BE PERSISTENT IN PRAYER



Jesus taught us to be persistent in prayer. We often read the words of Jesus in the gospels and then we do not take it seriously, we just don't do what He said and then we do not receive anything. It is the doers of the Word that are rewarded. Jesus commanded us to be persistent when we pray. I read from Luke 11:5-13.

5 Then He said to them, “Suppose one of you has a friend, and goes to him at midnight and says to him, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves; 6for a friend of mine has come to me from a journey, and I have nothing to set before him’; 7and from inside he answers and says, ‘Do not bother me; the door has already been shut and my children and I are in bed; I cannot get up and give you anything.’ 8“I tell you, even though he will not get up and give him anything because he is his friend, yet because of his persistence he will get up and give him as much as he needs.



      9“So I say to you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. 10“For everyone who asks, receives; and he who seeks, finds; and to him who knocks, it will be opened. 11“Now suppose one of you fathers is asked by his son for a fish; he will not give him a snake instead of a fish, will he? 12“Or if he is asked for an egg, he will not give him a scorpion, will he? 13“If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to . He your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him?”

So many Christians, so many believers have not received the baptism in the Holy Spirit. They say it is not for everyone, they are just not persistent. When we go to the Lord in prayer We must be persistent. We must keep on knocking. He takes pleasure in it that we trust Him and keep on knocking. Obey Jesus. Be persistent in prayer.

Ask and keep on asking and we will receive.

That is why so many do not believe that Jesus will never leave them or never forsake them, even though He said so, so many times. They say that :"God has left me. Jesus will not take me back'" That is a lie from satan. You must believe what Jesus said. Jesus said:"Lo I am with you always. I will never leave you, I will never forsake you." Jesus loves you. He cares for you. He will not change. He does not change. He's not a man. Believe what He said and do what He tells you to do. Trust Him. Obey Him and you will receive. Be persistent in your walk with Jesus. Be persistent in our prayer life. and we will receive. Ask and we will receive. Knock and it will be opened unto us.

Jesus Christ is the same, yesterday, today and for ever, and He never changes, May Jesus bless you.

Jesus Christ is alive and hell is real. I am here to introduce you to Jesus Christ, so that you can know Him, follow him and have eternal life. Subscribe to my channel to learn more about Jesus.

BIGGEST PROBLEM IN THE WORLD


The biggest problem in the world is that it does not know Jesus. Most
Christians do not know Jesus, the Living God. Most professing
Christians  just believe in an image of Jesus that they have in
their minds. To most He is instrumental to a salvation that can be
had if they believe in Him and confess to do so. They believe in the
Bible and in doctrines that they have made up, sometimes using Bible
scripture to support it. They are merely religious and have no fear
of God, because they do not know Him. They do not fear Jesus, because
they do not know Him as God, and that is why they scorn, reject, mock
and despise Him.

99% of churches preach a FALSE GOSPEL. They do not preach the words and
commandments of Jesus that He personally spoke and delivered as they
were also recorded in Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. The words and
teachings of Jesus are the requirements for eternal life. Those who
disobey Jesus will not have eternal life.

Religious people, and especially churches, and church leaders have no regard
nor fear for Jesus. They are merely using the Bible and the name of
Jesus to make followers for themselves and build their church empires
by which to control and manipulate believers for their own benefit.
Many have been deceived to do so, and they believe they are doing God
a service, but if they knew Jesus, they themselves would fear and
follow Him and teach believers the same. 

Jesus is God. All power and all authority, in heaven and on earth has been
given to Him. He is the final judge of all mankind and He will decide
who will have eternal life and who will be cast into eternal
damnation. For it is written, "AS I LIVE, SAYS THE LORD, EVERY
KNEE SHALL BOW TO ME, AND EVERY TONGUE SHALL GIVE PRAISE TO GOD."
Romans 14:11.

If you believe that, you will take Jesus seriously and DO as He
commanded, you will FEAR and OBEY Him. Obviously the world and the
churches DO NOT BELIEVE who Jesus is and WHAT HE CAN DO. They do not
OBEY His words and teachings, but rather follow their own doctrines
and teachings. They do not believe that JESUS IS ALIVE and HELL IS
REAL.

Denying
the truth or ignoring it will not make it go away. WE WILL ALL DIE
and will all stand before the judgment throne of Jesus. Then it will
be too late to make any ammends. We will be judged by the words and
commandments of Jesus, the words that He spoke, nothing else. Those
who believed the lies that they preach in churches and did not obey
Jesus will perish, they will not have eternal life. Jesus warned: "
24“Therefore everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on
them, may be compared to a wise man who built his house on the rock.
25“And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and
slammed against that house; and yet it did not fall, for it had been
founded on the rock. 26“Everyone who hears these words of Mine and
does not act on them, will be like a foolish man who built his house
on the sand. 27“The rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds
blew and slammed against that house; and it fell—and great was its
fall.” Matthew 7:24-27.

If
you do receive the gospel of Jesus, His words and commandments and
you ACT ON THEM, Jesus will REVEAL Himself to you as REAL, and you
will KNOW HIM, the Living God. Then you will know Him from personal
experience, not from hearsay or from that which you read in the
Bible.

Do
not take any chances. Seek the truth for yourself. Go on your knees
and pray. Call out to Jesus and He will answer you. He will reveal
Himself to you. He is the ONLY LIVING GOD. He will answer you and you
will know Him for real.

May
Jesus bless you.

LIKE CLAY IN THE HANDS OF THE POTTER


There is only one way to serve Jesus
and the kingdom of God and that is to be led by His Spirit and to do
as He instructs us, but we have to be trained, taught and disciplined
by Him before He can use us as He wills. It is a life long calling
and we will have to bear that until the end. Just like any tree
planted in the Master’s vineyard, we will be pruned, corrected and
adapted to be able to bear more fruit. Every tree that does not bear
fruit will get cut down and burned.
We must be like clay in the hands of
the potter, moldable so that He can form and make us into whatever
shape and form is useful to Him.
Jesus calls us for His plan and
purpose. Either we answer to the call, follow Him and yield to Him or
He will discard of us. If we do not want to serve Him, we have no
place in His kingdom.
Jesus called Paul to serve Him. Paul
testified: 14“And
when we had all fallen to the ground, I heard a voice saying to me in
the Hebrew dialect, ‘Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me? It is
hard for you to kick against the goads.’ 
15“And
I said, ‘Who are You, Lord?’ And the Lord said, ‘I am Jesus
whom you are persecuting. 
16‘But
get up and stand on your feet; for this purpose I have appeared to
you, to appoint you a minister and a witness not only to the things
which you have seen, but also to the things in which I will appear to
you; 
17rescuing
you from the 
Jewish people
and from the Gentiles, to whom I am sending you, 
18to
open their eyes so that they may turn from darkness to light and from
the dominion of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of
sins and an inheritance among those who have been sanctified by faith
in Me.’ Acts 24:14-18.
Paul,
then still Saul was persecuting the followers of Jesus. He was
kicking against the goads, the prongs that Jesus had laid in his way,
but he answered to the call and followed Jesus. He was taught by
Jesus Himself through revelation.
Jesus
will take you along a very narrow specific path where you do His will
to achieve His purpose. His instruments are precise and His goals are
exact. You will be led by Him and do that which He tells you to do,
no deviation. He will break you before He makes you into a suitable
instrument to be used by Him.
He
will break your will. He will destroy your plans, your
self-confidence, your illusions and show you the bare truth that
without Him you can do nothing. Without Him we are nothing.
Jesus
is Lord. He reigns. All His servants serve Him but they will first
learn obedience through what they suffer, just like Jesus Himself
learned obedience through what He suffered.
Jesus
came to do the will of the Father, and like Him, those who become His
disciples, those who were called by Him and who answered the call,
will do His will, not their own. They will speak his words, not their
own. They will glorify Him, because He lives in them and they do His
works.
Have
we become clay in the hands of the Potter? Can He form and make us as
He pleases, or are we stubborn, unyielding, ready to be discarded?
May
Jesus bless you.

COMPLETE UTTER TRUST IN JESUS


We have to follow Jesus until the end
to have Eternal Life. Jesus said. “He who endures until the end
will be saved. The prize of eternal life is for overcomers who stayed
with Jesus and obeyed Him, and who endured with Him until the end.
The road of discipleship is the road
less travelled. It is a lonely road but it is the only road that
leads to Life. “And
someone said to Him, “Lord, are there 
just a
few who are being saved?” And He said to them, 
24“Strive
to enter through the narrow door; for many, I tell you, will seek to
enter and will not be able.” Luke 13:23,24. Few find it because few
follow Jesus.
Most
Christian Believers follow dead religious practices. They do not know
nor follow Jesus. To follow Jesus requires knowing Jesus, knowing His
voice, listening, in complete TRUST and obedience in all
circumstances. We have to stay with Jesus every step of the way, all
the way, until the end.
This
is not the message preached in churches, because they are not leading
people to Jesus. and to Life, but to damnation.
The
kingdom of God is for WINNERS, OVERCOMERS, CHAMPIONS, those who have
resisted temptation, overcome sin, overcome their own flesh, denied
themselves,, picked up their own cross and followed Jesus through all
trials, temptations, hardship, pain, good times and bad times, until
the end.
It
is humanly impossible to do what Jesus requires of us and inherit the
kingdom of God IF we do not know Him, and utterly trust and obey Him,
until the end. Without Jesus we can do nothing. The KEY is our
relationship with Jesus, nothing else. No other person, preacher,
prophet, Christian fellowship, no Bible study, other than the words
of Jesus as recorded in Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Through
obedience to the words of Jesus we will get to know Him and be able
to follow Him.
Obey
the words of Jesus, get to know Him. Completely TRUST Him, FOLLOW and
OBEY Him, UNTIL THE END, and you will have LIFE.


May
Jesus bless you.

GROWING IN YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS


Nothing is more important for a born
again child of God, than to grow in his knowledge of and relationship
with Jesus or else he will not enter the kingdom of God and will not
have eternal life. Jesus warned that He will say to many who were
born again and did many miracles, preached and even cast out demons
in His Name: ”Go away, I never knew you, you workers of
unrighteousness.”
Jesus said to His disciples: “You did
not choose Me but I chose you, and appointed you that you would go
and bear fruit, and that your fruit would remain,” John
15:16. The very same applies to us, who have received Jesus and been
born again and become His disciples. We read in John 15:1-10, Jesus
said:
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. 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.”
We have to keep the commandments of
Jesus, His words as recorded in Matthew, Mark, Luke and John to abide
in His love. Do what Jesus commanded, repent, stop sinning, be holy,
be baptized in water. It does not stop there. Jesus gives the Holy
Spirit in those who obey His commandments and seek to please Him.
Jesus 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 will disclose Myself to him.” John 14:21.
Jesus will disclose Himself to you, reveal Himself to you. Him and
the Father will come and dwell in you: “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.” John 14:23. The Father will also send
the Holy Spirit to dwell in you: “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.” John
14:26.
Jesus explained to His disciples why He
had to go away, so that the Holy Spirit could be given to be in them
and in those who would believe in Him and receive Him after His death
and resurrection. While He was physically on earth He could only be
with a few people at a time but since the Holy Spirit was given on
the day of Pentecost He lives IN those who have received Him. He is
Emmanuel, God with us. We read in John 16:5-15 “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;”us is not far away. He lives
IN THOSE who have received the Holy Spirit, those who LISTEN to Him .
They are led by the Holy Spirit. They do not act on their own
initiative and follow after their own plans. The DO the works that
Jesus prepared for them to do. They speak His words that He gives
them to say and therefor they can BEAR FRUIT for the kingdom of God.
They receive NEW REVELATION, previously not given or recorded in the
Bible. They WALK with God, they FOLLOW Jesus.
They are the mature children of God,
His sheep who LISTEN to His VOICE and follow Him and HE KNOWS THEM.
Have we through our obedience and our daily walk with Him grown up to
be mature children of God?  
May Jesus bless you.

WORSHIP IN SPIRIT AND TRUTH


Jesus said: “But an hour is coming,
and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in
spirit and truth; for such people the Father seeks to be His
worshipers. 24“God is spirit, and those who worship Him must
worship in spirit and truth.” John 4:23,24. Jesus was speaking
to the Samaritan woman at the well and was referring to the Holy
Spirit that would be given when He said to her: “If you knew the
gift of God, and who it is who says to you, ‘Give Me a drink,’
you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living
water.”  14but whoever drinks of the water that I will
give him shall never thirst; but the water that I will give him will
become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life.” John
4:10,14.
The Holy Spirit was given on the day of
Pentecost, after Jesus had been crucified, resurrected and ascended
to heaven. It was first given to Jesus’ disciples and thereafter to
those who believed and obeyed the gospel. They were filled with the
Holy Spirit and began speaking in other tongues, WORSHIPING IN SPIRIT
AND IN TRUTH. We read in Acts 2:38,39 “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.” 
Every born again child of God needs to
be born of water (through baptism) and born of the Spirit of God,
through the Holy Spirit baptism. When baptized in the Holy Spirit,
they will speak in tongues, a well of living water springing up to
eternal life. The Holy Spirit baptism brings in the receiver a never
ending fountain of LIFE, that regenerates, revives and sustains them
if they keep on praying in tongues. Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 14:2
“For one who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God;
for no one understands, but in his spirit he speaks
mysteries.” Verse 4 “One who speaks in a tongue edifies himself;”
The Holy Spirit enables the Spirit
filled believer to pray through the Spirit according to the will of
God. Romans 8:26 “In 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.”
When praying in tongues the worshiper
does not know what he is praying, because the Spirit intercedes
through him. “14For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my
mind is unfruitful. 15What is the outcome then? I will
pray with the spirit and I will pray with the mind also; I will sing
with the spirit and I will sing with the mind also.” 1 Corinthians
14:14. The Holy Spirit provides the utterings conveying the message
to God according to the will of God. Because your mind is not working
while praying in tongues, you can be praying in the Spirit while
going about your daily activities, driving a car, cleaning, doing any
work, even mental work. The Holy Spirit filled believer can and must
be praying in the Spirit all day long. It need not be out loud, it
can be in our mind.
Worship in SPIRIT AND TRUTH must be
done in private, not to be seen by others. Paul writes: “I thank
God, I speak in tongues more than you all; 19however, in the
church I desire to speak five words with my mind so that I may
instruct others also, rather than ten thousand words in a tongue.”
1 Corinthians 14:18.
The Holy Spirit
baptism with tongues is promised to all true worshipers, because the
Spirit enables them to worship in SPIRIT and in TRUTH. The TRUE
WORSHIPERS pray in tongues. Do not let anybody tell you it is only
for some. Baptism in the Holy Spirit is always accompanied with
tongues. Other gifts of the Spirit follow AFTER being initially
baptized in the Spirit. The tongues that accompany baptism in the
Holy Spirit are for edification of the INDIVIDUAL. The gifts that
follow are for the COMMON GOOD of the ASSEMBLY.
“4Now there are varieties of gifts,
but the same Spirit. 5And there are varieties of ministries, and
the same Lord. 6There are varieties of effects, but the same God
who works all things in all persons. 7But to each one is
given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. 8For
to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, and to another
the word of knowledge according to the same Spirit; 9to another
faith by the same Spirit, and to another gifts of healing by the one
Spirit, 10and to another the effecting of miracles, and to
another prophecy, and to another the distinguishing of spirits, to
another various kinds of tongues, and to another the
interpretation of tongues. 11But one and the same Spirit works
all these things, distributing to each one individually just as He
wills.” 1 Corinthians 12:4-11.
The Baptism in the Holy Spirit is the
inheritance of the TRUE WORSHIPERS, those who wish to worship God in
SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH. If you do not speak in tongues you have not yet
received the baptism in the Holy Spirit. Start earnestly worshiping
Jesus. Spend some time in the prayer closet, praising Jesus, yearning
for Him and His righteousness, His confirmation. Examine yourself.
How close are you to Jesus? Is He still your first love? Are there
hidden sins in your life that you need to repent of? Idols? Things
that you love more than Jesus, things that you need to get rid of,
repent of? Have you truly repented, been baptized in water and
committed to Jesus? Are you living holy? Draw closer to Jesus and He
will draw closer to you. Jesus will gladly baptize you in the Holy
Spirit. Become a true worshiper.


May Jesus bless you.

DO YOU HAVE THE WORD IN YOU?


”The Word became flesh and made His
dwelling among us.” John 1:14. Jesus Christ is the Word if
God.  “The first MAN, Adam, BECAME A LIVING SOUL.”
The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.” 1 Corinthians
15:45. Jesus Christ is the second Adam. Jesus gives of His Spirit,
the Holy Spirit, to dwell in those who have received Him and who OBEY
Him. The born-again children of God are a temple of the Holy Spirit,
Jesus, who dwells in them. They have the Word of God IN them.
Many people profess to be Christians
and they have Bible knowledge in their heads, but they do not have
Jesus in their hearts. They do not have the Word of God in them.
The Bible is not the Word of God. It is
the Scriptures. Having the Scriptures in your head does not give you
life. You must have the Spirit of Christ, the Holy Spirit dwelling in
you.
The Holy Spirit is implanted in you
when you RECEIVE Jesus. We read in James 1:21 “Therefore, putting
aside all filthiness and all that remains of wickedness, in humility
receive the word implanted, which is able to save your souls.”
Bible study and indoctrination cannot
change you into a child of God. Jesus changes you when you receive
and obey Him. You are born again of the Spirit of God, and the Word
of God comes and dwells in you. That is the reality of Emmanuel,
Christ dwelling among and in those who have RECEIVED Him and who
FOLLOW and OBEY Him. They are His sheep. They listen to His voice and
they follow Him. It is through communion with Jesus, that we become
like Him, through prayer and obedience, not through Bible study.
The modern church is dead. They have
Bibles, doctrines, preachers and facilities, but they do not have the
Word of God in them. Jesus does not dwell in them. Jesus is the
Spirit. He gives LIFE to those in whom He dwells.
Do you have the Word of God in you?
Does Jesus dwell in you?
May Jesus bless you.

WITHOUT LOVE ALL IS IN VAIN


Many Christians serve and obey Jesus
out of fear and duty. They pray, witness, read the Bible, do charity
and give financial support because they fear not obeying the Lord’s
commandments. Many support churches and pay tithes because they are
told that they are robbing God and they will lose blessings if they
don’t.
Jesus requires that we obey Him out of
love, not out of fear or duty. We read in John 21:15 “Jesus said to
Simon Peter, “Simon, son of John, do you love Me more
than these?” He said to Him, “Yes, Lord; You know that I love
You.” He said to him, “Tend My lambs.” 16He said to him
again a second time, “Simon, son of John, do you love
Me?” He said to Him, “Yes, Lord; You know that I love You.” He
said to him, “Shepherd My sheep.” 17He said to him the third
time, “Simon, son of John, do you love Me?” Peter was
grieved because He said to him the third time, “Do you love Me?”
And he said to Him, “Lord, You know all things; You know that I
love You.” Jesus said to him, “Tend My sheep.
Many believers love their sin, worldly
friends, fun, entertainment, TV, cellphones, holidays, fleshly
pleasures, hobbies, even their pets, more than Jesus. Their obedience
to Jesus is a burden to them. To pray is a duty. Many fast because
they think they can move God to listen to their prayers by their
sacrifice of food, but they have no desire for Jesus. They do not
fast to take time to pray, meditate and get closer to Jesus. Many
want Jesus to speak to them, but they have no desire for Jesus, they
just want to use Him as a fortune teller to direct them to
prosperity.
Doing charity out of duty is not
pleasing to the Lord. We need to have compassion and really care.
Preachers sometimes pray for people for healing, but they do not
really care for the sick. Jesus felt compassion for the sick and
afflicted. If we do not have real compassion our charity, offerings
and prayers are hollow, meaningless.
If we pray out of duty, without love in
our hearts to Jesus, our prayers are void, selfish and meaningless
and we must not expect to receive anything.
Jesus said that He will disclose
Himself to those who love Him. We read in John 14:21 “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.” Obeying the Lords words and commandments, without
love, is in vain.
Many think they will have eternal life
if they believe in Jesus, and obey the gospel, repent and are
baptized in water. Some even receive the baptism in the Holy Spirit,
with speaking in tongues, but they do not stay with Jesus and keep on
obeying Him, because they do not love Him.
We can fool ourselves and we can fool
other people, but we cannot fool Jesus. We can say that we love Jesus
but He knows our true feelings. If we really love Jesus, we will
gladly serve Him from our heart, every day. We will pray, wait on
Him, listen to Him, follow and obey Him.
Do we really love Jesus or are we
practicing religion?
May Jesus bless you.

LIFE in your Relationship - Being BORN AGAIN


Eternal life is in our relationship
with Jesus. If we do not know Him and have no relationship with Him,
then we have no hope of eternal life. Without Jesus, we can do
nothing.
Jesus calls us to follow Him, so that we can have eternal
life. Jesus said:"My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and
they follow Me; and I give eternal life to them, and they will never
perish; and no one will snatch them out of My hand." John
10:27,28.
Jesus calls us into relationship with Him, communion
with Him, a constant fellowship. He says:"Follow Me." How
shall we follow Him, whom we cannot see, nor hear?
God is spirit.
Jesus is the Life Giving Spirit. We are spirit but we have to be born
again of the Spirit of God to enter the kingdom of heaven. Jesus
said:" unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of
God." John 3:3. and " unless one is born of water and the
Spirit he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. 6“That which is
born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is
spirit." John 3:5,6.
Jesus gives New Life to those who
RECEIVE Him. They are BORN AGAIN. "12But as many as received
Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to
those who believe in His name, 13who were born, not of blood nor of
the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God." John
1:12,13.
Those who are BORN AGAIN come into COMMUNION with
Jesus. He speaks to them in their SPIRIT, they HEAR Him, they are His
sheep. They become CHILDREN OF GOD, and as children of God, they have
to obey the RULES of God, which are the words and commandments of
Jesus as they were also recorded in Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. The
Holy Spirit, that Jesus gives in those who are BORN AGAIN speaks the
same rules and reminds the children of God of the words of Jesus.
Even if they do not have a Bible the Holy Spirit teaches them the
same rules, the same words and commandments of Jesus. The LAWS of
God, the commandments of Jesus are written in their hearts.
Through
the Holy Spirit, that He gives\gfvb to dwell in them, Jesus
COMMUNICATES with them, teaches them, guides them, comforts them.
Through His Spirit living in them they are in communion with Him, a
real LIVING relationship, through constant prayer and spiritual
interaction. They follow and obey Jesus because they LISTEN to Him.
They are in a LIVE, REAL RELATIONSHIP with the Living God, Jesus
Christ.
That is what 99% of Christianity does not understand nor
practice. They are practicing DEAD RELIGION and therefor they PERISH,
because they do not know nor follow Jesus.
It is our relationship
with Jesus, through the guidance and interaction of the Holy Spirit,
that makes us children of God and brings us into His kingdom. "Those
who are being led by the Spirit of God, they are the children of
God." Romans 8:14.
Church, Bible study, church activities,
fellowship with other Christians, those things are NOT fellowship
with Jesus. They are for the most part distractions from a real
relationship with Jesus.
The authenticity of our relationship with
Jesus depends on our communion and interaction with Him through the
Holy Spirit that He makes to dwell in those who love and seek
Him.
May Jesus bless you.

THE BIGGEST DECEPTION IS IN THE CHURCH


The biggest deception is in the church
and satans biggest tool of deception is the Bible. satan is the
father of lies and he is the master deceiver, that is why he does his
most damaging work where it would be least expected, in churches.
Just like he used the Scriptures to tempt Jesus, he most successfully
uses the Bible to deceive Christians.
The vast majority of
churches preach false doctrines, twisting Bible scripture and adding
their own doctrines to mislead the believers, promising them
salvation based on lies and falsehoods. The bigger the church, and
the more famous the preacher, the bigger the deception. The true
gospel of Jesus Christ does not have many followers.
The modern
Bible has 66 books and many chapters, but it is only a small part of
the Book that leads to eternal life, and that is the words of Jesus
Christ, as also recorded in Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. The Old
Testament leads up to the coming of Jesus, who preached the kingdom
of God. The apostles, in the New Testament, preached the gospel of
the kingdom, the words of Jesus.
The words of Jesus are
SPIRIT and they are LIFE. They lead those who obey them to eternal
life. That is why the words of Jesus are not preached in most
churches. When they are preached, they are softened, down played and
made less important, while the false doctrines of men are emphasized.
Jesus warned the pharisees: "BUT IN VAIN DO THEY WORSHIP ME,
TEACHING AS DOCTRINES THE COMMANDMENTS OF OF MEN." Matthew
15:9.
Most churches disregard the words of Jesus. Some teach that
water baptism is not necessary, disobeying the commands of Jesus.
Others baptize infants, which is an invalid practice. Baptism only
follows repentance and confession of faith in Jesus, which an infant
cannot do.
If we do not even obey Jesus in the least, how shall we
obey Him in greater things. Many churches preach that it is
impossible to stop sinning, which is a doctrine of satan. They preach
a false grace gospel, based on twisting the words of the apostle
Paul. Believers foolishly run after these false preachers and
deceivers, blind leaders of the blind, leading them to a certain
destruction. 
Church members follow after their
church, not after Jesus. They uphold the teachings and doctrines of
the churches, which are a mixture of Bible scripture and the rules of
men, rather than the words and commandments of Jesus. They are
religious bigots, not followers of Jesus. That is why they will
perish. They have been deceived by satan through false church
doctrines and twisted Bible scripture.
Jesus Christ alone is the
WAY, the LIFE and the TRUTH. Obey His words, repent and be baptized,
live according to His commandments, as recorded in Matthew, Mark,
Luke and John. Get out of church, stop following men. Follow Jesus
and He will give you eternal life.
May Jesus bless you.

WALKING IN VICTORY


The born again child of God is empowered to live in victory over the
flesh and the world. The power does not lie in the person himself,
but in the Spirit that dwells in him, the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of
Christ. Many claim to be born again but they are not victorious. They
are tossed around by every new teaching and they do not have victory
over the devil and the flesh.
If
we follow Jesus and are guided by the Holy Spirit, the devil and the
flesh will have no control over us. The devil controls, deceives and
destroys the world through lies. He leads people down the road of
destruction because they listen to him.
Jesus
is the Good Shepherd His sheep hear His voice and they follow Him.
He guides and protects them, and He gives them eternal life. Jesus
cares for all His sheep, but not all of His sheep listen to Him and
follow Him, and that is why they are being destroyed. They listen to
other people, they follow after preachers and churches, the wolves
in sheep’s clothing.
Jesus
gives His Holy Spirit in everyone who seeks and obeys Him, who
repents and is baptized, who obeys His teachings and commandments as
recorded in Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Jesus guides His own
sheep. He did not appoint other shepherds. Most Christian believers
are not His sheep, they were never born again. Others were born
again but they are not following Jesus and that is why they are
deceived, defeated and destroyed by satan.
Are
you WALKING IN VICTORY? Are you following Jesus, the Good Shepherd,
or are you following after strangers and being destroyed?


When
last did you read the 23rd Psalm and does it have real meaning to
you? Is Jesus, your Lord and Shepherd?
1The
LORD is my shepherd,
I shall not want.
2He makes me lie down in green
pastures;
He leads me beside quiet waters.



3He restores my soul;
He
guides me in the paths of righteousness
For His name’s sake.



 4Even though I walk
through the valley of the shadow of death,
I fear no evil, for
Thou are with me;
Thy rod and Thy staff, they comfort me.



5Thou preparest a table before
me in the presence of mine enemies: Thou anointest my head with oil;
my cup runneth over.



6Surely goodness and mercy
shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the
house of the LORD for ever.



May
Jesus bless you.

CAN YOU STOP SINNING IN YOUR OWN POWER?


The whole world is in the power of the evil one, because of sin. The
reason for sin and corruption is lust. People sin when they follow
their own sinful desires. People become addicted and demon possessed
when they open the door to demons through sin, watching TV,
pornography, reading evil books, like Harry Potter, video games, and
substance abuse. Then they become compelled and driven by evil forces
that seek to destroy them. They lose control of themselves. They are
slaves to sin and cannot escape. The wages of sin is death. The soul
that sins will die. As long as you keep on sinning you are doomed and
destined for hell and destruction.
 
That
is why Jesus came, to take away the sins of the world, to set the
captives free, those who are bound by sin. We read in John 1:29, John
the Baptist saw Jesus coming to him and said:"Behold, the
Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!” 
 
Only
Jesus can set you free from the bondage of sin. We read in John 8:34
Jesus said: “Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who commits sin
is the slave of 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. If the Son of God, Jesus, sets you
free. You will not be a slave to sin any more, you will be FREE from
the bondage of sin.
 
If
you come to Jesus and ACCEPT Him, He will set you free and make you
NEW inside, a child of God. We read in John 1:12 “But as many as
received Him, to them He gave the power to become children of God,
even to those who believe in His name, 13who were born, not of blood
nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.”
You MUST be BORN AGAIN.
 
If
you RECEIVE Jesus, EMBRACE Him, ACCEPT Him as you Lord and Master,
COME TO Him, bow down before Him, SUBMIT yourself to Him; PRAY, cry
out to Him to SAVE you, He will save you from your sin. He will set
you free from the bondage of sin, but you need to stay with Jesus and
OBEY Him, to stay free.
 
Repent,
turn away from sin and from your previous lifestyle of worldliness
and going after the desires of the flesh.
 Follow
after Jesus,  stop sinning, live holy. Be baptized in water
for the forgiveness of your sins. Live according to
the words of 
 Jesus as they were
recorded in Matthew,  Mark,  Luke and John. 
 
If
you turn away from Jesus and go back to sin, you will
become MORE ENSLAVED than before you met Jesus, you will be
worse off than before. That is why many Christians
are wicked 
 sinners who are
unable to stop sinning. No wonder that the writer of Hebrews
wrote
 in Hebrews 6:4 “For
in the case of those who have once been enlightened and have tasted
of the heavenly gift and have been made partakers of the Holy
Spirit, 5and
have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to
come, 6and then
 have
fallen away, it is impossible to renew them again to repentance,
since they again crucify to themselves the Son of God and put Him to
open shame. 7For
ground that drinks the rain which often falls on it and brings forth
vegetation useful to those for whose sake it is also tilled, receives
a blessing from God; 8but
if it yields thorns and thistles, it is worthless and close to being
cursed, and it ends up being burned.
” 
It
is however not the end of the line for those who have back-slided.
There is hope
 if such a person truly
repents, as we see in the parable of the
 prodigal
son
 in Luke 15:11-32. If
you are a prodigal son or daughter, RUN back to the
Father's
 house before
it might be forever too late.
 
Sinners
will NOT enter heaven, if they do not repent and stop sinning.
Without holiness no
 one will see the
Lord.
 As long as you keep sinning, you
are DEAD in sin and DOOMED to damnation.
 
You
can only stay FREE FROM SIN as long as you stay with Jesus. Without
Jesus we can do nothing.  If you sin and end up in
hell, you only have yourself to blame, because you rejected
Jesus and went away from Him. 
 
Run
to Jesus. Ask Him to save you. Then obey and stay
 with
Him. Be holy and SIN NO MORE.
 
May
Jesus bless you.

ARE YOU LIVING A LIE OR WALKING IN TRUTH


Most professing Christians are living a
lie, they are not following Jesus. They are not in the Light, they
are in darkness. They believe in Jesus but they refuse to come to Him
and walk with Him. They refuse to obey Him. They refuse to repent,
stop sinning and be baptized in water. They refuse to live holy. They
refuse to seek His will and do it, but they believe they have
salvation.
They believe lies because they do not
seek the truth, they seek their own ways. They think that they have
salvation because they are religious. They are church goers. They pay
their tithes and do charities. They study the Bible. Many are
preachers and church leaders. They cast out demons and perform
miracles in the Name of Jesus, but they love the world and the things
of the world. They love money, status and the acceptance and approval
of people. They love their comforts entertainment, worldly pleasures,
lust of the flesh and worldly securities. They are more lovers of
pleasure than lovers of God. They are living in sin. They are only
fooling themselves because they are heading to destruction. They are
separated from God by sin and all their idols. They listen to the
false prophets.
Jesus said:“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.

Jesus Christ alone is the WAY, the LIFE
and the TRUTH. Only those who OBEY and FOLLOW Him, will walk in
TRUTH. Jesus gives His Holy Spirit in and with those who seek Him and
OBEY Him, repent and are baptized in water. The Holy Spirit is the
Spirit of Truth, He will guide them into all truth IF they listen to
and obey Him.
Have you repented and been baptized in
water? Have you received the Holy Spirit? Are you LISTENING to Him
and walking in TRUTH, or are you living a lie?
May Jesus bless you.

IN JEOPARDY OF GOD'S WRATH


Many people put themselves in jeopardy
of God's wrath and retribution every day because they willfully go on
sinning. They do not even make an effort to be righteous. Many of
them are Christians. They are playing with FIRE.
" We read in Romans 1:18”For the wrath of God is revealed
from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who
suppress the truth in unrighteousness, 19because that which is
known about God is evident within them; for God made it evident to
them. 20For since the creation of the world His invisible
attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly
seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are
without excuse. 21For even though they knew God, they did not
honor Him as God or give thanks, but they became futile in their
speculations, and their foolish heart was darkened. 22Professing
to be wise, they became fools, 23and exchanged the glory of the
incorruptible God for an image in the form of corruptible man and of
birds and four-footed animals and crawling creatures.


      24Therefore God gave them over
in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, so that their bodies would
be dishonored among them. 25For they exchanged the truth of God
for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the
Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.


      26For this reason God gave
them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged the
natural function for that which is unnatural, 27and in the same
way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and
burned in their desire toward one another, men with men committing
indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of
their error.


      28And just as they did not see
fit to acknowledge God any longer, God gave them over to a depraved
mind, to do those things which are not proper, 29being filled
with all unrighteousness, wickedness, greed, evil; full of envy,
murder, strife, deceit, malice; they are gossips, 30slanderers,
haters of God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil,
disobedient to parents, 31without understanding, untrustworthy,
unloving, unmerciful; 32and although they know the ordinance of
God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, they
not only do the same, but also give hearty approval to those who
practice them.”


People think that God does not see. Many Christians think that
they are under grace and that God will not punish them for their
wickedness, but they are making a grave mistake. They are constantly
placing themselves in jeopardy. Judgment is coming. If they do not
repent of their wickedness and stop sinning, they are heading for
certain destruction.


Romans 2:4”Or do you think lightly of the riches of His kindness
and tolerance and patience, not knowing that the kindness of God
leads you to repentance? 5But because of your stubbornness and
unrepentant heart you are storing up wrath for yourself in the day of
wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God, 6who WILL
RENDER TO EACH PERSON ACCORDING TO HIS DEEDS: 7to those who
by perseverance in doing good seek for glory and honor and
immortality, eternal life; 8but to those who are selfishly
ambitious and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, wrath
and indignation. 9There will be tribulation and distress
for every soul of man who does evil, of the Jew first and also of the
Greek, 10but glory and honor and peace to everyone who does
good, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. 11For there is no
partiality with God.”


You will not get away with sin. The wages of sin is death. You
will be duly punished. GOD WILL RENDER TO EACH PERSON ACCORDING TO
HIS DEEDS.


Repent or you will perish. Repent of
your sins and stop sinning. Be baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ
for the forgiveness of your sins. Sin no more. Be holy Make peace
with God and stay at peace with Him. SIN NO MORE.
May Jesus bless you.

A NEW CREATION IN CHRIST



We read in 2 Corinthians 5:17 “Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come.” If anyone is in Christ then he is not a sinner any more. He does not practice sin, he is a saint. He does not do the same things that he used to do, he does not go the same places and he does not have the same worldly friends any more.
We read further in 2 Corinthians 6:14-18. “14Do 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 you are born again and baptized in water you will be different from what you were before. We read in Galatians 3:27 “For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ.”
The apostle Paul wrote in Romans 6:1-7 “What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin so that grace may increase? 2May it never be! How shall we who died to sin still live in it? 3Or do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus have been baptized into His death? 4Therefore we have been buried with Him through baptism into death, so that as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we too might walk in newness of life. 5For if we have become united with Him in the likeness of His death, certainly we shall also be in the likeness of His resurrection, 6knowing this, that our old self was crucified with Him, in order that our body of sin might be done away with, so that we would no longer be slaves to sin; 7for he who has died is freed from sin.”
We must remain in Christ to bear fruit, us in Him and Him in us, in our mind, in our thoughts, in our heart, in our plans. Without  Jesus we can do nothing. Jesus said:”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, 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.”
Many believers were once born again, they were grafted into the True Vine, Jesus Christ but they are not bearing fruit, because they did not stay in Jesus. They did not stay with Him, did not follow and obey Him. They are not in Christ. They are in sin and in disobedience. They are in the world, running after the pleasures of sin and after their own desires. They are close to being cut off and burned. If they do not repent and turn from their evil ways, they will be taken out and end up in hell. The message in Revelation 3:1 speaks to them:” ‘I know your deeds, that you have a name that you are alive, but you are dead. 2‘Wake up, and strengthen the things that remain, which were about to die; for I HAVE NOT FOUND YOUR DEEDS COMPLETED in the sight of My God. 3‘Remember therefore what you have received and heard; and keep it, and repent. If therefore you will not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what hour I will come upon you. 4‘But you have a few people in Sardis who have not soiled their garments; and they will walk with Me in white; for they are worthy. 5‘He who overcomes shall thus be clothed in white garments; and I will not erase his name from the book of life, and I will confess his name before My Father, and before His angels. 6‘He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.’
Dear friend, are you still IN CHRIST? Are your deeds complete? Is Jesus pleased with your fruit? Are you following Jesus in holiness and obedience? Is your name still in the book of life or is it in danger of being erased? Repent, and return to Jesus and bear good fruit, before it is too late.
May Jesus bless you.

TRUSTING IN JESUS - REAL FAITH



Many Christians say that they believe in Jesus and trust in Him, but their faith is false and their trust  is shallow because they disobey Him  and they refuse to follow Him. They have been told that they only need to believe in Jesus and trust in Him to have eternal life. That faith will not save them. They  believe a false doctrine that is based on half truths and lies. They love the false gospel  because it is an easy gospel.

The truth is often uncomfortable and painful, but unless we seek the truth  and embrace it we will suffer when it catches up with us. The words of Jesus are not all pleasant because they are truth. People were often  offended by His words.  That is why many of His disciples left Him, and no longer  followed Him. That is why the Jews hated, rejected  and had Him crucified.



Jesus gives eternal  life  to those who accept Him, follow Him and Obey Him. The words of Jesus, as recorded in the gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke  and John  are the words of eternal life, for those who accept  Jesus  and obey them. There is no  other way to have salvation.

Everybody wants eternal life.  Nobody wants to spend  eternity in hell, in eternal  torment, but few are willing  to accept Jesus  as their Lord  and Master, and live according to His teachings. Even fewer are willing to give up their own plans, dreams and ambitions to follow Jesus to live their lives for Him and do what He requires. That is why so few will enter heaven and have eternal life.



If we really believe in Jesus we will fear, love and obey Him. If we really trust Him, we will follow Him.

Do you believe in Jesus? Have you repented of sin? Have you stopped practicing sin? Have you been baptized in water for the forgiveness of your sin? Have you received the Baptism in the Holy Spirit and are you following His guidance?

Do you trust and obey Jesus? Is your faith real?

May Jesus bless you.

Not at home in church



True followers of Jesus Christ do not feel at home in any church institution because institutional churches are not the house of God. God is not in those churches. They do not belong to the Father. They are not of the kingdom of God. Institutional churches belong to the institution. Their assets belong to the institution. They are institutions of men, evil men who deceive the people, using the Name of Jesus and the Bible. Their preachers are CEO's and hirelings that preach the church doctrine and rules. They are incorporated with government, 501c3 corporations, tax exempt, that perform duties such as marriages, acting as government officials, under government license.

Those who belong to Jesus cannot belong to a church institution. They have fellowship with Jesus and with other born again followers of Jesus because they are of the sames Spirit, the Holy Spirit. They have no fellowship with church goers and church members. Institutional Church members have different spirits, they have religious spirits, demons.

The true born again children of God, themselves are the temple of the Holy Spirit in whom He dwells. They cannot and will not submit themselves to the leadership of the institutional churches, because they belong to and submit themselves to God, and follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit. They follow the Shepherd, Jesus. They do not follow after men and women. One is their Leader, their Teacher and their Lord, Jesus Christ, Himself. “Those who are being led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.”Romans 8:14.

Many who belong to churches are called by Jesus and some of them become born again but they cling to their churches, they refuse to go after Jesus and follow Him. Some try to change the church, but they are either rejected or they stay in the church, where they spiritually die. They cannot be fruitful for the kingdom of God if they do not come out of the church and follow Jesus. Church institutions is the high way to hell and many are on it.

If you want have eternal life and be part of the kingdom of God, you have to have come out of church and follow Jesus. Obey the gospel of Jesus Christ, His words as recorded in Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Repent and be baptized in water for the forgiveness of your sin. Seek Jesus and He will baptize you in the Holy Spirit. You will be born again and the Holy Spirit will guide you into all truth. Follow Jesus until the end and you will have LIFE.  If you stay in church you will die in your sins.

May Jesus bless you.

Get in Sync with God's Plan for your life



The world is rushing over the cliff because the church is no longer following Jesus. The church has been taken over by humanism and satanism, because the gospel of Jesus Christ is not preached any more. Churches preach myths, lies, doctrines of men.
Jesus never changed. His words and commands, His gospel, never changed. The gospel of Jesus Christ brings you into sync with Him, with His plan, His purpose.
Jesus is Lord, He is God. We read In Colossians 1:15”He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. 16For by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things have been created through Him and for Him. 17He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together. 18He is also head of the body, the church; and He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, so that He Himself will come to have first place in everything. 19For it was the Father’s good pleasure for all the fullness to dwell in Him, 20and through Him to reconcile all things to Himself, having made peace through the blood of His cross; through Him, I say, whether things on earth or things in heaven.”
Jesus is the Head of the church, His body, but the church in the world today is not listening to, nor following the Head. They are following after men, inspired by satan, blind leaders of the blind and they are all heading for the ditch.
There is a remnant, a few people who have separated themselves from the worldly churches and they are following Jesus, the Head. They are not part of the organizational churches. They are being led by the Holy Spirit and they are in sync with Jesus, with His plan. They are of His kingdom. They are the sons of God, the children of God, that do the will of God.
Jesus called me as a young child and even then, more than 50 years ago I knew, in my spirit, that the worldly churches were not of the kingdom of God. I could not associate with a church. The Holy Spirit in me was repulsed by the idea of going to a Bible school and becoming a pastor, because that is the way of the world, not the way of the Spirit. Pastors are brainwashed in Bible schools and then they become hirelings that work for church organizations. They preach lies, the doctrines of men, not the gospel of Jesus Christ. They are dictated by the church hierarchy. They are not led by the Holy Spirit, they are not of the kingdom of God.
Although I was called by Jesus, I could not see my way clear to preach the gospel and be a servant of a church organization. I did not know what to do, but when Jesus called me again, I was in my thirties. I was doing well in business. I asked Jesus. I said:”Lord, I will follow Thee, but I ask one thing, please do not let me be dependent on people for livelihood, because paid preachers compromise the truth for the acceptance of men.”
One morning I woke up early and I heard a voice saying to me:”Go and make disciples of all nations, go where I send you. Take their hand and put it in My hand, I will guide them.” I had much to learn. I had to get a new mindset, but Jesus taught me, to be a disciple and to make disciples, that hear His voice and follow Him, the Head. That is the only way to be pleasing to Jesus and to enter His kingdom. We must become disciples and make disciples as Jesus taught and commanded His disciples to do. There is no easy gospel like they preach in the lying churches. There is only one way and that is to be born again and to come in sync with Jesus, be led by the Holy Spirit and follow Him every day, until the end.
Jesus said:”My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me;” John 10:27. There is only one way to become one of His sheep and that is to obey the gospel of Jesus Christ, His words as they were also recorded in the gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Believe in Jesus, Accept Him as your Lord and Master and OBEY Him. Repent, turn away from sin and running after your own mind, be baptized in water for the forgiveness of your sin and then Submit yourself to Jesus. Sin no more, be holy, live in obedience to Jesus' commands. Seek Him with all your heart in prayer and He will make you new inside. You will be born again, a child of God. He will baptize you in the Holy Spirit. He will give of His Spirit to dwell in you and be with you. He will speak to you, will teach and guide you into all truth, IF you keep on seeking Him, IF you stay with Him. You will come into sync with His will for you.
Are you interested in God's kingdom? Do you want to spend eternity in heaven? Then you have to get in sync with Him and you have to follow His plan, not your own. Your own plans will lead to destruction. If you follow after people and churches, you will go over the cliff with them, you will fall into the ditch. You have to follow the Head, Jesus, to be part of His Body, His church, His kingdom.
Not many follow Jesus. His sheep are few, His flock is small. Are you part of His flock? Do you hear His voice and follow Him?
May Jesus bless you.

Just BELIEVING In Jesus Is Not Enough



Many Christians think that they will have salvation if they believe in Jesus and confess their faith. They quote selected verses from the Bible like John 3:16 “For God so
loved the world, that He gave His only Son, that whoever
believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life.” and John
11:25,26: “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in
Me will live, even though he dies. 26And everyone who lives and
believes in Me will never die.“ However, those were not the only
words that Jesus spoke.
He also said to His disciples: “All
authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19Go therefore
and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of
the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20teaching
them to observe ALL that I have commanded you.”Matthew 28:18-20.
He commanded His disciples to make disciples who OBEY ALL His
commandments, not just some of them. He said:”teaching them to
observe ALL that I have commanded you.”
Jesus did not just command His
disciples to tell them to believe or to teach others just to believe
in Him. He said:“Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to
the whole creation. 16WHOEVER BELIEVES AND IS BAPTIZED will be saved,
but whoever does not believe will be condemned.” Mark 16:15,16.
The words of Jesus, are the words of
eternal life, His commandments, His teachings, as also recorded in
Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. The only way to have the HOPE of
eternal life is to OBEY Jesus. Believe, repent, be baptized in water
and OBSERVE/OBEY ALL that He commanded, or else you will not have
eternal life.
May Jesus bless you.

How to be fruitful in Jesus



There is no way that any born again Christian can be fruitful and effective in the kingdom of God if they do not remain IN Christ. People might regard themselves as fruitful but God is the judge, nobody else. Many preachers have big churches and they quote some big numbers that might impress people, but all that counts in the final analysis, is whether God approves of them.

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." Jesus goes on to say:" 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." Verse 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."

How do we abide in Jesus? By keeping His commandments, obeying His teachings, as they were also recorded in the gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, by obeying and living according to what He taught in the Sermon on the Mount Matthew 5,6 and 7.

It is very clear that those BELIEVERS, who do not remain IN Christ, IN obedience to Him CANNOT bear fruit and will get cut off and burned.

Jesus was speaking to His disciples, not to unbelievers, not to those who were not born again.

Our salvation hinges on our relationship with Jesus. If we disobey Him and do not keep His commandments (not the 10 commandments, His commandments), then we cannot bear fruit. Going to church and fellowship with other believers does not determine our salvation. It is our relationship with Him that determines whether we bear fruit and whether we will enter heaven in the end.

We demonstrate our love for Jesus through our obedience to Him. We grow in our relationship with Him through our closeness to Him, through trust, prayer and loyal service to Him. We read in John 14:21 Jesus 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 will disclose Myself to him.” Verse 23 "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."

To those who love and obey Jesus He promised that Him and the Father will come and dwell with them and that Jesus will reveal/disclose Himself to such a person. He promised to give the Holy Spirit, the Helper, to be with such a person, verse 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."

Jesus further said of the Holy Spirit:" 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 16:12-15.

Bearing fruit in Jesus goes much further than just keeping the commandments of Jesus.  It is about being led by the Holy Spirit and thus doing the will of God. We read in the book of Acts, the acts of the apostles, the first followers of Jesus and how they first waited for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, that was given on the day of Pentecost. After receiving the Baptism in the Holy Spirit they went out under the guidance of the Holy Spirit and preached the gospel of Jesus Christ, bringing many to faith in Jesus.

The Holy Spirit was promised for all those who would believe in Jesus, obey Him, repent and be baptized in water, as we read in Acts 2:37,38 They "said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Brethren, what shall we do?” 38Peter 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.” Those very first believers that believed in Jesus, who obeyed the gospel, repented and were baptized in water also received the Holy Spirit. They did not have Bibles. Bibles did not exist. They received the Holy Spirit and the Holy Spirit guided them into fruitfulness. The acts of the apostles, the first believers, were recorded in the book of Acts. They were holy people operating under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, making disciples of Jesus, who also received the Holy Spirit and were led by the Holy Spirit of Christ in them.

The apostle Paul wrote in Romans 8:14 "For all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God." He was talking about those who are born again and who follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit.

Jesus' sheep HEAR His voice and they follow Him. That is how they bear fruit. They follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit that He gives in those who are born again.

Many believers are not born again. Others are born again and have received the Holy Spirit but never started following the guidance of the Holy Spirit and that is why they are unfruitful. They will get cut off and burned if they do not repent, turn back to Jesus and follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit until the end.

Most believers have been deceived by false teachings to only believe in Jesus for salvation. That will not save them if they do not obey and follow Jesus, be filled with the Holy Spirit and obey the guidance of the Holy Spirit so that they can bear fruit for the kingdom of God.

We can only bear fruit that is pleasing to God if we remain in Jesus and operate under the guidance of the Holy Spirit.

Please consider this message carefully. Pray about it and ask Jesus to give you understanding. Do not take it lightly or forget about it. We must bear fruit for the kingdom of God or else we are not suitable and will not enter heaven. Remember, Jesus said:"“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."John 15:6.

Do not let that happen to you.

May Jesus bless you.
