Get Into Action Start Winning

The moment you decide to follow Jesus you are getting into a fight with the devil, and there is only going to be one winner, you or him. You cannot win a boxing match by staying in your corner or by being on the retreat and defense all the time.

Most Christians are being battered by satan. They are not even trying to fight back. They have given up. Others expect Jesus to protect them and to do the fighting for them.

If you want salvation, you have to overcome You have to overcome satan and you have to overcome your own flesh.  You have to stop sinning and go after Jesus, follow and obey Him, build the kingdom of of God, destroy the kingdom of satan and bring souls to Jesus.

 Many believers cannot even stop sinning. They are defeated by satan before they even start.

Without Jesus you cannot win. Without Jesus you cannot make it, but you have to take action, You have to stay close to Jesus and be led by the Holy Spirit. First you have to defeat the devil.

How do you defeat the devil? James 4:7 "Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 8Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. 9Grieve, mourn, and weep. Turn your laughter to mourning, and your joy to gloom. 10Humble yourselves before the Lord, and He will exalt you."

Are you winning every day? Are you destroying the kingdom of satan, witnessing for Jesus, bringing souls to Him? Or are you cowering in a corner? Are you compromizing with the world and with satan? You do not overcome by being soft on yourself and being friendly with the world, being a compromizer. You cannot party with the world today and preach Jesus tomorrow. James 4:4 "You adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is hostility toward God? Therefore, whoever chooses to be a friend of the world renders himself an enemy of God."

 Stop being double-minded. If Jesus is your Lord, follow Him.

If you follow Jesus He leads you to victory. If you are not winning, you are not following Jesus. Get into action. Submit yourself to Jesus. Stand for righteousness. Stand for truth. Be a warrior, an overcomer, a saint. Fight the good fight every day and start winning. Win every day.

Are you serious about getting into heaven? Get Into Action. Start Winning and keep on winning, until the end. Salvation is for winners only, those who overcome.

May Jesus bless you.

Join the struggle

To follow Jesus Christ and have eternal life in the end, is an uphill struggle that very few people will do. It is only those who endure until the very end that will have the prize of eternal life. You have to follow Jesus Christ step by step because Jesus is the WAY, He shows you the way every day IF you follow Him, but it will not be easy. You will struggle every day.

If you stumble, fall or backslide you will have to get back up and follow Jesus. You have to endure every day. Very few people who even try hard will be able to get to the end of that journey. It is like climbing a mountain, a very high mountain, but you have to keep on climbing every day. Many do not reach the top of that mountain before they die because they have back slidden too many times, too many times they stopped climbing, too many times they stopped following Jesus Christ. We have to endure with Him every day until the very very end. You cannot take time out or else you will not make it to the top of that mountain, you will not have eternal life. You have to stay with Jesus every day. Without Jesus you can do nothing, without Jesus you will not enter the narrow door. They asked Jesus whether those who are BEING SAVED are few and He said:”Strive HARD because many will try and not be able.”

Have you joined that struggle? Are you following Jesus Christ every day? Do you deny yourself? Do you go after Him rather than going after your own desires, ambitions and after your friends.? Do you seek His approval rather than the acceptance of other people and of this world? What is your ambition? Have you joined the struggle? Are you following Jesus Christ? Do you really want eternal life? Then you have to join that struggle and stay in it, every day, endure until the very end or else you will not make it.

Are you following Jesus Christ every day? Are you overcoming? Have you stopped sinning? Are you living in holiness? Do you get right back up if you slip and fall or do you wallow in sin? Have you joined the struggle or have you given up? Do you really want eternal life? Then join the struggle and endure with Jesus until the very end. Very few will make it. Will you and I?

May Jesus bless you.

It is a STRUGGLE LFOE

It is always difficult to follow Jesus Christ. It is a STRUGGLE and you have to apply yourself to it every day. Jesus said you must DENY YOURSELF, PICK UP YOUR CROSS AND FOLLOW HIM. It is a narrow and difficult road. In the eyes of the world it is INSANE but that is the WAY.

The WAY that Jesus takes you, WHERE He guides you, WHAT He tells you to DO is IMPOSSIBLE in the eyes of the world. It is humanly IMPOSSIBLE if you you do not DENY yourself and TRUST in Jesus FULLY. Without Jesus you cannot do it. Without Jesus you will not enter the Kingdom of Heaven. There is no road map to heaven, you cannot walk by a Book and think that you will end up in heaven, you have to go WITH Jesus EVERY STEP of the way or else you will not make it.

It is often DANGEROUS, you will be LONELY, you will be REJECTED, you will be PERSECUTED, you might GET KILLED if you follow Jesus. Don't expect it to be an easy road. It is IMPOSSIBLE without Jesus and that is why so very FEW are willing to follow Jesus Christ. Most people quit, they stop following Jesus. Very few endure until the very end.

The only way that you will enter the Kingdom of Heaven is if you LISTEN to Jesus, FOLLOW Him, OBEY Him and ENDURE until the very end. You need to LFOE, LISTEN, FOLLOW, OBEY and ENDURE every day until the very end. Stay with Jesus, hang on to Him because without Him you will not make it into the Kingdom of Heaven. It is a STRUGGLE.

May Jesus bless you.

Victory AFTER the Struggle

As followers of Jesus Christ and children of God we are daily in a tremendous struggle against evil forces, against the flesh and against principalities in the air that wage war against us. The only way that we can win this struggle and win the prize of eternal life is if we remain IN and WITH Jesus. Without Jesus we cannot do it.

When we are tempted and tested and tried we need to get our guidance from the Holy Spirit and then stand firmly in OBEDIENCE to what Jesus tells us to do. If we give in then we lose, we lose the battle and we are not worthy of the kingdom of God. We have to stand firmly in the name of Jesus and the devil will flee from us. It is not easy, it is impossible on our own but if we STAND in the name of Jesus and we resist the devil we can overcome.

Many people are not willing to resist the devil, to resist temptation and that is why they fall. When temptation comes they go WITH temptation and they go with the devil, they go with the flesh, they do not stay with Jesus. Do you stay WITH Jesus in your temptations or do you leave Jesus and go after the desires of the flesh and the temptations of the world?

Only those who stand firmly in the name of the Lord and resist the devil, only they will overcome IF they endure until the very end. Stand FIRM in the name of the Lord.

May Jesus bless you.

The Kingdom of God

The kingdom of God is about Jesus Christ about following HIM and about DOING HIS WILL. It is not about YOU or ME about our joy, our fun or our pleasure. It is about OBEDIENCE TO JESUS.

Jesus said that:”Whoever WISHES to come after Me must deny himself, pick up his cross every day and come here FOLLOW Me.” The kingdom of God is a STRUGGLE it is a TEST and it is only those who endure until the end that will win the prize of eternal life. The kingdom of God is promised to those who ENDURE UNTIL THE VERY END. They will not be many. Jesus called them “little flock.”

Are you part of the LITTLE FLOCK, the VERY FEW that will follow Jesus and endure until the very end.

May Jesus bless you.

GO ALL THE WAY

Many people eagerly start out following Jesus Christ but very few are willing to go all the way and endure until the end. Jesus' disciples were also often tempted to leave Him. We read in John 6 when Jesus said to them:”If you do not eat My body and drink My blood” most of them wanted to leave Him. And Jesus said to the twelve:”Don't you also want to leave Me?” Peter said:”Lord, where will we go to? You have the words of eternal life.”
Even Peter himself swore, He said:”Lord I will go with You all the way, even until death, I will die for You” but he denied Jesus three times. When Jesus was led away to be crucified all His disciples deserted Him. He was all by Himself, all alone, they had all left Him. It was only afterwards, after they had received the Holy Spirit that most of them went on to die for Him.
If we do not go WITH Jesus and follow Him ALL THE WAY until the end, then it is all in vain. Jesus said:”Whoever puts his hand to the plow and looks back is not worthy of Me, is not worthy of the kingdom of God.” Many people are only willing to go with Jesus up to a point, for a short while. When they have to choose between Jesus and friends, popularity and acceptance of men, they choose their friends, they deny Jesus. When they have to choose to obey Jesus they stop following Him. When they have to choose to be baptized in water, they refuse! When they have to choose between friends, their wife, their husband, their children, their job and Jesus then they deny Jesus. They turn away from Him. They go after the things of the world. They rather go for the pleasures of the world than to obey Jesus Christ. They rather go for Bible study and church activities than to LISTEN to Jesus, PRAY, GO where He sends them, DO what He tells them to do. They are not willing to follow Jesus ALL THE WAY.
Many believers are UNFRUITFUL. We can only be fruitful if we remain IN Christ, if we are LED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT and if we DO what Jesus himself tells us to do.
Very few are willing to go all the way, to LISTEN and to OBEY until the end. If we are not willing to go WITH Jesus ALL THE WAY until the end then we are not worthy of Him and everything that we have done, everything that we have given up, up to that point, is a waste, its all in vain! If we don't go all the way we will not enter the kingdom of heaven, we will not have eternal life.
Are you willing to go all the way and to endure until the very end, even until death? If you are not willing to endure you won't make it!

May Jesus bless you

Join the struggle

To follow Jesus Christ is a struggle every day and if you do follow Jesus you WILL feel the pain. Jesus said that we must deny ourselves, pick up our cross and follow Him every day. He also warned his disciples that they will be hated by all men. If you follow Jesus Christ this world will hate you and reject you.
Jesus said that we must take His yoke on us because his burden is light and His commandments are easy. That is when you FOLLOW Jesus and STAY with Him, then He will help you to overcome. He will help you to bear the load, but you will be tried, you will be tested and only those who endure until the end will have the prize of eternal life.
If you follow Jesus you have to sacrifice yourself unto the Lord. Therefor Paul writes in Romans 12:1 He says:“I beseech you brethren that you present your bodies as a living and a holy sacrifice, acceptable unto the Lord. That is your reasonable service.” That is what the Lord requires of us if we want eternal life. We need to sacrifice ourselves and present ourselves unto the Lord for HIS purpose to do HIS will. Only those who STAY with Jesus until the end and who overcome evil, themselves, the flesh and who OBEY Jesus Christ, only they will have the prize of eternal life.
It is a struggle until the very end. You have to overcome to win the prize. Stay focused on Jesus or else you will not be able to make it.

May Jesus bless you.
