MANY WILL BE PURIFIED

We read in the book of Daniel 12:10

that in the end time “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."
There
is a spirit of wickedness in churches. Many of them proclaim that we
are all sinners and that it is impossible to stop sinning and be
holy. However, they are of satan, because without holiness no one
will see the Lord.
We read in Revelation 22:11 “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. 13“I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and
the last, the beginning and the end.”
   
14Blessed are those who wash their robes, so that they may have the
right to the tree of life, and may enter by the gates into the city.
15Outside are the dogs and the sorcerers and the immoral persons and
the murderers and the idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices
lying."
Many of the true followers of Jesus,  the called
out ones, who are not part of the worldly fornicating churches, are
being purified to be pure and holy. Many are going through pain,
sickness, trials and tribulations in order to be refined. They are
going through the smelters fire of the Holy Spirit, so that in the
end they will be pure like silver.
The wicked, even the false
Christians,  do not understand this. They even mock the true
followers of Jesus,  in their suffering. They do not understand
that Jesus is preparing His bride to be pure and spotless.
Let us
remind ourselves of the words of Peter 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, 2so as to live the rest of the time in the flesh no longer
for the lusts of men, but for the will of God." Suffering leads
to holiness.
Have you been called out by Jesus?  Are you
following Him in obedience and holiness while enduring much pain and
suffering? Are you being cleansed, purged and purified by the mighty
loving hand of the Master?
Hold on, dear fellow pilgrim. Stay with
Jesus. Do not give up, do not despair. Allow Him to work perfection
in you. Many will be purified. Are you one of them?
May Jesus
bless you.

MANY WILL FALL

Many profess to be Christians and confess that they believe in Jesus.
They are confident that they have salvation and they say they trust
in Jesus but when tribulation comes and when the storms of life come
against them, their faith is shattered. When trials and temptation
come against them they are powerless, they give in and are
defeated,without hope and without direction..

Many
fall because they never truly learned to trust in Jesus. Their faith
was based on hearing from other people, preachers and even from true
followers of Jesus. Their faith might have been based on Bible
verses. However, they never applied what they heard and learned. They
never OBEYED the teachings and commandments of Jesus, as they were
also recorded in Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.

After
Jesus had delivered the sermon on the mount He said: 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.

It
is only when the believer OBEYS the words and commandments of Jesus,
that his faith comes into ACTION. Faith without works is dead. Faith
without action proves nothing. Faith only grows with practice.
Practice makes perfect. The faith of many is weak and therefor fails,
because it was never practiced, tested and proven. Your faith muscles
only develop with training and continued practice. If you are lazy or
unfaithful you become weak and vulnerable, and will surely be
destroyed by the enemy.

Many
believers are like those who love to go to the gym to watch others
train. They love to watch Christian movies, and listen to the
testimonies of others, but they themselves never become active
followers of Jesus. They have many versions of the Bible and great
libraries of Christian books, writings, tapes and paraphernalia. They
are involved in endless conferences and Bible studies. They are into
Christian fellowship and church, house church and worship. All those
things might be very pleasant and religious. They might have an
appearance of godliness but they are unfruitful and useless if they
never start obeying and following Jesus.

Being
a Christian and having eternal life is about one thing only, and that
is to be one of Jesus‘ sheep, who hear His voice, who is known by
Him, and who follows Him. Jesus said: 27“My sheep hear My voice,
and I know them, and they follow Me; 28and I give eternal life to
them,” John 10:27. It is about OBEDIENCE, TRUST and OBEDIENCE
all the way until the end.

If
you are not willing to repent, turn away from all sin, turn from
following after your own ambitions, plans and desires, how can you
follow Jesus? If you are not even willing to be baptized in water, as
Jesus commanded, how will you obey Him in greater things? If you do
not trust Jesus more than your own abilities, your own mind, your own
interpretation of the Bible, how will you trust Him when He speaks to
you? How will you follow Him if He calls you? If you trust more in
psychology than in Jesus, how will you follow Him? If He speaks to
you, will you run to the psychologist and tell him you are hearing
voice, or will you say:”Speak Lord, Your servant is listening?

“Faith
comes by the hearing of the Word of God. " Will you BELIEVE and
EXERCISE your FAITH when you HEAR Jesus speaking to you? His sheep
hear His voice and they follow Him. Are you one of His sheep?

Will
Jesus speak to you? He will if you are serious about following Him.
If you call out to Him to save you from your sins and accept Him, to
be your Lord and Master, He will save you. He will wipe out your past
sins, and empower you to become a child of God. He will make you NEW
inside, BORN AGAIN with the HOPE of ETERNAL LIFE, if, you OBEY Him,
TRUST Him and stay with Him until the end.

IF
you OBEY the teachings and commandments of Jesus, He will disclose
Himself to you, He will reveal Himself to you, speak to you and guide
you. 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.”

If
you OBEY Jesus, repent, are baptized in water and live in obedience
to His Words and Commandments (as recorded in Matthew, Mark, Luke
and John), He will baptize you in the Holy Spirit, He and the Father
will come and dwell with you. He will speak to you, guide you, teach
you, you will come into fellowship, communion, with Him. You will
become His sheep, who HEAR His voice and are able to follow Him.

Most
believers never get that far in their relationship with Jesus. They
stay spiritual infants, that never grow to maturity. They FALL, they
are destroyed by satan. Their house comes crushing down because they
did not build on the firm foundation, OBEDIENCE to the Words and
commandments of Jesus They believed the false gospels that are
preached in churches. They built their house on the sand.

Will
you STAND? Will your faith hold? Will you overcome the evil one?
Will you ENDURE with Jesus until the end? Are you one of His sheep,
who HEAR His voice and FOLLOW Him every day? Without Jesus we can
do nothing. Are you WITH Jesus?

Will
you stand, or will you fall?

May
Jesus bless you.

Many Tribulations

To be saved and follow Jesus is not an easy road. That is why so few follow Jesus. Many believe they are saved but they are not willing to follow Jesus, endure persecustion and suffer trials and tribulations.

The apostle Paul was stoned, dragged out of the city, left for dead and then he got up and walked to the next city where he kept on preaching. We read in Acts 14:21 "After they had preached the gospel to that city and had made many disciples, they returned to Lystra and to Iconium and to Antioch, 22strengthening the souls of the disciples, encouraging them to continue in the faith, and saying, “Through many tribulations we must enter the kingdom of God.” Acts 14:21

Paul wrote in Romans 5:1 "Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2through whom also we have obtained our introduction by faith into this grace in which we stand; and we exult in hope of the glory of God. 3And not only this, but we also exult in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation brings about perseverance; 4and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope; 5and hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us."

If we follow Jesus and do what is pleasing to Him we will suffer many trials and tribulations. We have to endure with Jesus and not give up. The apostle James wrote in James 1:12 "Blessed is a man who perseveres under trial; for once he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him."

Are we enduring with Jesus? Are we staying faithful to Him through our trials and tribulations?

May Jesus bless you.

Many Profess Few Practice Christianity

Most confessing Christians do not practice following Jesus. They do not obey His teachinga and instructions. They are not pleasing to Him. They have no hope of salvation. They are only fooling themselves.

Jesus said:"  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.’

What is the will of the Father? Not just that we believe, but that we listen to Jesus and obey Him. "A bright cloud enveloped them, and a voice from the cloud said, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Listen to Him!”Matthew 17:5.

Jesus gives Eternal Life to those who LISTEN to and OBEY Him. Those who disobey Jesus will NOT have life.

The instructions and teachings of Jesus are recorded in the gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. They are plain and simple. A child can understand them. Repent, stop sinning, be baptized in water, live according to the words of Jesus; PRACTICE obedience to Jesus.

It is useless to confess faith in Jesus, to study the Bible, to go to church, to practice religion. If you do not OBEY Jesus Christ you will end up in hell.

Are you PRACTICING obedience to Jesus? Do you listen to and obey Him, or are you fooling yourself by practicing religion? Do not be like main stream Christianity that is on the broad road to destruction.

Jesus is alive. He speaks and His sheep LISTEN to His voice. They follow and obey Him. Are you one of His sheep? Follow and obey Jesus until the end, to have eternal life.

May Jesus bless you.

Pornography and TV will take many to HELL

Most Christian believers watch nudity on the TV and many of them watch pornography.
Pornography will cause you to end up in hell.

Jesus Christ was very clear about desiring a woman. We read in Matthew 5:27 "You have
heard that it was said: You shall not commit adultery, but I say to
you that everyone who looks at a woman with lust for her has already
committed adultery with her in his heart. If your right eye makes you
stumble, tear it out and throw it from you, for it is better for you
to lose one of the parts of your body than for your whole body to be
thrown into hell."

This does not just pertain
to men, it's also to women. That image that you are watching on the
TV, or when you watch pornography, that embodies the sin, your
idolatry, it gives form to the demons that you serve, and that have
taken control of you. Many professing Christians are addicted to
pornography. They are slaves to satan, because they have allowed
those demons that are embodied through pornography, to enter them,
and to take control of them. They are in the clutches of satan, and
they are on their way to hell. If you do not stop watching
pornography, you will certainly end up in hell, because if you only
look at a woman or a man, once, with lust in your heart, then by the
judgment of God you have already committed adultery, or fornication,
immorality, you are guilty and you will end up in hell. That is how
serious Jesus Christ is about holiness.

We are a temple of the
Holy Spirit in which He must dwell, but if we invite satan into our
temple, then we are not fit for the Holy Spirit, and we are not fit
for the kingdom of God. If you do not break with your pornography, if
you do not break with watching the immorality on TV, and having all
those images engraved into your mind and your soul, you will perish,
because you are already a captive of satan. Jesus Christ can set you
free but you have to repent and be serious. If you do not repent, you
will perish. Pornography will take you to hell.

May Jesus bless you.

Many sons of God

Jesus Christ is the firstborn of many sons of God. Jesus said that we cannot enter the kingdom of heaven unless we are born again of water and of the Spirit of God. We have to be born again to become children of God, sons of God.
If we accept Jesus Christ and we obey His words, if we repent and are baptized in water, and we follow Him, then we will
become like Him. Jesus Christ proved that it is possible for flesh-and-blood, what we are, to do the will of God, to be perfect to become sons of God. Jesus came to redeem many,
those who would accept Him, those who would be born again and become sons of God, that inherit the kingdom of God. If we follow Jesus Christ then we become like Him. We do as He commanded, we are holy like He is holy, and we obey the
Father like He obeyed the Father. The apostle Paul wrote in Romans chapter 8 verse 14, "those who are being led by the Spirit of God they are the sons of God," they are the children of God. Jesus Christ did not come to call believers, He came to call sons, to be born again into the kingdom of God, to bear fruit for the kingdom of God, to follow Jesus Christ, the firstborn, and be sons of God like He Himself is  Son of God. Have you been born again of the Spirit of God and of water? Have you become a son of God? Are you a child of God?
May Jesus bless you.

A LA CARTE Gospel Leads To DESTRUCTION

All the different churches
of the world are like restaurants that serve different meals to suit
that tastes of different believers; they each preach their own flavor
of the gospel and they all claim to bring people to salvation. But
that is a dangerous lie.

There is only one gospel
that saves. The different churches preach that which their audiences
like. They exclude other things and they add some condiments to
entertain the audience, their membership. They are busy playing
church, they are not of the kingdom of God.

There is only one gospel
that saves and that is the words of Jesus Christ. We cannot pick and
choose, exclude the things that we do not like and add some other
things that appealed to us, then we are away from the truth; we are
away from the WAY, away from Jesus Christ. There is only one way that
leads to eternal life and that is, utter obedience to the words of
Jesus Christ, following His way. He commanded that all men who
believe in Him repent of sin and of following their own ways, and go
after His way; live in holiness and righteousness and follow His
teachings, that they repent of worldliness cleanse themselves of all
unrighteous and be baptized in water for the washing off of their sin
and then go after Him; be baptized in the Holy Spirit so that the
Spirit of Christ will dwell in them and that they will be led by the
Spirit, the Holy Spirit. If we do not have the Spirit of Christ we do
not belong to Him. We might have a church a la carte, we might have a
Bible, we might have our own fellowships, our own opinions, our own
ideas; but if we do not submit ourselves to the guidance and
discipline of the Holy Spirit and obey Jesus Christ, follow Him every
day, every step of the way until the very end, we will not have
eternal life.

There is only one way that
leads to life and that is to follow Jesus Christ His Way, under the
guidance of His Holy Spirit. If you do not have the Holy Spirit you
cannot follow Jesus Christ. His sheep listen to His words; they
follow Him and they serve Him, they do His will. They go with Him
every day until the very end. There's only one way that leads to life
and that is Jesus Christ.

Are you on the straight
and narrow way that leads to life? Do you follow the guidance of the
Holy Spirit or do you prefer one of the various a la carte Gospels of
the world that all lead to destruction? Seek the way; seek Jesus
Christ, obey Him, be baptized in water, be baptized and filled with
the Holy Spirit and follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit or else
you will not find the narrow door that leads to eternal life.

May Jesus bless you.

God speaks in many ways

God speaks in many ways because He cares for us. Those who care for God, who want His approval, who want to be pleasing to Him, they LISTEN and they HEAR Him, they are sensitive to His guidance because it matters to them to be pleasing to God.
Jesus said:”My sheep HEAR My voice and they FOLLOW Me.” It is because they CARE, they WANT TO follow Him, they WANT TO be pleasing to Him. If we love Jesus we will be SENSITIVE to His guidance. He will speak to us in many ways. All things are His servants, everything belongs to Him and He will use anything to direct us, nudge us, call us, but if we don't care and we are not sensitive, if we ignore Him then we WILL NOT HEAR HIM.
Do we CARE to be pleasing to Jesus? Do we really love Him? Do we SEEK His guidance? Are we SERIOUS about our relationship with Jesus? Do we WANT TO be pleasing to Him? If we seek Him, we find Him! If we draw closer to Him He draws closer to us and He reveals Himself to us. God speaks in many ways, but are we listening? If we LISTEN we will HEAR Him LOUD and CLEAR!
May Jesus bless you.

God's school is TOUGH Few Graduate

If you accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Master, repent, be baptized in water and receive the baptism in the Holy Spirit, then you become a CHILD OF GOD and Jesus will TEACH you, He will GUIDE you and He will COACH you, He will TAKE YOU TO SCHOOL.  He will teach you how to be an obedient child of God.
Jesus said that HE WHO ENDURES UNTIL THE END will be saved. It is only if we endure with Jesus and if we stay in the SCHOOL, if we allow Him to guide us and teach us and we STAY WITH HIM, it is only then that we will graduate. We will only graduate if we stay with Him until the end and only then will we receive eternal life, It is only those who STAY THE COURSE, who do not drop out but who stay with Jesus until the very end, who follow and who obey Him, who are taught by Him, who have learned from Him  and who have PASSED THE GRADE, those who are pleasing to Him, who have lived up to His standard, it is only they who will be WORTHY to enter into His rest, only they will have eternal life.
Very few START following Jesus, very few submit themselves to Jesus. Some just follow Him for a little bit until life becomes difficult and they have to suffer for the Kingdom of God, then they drop out and they leave Him, they go back to the world and the pleasures of sin. Very few will graduate, very few will enter the Kingdom of Heaven.
Are you STAYING with Jesus? Are you going along with Him, being taught by Him and do you hope to GRADUATE? Will you stay with Jesus until the very end?
May Jesus bless you.

Entering Heaven is not easy FEW WILL MAKE IT

Many Christian believers are living godless, reckless lives and they still believe that they have eternal life, that they have salvation. They are living under false security. They have been deceived by the devil. They base their faith and their belief that they are saved on what other people have told them, on some Bible verses that they quote but these people do not know Jesus Christ. Jesus warned that very few people will be saved. Narrow is the door that leads to LIFE and FEW there be that find it. Entering the Kingdom of heaven is NOT EASY. The requirements to be a child of God are extremely strict. It is like running a marathon.

Many people enroll for the marathon and many start running. Many people think that they will be able to complete it but very few make it in time. Following Jesus Christ is the same. Many start following Jesus but very very FEW ENDURE with Him until the end.

Many have FALSE SECURITY because they belong to a church, or because they have said a SINNER'S PRAYER, they have been baptized in water, some have received the gift of tongues and they speak in tongues and because they speak in tongues they think that they have security of salvation. THERE IS NO SECURITY! The only security is Jesus Christ. We have to follow Him every day. Jesus said:”Whoever WISHES to come after Me must DENY himself, pick up his cross EVERY DAY and come here FOLLOW ME.”

If we do not go after Jesus every day and follow Him until the very end then we will not have eternal life. Many people make marriage vows. Very few of those people stay together until the end, they are unfaithful. Jesus is faithful to us but if we are unfaithful to Him, if we deny Him, HE WILL REJECT US! Then we are not suitable. The Grace of God is NO A LICENSE TO SIN. If we keep on turning away from Jesus there will come a day that we die away from Him and when we stand in front of Him, He will say to us:”Go away I never knew you.”

Entering the Kingdom of Heaven is NOT EASY. Very few people will make it, only those who endure with Jesus UNTIL THE VERY END, those who do His will, who LISTEN to His VOICE, who FOLLOW Him, You need confirmation EVERY DAY from Jesus that He is pleased with you. You need to look after your relationship with Jesus above everything else. If Jesus is not pleased with you, you WILL NOT ENTER the Kingdom of HEAVEN. Are you pleasing to the Master?

May Jesus bless you.
