TO LOVE GOD

The greatest command is:"YOU SHALL

LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL,
AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND, AND WITH ALL YOUR STRENGTH." Mark
12:30.
Many Christians will tell you that they love Jesus,
but our lives have to prove it or else it is just empty words. Jesus
said:"If you love Me, you will keep My commandments."John
14:15. Jesus further said: “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My
word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make
Our abode with him. 24“He who does not love Me does not keep My
words; and the word which you hear is not Mine, but the Father’s
who sent Me."John 14:23,24.
To love Jesus means to obey Him,
His words, His commands that were also recorded in Matthew, Mark,
Luke and John. Jesus said that those who do not love him, do not obey
His words. He further promised that he will come and dwell in and
with the one who loves Him. He will make His Spirit, the Holy Spirit,
to dwell in the one who loves Him and therefor obeys Him.
Not only
will the one who loves Him obey His words, but will also obey His
Spirit, will be led by the Holy Spirit. We read in Romans 8:14 "For
all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God."
They are the children of God. It is thus a requirement for a child of
God to be led by the Holy Spirit and to obey His guidance, then we
will be in Christ, in His love.
In view thereof, let us read the
words of Paul in Romans 8 with understanding: 1Therefore there is now
no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. 2For the law of
the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of
sin and of death. 3For what the Law could not do, weak as it was
through the flesh, God did: sending His own Son in the likeness of
sinful flesh and as an offering for sin, He condemned sin in the
flesh, 4so that the requirement of the Law might be fulfilled in us,
who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.
5For those who are according to the flesh set their minds on the
things of the flesh, but those who are according to the Spirit, the
things of the Spirit. 6For the mind set on the flesh is death, but
the mind set on the Spirit is life and peace, 7because the mind set
on the flesh is hostile toward God; for it does not subject itself to
the law of God, for it is not even able to do so, 8and those who are
in the flesh cannot please God.

    
9However, you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the
Spirit of God dwells in you. But if anyone does not have the Spirit
of Christ, he does not belong to Him. 10If Christ is in you, though
the body is dead because of sin, yet the spirit is alive because of
righteousness. 11But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the
dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will
also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in
you.

      12So then, brethren, we
are under obligation, not to the flesh, to live according to the
flesh— 13for if you are living according to the flesh, you must
die; but if by the Spirit you are putting to death the deeds of the
body, you will live. 14For all who are being led by the Spirit of
God, these are sons of God.15For you have not received a spirit of
slavery leading to fear again, but you have received a spirit of
adoption as sons by which we cry out, “Abba! Father!” 16The
Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are children of God,
17and if children, heirs also, heirs of God and fellow heirs with
Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him so that we may also be
glorified with Him."
By obeying Jesus, we demonstrate our
love for Him. Further, through following the guidance of the Holy
Spirit we fulfill the first commandment, which is LOVING GOD. If we
follow after our flesh, we cannot please God, we cannot do His will,
because we do our own desires, idolizing and serving ourselves.

The Holy Spirit EMPOWERS us to OVERCOME
our flesh and OBEY the will of God, but we have to make every effort
to obey Him.

We are warned that every branch that does not
bear fruit will get cut off and burned. Without Jesus we can do
nothing. If we are not obeying Jesus and following the guidance of
the Holy Spirit, we cannot bear fruit, and are ready to be cut off
and burned.

Do we really love Jesus? Do we obey
His words and commands? Have we received the Holy Spirit and are we
following His guidance? Are we obedient children of God? Do we really
love Jesus?

May Jesus bless you.

Do you BELIEVE?

Many Christians confess
their faith in Jesus but their faith is not real. They do not really
have faith. They believe that they have salvation because they say
that they believe in Jesus Christ, but faith without works is dead.
If our faith does not produce works of faith, things that we do in
obedience to God, because we believe in Him, then that faith cannot
save us, then that faith is worthless.

We read in Hebrews chapter
11 verse 6 "And without faith it is impossible to please God,
because anyone who approaches Him, must believe that He exists, and
that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him." Many people say
that they believe in Jesus, but do they really believe. Do you really
believe in Jesus? Do you believe that if you pray that He will answer
your prayer? Will you do what Jesus tells you to do if He speaks to
you? Is Jesus that real to you? Because if Jesus is not that real to
you then you do not really believe, then your faith is null, void and
empty.

We read in Hebrews chapter
11 verse 7:"By faith Noah, when warned about things not yet
seen, in godly fear built an ark to save his family. By faith he
condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness that comes
by faith." When God spoke to Noah and warned him about the big
flood that would come, what did Noah do? He built an ark to save him
and his family. If God speaks to you and to me and tells us to build
an ark or to move away from where we are; will we do it? Will we
believe that God's spoke to us? Do we really know Him? Will we obey
Him? Why was Noah justified? Because he obeyed God. He believed what
God told him.

The same with Abraham. We
read in Hebrews chapter 11 verse 8:"By faith Abraham, when
called to go to a place he would later receive us his inheritance,
obeyed and went without knowing where he was going. By faith he
dwelled in the promised land as a stranger, in a foreign country. He
lived in tents as did Isaac and Jacob who were heirs with him of the
same promise; for he was looking forward to the city with foundations
whose architect and builder is God." God spoke to Abraham and
He told him to move to a distant country far away. He did not know
where he would arrive at, he did not know what it would be like when
he arrives there. Did he doubt God? No, he obeyed God, and that is
why God justified him, because his faith was real.

We also read in verse
11:"by faith Sarah even though she was barren and beyond the
opportune age was enabled to conceive a child, because she considered
Him faithful, who had promised, and so from one man, and he was as
good as dead, came descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky,
and as countless as the sand on the seashore." Sarah believed it
when the messenger of God came and said to her that she will have a
boy. She was barren and Abraham was an old man. Did they they doubt
Him? No, they did not. They believed in God. They believed that He
would do what He promised. He promised Abraham that his descendants
would be as many as the stars in heaven and as the sand by the
seaside. Abraham believed Him.

If God spoke to you and
me, would we believe Him? Would we leave everything that we have,
that we've worked for all our life,and go where Jesus sends us? Do
you really believe? Most people do not believe in Jesus. If they
believed in Jesus, they would obey Him. Do you really believe that
Jesus Christ is God? Do you really believe that He will judge all
men? Do you believe? So, if you believe, do you obey His words? Jesus
said:"Repent and be baptized." Most believers do not obey
the words of Jesus. They say:" I cannot stop sinning."
Jesus said:"If the Son of God has set you free, you will be
free, and free indeed." But they say:"I cannot stop
sinning." Do they really believe? Obviously they don't. Do they
believe that if they pray Jesus will answer their prayer and supply
in all their needs." If Jesus tells you today to quit your job,
leave everything that you've worked for all your life and go
somewhere else, that you do not know. Will you go? Will you obey Him?
How real is your faith?

"The righteous one
will live by faith and if he withdraws, says the Lord, My soul will
have no pleasure in him." We cannot follow Jesus Christ, if we
are not willing to live by faith, if we are not willing to leave
everything and go after Him. Many want to know:"If I follow
Jesus, must I stop watching TV?" "Will I have to give up
this, or that, or the other? What will happen to me? What kind of a
job will I have to do? Will I become homeless?" Do you really
believe? Do you believe that He's God Almighty, and that all things
belong to Him? Do you believe that He has prepared a place in heaven
for those who love Him, who follow Him, and who obey Him? Do you
really believe that? Or do you just believe that you have salvation
because you confess that you believe in Jesus? But you do not believe
because you will not obey Him. You are only fooling yourself, dear
friend, because you do not believe. Your faith has not produced any
works. The works that Jesus requires of us, is obedience. We have to
obey His words the, gospel of Jesus Christ, repent and be baptized,
and then He promised that He will give His Holy Spirit in us, to
guide us, to be with us, to teach us, but people don't want it. They
rather go after people, they believe in the preachers. They believe
in the Bible, their interpretation of the Bible. They don't believe
in Jesus Christ. The Pharisees believed in the Scriptures, the Torah,
and when the King of Glory, the Messiah came; did they believe that
He truly was the One that would come? No they did not. They crucified
Him.

Do you really believe that
Jesus Christ is Lord? Do do you believe He is alive? If you do, you
will take action. You will leave everything and you will go after
Him, but if you don't your faith is worthless. Because if you do not
go after Jesus, if you do not obey His words and do not repent and be
baptized, and do not receive the gift of the Holy Spirit, so that
Christ dwells in you and guides you, then you will never know Him.
You will never follow Him, and you know? Jesus will say to you:"Go
away I never knew you, you worker of wickedness." You were never
justified, because you never believed, you never put action to your
faith, you never went after Jesus Christ. Do you understand, dear
friend, what it means to be justified by faith? You have to go after
the One in whom you believe, because as it is written in Hebrews
chapter 11 verse 6: Without faith it is impossible to please God,
because the one who goes to Him, must believe that He is, and that He
is a rewarder, of those who seek Him and who go after Him.

Do you believe that? Do
you believe that Jesus Christ will reward you with eternal life, do
you believe that He has a place prepared in heaven, for those who
follow and who obey Him? If you really do believe, then go after Him,
because without Jesus there's no hope, there's no future.

Dear friend, do you
believe?

May Jesus bless you.

Love is ACTION

Love is not just words. Love is ACTION. If we love Jesus Christ  we will OBEY Him. Jesus said:"He who loves Me is the one who keeps My commands and Me and My Father will love him and We will come and make our abode with him and I will reveal Myself to him." That is the promise that Jesus makes to those who demonstrate their love to Him through their obedience to Him .

The disciples of Jesus loved Him and therefor they followed Him, they stayed WITH Him. If we love Jesus we will turn away from sin, we will turn away from our own plans, our own ambitions, we will abandon them and go after Jesus, we will FOLLOW Him. We will demonstrate, we will show by our DEEDS that we love Him.

If we truly love Jesus then we will get into ACTION, we will follow and obey Him until the very end. If we do not love Him then we are not worthy of Him and we will not enter His kingdom.

Do we truly love Jesus?

May Jesus bless you.

Defending your Salvation

The reason why many believers defend their salvation is because they do not know Jesus Christ. They do not have salvation. Salvation is not a guarantee, it is not a possession, we don't need to defend it.

Jesus never told us to defend ourselves. If we follow Him, He will defend us. If we truly follow Jesus Christ, we do not defend ourselves, we do not defend the Bible, we do not defend our faith, we do not defend our salvation.  We TESTIFY about Jesus. We tell the world why we HOPE in Jesus. We tell the world why we follow Him, why we obey Him, because HE IS REAL to us.

Many want to defend the Bible, defend their salvation, their opinion, their doctrines, their teachings. The Bible testifies about Jesus Christ, but if you do not know Jesus Christ for real then you are insecure, you have reason to doubt, and panic, be anxious, and that is why those believers are anxious, why they fight and DEFEND their salvation.

By quoting Bible scriptures they try to convince everybody that the are saved. If you follow Jesus Christ and you KNOW Him then you trust in HIM, not in what you believe. You know He is faithful and as long as you stay with Him He will guide you and He will teach you and He will keep you, He will hold your hand, but you have to follow Him.

You don't need to defend your salvation. Just stay with Jesus Christ and testify, tell the world why you are different, why you don't sin, why you don't go to the same places, why you are changed, why Jesus Christ is your Lord, because you KNOW Him.

Do you know Jesus Christ? Have you met Him? Are you following Him and do you tell the world why you follow Jesus Christ, or do you just believe that your doctrines are right, your understanding of the Bible is right and you have to PROVE your salvation? Then you don't have Jesus, dear friend. If you follow Jesus Christ you have nothing to defend. You just deny yourself every day, pick up your cross and follow Him until the very end.

May Jesus bless you.

WORKS of GOD or of sATAN

Many people claim to be Christians but they live like the devil, they do the works of satan. They say that they are saved by grace, not by works, so they refuse to do the works of Christ.

If we believe in Jesus Christ and we follow Him, then we will be like Him. We will do His works. Jesus Christ said of His followers that they will do the works that He did and even greater works because He goes to His Father and He sends them the Holy Spirit that will guide them and teach them and direct them into doing the works of the Father. Jesus Christ did not say or do anything on His own initiative. He did and He said what the Father told Him to say and even so His followers will do the same. they will be led by the Holy Spirit to speak the words of God and to do the works of God, that which He prepared for them to do and that which He commands them to do.

The true followers of Jesus Christ have the MIND OF CHRIST. Those who follow satan have the mind of satan and they do the works of satan. A tree is known by it's fruit. What fruit do we bear? Do we speak the words of Christ and do the works of Christ under guidance of the Holy Spirit or do we follow after our own desires and after that which satan puts into our minds  because we are followers of the devil?

Are we truly followers of Jesus Christ . Our WORKS, our DEEDS show whom we are following. Do our works bear witness that we are sons of God, followers of Jesus Christ  or do our works condemn us because they show that indeed we are of satan, not of Christ? Who are we following? Whose works are we doing?

May Jesus bless you.

Do you REALLY believe in Jesus Christ?

Many people say they believe in Jesus Christ and they call themselves Christians, followers of Jesus Christ but they do not really believe in Jesus, because they do not OBEY Him, they do not FOLLOW Him.

If we believe in Jesus Christ we will OBEY His words, we will FOLLOW Him. We will live according to His commands. We will REPENT of all evil, REPENT of going after our own desires and we will go after Jesus. We will STOP SINNING, be holy and righteous and we will be baptized in water in obedience to Jesus Christ. We will SEEK the baptism in the Holy Spirit. Jesus promised His Holy Spirit to those who obey Him, His very own PRESENCE with them, in them to guide them and teach them, to teach them His ways so that they can follow Him. Those who are led by the Spirit of God they are the sons of God.

Most believers do not know Jesus Christ, they do not obey Him and therefor they do not really believe. Do you believe in Jesus Christ? Do you obey Him? Do you follow Him and do you live your life to please Him? Or do you believe in vain, because if you do not obey Him you will perish.

There is only one way to have eternal life and that is to follow and  obey Jesus Christ, to be like Him.

Do you truly believe? Do you follow and obey Jesus Christ?

May Jesus bless you.

My Holy Spirit Baptism Speaking in tongues - My Testimony

I received the baptism in the Holy
Spirit in 1972, that was after I had sought after it for some time.

I want to share my experience with you of the Comforter the Holy
Spirit that Jesus promised to those who obey Him.
The Holy Spirit
with speaking in tongues is given to us as a gift, a confirmation
from God the Father that we are His children. He gives us the gift of
tongues so that we can speak in that tongue at any time.
Since the
time that I was baptized in the Holy Spirit I have been speaking in
tongues at any time, at will. I can speak in tongues now God gave me
the tongue, it is mine.
It's a gift. It's my connection with the
Spirit of God, He has given me OF His Spirit. It is not a guarantee
that I wil have eternal life. It is a guarantee that He has accepted
me as His child and it COMFORTS me that I can speak to Him in tongues
at any time.
He gave me a special tongue that I can pray with at
any time while I am walking along, while I am driving or while I am
praying, At any time I can speak in that tongue because it is mine,
he has given it to Me and He will never take it away and it has been
with me for all those many years.
There are also other times when
I pray, and when I pray for long periods that He gives me other
tongues. There are times when I am praying with other brothers and
sisters that He gives me a TONGUE WITH INTERPRETATION but the tongue
that He has given me to pray to Him with
to connect to Him with,
any time that tongue has stayed with me since that time that I was
baptized in the Holy Spirit and that is why Jesus said: I send you
the Comforter. because it comforts us when I KNOW, I received the
Holy Spirit and this is the proof, this tongue that Jesus has given
me as He has promised and it is the same Spirit that raised Christ
from the dead that dwells in Me the comfort that I have, the proof
that I have, to me ALL THE TIME is the tongue that I can speak He
won't take it away from me. I don't understand what I am saying but
my spirit together with the Spirit of God prays mysteries unto God as
Paul also said (1 Corinthians 14:2)
At those times when we as
children of God get together and we get into serious prayer incessant
prayer with God, then the Holy Spirit comes on people and the one
will have a tongue which is not the tongue that he normally prays in.
God will give him that tongue and He will give somebody else the
interpretation not the TRANSLATION, the INTERPRETATION the MEANING
of what the Spirit of God wants to convey to those people who are
there together praying that is what the interpretation of the tongue
is.
At other times the Lord will give me a prophecy where I speak
directly what God puts into my heart
the message that He has
given for those people who are there together. At other times also
when I pray the Lord will give me a prophecy, He will speak to me in
my spirit in English or in Afrikaans, my own home language and I will
write those words down because the Spirit of God dwells in me.
Now
that is not unique to me that is promised to every one who has
accepted Jesus as is written in Acts 2:38,39, where Peter said this
promise is for you and for your children and for all of those whom
the Lord our God will call unto Him.
Dear friend, you need the
baptism in the Holy Spirit you need the gift of the Holy Spirit with
tongues so that you are COMFORTED constantly by the knowledge that
you HAVE THE GIFT OF THE SPIRIT YOU EXERCISE THE GIFT you can speak
in tongues any time, you don't need to

close your eyes, you don't go into a
trance like some people do (pretend) they get these convulsions and
things that is just a show. We might get excited when we pray but
that is the person that gets excited
that is not the Spirit of
God that takes control of him.
The Holy Sirit is not a
CONTROLLING SPIRIT, He is a GUIDING SPIRIT, The Lord puts those words
in your spirit and you speak those words He does not take control of
you like some people say,

they are not speaking the truth The
Spirit of God will put and unction in you and you will feel driven to
do things but HE WILL NOT FORCE YOU TO DO IT. You have got to OBEY
the Spirit of God
The Spirit of God guides us and LEADS US.
The
Holy Spirit in us leads us into righteousness and into holiness and
if you are not right with the Lord, if you are disobedient then when
you pray in tongues you know, you are not right with God. The Holy
Spirit convicts you. It is the Comforter that God gives and the
Comforter does not want to comfort you WHEN YOU ARE DOING WRONG. WHEN
YOU ARE DOING WRONG, THE COMFORTER CONVICTS YOU OF SIN, RIGHTEOUSNESS
AND JUDGMENT because as a child of God you are fortunate, you are
blessed with the benefit of being CHASTISED AND CORRECTED
and the
Holy Spirit of God loves you and wants us to be HOLY and therefor He
wil convict us when we do wrong and if we continue in our wrong doing
GOD WILL CHASTISE (PUNISH) US and He will chastise us severely, like
He has done to me also Having the Holy Spirit does not make a person
special
you are just human, you are flesh and blood but, YOU HAVE
RECEIVED THE COMFORTER.
Dear friends, I want to encourage you to
seek the Holy Spirit because it is promised to you and to me and to
everyone whom the Lord Jesus has called unto Him and if the gospel
of Jesus Christ has come to you then you are called then you must
respond to that call invite Jesus into your heart and don't run away
from the gifts of the Holy Spirit. EMBRACE THE HOLY SPIRIT IT IS THE
SPIRIT OF GOD
ask Jesus for the gifts, ask Him for the baptism in
the Holy Spirit and then for MORE, more of His Spirit not as
something for yourself but to equip you to serve better because those
who are led by the Spirit of God. they are the sons of God The
Spirit of God will never force you never drag you along and therefor
we need to seek the gift of the Holy Spirit we need to seek to be
baptized in the Holy Spirit
and we need to seek to be fruitful.

Dear friends, what is of the flesh is
of the flesh and what is of the Spirit of God that comes from God

you cannot fake it we can accumulate
for ourselves a lot of knowledge we can know the Bible from cover to
cover but yet be WITHOUT CONTACT WITH GOD WITHOUT THE HOLY SPIRIT OF
GOD and if we don't have the Holy Spirit then we are dead, we are
spiritually dead we come alive in the Spirit when we receive the
Spirit of Christ and therefor we have got to open ourselves to the

Holy Spirit Once you have received the
Holy Spirit baptism you must practice it.
It is NOT a safe guard
against hell neither is it a safeguard against backsliding. I
backslid for more than ten years and even in that time, when I was
far away from the Lord He did not take the gift of the Holy Spirit
away from me I just thank Him that He chastised me and He spoke to me
SEVERELY
TO THE POINT WHERE I CAME BACK TO HIM because He never
left me, I left Him.
Dear friends, you NEED the baptism in the
Holy Spirit you NEED the gift of tongues so that you are constantly
COMFORTED you can pray in tongues any time, as you drive along, as
you walk along
while you are washing the dishes while I am siting
here,

I can speak in tongues any time. In
that one specific tongue but when I get into incessant prayer, as I
said then God gives me other tongues and then the Spirit of God prays
with your spirit and through your spirit speaks mysteries unto God
and that is why He gives His COMFORTER to us so that we can be
constantly COMFORTED by the indwelling of His Spirit!
You need the
Holy Spirit, dear friend and you can only get it from Jesus you
cannot fake it. The world cannot receive the Holy Spirit only those
who come to the Father through Jesus Christ.
It is a gift to
those who are connected to the living God through Jesus Christ and
that is why it is

the proof to you that God has accepted
you and when the devil comes with doubt and accuses you of things and
says: "Well the Lord has rejected you! He doesn't want you any
more"
You say:"No satan, I still speak in tongues,
because my Father gave me a gift. I am still connected to Him!"

So dear friends, if you have received
the gift of the Holy Spirit, practice it every day and let the Holy
Spirit comfort you, all the time because He said: I will send you the
Comforter Who will be with you for EVER.
So, you need the Holy
Spirit dear friend. You need to pray in tongues all the time, ALL THE
TIME!
While you are driving along, whatever you are doing, you
say....(speaking in tongues)
While I am speaking to you, while I
am doing anything, I can be praying in tongues in my spirit
My
spirit is rejoicing in my King When I wake up at night, I am praying
in tongues...
My spirit is rejoicing in the Lord always. I am
connected to the living God!
Have you received the COMFORTER?
DO
NOT REJECT HIM! The Lord will give you your own tongue dear friend
and you will know for ever that He has accepted you and He will
Comfort you, FOR EVER until that very day that you see Jesus Christ
face to face.
May Jesus bless you

Have you received the Holy Spirit?

Jesus Christ promised the baptism in the Holy Spirit to all those who BELIEVE the gospel and who OBEY Him, who REPENT and who are BAPTIZED IN WATER. We need the Holy Spirit to be able to follow and obey Jesus Christ . The Holy Spirit is the INDWELLING PRESENCE of Jesus Christ in out lives and we have to receive the baptism in the Holy Spirit and FOLLOW the GUIDANCE of the Holy Spirit to be able to DO the WORKS that Jesus Christ prepared for us to do, to be able to SERVE Him and be part of His kingdom.

The PROOF that you have received the baptism in the Holy Spirit is that you WILL speak in tongues as also the first believers did who received the baptism in the Holy Spirit on the day oi Pentecost and there after. If you have received the baptism in the Holy Spirit you will be able to pray in tongues at any time at will. It is your COMMUNICATION with God, praying mysteries in your spirit and the Spirit of God praying with your spirit to God.

If you have not received the ability to pray in tongues then you have not been baptized in the Holy Spirit yet and you need to SEEK Jesus, OBEY Him, EARNESTLY seek the baptism in the Holy Spirit.

We read in Mark 16:15,16 Jesus Christ said that for those who believed and were baptized certain signs would follow. One of those is that they would speak in other tongues. Jesus Christ never changed. Those signs WILL follow for those who BELIEVE, OBEY and FOLLOW Jesus Christ. If those signs are not following it is because we do not believe., we have not received the Holy Spirit and we are not following Jesus Christ.

Seek Jesus, seek the truth, seek the baptism, in the Holy Spirit, be filled with the Spirit, follow and OBEY Jesus Christ. Stay with Him until the very end. We need the Holy Spirit and we need the guidance of the Holy Spirit, every moment, to experience the presence and the power and the kingdom of God.

Have you received the baptism in the Holy spirit? Are you living in the presence of the living God? Do you truly KNOW and follow Jesus Christ?

May Jesus bless you.

Discipleship TODAY Ep 8 The PROOF of Faith

Discipleship requires FAITH. Without
faith it is impossible to please God, without faith it is impossible
to follow Jesus Christ. If you do not really believe in Him you will
not OBEY Him and you will not get to know Him.

Many people say that they believe in
Jesus Christ for their salvation but they do not know Him because
they do not OBEY Him and you will not get to know Jesus Christ if you
do not OBEY Him. You have to ACT on your faith. You have to OBEY Him
because you BELIEVE in Him. If you believe and obey Him, if you
REPENT, turn from your wicked ways and from serving yourself, turn
away from sin and accept Jesus as your Lord and Master and you are
BAPTIZED IN WATER then He REWARDS you with the baptism in the Holy
Spirit, His very own presence IN you, WITH you, you will get to KNOW
Him for REAL. But if you do not ACT on your faith, if you do not OBEY
Him, if you do not REPENT and STOP SINNING He will not come into your
life, you will not get to know Him. Your FAITH has to be PROVEN by
your ACTIONS, your DEEDS. Faith without works is DEAD. If you do not
follow and obey Jesus Christ, you DO NOT BELIEVE in Him, you do not
know Him, you do not belong to Him and you do not have salvation.

If you do not FOLLOW Jesus then you
prove that you do not believe in Him because Jesus said:”Whoever
wishes to come after Me must DENY himself, pick up his cross every
day and come here follow Me. You can only follow Jesus Christ if you
have obeyed the gospel of Jesus Christ, if you have REPENTED, been
BAPTIZED IN WATER, been filled with the Holy Spirit because then only
can you HEAR HIS VOICE and then only can you follow Him.

Many people accept Jesus, they are
baptize in water, some of them receive the baptism in the Holy Spirit
but they never start following Jesus Christ because they did not
really BELIEVE. If you BELIEVE you will GO AFTER Him, you will OBEY
Him, you will LISTEN to Him, you will HEAR Him. He will SEND you, you
will GO where He sends you, you will leave everything behind on HIS
WORD, on what He has SPOKEN to you – faith comes by the HEARING of
the WORD OF GOD, it is when Jesus SPEAKS to you, when He CALLS you,
when He SENDS you that you BELIEVE and you ACT and you DO and you GO
where He sends you and you are REWARDED by His INTERVENTION. You SEE
the hand of God moving miraculously, you see lives being changed, you
see people get to know Jesus Christ for REAL, you see how God
provides when He sends you, because He is God ALMIGHTY. He does not
work by human methods, He is GOD! When He sends you He goes with you
but you have to OBEY Him, you have to FOLLOW Him and if you are not
willing to go by His WORD, that which He TELLS you, which He COMMANDS
you to do then you did not BELIEVE or you were UNWILLING but you
PROVE that you do not really BELIEVE Jesus Christ .

The world will know that we are His
disciples because we BEAR THE FRUIT, we are LIKE Jesus, we do HIS
WORKS, we GO where He sends us and Jesus Christ reveals Himself TO
us, IN us THROUGH us and to those who truly BELIEVE!

Do you truly BELIEVE? Are you bearing
fruit? Without Jesus we can do nothing. We can only do the works of
God if we BELIEVE, LISTEN, HEAR, FOLLOW and OBEY Jesus Christ because
then we do HIS WORKS, not natural works, not that which the "church"
does. We are not building churches, we are building the kingdom of
God because we truly bring people to the knowledge of Jesus Christ!
They KNOW Him for REAL, they FOLLOW Him and they OBEY Him and thereby
they PROVE that they BELIEVE, they PROVE that they are disciples of
Jesus Christ.

Is your faith proven? Can the world SEE
that you are a FOLLOWER an OBEDIENT disciple of Jesus Christ? Or are
you a FAKE? Are you just a church goer and a person who confesses
Jesus but does not really know Him? Do you KNOW and follow Jesus? Do
you truly BELIEVE?

May Jesus bless you.   

Proof of Salvation

Jesus Christ came to take away the sins
of the world and if a person is born again then he is not a sinner
any more, he SINS NO MORE because he OBEYS Jesus Christ, he is free
from the power of sin because he has become a child of God. The sins
that he used to do, he doesn't do them any more, he doesn't
fornicate, he doesn't cheat, he doesn't go the same places any more
because he has been born again, he is NEW INSIDE, he is a child of
God.

Glad day, when I was born again

Glad, day, when I was born again

Glad day, when I was born again

It was a glad day when I was born again

The sins I used to do

I do them no more

The sins I used to do

I do them no more

It was a glad day when I was born again

Glad day, when I was born again

Glad, day, when I was born again

Glad day, when I was born again

It was a glad day when I was born again

The sins I used to do

I do them no more

The sins I used to do

I do them no more

It was a glad day when I was born again

The proof of your salvation is in HOW
YOU LIVE, the fruit you bear. If you are BORN AGAIN and SAVED, you
SIN NO MORE because you are a NEW CREATURE. The old things have
passed away. Everything has become NEW, you are a CHILD OF GOD and
you live to please your Father.

May Jesus bless you.  

Dead Faith No Works No Proof

Faith without WORKS, without ACTION on the part of the believer, such faith is DEAD and VOID. Faith without MANIFESTATION or REVELATION on the part of the God in which a person believes is also dead and void, there is no proof.

Most professing Christians do not prove by their actions that they truly believe in Jesus Christ because they do not OBEY His words. They do not live their lives in the way that Jesus commanded His followers to live, they do not live the lives of DISCIPLES of Jesus Christ, so thus they do not prove their faith to be real. Their faith has no proof. Further, they have no testimony of the MANIFESTATION or the REVELATION of Jesus Christ in their lives, so in itself their faith is VOID, EMPTY and DEAD.

Jesus Christ is the LIVING GOD and if we OBEY Him and DO what He commanded us to do, if we REPENT, turn away from sin, are BAPTIZED IN WATER and we OBEY HIS WORDS then He will reveal Himself to us as REAL and the whole world around us will SEE that out faith has substance. Jesus said:”for those who have believed and have been baptized” certain SIGNS will follow, in His Name they will cast out demons, they will lay their hands on the sick and they will recover, they will speak in other tongues... For most believers none of these signs have followed. Their faith is DEAD and VOID, they have no testimony nor proof of their faith in Jesus Christ. They live like the rest of the world, they love the world and THEY ARE SINNERS, they NEVER STOPPED SINNING, they never started obeying Jesus Christ, so by their actions they PROVE that they do not believe in the words of Jesus Christ. Their faith is dead!

Is your and my faith alive? Is there any proof or manifestation? Are their any WORKS, any manifestations that prove that our faith is real and the God that we believe in is alive? Jesus Christ is ALIVE. If your faith is dead it just proves that you do not really believe in Him.

May Jesus bless you.

Proof of SALVATION

You immediately see the difference in a person that has been saved. A person that has met Jesus and has decided to follow Jesus, immediately that person is not interested in the same things any more. He does not hang out with the same friends any more, he does not do the same things, he DOES NOT SIN ANY MORE, he seeks to be pleasing to Jesus in everything. He is on a DIFFERENT ROAD, he is following his King, his Lord, his Master. All that he can talk about is Jesus Christ.

Do you know such people? Do you know anybody who is truly saved, who loves Jesus and who lives for the kingdom of God? If a person is SAVED he is totally different, he is not of this world any more, he is of the kingdom of God and he lives for Jesus Christ.

Are you saved? Are you living FOR Jesus? Is Jesus Christ YOUR LIFE and can the world see that you belong to Jesus and His Kingdom?

May Jesus bless you.

Where is Jesus?

Jesus is God and God is SPIRIT. We cannot see spirit but we ourselves are also spirit and we live in a body. The reason why we do not perceive, SEE Jesus Christ is because we are in the physical and we want to perceive things with our physical senses by hearing, seeing, feeling, tasting. If people cannot physically see, feel, touch or understand things then they say it doesn't exist but yet we are SPIRIT. If we become spiritually ALIVE, tuned in, then we will see Jesus, we will SEE GOD.

Jesus is everywhere, He has always been, He is God. All things were made by Him and through Him and in Him, by His POWER all things hold together. Without Jesus nothing can exist. We ourselves will not exist without Jesus, He keeps us alive, He is always present, He knows everything about us but we are unaware of Him because we are not tuned in to Him.

If we SEEK Jesus we will FIND Him. If we ASK Him He will reveal Himself to us in the physical and in our spirit, our spirit will come alive and we will see Jesus. Jesus said that those who are pure in heart, they will see God. What separates us from God is sin. If we REPENT OF SIN, turn away from sin and seek Jesus with all our power, PRAY to Him, CALL OUT to Him, ASK HIM to reveal Himself to you then He will reveal Himself to you and you will KNOW that Jesus is ALIVE. Your SPIRITUAL SENSES will come alive and you will HEAR, SEE and PERCEIVE Jesus all the time.

His sheep LISTEN to His VOICE and they FOLLOW Him. We cannot follow Jesus if we do not know Him, if our SPIRITUAL SENSES are not alive and TUNED IN to Jesus. If we seek Him we will find Him, if we draw closer to Him He will draw closer to us and He will reveal Himself to us so that we will KNOW Him for REAL. He will MANIFEST Himself in the physical, in the things around us, in our lives, we will SEE the hand of God but FIRST we have to purify ourselves so that we can SEE HIM. Those who are PURE IN HEART, they will SEE GOD.

Seek Him with all your heart and you will find Him, you will SEE Him, you will KNOW Him and you will be able to TESTIFY about Him. Seek Jesus and you will find Him.

May Jesus bless you.

LOST without a Bible

Most professing Christians will be lost without a Bible. If they do not have a Bible they do not have faith and they have nothing to stand on, they have no proof for their faith because their faith is based on a book written by men who knew God.

Most Christians do not know Jesus, they do not know His voice, they do not follow Him, they have no relationship with Him whatsoever. They base their faith on scriptures and they “prove” their salvation with scripture but they have no testimony of meeting Jesus Christ. They do not walk with Him, they do not know Him at all. They would be LOST without their Bible but what THEY DO NOT KNOW is that THEY ARE LOST BECAUSE THEY DO NOT KNOW JESUS. They do not follow Him and they do not obey Him and they will perish in their sins because if they were following Jesus and OBEYING Him they would SIN NO MORE. They would do His will and Jesus would be seen in them, they would be the Light of the World, they would be the Body of Christ if they KNEW and FOLLOWED Jesus but now they are LOST because they believe in a book. They do not know Jesus Christ whom the Book talks about.

Are you LOST without Jesus because you cling to a Bible or have you met Jesus and do you KNOW His VOICE? Do you follow him and do you SERVE Him as Lord and Master?

May Jesus bless you.

The Bible is NOT God's WORD

It was a very clever plot of the devil to get people to believe that the Bible is God's Word because once people believe in a book you can change the book and you can use the book to manipulate people to do what you want them to do. The Bible is just a book, it was written by people.

There are more than 300 different versions and translations of the English Bible alone. Every church and denomination and person who is of a different opinion of his interpretation of the Bible has taken the liberty to change and interpret the Bible, “God's Word” as they say, to their own liking. The Jefferson Bible has been modified to exclude the miracles of Jesus, the words of Jesus. Still people say the Bible is the WORD OF GOD and they believe in it. They believe that it is the COMPLETE WORD OF GOD – whatever God said is contained in the Bible. That is very convenient but it ignores God, it takes God out of the equation and people get busy with the Bible.

God has spoken to many people through the ages. He has revealed Himself to many and some of them wrote down their experiences, and some of those documents are contained in the Bible but that does not make it the Word of God. It is what they heard from God and it does not mean that we have to believe what they said, because they are mere humans.

Jesus Christ Himself is the Word of God and God speaks for Himself. In these last times God spoke to us through Jesus. He sent Jesus to deliver His Words, WORDS OF ETERNAL LIFE so that those who believe those words and who OBEY them, they will have eternal life because Jesus WILL REVEAL HIMSELF TO THOSE WHO OBEY HIS WORDS. The words of Jesus, as they were recorded by the eye witnesses and as they were remembered by some of those who heard Him, those words were recorded in the gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, and if we take those words seriously and we seek Jesus with all our heart He will reveal Himself to us and we will get to KNOW HIM FOR REAL and then we will HEAR the WORD OF GOD because God Himself, Jesus Christ in the flesh, who IS also God, He will SPEAK to us. Man will not live from bread alone but from every word that proceeds from the MOUTH of God. God will speak to us IN OUR SPIRIT, we will get to KNOW Him, we will get to KNOW Jesus Christ.

A collection of books called the Bible is NOT THE WORD OF GOD. It is the most lucrative publication that has ever been sold. More copies of the Bible have been sold and published than any other book in the whole wide world and the same publishers that publish the Bible also publish the satan's bible and all the other versions because it makes MONEY.

If you want to know the truth, SEEK JESUS and He will reveal Himself to you. Many people think that if they quote Bible verses, even if they quote the words that Jesus spoke that they will have salvation. It is not those who read the Bible, who quote it and who preach it that are saved or that will have LIFE, it is those who KNOW Jesus Christ, who OBEY Him and who FOLLOW Him, those who KNOW the LIVING GOD and who live in relationship with Him.

Jesus will say to many in that day:”Go away I NEVER KNEW YOU,” and they will be disappointed to learn that they were deceived by the devil, by people, they thought they were saved based on what they believed from the scriptures, from the Bible but they never got to know Jesus – they were deceived by the devil!

Dear friend, we need to KNOW JESUS and He needs to know us. He is GOD, He is ALIVE. His sheep LISTEN to his voice and they follow Him every day. They live to please Him. Many people live like the devil and the quote the Bible and they believe they have eternal life. The devil also quotes the Bible but he does not obey Jesus. He knows Jesus but he will not follow nor obey Him. He knows God, he knows the Word of God and he knows to deceive people but we need to KNOW Jesus. Knowing your Bible will not save you. The Bible is NOT God's Word. You need to HEAR God speaking to you.

If you do not HEAR God speaking to you, then you are not one of His sheep. If you SEEK HIM you will FIND HIM. If we draw closer to Him He will draw closer to us and He will reveal Himself to us.

Do not be deceived. Seek Jesus for yourself and you will find Him. Obey Him and follow Him until the very end and you will have LIFE.

If we do not follow Him and obey Him and live for Him until the end then He will also reject and deny us. If we have no relationship with Him right now in this life, WHAT DO WE WANT TO HAVE TO DO WITH HIM FOR ETERNITY? If we don't know Him now we will never know Him. Get to know Jesus NOW before it is for ever TOO LATE!

May Jesus bless you.

Bearing Fruit 12 months a year

Jesus Christ called us to bear good fruit, to bear fruit that will give glory to God our Father. If we are IN CHRIST, born again and following Jesus we will bear good fruit 12 months a year, 365 days a year, without fail. It does not matter what the season is, the economy does not affect us, our circumstances do not affect us because those who are planted by Jesus, are planted next to the STREAM OF THE RIVER OF LIFE that FLOWS FROM THE THRONE OF GOD, they bear fruit twelve months a year and they glorify God their Father.

Jesus said that every branch in Him that does not bear good fruit will get cut off and burned. He said that every tree that does not bear good fruit will get cut off and the ax is already lying at the root of the trees. Many who profess to be children of God are not bearing good fruit, they are bad trees and they will get cut off.

Every branch that bears good fruit will be pruned so that it can bear more fruit, but it will bear fruit if it is IN CHRIST. That is our purpose, it is to bear good fruit. If we do not bear good fruit we will certainly get cut off.

Are we bearing good fruit? Are we thereby proving to be children of God and thereby bringing glory to our Father EVERY DAY, regardless of circumstances? Are we GOOD TREES, planted by the Master?

May Jesus bless you.

Prove Yourself

Many people claim to be Christians, followers of Jesus Christ. They belong to a church, they practice religion, they read their Bibles, they quote Bible verses and some of them can say very nice long prayers but if you look at their lives they are exactly like the world. Their deeds prove that they are not of Jesus, they are of this world.

If we follow Jesus Christ and we are children of God we prove by our deeds that we are children of God, not by our words of by our claims, or what we claim to believe, our beliefs. It is HOW WE LIVE. Are we LIKE JESUS, are we following Jesus and doing that which is pleasing to Him? The PROOF is in how we ARE, how we ACT, what we DO. Are we LIKE JESUS CHRIST? Are we sons of God or do our deeds prove that indeed we are hypocrites and sons of the devil. It is not the verses that you can quote of the claims that you can make, it is HOW YOU LIVE. We prove by our DEEDS whether we are children of God.

Are we children of God or are we indeed sons of satan disguising ourselves as children of God?

May Jesus bless you.

Proof that Jesus is God

People debate over whether Jesus Christ is God or not. Even Christians seek in the Bible for proof that Jesus Christ is God and yet they do not find it because they do not know Him. Even one of His disciples, Philip, said to Him:”Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us.” And Jesus said to him:”I have been with you for so long, and have you not known Me?”

If you SEEK Jesus Christ, you will find Him. If you SERVE Him He will REVEAL Himself to you and you will KNOW that HE IS GOD. The reason that people do not know that Jesus Christ is God is because they just DO NOT KNOW HIM.

Many cast out demons and do many things in the name of Jesus but they DON'T KNOW HIM. They don't know HE IS GOD. It is to them that Jesus will say one day:”Go away I never knew you, you workers of wickedness.”

Do YOU know that JESUS IS GOD?

May Jesus bless you.

Blind Faith

To follow Jesus Christ requires BLIND FAITH. If you can see something, feel it, describe it why do you still believe IN IT? Most people will NOT follow Jesus because Jesus Christ is not real to them but without faith it is impossible to please God. You have to BELIEVE, and you have to TRUST Him although you cannot SEE Him and then you will see His handiwork in the physical. You will see things happening in your life in the physical.
Our relationship with Jesus Christ is not a physical relationship, it is a spiritual relationship. That is why you must be BORN AGAIN so that you can PERCEIVE Jesus Christ and the kingdom of Heaven in your SPIRIT. If you are not born again of the Spirit of God then you will not follow Jesus, then the kingdom of Heaven will not be real to you and Jesus Christ will not be real to you.
You need to be SPIRITUALLY REBORN and then you will follow Him in BLIND FAITH, He will reveal Himself to you in the natural, the physical. You will see the hand of God, you will receive wisdom, knowledge, guidance, discipline IN YOUR SPIRIT. And when He guides you, you will follow Him WITHOUT QUESTION because you BLINDLY TRUST Him.
Is Jesus Christ REAL to you? Will you BLINDLY FOLLOW Him? Or does common sense and your senses rule you? Do you want confirmation from physical things, from your bible, from other people or is Jesus Christ more real to you than the physical? Do you really KNOW Him and will you BLINDLY follow Him? If you don't, you don't have faith, then Jesus Christ is not real to you.
If you SEEK Him, OBEY Him, REPENT of sin, be BAPTIZED IN WATER and seek Him He will REVEAL HIMSELF TO YOU and you will have SPIRITUAL PERCEPTION. But then IN FAITH you have to daily deny yourself pick up your cross and BLINDLY FOLLOW Him where He guides you.

May Jesus bless you.

Walking in the GREATER WORKS

If we follow Jesus Christ signs and wonders will follow us because Jesus said that he who believes in Him will do the works that He did AND GREATER. Jesus also said that it was not Him who did the works that He did but the Father who LIVED IN HIM. If Jesus Christ LIVES IN US then it will be HIM IN US doing the works.
When we follow Jesus He shows us what to do, He tells us what to DO and what to SAY. By FAITH we TRUST Him, we OBEY Him and signs and wonders follow. When Peter and the other disciples saw Jesus walking on the sea, Peter asked Jesus if he could also walk to Him on the sea and Jesus said:”Come!” Peter got out of the boat and he walked on the sea ON THE COMMAND OF JESUS. He did the impossible but when he took His eyes off Jesus and he saw the waves and the water HE SUNK, because he took his eyes off the Master.
If we keep our eyes on the Master then we will do what He commands us to do and the greater works will follow, Jesus said, for those who HAVE BELIEVED and HAVE BEEN BAPTIZED these signs shall follow: They will lay their hands on the sick and they will recover, they will speak in other tongues, they will drink poison, they will take up snakes and nothing will happen to them.
The greater works will follow those who follow Jesus. Are the GREATER WORKS following YOU and me? Do we truly believe and are we following Jesus Christ? Are the GREATER WORKS following us?

May Jesus bless you.
