UNDERSTANDING THE WAYS OF GOD


God’s ways are not man’s ways and
therefor the hand of God is not recognized, even by most believers.
It is because they evaluate things along the line of their common
sense, their own understanding of the Bible and their perception of
God that they have in their own mind.
The Spiritual Man, who is born again of
the Spirit of God, receives his guidance from the Holy Spirit. He is
taught by God and learns from God. He sees the perfect will of God
because his understanding is from God. The natural man does not
receive nor accept the things of the Spirit of God.
Most believers are not born of the
Spirit of God. They reject the Spirit of God and the revelations of
the Holy Spirit. They cannot see the hand of God, nor the kingdom of
God. They do not HEAR what God is saying to them. It does not find
entry into them. They brood on the natural, the physical and that
which they can explain from the Bible and their secular thinking.
They do not have the mind of Christ.
The Spirit led believer understands all
things because his understanding comes from the Lord. It is only when
you trust wholeheartedly in the words and guidance of the Holy Spirit
that you receive understanding. Those who TEST the Spirit by their
own mind, will remain in darkness.
If any man needs
wisdom, guidance and understanding, let him ask of God, who gives to
all men freely, but if you do not trust and accept His guidance, you
will receive nothing. You will not get to know His ways. Neither will
you enter His rest or His kingdom.
Those who are led by the Spirit of God,
they are the children of God. Are we?
May Jesus bless you.

JESUS WANTS TO TEACH YOU UNDERSTANDING



Knowledge is not understanding. Many people have knowledge of God from reading the Bible but they do not have understanding of the will of God, because their knowledge is purely theoretical. Their knowledge is academical because they have not learned from practical experience. You cannot learn the ways of Jesus and understand what it means to follow Him, if you do not obey His words and act on them.

I was a pilot. You first go to ground school to learn the theory of flight. Having that knowledge does not qualify you to fly an aircraft. You have to start flying with an instructor in an aircraft with dual controls, so that you can get a feel for handling of the aircraft, with the security of an experienced pilot with his hands on the controls. It is only after many hours of training with the instructor co-pilot, having gained proficiency that you will be allowed to fly your first solo flight, where you take off and land  on your own.

Many people read the Bible, some go to Bible school and become preachers, evangelist, church leaders. They have Bible knowledge but they don’t know Jesus and they don’t know about following Him. They have no understanding. They become the blind leaders of the blind, taking many to hell with them.

Jesus calls us to become disciples, who now Him, know His voice and follow Him. He teaches those who follow Him UNDERSTANDING, of Himself, His words and His ways. He teaches us to FEAR, RESPECT and OBEY Him, to know what it means to: ”Be still and know that I am God.” He “gives understanding to the simple” Psalm 119:130, those who are willing to TRUST Him and be taught by Him. Those who are self taught and educated seldom listen to Jesus, the Bible teachers and church leaders, and that is why they remain ignorant, they never get to KNOW and UNDERSTAND the ways of the Lord. They are arrogant, ignorant and proud, leaning on their own understanding, rather than humbling themselves before Jesus and learning from Him.

We need to be HUMBLE, TRUSTING and TEACHABLE, to be taught by the Lord, to know Him and gain divine understanding. Our heart must be set on Jesus and on doing His will, at all cost. We must seek His counsel, guidance and revelation, not that of men and women. Then we will be taught by Him and gain understanding of His will and of the kingdom of God.

Jesus gives us understanding, of all things, even of Himself, who He is. We read in 1 John 5:20

“And we know that the Son of God has come, and has given us understanding so that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life.” Jesus Christ is the true God, but few recognize and honor Him as Lord and that is why most will perish.

Jesus is our Teacher. He did not appoint any other teachers . He will teach us and give us understanding, if we trust Him, listen to Him and stay with Him.

May Jesus bless you.

Understanding Not From Bible Study



You do not gain understanding from Bible study. Most professing Christians do not even know WHO Jesus is. If they did they would obey and follow Him.

Jesus said to the pharisees:“You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; it is these that testify about Me; 40and you are UNWILLING TO COME TO ME so that you may have life."John 5:39.

The Jewish pharisees, just like many "Christians" today, were seeking the scriptures but they rejected Jesus, they were looking for a reason to kill Him.

Very few professing Christians follow Jesus. Most of them are just religious, Bible believers, church clique members, hypocrites, sinners. They lack understanding. They are always studying the Bible "always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth." 2 Timothy3:7. They do not understand WHO Jesus is and therefor they do not follow, obey and know Him. They despise and shun Him. They are arrogant, spiritually blind and deaf because THEY DO NOT SEEK THE TRUTH, they will die in their sins .

To those who seek the truth, Jesus reveals the truth, as Jesus explained it to His disciples also:"10As soon as He was alone, His followers, along with the twelve, began asking Him about the parables. 11And He was saying to them, “To you has been given the mystery of the kingdom of God, but those who are outside get everything in parables, 12so that WHILE SEEING, THEY MAY SEE AND NOT PERCEIVE, AND WHILE HEARING, THEY MAY HEAR AND NOT UNDERSTAND, OTHERWISE THEY MIGHT RETURN AND BE FORGIVEN.” Mark 4:10.

The apostle John wrote: "And we know that the Son of God has come, and has given us understanding so that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life."1John5:20. Those who seek the truth, find it, they find Jesus and they follow and obey Him, because they UNDERSTAND  that Jesus alone is the Way, the TRUTH and the LIFE. They become His disciples, His servants who serve Him day and night.

Have you found the TRUTH? Have you found Jesus, or are you seeking for eternal life in the Bible? Seek the TRUTH. Humble yourself before Jesus in prayer. Ask Jesus to open your spiritual eyes and ears and give you UNDERSTANDING. Then you will understand all things, because Jesus will give you understanding. Without Jesus we can do nothing.



May Jesus bless you.

Intellectual Blockage



Most Bible scholars and theologians have an intellectual blockage that prevents them from truly believing in and following Jesus Christ. They trust in their book knowledge and test everything against their knowledge of the Bible.

To them their Bible is the final authority. They do not understand the kingdom of God. Sadly such people are in most cases preachers and pastors. They explain God from the Scriptures, but they do not know God, nor do they know Jesus Christ.

It was such a man that we read about in John 3:1   " 1Now there was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews; 2this man came to Jesus by night and said to Him, “Rabbi, we know that You have come from God as a teacher; for no one can do these signs that You do unless God is with him.” 3Jesus answered and said to him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.”    4Nicodemus said to Him, “How can a man be born when he is old? He cannot enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born, can he?” 5Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I say to you, 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. 7“Do not be amazed that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’ 8“The wind blows where it wishes and you hear the sound of it, but do not know where it comes from and where it is going; so is everyone who is born of the Spirit.”

      9Nicodemus said to Him, “How can these things be?” 10Jesus answered and said to him, “Are you the teacher of Israel and do not understand these things? 11“Truly, truly, I say to you, we speak of what we know and testify of what we have seen, and you do not accept our testimony. 12“If I told you earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things?"

Even the same today, most Bible scholars and theologians do not understand to be born again of the Spirit of God, and thereafter, as born again children of God, to be led by the Holy Spirit.

Do you know any preacher that is led by the Holy Spirit? Do you know any preacher that teaches you to be led by the Holy Spirit? They can teach you the Bible according to their understanding and indoctrination, but they do not know to teach you discipleship, to follow Jesus and to be led by the Holy Spirit. Why is that? They have a mental block, that prevents them from following Jesus in faith. They want to understand everything and explain it from the Bible, but they do not gain understanding, because they do not trust Jesus and His Holy Spirit, that He gives to guide and teach those who truly believe in Jesus and therefor obey Him without doubt and questions.

The mysteries of the kingdom of God remain hidden to the wise men, those who seek wisdom and understanding of the Scriptures, because they trust in their own understanding. They keep on studying but never come to the knowledge of the truth.

Jesus gives UNDERSTANDING and wisdom to those who follow and obey Him with childlike faith. It is only when you OBEY Jesus and do what He commands, that you receive understading. He discloses Himself to those who love and therefor obey Him.

Be a disciple of Jesus Christ. Obey His commands, as recorded in the gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, repent and be baptized, be holy, go after Jesus and He will come and dwell with you. He will give Is Spirit in you to guide you into all truth, He will teach you all things.

May Jesus bless you.

Bible Believers do not Understand





This generation has
embraced knowledge because they believe that knowledge is power, but
they lack understanding. The Bible of believing Christians of this
generation have embraced knowledge of the scriptures but they have
rejected Jesus Christ, therefore they lack understanding. They do not
understand the kingdom of God and they cannot understand that Jesus
Christ is God. They wrestle with the scriptures, they keep on
studying and they keep on learning but they never come to the
knowledge of the truth, yet they are very quick to offer an
explanation or their interpretation of the scriptures. They are
deceived and lost, they do not understand, but Jesus Christ gives
understanding to those who accept Him.
Jesus Christ was also
rejected by the Pharisees who were the Bible believers of the time.
Jesus did not fit into their interpretation of the scriptures. They
did not understand that He was the Messiah that they were expecting,
because they did not accept Him. They rather clung to their
scriptures. They could not understand the kingdom of God. We read in
Matthew 11, they came to Jesus and asked Him about John the Baptist.
We read from verse 12: "Jesus said:From the days of John the
Baptist until now the Kingdom of Heaven suffers violence and violent
men take it by force for all the prophets and the Law prophesied
until John and if you are willing to accept it John himself is Elijah
who was to come. He who has ears to hear let him hear." and
Jesus goes on and He talks about that unbelieving generation, verse
16: "But to what shall I compare this generation it is like
children sitting in the marketplaces who call out to the other
children and say:"We played the flute for you and you did no
dance we sang a dirge and you do not mourn, for John came neither
eating nor drinking and they said:"He has a demon." The Son
of man came eating and drinking and they say:"behold a
gluttonous man and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and
sinners," yet wisdom is vindicated by her deeds.'
They did not accept Jesus
Christ because He did not fit into the picture that they had in their
mind from studying the scriptures. We read further verse 20"
"and then He began to denounce the cities and which most of his
miracles were done because they did not repent what do you Chorazin.
Woe to you Bethsaida, for if the miracles had occurred in Tyre and
Sidon, which occurred in you then they would have repented long ago
in sackcloth and ashes, nevertheless I say to you it will be more
tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the day of judgment than for you. And
you Capernaum will not be exalted to heaven, will you? You will
descend to Hades for if the miracles had occurred in Sodom which
occurred in you it would have remained to this day. Nevertheless I
say to you that it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in
the Day of Judgment than for you." They did not believe in
Jesus. They do not accept Him they saw the miracles that Jesus did
and yet they rejected Him. They do not believe in Him.
The very same with this
generation. They believe in the Scriptures and they look for
salvation in the scriptures, but they reject Jesus Christ and
therefore they cannot see nor understand the Kingdom of God. They
cannot understand that Jesus Christ is the King of the kingdom of God
and that we have to serve Him to be part of His kingdom. But these
things are hidden. The truth is hidden from those who are wise in
their own estimation, from the Bible believers, those who look for
salvation from their own intellect, them from those who think that
they have the power of knowledge. We read further Jesus said in verse
25: "at that time Jesus said:"I praise You Father Lord of
Heaven and Earth that You have hidden these things from the wise and
intelligent and have revealed them to infants. Yes Father, for this
way was well pleasing in Your sight. All things have been handed over
to Me by my Father and no one knows the Son except the Father, nor
does anyone know the Father except the Son, and anyone to whom the
Son wills to reveal Him." Bible believers do not understand the
kingdom of God. They do not understand that they have to know and
serve the King, Jesus Christ. They occupy themselves with the
scriptures. They are forever looking for new interpretations of the
scriptures, looking for new prophecies to decipher, instead of going
to Jesus and receiving wisdom from Him, because He gives to those who
believe in Him and who ask Him.
As the Apostle John also
wrote in 1st John 5:20. Listen carefully! "And we know that the
Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may
know Him, who is true, and we are in Him, who is true, in His son
Jesus Christ, this is the true God and eternal life." That is
who Jesus is, Jesus is God and He reveals Himself to those who
believe in Him, those who seek Him,those who ask Him. He gives wisdom
and understanding to those who come to Him like little children. And
those who seek wisdom in the scriptures and in the writings and
interpretations of other people, it remains closed to them. They do
not understand, and sadly they never get to know Jesus, and they will
end up in hell because just like those cities that rejected Jesus,
they reject Jesus Christ Himself. They do not know Him. They do not
have His Spirit, they do not have understanding, because they reject
the truth, they reject Jesus Christ.
Understanding does not
come from various studies and from knowledge gained from reading, it
comes from Jesus Christ. He gives understanding to children, to
babes, to the uneducated, to those who believe in Him, those who ask
Him. If you ask Jesus He will give you understanding. Many keep on
reading the Bible without understanding, they have various
interpretations and various theories. That is why there are so many
churches. That is why there are so many Bible students with different
ideas and theories, but they have no knowledge of God. They do not
have the Holy Spirit because the Holy Spirit is ONE, Jesus is ONE,
there is only one truth and Jesus will reveal that truth to you if
you seek Him and you believe Him. If you just ask Him He will give
you understanding.
May Jesus bless you.

Listen and Learn



Jesus Christ calls us not
only to believe in Him but to listen to Him and to follow Him. If we
obey the gospel of Jesus Christ, His words that He spoke; if we
repent and are baptized in water and we seek Jesus with all our
heart, He will give His Holy Spirit in us to teach us and to guide
us. He is our Teacher, He is our guide, He is our constant companion.

Jesus calls us to listen
to Him and to learn from Him. Most believers never get to know Jesus
Christ. They do not know His voice, they do not follow Him. His sheep
hear His voice they listen to Him and they follow Him. They are
taught by Him. Jesus calls us to listen to Him to hear from Him so
that we can get to know Him.
Most believers never get
to know Jesus, they never get to know His ways and they will be very
disappointed and they stand before Him in judgment and He says:"Go
away I never knew you." Jesus is calling us to come close to
Him, for His Spirit to dwell in us, so that we can be in fellowship
with Him. Have you obeyed the gospel of Jesus Christ? Have you
repented and been baptized, and have you received the indwelling Holy
Spirit? Do you listen to the Holy Spirit and are you're being taught
by God? It is His will that we learn from Him, not from others. His
sheep do not listen to strangers, they listen to Him. Are you
listening to the good Shepherd? Do you follow and obey Him and do you
learn from Him?
May Jesus bless you.

Understanding the Kingdom of God





The message that Jesus
Christ came to deliver was, that the kingdom of God is at hand. Jesus
preached and said:"Repent for the kingdom of God is at hand."
Very few people believed Him or understood Him. Even the Pharisees of
the time, those who were expecting the Messiah, they did not
understand.
We read in John 3 that a
Pharisee by name of Nicodemus came to Him at night and he said to Him
that unless a person comes from God he cannot do the miracles that
Jesus did; and the reply of Jesus to him was, that unless a person is
born again he cannot see the kingdom of God, neither can he enter the
kingdom of God. This Pharisee did not understand what the kingdom of
God meant. The very same many believers today, do not understand what
the kingdom of God means, that Jesus Christ is King and we have to
serve Him, as King, Lord and Master to be part of his kingdom.
The problem is that people
do not recognize the King. They do not understand that Jesus Christ
is Lord, they do not believe, and therefore they do not obey the
gospel of Jesus Christ and they do not become born-again, and they do
not understand the kingdom of God, they do not see the kingdom of
God.
Believers and Bible
scholars read the gospel, the words of Jesus, as recorded in Matthew
Mark Luke and John; they read those words without understanding. They
do not understand what it is about. The message that is preached in
many churches today is salvation through Jesus Christ. That was not
the message that Jesus brought. Jesus brought the message of the
kingdom; that He is king and that if we want to be part of His
kingdom we have to believe in Him, obey Him, and submit ourselves to
Him as the Lord of our life. Believers do not understand the message
and therefore they do not understand the words of Jesus.
The reason why they do not
understand is because they do not believe. Jesus Christ gives
understanding to those who believe in Him and who obey Him. He
reveals Himself to them. He gives His Spirit, the Holy Spirit, in
them, to teach and to guide them. He gives them revelation of His
kingdom and they have understanding of the kingdom of God. They
understand that He is Lord, that He is God, that He is King and they
serve Him as Lord. The Pharisees did not understand the message of
the kingdom.
Very much the same today,
many believers do not understand what the kingdom of God is all
about. The kingdom of God is about the King Himself, Jesus Christ,
King of kings, Lord of lords, and if you do not obey Him, you will
not enter His kingdom. If you do not truly believe in Him you will
not receive revelation from Him. You will not understand what you are
reading in the Bible; the book will be closed to you, the kingdom of
God will be closed to you, because you do not believe.
If you believe that Jesus
Christ is Lord and you obey His gospel; if you repent and are
baptized in water and you obey the gospel of Jesus Christ, His
commands as recorded in the Gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John,
then Jesus Christ will reveal Himself to you. He will give you
revelation of Himself and of the kingdom of God, and you will have
understanding of the kingdom of God. Do you truly believe in Jesus?
Have you submitted your life to Him? Do you obey and follow Him, and
do you have understanding of the kingdom of God?
May Jesus bless you.

Wrestling with the Scriptures



Bible students and theologians like to wrestle with the Scriptures. They pick and choose and they apply scriptures in such a way as to fit in with their understanding or with their theories and their theology, but they never come to the truth because they are occupied with their own mind and their own desires, and their own beliefs. 

Jesus Christ gives the Holy Spirit in those who obey Him.  The Holy Spirit will guide us into all truth. If you wrestle with the Scriptures you always win, because you apply the scriptures to your own liking, your own desire, to your own understanding; but those who seek the truth go on their knees, they seek Jesus and they wrestle with the Spirit of God. The Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Truth, will guide you into all truth, but you will not win against the Spirit of God, the truth will always win it will triumph over lies and any opinions of man.

Those who are pure in heart will see God. Those who seek the truth do not wrestle with the Scriptures, they wrestle with the Spirit of God and they are taught the truth. They are not in darkness because the Spirit of God, the Holy Spirit, will teach them and guide them into the whole truth. The Spirit of Truth will refute the lies that we have been brought up with, the lies that we've been told and that we have come to believe. It is to our advantage to seek the truth to wrestle with the Spirit of God until the truth is revealed  in us and to us. The Holy Spirit of God will guide us into all truth, if we truly seek Him.

Do not wrestle with the Scriptures. Do not try and make the Scriptures fit into your theology. Rather seek the truth, go on your knees and speak to Jesus. Ask Him to guide you into all truth and a Holy Spirit will enlighten your mind, will give you understanding of the truth.

May Jesus bless you.

Spiritual Perspective





The gospel of Jesus Christ
does not make sense to the unbeliever. Many people say they believe
in Jesus but they do not follow nor obey Him. They do not obey His
words. The words of Jesus are scary. They do not make sense because
Jesus tells us not to defend ourselves but to turn the other cheek,
and then people say: What if somebody attacks you, or your wife, or
your family? Will you just stand by? If you truly follow Jesus
Christ, He will guide you in and through that situation. He will be
with you, but if you don't trust Him and you look for excuses not to
obey Him, then you will not see the power of God working in your
life.
Jesus says: "Deny
yourself pick up your cross and come here follow Me." If you
follow Jesus and if you obey His words then you will gain
understanding, but most believers will never have any spiritual
perspective, spiritual understanding, because they do not trust nor
follow Jesus Christ. They just believe in Jesus and they quote some
Bible verses to prove their salvation, but they have no relationship
with Jesus Christ. They say that his gospel is not practical, it is
not practical to do what Jesus commands and therefore most professing
believers do not really follow Him. They are not believers. They
believe something else, they believe an ideology. They do not believe
in Jesus and they do not trust Him. They do not obey Him. When you
tell believers that we must be led by the Holy Spirit and not trust
in our own understanding, not trust in our own interpretation of the
Bible, then they call it heresy, because they do not know Jesus. They
do not trust Him. They trust in their understanding of the
scriptures and therefore
they will never gain spiritual perspective, they will never really
get to know Jesus Christ, because they never really believed.
If you truly believe in
Jesus Christ you must obey Him. You must obey His words, the gospel
of Jesus Christ as also recorded in Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. You
have to do what he commanded and then you will gain spiritual
perspective. You will see how the hand of God moves. Jesus Christ
will guide you and He will teach you and He will answer your prayers,
in His way and in His time. He will give you understanding, in His
way, not the way that you think. He will not answer the things that
you want to know in the way that you ask them, because His thoughts
are higher than our thoughts, His ways are higher than our ways. We
cannot bring God down to our level, and we will not go up to his
level if we do not trust and obey Him, because it is only when we
trust in Jesus and we obey what He says that we gain spiritual
perspective, spiritual understanding. It is only then that we truly
get to know Jesus Christ and that we understand the kingdom of God,
the will of God and that we truly get to know His ways.
Are you learning from
Jesus Christ or do you trust in your own understanding? Do you doubt
Jesus or do you obey the gospel of Jesus Christ? Are you gaining
spiritual perception through your walk with Jesus Christ.
May Jesus bless you.

Understanding who Jesus is




Most professing Christians have no fellowship with God because they do not know Jesus Christ and they do not have fellowship with Him.
The Apostle John explained this in 1John 5:20 (I read from the New Living Translation) "And we know that the Son of God has come and He has given us understanding, so that we can know the true God, and now we live in fellowship with the true God, because we live in fellowship with His Son Jesus Christ. He is the only true God and He is eternal life." If you do not have Jesus Christ you do not have life.
The Apostle John writes here that Jesus came and He gave them, the disciples, understanding, and that same understanding that He gave to them, He also gives to us,  that He Himself is God, and that if we live in fellowship with Jesus Christ then we live in fellowship with God. But if we do not have Jesus Christ, if we are not in Christ, and Christ is not in us, then we do not have fellowship with God.
Most professing Christians just believe in Jesus Christ for salvation but they do not know Him, and therefore they will perish. They do not know who Jesus is. They do not know that Jesus is God. As we have just read here:" and now we live in fellowship with the true God because we live in fellowship with His Son Jesus Christ. He is the only true God, and He is eternal life." Jesus Christ is the WAY and the TRUTH and the LIFE.
Do you just believe in Him or do you know Him? Because if you do not know Jesus Christ, then you do not know God, and you are lost. Has Jesus given you understanding?
Go on your knees before Him. Seek Him with all your heart, and you will find Him, and He will give you understanding, and you will know that Jesus Christ is the one and only to God. Without Jesus we can do nothing.
May Jesus bless you.

Most Christians have NO UNDERSTANDING



Most professing Christians
have no understanding. They have no understanding of the Bible, even
though they study the Bible, and they have no understanding of the
kingdom of God, because they are not born again. They quote
scripture, the Bible, out of context, they do not have any
understanding about what the writers wrote about, they quote the
Bible like parrots. They keep on reading,they keep on studying the
Bible, without understanding. They keep on going to seminars and they
listen to Bible teachers, who themselves are confused.
The reason is that they
are not born again, they are not led by the Spirit of God. They run
after people, they go after their own mind, and their own
understanding, and they are utterly confused. They do not understand
the kingdom of God, they do not know who Jesus Christ is. The reason
is that they have never been born again; they have never obeyed the
gospel of Jesus Christ, they never repented and turned away from sin
and also from trusting in their own carnal minds. They have not
repented from listening to other people and from running after the
world. They have never turned to Jesus Christ and they have never
started trusting Him. They've never asked Him for understanding, and
therefore they will perish in their sins, and they will still not
understand when they stand before Jesus Christ and He says to
them:"Go away I never knew you you workers of wickedness."
They have no understanding because they do not obey Jesus Christ.
Stop trying to be clever.
Stop trying to be wise in your own eyes. Obey the gospel of Jesus
Christ, repent, stop sinning, go on your knees before Jesus Christ and seek Him with all your heart. Turn
away from your own ways, from going after your own insight and
understanding, from trusting in other people, and put your trust in
Jesus. Pray seek Him with all your heart and obey Him. Be baptized in
water and be filled with the Holy Spirit, so that He can guide you,
so that your understanding and your wisdom can come from Jesus Christ
Himself, or else you will perish in your own wisdom, your
foolishness, because you trust in yourself and you refuse to obey and
follow Jesus Christ. Without Jesus we can do nothing.
Get on your knees before
Jesus. Cry out to Him. If we need wisdom we must ask of Him. He loves
us and He cares for us and He will give it to us, but not as long as
we trust in ourselves, not as long as we deny Him. Not as long as we
go after our own mind and trust in other people. We have to fully
trust in Jesus. We must ask Him for wisdom and understanding. Our
dependence must be on Jesus. Without Jesus we can do nothing. Do you
get your understanding from Jesus Christ, or do you run to other
people? Put your trust in Jesus. Seek Him with all your heart, draw
closer to Him and He will draw closer to you. He will give you wisdom
and understanding. He will guide and lead you, He will teach you, but
you have to repent and obey Him and then trust Him. Follow Him every
day until the very end.
May Jesus bless you.

Understanding the Bible





Many people believe that knowing and understanding the Bible leads to salvation. That is not true. The Bible is just a book that was written by men, but the Bible points to the only One who has all the answers, the One who made all things and that is
Jesus Christ.
Jesus Christ gives understanding to those who seek Him, but if you seek for answers in the Bible you will discover more questions than answers.
Jesus Christ is the answer. He is the WAY, He is the TRUTH, and He is the LIFE. He  is God Almighty. He was before all things, He made all things and He holds all things together by His power, but the world does not know Him.
The Bible believers do not know Jesus Christ. If they knew Him, then they would spend their time with Him; they would follow and obey Him, but they don't know Him.
Jesus Christ is not far away. He is God. He made you, and He made me. He gave us the breath in our nostrils. All we need to do is cry out to Him, humble ourselves before Him, seek Him with all our heart and He will reveal Himself to us.
Jesus Christ is alive. You don't need a magical book, or a special formula. All you need is Jesus Christ. Go on your knees and cry out to Him. Seek Him with all your heart and He will come to you. He will speak to you, He will reveal Himself to you. Jesus Christ is the only Way, there is no other.
Seek Jesus with all your heart and you will find Him. He will give you life and He will give you peace. There's only one way and that is Jesus Christ.
May Jesus bless you.

Beyond Human Understanding





The works of God are great and marvelous beyond understanding. We cannot define or explain how God does what He does but He
gives understanding to those who are born again.
Jesus said that we have to be born again to enter the kingdom of heaven. That in itself is a mystery. How can a person be born again? It is only by the Spirit of God that a sinner is changed, that a person is made knew that he is changed from a wicked person to a child of God, that immediately he loses his taste for the things of the world and he loves God. It is only when the hand of God touches us that we are miraculously changed. Very few people are truly born again. Very few people truly become children of God but those who do, have understanding.
How can you explain that a person can be filled with the Holy Spirit and immediately speak in another tongue that he never learned? How do you explain that the Spirit of God can come and dwell in a person and pray with your spirit, giving you the words, utterances to communicate with God and to pray mysteries to God? That is a mystery that only comes from being filled with the Holy Spirit. That is the marvels of God.
People try to explain God. They try to define Him. They draw
pictures, build images and create doctrines like the Trinity. They cannot explain how God, the Holy Spirit and Jesus Christ can be one God only. But it is when you meet Jesus that you
gain understanding.
You cannot understand the kingdom of God, you cannot appreciate the words of Jesus Christ unless you are born again and it is only the work of the Holy Spirit, the hand of God, that can miraculously change and give you understanding so that you can
hear the voice of Jesus, you can see the kingdom of God and that
you have a desire for Jesus Christ.
You cannot force God to speak to you. You cannot force God to reveal Himself to you. People want to know how God speaks. He
speaks and His sheep hear His voice. Jesus Christ reveals Himself to those who humble themselves before Him and who
seek Him. He reveals mysteries to them and He gives them understanding. You cannot buy it, you cannot learn it you cannot acquire knowledge from a book, what other people say. You have to experience it yourself you have to meet Jesus Christ and He will reveal Himself to you. He will open your eyes, He will
give you understanding and you will see the hand of God moving.
He will reveal mysteries to you. The whole world wants to find out how God made things, how things work. Those are the works of God that people do not understand but God gives understanding to His children, to those who are born again ,to those who seek Him.
The human mind cannot understand the works of God but once God opens your spiritual eyes and gives you understanding then you understand and you know, because God freely gives to those who seek Him If we seek Jesus Christ we will find Him.
If we humble ourselves before Him and earnestly cry out to Him, yearn for him He will reveal Himself to us but if we keep
on denying Him we will never gain understanding.
Do you want LIFE?
Do you want to hear the voice of God? Do you want understanding? Then humble yourself before Jesus seek Him with all
your heart. e gives freely to those who earnestly
seek Him. Seek Jesus and He will give you understanding.
May Jesus bless you

Understanding the Calling and WILL of God





Jesus Christ has called many to follow Him but they do not follow Him because they lack understanding of their calling and of the will of God. That is because they do not stay with Jesus, they do not ask His guidance. The run around to other people and go and look for guidance and confirmation from others. Their focus is not on Jesus Christ. They start doubting and when things do not work out the way that they thought or expected then they turn against the Lord, they feel sorry for themselves because of their circumstances.

Jesus said that whoever puts his hand to the plow and looks back is not worthy of Him. If you want to follow Jesus you must get your wisdom from Him. You must pray and wait on Him so that He will guide you and teach you. If you run to other people then you will fall into all kinds of doubt and you will be lost. Without faith it is impossible to please God. If you do not utterly trust Jesus Christ you cannot follow Him and you will not fulfill His calling. You have to trust Him with all your heart, burn your bridges, do not look back. Go after Jesus, let go of everything. If you hold on to anything it will hold you back and prevent you from doing what Jesus wants you to do. If Jesus calls you then you WAIT on Him. You stay with Him and if you are not sure you ask Him, you keep on praying  and He will guide you.

To walk by faith is to by hearing the Word of God, to HEAR His VOICE, to be guided by the Holy Spirit and to gain understanding from Jesus Christ, from your relationship with Him.

You do not gain understanding from reading the scriptures and listening to other people. If your guidance and understanding does not come from Jesus Christ Himself, if you are not lead by the Holy Spirit then you cannot follow Jesus, you cannot please Him, you cannot do what He called you for.

Jesus is calling people who will fully trust Him, follow Him and go after Him. Those who do not trust Him are not worthy of Him,. they will not follow Him and they will not be pleasing to Him .

Trust Jesus with all your heart. Go after Him. Do not look back , do not waver, do not hesitate. Do not doubt. Stay focused on Him. Wait on Him and go after Him and He will guide you every step of the way.

May Jesus bless you.

The MYSTERY of the TRUE CHRISTIAN



Those who are born again of the Spirit of God have a wisdom and an understanding in them that this world cannot understand. It is not wisdom or knowledge that is taught but it is wisdom that imparted in them. That is the MYSTERY of Jesus Christ.

Those who are born again of the Spirit of God have Jesus Christ living IN them. It is not their own wisdom. It is not wisdom acquired from reading, from studying the Bible, from listening to other people. It is Jesus Christ dwelling inside of them. The Holy Spirit of Christ teaches us all things IF we are led by the Holy Spirit.

Paul wrote that those who are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God, They have WISDOM and UNDERSTANDING that surpasses that which can be found in this world because they are taught of God. Jesus Christ dwells IN them.

Are you born of the Spirit of God. Does the wisdom of Christ dwell in you? Without Jesus Christ we can do nothing. Without Jesus we are lost.

May Jesus bless you.

Learn some more



We often become fixed in our ways
because we trust in what we know and we lean on our own understanding
instead of fully trusting Jesus Christ and that is why we get STUCK
in our spiritual life. We think that, that which we know, what we
have learned is the alpha and the omega, that is the beginning and
the end of the story and then we STAY with our understanding, but we
have to trust Jesus Christ and open our spirit, our mind and let Him
teach us. Let Him guide us.
If we get stuck on what we KNOW and
what we have learned, even from the Lord Himself, then we are
trusting on our KNOWLEDGE, on our EXPERIENCE and not on Jesus Christ.
We have to fully trust Jesus and go with Him, LISTEN, WAIT on Him and
He will give us UNDERSTANDING, He will open the WAY in front of us
and we will SEE the LIGHT, we will SEE His way because God does not
conform to what we THINK or what we have LEARNED, or what we believe
to be His way.
Jesus Christ is LORD and we have to
LOVE Him, TRUST Him, FOLLOW Him and OBEY Him in everything. Above all
other things we have to OPEN our mind to Jesus. We have to be
TRANSFORMED by the renewal of our MIND, by the indwelling of the Holy
Spirit or else we will not enter into the kingdom of heaven, we will
not follow Jesus Christ where He takes us.
Trust in the Lord, WAIT on Him, LISTEN
and He will give you understanding. He will teach you NEW THINGS that
you did not know, NEW THINGS that nobody knew because all knowledge
and all revelation belongs to Him. Our God is UNLIMITED. Trust Him
and FOLLOW Him.


May Jesus bless you.

Reprobate Christians



Most professing Christians are
reprobates, castaways, they are just as evil and sinful as the rest
of the world. They cannot see the difference between right and wrong
because they have been blinded. They did not love the truth and
therefor God gave them over to their wicked desires, He blinded their
eyes and they cannot see right from wrong.
I read the words of the prophet Isaiah
as also quoted by Jesus Christ in Matthew 13:14 “In their case the
prophecy of Isaiah is being fulfilled, which says,
‘YOU WILL KEEP ON HEARING, BUT WILL
NOT UNDERSTAND;
AND YOU WILL KEEP ON SEEING, BUT WILL
NOT PERCEIVE;
15FOR THE HEART OF THIS PEOPLE HAS
BECOME DULL,
WITH THEIR EARS THEY SCARCELY HEAR,
AND THEY HAVE CLOSED THEIR EYES,
OTHERWISE THEY WOULD SEE WITH THEIR
EYES,
HEAR WITH THEIR EARS,
AND UNDERSTAND WITH THEIR HEART AND
RETURN,
AND I SHOULD HEAL THEM.’
Most professing Christians also profess
to be SINNERS. Many of them confess:”We are all sinners.” If we
follow Jesus Christ we are pure and holy like Him, we SIN NO MORE but
because Christians go after their own desires God has given them over
to a reprobate mind.
The apostle Paul wrote in Romans 1:28
”And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God any longer,
God gave them over to a DEPRAVED MIND, to do those things which are
not proper, being filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, greed,
malice; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malice; they are
gossips, slanderers, haters of God, insolent, arrogant, boastful,
inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, without understanding,
untrustworthy, unloving, unmerciful; and although they know the
ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of
death, they not only do the same, but also give hearty approval to
those who practice them.”
Modern theology preaches that if you
just BELIEVE in Jesus Christ you are saved. You have to OBEY Jesus
Christ and become LIKE HIM but these people do not see it, nor do
they understand it because they have been given over to a depraved
mind, they are reprobates and they will perish. May God have mercy on
this generation.
If you have also fallen prey to the
doctrine of ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED and just BELIEVING to be saved,
WAKE UP dear friend because you have been blinded to the truth and
your destruction is near. REPENT, obey Jesus Christ, be pure, holy
and righteous, be ready, because Jesus is coming and if you are not
ready you will perish.
May Jesus bless you.

Understanding the Scriptures


Understanding and WISDOM comes from God alone. We do not gain UNDERSTANDING of the Scriptures, the Bible, through our own studies or through the explanations of other people. It is only when the Holy Spirit reveals the true meaning to us that we really start understanding the Scriptures.
The disciples of Jesus followed Him for three and a half years and listened to Him, they heard His words, they saw everything that He did but they still did not understand the scriptures. They were frightened when Jesus appeared to them after His death and resurrection, they thought He was a ghost. They were amazed and frightened when they heard that some of them had seen Jesus alive after His death and resurrection. We read in Luke 24:36 “While they were telling these things, He Himself stood in their midst and said to them, “Peace be to you.” 37But they were startled and frightened and thought that they were seeing a spirit. 38And He said to them, “Why are you troubled, and why do doubts arise in your hearts? 39“See My hands and My feet, that it is I Myself; touch Me and see, for a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you see that I have.” 40And when He had said this, He showed them His hands and His feet. 41While they still could not believe it because of their joy and amazement, He said to them, “Have you anything here to eat?” 42They gave Him a piece of a broiled fish; 43and He took it and ate it before them.
      44Now He said to them, “These are My words which I spoke to you while I was still with you, that all things which are written about Me in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms must be fulfilled.” 45THEN HE OPENED THEIR MINDS TO UNDERSTAND THE SCRIPTURES, 46and He said to them, “Thus it is written, that the Christ would suffer and rise again from the dead the third day, 47and that repentance for forgiveness of sins would be proclaimed in His name to all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem. 48“You are witnesses of these things. 49“And behold, I am sending forth the promise of My Father upon you; but you are to stay in the city until you are clothed with power from on high.” Luke 24:36-49.
He opened their minds to understand the scriptures. Only then did they UNDERSTAND and then He commanded them to stay in Jerusalem until they had received the Holy Spirit which He had promised, Who would teach them and guide them into all truth. We cannot understand the Scriptures from our own mind, our own understanding and insight or from what other people tell us. We cannot understand the mysteries of God, neither SEE the Kingdom of God unless it is REVEALED to us by the Holy Spirit, but we need to RECEIVE the Holy Spirit, we need to receive WISDOM FROM GOD. Human wisdom cannot explain the mysteries of God. We need the baptism in the Holy Spirit and we need to be led by the Holy Spirit and then we will UNDERSTAND the Scriptures.
If you want UNDERSTANDING you have to ask Jesus to open your mind and give you WISDOM, then you will UNDERSTAND the Scriptures.

May Jesus bless you.

Understanding through REVELATION


Most people read the testimonies of Jesus in the Bible and they do not understand what they are reading. It was no different when Jesus walked this earth. Jesus asked of Simon Peter, one of His disciples, He said to Him:”Whom do the people say that I am?” Peter replied:”Some people say John the Baptist or Elijah or Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” and then Jesus said to him:”But who do you say that I am?” and he said:”You are the Son of the Living God.” Jesus said to him that:”Flesh and blood did not reveal that to you but my Father in Heaven,” God Himself. We can only KNOW Jesus Christ and have UNDERSTANDING if it is revealed to us by God Himself.
Many people study the Bible, the prophecies and what other people say and still they DO NOT UNDERSTAND that Jesus Christ is LORD, He is God Almighty because it has not been revealed to them. They crucified Jesus Christ because they did not know who He really was. They said He was a heretic. Even so today most believers do not know Jesus Christ. Maybe they know the Bible and they are religious but they do not UNDERSTAND who Jesus Christ really is. He is LORD, He IS the KING of kings, He is the LORD of lords, He IS the FINAL JUDGE, Jesus Christ is GOD ALMIGHTY, you can only know that through REVELATION.
If you want to know the truth, humble yourself before Jesus, go on your knees, cry out to Him and He will GIVE you REVELATION. Seek Him with all your heart and He will reveal Himself to you. You will only know Jesus Christ if He reveals Himself to you.

May Jesus bless you.
