Many people say that they believe in Jesus, and profess to be Christians, but they do not know Him, nor follow Him. Their faith is in vain, because they will not enter heaven.
Jesus said:"Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22Many 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 7:21-23.
Many believers only believe in Jesus but they do not know Him, neither does He know them. We only get to know Jesus if we obey His words, as also recorded in the gospels Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, because if we obey Jesus then He reveals Himself to us.
Do you know Jesus? Do you obey Him and follow Him? Have repented and been baptized in water? Have you received the Holy Spirit that Jesus promised to those who love Him? Has Jesus revealed Himself to you and do you know Him? Does Jesus know you, or will He say to you:"I never knew you; depart from Me, you worker of lawlessness."?
Churches do not teach holiness any more. They teach believers to be lawless. They twist the scriptures to deceive the people. They twist the words of Paul and encourage believers to continue living in sin because they say that since believing in Jesus they are under grace, not under law.
The apostle Jude wrote in Jude 1:4"For certain men have crept in among you unnoticed — ungodly ones who were designated long ago for condemnation. They turn the grace of our God into a license for immorality, and they deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ."
Jesus said: 21“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter. 22“Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?’ 23“And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS.’ Matthew 7:21
Without holiness no man shall see God. Lawless sinning believers will end up in hell. Do not be deceived by the false paid preachers in the worldly churches. If you keep on sinning you will end up in hell with them.
Church organizations and religious leaders do not care for the kingdom of God. They care for themselves and their organizations. Religion thrives on money. So called Christian churches and preachers use the Bible to advance their own agenda. They twist the scriptures and use them to manipulate believers to fulfill their selfish satanic objectives. They seek for popularity and the approval of people, not for truth nor the approval of God.
Paid preachers and organized churches follow their own agenda. They do not know nor follow Jesus Christ. They do not make disciples of Jesus Christ. They make proselytes that follow the church agenda. Churches fight against each other for members, stealing sheep from each other. It is all about membership which means money, tithes and offerings, membership fees. Jesus spoke of them saying:"Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, because you travel around on sea and land to make one proselyte; and when he becomes one, you make him twice as much a son of hell as yourselves."Matthew 23:15. That is what they are, sons of hell. They do not know nor follow Jesus Christ. They are Antichrist. Flee from them. Do not be part of them. Do not associate with them.
The kingdom of God is not about church. Jesus is not interested in your church, which church denomination or group you belong to. What matters is whether you know Jesus and whether He knows you, whether He is pleased with you.
The only way to have eternal life is to follow and obey Jesus Christ, to follow Him not preachers, to belong to Him, not to a church.
Jesus will say to most believers, church members, followers of men:"Go away, I never knew you, you workers of iniquity." They are sinners, followers of men, sons of hell.
Evaluate your relationship with Jesus. Do you know Him? Do you know His voice and do you follow Him? Are you one of His sheep? Or do you run after preachers and belong to a church?
Who are you following? Jesus or men? Where are you heading? Heaven or hell?
The moment you decide to follow Jesus you are getting into a fight with the devil, and there is only going to be one winner, you or him. You cannot win a boxing match by staying in your corner or by being on the retreat and defense all the time.
Most Christians are being battered by satan. They are not even trying to fight back. They have given up. Others expect Jesus to protect them and to do the fighting for them.
If you want salvation, you have to overcome You have to overcome satan and you have to overcome your own flesh. You have to stop sinning and go after Jesus, follow and obey Him, build the kingdom of of God, destroy the kingdom of satan and bring souls to Jesus.
Many believers cannot even stop sinning. They are defeated by satan before they even start.
Without Jesus you cannot win. Without Jesus you cannot make it, but you have to take action, You have to stay close to Jesus and be led by the Holy Spirit. First you have to defeat the devil.
How do you defeat the devil? James 4:7 "Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 8Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. 9Grieve, mourn, and weep. Turn your laughter to mourning, and your joy to gloom. 10Humble yourselves before the Lord, and He will exalt you."
Are you winning every day? Are you destroying the kingdom of satan, witnessing for Jesus, bringing souls to Him? Or are you cowering in a corner? Are you compromizing with the world and with satan? You do not overcome by being soft on yourself and being friendly with the world, being a compromizer. You cannot party with the world today and preach Jesus tomorrow. James 4:4 "You adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is hostility toward God? Therefore, whoever chooses to be a friend of the world renders himself an enemy of God."
Stop being double-minded. If Jesus is your Lord, follow Him.
If you follow Jesus He leads you to victory. If you are not winning, you are not following Jesus. Get into action. Submit yourself to Jesus. Stand for righteousness. Stand for truth. Be a warrior, an overcomer, a saint. Fight the good fight every day and start winning. Win every day.
Are you serious about getting into heaven? Get Into Action. Start Winning and keep on winning, until the end. Salvation is for winners only, those who overcome.
Many people only believe in Jesus. They do not know Him, nor follow and obey Him. They are independent. They think they can get into heaven by their faith, their own power and their own wisdom. They practice their own form of Christianity, following their own doctrines, made up from selected verses from the Bible, using their own flavor and interpretation.
What these people do not realize is that without Jesus we can do nothing. Without Jesus we will not find the narrow door that leads to eternal life. Jesus Christ Himself is the way, the truth and the life. He Himself, guides His sheep through His Holy Spirit that He gives in them. They listen to His voice and they follow Him, because they know Him. They do not listen to strangers. They hold on to Him, not onto their Bibles, a church or a pastor or a set of doctrines. Their only desire is Jesus. They follow Him every day, where He guides them and they do His will, that which He tells them to do,
Are you holding on to Jesus? Do you follow Him only? Are you one of His sheep?
Many people have been told to believe in Jesus for salvation, but you need to WALK WITH Jesus, to have salvation. Believing in Jesus will not save you if you do not obey and follow Him.
We read in John 1:12"But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name, 13who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God." Not all believers are children of God, because not all believers are born again. Not all believers have received Jesus as Lord and Master.
To those who receive Jesus and who receive and obey His words, He gives the POWER to become children of God. Those who believe in Him, repent and are baptized in water, they are born again, those who obey His words as they are also recorded in Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Jesus baptizes in the Holy Spirit. He baptizes those who obey Him. He gives His Holy Spirit in them, to be with them, to teach and guide them, so that they can follow Him, and walk with Him.
"Those who are being led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God," they are children of God. (Romans 8:14).
Many people are believers. They have a church, and a Bible, and a pastor, and they believe they have salvation, but they do not have Jesus. They never accepted Him, never obeyed Him, were never born again, never knew Him, never followed Him, never walked with Him. They believe in Jesus like they believe in father Christmas and ghosts, and halloween. To them Jesus is a story, a myth, a fable.
Many just walk with their Bible, in their head and under their arm, or nowadays, in their smart phone, but they don't have Jesus. They do not know Him. They are lost and doomed.
You need to accept Jesus, obey Him, be born again, filled with the Holy Spirit, and follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit to be able to walk with Jesus.
Do you have Jesus? Have you been born again? Do you have His Holy Spirit in you? Do you walk with Him, follow Him, every day? Are you a child of God or just a believer?
Those who are born again followers of Jesus, and have received the Holy Spirit must follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit to be fruitful and pleasing to Jesus. We must not follow our own mind and the opinions of others. We must get our guidance from Jesus, through the Holy Spirit.
We have to get in tune with Jesus and stay in tune with Him every day to be able to follow Him. Without Jesus we can do nothing.
How do you get in tune with Jesus? You have to be born again. Repent, turn away from sin and from following your own mind. Turn to Jesus. Repent on your knees, pray, cry out to Jesus to accept you. Ask forgiveness for your past sin and for Him to make you new inside, a child of God. Then take action, change your ways, stop sinning, clean up your life, keep your mind on Jesus, not on yourself and your own desires. Obey the teachings of Jesus as they are recorded in Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Be baptized in water as Jesus commanded. Jesus promised the Holy Spirit, His Spirit, to be in and with those who obey Him. The Holy Spirit will guide us into all truth, will guide us in all things. Pray, ask Jesus to fill you with the Holy Spirit.
Spend time in prayer. Pray to Jesus. Ask Him to baptize you with the Holy Spirit, to put His mind in you. Praise Him, thank Him for His goodness to you. Yearn for Him, seek His presence in you. Ask Him to fill your mind with His thoughts, His guidance. Keep praying. Jesus will fill you with streams of living water. He will give His peace in you, peace that surpasses all human understanding. You will go out from there and feel encapsulated with the presence of Jesus. You will experience Him all day, but you have to stay in tune with Him, keep Him in your mind. Pray in your mind and He will guide your mind and your footsteps. He will keep you from stumbling and falling into sin. He will lead you into His ways. He will guide you in your daily tasks, school, work and family.
You have to stay in tune with Jesus, every day. Pray every day, tune in every day and stay tuned in all day. Do not allow yourself to be distracted by the things of the world, by temptation, sin, friends and entertainment, TV, movies, video games and social media. Pray in your mind and ask Jesus guidance in everything. Do not be anxious. Do not stress. Trust in Jesus, stay tuned in to Jesus and you will experience His peace even though things go rough. He will guide you, but you must stay with Him.
You cannot make it into heaven on your own. You have to stay tuned to Jesus. Follow and obey Him. He will guide you every step of the way. Are you tuned in to Jesus, today?
There is a false teaching being preached and believed by many, that because of Jesus dying on the cross, all those who profess to believe in Him will be saved. That is not the gospel of Jesus Christ. It is a lie.
Jesus Christ is the only way. The only way to have eternal life is to obey Jesus Christ. Believing in Jesus, means to believe who He is and therefor to obey Him, His commands, His teachings as they were also recorded in Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Faith without action is dead. If we do not obey Jesus our faith is worthless.
No sinners will go into heaven. Jesus came to take away the sins of the world. He takes away the guilt of the sin, of those who accept and obey Him, repent, stop sinning and are baptized in water. They are cleansed of their sin, but then they have to SIN NO MORE. If they return to sin, they will perish. The wages of sin is death.
Those who believe in Jesus must live according to His teachings. They have to do good, bear good fruit. If they do not bear good fruit, they will get cut off and burned, they will end up in hell. We can only bear good fruit if we obey Jesus and stay with Him. If we love Him, we will obey Him and He will come and dwell in us, with us. He will give His Holy Spirit in us to guide and teach us, but we must obey Him, stay with Him, until the end.
Those who sin and those who do not bear good fruit will not enter heaven. What you do will determine whether you go into heaven or into hell. The apostle Paul wrote in Romans 2:6 "God, 6who WILL RENDER TO EACH PERSON ACCORDING TO HIS DEEDS: 7to those who by perseverance in doing good seek for glory and honor and immortality, eternal life; 8but to those who are selfishly ambitious and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, wrath and indignation. 9There will be tribulation and distress for every soul of man who does evil, of the Jew first and also of the Greek, 10but glory and honor and peace to everyone who does good, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. 11For there is no partiality with God."
Obey the truth. Obey Jesus Christ and DO as He commanded, and you will live.
The very same as you should not open the door of your house to any stranger, you must not open the door of your heart to evil. If you do, they will come in and destroy you.
If you open your heart to temptation, lust, envy, jealousy, evil desires, rage, pride, self pity, anxiety, fear, animosity, hatred, enmity, doubt and other demonic influences, then you have allowed them in and given them legal right to live in you. They will entangle and enslave you so that you will not be able to exercise your free will any more. In the end they will control you and cause you to do things that you do not want to do, that will destroy your life and cause you to end up in hell.
Jesus said:"Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who commits sin is the slave of sin."John 8:34 The wages of sin is death. Jesus came to set men free from the bondage of sin and addictions. “So if the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed."John 8:36. If you accept Jesus and invite Him into your life, He will set
you free from the bondage of sin, but then you have to reject and evict those evil forces that you invited into your heart.
Once Jesus has set you free, if you open the door to the devil and his demons, they will come in and enslave you again, and you will be worse off than before. Jesus said:"43“Now when the unclean spirit goes out of a man, it passes through waterless places seeking rest, and does not find it. 44“Then it says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came’; and when it comes, it finds it unoccupied, swept, and put in order. 45“Then it goes and takes along with it seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and live there; and the last state of that man becomes worse than the first. That is the way it will also be with this evil generation.”Matthew 12:42.
That is why Christian believers who once accepted Jesus, were set free from the bondage of sin, and then opened the door to sin, often become worse sinners than they were before. Many have been deceived to think that they are saved, even if they go back to sin. They will perish if they do not find repentance and deliverance from their sin. If you sin you will burn. No sinners will enter heaven.
Do not open the door to satan. If you have become entangled in sin and addictions again, you need to run back to Jesus. Only Jesus can set you free. The apostle James wrote:"Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 8Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. 9Grieve, mourn, and weep. Turn your laughter to mourning, and your joy to gloom. 10Humble yourselves before the Lord, and He will exalt you."James 4:7.
Do not open the door to satan. Do not become conformed to the world. Do not watch TV and movies. Do not watch pornography. Do not participate in the same senseless sinful entertainment that the sinners do, in drinking and parties. Do not waste your money on sports. Do not play video games. You will be trapped by the devil. Be holy. Avoid temptation. Keep your mind clean, reserve it for Jesus. We read in James 4:4 "You adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is hostility toward God? Therefore, whoever chooses to be a friend of the world renders himself an enemy of God. 5Or do you think the Scripture says without reason that the Spirit He caused to dwell in us yearns with envy?" If you open the door to the devil, he will come in and destroy you and you will end up in hell.
Invite Jesus in, invite His Holy Spirit to dwell in you. Pray, seek Him, listen to Him, follow and obey Him. Reserve yourself for Jesus and do what is pleasing to Him. Stay with Jesus and you will stay free. Do not open the door to satan.
God does not work through the multitudes, or through organizations. He works through individuals whom He calls and who are willing to follow Him in faith, listening to His voice, obeying Him and doing what He tells them to do. In the end the glory goes to God, because He does not share His glory with anyone.
God does not use cowards or conformists, those who look for strength in numbers, those who are always looking for human fellowship, those who go with the flow, popular opinion and convention. That is why most Christian believers are not suitable for the kingdom of heaven. They are not willing to follow Jesus. They want to join a group, a church, be part of the establishment. They want to associate with something that is accepted and recognized by the world. They are not willing to follow Jesus and be associated with Him.
God never works through great numbers, neither through cowards. All throughout history He used and still does use the champions, brave men and women of faith, who trust in Him.
You have to be willing to totally put your trust in Jesus and follow Him. If you obey Jesus, repent and are baptized, He will give His Holy Spirit in you to teach and guide you, every step of the way, but you have to trust Him and stay with Him all the way, every day, until the end. "The world is passing away, and also its lusts; but the one who does the will of God lives forever." 1 John 2:17. You can only do the will of God, if you trust and follow Jesus, under guidance of the Holy Spirit.
Are you willing to put your trust in Jesus, and follow Him, or do you want to go along with the world that is passing away?
