not watch worldly movies. Do not allow watch pornography. You are defiling your soul.

Your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit of God to dwell in. Do not defile it with sin, immorality, fornication, piercings and tattoos. Be separate, holy, and glorify Jesus in all that you do.

We read in Psalm 1: 1How blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked,  Nor stand in the path of sinners, Nor sit in the seat of scoffers! 2But his delight is in the law of the LORD, And in His law he meditates day and night. 3He will be like a tree firmly planted by streams of water. Which yields its fruit in its season And its leaf does not wither; And in whatever he does, he prospers.

4The wicked are not so, But they are like chaff which the wind drives away.

5Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, Nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.

 6For the LORD knows the way of the righteous, But the way of the wicked will perish."

We read in Hebrews 12:14

Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord.

Be holy in all you do.

 May Jesus bless you.

Keep Yourself Clean Pure and Holy

Many Christian believers are living in
sin and unholiness. They are religious, they go to church, they know
the Bible, and they think they are saved, but they have no communion
with Jesus Christ, because they are living in sin. We have to keep
ourselves pure and holy in order to be in communion with Jesus. Jesus
has no communion with sinning believers. Our body is a temple of the
Holy Spirit for Him to dwell in and if we defile our bodies, if we
allow ourselves to be soiled and dirty, filled with sin immorality,
then the Holy Spirit will leave us, we will not have any relationship
with Jesus.

We have to live pure and holy and then
Jesus will come and dwell in us, but if we do not obey Jesus, and we
do not live according to His Commandments, in holiness and
righteousness, in obedience to him then He will not dwell in us we
will not have any communion with Him we will not have the hope of
salvation.

We read the words of Jesus in John
chapter 14 verse 21, He said:"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 I will disclose myself to
Him." Jesus is saying that if we obey His commandments then He
will love, us and He will come and dwell with us and He will disclose
Himself to us. He will speak to us. His Spirit will dwell in us. In
verse 23 we read Jesus said:"If anyone loves Me he will keep my
word, and My Father will love him and We will come to him and make
our abode with him."

Jesus will come and live with you and
me, if we love him and we obey Him, and we keep His words, but we
must keep ourselves pure and holy, because our body is a temple of
the Holy Spirit for Him to dwell in and He does not dwell with
impurity and with sin. If we allow ourselves to be soiled the Holy
Spirit will leave us.

The Apostle Paul wrote in 1st
Corinthians 6 verse 9:" Or do you not know that the unrighteous
will not inherit the kingdom of God. Do not be deceived, neither
fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor
homosexuals, nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards nor
revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God. Such were
some of you, but you were washed, you were sanctified, but you were
justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and in the Spirit of
our God." We were all sinners, but if we have a come to Jesus we
are not sinners anymore, then we have turned away from sin and we
keep ourselves holy for Jesus Christ, for His Holy Spirit to dwell
in.

In verse 15 Paul says:"Do you not
know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take away
the members of Christ and make them members of a prostitute? May it
never be! Or do you not know that the one who joins himself to a
prostitute is one body with her, for He says the two shall become one
flesh, but the one who joins himself to the Lord is one Spirit with
Him. Flee immorality. Every other sin that a man commits is outside
of the body, but the immoral man sins against his own body. Or do you
not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you,
Whom you have from God and you are not your own, for you have been
bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body."

Many Christian believers live in
adultery and fornication. Many are homosexual. They live in morality.
Their minds are defiled through the media, video games, TV, movies,
pornography and bad company, worldly friends. They have become
conditioned to evil, watching soap opera, and participating and
worldly entertainment. They are of the world. They are not pure, they
are not holy and they cannot be in communion with Jesus, they have no
hope of salvation. Merely believing in Jesus cannot save us. We must
repent, stop sinning, be holy, turn to Jesus, be baptized in water
for the washing off of sin, and then keep yourself clean, be a temple
of the Holy Spirit, in which He can dwell. If you allow yourself to
be defiled again, then the Holy Spirit will leave you.

If you once knew Jesus, if you once
followed Jesus and you backslid, you went away from Jesus, then
repent and cleanse yourself, get rid of your sin get, rid of your bad
friends. Purify yourself of your cleanliness, your immorality. Make
yourself a pure vessel, clean and acceptable unto Jesus, or else you
will never be in communion with Him.

Jesus gives His Holy Spirit in those
who seek Him, who obey Him and who live holy. Most professing
Christians have no relationship with Jesus. They have no communion
with Jesus. Jesus said:"My sheep hear My voice, they listen to
Me and they follow Me." Very few Christians know the voice of
Jesus. Very few follow Him. It is because they're living in sin. It
is because they are not holy and receptive vessels, they are not
pure. They do not reserve themselves unto Jesus Christ and therefor
they are not fit for the kingdom of heaven.
We have to purify
ourselves of all uncleanliness, all immorality, all sin, all
worldliness, and put our focus on Jesus; be a suitable vessel for the
Holy Spirit to dwell in, and then He will speak to us. He will guide
us. He will teach us. We will be in communion with Him, but if we
allow sin to come in, if we give the devil a foothold, then the Holy
Spirit of Christ will leave us. He will go silent on us, because we
choose evil, and through our choice of wrong and of evil we reject
Jesus Christ and we stray from Him, we stop following Him and go on
the wrong path.

Many have never followed Jesus. They
have never been in that close relationship with Him. They believe
they are saved but they are on the broad road to destruction. There's
only one way to have eternal life and that is to follow and obey
Jesus Christ, reserve yourself unto Him, seek Him always in prayer
and He will reveal Himself to you. Stay with Jesus until the very end
and you will be saved, but if you are not holy you will not see Him.
Without holiness no man shall see God. Without holiness no man will
enter the kingdom of God. Without holiness nobody will have any
relationship with Jesus Christ. Keep yourself clean and walk with
Jesus.

May Jesus bless you.

God is Kind but STERN

God is kind. Jesus Christ
forgives all our sins He pardons us, and He makes us children of God,
if we accept Him, but what people do not understand is that God is
also stern. This rebellious generation does not understand the
sternness of God and the discipline of God. God is unrelenting. He
demands absolute obedience to the words of Jesus, because those are
the words of eternal life.

God is unbending. He does
not compromise, to anybody or for anybody. God does not relent. He
does not give up on that which He commanded us to do. He does not
change. God is rigid. There is no shadow of changing with God. That
which He said, He will do. He will punish all disobedience. The wages
of sin is death. If we turn away from Jesus and we go back to sin
then God will discipline us, and if we do not accept discipline, we
will perish, because God does not tolerate sin. God is exact about
His requirements. the words of Jesus Christ are exact. They are not
open to interpretation. Jesus said that if you look at a woman to
desire her, to lust after her, you have already committed adultery in
your heart, and adulterers will not enter the kingdom of God.

Those who disobey Jesus
will perish, even though they did experience the kindness of God,
even though they were born again. Jesus said that every branch in
Him that does not bear fruit will get cut off and burned. Such
born-again people who have experienced the kindness of God and who
became children of God, but who do not bear fruit, will get cut off
and burned. They will end up in hell. God does not change. God does
not tolerate sin. God does not tolerate disobedience. Without
holiness no man shall see God. The soul that sins will die, will
perish in hell. No sinners will go into the kingdom of heaven.

The kindness of God leads
us to repentance, and holiness, to obedience to His commands, which
are the words of Jesus Christ, the words of eternal life. Those who
disobey Jesus will perish. Those who rebel against Him will not enter
His kingdom. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever.
If we obey Him, we will live. If we deny Him, disregard and disobey
Him, we will perish. We need to understand the kindness of God, but
also the severity of God, the sternness of God. God that does not
change, He does not tolerate disobedience. Fear Him, obey Him, and
you will live. There's only one way and that is to follow Jesus
Christ, obey Him and you will live.

May Jesus bless you.

Strength for the road ahead

If you decide to follow Jesus Christ then you enter a war zone because satan and all his demons will come at you to try and distract you.
You will be persecuted from all sides and you will need strength for the road ahead. That is why Jesus Christ promised the Holy Spirit baptism to those who want to follow Him. They will need that strength for the road ahead, they will need the power to overcome; but very few believers want to overcome. Many of them believe the lies of Satan that they will be raptured out of trouble that they can carry on living in sin as long as they
believe in Jesus, and then before the tribulation comes Jesus will come and snatch them away, take them out of trouble before the wrath of God comes on the unbelievers. That is a lie from
satan. Believers like that lie. They do not want Jesus, they do not want holiness and they do not want the Holy Spirit, they do not want the power for the road ahead.
When you talk about the Holy Spirit baptism believers run away
because they think that they will just be snatched away from trouble, Jesus will fetch them.  They are deceived and they will perish. There is only one way and that is to be righteous and  holy, to obey Jesus Christ; turn away from sin, repent be baptized and seek the baptism in the Holy Spirit; come and drink of that Water because without that Water of the Holy Spirit, that strength that comes from Jesus every day, you will not make it.
Eternal life is for those who endure with Jesus until the end, those who overcome; overcome the flesh, sin and the world, and who endure with Jesus Christ in holiness. He is not coming for believers who live in sin, believers who do not care for Him and believers who do not want Him, neither do they want is Holy Spirit. You can take a horse to the water but you cannot make him drink. You can point people to Jesus and tell them the
truth but you cannot force them to follow Jesus, you cannot force them to drink of the living water that Jesus offers to all those who wish to follow Him; all those who wish to come after Him.
Have you received the baptism in the Holy Spirit? Are you filled with the Spirit? Do you drink from the fountain of Life every day? Do you eat of the Bread of Life every day? Do you hear from Jesus? Are you filled? Are you equipped to stand against  satan, or are you also deceived and you believe that Jesus will come and fetch you because you believe in Him?
Jesus said:"Why do you call me Lord, Lord and you do not what I say?" If we do not obey Jesus, obey His teachings, His commands, repent, be baptized, be holy, we will perish. No sinners will enter into the kingdom of heaven. If you do not want the Holy
Spirit, the power that He gives to those who thirst for righteousness and for the Spirit of God in them, if you do not
have that, if you do not want that you will perish. There's only one way; humble yourself before Jesus seek Him with all your
heart and come and drink of that water of life that He offers to those who want eternal life, to those who are willing to deny themselves, pick up their cross and follow Jesus Christ until the very end.
May Jesus bless you.

Be Holy and you will HEAR Jesus

Jesus Christ said:"My sheep hear My voice, they listen to Me and they follow Me." Very few professing Christians do hear His voice. Very few of them are His sheep.

Why is it that believers that profess to be Christians do not know His voice and do not hear His voice? It is because they are not separated unto Him. Without holiness no man shall see God. Jesus does not live in an unclean temple. Our body is the temple of the Holy Spirit and if we are full of other things, worldliness, sin, then He will not have communion with us. We will not hear Him speaking to us. Without holiness no man shall see God.

If we want to be with Jesus and Jesus in us and have communion with Him, we have to be pure and holy. He does not have communion with sinners. He calls sinners unto Him but those who accept Him purify themselves, they purge themselves of all unrighteousness and worldliness. They separate themselves unto Him. They preserve themselves for Him as a temple of the Holy Spirit for Him to dwell in.

Most professing Christians are unholy, worldly, sinful, wicked, they are no different from the world and that is why they do not hear His voice. Jesus said:"Draw closer to Me and I will draw closer to you." Purify yourselves, cleanse yourself of all iniquity and Jesus will come and dwell in you. Seek Him with all your heart and prepare yourself, purge yourself of unrighteousness and He will come dwell in you. He will walk with you and He will talk to you. He will guide you. He will teach you. You will know Him for real.

But if you keep sin in your life, if you run after the things of the world and you are conformed to the world Jesus will not have anything to do with you.

His flock is a small, pure and holy flock that is set apart for Him. They are holy, they are pure. Purify yourself, sanctify yourself unto Him and you will have communion with Him.

May Jesus bless you.

Do Not Associate With Sinners Be Pure Be Holy

.


If you are a born again child of God then you will cringe at sin. You will run away , you will hurt, it will offend you when people use the Lord's Name in vain, when you see how people defile themselves with tattoos, when they sit and watch TV. You will cringe when you see nakedness, how women expose themselves. You will not feel at home among the sinners, the hypocrites, the false Christians. It will cause you pain to see how people live as though God does not exist and you know that they are on their way to hell.
If you are a child of God you will not feel at home in this world. We are called to be separate, to be holy, not to participate in the same things, not to go to the same places.
If you are a child of God you will not watch TV with the sinners. You will not listen to their jokes. You will not appreciate their parties.
You cannot change a sinner. You cannot change a person who loves sin. You cannot change a worldly person by associating with him, by watching TV with him, by going to the game with him. You will just become like him. You cannot change them.
We have to come out from among them. Be separate. They have to know that we do not appreciate those things. we do not fit in there. They will slander you. They will hate you but they will see Jesus Christ in you. Come out from among the sinners.
Be pure and be holy, follow Jesus Christ and be LIGHT in this world. because if we have become like the world, if we are conformed to them, if we love the same things and appreciate the same vulgarity, immorality, sinfulness, then we have fallen away and we are not suitable for the kingdom of God. If we find ourselves in the company of the sinners, the mockers, the false Christians, then we are not of Jesus any more.
Be pure and be holy. Follow Jesus Christ. Separate yourself unto Him. Lift up Jesus and you will draw others unto Him.
May Jesus bless you

The Foolish Mind - Word from the Lord May 20, 2016

The Word of the Lord came to me while I was praying. I wrote it down and share it with those who have ears:

“The Foolish Mind trusts in himself and in other people, the wisdom of men and the lies of satan. The foolish mind rejects God and the wisdom that comes from above. He trusts in what he sees and hears with his natural senses but he rejects the Spirit of God.

What eyes have not seen and ears have not heard, that which is planned in secret is not hidden to God and He reveals it to the wise, those who trust in Him and wait on Him, those who listen and believe when He speaks to them.

The foolish mind thinks that he can protect and preserve himself through his own plans and schemes but his plans are in vain because he does not know nor believe the truth.

Purify your heart, cleanse your mind and your heart, your deeds, from wickedness. Repent from your own plans and foolish wisdom and trust fully in Me. Set your mind on Me and My kingdom and I will reveal the truth to you. I will guide and teach you. I will instruct you on the way that you must go. I will teach you My ways and guide you in My truth. Trust in Me only. Stay with Me and you will find the way to Life. Endure with Me and you will enter My kingdom.

Calamity, disaster and horror will come on those who rejected Me and followed their own foolish minds.

Warn them to come to Me and be taught by Me.”

May Jesus bless you.

Being PURGED from SIN AND IMPURITY

Those who have the HOPE of salvation PURIFY THEMSELVES of sin and unrighteousness so that they can be FIT for the kingdom of heaven.

We read in 1 John 3:1 “See how great a love the Father has bestowed upon us, that we should be called children of God; and such we are. For this reason the world does not know us, because it did not know Him. 2Beloved, now we are children of God, and it has not appeared as yet what we shall be. We know that, when He appears, we shall be like Him, because we shall see Him just as He is. 3And everyone who has this hope fixed on Him PURIFIES HIMSELF, just as He is pure. 4Everyone who practices sin also practices lawlessness; and sin is lawlessness. 5And you know that He appeared in order to take away sins; and in Him there is no sin. 6No one who abides in Him sins; no one who sins has seen Him or knows Him.“

There are many believers who try to justify their sin. They have no desire to be pure. The do not know Jesus Christ. They have not met Him. They do not have the hope of salvation. If we hope in Christ then we purify ourselves of all unrighteousness and we seek to be pure and holy as He is pure and holy.

We read in the book of Daniel 12:10 “Many will be purged, purified and refined, but the wicked will act wickedly; and none of the wicked will understand, but those who have insight will understand."

People who have no desire for holiness or purity are wicked. They do not understand. Those believers who want to justify their sin, who call themselves sinners, who say that they are all sinners, they are wicked. They have no understanding because they have not met Jesus Christ and therefor we read in Revelation 22:11. He says:"Let the one who does wrong, still do wrong; and the one who is filthy, still be filthy; and let the one who is righteous, still practice righteousness; and the one who is holy, still keep himself holy." 12"Behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to render to every man according to what he has done."

Are we being purified? Are we making ourselves suitable for the kingdom of heaven? Do we have that HOPE of salvation? Do we want to be like Jesus when we see Him face to face? Are we being purified right now?

May Jesus bless you.

Holy Men

Those who follow Jesus Christ are a special people, holy men and women who are different from the world. they are separate.

We read the words of Peter in 1 Peter 2:9 "But you are A CHOSEN RACE, A royal PRIESTHOOD, A HOLY NATION, A PEOPLE FOR God’s OWN POSSESSION, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; 10for you once were NOT A PEOPLE, but now you are THE PEOPLE OF GOD; you had NOT RECEIVED MERCY, but now you have RECEIVED MERCY.

 11Beloved, I urge you as aliens and strangers to abstain from fleshly lusts which wage war against the soul. 12Keep your behavior excellent among the Gentiles, so that in the thing in which they slander you as evildoers, they may because of your good deeds, as they observe them, glorify God in the day of visitation."

We are to be different. we are the people of God. If we are not like Jesus Christ, we are certainly not His followers.

The apostle Peter also wrote in 1 Peter 1:13

"Therefore, prepare your minds for action, keep sober in spirit, fix your hope completely on the grace to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ. 14As obedient children, do not be conformed to the former lusts which were yours in your ignorance, 15but like the Holy One who called you, be holy yourselves also in all your behavior; 16because it is written, “YOU SHALL BE HOLY, FOR I AM HOLY.”

If we follow Jesus Christ we must be HOLY, we must be different, we must be separated unto Him. we must not defile ourselves with the things of the world. We cannot go to the same places and do the same things. We cannot watch the TV and participate in the same filth that this world delights in. If we follow Jesus Christ our delight is in being holy and pure and in being vessels of honor for His kingdom.

We are a royal priesthood, a special people, a HOLY NATION. Are we indeed holy men and women? Are we separated for the kingdom of God?

May Jesus bless you.

The Difference

There is a difference between winners and losers. There is a difference between those who fear God and those who don't, between those who serve Jesus Christ and those who serve themselves.

There is a difference between those who reserve themselves for the kingdom of God and those who go along with the world. There is a difference between those who just read the Bible and those who truly know and follow Jesus Christ.

Are we different? Are we serious about the kingdom of God? Do we really fear God?

Are we different?

May Jesus bless you.

Do not sin AT ALL

The wrath of God comes on mankind because of SIN. If we sin we will PERISH. The penalty for sin is death. We have to STOP SINNING and BE HOLY to LIVE. It is not enough to sin less. We must not sin at all.

We read in Luke 13:1-5

"1Now on the same occasion there were some present who reported to Him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices. 2And Jesus said to them, “Do you suppose that these Galileans were greater sinners than all other Galileans because they suffered this fate? 3“I tell you, no, but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish. 4“Or do you suppose that those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them were worse culprits than all the men who live in Jerusalem? 5“I tell you, no, but UNLESS YOU REPENT, YOU WILL ALL LIKEWISE PERISH.”

We see many natural disasters happening all over the world. We see many people being killed. If we do not REPENT, we WILL ALL LIKEWISE PERISH.

May Jesus bless you.

True Christians will suffer persecution

Jesus Christ did not promise His followers prosperity or good
fortune, He warned them that in this world they will suffer
persecution.


We read the words of Jesus in John 15:18 He said to His
disciples:“If the world hates you, you know that it has hated Me
before it hated you. 19“If you were of the world, the world would
love its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you
out of the world, because of this the world hates you. 20“Remember
the word that I said to you, ‘A slave is not greater than his
master.’ If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you; if
they kept My word, they will keep yours also. 21“But all these
things they will do to you for My name’s sake, because they do not
know the One who sent Me. 22“If I had not come and spoken to them,
they would not have sin, but now they have no excuse for their sin.
23“He who hates Me hates My Father also. 24“If I had not done
among them the works which no one else did, they would not have sin;
but now they have both seen and hated Me and My Father as well.
25“But they have done this to fulfill the word that is written in
their Law, ‘THEY HATED ME WITHOUT A CAUSE.’

If we follow Jesus Christ and we associate with Him the world will
reject us and they will hate us like they also rejected, hated and
persecuted Him.

Before Jesus was crucified He once again warned His disciples. We
read in John 16:32“Behold, an hour is coming, and has already come,
for you to be scattered, each to his own home, and to leave Me alone;
and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with Me. 33“These
things I have spoken to you, so that in Me you may have peace. In the
world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the
world.”

If we follow Jesus Christ we must be blameless, pure and holy and
the world will hate us, WITHOUT CAUSE. Many professing Christians are
SINNERS like the rest of the world and they are the ones who
persecute those who follow and obey Jesus Christ, those who are LIKE
Jesus Christ, those who OBEY Him, those who live according to His
words. But we have to OVERCOME.

Jesus Christ OVERCAME, not by fighting but by doing the will of
His Father, by seeking the approval of the Father. We need to
overcome in this world of wickedness, not by fighting back, not by
doing as the world does but by living in obedience to Jesus Christ,
by being BLAMELESS, by being PURE, by SUFFERING PERSECUTION, by
turning the other cheek, by following the guidance of the Holy Spirit
and thus doing the will of God and then we will have the approval of
Jesus Christ.

We WILL suffer persecution, we will suffer tribulation if we
follow Jesus Christ, if we associate with Him. If we do not suffer
tribulation and persecution then we are not of Jesus, then we are of
the world, then we fit in with this world. But if we are of Jesus
Christ they will hate us and persecute us without reason.


Are we being persecuted for the sake of righteousness and for the
sake of obeying and following Jesus Christ? Are we of Christ? Are we
overcoming the world or are we giving in to temptation and to sin?
Are we also sinners like the rest of those who profess to be
Christians but they are not like Jesus Christ? If we are truly like
Jesus and we follow and obey Him we will not be accepted by this
world. They will hate and persecute us but we have to OVERCOME and
thus prove that we are children of God.











May Jesus bless you.

Righteous Men are NOT Sinners

Righteous
people do their utmost to not fall into sin, to not stumble but to be
utterly righteous, pure and holy. Sinners don't care about sin and
about righteousness. Many professing Christians are sinners but the
unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God.

We
read the words of Paul in 1 Corinthians 6:9 “ 9Or do you not
know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not
be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor
effeminate, nor homosexuals, 10nor thieves, nor the covetous,
nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom
of God. 11Such were some of you; but you were washed, but you
were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus
Christ and in the Spirit of our God.”

If
we REPENT and turn away from our wicked ways and commit to follow and
obey Jesus Christ then He forgives our past sins and He justifies us
but then we have to live as Jesus Christ commanded. it must be our
WAY OF LIVING, righteousness, holiness and obedience to the commands
of Jesus Christ, His words as also recorded in the gospels, Matthew,
Mark, Luke and John. Jesus Christ is the LIGHT of the world and if
we accept Him as our Lord and Master and we obey His words He gives
the Holy Spirit in us to guide us into all truth. The Holy Spirit
lights our way and we walk in the LIGHT of the Spirit of God.

The
apostle John wrote in 1 John 1:7 "but if we walk in the Light as
He Himself is in the Light, we have fellowship with one another, and
the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin. 8If we say
that we have no sin, we are deceiving ourselves and the truth is not
in us. 9If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to
forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 10If
we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar and His word is
not in us."

Once
we have repented we cease from sinning, we obey Jesus Christ and we
SIN NO MORE. We stay away from unholiness, unrighteousness and we
walk in the LIGHT. If we walk in the LIGHT of Jesus Christ, then we
will be pure and holy. I read the words of Jesus Christ in John 3:19

“This
is the judgment, that the Light has come into the world, and men
loved the darkness rather than the Light, for their deeds were
evil. 20“For everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does
not come to the Light for fear that his deeds will be exposed. 21“But
he who practices the truth comes to the Light, so that his deeds may
be manifested as having been wrought in God.”

Those
who love darkness who love sin, they hate the LIGHT, they do not come
to the LIGHT. They walk in darkness and that is why they SIN. That is
why they are unrighteous.

If
we walk in the LIGHT then we will be disciplined and corrected and we
will accept the discipline and correction, we will mend our ways so
that we can be suitable for the kingdom of God. If we reject the
discipline and correction then we will perish. we will get CUT OFF
and BURNED.

I
read the words of Jesus in 1 John 15:1

“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. 3“You are already clean because of the word
which I have spoken to you. 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.”

Many
believers were once saved, they once followed Jesus Christ but then
they turned away and they went back to sin, they are not bearing
fruit and if they do not repent of their evil ways and live
righteously and holy they will get cut off and burned.

Righteous
men may stumble and that is why Jesus prunes them, He corrects them,
He disciplines them and they accept that discipline and correction.
They mend their ways so that they can be pure and holy and acceptable
to Him. Jesus Christ is coming for a pure bride. If we are
unrighteous and we do not submit ourselves to Him so that He can
cleanse us, purify us, so that we can be PERFECT, pleasing to Him,
then we will get cut off and burned. We will be rejected, we will not
be suitable for the kingdom of God.

Are
we RIGHTEOUS and holy, living in obedience to Jesus Christ or are we
SINNERS?

May
Jesus bless you.

Real Christians do not sin

Many people believe in
Jesus Christ but not many follow Him. Not many of the believers are
TRUE Christians, REAL Christians. A real Christian, a true follower
of Jesus Christ does not SIN, they are SAINTS, they have been set
free from sin.

Jesus Christ came to take
away the sins of the world and those whom the Son of God has set free
will be FREE and free indeed. They will be FREE FROM SIN . Jesus said
that he who sins is a slave to sin. We cannot serve two masters,
either we serve sin which leads to death or Jesus Christ sets us free
and we serve Him; we become SLAVES TO RIGHTEOUSNESS.

There were some Jews that
also believed in Jesus Christ and we read in John 8:31.

“So Jesus was saying to those Jews who had believed
Him, “If you continue in My word, then you are truly
disciples of Mine; 32and you will know the truth, and the truth
will make you free.” 33They answered Him, “We are Abraham’s
descendants and have never yet been enslaved to anyone; how is it
that You say, ‘You will become free’?”

34Jesus answered them, “Truly, truly, I say to you,
everyone who commits sin is the slave of sin. “

They were SINNERS, yet they believed that they were
free but because they were sinners they were slaves and Jesus was
telling them that if they remain IN HIS WORDS (IN OBEDIENCE TO HIM),
then they will become free, FREE FROM SIN.

35“The slave does not remain in the house forever;
the son does remain forever. 36“So if the Son makes you free,
you will be free indeed.37“I know that you are Abraham’s
descendants; yet you seek to kill Me, because My word has no place in
you. 38“I speak the things which I have seen with My Father;
therefore you also do the things which you heard from your father.”

39They answered and said to Him, “Abraham is our
father.” Jesus said to them, “If you are Abraham’s children, do
the deeds of Abraham. 40“But as it is, you are seeking to kill
Me, a man who has told you the truth, which I heard from God; this
Abraham did not do. 41“You are doing the deeds of your
father.” They said to Him, “We were not born of fornication; we
have one Father: God.” 42Jesus said to them, “If God were
your Father, you would love Me, for I proceeded forth and have come
from God, for I have not even come on My own initiative, but He sent
Me. 43“Why do you not understand what I am saying? It
is because you cannot hear My word. 44“You are
of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of
your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand
in the truth because there is no truth in him. Whenever he speaks a
lie, he speaks from his own nature, for he is a liar and
the father of lies. 45“But because I speak the truth, you do
not believe Me. 46“Which one of you convicts Me of sin?
If I speak truth, why do you not believe Me? 47“He who is of
God hears the words of God; for this reason you do not
hear them,because you are not of God.”

Sin is the issue. Many believers do not want to stop
sinning. They say they cannot stop sinning. It is because they are
slaves to sin. They do not belong to Jesus Christ, they are OWNED BY
THE DEVIL. If Jesus Christ has set us free then we will be FREE from
the dominion of sin and we will be servants of God. We cannot serve
God and sin.

The apostle Paul wrote in Romans 6:12 ”Therefore do
not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its
lusts, 13and do not go on presenting the members of your body to
sin as instruments of unrighteousness; but present
yourselves to God as those alive from the dead, and your
members as INSTRUMENTS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS to God. 14For
sin shall not be master over you, for you are not under law but under
grace.”

The grace of God through Jesus Christ SETS US FREE
from the dominion of sin so that we can walk in righteousness.

Verse15 “What then? Shall we sin because we are not
under law but under grace? May it never be! 16Do you not know
that when you present yourselves to someone as slaves for
obedience, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of sin
resulting in death, or of obedience resulting in righteousness? 17But
thanks be to God that though you were slaves of sin, you became
obedient from the heart to that form of teaching to which you were
committed, 18and having been freed from sin, you became slaves
of righteousness. 19I am speaking in human terms because of the
weakness of your flesh. For just as you presented your members as
slaves to impurity and to lawlessness, resulting
in further lawlessness, so now present your members as
slaves to righteousness, resulting in sanctification.”

If we present our bodies to Christ to do His will, it
will result in sanctification which will bring us eternal life.

Verse 20 “For when you were slaves of sin, you were
free in regard to righteousness. 21Therefore what benefit were
you then deriving from the things of which you are now ashamed? For
the outcome of those things is death. 22But now having been
freed from sin and enslaved to God, you derive your benefit,
resulting in sanctification, and the outcome, eternal life. 23For
the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life
in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

The issue is SIN. Those who sin are of the devil,
they are owned by the devil. Those whom Jesus Christ has set free,
those who truly believe in Him, the REAL CHRISTIANS, that are SAINTS,
they SIN NO MORE. They do the will of God. They live in purity,
righteousness and holiness because they have become SLAVES TO
RIGHTEOUSNESS. They have one Lord and Master, Jesus Christ and they
do His will. Those who sin are slaves to sin and they belong to
satan. Who do you belong to? Do you sin? Or are you a REAL Christian,
a real follower of Jesus Christ?

May Jesus bless you.

Discipleship TODAY Ep 6 BE SEPARATE

A born again child of God has a

different mindset. His mind is on God, on Jesus Christ and on what is
pleasing to Him. Those who are not born again, who do not know Jesus
Christ, they cannot understand nor see the kingdom of God, it does
not make sense to them. They are on a different course, they are
going a different direction.

If we follow Jesus Christ we have to
SEPARATE ourselves

from the world. We have to run that
race, following Jesus every day, we have to run that race with
endurance and stay focused on Jesus or else we will be distracted and
we will not make it into the kingdom of heaven.

The apostle Paul wrote in 2 Corinthians
6:14 "Do not be bound together with unbelievers; for what
partnership have righteousness and lawlessness, or what fellowship
has light with darkness? 15Or what harmony has Christ with
Belial, or what has a believer in common with an unbeliever?

16Or what agreement has the temple of
God with idols? For we are the temple of the living God; just as God
said,

 “I WILL DWELL IN THEM
AND WALK AMONG THEM;

  AND I WILL BE
THEIR GOD, AND THEY SHALL BE MY PEOPLE.

17“Therefore, COME OUT FROM
THEIR MIDST AND BE SEPARATE,” says the Lord.

 “AND DO NOT TOUCH WHAT IS
UNCLEAN;

  And I will welcome you.

 18“And I will be a father to
you,

   And you shall be sons
and daughters to Me,”

  Says the Lord Almighty."

If we follow Jesus Christ we have no
business with the things of the world. We do not watch TV with the
rest of the world. We do not play video games. We are not competing
in the same race. We are not interested in the same things. those
things will distract us, they will take our minds off Jesus Christ
and we will become like the rest of of the world.

The apostle John wrote in 1 John 2:15
"Do not love the world nor the things in the world. If anyone
loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.16For all that
is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and
the boastful pride of life, is not from the Father, but is from the
world. 17The world is passing away, and also its
lusts; but the one who does the will of God lives forever."

We have to SEPARATE ourselves unto God
and not go along with the rest of the world. If we go along with the
rest of the world then we expose ourselves to those influences and we
lose the reality of Jesus Christ. We become like them who are
perishing.

We read in 1 Peter 4:1 "Therefore,
since Christ has suffered in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the
same purpose, because he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased
from sin,"

Believers do not stop sinning because
they go along with the world, they are not willing to stop sinning.
They are not willing to SUFFER rejection. They are not willing to
suffer for following Jesus Christ. they rather go along in the same
lasciviousness, unbridled lust, going after the things of the world
and they are carried away by their desires. They go along with the
world and they sin and they will perish.

Peter writes in verse 2 "so as to
live the rest of the time in the flesh no longer for the lusts of
men, but for the will of God. 3For the time already past is
sufficient for you to have carried out the desire of
the Gentiles, having pursued a course of sensuality, lusts,
drunkenness, carousing, drinking parties and abominable
idolatries. 4In all this, they are surprised that you
do not run with them into the same excesses of dissipation,
and they malign you; 5but they will give account to Him who
is ready to judge the living and the dead."

If we follow Jesus Christ we have
Christ on out mind. We have the kingdom of God on our mind and we are
seeking the will of God.We seek to be pleasing to Jesus Christ. Our
treasure, that which we accumulate in our mind, in our heart, is to
do the will of God, to hear the voice of our Master, to LISTEN to
Him, to OBEY Him and to FOLLOW Him. We have no conversation with the
world. We are not interested in the same things because that which
they talk about will perish. Our interest is in the kingdom of God
and therefor we do not keep company with those who do not follow
Jesus Christ.

I read the words of Jesus in Matthew
12:35 "The good man brings out of his good treasure what is
good; and the evil man brings out of his evil treasure what is evil.
36"But I tell you that every careless word that people speak,
they shall give an accounting for it in the day of judgment. 37"For
by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be
condemned."

We have no conversation with the world,
our treasure, that which is in our heart, that must be Jesus Christ.
People talk about many things, they talk about themselves, they talk
about their church, about their religion, they talk about their
ambitions, the things that they occupy themselves with. They talk
about TV programs, about video games, about their sports, that is
their TREASURE. That is what is in their heart. If we follow Jesus
Christ then we talk about Jesus Christ, that is our conversation and
those who are not interested in Jesus will avoid us. They will stay
away from us because we have to be careful what we talk about. We
will be judged for every idle word. we have to speak the words of
God. We have to be LIGHT in this world. If we are not LIGHT then we
are darkness, then we are like the rest of the world and we will
perish.

We have to be SEPARATE unto God. Our
mind must be on Jesus Christ. He must fill us and from our mouth must
flow the words of Christ, or else we are not of the kingdom of God.
We have to be SEPARATE, we have to be LIKE Jesus.

May Jesus bless you.

Discipleship TODAY Ep 3 Need for FELLOWSHIP

Christian believers have been taught to
go to church. They have not been taught to follow Jesus Christ and
that is why they feel guilty if they do not belong to a church or if
they do not fellowship with other believers. But the fellowship that
we truly need is not that with other believers but with Jesus Christ
Himself. If we have fellowship with other people but not with Jesus,
then we are lost. We have to be in fellowship with Jesus Christ
Himself and then we can bring others into fellowship with Him, but if
we are not in fellowship with Him we are in darkness and we will
perish.

I read the testimony of the apostle
John in 1 John 1:1. He talks about KNOWING and FOLLOWING Jesus Christ
and then testifying to the world about Jesus. Verse 1:

“What was from the beginning, what we
have heard, what we have seen with our eyes, what we have looked at
and touched with our hands, concerning the Word of Life— “ He is
talking about him as disciple and the other disciples, walking with
Jesus Christ, they touched Him, they SAW Him, they HEARD Him. Verse 2
”and the life was manifested, and we have seen and testify and
proclaim to you the eternal life, which was with the Father and was
manifested to us— 3what we have seen and heard we proclaim to
you also, so that you too may have fellowship with us; and INDEED OUR
FELLOWSHIP IS WITH THE FATHER, AND WITH HIS SON JESUS CHRIST. 4These
things we write, so that our joy may be made complete.”

He tells the world about Jesus Christ.
He testifies because he KNOWS Jesus.

He goes on to say in verse 5: “This
is the message we have heard from Him and announce to you, that God
is Light, and in Him there is no darkness at all. 6If we say
that we have fellowship with Him and yet walk in the
darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth; 7BUT IF WE WALK
IN THE LIGHT AS HE HIMSELF IS IN THE LIGHT, WE HAVE FELLOWSHIP WITH
ONE ANOTHER, AND THE BLOOD OF JESUS HIS SON CLEANSES US FROM ALL
SIN.”

If we WALK WITH GOD, if we are in
FELLOWSHIP WITH GOD then the blood of Jesus Christ cleanses us of all
unrighteousness.

Verse 8 “If we say that we have no
sin, we are deceiving ourselves and the truth is not in us. 9If
we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our
sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 10If we say
that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar and His word is not in
us.”

If we walk in the Light, If we walk
with Jesus then the Light shines on us and He shows up the sin and
impurities in our lives and the Holy Spirit convicts us, we
IMMEDIATELY REPENT and walk in holiness and thus we are PURIFIED, we
are CLEANSED and we have FELLOSHIP WITH HIM. If we are not WALKING IN
THE LIGHT, if we are not walking in holiness and righteousness and
obedience to Jesus Christ then we are in darkness. If we are still IN
SIN then we are not walking in the Light, then we don't come to the
Light, we run away form the Light. If we walk in the Light then we
will be PURE as He is PURE and his blood cleanses us of all
unrighteousness.

We read in John 15:1 Jesus says ”I am
the true vine, and My Father is the vine dresser 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. 3“YOU ARE ALREADY CLEAN BECAUSE OF THE WORD
WHICH I HAVE SPOKEN TO YOU.”

What is He saying? He is saying that
because they WALK IN THE LIGHT AND THE LIGHT SHINES ON THEM and the
Holy Spirit convicts them, they are CLEANSED because IMMEDIATELY AS
THEY ARE CONVICTED they REPENT and thus they walk in holiness and in
righteousness before Him; because they WALK IN THE LIGHT.

Verse 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.”

We have to STAY IN FELLOWSHIP with
Jesus Christ. We have to ABIDE IN HIM. We have to WALK IN THE LIGHT.
Our fellowship is with HIM. If we are not in fellowship with Jesus
Christ WALKING IN THE LIGHT then we are in darkness. The fellowship
of the disciples is WITH Jesus Christ. It is only if we are in
fellowship with Him, walking in the Light that we can bring others to
the Light also and it will be OBVIOUS from our DEEDS, the fruit that
we bear, that we ARE walking in the Light because our fruit will
bring glory to God the Father.

Our fellowship is with God, that is the
fellowship that we must be concerned about and then He will use us to
bring others into fellowship with Him. We first need to WALK IN THE
LIGHT and then the Light that is in us will SHINE and draw others
unto Him.

We must not be concerned about our
fellowship with other people, our acceptance by other believers. We
must be concerned about WALKING WITH GOD, WALKING IN THE LIGHT, being
LED by the Holy Spirit and being pleasing to Jesus. That is the
only fellowship that we should be concerned about because if is only
when He is shining through us that we can draw others unto Him.

Are we in fellowship with God, with
Jesus Christ? Are we walking with God? Many people are just in
fellowship with their “church family” but they are far away from
God and they will perish. As disciples of Jesus Christ we must WALK
WITH HIM, day by day, follow Him and be in fellowship with Him until
the very end.

May Jesus bless you.

Why Church Leaders Reject God's Guidance

Church business is not God's business. It is the business of the leadership of the church. It is THEIR kingdom that they are working on, not the kingdom of God. The kingdom of God is INVISIBLE. The kingdom of God comprises of those souls who follow Jesus Christ, who are in fellowship with God Himself.

The church leadership does not want the guidance or the interference of Jesus Christ in their business. they are the leaders of THEIR church. Jesus Christ Himself is the Leader of His church, the Body of Christ, the INVISIBLE kingdom of God and all those who follow Jesus Christ are led by the Holy Spirit.

Church members are led and controlled by the leadership of the church and the church has nothing to do with the kingdom of God. It is in opposition to the kingdom of God. If we belong to the kingdom of God we do not build earthly temples, we are building onto the INVISIBLE temple of God, LIVING STONES, SOULS who are redeemed, who are led by the Holy Spirit, who do the will of God and who live daily in fellowship with Jesus Christ.

Do not seek the leadership or the fellowship of churches or church leaders or other people. Seek the fellowship and the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Go on your knees and seek Jesus Christ and He will reveal Himself to you. Our fellowship is with God our Father and with Jesus Christ His Son and we are here to to bring others into fellowship with God, not into fellowship with churches and other people. Our fellowship is with God. If we have no fellowship with God Himself then we do not belong to Him .

Do not seek the leadership of people but seek Jesus. Seek the guidance of the Holy Spirit and follow Him and you will be part of the kingdom of God. Get out of the churches of men and become part of the kingdom of God. Seek Jesus Christ and you will find Him.

May Jesus bless you.
