DON'T LET ANYTHING STOP YOU



Many new followers of Jesus Christ feel

that they are not equipped to witness

for Him. Some have even been led to

believe if ever must first receive the

baptism of the Holy Spirit

before they can witness for Jesus. That

is just not true. if we have received

Jesus, repented, been baptized in water

and been born again then we are ready to

go and tell the world that Jesus is

alive that Jesus saved us, that He set us

free from our sin. We are ready to be His

witnesses, and Jesus said that for those

who believed certain signs will follow. I

read the words of Jesus in Mark chapter

16 verse 15 to 18. And He said to them: " Go

into all the world and preach the gospel

to all creation. He who has believed and

has been baptized shall be saved but he

who has disbelieved shall be condemned.

These signs will accompany those who

have believed. In My name they will cast

out demons, they will speak with new

tongues, they will pick up serpents and they

will drink any deadly poison and it will

not hurt them.They will lay their hands

on the sick and they will recover." Who is

He talking about? Those who believed and

obeyed the gospel of Jesus Christ, who

repented and were baptized in water.

These signs will follow for them as they

go out witnessing for the Lord. these

things will happen.

The baptism in the Holy Spirit is a gift,

Jesus will give it to you, As we go out

for Him, as we witness, He will give us

the words. He will equip us. He will give

us the power to be effective witnesses.

You no need to

to a Bible School, you don't need to go

to some lectures to learn how to

testify for Jesus. If Jesus is in your

heart and He's real, if you've been born

again, you've got a testimony and you

can be His witness, and you must not let

anything stop you from witnessing for

Jesus. Many people are waiting for the

baptism in the Holy Spirit and then once

they start speaking in tongues they go

to church to make a big noise, but they

don't go out and preach the gospel, they

don't witness for Jesus.That is no good.

We have to witness for Jesus. He gives

power, He gives wisdom. As we go out He

gives power to overcome and He gives us

the words to witness. Don't worry what

you will say. Go and witness for Jesus. He

will put the words in your mouth, in your

heart, because if Jesus lives in your

heart His wisdom is in you and as you

witness for Him,

He will give more power, more wisdom, more

boldness. Don't let anything stop you

from witnessing for Jesus. We will be His

witnesses. May Jesus bless you.

Jesus Christ is alive and hell is real.

I am here to introduce you to Jesus

Christ so that you can know Him and

follow Him and have eternal life

Talk About Jesus



Very few people are willing to talk about Jesus. That includes MOST professing Christians. They will talk about their church and their pastor and God, but they avoid talking about Jesus.

Here is a surprize, dear friends. Jesus said:"But whoever denies Me before men, I will also deny him before My Father in heaven."Matthew 10:33.

Also He said:"For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will also be ashamed of him when He comes in His Father's glory with the holy angels."Mark 8:38.

Jesus will deny and refuse most professing Christians entry into heaven because they denied Him both in words and in deeds. Many confessed to be Christians but they did not follow nor obey Jesus. They did not know Him and therefor had no testimony of Him. By their deeds they showed that they were of the devil. They were a shame on His Name.

Jesus said:"Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?’ 23Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you workers of lawlessness.’" Matthew 7:22,23.

Dear friend, do you talk about Jesus? Do you witness for Jesus? Do you show by your obedience to His words that you love and follow Him? Do you testify for Jesus, that He is alive, He is your Lord and that you follow Him? Or do you deny Him?

Many people ask me why I always say: May Jesus bless you. That is because Jesus is my Lord and I confess Him. To refer to God, can mean any god. I talk about Jesus. What about you?

May Jesus bless you.

Being a Witness



We can only be a truthful witness of that which we have seen or experienced. We can only be a witness for Jesus if we have met Him, experienced Him, and if we know Him.

The disciples of Jesus were such witnesses. We read in 1 John 1:3 the testimony of John: "What was from the beginning, what we have heard, what we have seen with our eyes, what we have looked at and touched with our hands, concerning the Word of Life— 2and the life was manifested, and we have seen and testify and proclaim to you the eternal life, which was with the Father and was manifested to us— 3what we have seen and heard we proclaim to you also, so that you too may have fellowship with us; and indeed our fellowship is with the Father, and with His Son Jesus Christ. 4These things we write, so that our joy may be made complete."

If we follow and obey Jesus we will experience Him all the time and we will be witnesses for Jesus, that He is alive and real. We will live in fellowship with Him and bring others into fellowship with Him, through our testimony and thus we will build the kingdom of God.

Are we witnesses for Jesus. Are we through or testimony bringing others into fellowship with Jesus and building His kingdom?

May Jesus bless you.

Shine



Yesterday I went to hospital for an MRI and I wore a T-shirt on which is written:"DON'T GO TO CHURCH, GO TO JESUS." The receptionist  asked me where I bought the T-shirt with the words on it. I told her that I put the words on myself. She asked me if I would make her one, she would like to buy it off me. I promised to send her one for free.

The nurse that took me in for the MRI asked about my accent, where I am from and I had the opportunity to share my testiony with her. I told her how I died 20 years ago of a heart attack, and although I was a Christian, I found myself on my way to hell. Jesus gave me a second chance to come back, live for Him, and tell the world that Jesus is alive, and hell is real.

She was shocked and said to me that she is also a believer but she was convicted that she is not living as Jesus requires of her. She said that she knows to do  right but does not always obey the conviction of the Holy Spirit. I testified to her that we must not just believe in Jesus, we must  know Him, obey Him, listen to His voice and make every effort to live a life that is pleasing to Him.

On the rear bumper of my car I have a  decal with these words: "JESUS IS ALIVE! HELL IS REAL! TESTIMONY OF A MAN WHO DIED AND WENT TO HELL" www.FINALCALLO7.COM.

As we were driving on the road a car honked and pulled up next to me. The passenger in the car waved at me and showed me that He was watching one of my videos on his cell phone.

What a privilege it is to be a witness for Jesus. If we are ashamed of Him, He will also deny us. He will not allow us into heaven.

 Jesus said that if the light that is in you is darkness, how great is that darkness.

We must let our light shine for Jesus.

May Jesus bless you.

We are not all called to preach



We are not all called to be preachers
but all of us who follow Jesus Christ will be disciples, and we will
be witnesses for Him. I've just come out of hospital and I've been
there for an extended time. I was in ICU for more than four weeks,
but it was all by the plan of our Lord and Master, because He sent me
in there to be His witness.
I had the opportunity to witness to so
many nurses and doctors and hospital personnel. We are here to be
witnesses for Jesus and He gives us the opportunity to witness for
Him. If we love Jesus Christ and He is our life, then we will use
every opportunity to witness for Him and to shine for Him. The first
thing that nurses normally asked me is where do I come from, because
I've got an accent, and then I tell them I come from South Africa,
and they ask me why am I here and then I say because God sent me.
Then I can start and I can give them my whole testimony how I had a
heart attack and I died and I went to hell, even though I was a
Christian and I thought I was saved. I can share with him how I truly
got to know Jesus Christ and how He sent me to come and share the
true gospel of Jesus Christ. It is our duty and our privilege to be
witnesses for Jesus.
You do not learn to witness for Jesus.
You witness for Jesus Christ because He is real to you, because He is
your Lord and Master, because He is your life, because you truly
believe in Him. We are not all called to preach but we are all called
to be witnesses for Jesus, and if we do not witness for Him and if
our light does not shine for Him, then we are not worthy of Him.
Jesus said that if we deny Him, He will certainly also deny us. It is
easy for us to talk about other things, about our achievements, about
our country, about our children, about our family and about our
education, about our work, but those things are not important. What
is important, is Jesus Christ and His kingdom.
If Jesus is the center of our life and
then that is what we will be talking about. We will not struggle to
witness for Jesus. Jesus will be the first name and the first thing
on our tongue when we speak to people. We will be living witnesses
for Jesus Christ. We witness for Jesus because He is real to us,
because He is our Lord and Master, because He is our life and if we
do not have that desire to constantly witness for Jesus and talk
about Jesus then our relationship with Him is just not right.
Is our relationship with Jesus right?
Are we shining lights for Him? Are we worthy ambassadors for the
kingdom of God? Do we truly know Him and therefore do we witness
about Him? If we do not know Jesus for real and if we do not follow
Him and do not witness for Him then He will one day say to us:"Go
away, I never knew you."
Do we really know Jesus? Do we love Him
and are we worthy witnesses for Him. Jesus is Lord. He is King of
kings and Lord of lords. Jesus Christ is the final authority. He is
God Almighty. Every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that
Jesus Christ is Lord, and we must proclaim his name we must proclaim
His kingdom and proclaim His glory.
May Jesus bless you.

Keep on Sowing



We are called to be
witnesses for Jesus Christ and we must never become weary. Never
think that our testimony has no effect. The devil will tell you that
people are not listening, that they do not take you seriously, but we
just have to sow the seed, Jesus makes it grow. Aways look for an
opportunity to testify about Jesus. If you don't know what to say,
just pray and ask Him and He will put the words in your mind. Speak
those words and sow for the kingdom of God.
If we sow sparingly, we
will reap sparingly. If we don't sow at all we will not have a
harvest. If we do not bear fruit for the kingdom of God then we are
useless for His kingdom and we will get cut off and burned.
Never give up witnessing
for Jesus. The more you sow, the more you will reap and the greater
will be your treasure in heaven. Never give up. Keep on witnessing
for Jesus at every opportunity.
May Jesus bless you.

Your Purpose



A child of God has one
purpose, and that is to give glory to God. Jesus Christ said to His
disciples:"You will be My witnesses." We are called to be
witnesses for Jesus Christ, that He is alive, that He is God. But how
can we be witnesses, how can we talk about something or someone that
we do not know? Most Christians have no testimony. They cannot tell
you about Jesus. They can tell you about the Bible, about their
church, about their pastor, but they cannot tell you anything about
Jesus Christ because they don't know Him.
We can only talk about
Jesus and be His witness if we know Him, and we only get to know Him
if we believe in Him and we obey Him. Jesus said that if we believe
in Him we must follow and obey Him. We must repent repent of sin,
repent of our senseless existence, going after our own desires, and
we have to go after Him. We have to be baptized in water. That is
what He commanded, and He promised to reveal Himself to those who
obey Him, and they get to know Him. He promised His Holy Spirit in
them. The Spirit of Christ will come and dwell in them and He will
teach and guide them, and they will know Him for real.
Why is it that most
Christians have no testimony of Jesus? They are taught that they must
witness, but all that they talk about is the Bible and the church
because they do not know Jesus Christ. I am a witness for Jesus.
Jesus Christ saved me from myself. I was on my way to hell. I was
living a life of sin and of self gratification. I was ambitious, I
ran after my own desires, but then the Holy Spirit of Christ
convicted me and I came on my knees before Jesus, and I said:"Lord
if you want me, then I want to follow You" and Jesus Christ
changed me. I have no desire for the things of the world. I hate sin
and I love Jesus and I want to follow Him. Jesus gave me His Holy
Spirit and He guides me. He teaches me, He provides in all my needs.
He is my life, He gives me everything that I need. Jesus Christ is
alive. I am a witness for Jesus Christ because I know Him for real.
He speaks to me. He answers my prayers. Jesus Christ is my father, He
chastises me, He teaches me His ways, He corrects me when I go wrong.
All His ways are loving kindness and I want to stay with Him until
the very end because He is God, He is Almighty. He has given me life.
Jesus Christ is alive. He is God, He is Almighty and that is why I am
here to testify. Jesus Christ guides me every day because I stay with
Him. I live for Him, I love for His kingdom. He reveals Himself to
me. Jesus Christ is my Lord, my God, my Master. Do you know Jesus
Christ for real? Can you witness about Jesus? Can you serve your
purpose? Our only purpose is to be witnesses for Jesus Christ and if
we do not serve that purpose, we will not enter His
kingdom.
Many Christians deny
Jesus, they pretend they do not know about Him. They just do not talk
about Him. Jesus said if we deny Him in front of this wicked
generation then He will also deny us before His holy angels. Are you
a witness for Jesus ? Do you know Him? Are you serving your purpose
that Jesus called you for? Are you bringing glory to Him?
May Jesus bless you.

You will receive POWER




Modern Christianity is powerless. It is a powerless against sin. Christians say they cannot stop sinning. It is powerless against satan; it is powerless against temptation, it is conformed to the world. The reason why Christians believers are powerless is because they do not have the Holy Spirit.
We need the power of the Holy Spirit dwelling in us to be effective witnesses for Jesus Christ. We need the power of the Holy Spirit to overcome. Eternal life is for those who overcome. Jesus Christ promised the Holy Spirit to His disciples and to all those who would seek Him and who would follow Him. The disciples of Jesus Christ were scattered when He was taken captive to be crucified by the Romans and the instigation of the Jews. Even Peter, who swore that he would never deny Jesus, denied him three times. The disciples did not have the power to be witnesses. They did not have the power to be faithful to Jesus and we see that after Jesus was resurrected before He ascended to heaven,He gathered the 12 and He commanded them to go to Jerusalem and wait for the Holy Spirit that was promised.
We read in Acts chapter 1 verse 4: Gathering them together He commanded them not to leave Jerusalem but to wait for what the Father had promised, "which" He said, "you heard from Me, for John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now." We
read in verse 8: "but you will receive POWER when the Holy Spirit has come upon you and you shall be My witnesses, both in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria and even to the remotest part of the earth." The Holy Spirit was poured out on the day of Pentecost.
We read in Acts chapter 2 verse 1:"When the day of Pentecost that come they were all together in one place and suddenly there came from heaven a noises like a violent rushing wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting, and there appeared to them tongues as of fire, distributing themselves and they rested on each one of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with tongues as the Spirit was giving them utterance."
We read in verse 5: "Now there were Jews living in Jerusalem, devout men from every nation under heaven, And when the sound occurred, the crowd came together and were bewildered because each one of them was hearing them speak in his own language. They were amazed and astonished, saying:"Why, are not all these who are speaking Galileans? And how is it that we each here them in our own language, to which we were born? Parthians and Medes and Elamites and the residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the districts of Libya around Cyrene, and visitors from Rome both Jews and proselytes, Cretans and Arabs - we hear them in our own tongues speak of the mighty deeds of God.
And they all continued an amazement and perplexity saying to one another, "What does this mean." But others were mocking and saying, They are full of sweet wine."
When the Holy Spirit came on these disciples,men from Galilee, the Holy Spirit gave them utterance, they spoke of the great deeds of God in languages that they had never heard before and therefore the people were amazed. How is this possible?
And Peter explained to them. Verse 14: "but Peter taking his stand with the 11, raised his voice and declared to them: "Men of Judea and all you who live in Jerusalem, let this be known to you and give heed to my words. For these men not are drunk as you suppose, for it is only the third hour of the day; but this is what was spoken of through the prophet Joel: And it shall be in the last days, God says, that I will pour forth of My Spirit on all mankind; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams; even on My bond slaves both men and women I will in those days pour forth of My Spirit and they saw prophesy. And I will grant wonders in the sky above and signs on the earth below, blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke. The sun will be turned into darkness and the moon into blood before the great and glorious day of the Lord shall come. And it shall be that everyone who calls on the Name of the Lord will be saved."
Peter spoke some more words to them and we read in verse 37: "Now when they heard this they were pierced to the heart and they said to Peter and the rest of the apostles:"Brethren, what shall we do? Peter said to them:"Repent, and each of you be baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off, as many as the Lord our God will call to Himself. And with many other words he solemnly testified and kept on exhorting them saying: "Be saved from this perverse generation!" So then those who had received his word were baptized; and that day there were added about 3,000 souls. They were continually devoting themselves to the apostles' teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and two prayer." These men, these disciples of Jesus Christ, the ones who ran away who denied Him, who were scattered like sheep without a shepherd when they lost their Master, their Shepherd He was taken up into heaven, they were all on there own, but He had promised them a Comforter to be with them. He promised them the Holy Spirit and the Holy Spirit that was that was given on the day of Pentecost filled them with power and with boldness. The same Peter who ran away when a little girl asked him whether he was of Jesus, the same man was full of the power of the Holy Spirit and with boldness he explained to these people what had happened, that the Holy Spirit of God had been given that that which the prophet Joel had prophesied about the outpouring of the Holy Spirit that that had taken place and that the Holy Spirit would be poured out on all flesh on all those who call in the name of the Lord, not just on some. And on that same day those who believed, who repented and who were baptized in water, received that same Holy Spirit power, they also spoke in tongues. When we read the rest of the book of Acts and the New Testament we see that wherever the gospel of Jesus Christ was preached and people accepted Him,repented and were baptized, they yearned for, they sought after and they received this glorious Holy Spirit. They were endowed with power from above. They were witnesses for Jesus. His apostles went on to die for Him and many of those who accepted Jesus were persecuted, they were killed for the name of Jesus but they had the power to continue; they had the power, even under persecution to witness for Jesus, to stand for Jesus, they had the power. Why? Because they had the Holy Spirit.
Today we have a lot of professing Christians with Bible knowledge and wisdom of their own but they don't have the power of the Holy Spirit; they cannot stop sinning, they cannot stand against the wiles of the devil. They are conformed to the world, but they don't have power. It is because they never received the Holy Spirit; they don't have the power of God in them. If we do not have the power of the Holy Spirit we cannot be witnesses for Jesus; we cannot stand for Him. We need that power of the Holy Spirit in us and we need to be filled with the Spirit; we need to have His Spirit flowing through us, streams of living water so that we can bring life to this world, be light in darkness.
Most professing Christians are darkness; they are just like the world. They go after the things of the world. They are just deceived and they think they have salvation, but they're not overcomers. We have to overcome evil, we have to overcome ourselves, we have to deny our self and go after Jesus Christ. We need the POWER of the Holy Spirit. It is not an optional extra; it is a requirement. Without the Holy Spirit we cannot follow Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit will guide us into all truth and tell us things to come, the Holy Spirit will reveal Jesus Christ to us, will reveal His will to us. We cannot bear fruit if we do not remain in Christ. You cannot be in Christ if the Spirit of Christ is not in you and if you do not follow the guidance of the Spirit of Christ. Then you're on your own, you're running after your mind and you cannot please God. And every branch in Christ that does not bear fruit will get cut off and burned. You need the power of the Holy Spirit, you need the baptism of the Holy Spirit.
All those who receive the baptism in the Holy Spirit have the ability to speak in tongues; they speak mysteries to God and the Spirit of God flows through them, the power of God works through them because they are filled with the Spirit, the Spirit of the Living God resides in them. If you have not received the baptism in the Holy Spirit and the ability the supernatural ability to speak in tongues at any time, you have not received the Holy Spirit.
Dear friend, it was promised to everybody, to all those who believe. Jesus promised the Holy Spirit will be poured out on all flesh, all those who believe and who accept Him, nobody excluded, only those who believe and accept Him The world cannot receive the Holy Spirit.
Those who do not believe and obey Jesus Christ cannot receive the Holy Spirit and they do not belong to Him. If we do not have the Spirit of Christ we do not belong to Him; we are not His children and we are part of His kingdom.
Have you received the Holy Spirit? Is the Spirit of Christ dwelling in you and are you being led by the Spirit of God. Those who are being led by the Spirit of God, they are the children of God. Do you have His Spirit? Is He dwelling in you and are you following Him? Are you truly a child of God? Do you have the power to overcome, the power to resist the devil, the power to endure with Jesus until the end and not deny Him? You need that power or else you will not make it into the kingdom of God? Only those who endure with Jesus Christ until the very end, only they will be saved.
May Jesus bless you.

Be Light in Darkness



Jesus Christ is the Light of the world and He enlightens every person who accepts Him and who follows Him.  Jesus Christ is the One who baptizes in the Holy Spirit. His Spirit dwells in those who follow Him. Those who are His true disciples, they are the Light of the World. They enlighten the world. They bring them to truth, to Jesus Christ and to Eternal Life.

If we are not the Light of the World and if the Spirit of Christ does not dwell in us then we ourselves are darkness and we are not part of the Kingdom of God.

Does the Light of Jesus Christ shine in and through us  and enlighten us and do we in turn enlighten the world and bring them to Eternal Life?

Light shines in darkness and darkness will not overcome it. If we are not Light we ourselves are darkness. Many professing Christians are darkness, they are not Light. They are like the world, they are blind and doomed and LOST. Those who truly follow Jesus Christ are enlightened by Christ and they enlighten the world. Are we Light bringers in this world?

may Jesus bless you.

You ask me how I know He lives
He lives within my heart.


May Jesus bless you.

What we talk about


From the fullness of the heart speaks the mouth. What do we talk about? What is in our hearts? Do we whine and complain? Do we talk about other people? Do we talk about ourselves? Do we talk about TV, sports, our church, the Bible? Or do we talk about Jesus? Are we witnesses for Jesus? Or are other things more important in our lives?
If we truly follow Jesus Christ we will only talk about Jesus. Are we truly children of God and witnesses for Jesus Christ? What is in our hearts? What is on our mind and what do we talk about?

May Jesus bless you.
