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.

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.

DO NOT ABANDON YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS

Many believers accept Jesus, but very

soon they abandon their relationship with Him. Some were never taught
to work on their relationship with Jesus. They were told that they
only need to believe in Jesus and then they will have eternal life.

“Everyone who calls on the Name of
the Lord will be saved.” Romans 10:13. Jesus saves from sin. He
pardons our past sin and give us a new beginning. He makes us a child
of God, if we repent and accept Him. He gives us the hope of eternal
life and the hope to inherit the kingdom of heaven. However, we only
have the hope of eternal life as long as we stay with Jesus and obey
Him. Jesus needs to know us.

If we go back to sin and living worldly
lives Jesus warned that He will deny us. Being religious, going to
church, reading your Bible, even preaching, working for the church,
casting out demons in the name of Jesus and doing miracles in His
name, will not ensure our salvation. Jesus said: “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 7:21-23.

Jesus only gives eternal life to those
who follow and obey Him. He said:
“My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me; 28and
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.

Practicing
religion is not a relationship with Jesus. Our relationship with
Jesus is through prayer and walking with Him, hearing His voice,
following and obeying Him. We grow and maintain our relationship with
Jesus through constant communion with Him, in our spirit, through His
Spirit that He makes to dwell in us, if we obey Him. Sin and
disobedience breaks off our communion with Jesus, our connection with
Him. Repentance and obedience restores our communion with Him. The
moment we willfully sin, we separate ourselves from Jesus, and we
stay separated until we repent and go back to Him. We have to
maintain our relationship with Jesus through holiness and obedience,
always seeking and doing His will. He will guide us, if we FOLLOW
Him, but we have to seek His guidance.

Jesus
gives His Holy Spirit in those who obey His words and commandments,
and He guides them by His Spirit. Many believers do not obey the
words and commandments of Jesus as they are recorded in the gospels,
in Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. They refuse to repent and be
baptized and live holy. How will they then receive and obey the Holy
Spirit? That is why many believers never receive the Holy Spirit.
Others have received the Holy Spirit, but they do not obey Him. They
follow their own mind and their own lusts, not Jesus. Others follow
after other people, preachers and churches. They have abandoned their
relationship with Jesus and they will perish in hell if they do not
get back to Him, restore their relationship, and follow and obey Him
until the end.

How
is our relationship with Jesus? Do we obey His words and
commandments? Have we repented and been baptized in water as Jesus
commanded? Are we living holy and righteously? Do we pray and seek
Jesus? Have we received His Holy Spirit dwelling in us? Do we hear
Him, listen and obey, follow Him? Is our relationship with Jesus
growing. Most importantly: Does Jesus know us, and is He pleased with
us?

Is
our relationship with Jesus well and alive or have we abandoned Him?
Are we really following Jesus or are we busy with lip service and
religion?

May
Jesus bless you.

YOU MUST WORK OUT YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS

It requires hard work and dedication to

build and maintain any good relationship. Our most important
relationship for this life and for eternity, is our relationship with
Jesus. The quality and reality of our relationship with Jesus, will
determine whether we spend eternity in heaven with Him, or away from
Him in hell.

Jesus warned:“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 7:21-23. Jesus was not talking about
unbelievers, He was talking about believers who were practicing
lawlessness, sinning. Even though they were casting out demons,
performing miracles in the name of Jesus, they were practicing sin,
and therefor Jesus would deny them, reject them.

Disobedience to Jesus and sin separate
us from 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.”
“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
14:21,23,24.

The commandments of Jesus are His
words, the words that He spoke as also recorded in Matthew, Mark,
Luke and John. By obeying His commandments we prove that we love
Jesus and He promised to disclose Himself to those who obey His
words. He promised His Holy Spirit to come and dwell in the one who
loves and obeys Him. He will lead and guide them in all things and
will be with them for eternity.

Jesus will never leave us, nor forsake
us. He will always be with us, but if we sin and disobey Him, we go
away from Him. Our sin separates us from Him.

We need to seek Jesus, spend time in
prayer with Him, meditate on His words, always have Jesus on our
mind. Worldly hobbies, friends, things of the world, sports, TV,
entertainment, movies, video games, the lust of the flesh, will draw
us away from Jesus.

We need to decide what is more
important to us, Jesus or other things. The quality of our
relationship with Jesus depends on us. If we are not serious and do
not love Him above all things, we are not worthy of Him, and He will
deny us. Spending time with Christian friends, fellowship with other
believers, attending church, Bible study and reading Christian books,
listening to Christian music, all of that, is not fellowship with
Jesus. Those things do not build our relationship with Jesus. It is
the time that we spend with Him, doing the things that He tells us to
do, that keeps us in communion with Him.

Jesus said: “My sheep hear My voice,
and I know them, and they follow Me; 28and 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. We need to be listening, hearing and
following Jesus.

Each of us must work out and build our
own relationship with Jesus. Nobody else can do it for us. We must
keep it alive, vibrant, real, all the time, until the end. We must
not allow our relationship with Jesus to slip. It must get stronger,
more intimate, lasting until the very end. Only those who endure and
stay faithful until the end will enter the kingdom of heaven.

If you have
slipped or were not serious enough, repent, go back to Jesus, get
serious and fix your relationship with Jesus, and keep it right. Do
not wait until you die and it is too late. Today is the day of
salvation. Seek Jesus today, while He still may be found. Tomorrow
may be for ever too late.

May Jesus bless you.

Guard You Relationship With Jesus

Most Christian believers do not understand that salvation is about knowing obeying and following Jesus Christ. It is not religion, it is a relationship with the Living God.

God revealed Himself in and through Jesus Christ who took on the form of a man, to take away the sins of the world and save many from eternal damnation. Jesus saves those who believe in Him and obey His teachings as they were also recorded in the gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Jesus saves those who accept Him as their Lord and Master, repent, turn from their evil ways, are baptized in water and live in obedience to His teachings. He forgives their past sin, reveals Himself to them, they are born again, made new inside, and He gives His Holy Spirit in them, to teach and guide them and to be with them for ever. If they stay with Him, follow and obey Him until the end, He gives them eternal life. Those who disbelieve, reject and disobey Jesus, will perish in eternal damnation.

Most Christian believers practice religion. They do not obey and follow Him. They do not know Him. They do not have a real relationship with Him. Salvation is not about complying with a set of rules, and performing religious rituals. It is about our relationship with Jesus, obeying and following Him, staying with Him.

Our relationship with Jesus depends on our obedience to Him. If we love Him, we will obey Him and do what He commands. If we sin and disobey Him we destroy our relationship with Jesus.

If we care about our relationship with Jesus,  we will be very careful not to disobey Him and not to sin. If we do sin, the only way to restore our relationship with Jesus is to repent of that sin, with remorse and contriteness, to plead His forgiveness, and to make every effort not to do the same sin again. 

We have to constantly work on our relationship with Jesus and make sure that we do what is pleasing to Him in everything. The only way  that we can grow our relationship with Jesus is through constantly keeping Jesus on our mind, praying, being totally dependent on Him.

In all things we must ask His guidance and obey Him. He will guide and teach us, through His Holy Spirit that He gives in those who love and obey Him.

We have to guard our relationship with Jesus above all things, because without Jesus we have no hope, no expectation. Jesus warned that He will say to many Christian believers, when they die:"Go away I never knew you, you workers of wickedness." They will be cast into damnation because they never obeyed and followed Jesus. They never had any relationship with Him. They were just religious.

How is our relationship with Jesus? Do we know  obey and follow Jesus? Do we truly know Him and does He know us? Are we guarding our relationship with Jesus?

May Jesus bless you.

Work out your own relationship with Jesus

Salvation is all about our relationship with Jesus Christ. Do we know Him? Does He know us? Do we obey Him? Have we repented and stopped sinning? Have we received the Holy Spirit that He promised to those who obey Him, and are we being taught and guided by the Holy Spirit?

If we do not know Jesus and have no relationship with Him, we have no hope of salvation.

If we seek Jesus and obey His teachings, His commands, He will come and live with us and will disclose Himself to us. We will know Him for real, listen to His voice and follow Him.

We each need to work out our own relationship with Jesus and make sure that we are pleasing to Him.

How is your relationship with Jesus? Do you know Jesus and do you follow Him?

May Jesus bless you.

Your Salvation Is Determined By

Your salvation is determined by your relationship with and your  obedience to Jesus Christ.

Many profess to believe in Jesus but they do not know Him, nor obey Him. They have no relationship with Him.

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.’ Matthew 7:21-23.

Many are preachers, with big churches and huge followings. They prophecy in the name of Jesus, they cast out demons and they perform miracles, but Jesus will reject them and turn them away, because they practice lawlessness, they are sinners and they do not obey the commands of Jesus. Those who followed them and believed that they had salvation, will also be turned away by Jesus, because they followed after men, they never knew nor followed Jesus Himself. Most church people are in that situation.

Those who are serious about following Jesus, seek His fellowship and approval. They obey His words, as also recorded in the gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John; they repent of sin and of going after their own sinful selfish desires. They live holy and are baptized in water as Jesus commanded. They seek communion with Jesus, through prayer, and He gives His Holy Spirit in them to teach, comfort and guide them in all things. They live for Jesus and His kingdom, and the Holy Spirit guides them into fruitfulness for the kingdom of God. He guides them in every aspect of their lives because they seek His guidance and approval. They grow every day in their knowledge of and realtionship with Jesus. They are His sheep. They hear His voice and they follow Him. They follow the Savior and they obey Him.

Jesus said that:"those who endure until the end, will be saved." We must follow and be faithful to Jesus until the end, to have salvation. Those who turn away from Jesus will not enter His kingdom. Many believe they have salvation because they confess to believe in Jesus, but they do not know, nor follow Him. They will not enter heaven, if they do not repent and obey the truth, until the end.

How is your relationship with Jesus? Do you obey Him? Are you following Him every day?

Do not be deceived by the wolves in the churches, that promise people salvation, which they themselves do not have. They will get cut off and burned.

Jesus warned:"“Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves. 16“You will know them by their fruits. Grapes are not gathered from thorn bushes nor figs from thistles, are they? 17“So every good tree bears good fruit, but the bad tree bears bad fruit. 18“A good tree cannot produce bad fruit, nor can a bad tree produce good fruit. 19“Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20“So then, you will know them by their fruits. Mattthew 7:15-20.

Do not be deceived, dear friend. Jesus Christ is the only way. Your salvation depends on your relationship with Him. Turn to Jesus. Obey Him, Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. Do not look to other people, follow Jesus, seek His guidance and approval. Secure your relationship with Jesus and stay with Him until the end.

May Jesus bless you.

Work on your own relationship with Jesus

Each and every follower of Jesus Christ
must work on their own relationship with Jesus, and make sure that He
knows them, that they stay with Him and that He is pleased with them.
They must endure with Him until the very end. Without Jesus we can do
nothing. If we do not remain with Jesus and in utter obedience to
Him, following Him and doing His will, then we cannot be fruitful, we
cannot be fruitful for the kingdom of God.

Jesus warned that every branch in Him,
that does not bear fruit will get cut off and burned. Nothing is more
important than our relationship with Jesus Christ. It is only when we
remain with Him, when we stay with Him, walk with Him every day,
listen to His voice and respond, that we can do what He requires of
us, that He can use us, it is only if we make ourselves available to
Him and are tuned in to Him, dedicated to Him to serve Him, that we
will be useful for His kingdom.

Many believers are busy with their own;
religion they walk their own road, they are busy with their own
studies of the Bible, the are busy with their own projects for God.
They believe in Jesus, and they want to serve Him according to their
insight, and according to what other people tell them, what to do,
but they don't have a relationship with Jesus. Many are distracted
from following Jesus and they start running after other people. Jesus
warned that He will say to many believers in that day that they die,
when they stand before Him, He will say to them:"Go away I never
knew you, you workers of wickedness."

We can only be pleasing to Jesus if our
relationship with Him is right, if He is pleased with us. We have to
stay close to Him. Work on your relationship with Jesus Christ. There
is nothing more important than that. Do not allow anybody or anything
to distract you and take you away from Jesus.

If you need wisdom, if you need
guidance, pray. Talk to Jesus. Ask Him. Wait on Him. He is faithful
and true. He loves you and He cares for you. He will never leave you.
He will guide you and He will teach you, but you have to trust Him
and stay with Him. Do not leave Jesus. Nothing can pluck you out of
His hand, but if you decide to stray, if you go away from Jesus, you
are in danger of hellfire, because Jesus will not hold you back.

Work on your own relationship with
Jesus and make sure that He is pleased with you and you're with Him
until the very end, to have eternal life.

May Jesus bless you.

Your Relationship With Jesus Is YOUR Responsibility

Nothing is more important for our eternal welbeing, than our relationship with Jesus Christ. When we die we will open our eyes in eternity, either to eternal life with Jesus or eternal life in damnation.

As we die so shall we awake in eternity. If we closely followed Him and selved Him, we will be with Him, but if we rejected and ignored Him we will spend eternity away from Him.

Our relationship with Jesus is strictly between us and Him. Nobody else can work on it for us. We have to work out our own salvation with fear and trembling.

Jesus is not concerned about your Bible knowledge or church attendance. He requires obedience. He said:"If you love Me. obey my commands." He also said that He will say to many in that day:"Go away I never knew you, you workers of iniquity." Believing in Jesus cannot save us if we do not obey Him and live Holy and righteously.

The approval of men will not help you to get into heaven, whether it be your Christian friends, your pastor or any other person. We need the approval of Jesus.

Obey Jesus, repent and be baptized in water, live in holiness and righteousness in accordance with His words as also recorded in the gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Seek Jesus always, and He will give His Holy Spirit in you to teach and guide you so that you can be pleasing to Him.

Your Relationship With Jesus Is YOUR Responsibility. Make sure that Jesus is pleased with you today and every day of your life until the very end.

May Jesus bless you.

Do You Have Extra Oil?

We must never become complacent about our relationship with Jesus Christ. Jesus Himself warned us, as I read in Matthew chapter 25:"Then the kingdom of heaven will be compared to ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. Five of them were foolish and five were prudent. For when the foolish took their lamps they took no oil with them, but the prudent took oil in flasks along with their lamps. Now while the bridegroom was delaying they all got drowsy and began to sleep, but at midnight there was a shout:"Behold the bridegroom, come out to meet Him." Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps. The foolish said to the prudent, "Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out," but the prudent answered "No they will not be enough for us and you too. Go instead to the dealers and buy some for yourselves," and while they were going away to make the purchase, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with Him to the wedding feast, and the door was shut. Later the other virgins also came saying:"Lord Lord open up for us but He answered:"Truly, I say to you, I do not know you." Be on the alert then for you do not know the day nor the hour."

Now we see that these ten virgins the, wise and the foolish, both were waiting for the coming of the bridegroom. Both had prepared, but both of them became drowsy and they fell asleep, but the five prudent virgins had extra oil for their lamps. The foolish virgins did not have that extra oil. What is the extra oil? It is our relationship with Jesus Christ. Do we seek Him? Do we follow Him. Do we hear from Him? Are we walking close to Him, or do we become complacent? Many believers want other believers to speak to God for them? They say:"Pray for me. Go and ask Jesus for me." You need to look after your own relationship with Jesus, because what will Jesus say to those who were ready but they did not have the extra oil and they went to get extra oil? What will He say to them? He will say:"Go away, I do not know you."

Many believers think that they are saved because they believe in Jesus, but they have no relationship with Jesus. Some have a poor relationship, it's off and on. We need to follow Jesus every day. We need to never become complacent, but seek Him, seek His guidance, seek His presence. Follow Him every day because if we don't, we will hear those terrible words:"Go away I never knew you."

Are we following Jesus diligently every day? Do we seek Him? Are we serious about our relationship with Jesus? If we are not serious and if we do not keep that relationship then we are in danger of hellfire? Don't become complacent. Seek Jesus every day for yourself. Hear from Him and make sure that He is pleased with you.

May Jesus bless you.

Salvation is not a formula or series of actions

Salvation is not a formula. I it is not
a series of steps that you take. It is not just believing in Jesus
Christ. Salvation is is knowing the Living God, Jesus Christ, and
serving Him, obeying Him, being in the right relationship with Him.
Jesus Christ is alive and if we do not know Him, follow Him and obey
Him, we will not have salvation. Jesus Christ is the way and He
teaches us the way. He shows us the way.

We have to know Him and follow Him.
Believers have been taught to believe in some theology, a series of
steps that they take and then they have salvation; believing in Jesus
and then they have salvation, that is not the truth. Salvation is
about our relationship with Jesus Christ, because He is the Living
God. He speaks. His sheep hear His voice and they listen to Him.

Salvation is not just a theory or a
methodology, it is Jesus Christ. It is the same as your relationship
with any other person. You have to work on your relationship, you
have to secure your relationship. You have to make sure that your
relationship is right. If you do not work on your relationship it
will die.

Most believers have no relationship
with Jesus Christ. They have never met Him. There are conditions to
our relationship with Jesus Christ. Firstly we have to believe that
He is whom He said He is, that He is God, and if we believe that
Jesus Christ is Lord, then we must obey His words, the words that He
spoke, that He delivered, as they are also recorded in the Gospels
Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. If we truly believe in Jesus we will
obey Him; we will repent, turn away from sin, turn away from our own
ways, turn to Jesus, seek Him with all our heart,. Obey Him, be
baptized in water, and then He will reveal Himself to us. He will
become real to us, we will know Him for real. We will have a real
relationship with Him and that relationship has to grow through our
fellowship with Him, daily walking with Him, listening to Him,
obeying Him. If you have not made that connection with Jesus, that
you truly know Him, then you do not have salvation. You can read the
Bible as much as you want. You can apply biblical principles as much
as you want. You can be as religious as you possibly can, but if you
do not know Jesus Christ He will say to you when you die:"Go
away I never knew you."

We have to seek Jesus, we have to obey
His commands. We have to go after Him and He will reveal Himself to
us. He will speak to us every day. You have to forget everything
that you've heard that you've learned and you've got to get to know
Jesus Christ. It is useless to know Bible verses, to know the Bible,
to go to church, to belong to a church, to have a fellowship with
your church club members, if you do not have that relationship with
Jesus, if you do not know Him. There is one vital relationship and
that is your relationship with Jesus Christ. If that is missing then
you do not have any hope of salvation. You have to know follow and
obey Jesus Christ. Without Jesus Christ we have no hope, no future,
no expectation. D

Do you know Jesus? Have you come to
know Him for real? How is your relationship with Jesus Christ? Are
you following and obeying Him? Are you living for the kingdom of God?

May Jesus bless you.

Reality Relationship With Jesus Christ

Our relationship with Jesus depends on our communion that we have with Him in the spirit, where we communicate with Him in the Spirit, in the Holy Spirit, His Spirit, dwelling in us and communicating with our spirit, speaking to us, us hearing Him, responding to Him, believing Him and acting on that which He communicates to us.

Most believers do not have that relationship with Jesus. They do not hear His voice.They do not have His Spirit dwelling in them. They do not listen to Him and they do not respond to the Holy Spirit speaking in them.

We have to set our mind on Jesus and fix our spirit on Him, tune in to Him , listen to Him and let His Spirit speak into our spirit.

Those who have the mind of Christ, hear Him speaking to them. They live in communion with Him. Their communion is not with other people and their inspiration does not come just from Bible verses and from hearing what other people say. Their inspiration and their guidance comes from their communication with Jesus Christ, His Spirit working in them, the implanted Spirit cultivating and working in them to work His works in them, to bear fruit for His kingdom.

Is our relationship with Jesus real? Do we tune in to His Spirit, listen to Him and allow Him to cultivate us, speak to us, teach us and guide us and bring us into His presence so that we can experience the reality of Jesus Christ in us, Christ living in us? Is our relationship with Jesus Christ real? May Jesus bless you.

Guard Your Walk

Jesus Christ will never
leave us and He will never forsake us. He will always be there with
us, but we have to stay with Him until the very end. We have to guard
our walk with Him. If we stray from Jesus, if we leave Him, He will
not hold us back. He will call us back.

If we stray He might
discipline us, put circumstances in our way to turn us from our
wicked ways, to turn us back to Him. Many believers do not recognize
the hand of God when He disciplines them. They become hardened of
heart through the deceitfulness of their sin, because they went their
own way. The Holy Spirit will call us back, convict us to change our
ways, but He will never force us.

Our relationship with
Jesus, our walk with Him, is our responsibility. The quality of our
walk with Him depends entirely on us, because Jesus is faithful, but
if we are unfaithful we will lose Him, we will lose eternal life. We
have to guard our walk with Him and make sure that we are doing what
is pleasing to Him. We must make sure that we obey His commands, that
which He taught, that which He commanded as also recorded in the
Gospels Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.

We must seek Him. We must
seek His voice, His Spirit, His guidance. If we seek Him, we find
Him; if we draw closer to Him, He draws closer to us. If we ask Him
He will speak to us. He will guide us, He will teach us, but if we
turn away from Him, if we stray from Him, we will perish, if we do
not repent. We have to guard our walk with Jesus. We have to make
ourselves available to Him. We have to seek His guidance, we have to
seek to be pleasing to Him, because if we don't we are not worthy of
Him. If we do not guard our walk we will go stray and we will end up
in hell.

Our relationship and our
walk with Jesus depends entirely on us. If we are not willing He will
not force us. If we don't want to follow Him He will not force us. He
loves us, He cares for us, but He will never force us. If we don't
love Him and if we don't care for Him and we don't care for our
relationship with Him, our walk with Him, then we will not enter His
kingdom. We need to seek to hear His voice. We need to seek to be
guided by him. We need to seek His kingdom and His righteousness. We
need to seek Jesus Himself. If we don't, in the end we will only have
ourselves to blame when He turns us away, and He says to us:"Go
away, I never knew you, you workers of wickedness." We need to
cleanse our lives, repent, be baptized in water, seek the baptism in
the Holy Spirit, seek to hear His voice every day. If we don't, we
will stray from Him. It depends entirely on us where we will end up.
Jesus is willing and He is eager to save us, but if we don't want to
be saved, if we don't want to walk with Him and follow Him, in the
end He will deliver us to our desires. If we love other things more
than Him, then we will end up where those other things take us.

How is our walk with
Jesus? Are we close to Him? Do we seek to obey Him? Do we seek to
hear His voice? Are we serious about the kingdom of God? Are we
seeking revelation from Him, or don't we care? Is it not a priority
in our lives. If it's not a priority then, we're not worthy of Jesus.
If we are lukewarm, He will spew us out" We have to serve Jesus
and follow Him, go after Him with all our heart, with everything that
is in us. Not many are being saved. Jesus said:"Strive hard,
because Strait is the gate and narrow is the door and few there be
that find it ." Very few want to walk with Jesus. Very few guard
their walk with Jesus. Are we serious with Jesus? Do we really love
Him and do we really want to enter His kingdom?

May Jesus bless you.

A Real WALK With Jesus

The only way to have
salvation eternal life is to follow Jesus Christ, to be in a real a
walk with Him. How does that come about? If we hear the gospel of
Jesus and we believe, we have to obey Him, repent, turn away from
sin, and accept Jesus into our life as our Lord and Master. We have
to pray, plead His forgiveness for our past sins, and commit to
follow and obey Him for the rest of our lives. If we do that, He
forgives our past sins and He writes His laws in our heart, His
commands, His requirements, so that we know what He requires of us,
how we should, live in holiness and in righteousness. And then we
have to further obey Him, be baptized in water for the washing off of
our sins.

Jesus promised to give His
Holy Spirit in us, to teach us and to guide us, every step of the
way. Those who are being led by the Spirit of God, they are the
children of God. If we do not have the Holy Spirit and we do not
follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit, we cannot walk with Jesus, we
cannot follow Him. We need to obey Him, repent and be baptized, so
that we will be born again of water and of the Spirit of God, but
then we need to be filled with the Holy Spirit. We need the power and
the guidance of the Holy Spirit, because without Jesus we can do
nothing.

The Holy Spirit is the
Spirit of Christ. He is the Comforter and we cannot follow Jesus and
do what is pleasing to Him, if we do not have the Holy Spirit, if we
do not follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Many believe in Jesus
and they think they have salvation but they do not have the Holy
Spirit, neither do they obey the guidance of the Holy Spirit. They
have no relationship with Jesus. Many are preachers and other
believers who go out in the streets and they witness, they preach and
heal the sick in the name of Jesus. They cast out demons, and Jesus
said that many of those will stand before Him and He will say to
them:"Go away I never knew you you workers of wickedness,"
because these people did not follow Jesus. They were not led by the
Holy Spirit, they had no relationship with Jesus. We need to be
filled with the Holy Spirit and follow the guidance of the Holy
Spirit, because the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Christ, and if we do
not have the Spirit of Christ, we do not belong to Him. We cannot
follow Him and we cannot be pleasing to Him.

Jesus promised the Holy
Spirit to each and every one who believes in Him and who obeys Him,
who repents and is baptized in water. The Holy Spirit will remind us
of the commands of Jesus, the words that He spoke, as they are also
recorded in the Gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. You don't need
a Bible to follow Jesus you need, the Holy Spirit, because the Holy
Spirit will be with us forever; but we have to obey Him. Many have
Bibles and they have read the words of Jesus in the Bible, but they
do not obey them. Those who have the Holy Spirit are constantly
reminded, convicted by the Holy Spirit. Te Holy Spirit prompts them
and speaks to them, reveals to them the will of God, reveals to them
whether they are pleasing to Jesus or not, The Holy Spirit guides us
into all truth, tells us about things to come, guides us in all
things.

We cannot follow Jesus
without the Holy Spirit. We need a real relationship with Jesus,
which only can be had, by the indwelling Holy Spirit and us following
the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Have you been born again? Did you
repent were you baptized in water and have you received the
indwelling Holy Spirit of Christ in you? Do you follow and obey Him?
Do you truly know Jesus or will Jesus also say to you go:"Go
away I never knew you, you worker of wickedness," because you
did not do the will of God, because you had no relationship with Him.
We need the Holy Spirit to teach and to guide us. The Spirit of
Christ will guide us into all truth. We cannot follow Jesus by
following after other sheep, other Christians, other followers of
Jesus. We cannot follow Jesus by reading the Bible. We need to be led
by the Holy Spirit to please Him, to get to know Him for real, to
follow Him and to enter His kingdom.

Have you received the Holy
Spirit? Do you follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit and is your
walk, your relationship with Jesus Christ real?

May Jesus bless you.

Procure a REAL RIGHT Relationship with Jesus Christ

Nothing is more important
for a born again child of God than to have a real relationship with
Jesus Christ, to hear His voice and to know where you stand with Him
all the time.

Sadly most professing
Christians, born-again believers, do not have that relationship with
Jesus. They base their faith and their hope of salvation on an
experience that they might have had, when they first prayed the
sinner's prayer, and they experienced the joy of Jesus in their
heart. Others received the baptism in the Holy Spirit and they speak
in tongues and to them that is the guarantee of salvation. Apart from
that they have no relationship with Jesus.

Many base their hope of
salvation on Bible scriptures, or on their church membership, but in
reality they have no relationship with Jesus. Their relationship with
Jesus is not real.

Nobody else can work on
your relationship with Jesus for you. You cannot ask anybody else to
pray to Jesus for you and to hear from Jesus for you, you have to
procure your own relationship with Jesus. You have to seek Jesus with
all your heart until you are sure in your heart of hearts, that you
know His voice. You have to work on that relationship every day until
the very end and make sure that your relationship with Jesus is real,
that it is right, that you hear from Him. You have to be certain
beyond all doubt, in your own heart, that Jesus is pleased with you.
You cannot base your faith or your hope of salvation on anything else
but your relationship with Jesus, but you have to work on it every
day until the very end.

You have to go after Jesus
every day. Seek Him with all your heart, ask Him to speak to you, to
reveal Himself to you. You must go after Jesus all the time and make
sure that you stay with Him. You have to be sure that your
relationship with Jesus is real or else you will be very disappointed
when you stand before Him and He says to you:"Go away I never
knew you." How real is your relationship with Jesus? Do you
truly know Him and do you follow Him.

May Jesus bless you.

Worry about yourself

Some believers are forever correcting others, telling them what they should be doing. we only need to worry about ourselves. Is Jesus Christ pleased with you and me? Are we doing what He wants us to do?

We cannot fix other people, but Jesus can fix all of us if we submit to Him, if we follow Him and stay with Him. I cannot help you, neither can anybody else help you. That is why my advice to you is:"Go to Jesus."

Mind your own walk with Jesus. Get serious with Jesus and He will guide you into all truth. Worry about yourself and do not meddle with other people.

If we follow Jesus and do what He requires of us, then we will bear fruit and bring others to Him as well.

May Jesus bless you.

Work out your own relationship with Jesus Christ

The moment that we die we
are bound to our eternal destination, which will be either heaven or
hell. The only person who will decide whether we go into heaven or
into hell is Jesus Christ, and on that day Jesus Christ will say to
many people"Go away I never knew you." It is our own
responsibility to work out our own relationship with Jesus Christ.

If we want to enter the
kingdom of heaven we have to know Jesus Christ and He has to know us.
Right now we have the opportunity to obey Jesus Christ and to get to
know Him. If we refuse Him and we reject Him, then on that day that
we die, He will say to us:"Go away I never knew you." It
does not matter what you believed. Many people believe in Jesus for
salvation, but they do not obey Him and therefore they do not get to
know Him.

Jesus Christ will say to
them:"Go away I never knew you, you workers of wickedness."
We have to work out our own relationship with Jesus. If we seek Him,
we find Him and then we must obey and follow Him or else he will say
to us:"Go away I never knew you." How is your relationship
with Jesus? Is Jesus Christ real to you? Do you know Him. His sheep
know His voice and they follow Him. Are you one of His sheep? Do you
seek Him and do you obey Him, or do you just believe that you have
salvation because you believe in Jesus Christ?

Do not wait until it is
too late, because the day that you die it will be too late. If Jesus
does not know you, you will not enter His kingdom. Seek Jesus while
you can. Today is the day of salvation. Seek Jesus while He still may
be found, so that you will not be disappointed on that day that you
die.

May Jesus bless you.

A REAL Relationship with Jesus Christ

The world is full of fakes. Not only do we have a fake news and fake churches, fake gospel. We also have fake Christians, people who do not know Jesus Christ. They talk about their relationship with Jesus Christ, but they have no relationship with Jesus. So their relationship is a fake relationship. If you ask them whether they know His voice, and whether they follow Him, they will tell you that He speaks through the Bible.
They have no relationship with Jesus, they do not know Him. They do not serve Him, they do not fear Him. If they knew Him then they would serve Him, with fear, with utter respect. But they are fake Christians, they are not disciples of Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ does not speak through your preacher, neither does He speak through your Bible. He speaks through His Spirit. Those who are being led by the Spirit of God they are the children of God. God speaks by His Spirit; He speaks directly to those who know Him. Jesus said:"My sheep hear My voice, they listen to Me, and follow Me."Those are the ones who have a real relationship with the Living God, with the King of kings and the Lord of lords. They are children of God, they are the ones who are born again, who see the kingdom of God, because they have been born again. They hear the Master's voice, because they know the Master. They listen to Him, they obey Him and follow Him. Their business is to do the will of God, because they have a real relationship with a living God. He speaks to them, He guides them, He teaches them, He gives them understanding. They are not of this world, they are all the kingdom of God, because they follow the Master, they are in a real living relationship with the Living God. They serve their Master, Jesus Christ.
Most preachers do not know the voice of Jesus. I have asked many and they say:"No, He doesn't speak." They just don't know Him. Very few people have a real relationship with Jesus Christ,  with the Living God, and that is what Jesus called us for, that is why He sent His Holy Spirit to be in us, to be with us, to teach us, to guide us, into all truth, to tell us things to come, but very few are interested. Many do not know. Many had bad examples, many have been deceived by religious people, who themselves were lost. Jesus Christ is the only way; without Jesus we can do nothing. Jesus warned that in that day many will say to Him:"Lord,  Lord we prophesied in Your Name, we healed the sick" and He will say to them:"Go away, I never knew you, you workers of wickedness." They never knew Him, they never followed Him. Many have had guidance from the Holy Spirit, but then they have fallen-away, they have gone after people. They are not following Jesus.
Professing Christians go to church, they follow after their pastor. They are not following Jesus Christ, they are in relationship with the pastor, and the church, and in fellowship with other deceived believers, but they have no relationship with the Living God. They are lost. There is only one way, and that is Jesus Christ. He is the way and the truth and the life. Those who follow him are not in darkness. Obey the gospel of Jesus Christ, that which is recorded in the Gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Repent, stop sinning, fall on your knees before Jesus Christ, and plead Him forgiveness of your past sins, with remorse. Turn away from your sins, be baptized in water, and seek Jesus with all your heart. Ask Him to fill you with His Holy Spirit, so that His Spirit will come and live in you, guide you, teach you. You will be in a real relationship with the Living God, but you have to go after Him everyday. Seek Him, follow Him, stay with Him. There's only one way to have life and that is to be in a real relationship with the Living God.
Dear friend, do you have a real relationship with Jesus Christ? Because that is what He wants with us, and from us. He wants to dwell with us and in us. He wants to have fellowship with us, but as long as we ignore Him. As long as we are occupied with other things, we will never have a real relationship with the Living God. Get serious. Seek Jesus with all your heart. Obey His gospel, His words, and He will reveal Himself to you. You will get to know Him for real, and you will have a real relationship with the Living God.
May Jesus bless you.

The ESSENCE of Salvation

The essence of the hope of salvation is our relationship with Jesus Christ. If we do not know Jesus Christ for real and we do not have a real relationship with Him, then we have no hope of eternal life, we have no hope of salvation. It all depends on our daily relationship with Jesus Christ, our walk with Him.
How real is our relationship with Jesus? Our relationship with Jesus Christ only becomes real when we put our faith into action and our faith in Jesus comes into action when we obey His words. Jesus said: "Why do you call me Lord, Lord and you do not what I say." Jesus said:"The one who loves Me is the one who obeys My commands." If we obey the gospel of Jesus Christ, then He will reveal Himself to us, we will know Him for real, but we have to obey His words; we have to obey the gospel of Jesus Christ, the words that He preached, that He personally delivered to this world. The words that Jesus spoke are recorded in the Gospels Matthew Mark, Luke and John. Jesus commands us to repent and to be baptized in water, to obey His commands, and then we will be made new inside, we will be born again of the Spirit of God. That only happens if we obey Him. Jesus Christ promised the Holy Spirit to come and dwell in those who obey Him. They will live in communion with Jesus Christ. They will know Him for real. They will hear His voice and they will follow Him every day.
Very few people who call themselves Christians have that relationship with Jesus Christ. Many Christians keep themselves busy with the Bible; they occupy themselves with end-time prophecy, they run after preachers, they listen to the revelations of men, but it does not bring them closer to Jesus. We need to have a personal revelation of Jesus Christ every day. We need to have a real relationship with Jesus. If your relationship with Jesus is not real you have no hope of salvation, even though you believe that you are saved. The only way that we will know Jesus for real is if we truly believe in Him and therefore obey His words, seek Him with all our heart, and He will reveal Himself to us. We have to maintain that relationship every day until the very end.
How real is our relationship with Jesus Christ? It is a walk, it is a relationship, it is not a philosophy. It is all about whether Jesus Christ knows me and whether I truly know Him, whether I serve Him as Lord and as Master and whether He approves of me; and the only One who can tell me whether He is pleased with me, is Jesus Christ Himself. He can speak. Seek Jesus with all your heart and He will reveal Himself to you. It is to know avail to seek Jesus with other people, to seek Him in the Bible, or in other places. You can only hear about Him from other people, you can only read about Him in the Bible but you need to seek Jesus for yourself. If you go on your knees and you cry out to Him and you seek Him with all your heart. He will reveal Himself to you. Seek Jesus and make sure that your relationship with Him is real; today and every day until the very end. It is a walk it is a relationship. Seek Jesus now.
May Jesus bless you.

Your Relationship with Jesus Christ

If we follow and obey Jesus Christ and do what is pleasing to Him then we have peace in our hearts, and we have CONFIDENCE to go to Him in prayer. When we pray, we know that He hears our prayers and that He answers our prayers.
If we closely follow Jesus Christ and look after our relationship with Him, then we know that
He will never leave us and He will never forsake us. It does not matter what is happening in the world around us, it does not matter what our circumstances are; we can be in the darkest of places, in the most difficult situations, but Jesus is with us and we have CONFIDENCE, we
have peace in our hearts because we know that Jesus Christ is in us, and
nothing can happen to us, that He does not allow, or that He does not
approve of, because Jesus Christ is with us. But if we go away from
Jesus, if we disobey Him, if we live in sin and rebellion, then we do
not have confidence to go to Jesus; we do not have His peace in us, we
live in fear and uncertainty and the Holy Spirit convicts us of our sin,
of our wickedness and we feel that we are always in grave danger, and
anxiety. If our relationship with Jesus Christ is not right then we are
in danger of Hell fire.
There's only one safe place in this whole
world and that is to be close to Jesus. Jesus in you, you in Him and His
peace and His power abiding in you. How is your relationship with Jesus
Christ? Are you in His piece and in His confidence? Are you doing what
is pleasing to Him? Do you follow Jesus Christ every day? Is Jesus
Christ real to you?
May Jesus bless you.
