FULL TIME JESUS


Jesus gives eternal life
to those who receive Him, obey Him and follow Him until the end. The
89unbelievers follow their own desires, ambitions and lusts. If we
wish to have eternal life, we have to abandon our own mind and fully
submit to Jesus. We need to receive and obey the mind of Christ.
How will we receive the
mind of Christ? We need to be born again. How is a person born again?
By receiving Jesus. Accept Him to be your Lord and Master and invite
Him into your life, give your life to Him to live in obedience to
Him. The transformation takes place in your mind when you go on your
knees before Jesus in prayer, submit yourself to Him and commit to
follow and obey Him for the rest of your life.
The kingdom of God is not
words, but action. If you receive Jesus into your life you have to
take action and obey His commandments, His words as recorded in
Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Repent, turn away from sin and from
your own selfish desires. If you have received Jesus into your heart,
you will immediately be convicted of all sin because Jesus writes His
laws in your heart. Immediately stop doing those things, get rid of
the things that cause you to sin, abandon them. Be baptized in water
as Jesus commanded. Jesus promised to come and live in you, to give
of His Spirit in you if you CLEANSE YOURSELF.
Having repented of sin and
having your body washed of uncleanliness through baptism, you are
ready to receive the Holy Spirit so that Jesus can dwell in you. The
Holy Spirit does not dwell in an unholy vessel. One thing you have to
understand beforehand: YOU CANNOT FOLLOW JESUS PART TIME. You have to
be TOTALLY COMMITTED, DEDICATED and DEVOTED. You have to ABSOLUTELY
obey Him, or else you cannot be part of His kingdom. Straight is the
gate, NARROW is the way and few there be that find it.
You need the Holy Spirit
dwelling in you. You need to LISTEN, FOLLOW and OBEY Him, totally
FULL TIME.
Seek the Holy Spirit
baptism, as it was given on the day of Pentecost. You will speak in
tongues when the Holy Spirit comes on you. You will be able to speak
in tongues and pray in tongues at any time, if you have received the
Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit will pray through you according to the
will of God, when you pray in tongues, as we read in Romans 8:
26
“
In
the same way the Spirit also helps our weakness; for we do not know
how to pray as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes
for 
us with
groanings too deep for words; 
27and
He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is,
because He intercedes for the saints according to 
the
will of
 God.”
You
need the Holy Spirit. Without the Holy Spirit we cannot know nor do
the will of God. We cannot even pray according to the will of God. We
need to be led by the Holy Spirit in all things. We need to seek and
follow His guidance to be fruitful for the kingdom of God. “For
all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.”
Romans 8:14.
The
Holy Spirit filled believer receives guidance through PRAYER,
constantly praying in the Spirit day and night, FULL TIME. You can be
praying in the Spirit at all times during the day, even if your mind
is occupied with your daily tasks because:”

14For
if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my mind is unfruitful.”
1 Corinthians 14:14.
The
Holy Spirit will guide you in all things, work, marriage,
relationships, where to live, what to do, and He will warn you when
you go wrong. “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; therefore I said that He takes
of Mine and will disclose 
it to
you.” John 16:13-15.
We have to follow Jesus
FULL TIME, until the end, and not allow ourselves to be distracted.
Jesus said:”

27“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. No one can snatch
us out of His hand, but we have to STAY in His hand, STAY with Him
and not stray from Him. David, man of God, wrote Psalm 23:
“1The
LORD is my shepherd,
            I
shall not want.
      2He
makes me lie down in green pastures;
            He
leads me beside quiet waters.
      3He
restores my soul;
            He
guides me in the paths of righteousness
            For
His name’s sake.
      4Even
though I walk through the valley of the shadow of
death,
            I
fear no evil, for You are with me;
            Your
rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
      5You
prepare a table before me in the presence of my
enemies;
            You
have anointed my head with oil;
            My
cup overflows.
      6Surely
goodness and lovingkindness will follow me all the days of my
life,
            And
I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.”
This is the situation of
the Lord’s sheep, those who are filled with the Holy Spirit, who
listen to His voice and follow Him. However, many profess to be
Christians, but they do not HEAR nor LISTEN to His voice, neither do
they follow Him. THEY ARE NOT HIS SHEEP!
Are we His sheep? Do we
know Jesus? Does He know us? Do we LISTEN to Him, FOLLOW and OBEY Him
FULL TIME? Is Jesus our life or we are just foolishly practicing
religion?
May Jesus bless you.

It's Time to get to KNOW Jesus


Most Christian believers do not seem to know it but you need to know
Jesus, and He needs to know you or else you will not get into heaven.
Believing in Jesus and knowing about Him is not enough. Jesus warned
those who saw Him and heard Him speaking, many who followed Him
around and believed in Him. He said
:” 21“Not
everyone who 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.says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will
enter
Jesus
was not speaking to unbelievers. He was speaking to people who
prophesied in His name, who cast out demons and who performed
miracles. Many believers today, preachers, evangelists, so called men
of God, do not know Jesus, they are sinners, they practice
lawlessness.
We
only get to know Jesus when we obey His commands, repent and are
baptized, sin no more and live holy. To those who obey Jesus, He
discloses Himself, they get to know Him and He knows them. 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
said:”“My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow
Me;”John 10:27.
Most
professing Christians have no interest in Jesus. They have no desire
to know Him. Nobody told them that they have to know Jesus and He has
to know them. He has to be pleased with them or else they will not
enter His kingdom.
It is
time to get to know Jesus, to know His voice and to follow Him. Dear
friend, are you one of His sheep? Do you hear His voice and follow
Him? Do you know Jesus and does He know you?
May
Jesus bless you.

No Time for Celebration



Many Christian believers think they are saved because they believe in Jesus. They think they can sit back and have a party in church, have doughnuts and coffee, while they wait for the rapture and snarl "unbelievers," that are not "saved" or not members of their church, those who do not go to church.

Jesus never called us to a party. He never called us to "church."  He calls us to follow Him and work for His kingdom. There is a race to be run. There is a fight to be fought, there are battles to be won.

Jesus has not done it all for you. You need to gird your loins and get into the fight. Get up, get into action, deny yourself, pick up your cross and follow Jesus, every day. Repent and be holy. Be baptized in water as Jesus commanded. Put on Jesus, be filled with His Holy Spirit and follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Bear good fruit, multiply, be a disciple of Jesus Christ and make disciples.

If you don't bear fruit, you will get cut off and burned. You will not enter heaven.

There will be a celebration in heaven for those who followed Jesus, won the race, the battles, overcame, made disciples for Jesus and endured with Him until the end.

Do not sit back and become complacent. There is no time for celebration now. You first have to win the prize of eternal life by following Jesus and enduring with Him, until the end.

May Jesus bless you.

Bible Study - Waste of Time?



The Bible is a wonderful
set of scriptures. It leads us to salvation, eternal life, through
obedience to Jesus Christ, IF we do what the Bible tells us to do.
But many people just study the Bible, and they think that by studying
the Bible they will have eternal life. If we do not intend doing what
the Bible tells us to do, then Bible study is a waste of time.
This is what Jesus said to
the Pharisees, the Bible students of the time. He said:"You
diligently searched the scriptures, in there to find eternal life,
but you refuse to come to me to have life." Eternal life is
through faith and obedience to Jesus Christ, the gospel of Jesus
Christ His words as recorded in Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. If we
do not follow and obey Jesus Christ, then we will not have salvation.
You can believe in Jesus for salvation, but if you do not obey Him,
you will perish. Many believers think that studying the Bible and
quoting Bible verses can assure them salvation. Salvation is in the
Person, Jesus Christ, knowing and following Him. If you are not
studying the Bible to learn the words of Jesus so that you can know
His ways and His commandments, and obey Him, then you're wasting your
time, because it is only through our relationship and obedience to
Jesus Christ that we will have eternal life. Jesus said that if we
obey His commands, His words, He will reveal Himself to us. We will
get to know Him for real. He will give His Spirit in us to teach and
guide us. We will become born again, we will be His sheep, who hear
His voice and who follow Him. We will not seek to know the Scriptures
better, we will seek to hear from Jesus. His sheep hear His voice and
they follow Him. You can study the Bible all you wish, it will not
bring you salvation. You need to know Jesus and follow and obey Him,
stay with Him until the very end, or else He will say to you: "Go
away, I never knew you. Do you know Jesus Christ or do you just know
the Bible?
May Jesus bless you.

It Is Time to Grow Up







Most professing Christians
never grow up to maturity, they never become disciples, followers of
Jesus Christ. They are spiritual babies and they remain babies until
they either die or they fail. They fall away because they never grew
into men, mature followers of Jesus Christ. Even those who are born
again very seldom become grown mature children of God. Most of then
stay with the first principles of repentance, deliverance ,and
learning the first principles of the faith. Many of them and never
get past those first principles. Many of them never repent, others
are never baptized in water, and most of them are never baptized in
the Holy Spirit, so very few of them ever come to the point where
they follow the voice of Jesus Christ, and they become mature
disciples of Jesus.
If we do not grow to
maturity in Christ and become followers of Jesus, who are led by the
Holy Spirit, not by every whiff or every wind of teaching and
learning, running after people; if we do not get to the point where
we walk with Jesus in confidence in Him, trusting Him, being faithful
to Him, doing His will, then we will not survive dear friends. It is
time to grow up in our walk with Jesus, not just to be believers who
fool ourselves. Many only know Bible verses, they are religious, and
they repeat the same teachings over and over again, they run after
the teachings of other people they run after the prophecies of other
people, but they themselves have no relationship with Jesus. They are
spiritual babes, and when the trials of life come they fall over they
fall away, they backslide, they fail, they never become men in
Christ. Iit's time to grow up dear friend, or else you will not make
it into the kingdom of heaven.
We have to grow up and
become fully fledged children of God, born again men and women of
God, who follow Jesus Christ every day, listen to His voice, who are
not deterred by every new teaching or every new revelation from
somebody. If you know Jesus Christ you're not deterred by anything.
You listen to Him and you follow Him. Those who are being led by the
Spirit of God they are the sons of God, they are disciples of Jesus
Christ, they are the Warriors of God, who do the will of God.
It's time to grow up, it's
time to get serious with Jesus, and to start walking with Him or else
you will perish on the road. Only those who endure with Jesus until
the very end, only they will win the prize of eternal life; only they
will enter the kingdom of heaven. Are you a spiritual babe or have
you grown to maturity? Are you following the Master? It is time to
grow up.
May Jesus bless you.

Don't waste your time with Jesus if you are not SERIOUS



If you are not DEAD SERIOUS about following Jesus Christ then you should not start following Him. Jesus said that we must COUNT THE COST before we decide to follow Him. It will cost you EVERYTHING if you follow Jesus. Jesus said that if we WISH to come after Him we must DENY ourselves, pick up our cross and follow Him EVERY DAY.

If you follow Jesus Christ you will have to GIVE UP EVERYTHING. You WILL be rejected, you will be HATED, you will have to SACRIFICE, you might have to sacrifice your life to follow Jesus Christ. You will have to OBEY Him and live your life to please HIM, not yourself. You will have to give your UTMOST for Him because He gave His life for us.

If we are not willing to willing to FOLLOW and OBEY Him we are not worthy of Him. Jesus expects our UTMOST BEST. We cannot give Him the scraps or what is left over. Don't think that you can just fall on your knees before you go to bed and say a quick prayer. It is not acceptable to Him.  He does not want your scraps.

Do not give Jesus a LAME OFFERING. In the times of Moses when people had to bring an offering to the temple some of them took their lame sheep, or their sick animals - that is a lame offering. If you give to Jesus you have to give your BEST not your scraps. He wants the BEST of your TIME, the best of everything because He is WORTHY. He wants UTTER OBEDIENCE. It will cost you EVERYTHING  to follow Jesus Christ.

Many churches make it EASIER THAN IT IS. They say you must just BELIEVE IN JESUS,  that is a lie. Go and read the words of Jesus in the gospels and COUNT THE COST. Are you WILLING to give up everything to follow Jesus?



If you are not DEAD SERIOUS, He will not answer your prayers. Many people want to hear from Jesus but they are not willing to pray, they are not willing to WAIT ON HIM. They are not willing to LABOR in prayer, to WRESTLE with God in prayer. They will get NOTHING. If you are not willing to put EVERYTHING into your relationship with Jesus Christ you are WASTING YOUR TIME. He is WORTHY of our UTMOST and He will accept nothing but the BEST.

If you do not offer Him EVERYTHING and your very BEST it is not good enough and He will reject it, He will reject YOU. We have to give Him our UTMOST, EVERYTHING that we have, we have to offer Him or else we are not worthy of Him.

If you are not willing to give up everything for Jesus Christ, you are wasting your time, you WILL NOT enter the kingdom of Heaven. If you are not that serious then you cannot be His disciple and you are not worthy of Him. Follow Jesus with ALL your power or just don't bother because you are wasting your time.

May Jesus bless you.

It is TIME TO CHOOSE



There are many people who once knew Jesus Christ, who once followed Him. There are many who confess to be Christians but they are not following Jesus. some did follow Jesus at one time but they went astray. The got involved with the wrong friends, started doing the wrong things, became conformed to the world. They will have to CHOOSE between Jesus and their friends, their job, their associates, the world. It is time that the judgment of God will start with the children of God, those who once accepted Him and served Him but who went astray. God will judge them because they know the truth.

Many read the Bible but they are living in fornication and adultery. The will have to choose, holiness and obedience to Jesus or to go with the world and enjoy the pleasures of sin. Judgment is starting and it is starting in the house of God, not in your church, but with those who once accepted Jesus, with those who confess to be His children. God will judge His people, He will discipline His children severely and those who do not repent will perish.

It is time to CHOOSE!

May Jesus bless you.

Useless Fruitless Accumilation of Knowledge


The world has been brainwashed into accumulating fruitless knowledge that is never applied by those who accumulate the knowledge. People think that if they have education or qualifications that, that is the avenue to future prosperity and a good life.
That is a lie! The only ONE who gives LIFE, both here and in eternity is Jesus Christ, not the accumulation of KNOWLEDGE, be it secular knowledge or Bible knowledge. It is KNOWING Jesus, OBEYING and FOLLOWING Him that will give you EVERYTHING THAT YOU NEED for LIFE both now and for eternity.
Jesus said:”Seek FIRST the kingdom of God and his righteousness and all the other things will be added unto you.” If you OBEY and FOLLOW Jesus Christ, REPENT of your futile senseless lifestyle and turn from sin, turn from following your own mind and from being brainwashed by other people and you OBEY Jesus; REPENT, BE BAPTIZED IN WATER, SEEK Him for the Holy Spirit then He Himself by His SPIRIT will GUIDE you and will TEACH you TRUE KNOWLEDGE, will guide you and will give you REAL LIFE.
If you want LIFE all you need is Jesus. Jesus IS the way the life and the truth. SEEK Him, FOLLOW Him, TRUST Him and OBEY Him and you will have life, reject Him and seek knowledge and you will perish with your knowledge.

May Jesus bless you.
