Happiness Is...



People look for happines in many places and in various things. They look for happiness in relationships, possessions and achievements. They look for security in money, qualifications, knowledge and skills. All their happiness is just temporary and things never turn out as they expected. In the end it is all a  matter of chasing after wind.

There is only one way to have complete happiness and that is to know and follow Jesus Christ. 

The psalmist wrote in Psalm 34:7 "Delight yourself in the LORD, and He will give you the desires of your heart."

Don't become religious. Religion cannot make you happy, it can only give you false security and temporary euphoria.

Go after Jesus. Seek His company, His approval and His guidance. Follow and obey Him and you will find, joy,  happiness, peace, and fulfillment.

Seek Him in prayer. Obey His teachings as recorded in the gospel, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Repent from all sin. Turn away from running after your own pleasures and ambition. Stop sinning and running after sensuality. Be holy, be baptized in water and seek the approval of Jesus. Always have Jesus on your mind. Long for Him and He will give His Spirit in you. You will experience His presence and fellowship. He will guide and teach  you, in all things and He will fullfill you. He will give you the desires of your heart.

My delight is to bring people to Jesus because I know it is the only way to have complete happiness.

Do you want happiness?

Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all the other things will be added unto you.  Jesus knows us. He knows

just what we need to be happy.

Jesus is Lord. Delight yourself in Him and He will give you the desires of your heart.

May Jesus bless you.

LASTING Satisfaction Joy and Contentment





Lasting satisfaction, joy
and contentment is only found in Jesus Christ. When we are in
Christ and when He is in us. If Jesus Christ is not in us we are
uncertain, insecure, anxious and filled with fear about the future,
about death. But if we come to know Jesus Christ and we accept Him
and He comes and dwells in us then He gives us peace beyond all
understanding; but we need to be in Christ and Christ needs to be in
us.
How does it happen that
Jesus Christ can come and dwell in a person, be in us? If we accept
Jesus Christ and obey His words, His commands, if we turn to Him
repent from sin and from going after our own ways, our own desires
and we obey Him go, after Him; stop sinning, be righteous and holy
and if we follow Him through water baptism, being baptized in water
for the washing off of our sins, and we keep on seeking Him then He
gives His Holy Spirit to dwell in us, the Comforter to be with us
forever.
The world, those who do
not believe in Jesus, those who do not obey Him, and do not submit to
Him, those who do not seek Him, cannot receive the Holy Spirit and
they cannot experience that comforting communion with Jesus Christ.
If we seek Him with all our heart and obey His words, He gives His
Holy Spirit in us. He baptizes us in the Holy Spirit H gives in us
streams of living water that fill us, flow through us, into eternal
life, His Spirit in us guides us, teaches us, comforts us, is always
with us, He satisfies our soul. He supplies in all that we need and
we are content because Jesus Christ lives in us.
He even helps us to pray.
We ourselves do not know what to pray, but if His Spirit dwells in
us, He gives us a tongue, a heavenly tongue whereby we can pray; we
can speak to God, mysteries. Nobody understands what we say; we
ourselves do not even know what we are saying, but the Spirit who
dwells in us, prays with us and for us according to the will of God
and when we pray in the spirit we are edified. We are built up and
that peaceful Water of the Holy Spirit flows through us and He gives
us peace, peace beyond understanding. We do not know where it comes
from, but that peace is Jesus Christ in us. I do not even know what
I'm praying when I pray in tongues but my spirit prays to God. The
Holy Spirit prays with me. He gives me utterance and I pray according
to the will of God. I am edified, I'm satisfied, because I know that
He prays according to the will of God in and through me and He
supplies in all my needs. He gives me peace beyond understanding.
Is Jesus Christ living in
you? Has He given you of His Spirit to be with you and in you, to
comfort you? Do you pray in the spirit? Are you satisfied? Do you
have the joy and peace contentment of Jesus Christ in you, that
everlasting contentment? You only find that peace, joy and
contentment in Jesus Christ. If you want that piece, if you want that
joy, that never-ending comfort then seek Jesus with all your heart.
Go after Him. Obey Him; submit yourself to Him. His Holy Spirit will
come and dwell in you. He will guide you and He will teach you, will
tell you all things, and He will give you peace beyond all
understanding; peace and contentment that you cannot find in this
world you can only find it in Jesus. Seek Jesus and He will satisfy
your soul.
May Jesus bless you

Living in the JOY and PEACE of Jesus Christ



All those who hear the gospel of Jesus Christ and who believe, who accept Him as their Lord and Master, all of those experience a JOY and PEACE that passes all understanding. But after a few days, for most of those people, that JOY and PEACE has disappeared. Why is that?

We can only experience the joy and the peace  of Jesus Christ as long as we are IN Him and WITH Him, as long as we OBEY Him. If we disobey Jesus Christ then we lose that joy and that peace. We only have that joy and peace as long as we are IN the will of God, as long as we obey Jesus, as long as we follow Him.

Most Christian believers do not have that joy and peace because they are in disobedience, they are not following Jesus. They are going after their own desires, they have not repented of their futile lifestyle. They are living for themselves, not for the kingdom of God. They did not really  BELIEVE the gospel of Jesus Christ. Jesus said:"Whoever WISHES to come after Me MUST deny himself, pick up his cross every day and come here, follow Me." If we are not willing to dive up everything for Jesus and then go after Him then we are not worthy of Him.  He said:"Sell your things and give to the poor and then come here and follow Me." Then you will have that joy and peace of Jesus because you are WITH Him and in His will all the time, but if you don't go after Him and if you don't seek His will and you don't do His will then you will not have joy and peace, you will be worried and concerned about your salvation because YOU ARE LOST.

Most Christian believers are LOST because they are not following Jesus Christ, they are not in His will. They do not seek His will. they want to live their lives THEIR WAY. They want to have A LIFE  and they want Jesus to support and sponsor them while they do their own things. We can only have joy and peace if we GO WITH JESUS Christ, if we seek Him every day, wait on Him LISTEN, FOLLOW, GO where he TELLS US, DO what He tells us to do, if we submit ourselves to Him and we ASK Him to guide us.

If you do not have the joy ad peace of Jesus Christ, then go on your knees and ASK Him to show you WHY you do not have His joy and peace. Where have you gone wrong? Is there sin in your life? Or are you just not following Him?

We can only have His joy and peace if we are IN His will, DOING what is pleasing to Him.

Do you have the joy and the peace? If not, go on your knees , repent, and ask HIM to show you what HE wants you to do, every day, until the very end of your life. Live your life for Jesus and IN obedience to Him and you WILL be in His joy and His peace. If you leave Him you will PERISH. Stay with Jesus until the very end.

May Jesus bless you.

Get a Life


The whole world is in a rat race, being controlled and manipulated by other people, being used and abused for their own advantage. Husbands and wives manipulate and control each other. Governments control their people. Churches manipulate and control their members, using the Bible. People are manipulated by peer pressure, convention. They don't want to feel “out” but they are not LIVING, they are not having A LIFE. They are being controlled.
The only way that you can have a LIFE, be FREE is if you follow and OBEY Jesus Christ. “Whomever the Son of God has set free, will be FREE and FREE indeed” IF they STAY with Jesus. If you fear what people think and what they will say then you are a SLAVE, you are in bondage, you don't have life! You can only have LIFE if you follow Jesus Christ and you obey Him. Only Jesus Christ can set you free. Fear Him, OBEY Him and you will have LIFE.
Do you have Jesus? Do you have A LIFE?

May Jesus bless you.
