COMPLETE UTTER TRUST IN JESUS


We have to follow Jesus until the end
to have Eternal Life. Jesus said. “He who endures until the end
will be saved. The prize of eternal life is for overcomers who stayed
with Jesus and obeyed Him, and who endured with Him until the end.
The road of discipleship is the road
less travelled. It is a lonely road but it is the only road that
leads to Life. “And
someone said to Him, “Lord, are there 
just a
few who are being saved?” And He said to them, 
24“Strive
to enter through the narrow door; for many, I tell you, will seek to
enter and will not be able.” Luke 13:23,24. Few find it because few
follow Jesus.
Most
Christian Believers follow dead religious practices. They do not know
nor follow Jesus. To follow Jesus requires knowing Jesus, knowing His
voice, listening, in complete TRUST and obedience in all
circumstances. We have to stay with Jesus every step of the way, all
the way, until the end.
This
is not the message preached in churches, because they are not leading
people to Jesus. and to Life, but to damnation.
The
kingdom of God is for WINNERS, OVERCOMERS, CHAMPIONS, those who have
resisted temptation, overcome sin, overcome their own flesh, denied
themselves,, picked up their own cross and followed Jesus through all
trials, temptations, hardship, pain, good times and bad times, until
the end.
It
is humanly impossible to do what Jesus requires of us and inherit the
kingdom of God IF we do not know Him, and utterly trust and obey Him,
until the end. Without Jesus we can do nothing. The KEY is our
relationship with Jesus, nothing else. No other person, preacher,
prophet, Christian fellowship, no Bible study, other than the words
of Jesus as recorded in Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Through
obedience to the words of Jesus we will get to know Him and be able
to follow Him.
Obey
the words of Jesus, get to know Him. Completely TRUST Him, FOLLOW and
OBEY Him, UNTIL THE END, and you will have LIFE.


May
Jesus bless you.

DO NOT WORRY ABOUT TOMORROW


Jesus said:” do not worry about
tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough
trouble of its own.” Matthew 6:34. It is a command, an instruction,
of Jesus to those who follow Him, who put their trust in Him.
We cannot be trusting in Him, if we
worry. Without faith it is impossible to please God. He works on the
behalf of those who trust Him. Jesus said: “I will never leave, nor
forsake you.” He is our Helper and He will take care of us. We must
just trust in Him and not worry. It is written in Philippians 4:6,7
“Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and
supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to
God. 7And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension,
will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”
May Jesus bless you.

What do you trust in?



In times of trouble, where do we go to? Who or what do we trust in? Many Christians trust in  their church, or the Bible. I have seen a Catholic lady frantically holding onto her rosary.

Holding onto and trusting in people and objects is futile. The only one who can really help us is Jesus.

Many times in my life I was desperate and called on Jesus. He heard my prayer and answered. Jesus never fails. He delivers, helps and saves those who trust in Him and call on Him.

May Jesus bless you.

Complications and Disappointments



When we follow Jesus
Christ our disappointments are His appointments. It is only when we
yield to Him and trust Him in everything, that He can use us for His
purpose as He pleases. I have to go back into surgery because of
complications, but our complications are according to God's purpose,
because He wants to use us for that purpose, and wecan only
understand that purpose if we yield to Him if we stay focused on Him
and if we allow Him to use us as He pleases.
Jesus has a plan and a
purpose for every one of us and we have to follow Him, trust Him and
obey Him. We don't need to understand what He is doing, we only need
to hold His hand, and if we go with Him we will overcome, because He
will guide us He will teach us, and He will use us and we will bring
glory to Him. We can only bear fruit for Jesus if we remain in Him,
if we go with Him, so that he can use us according to His plan and
purpose. We must trust Him and praise Him, go with Him and allow Him
to use us as instruments in His hand. He is the Master and He can
never make a mistake. We can fail but Jesus will never fail. As long
as we stay with Jesus we will not fail, we will overcome and be
pleasing to Him.
Never complain when Jesus
takes you where you did not expect, or where you don't want to go,
because He uses those who are willing to trust Him and willing for
Him, to use them as He pleases. All the glory and all the praises
goes to Jesus. He is Lord and Master. He knows what He is doing.
Follow Him and obey Him, and do what He requires of you and He will
be pleased with you.
May Jesus bless you.

Do Not Worry





Jesus Christ commands us
not to worry, not to be concerned about tomorrow because we cannot
change anything by worrying. He says that our Heavenly Father knows
what we need and He will freely give it to us, He will supply in all
our needs because He takes care of the birds of the heavens, He will
also take care of His children. Jesus gives peace beyond all
understanding to those who obey Him, but as it is written: There is
no peace for the sinner.
The sinner has a reason to
worry even though he is a believer. Jesus said He will never leave
us, He will never forsake us, but He also said that if we deny Him,
He will certainly also deny us. If we make God our refuge, if we
live for the kingdom of God and we obey the commands of Jesus then we
can pray with confidence and we can trust the Lord and know that He
will answer our prayer, that He will take care of us. But if we
disobey Him and we live selfishly for ourselves, if we have no
business with God, if we don't care for Jesus Christ and for His
kingdom then we have reason to be worried. It is only when we are in
obedience to Jesus, in Christ, that He gives us peace beyond all
understanding, no matter what our circumstances are, because He is in
control.
They once came to Jesus
and told Him about a tower that fell on people, the Tower of Shiloam,
and they were killed, and Jesus said to them:"If you do not
repent you will perish likewise." There is no peace for the
sinner, no peace for the person who disobeys Jesus Christ, he has
reason to worry not only about his current situation and what is
happening in the world, the uncertainties, the anxiety that is
destroying so many people. It is because of sin, it is because of not
obeying Jesus. They do not have Jesus and therefor they do not have
peace. If we obey Jesus then we have no reason to worry, then we can
have confidence, and His peace will be in us and with us. If we sin
and disobey Him that peace will leave us.
Do you want that peace
that Jesus gives, that peace beyond all understanding? Then obey Him
obey the gospel of Jesus Christ, live in obedience to Him. Repent and
be baptized in water, obey His commands, live holy and righteous and
Jesus Christ will give His peace in you. He will give his Holy Spirit
in you, He will reveal Himself to you and you will be in peace even
though this whole world is falling to pieces, because God is in
control. But He looks after those who take Him seriously, those who
are for Him. If God is for us, who can be against us, but if we are
against God then we are without the protection of God. Jesus said
that He will never leave us He will never forsake us, but if we deny
Him, He will certainly also deny us. If we do not take Him seriously
and we do not obey Him, in our day of trouble, we will call on Him
and He will not answer, because when He called we did not answer, we
were not interested in Him. If we deny Jesus, He will certainly also
deny us but if we seek to please Him, if we live for Him and for His
kingdom, then we can rest at ease, we can be at peace, because He
fills us with His peace that passes all understanding, then we need
not worry.
Are you worried? Are you
concerned about tomorrow, about the future, about what is happening
in the world, about what could happen? Obey the gospel of Jesus
Christ and He will give you peace beyond all understanding. He will
give you peace that you cannot find anywhere else because He takes
care of those who trust Him and who obey Him.
May Jesus bless you.

Salvation is NOT a Contractual Guarantee



Salvation is not a
contractual guarantee based on your confession of your faith in Jesus
Christ. You are not entitled to certain benefits and expectations
because you trust in Jesus Christ. To trust in Jesus Christ cannot
save you if you do not follow and obey Him. These things that I just
mentioned are some of the lies that are being preached by Bible
teachers. They say that if you trust in Jesus you have salvation and
you will enter into heaven. That is a lie.
You are not entitled to
certain benefits based on Bible Scripture just because you believe in
Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ said that whoever wishes to come after
Him must deny himself pick up his cross and follow Him every day. The
condition for salvation is to follow and obey Jesus Christ until the
very end. There is no guarantee of salvation. Many of these are false
teachers are celebrating a salvation that they promised to other
people, based on Bible scriptures. They believe these lies but they
have no relationship with Jesus Christ.
You cannot base your
salvation or Bible verses. Your salvation is based on your
relationship with Jesus Christ. It is not based on words that are
written on paper. It is based on your fellowship with Jesus Christ,
whether you have the Spirit of Christ and whether you follow and obey
Him, whether He knows you and you know Him and you do what is
pleasing to Him. We have no entitlements, no rights, no expectations,
other than the hope of eternal life, IF we continue to follow and
obey Jesus Christ until the very end. We have to obey His words as
they are also recorded in the Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke and John)
repent and be baptized in water, be filled with the Holy Spirit and
follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Obey Jesus Christ, seek Him,
seek His kingdom, live for Him and live for His kingdom. Live
according to His words and He will reveal Himself to you. He will
teach you and He will guide you, but at no stage are we entitled to
any benefits. We are living in the hope of salvation, we have the
hope of final salvation as long as we stay with Jesus Christ and obey
Him until the very end. Jesus will never leave us and neither will He
forsake us but we have to stay with Him we have to follow and obey
Him and do what He commands or else we will not enter His kingdom.
Jesus said:"Why do
you call Me Lord, Lord and you do not what I say?" Many trust in
Jesus for salvation but they do not know Him, neither do they want to
know Him. They do not obey Him, they do not follow Him, they have
nothing to do with Him, but they claim salvation. They believe they
have security of salvation based on some Bible verses. They are
foolish because Jesus will say to them:"Go away I never knew
you, you workers of unrighteousness."
Do you know Jesus? Do you
follow and obey Him? Do not be deceived, if we do not obey and follow
Jesus Christ and know him for real, we will certainly not enter His
kingdom.
May Jesus bless you.

Stay in the Boat





Many believers vow to remain faithful to Jesus Christ but when the storms of life come against them they get into doubt and they want to leave Jesus.
We read in Luke 8:22 "Jesus and His disciples got into a boat, and He said to them, “Let us go over to the other side of the lake.” So they launched out. 23But as they were sailing along He fell asleep; and a fierce gale of wind descended on the lake, and they began to be swamped and to be in danger. 24They came to Jesus and woke Him up, saying, “Master, Master, we are perishing!” And He got up and rebuked the wind and the surging waves, and they stopped, and it became calm. 25And He said to them, “Where is your faith?” They were fearful and amazed, saying to one another, “Who then is this, that He commands even the winds and the water, and they obey Him?”
The disciples were following Jesus Christ, the Messiah, and they believed in Him. They were in the boat with Him, but when the storm came up, and the winds picked up, and they looked at the waves, they got fearful; and He was sleeping inside the boat. They said:"Master, we are perishing," even though they were in the boat with Jesus Christ. And what did he say to them? He said:"Where is your faith?"
If we commit to follow Jesus Christ, if we get in the boat with Him, then the storms of life will come against us. In those times we have to decide whether we will stay with Him, obey Him and do as He commands. When friends and family leave us and reject us, when we are persecuted and rejected, then people get fearful, and they want to get out of the boat, they want to do things their way, not God's way. Jesus commanded us to turn the other cheek, not to defend ourselves. Jesus commanded us to love our enemies. Jesus commanded us to be faithful in all circumstances, not to deny Him. But when the storms of life come against people, then they are tempted to do things their own way, to defend themselves, to avenge themselves, to deny Jesus Christ, to get out of the boat, because they doubt whether Jesus is able to take them through that storm, to keep them safe. If we follow Jesus Christ we will encounter many storms, many trials, much tribulation, but the only safe place is to stay in the boat, stay with Jesus, because He is master of the storm. even though things look hopeless, even though it looks like the world is upside down, Jesus Christ is still the King of kings, He is still the Lord of lords and He is in control.
The only safe place is in the boat, with Jesus Christ. If you climb out of the boat you will perish. Stay with Jesus, trust Him, follow Him, obey Him and stay with Him and He will carry you through, He will keep you safe until the very end. Stay in the boat with Jesus.
May Jesus bless you.

Overcome FEAR



The righteous have nothing to fear. Those who have submitted their lives to Jesus Christ and who are living to please Him, have no reason to fear because nothing can touch them that Jesus does not allow to come onto them.

Job was a righteous man and satan could not touch him because God protected him. satan could only do to Job what God allowed him to do to Him.

If we have submitted our lives to Jesus Christ and we are following Him then He guides our footsteps, He determines our life and we have nothing to fear. Many believers are living in constant fear and uncertainty. They worry about many things, they are anxious and they are stressed. It is because they do not TRUST Jesus. If we trust Jesus we will not fear  because perfect love drives out fear.

If we submit our lives to Jesus and we live to please Him then we live in confidence , we live in His peace and we pray for His will to be done in our lives. Nothing can touch us , nothing can happen to us that is not of His making. If you are living in fear and uncertainty and if you are worried about many things , submit it to Jesus. take it to Him in prayer and trust Him to make all things to work together for good because He cares for you. You can only overcome fear by fully trusting in Jesus Christ.

If you are living in sin that separates you from Jesus, REPENT of  it and SUBMIT to Him and then trust Him, obey Him and you will have confidence. You will have no more reason to fear.

Submit to Jesus, trust Him and FEAR NO MORE because He cares for you.

May Jesus bless you.

Trust in the Lord



When the storms of life come against us it is easy to be like the rest of the world, to run to a lawyer or to defend ourselves with everything that is in our power. But as children of God we need to run to Jesus first. We need to ask Him, call on Him, pray and TRUST Him and He will see us through. That is the only way that we will learn to trust in Jesus. That is the only way that we will have a testimony of the power of God, in uncertain circumstances, in impossible times.

There is an old song that says: "Trust in the Lord and don't despair. He is a friend so true. No matter what your problems are, Jesus will see you through." Jesus Christ will never let us down but we have to go to Him first, TRUST Him and stay with Him, then we will see His hand moving on our behalf. Then only can we shine for the kingdom of God.

Trust in Jesus and you will never be disappointed.

May Jesus bless you.

Trusting in Jesus Christ



 Many people confess that they trust in
Jesus for salvation, they believe that because they trust in Jesus
that they will have eternal life but they do not trust Jesus enough
to follow Him. They do not trust Jesus enough to give up everything
and obey Him. They do not trust Him enough to able to pray with all
their heart:"Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done..." and
then to accept whatever comes their way as being from the hand of
God. They trust Jesus to give them WHAT THEY WANT and to allow them
to live the way that they please and then in the end they HOPE and
trust that they will spend eternity with Jesus Christ Whom they never
trusted, Whom they never loved, Whom they never had time for.
Do you trust in Jesus for what you hope
to get from Him or do you really love Him, do you really TRUST Him,
do you trust Jesus Christ enough to follow and obey Him, to live your
life in such a way that you are pleasing to Him? Do you trust Him
enough to abandon everything else and follow after Him?
Do you trust Jesus when He speaks to
you? Do you KNOW His VOICE or do you think maybe it is some demon
that is talking to you? Do you really KNOW Jesus? Do you TRUST Jesus
Christ?


May Jesus bless you.

Foolish Believers Trust in Churches Preachers and Books


Most Christian believers base their faith and their hope of salvation on their church membership, on what their pastor says or what they read in the Bible but most of them do not know Jesus Christ. If we do not know Jesus and if we do not follow and obey Him we do not have eternal life. The assurance that people get from their church membership and from what their preachers says, from how they understand the Bible, all of that is empty, void, it means nothing because if you do not receive confirmation and assurance from Jesus Christ Himself that He is pleased with you then you have no hope. You have to bond with Jesus Christ, receive the Holy Spirit, be led and guided by the Holy Spirit and receive confirmation from Him every day that He is pleased with you. It is useless to trust in what your church says, what other people say, what you read in books, what you read in the Bible, you cannot build your faith on those things. Your FAITH MUST BE BASED ON YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS CHRIST, and if that relationship is not REAL and ALIVE then you have no assurance, you have no hope.
Jesus Christ is ALIVE, He is God, He made the ears, His sheep LISTEN to His voice, they HEAR Him, they FOLLOW Him and they KNOW Him for REAL. They don't read books, they don't assume things from what they read and from what they hear from other people, they HEAR from Jesus Christ HIMSELF.

Do you hear from Jesus Christ? Do you know Him for real? Do you follow and do you OBEY Him and do you have confirmation from HIM that He is pleased with you? May Jesus bless you.

Do not accept the testimony of men


It is foolish and fatal to accept the testimony of men, of people, to trust in man because ALL MEN ARE LIARS. We can only trust in Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ Himself ALONE is the TRUTH and if we want to know the truth we must ASK HIM, WAIT on Him and He will tell us the truth. Those who run after other people will be deceived and they will be lost, they will perish because Jesus Christ Himself is the ONLY WAY, He is the only TRUTH.
The testimony of other people about Jesus should encourage us to seek our OWN RELATIONSHIP, our own experience with Jesus Christ. Do not blindly trust other people. It does not matter who they are and what they claim, ALL MEN ARE LIARS. All men are corruptible. Trust no man, follow Jesus Christ ALONE and you will never be disappointed.

May Jesus bless you.

The Living Word


Jesus Christ IS the Word of God. All things were created by Him and through Him and IN HIM all things hold together. He gives LIFE, eternal life, to those who LISTEN to Him, who OBEY Him and who follow Him. His sheep LISTEN to His voice and they follow Him, He gives them LIFE, eternal life.
Not everyone who says to Him:”Lord, Lord” are His sheep, it is those who LISTEN to Him, who OBEY Him and who FOLLOW Him every day, they are His sheep. Are you one of His sheep? Do you LISTEN to Him, do you HEAR His voice? Do you KNOW Him and does He KNOW you? If we seek Him, we find Him. If we LISTEN to Him and OBEY Him He REVEALS Himself to us and we get to know Him for real.
Jesus Christ will say to many believers, on the day that they die:”Go away I never knew you, you workers of wickedness,” because they did not LISTEN to His voice, they did not follow Him, they were not His sheep.

Do you LISTEN to the LIVING WORD, to Jesus Christ? Are you one of His sheep, and do you follow Him? May Jesus bless you.

PRAY and BELIEVE to RECEIVE


Whenever we pray about a problem or a situation and we ask Jesus to solve it for us we have to TRUST Him and BELIEVE that He will take care of it or else He WILL NOT. He rewards those who TRUST Him and who BELIEVE that He will help them.
Many people pray about a situation but while they are praying they are already making plans and scheming to solve the problem themselves or they already have a solution and they just ask God to make their plan work out. God does not make our plans work out. We have to TRUST Him when we pray and if we do not know what to do we have to ask Him for WISDOM, ask Him for His plan and He will give us His plan IF He wants us to do anything about the situation. But if we go to Jesus we have to TRUST Him and leave the problem in His hands or else He will not do anything about it.
If we do not truly believe that Jesus will answer our prayer and if we do not trust Him then we PRAY IN VAIN because those who go to God must believe that He IS and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him.
Ask Jesus about EVERYTHING in life, PRAY about everything and TRUST Him and He will guide you. He will take care of you and of your situation. He will guide you into HIS PLAN. His plans ALWAYS work out, but you have to TRUST Him and you have to BELIEVE.

May Jesus bless you.

How Strong is your FAITH?


How strong is your faith? Does it hold together in difficult times? Does it sustain you when the storms of life come at you? Does your faith still hold or do you panic, do you fret? Do you fall into anxiety or do you just keep on trusting Jesus? What is your faith made of? What is it based on? Is it based on the Bible? Is it based on what other people say, on some motivational talk from the pulpit of your church? Or is your faith based on your relationship with Jesus Christ?
Does your faith hold together or does it fall to pieces when you are threatened or tempted? How strong is your faith? If your faith is not based on your relationship with Jesus, HEARING from Him, TRUSTING in Him and walking WITH HIM every day, then it will fall to pieces because then IT HAS NO FOUNDATION.
Many believers claim to trust in Jesus, to trust in the Bible but when their faith is tested then they fall over, their foundation crumbles because it is not built on a real relationship with Jesus Christ, THEY DO NOT KNOW HIM.
You need to KNOW Jesus Christ FOR REAL and then you will not falter, you will not fail. You have to trust HIM and go with Him every step of the way until the end. If your faith is not based and built on the WORDS OF JESUS, what you HEAR FROM HIM then you are building on sand and your foundations will crumble when the storms of life come against you.

Jesus is coming. Do you KNOW Him? Will you stand in the evil day? Are you READY?

Are you CURSED by God?


Many people and even nations are CURSED BY GOD because of their wickedness, because they trust in themselves and in other people, and they reject God. They want things THEIR WAY and therefor GOD HAS CURSED THEM,
We read in Jeremiah 17:7
“5 This is what the Lord says:
“CURSED IS THE ONE WHO TRUSTS IN MAN,
    who draws strength from mere flesh
    and whose heart turns away from the Lord.
6 That person will be like a bush in the wastelands;
    they will not see prosperity when it comes.
They will dwell in the parched places of the desert,
    in a salt land where no one lives.
7 “But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord,
    whose confidence is in Him.
8 They will be like a tree planted by the water
    that sends out its roots by the stream.
It does not fear when heat comes;
    its leaves are always green.
It has no worries in a year of drought
    and never fails to bear fruit.”
9 The heart is deceitful above all things
    and beyond cure.
    Who can understand it?
10 “I the Lord search the heart
    and examine the mind,
to REWARD EACH PERSON ACCORDING TO THEIR CONDUCT,
    according to what their deeds deserve.”
That is what God does, He will reward us ACCORDING TO OUR DEEDS.
Every person who is wicked, who disregards God and who trusts in people, other people and in themselves, they are CURSED BY GOD. But Jesus Christ REMOVES THE CURSE when we TRUST in Him and we OBEY Him. When we trust in Jesus, we OBEY HIM, we change our conduct, we do what is pleasing to God and He will reward us accordingly.
Who do we trust in? Who do we serve? Ourselves? Other people? How is our conduct? Is God pleased with us? What reward can we expect for our DEEDS? Are we doing what is pleasing to God? Or are we CURSED BY GOD because of our DEEDS?

May Jesus bless you.

Many trust Jesus IN VAIN


Many people trust in Jesus for salvation but they will be terribly disappointed because these people do not OBEY nor do they FOLLOW Jesus Christ. They base their TRUST in Jesus and their SECURITY OF SALVATION on some selected Bible verses but they neglect to read the words of Jesus and OBEY them, as they are written in the gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.
All the promises of God are CONDITIONAL. Salvation is conditional. It is not just a matter of trusting in Jesus, we have to FOLLOW and OBEY Him. Jesus said:”Why do you call Me Lord Lord and do not what I say?” He also said:”IF you love Me you will OBEY My words, you will keep My commands.” He also said that if we deny Him He will also certainly deny us. He also said that every branch in Him that does not bear good fruit will get cut off and burned, and we can only bear good fruit IF we stay IN Christ, if we FOLLOW and OBEY Him and if we are LED by the Holy Spirit. If we refuse to OBEY Jesus we will perish, then our trust and our hope in Him is in vain!
Many people will be terribly disappointed. Jesus said:”repent and be baptized in water.” Many people refuse to be baptized in water and they do not receive the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Christ because they are DISOBEDIENT, and because they do not OBEY Jesus. They do not go after Him. They do not seek Him and they do not seek His Spirit. They have been deceived to think that if they trust in Jesus for salvation, they will be saved. THEIR HOPE IS IN VAIN! They will stand before Jesus and He will say to them:”Go away I never knew you, you workers of wickedness.”

Do you KNOW Jesus? Do you OBEY Him and FOLLOW Him every day? Are you led by the Holy Spirit or do you trust in Him IN VAIN? May Jesus bless you.

PRAY IT RIGHT



Carnal Christians and unbelievers try to fix their problems through worldly means, natural ways. They do like the rest of the world. If they have relationship problems with other people they want to talk it right, preachers want to preach it right. Religious people apply a Bible verse and they want to manipulate people by using scripture, or they attend some magical seminar to sort out their relationships. They might go to the psychologist and talk about it or they go on medication. When the carnal Christian is sick then he goes to the doctor or he swallows a pill.
But the child of God PRAYS, he PRAYS about all his problems and he submits himself and his problem to Jesus Christ who KNOWS all things and who can fix all things. That is the difference between a true child of God and a carnal Christian who is the same as an unbeliever because he does not really believe that God can do anything about his problem. He has either got to get help from outside, from some professional or he will try to fix it himself because he does not KNOW Jesus Christ nor does he TRUST Jesus Christ.
A child of God, a true follower of Jesus Christ firstly submits himself to the Lordship of Jesus Christ and asks the Lord to examine HIM, to make sure that HE is in the faith, that HE is in the will of God, say:”Lord examine me, test me and try me, see if there is in ME an evil way. Please lead ME on the right way.” And then I can with confidence take all my problems to Jesus and submit them to HIM, put all my problems under HIS LORDSHIP under HIS GOVERNMENT and TRUST HIM that He will fix it. If I do not trust Him and I try to fix it myself HE WILL NOT FIX IT because He does not share His glory with anybody.
A true child of God submits everything, all His problems, his whole life to Jesus Christ and then he himself stays focused on Jesus and makes sure that he stays in the will of God. Jesus said:”Seek ye FIRST the Kingdom of God and His righteousness and all the other things will be added unto you.”
Don't try and fix it, pray it right but FIRST submit yourself to Jesus and then he will firstly fix YOU and He will fix your problem.

May Jesus bless you.

GO FOR IT Follow Jesus



Many people are afraid to follow Jesus Christ, especially young people. They think that if they go after Jesus and follow Him that they will not HAVE A LIFE. They first want to LIVE and enjoy life and they think that then later on, once they have enjoyed life and enjoyed the pleasures of sin and of achieving their ambitions then they will turn and follow Jesus. The problem is that they DO NOT TRUST JESUS.
They think that they know what is best, they think that they will lose out and they will not HAVE A LIFE and that is where they make the mistake. Because without Jesus THERE IS NO LIFE! It is not about WHAT YOU ARE GIVING UP, it is about what you are GOING AFTER, you are going after ETERNAL LIFE and if you go after Jesus the other things become less important. They make no sense to you any more, they have no meaning. Jesus Christ IS the WAY, the TRUTH and the LIFE, and His WAY is the BEST WAY but people DON'T TRUST HIM.
I regret making the same mistake, I went away from Jesus when I was young but by His mercy and grace and through much tribulation and sorrows, and many mistakes that I made, and the price that I paid for my foolishness, Jesus never left me, but He brought me back. I only have one regret and that is that I did not TRUST Jesus all along, right from the start. It would have saved me a lot of pain and hardship but I have learned valuable lessons which I can share with other people. The advice that I am giving to any person, especially young people is: GO AFTER JESUS! You cannot lose if you follow Jesus.
I must be the happiest man in the world because Jesus had mercy on me. He treated me harshly at times but He turned me and He brought me back, and I thank Him that I was willing to turn when He brought me to the cross roads, I made the right decision and I started following Him with all my power. I must be the happiest man in the world because I walk with the KING of kings and the LORD of lords and I WANT TO stay with him until the very end. I WANT TO ENDURE because His WAY is the BEST WAY.
GO FOR IT! Follow Jesus with ALL your power and you will NEVER BE DISAPPOINTED!

May Jesus bless you.

Did you receive the Holy Spirit?



Jesus Christ is Emmanuel, God with us. He Himself comes and lives IN and WITH us by His Holy Spirit if we invite Him in. If you accept Jesus then He Himself comes and lives IN YOU. His sheep LISTEN to His VOICE and they FOLLOW Him.
Did YOU receive the Holy Spirit when you invited Jesus Christ into your life? Do you LISTEN to Him and do you OBEY Him? Or do you rather stay with your own interpretation of the Bible? Do you rather listen to other people? Have you received the Holy Spirit and are you FOLLOWING Him?
The apostle Paul wrote in Romans 8:14 “Those who are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.” Are YOU led by the Spirit of God? What is your final authority? Your Bible or the Holy Spirit of God? Whom do you LISTEN to? To Jesus, or to your own interpretation of the Bible? Do you REALLY believe in Jesus and do you REALLY follow Him?

May Jesus bless you.
