Victory through Trials and Tribulation You must WIN to have the PRIZE

Jesus leads you to victory, if you follow Him. If you follow Jesus you will have many battles, trials and tribulations

We must go into the kingdom of heaven through much tribulation. The way of the disciple, the true follower of Jesus is a life of battles, trials, tribulations but also of victory. We are called to overcome, sin, satan and the flesh.

I read the words of the apostle Paul in Romans 8:28-37.

" 28And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. 29For those whom He foreknew, He also predestined to become conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the firstborn among many brethren; 30and these whom He predestined, He also called; and these whom He called, He also justified; and these whom He justified, He also glorified.

 31What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who is against us? 32He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him over for us all, how will He not also with Him freely give us all things? 33Who will bring a charge against God’s elect? God is the one who justifies; 34who is the one who condemns? Christ Jesus is He who died, yes, rather who was raised, who is at the right hand of God, who also intercedes for us. 35Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

36Just as it is written,

            “FOR YOUR SAKE WE ARE BEING PUT TO DEATH ALL DAY LONG;

            WE WERE CONSIDERED AS SHEEP TO BE SLAUGHTERED.”

37But in all these things we OVERWHELMINGLY CONQUER through Him who loved us. 38For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, 39nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord."

Are you suffering temptation, tribulation, distress, difficulty, pain, rejection, persecution for following Jesus? Are you overcoming? If you stay in Jesus you will overcome.

If you are not haveing tribulation, you are not following Jesus. we read in Acts 14:22 "strengthening the souls of the disciples, encouraging them to continue in the faith, and saying, "Through many tribulations we must enter the kingdom of God."

 There will be no crown for those who did not bear their cross. There will be no prize for those who did not run the race and won. Are you making progress in your journey into the kingdom of God. Are you enduring tribulation with Jesus, and overcoming?  Are you a victor or a loser?



May Jesus bless you.

Called To Overcome No Rapture Escape

Many believers have been sold on the false rapture gospel. They believe that before the great tribulation comes on the earth, Jesus will take them to heaven so that they can escape tribulation and have a good time in heaven. Further these people believe that they only need to believe in Jesus for salvation and for this privilege of the rapture.

They are deceived.

Jesus never promised to snatch us away before trouble comes. He said He will be with us in trouble. He said that those who endure and stay with Him until the end, through tribulation, they will be saved.

These believers are cowards. They are losers. Most of them can not stop sinning. They don't want to. They want to live their lives for their own pleasure, escape tribulation and enter heaven because they believe in Jesus. That is a false belief, a false gospel.

Jesus does not call us to defeat and escapism. He calls us to action and to victory. He sets us free from the bondage of sin and He calls us to follow Him, to conquer our own flesh, to conquer sin, to conquer satan. He calls us to stand for righteousness and be His witnesses, to work for His kingdom and bring many souls to repentance and obedience to Him, so that they can overcome and be saved from hell.

Heaven is a place for overcomers, not for losers. We read repeatedly in Revelation about the rewards of those who overcove: "To him who overcomes, I will grant to eat of the tree of life which is in the Paradise of God.’Rev. 2:7

"He who overcomes will not be hurt by the second death."Rev.2:11

" To him who overcomes, to him I will give some of the hidden manna, and I will give him a white stone, and a new name written on the stone which no one knows but he who receives it."Rev.2:17

"He who overcomes, and he who keeps My deeds until the end, TO HIM I WILL GIVE AUTHORITY OVER THE NATIONS; 27AND HE SHALL RULE THEM WITH A ROD OF IRON, AS THE VESSELS OF THE POTTER ARE BROKEN TO PIECES, as I also have received authority from My Father; 28and I will give him the morning star."Rev2:26-28.

‘He who overcomes will thus be clothed in white garments; and I will not erase his name from the book of life, and I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels."Rev.3:5

"He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of My God, and he will not go out from it anymore; and I will write on him the name of My God, and the name of the city of My God, the new Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from My God, and My new name." Rev.3:12.

 21‘He who overcomes, I will grant to him to sit down with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne. 22‘He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.’”Reve.3:21.

Those who do not follow and endure with Jesus until the end, will not enter His kingdom. Cowards, losers, sinners  and escapists will not enter heaven.

The only way to overcome is to follow Jesus closely and stay with Him until the end. Are we following Jesus, conquering and overcoming? Will we endure with Him until the end?

May Jesus bless you.

Where He leads me I will follow

Since Jesus Christ called
me I have been following Him, I have been going where He sent me, and
doing what He told me to do. I have abandoned my own life, my own
plans, my own country, my own family, my own business, and I went
where Jesus sent me, for many years. My wife and I have been
following Jesus and we've been testifying for Him.

For the last year I have
been very ill, and I've prayed Jesus to heal me, which He did not do.
In that time I never went away from Jesus, I stayed with Him and
every day I did what he told me to do He gave me messages to put on
YouTube, He sent me to do things for Him which I've been doing, but I
never went away from Jesus. Eventually the sickness got so severe
that I ended up in hospital. I was diagnosed with rectal cancer and I
had to undergo an ileostomy. I am due for treatment for that cancer.
I have received a lot of advice from fellow believers on cures for
cancer. I have also been reprimanded, I've been judged by some who
told me that I'm being judged by God and that is why I'm sick. Dear
friends in all of this time I've never gone away from Jesus. I'm
still following Jesus. I belong to Him and I'm His property. He can
use me as He pleases, for his glory. I have to stay with Him and
follow Him until the very end.

There's an old song that
says:"Where He leads me I will follow," and that is my
decision, that is my ambition to go with Jesus and to follow Him, to
do His will. Jesus never promised us a good life. He did not promise
us good health or prosperity. He did say He will always be with us,
He will never leave us and He will never forsake us. He will be with
us in tribulation, and those who endure with Him until the very end,
they will inherit the prize of eternal life. What is important, is
for us to stay with Jesus, to submit ourselves to Him and allow Him
to use us as He pleases. We ought to be broken bread and crushed
grapes. Bread needs to be broken before it can be eaten. Grapes need
to be pressed out before wine can be made of it. We need to be usable
pliable, moldable, for the kingdom of God. The clay needs to be
moldable for the Potter to mold it into something that is useful to
Him. If that clay is lumpy, then the Potter will throw at one side
and use another lump of clay to make the part that He wants to make.

We are not here for
anything else but for the kingdom of God. Jesus called me to follow
Him until the very end and where He leads me, I will follow. What He
does with me is his own good pleasure, but it is my desire that I
will bring glory to Jesus until the very end. It is my desire that He
will be pleased with me. It is my desire to endure until the very
end, and I want to hang on to Jesus until the end. I want to bear
fruit for His kingdom because if we do not bear fruit then we cannot
be pleasing to Him. If we do not remain in Him and with Him, we
cannot be fruit. If we run after our own devices and our own plans
and own remedies, we cannot be pleasing to Jesus. We need to follow
Him and go along the path that He leads and guides us because that
is the path to eternal life.

The path that Jesus guides
us is never easy but it is the path to victory. There is only victory
in Jesus if we follow Him and stay with Him until the very end. We
only overcome if we stay with Jesus, through tribulation, through
trials, if we bear our cross and follow Him until the very end. and
to follow Him, where He guides me, until the very end.

May Jesus bless you.

Tribulation and Judgment

Jesus Christ promised His followers one thing in this world; you will have much tribulation. If you follow Jesus Christ you will suffer tribulation from the moment that you make your decision to follow Jesus, and you pick up your cross and follow Him. From their very day that you accept Jesus and start following Him, you will suffer tribulation you will suffer tribulation at the hand of the false Christians, and you will suffer discipline and correction from the hand of God because He prunes every branch that bears fruit. He corrects every child that He loves. He disciplines every child that he accept.
Those who do not suffer tribulation are not following Jesus Christ. Those you are not being corrected and disciplined my God they are not of Him. Very few except correction. Most believers turn back to the ways of the world. They love the prosperity preachers who are all liars, the false prophets that prophesy good times; physical and financial blessings. When you follow Jesus Christ you will suffer pain, you will suffer a rejection, you will have to give up, sacrifice. He will not force it on you. He will ask it from you and if you are not willing to give up everything He asks of you, you are not worthy of Him. If you do not submit to Him and allow Him to form and make you, to use you as He pleases, for His purpose and for His kingdom, then you are not worthy of Him and you are not suitable for His kingdom because you will not bear fruit if you do not remain in Christ. If you cannot even give up the lust of your flesh, the pleasures of the world, your own ambitions, your selfishness and your sins, your TV, your pride, your selfishness, you cannot follow Jesus Christ.
Most professing Christians do not know Jesus. They are not following Him. The churches of this world are the false Church, the broad road to destruction. They are having a good time now. They await God's judgment because if we do not suffer correction, and tribulation, discipline at the hand of God, then we will not learn to be pleasing to Him; we will not be molded and made into His image. Jesus Christ Himself although he was a son, learned through what He suffered. If you follow Jesus you will suffer all the time, all the way, until the very end. To follow Jesus Christ is a road of suffering. We must enter into the kingdom of God through much tribulation.
Most professing believers are having a good time. They are not of Jesus but they will be judged by God. God will judge His people, He will judge everyone who calls himself by the name of Jesus. If you call yourself a Christian, if you call on the name of Jesus, if you associate with Jesus He will punish you, will correct you, and if you refuse that correction, He will cut you off, you will end up in hell. You have no security of salvation. Jesus said that those who endure until the end will be saved. There is no easy way into the kingdom of heaven. It is a road of tribulation, of suffering, Those who endure until the end will win the prize of eternal life. Those who quit, those who deny Jesus, those who seek worldly pleasures and go back to their vomit, to their own desires, the things of the world, will get cut off and will come under the judgment of God.  God will judge his people and only those who are worthy, will enter His kingdom. Only those who endure with Jesus, those who suffer correction, tribulation, and stay with Jesus until the end, they will enter into His kingdom. If you are not suffering tribulation you are not following Jesus Christ, you are on the broad road to destruction.
If you want eternal life you have to go after Jesus, and you will suffer rejection, you will suffer tribulation, until the very end, if you stay with Jesus.
May Jesus bless you.

The POWER In You

In this world we will have tribulation, trials and temptation, but it is only those that overcome, that will have the prize of eternal life.
Jesus Christ gives you the power to overcome. If he lives in you, if His Spirit is in you, it is the Holy Spirit the Power that keeps you alive and that gives you the power to overcome, but you have to fight, you have to resist the devil, you have to face trials and temptations, and you have to overcome in the Name of the Lord. But if the Lord Jesus, His Holy Spirit, is not in you, then you cannot fight in His Name. Then you do not have the power to overcome. If you have not submitted your life to Jesus, if you do not yield to Him, if His spirit does not dwell in yo, then you will not have power to overcome. If you are living in sin and disobedience to Jesus, then you will not have the power to overcome.
You need to be led by the Spirit of God not by your own lusts, not by temptations, not by the things of the world, you have to be led by the Spirit of God, to walk in the power of God. Do we have the power of God in us? Do we have that Holy Spirit power in us?
Are we fighting in the power of the Spirit? Or are we being defeated in our own power? That is why many believers cannot
overcome, they do not have the Spirit of Christ in them. They do not have the power to overcome. Do we have that Holy Spirit power in us? Are we overcoming? Are we overcoming and are we
living and walking in victory every day, because we have the power the Spirit of Christ in us?
May Jesus bless you.

Rapture woes and disappointments

Many churches and ministries are built and sustained around rapture teachings and theories. They make predictions about

the rapture, the second coming of Jesus Christ and the taking away of the faithful believers to escape the wrath of God that will come on the world. Their predictions about the rapture fail and then many people are disillusioned and severely disappointed that they were not taken away, they were not raptured. Their

expectation was for and escape from it all, from this world, from coming tribulation.

The sad truth is that these people do not know Jesus Christ and they do not understand the gospel of Jesus Christ. The gospel of Jesus Christ is about to the kingdom of God right here and now, serving Jesus Christ in spirit and in truth and enduring with Him until the very end. He did not promise us an escape. He commands us to be faithful to Him and to endure with Him through

tribulation until the very end. He commands us to flee worldly lusts, to be righteous and holy and to be led by the Holy Spirit in order to do His will, to bear fruit and serve His purpose; to build the kingdom of God here on earth, to bring others to

repentance and to knowledge of Jesus Christ, to bring them into relationship, into communion with Him so that they can know Him and serve Him. Many people are extremely disillusioned and disappointed because they were hoping for an escape and most of these are living like the rest of the world, they are in sin,  in fornication, they are conformed to the world that are part of the world, but they believe that they will be raptured, taken away from the calamity that is coming, just because they believe in Jesus Christ and they confess His Name.  Jesus Christ will say to most of those people, "go away I never knew you, you workers of wickedness."

It is time to wake up to seek the truth, to seek Jesus Christ, to obey Him, repent be baptized in water and seek the baptism in the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Christ dwelling in you so that you can be led by the Holy Spirit and know Jesus Christ by revelation, to become part of His kingdom. Jesus is not promising us a sudden escape. He has put us here for a purpose,

for His purpose for His kingdom to do the work that He has prepared for us to do, to serve Him in His kingdom right

here and now.

Do you know Jesus Christ, the King of kings and the Lord of lords? ave you received the Holy Spirit and are you led by the Holy Spirit? Do you know the Shepherd's voice, do you follow and

obey Him, are you one of His sheep? Or have you also been deceived and disillusion by wicked operators that promise you an escape from tribulation? There is only one way and that is to know follow and obey Jesus Christ and to serve Him until the very end. Only those who endure with Him until the very end, His faithful disciples, they will enter into His rest.

May Jesus bless you.

Nothing can touch you

When you accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Master then you come under His protection and nothing can touch you that He does not allow. But when you accept Jesus as your King, your Lord and your Master you also present yourself to Him as a holy and acceptable sacrifice to His Kingdom, to be used for His pleasure as He pleases.

Jesus does not promise us an easy road or a bed of roses. We will enter the Kingdom of God through much tribulation but whatever path He takes us, whatever tribulation, trial and test we have to go through, He will go with us and we must complete the course. We must follow Him until the end so that we can bring glory and honor and praises to Him. We belong TO HIM, for Him to be used for His Kingdom as He pleases. Whatever comes your way, whether it be hardship, tribulation, sickness, bad fortune, whatever happens, when you belong to Jesus only that which He allows can come to you. But we must stay WITH Jesus.

Many people go away from Jesus, they stray, they go look for trouble and whatever happens to them then is of their own making. They strayed from Him and therefor they removed themselves from His protection and they ran into trouble. We have to STAY with Jesus and thank Him, praise Him in all circumstances. If we did stray we have to come back to Him as soon as we can. Whatever happens to us we must run to Jesus and ask Him why the situation has occurred, why this problem has occurred and He will give us wisdom.

We will see the hand of God in everything if we stay focused on Jesus. Those who are pure in heart, they will see God in everything. Nothing that is outside of the will of God can happen to the child of God who stays WITH Jesus Christ. Are you staying WITH Jesus?

May Jesus bless you.

Share your EXPERIENCE

You can take my possessions away from me, you can take my life, but there is one thing that you cannot take and that is my experience, my experience with Jesus Christ, my testimony, my relationship with Jesus. And that is what I am here to share. Many believers only have their Bible knowledge and their beliefs to share but they don't have a relationship with Jesus Christ because Jesus is not real to them.

Jesus Christ revealed Himself to me, He called me. He made me His servant and I thank Him that I was willing to give up all to follow Him and that is why I have a testimony of the IMPOSSIBLE. Jesus guides you along the IMPOSSIBLE WAYS. You are blessed with trials and tribulations and IMPOSSIBLE DIFFICULTIES but through everything Jesus guides you and you look back and you say that it is only because of Jesus, it is only because you followed Him that you could pass that road, that you could go through what you went through.

Jesus does not take you along POSSIBLE and that is why, if you do not follow Jesus you don't have a testimony. But I can look back and testify to you, Jesus Christ is ALIVE. He is God Almighty because I know Him and He guides me every day. Without Jesus I can do nothing. Without Jesus I cannot live and that is why I share my testimony. I share Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is ALIVE!

Do you know Jesus Christ? What is your experience? Can you only tell me Bible verses or tell me that you BELIEVE that you are saved? Or do you KNOW Jesus Christ? Do you know Him for REAL and do you have a REAL RELATIONSHIP with the Living God? Do you KNOW in your HEART OF HEARTS that nothing can separate you from Jesus because Jesus is faithful and He is ALIVE? How well do you KNOW Jesus Christ? What is YOUR testimony?

May Jesus bless you.
