Thanksgiving
God is good to all people especially to the righteous. The favor and the blessings of God are in the house of those who walk in righteousness, but the curse of God is on the house of the wicked.
Today is Thanksgiving in the U.S. and people have received many blessings from God, but not all of us express our thanks to you Him. Many have turned their back on Him, many shun Him, reject Him and mock Him.
We must give thanks to God and thank Him you for everything that we have so undeservedly received from His hand, or else He will turn His hand against us, His curse will come on us, and we might not enjoy the same privileges and the same blessings that we have received from Him in the past.
Thank Jesus, praising Him, give Him glory. If we deny Him, He will certainly also deny us. If we reject Him then He will leave us to our own devices.
The choice is ours whether we want Jesus in our lives, or not and those who reject Him will be sorely disappointed. Thanked Him and praise Him, give Him glory and honor because Jesus Christ is King of kings and the Lord of lords. Let us mend our ways and live in righteousness and holiness. Let us seek the favor of the King, Jesus Christ so that we can have peace and prosperity, because those who reject Jesus Christ will be in suffering and in darkness.
May Jesus bless you.

Get rid of your treasures and follow Jesus
Jesus Christ said that it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of heaven. That is it because a rich man does not have any need of God, he himself supplies in all his needs therefor, why will he ask God for anything. The same applies to religious people. It is almost impossible for a religious person to enter into the kingdom of God. The same applies to people who have been born into Christianity, those who have grown up as Christians. Very few of them will ever enter the kingdom of heaven because they trust in the doctrines, their religion, their teachings that they have been brought up in. To them and that is their security.
Many trust in their Bible knowledge, their interpretation or understanding of the Bible; but they have no knowledge of Jesus Christ. Neither will they accept the guidance of the Holy Spirit. They are rich in themselves, with the knowledge, the doctrine, and the brainwashing that they have grown into. That is their treasure. Unless we are willing to give up everything to follow Jesus Christ, our earthly treasures, our treasures of knowledge and religious theory, teachings; unless we are willing to regard all of that as garbage, trash, and totally trust in Jesus we will never follow Him, we will never know Him.
Religious people are unteachable. They are even unteachable to God. They refuse to listen to the Holy Spirit, they refuse to be taught by Jesus Himself and that is why most professing religious Christians will end up in hell. They will never know Jesus Christ, they will never learn from Him. We have to regard everything as trash and discard of it in order to be receptive for Jesus Christ. We have to seek Him above all things, ask Him to teach and guide us. If we distrust Him, if we want to test Him, test the Holy Spirit, against our
Bible knowledge, we are not worthy of Him, we do not trust Him; and such people will
never follow Jesus Christ. There are many religious people are like that in churches today,they are sufficient in themselves and they think they have salvation, but they do not have Jesus Christ. They will perish in their own deception.
Give up all your treasures, subject yourself to Jesus stand before Him as a pauper, let Him teach you, let Him guide you and you will have wisdom and understanding, you will get to know Jesus Christ for real.
May Jesus bless you.

Bearing fruitful for the Kingdom of God
Jesus Christ said that every branch in Him that does not bear fruit will get cut off and burned. Now obviously, we first need to become grafted into the True Vine, into Jesus Christ, Himself before we can even be cut off, before we can be severed from Him. He is here talking about those who are born again, those who are children of God. We cannot be fruitful for the kingdom of God if we do not hear His voice, if we do not receive instruction from Him, because Jesus said:"My sheep hear My voice and
they follow Me." How can we receive instruction from Him if we do not hear His voice? Therefore we must first become born-again children of God, who hear the voice of God, before we can get cut off. Most believers are not children of God, they are just believers; they believe in what they do not know. They do not know Jesus Christ, they do not follow Him and they do not obey Him. Their hope of salvation is in vain, because they are not truly children of God. How do we become children of God?
We become children of God by obeying the gospel of Jesus Christ; that is the words of Jesus that He delivered, as also recorded in the Gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. If we obey the gospel of Jesus Christ, we will be born again, we will be children of God, who hear His voice and who can follow His instruction. What is the gospel of Jesus Christ? Repent and be baptized in water and you will receive the baptism in the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of God dwelling in you, to guide you, to teach you, and to instruct you, and only then can you follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit, only then can you bear fruit for the kingdom of God. Most believers are not born again. Most believers do not know Jesus Christ. We first have to obey the gospel of Jesus Christ, repent and live according to His words, that which he commanded how we should live. Go and read the words of Jesus in Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John; that is his commands; and if we obey His commands then we will be born again. If we repent and be baptized in water, and He will make us new inside. We will be new creatures and if we wait on Him, seek Him with all our heart, hunger and thirst for Him, He will give the Holy Spirit in us, as He did to the first believers on the day of Pentecost. You will receive the baptism in the Holy Spirit just like the disciples did on the day of Pentecost. Those who are being led by the Spirit of God, they are the children of God. If we are not born again and if we have not been baptized in water, been baptized in the Holy Spirit, then we will not hear His voice. If we do not keep on seeking and listening to Him, we will not receive instruction from Him, and we cannot bear fruit for His kingdom. How can we serve a person, how can we serve a God whom we do not now, whose voice we do not know? How can we be part of the Vine if we are not grafted in. Most believers are not grafted into the Vine, because they do not obey the gospel of Jesus Christ; they do not obey His commands.
Jesus said that "the one who has My commands and keeps them, is the one who loves me, and Me and My father will come and dwell with him and I will disclose myself to him." These words are recorded in John chapter 14, go and read it for yourself. If we obey the gospel of Jesus Christ, His commands, He will reveal Himself to us. He will speak to us. He will instruct us. He gives the Holy Spirit in us, to guide us into all truth. Without Jesus Christ dwelling in us, without His Holy Spirit guiding us, we cannot be pleasing to Him, we cannot bear fruit for the kingdom of God, we cannot be pleasing to God. We need to be born again of the Spirit of God, and led by the Spirit of God to be children of God. Go and read Romans chapter 8 verse 14, Paul said:" those who are being led by the Spirit of God, they are the children of God. " Those who do not have the Spirit of Christ, the Holy Spirit, they do not belong to Him. They cannot hear His voice.
Many believers say they cannot hear His voice, it is because they do not obey His commandments, they do not live according to His words, they do not live in holiness and righteousness. They have never repented their, sin they have never been baptized in water, they never sought the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. They are in disobedience to Jesus Christ, and therefore He will not reveal Himself to them. Most believers are not born again.
Are we born again? Do we know His voice? Do we receive instruction from Him and are we bearing fruit for the kingdom of God? Every born-again child of God must bear fruit for His kingdom or else, according to the words of Jesus, such a child, such a branch, will get cut off and burned. We must build the kingdom of God, and we can only build the kingdom of God if we follow the instructions of the Master. I'm not talking about reading your Bible, I'm not talking about being religious. I'm talking about having the Spirit of Christ dwelling in us, being guided by the Spirit and doing what Jesus instructs us to do. We have to be fruitful in the kingdom of God.
Are we born again? Have we been grafted into the Vine? Are we bearing fruit for the kingdom of God because we follow the guidance and instruction of the Holy Spirit?
May Jesus bless you.

Answer To The Call
Jesus Christ said that many are called but few are chosen. Some of those who are chosen by Jesus to follow Him are not following the calling, they are not doing what Jesus called them to do. The calling and the gifts of God are irrevocable. If Jesus has called you, you must answer to the call because if you do not answer that is disobedience, and you will end up in hell. Every branch in Him that does not bear fruit will get cut off and
burned. You must answer to the call.
Many of those who have been called are being prevented from answering to the call by other things; it could be a spouse, a girlfriend, a boyfriend, maybe their occupation, stumbling blocks in the way of them following Jesus Christ,your friends. Jesus Christ will remove those stumbling blocks; if a wife or a spouse, or a job, or an ambition, is standing in your way of following Him and answering to the call, He will remove those things if they persist, they keep one standing in your way.
Jesus is a jealous God, and when He calls, us we must answer. We have to answer to that call because Jesus will not turn back on His call. You either follow Him or you will perish. There's only one way to have eternal life and that is to obey the Master. He
will remove all the stumbling blocks and He will cut off all the unfruitful branches. Those who have been called must answer to that call and do the task, the job that Jesus called them for, or else they will perish. Answer to His call, follow Him with all your heart. He will guide you every step of the way. Do not let anything stand in your way. Follow the Master and follow His calling, do his work. Do not delay.
May Jesus bless you.

God's Way or No Way
There is only one person
who will decide whether you and I enter into the kingdom of heaven
and that is Jesus Christ. There is only one way that we will enter
His kingdom and that is if we know Him and we obey Him. Many people
believe in Jesus but they do not obey Him. Jesus Christ said:"Why
do you call me Lord, Lord and you do not what I say?" If we call
Jesus Christ our Lord we must obey Him. Jesus Christ does not care
for your version of the Bible, for your church denomination. All that
matters to Jesus is whether we obey Him, whether we truly know Him.

Jesus Christ Himself
delivered His words, the gospel of Jesus Christ. He came to this
earth and He preached the Way; He Himself is the way. Those who
disobey Him will perish. There is only one way to be pleasing to God
and that is to obey Jesus Christ. Jesus said:"Follow Me,. obey
My words." Jesus calls us to go after Him, to live our lives in
obedience to His words, to repent of sin and unrighteousness and to
be baptized in water for the washing off of our sin. If we obey Jesus
Christ then He will reveal Himself to us, we will know Him for real.
If we disobey Him we will perish. The words of Jesus are very clear,
they are recorded in the Gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Go
and read those words and obey them. Many people have their own
opinions and beliefs,their own doctrines. Jesus said:"It is in
vain that you honor me teaching as doctrines the precepts of men."
Jesus is not interested in our opinion. All that matters to Him is
whether we truly love Him, and if we love Him we will obey Him. If we
disobey Him we will perish. Jesus will say to most believers:"Go
away I never knew you," because they never knew I never obeyed
Him, they never sought after Him; they believed they had salvation
but they believed a lie, they did not know Jesus.

Do you know Jesus Christ?
Do you follow and obey Him every day? There is only one way to enter

Do you know the WAY? Are you on that way? Or will you be terribly
disappointed when Jesus refuses you and says to you: "Go away I
never knew you."? Get to know Jesus today, before it is forever
to late.

The ESSENCE of Salvation
The essence of the hope of salvation is our relationship with Jesus Christ. If we do not know Jesus Christ for real and we do not have a real relationship with Him, then we have no hope of eternal life, we have no hope of salvation. It all depends on our daily relationship with Jesus Christ, our walk with Him.
How real is our relationship with Jesus? Our relationship with Jesus Christ only becomes real when we put our faith into action and our faith in Jesus comes into action when we obey His words. Jesus said: "Why do you call me Lord, Lord and you do not what I say." Jesus said:"The one who loves Me is the one who obeys My commands." If we obey the gospel of Jesus Christ, then He will reveal Himself to us, we will know Him for real, but we have to obey His words; we have to obey the gospel of Jesus Christ, the words that He preached, that He personally delivered to this world. The words that Jesus spoke are recorded in the Gospels Matthew Mark, Luke and John. Jesus commands us to repent and to be baptized in water, to obey His commands, and then we will be made new inside, we will be born again of the Spirit of God. That only happens if we obey Him. Jesus Christ promised the Holy Spirit to come and dwell in those who obey Him. They will live in communion with Jesus Christ. They will know Him for real. They will hear His voice and they will follow Him every day.
Very few people who call themselves Christians have that relationship with Jesus Christ. Many Christians keep themselves busy with the Bible; they occupy themselves with end-time prophecy, they run after preachers, they listen to the revelations of men, but it does not bring them closer to Jesus. We need to have a personal revelation of Jesus Christ every day. We need to have a real relationship with Jesus. If your relationship with Jesus is not real you have no hope of salvation, even though you believe that you are saved. The only way that we will know Jesus for real is if we truly believe in Him and therefore obey His words, seek Him with all our heart, and He will reveal Himself to us. We have to maintain that relationship every day until the very end.
How real is our relationship with Jesus Christ? It is a walk, it is a relationship, it is not a philosophy. It is all about whether Jesus Christ knows me and whether I truly know Him, whether I serve Him as Lord and as Master and whether He approves of me; and the only One who can tell me whether He is pleased with me, is Jesus Christ Himself. He can speak. Seek Jesus with all your heart and He will reveal Himself to you. It is to know avail to seek Jesus with other people, to seek Him in the Bible, or in other places. You can only hear about Him from other people, you can only read about Him in the Bible but you need to seek Jesus for yourself. If you go on your knees and you cry out to Him and you seek Him with all your heart. He will reveal Himself to you. Seek Jesus and make sure that your relationship with Him is real; today and every day until the very end. It is a walk it is a relationship. Seek Jesus now.
May Jesus bless you.
