about what the Bible says, because that is what they have been
taught. That is what is real to them. What really matters is what
Jesus says, what He said and what He is saying today.
Many things are written in the Bible.
The Bible is a book of many words but the only words that lead to
eternal life are the words of Jesus, the words that He spoke as they
were also recorded in the gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, the
Red Letter words, in some Bibles.
The only way to have eternal life is to
obey Jesus, to do what He commanded and taught.
Jesus Christ is the Word of God, not
the Bible, as so many wrongly believe. The words of Jesus are harsh
and therefor they are rejected by men. At one stage the followers of
Jesus were offended at His words, of what He said. “Because of this
many of His disciples withdrew and were not walking with Him
anymore. So Jesus said to the twelve, “You do not want to go
away also, do you?” Simon Peter answered Him, “Lord, to whom
shall we go? You have words of eternal life.” John 6:66-68.
Jesus has the words of eternal life,
not the rest of the Bible. The Jews rejected Jesus, they were the
pharisees, teachers of the Law of Moses, the Torah. They rejected the
words of Jesus and therefor He said to them:”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.
Even so today, Christians are busy with
Bible study because they think that if they do Bible study they will
have eternal life, but they reject and disobey the words of Jesus
that are also recorded in their Bibles.
If we come to Jesus, He will reveal
Himself to us. If we obey His words, His commands, we will be born
again and become children of God who hear His voice, who know Him and
follow Him. Obey Jesus, repent, stop sinning, be baptized in water,
be holy, seek Him with all your heart and He will reveal Himself to
you. He will speak to you, teach and guide you and if you stay with
Him, every day, until the end, He will give you eternal life.
Jesus said:”My sheep hear My voice,
and I know them, and they follow Me; 28and I give eternal life
to them, and they will never perish; and no one will snatch them out
of My hand. “John 10:27 What is Jesus saying to you today? Do
you know Him? Do you go after Him? Do you hear His voice and do you
follow Him? Are you one of His sheep?
are the words of Jesus, the RED LETTER WORDS in some Bibles. The
words of Jesus are the words of Eternal life. Jesus said:”The words
I have spoken to you are spirit and they are life. John 6:63. There
are no other words that lead to eternal life. The words that Jesus
spoke were recorded in the gospels Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.
Those four books are the most important, as well as the book of Acts,
written by Luke, the author of the gospel of Luke.
Without Jesus, there is no hope of
salvation, not just believing in Him but in knowing, following and
obeying Him. He told us how to know Him, and His words were recorded
in the gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. We can know ABOUT Jesus
by reading the gospels but we can only know HIM by OBEYING His words,
because if we OBEY His commandments He will disclose Himself to us;
He will reveal Himself to us, speak to us and we will KNOW Him for
real.
Jesus explained to His disciples that
He would not always be with them, that He would be crucified, He
would die and be resurrected, after which He would ascend to heaven
but, that He would not leave them behind as orphans, with nobody to
guide and teach them. He promised the Holy Spirit, which was also
given on the day of Pentecost, that was recorded in detail by Luke in
the book of Acts, chapters 1 and 2. The book of Acts further gives
account of the things that the apostles did under guidance of the
Holy Spirit after receiving receiving Him, on the day of Pentecost.
The rest of the New Testament, the
epistles, writings of the apostles, were letters of encouragement
addressed to the believers who had believed in Jesus as result of
their preaching. The book of Revelation was a revelation of the Lord
Jesus, given to the apostle John.
The Old Testament law, the Torah and
the Prophets were fulfilled with the coming of Jesus. Jesus
said:”The Law and the Prophets were
proclaimed until John. Since that time, the
Gospel of the Kingdom of God is being preached, and
everyone is forcing his way into it.”Luke 16:16.
Those who believe in, accept, and
follow Jesus are NOT under the Law of Moses. They must obey the
commands of Jesus to have eternal life, His teachings, in the
gospels. The sermon on the mount, in Matthew chapters 5 to 7 are most
important, but they are not the only commands of Jesus.
We must note that salvation was from
the Jews, as Jesus said in John 4:22. Jesus came for the Jews as
their Messiah, but they rejected Him. Few accepted Him. He was
crucified by them, as result of their instigation. Because the Jews
rejected Jesus, salvation came to the gentiles. The Law of Moses and
the Prophets were directed at the Jews. They were supposed to keep
the Law of Moses, the Ten Commandments and the other laws given by
Moses, in the Old Testament. That includes the laws about Sabbath and
Tithing, they were for the Jews, under the Law. The Law could not
save. The Law brought death to offenders. “Anyone who has set aside
the Law of Moses dies without mercy on the testimony of two
or three witnesses.”Hebrews 10:28. There was NO MERCY under the Law
of Moses.
Jesus came and preached the gospel of
the Kingdom of God to the Jews, for the Jews, and He Himself took the
sins of the world on Him. Even though He never sinned He was
punished, bruised, crucified, He the innocent, for the guilty, so
that if they REPENT of their evil, stop doing evil, be baptized in
water for the forgiveness of their sin, and OBEY Him, live for Him,
in OBEDIENCE to Him, they could receive PARDON and the HOPE of
eternal life. The Jews rejected this salvation and therefor it was
extended to the gentiles also, not for them to become Jews, but
followers and disciples of Jesus.
After His resurrection, before
ascending to heaven Jesus said to His disciples:”Go therefore and
make disciples of ALL THE NATIONS, baptizing them in the name of the
Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, 20teaching them to
observe all that I commanded you; “Matthew 28:19,20. Those who
follow Jesus obey His gospel, His words, not the Law of Moses in the
Old Testament, they obey His commands.
Jesus brought GRACE, not to sin, but
for those who believe in Him, to repent, stop sinning, obey Jesus,
SIN NO MORE and live in obedience to Him. The person that keeps on
practicing sin and does not follow after Jesus will certainly end up
in hell, if he does not turn from his sin and follow Jesus. We have
to come under the discipline of Jesus and live in obedience to Him to
have eternal life.
Those of us who live in these latter
days have the benefit of Bibles, which the first believers did not
have. Most of them were illiterate, they could not even read. The
first believers did not have Bibles. They were taught the
commandments and teachings of Jesus, by the apostles. They obeyed the
gospel, repented, were baptized in water and received the Holy
Spirit, that Jesus promised to those who obey Him. They were led by
the Holy Spirit. They did not follow after men. They followed Jesus.
The Holy Spirit was promised to ALL
those whom Jesus calls to follow Him, so that they can be led by the
Holy Spirit as Peter also said on the day of Pentecost:”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. 39“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.”Acts 2:38.
We read in the book of Acts how the
born again, Holy Spirit filled apostles and believers were led by the
Holy Spirit. That was written down to serve for us as an example and
to direct and encourage us to follow their example of obedience to
Jesus, to be filled by the Holy Spirit and be guided by Him to do His
will, because without Jesus we can do nothing.
The Holy Spirit is CENTRAL to the life
of the born again Christian. Without following the Holy Spirit
guidance, we cannot bear fruit for the kingdom of God. The first
Christians did not have Bibles, they had the Holy Spirit and they
followed His guidance. Most, if not all professing Christians today
have Bibles but few have the Holy Spirit and even fewer follow His
guidance. Paul wrote in Romans 8:9 “But if anyone does not have the
Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him.” and in Romans 8:14
“For all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of
God.” This indicates that very few professing Christians today,
belong to Jesus. Many believe in Jesus but they do not obey Him, and
do not have His Spirit. They believe they have eternal life, but they
are lost, they do not belong to Jesus.
Those five books, Matthew, Mark, Luke,
John and Acts are the most important books of the Bible. Without
obedience to Jesus and obedience to His words, there is no hope of
salvation.
that the four gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John differ from each
other. I had been taught that the Bible is the Word of God and I
could not understand how there could be differences between the four
gospels. To my mind, if it was the Word of God then there should not
be any differences between the four gospels because God does not
speak with four tongues.
What I did not understand was that the
four gospels were written by four different writers, who gave account
of what happened when Jesus came. These four books were written after
the events, from the testimony and witnesses of some who walked with
Jesus and also from the eyewitnesses that heard Jesus speak and saw
what happened during that time. To better understand this we read the
first verses of the gospel of Luke, who was also the author of the
book of Acts. The gospel of Luke was addressed to a certain
Theophilus. He wrote Luke 1:1-4:” 1Inasmuch as many have
undertaken to compile an account of the things accomplished among
us, 2just as they were handed down to us by those who from the
beginning were eyewitnesses and servants of the word, 3it seemed
fitting for me as well, having investigated everything carefully from
the beginning, to write it out for you in consecutive order,
most excellent Theophilus; 4so that you may know the exact truth
about the things you have been taught.” He then goes on to write
the rest of the gospel of Luke. The same man, Luke also wrote the
book of Acts, We read his introduction in Acts 1:1-5 “ 1The
first account I composed, Theophilus, about all that Jesus began to
do and teach, 2until the day when He was taken up to
heaven, after He had by the Holy Spirit given orders to the
apostles whom He had chosen. 3To these He also presented Himself
alive after His suffering, by many convincing proofs, appearing to
them over a period of forty days and speaking of the things
concerning the kingdom of God. 4Gathering them together, He
commanded them not to leave Jerusalem, but to wait for what the
Father had promised, “Which,” He said, “you heard of
from Me; 5for John baptized with water, but you will be baptized
with the Holy Spirit not many days from now.” He then goes on to
write the rest of the book of Acts. Note that He writes in Luke 1:2,3
“just as they were handed down to us by those who from the
beginning were eyewitnesses and servants of the word, 3it seemed
fitting for me as well, having investigated everything carefully from
the beginning, to write it out for you in consecutive order,
most excellent Theophilus;” Thus was written and preserved for us
the gospel of Luke and the book of Acts, written by Luke, not by God.
In the same way the other three gospels
Matthew, Mark and John were written, but by no means was everything
that Jesus said and did recorded and written down in the Bible, like
so many Bible scholars and preachers allege. The writer of the gospel
of John writes in John 21: 24,25”This is the disciple who is
testifying to these things and wrote these things, and we know that
his testimony is true. 25And there are also many other things
which Jesus did, which if they were written in detail, I suppose that
even the world itself would not contain the books that would be
written.” Jesus also said to His disciples:” 12“I have
many more things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. 13“But
when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the
truth; for He will not speak on His own initiative, but whatever He
hears, He will speak; and He will disclose to you what is to
come. 14“He will glorify Me, for He will take of Mine and will
disclose it to you. 15“All things that the Father
has are Mine; therefore I said that He takes of Mine and will
disclose it to you.”John 16:12-15.
Jesus was talking about the Holy
Spirit, that was promised, and was given on the day of Pentecost,
that we read about also in the book of Acts 1 and 2. After Jesus
ascended to heaven the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Christ was given to
guide those who believe in Jesus and who obey His words, repent and
be baptized in water. The Holy Spirit will guide every Spirit filled
believer into all truth.
The words of Jesus are the words of
eternal life, to those who believe in Him and obey His commands and
teachings. They were recorded by four different people so that we
have four witnesses that confirm and verify the birth, acts, miracles
and words of Jesus. These writings lead us to faith in Jesus, but we
must take action and put works to our faith, obey Jesus, then He will
reveal Himself to us as real and we will know Him for real. He will
give of His Spirit, the Holy Spirit, in us to lead and guide us.
Jesus promised this as also recorded in John 14:21“He who has My
commandments and keeps them is the one who loves Me; and he who loves
Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and will disclose
Myself to him.”
We can study the scriptures to learn
about Jesus and His commands, which we have to obey to have eternal
live. But that is not enough, we have to obey Jesus, repent and be
baptized, seek Him in prayer and live according to His commands, then
He will baptize us in the Holy Spirit. He will guide and teach us in
all things, through His Spirit but we have to follow and obey Him and
stay with Him until the end to have eternal life.
people confess to believe in Jesus but their works are evil. They are
sinners. We read in 1 John 2:3 “By this we know that we have come
to know Him, if we keep His commandments. 4The one who says, “I
have come to know Him,” and does not keep His commandments, is a
liar, and the truth is not in him; 5but whoever keeps His word,
in him the love of God has truly been perfected. By this we know that
we are in Him:6the one who says he abides in Him ought himself to
walk in the same manner as He walked.”
“By this we know that we have come to
know Him, if we keep His commandments.” Christians that sin and
live in immorality do not know Jesus because they do not keep His
commandments, they do not live according to His words, as also
recorded in the gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. A Christian
that refuses to repent and be baptized, as Jesus commanded, does not
know nor love Jesus. Jesus said:”If you love Me, you
will keep My commandments.“John 14:15.
“By this we know that we are in
Him:6the one who says he abides in Him ought himself to walk in the
same manner as He walked.” Many Christians believers do not know
Jesus and do not abide in Him, because they do not live as Jesus
lived and taught His disciples to do. Their faith is in vain because
their works prove that they do not know Jesus, nor stay in obedience
to Him. They are like the world, the unbelievers that are perishing,
they are heading for destruction, they are on their way to hell.
We read in 1John 2:15 “Do not love
the world nor the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the
love of the Father is not in him. 16For all that is in the
world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the
boastful pride of life, is not from the Father, but is from the
world. 17The world is passing away, and also its
lusts; but the one who does the will of God lives forever.”
Those who love the world and the things
of the world do not have any love for Jesus and therefor they do not
obey Him, they practice sin, lawlessness, unrighteousness, their
deeds are evil. Many are preachers, evangelists, street preachers,
clergy, missionaries, church leaders, but they love the world and
their works are evil.
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 7:21,22.
If we know Jesus, our works will prove
it, because we will obey Him and abide in Him..
The apostle John wrote in I John
2:28 ”Now, little children, abide in Him, so that when He appears,
we may have confidence and not shrink away from Him in shame at His
coming. 29If you know that He is righteous, you know that
everyone also who practices righteousness is born of Him.”
Do we abide in Him? Will we have
confidence when Jesus appears, or will we hang our head in shame and
shrink away from Him in fear because we did not obey Him.
May Jesus bless you.

mindset. Their faith centers around church and church activities, not
around Jesus Christ, whom it is all about. When serious believers
start reading the Bible for themselves they soon discover that their
church does not function like the New Testament church did. Some
become disillusioned and rebel against the shortcomings of their
church. They sometimes try to influence change but it never works.
They either have to submit to the church and it's false doctrines and
practices, or they have to move out, because they are soon branded
as trouble makers, heretics, rebellious against the leadership, and
eventually get kicked out of the church.
These dissenters normally look for
another church that is closer to the truth, as they understand it,
but the same thing happens to them at the new church. Eventually some
of them start their own church, or a home church, where they attempt
to apply pure biblical practices. They have the church mindset, a
religious mentality. None of them have started to follow Jesus yet.
They are occupied with “church.”
Jesus did not instruct His disciples to
build churches. He instructed them to make disciples, who obey His
words, His teachings and commands as recorded also in Matthew, Mark,
Luke and John. The disciples of Jesus, who later became the apostles,
never built churches, church organizations and church buildings. The
born again followers of Jesus met in houses and often in secret
because they were haunted and persecuted by the unbelievers. Paul
wrote His epistles to the “church in your house.” We read in 1
Corinthians 16:19 “ The churches of Asia greet you. Aquila and
Prisca greet you heartily in the Lord, with the church that is in
their house.”
The churches were not structured
organizations with programs and agendas. The believers met in houses
to pray, encourage each other in their walk with the Lord, break
bread and have communion in the Holy Spirit. They met because they
were disciples of Jesus who had a common goal, they lived for the
kingdom of God and were led by the Holy Spirit. The gifts of the Holy
Spirit manifested when they came together, tongues, interpretation of
tongues, prophecy, a word of wisdom, word of knowledge as given by
the Holy Spirit. They shared what they had received from the Lord
with each other, food, material goods and spiritual gifts and,
revelations. And so the Body of Christ, the called out assembly, the
church, was built up and strengthened, both spiritually and
materially.
Later religious minds crept in and
started church organizations. Paul warned against this..We read in
Acts 20:29“I know that after my departure savage wolves will come
in among you, not sparing the flock; 30and from among your own
selves men will arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away the
disciples after them.” The churches draw the disciples AWAY from
Jesus and make them slaves, servants to the church, the FALSE CHURCH
of men. That is what has become of most churches. They are
organizations of men, run by men and women, for their own gain. They
deceive the people to follow after and serve them and not Jesus
Christ, the Lord.
People are born into these churches of
men and they are brainwashed by the church doctrines and church
mindset. When they try to bring others to faith, they are also
indoctrinated to become church members and slaves tot he church, they
never become followers of Jesus. They believe they have salvation but
they are deceived. They just become religious and eventually they end
up in hell.
You need to get out of the church
mindset to be able to follow Jesus. It is very difficult for people
to do because there are only very few true followers of Jesus, very
few examples of true disciples. New believers think the churches are
leading them to truth. They trust in the church and reject true
followers of Jesus as heretics because these people do not belong to
churches and are treated as apostates by the churches.
The truth is that if you follow Jesus
and do what is pleasing to Him, you will be hated, rejected, outcast
and persecuted by the unbelievers and the church establishment. Jesus
said to His disciples:”You will be hated by all men because of Me.”
Church organizations are well accepted in the free world, they are
registered with government (501c3) and enjoy tax exempt status,
under condition that they do not preach against government policy,
even though it is immoral or against the gospel of Jesus Christ. They
have sold their souls to the devil for money. Further they seek the
approval of men and want to be inclusive, accepting and approving
even practicing those things that God hates. They are ravenous wolves
in sheep's clothing deceiving, robbing and abusing believers, for
their own gain, taking their money and enriching themselves, while
building their church empires.
Salvation is about your relationship
with Jesus, serving and obeying Him, living in communion with Him,
being led by His Holy Spirit. Jesus is not in, or part of, any church
organization, Church organizations are from satan, run and controlled
by greedy evil deceivers. They seduce the true followers of Jesus,
preachers that Jesus has called, to become servants of the church,
slaves, for money, for security, a salary, medical insurance and
pension fund. They are secular organizations. They are of the world,
like the world, accepted by the world and therefor unsuitable for the
kingdom of God. They are ENEMIES of God. Many are being exposed. The
atrocities of the Catholic church and many others, pedophilia, sex
trafficking, and other horrific practices, are being exposed, but
still many are deceived and blind to the truth. They follow and
support these evil organizations and people. All organized churches
emerged from the Roman Catholic church, and have retained many of her
evil practices. They are the offspring of the satanic false church.
The Body of Christ, the true church is
not an organization. It is not of this world. It does not have
leaders. Jesus Christ is their Leader. Jesus Christ is the Head and
He Teaches, Leads and Guides every member of the Body of Christ. I
will explain to you how this works, but first note, this is what
Jesus said to His disciples:”But do not be called Rabbi; for One is
your Teacher, and you are all brothers. 9“Do not
call anyone on earth your father; for One is your Father,
He who is in heaven. 10“Do not be called leaders; for One is
your Leader, that is, Christ. 11“But the greatest
among you shall be your servant.”Matthew 23:8-11.
Jesus did not appoint leaders over or
among His disciples. Neither did He appoint them as leaders. He
promised them the Comforter, the Holy Spirit, who would be given to
lead them and those who became disciples of Jesus through their
preaching. Before Jesus ascended to heaven, after He had been
crucified and resurrected He gave them instruction:“Go therefore
and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of
the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, 20teaching them to
observe all that I commanded you; “ Matthew 28:19-20. Note
that they were DISCIPLES and He commanded them to make DISCIPLES as
they also were. A disciple subjects himself to the DISCIPLINE of
Jesus and OBEYS His commands.
Jesus told His disciples to go to
Jerusalem and WAIT for the Holy Spirit, the Comforter, to be given.
The Holy Spirit would guide them and teach them, each individually,
as Jesus had also promised before:”But the Helper, the Holy Spirit,
whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things,
and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you.” John 14:26.
Also Jesus said: “I have many more things to say to you, but you
cannot bear them now. 13“But when He, the Spirit of
truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth; for He will not
speak on His own initiative, but whatever He hears, He will speak;
and He will disclose to you what is to come. 14“He will
glorify Me, for He will take of Mine and will disclose it to
you. 15“All things that the Father has are Mine; therefore I
said that He takes of Mine and will disclose it to you.”
John 16:12-15.
Contrary to what so many religious
people believe, everything that Jesus had to say was not said, nor
recorded in the Bible Jesus sent the Holy Spirit to guide every born
again, Spirit filled believer, to teach and guide them into all truth
and to reveal to them His will and duty for them on a daily basis.
The Holy Spirit was poured out on the
day of Pentecost and the disciples, and other believers who were
praying and waiting for the Holy Spirit, were all baptized in the
Holy Spirit and began speaking in other tongues which they neither
knew nor understood. From there onward they would be led by the Holy
Spirit to preach the gospel. That is what makes a born again child of
God different from any other person:”Those who are being led by the
Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.”Romans 8:14. They do not
follow people, or a church. They follow the guidance of the Holy
Spirit.
The Holy Spirit is essential to our
walk and communion with Jesus. It was promised to EVERY one who
believes in Jesus, obeys Him and wishes to follow Him as Peter also
said on the day of Pentecost:”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.” Acts 2:38,39.
The Holy Spirit brings us into
COMMUNION with Jesus, enables us to HEAR His, VOICE and FOLLOW Him,
to be His DISCIPLES, members of His BODY who are TAUGHT, LED and
GUIDED by Him.
Nobody can serve two masters. You
cannot follow the church leadership and at the same time follow
Jesus. Then Jesus is not you Leader, your Lord and Master. You are
serving people, an institution, doing unfruitful work.
If you want eternal life you have to
follow Jesus. You have to become His disciple, obey His instructions,
repent and be baptized, be filled wit the Holy Spirit and follow the
guidance of the Holy Spirit. You need a DISCIPLESHIP MINDSET, not a
church mindset. Your focus must be on Jesus, to please Him, to seek
and do His will and be pleasing to him, to fit into the kingdom of
heaven, not into church or the world. You have to live for Jesus and
His kingdom, serve Him, not a church or yourself, your own ideas. You
have to WALK WITH GOD, be led by the Holy Spirit.
This truth is not taught by the
churches. They don't know it and if they did, it would be contrary to
their whole operation, their way of functioning. But, this is the
gospel of Jesus Christ, the truth, the only way to salvation. Go and
read the words of Jesus in the gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.
Go and read the book of Acts and see how the first Christians lived
and functioned, after receiving the Holy Spirit. Pray and ask Jesus
to open your mind and give you understanding. Obey Him, repent and be
baptized, seek Him, be filled with the Holy Spirit, so that you can
be born again, a child of God, who HEARS His VOICE and follows Him.
Follow Jesus and become part of His kingdom.
Churches preach many lies. One of them
is the Pre-Tribulation Rapture. The rapture fairy tale has been used
to scare people into becoming church members. This false teaching
coupled with Once Saved Always Saved has been successfully used to
build and maintain church membership. Added to that the false
doctrine of Tithes and Church Attendance and other deceptions, that
completes the church deception toolbox.
The pre-tribulation rapture doctrine
promises believers transport from earth to heaven at the Second
Coming of Christ, in order to escape the great tribulation that is
written about in the book of Revelation. Jesus never promised His
followers an escape from tribulation. His first disciples all died as
martyrs (apart from one, the apostle John). Paul
said:” “We must endure many hardships to
enter the kingdom of God,”Acts 14:22. Jesus said:”the
one who perseveres to the end will be saved.”
Matthew 24:13.
Another false doctrine is that of:”Just
believe in the Lord Jesus and you will be saved.” That is also a
blatant lie. You are not just instantly saved from hell and
guaranteed entrance to heaven, eternal life, just because you said a
short prayer and them make a confession of faith. In order to have
salvation you have to obey ALL that Jesus commanded. You have to
repent of sin, stop sinning, show fruit of repentance, be baptized in
water for the forgiveness of your sin, and live according to the
commands of Jesus, as recorded in the gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke
and John, the Red Letter Words in some Bibles. You have to live
strictly in obedience to Jesus, become a disciple, not just a
believer, and you must endure with Jesus, live holy and righteously
until the end of your life and then only, will you be saved. Those
who follow Jesus have the HOPE of salvation, IF they endure with Him
until the end. There is no guarantee of salvation.
Another lie that is preached in
churches is that Jesus forgives all your sin: PAST PRESENT AND
FUTURE. Jesus forgives your PAST sin but you have to turn to Jesus,
repent AND be baptized for the remission of your sins and then SIN
NO MORE. If you keep on sinning you will end up in hell.
Another lie is INFANT BAPTISM. Infants
do not have sin because they have no understanding of right or wrong,
they have not committed any sin. Infant baptism is INVALID. Further,
SPRINKLING is not baptism. A few drops of water on the forehead is
not baptism. Baptism is IMMERSION IN WATER.
Some churches preach that baptism is
not necessary to be saved. That is a LIE. Jesus commanded His
disciples as follows”Go into all the world and preach the gospel to
all creation. 16“He who has believed AND HAS BEEN BAPTIZED
will be saved; but he who has disbelieved will be condemned.”Mark
16:15,16. Your sins will not be forgiven and you will not have
salvation if you do not repent AND be baptized for the forgiveness of
your past sins. Peter said on the day of Pentecost:”REPENT AND BE
BAPTIZED, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the
FORGIVENESS OF YOUR SINS.”Acts 2:38. Unless you repent and be
baptized you will NOT have forgiveness of sins.
Churches preach against the baptism in
the Holy Spirit or they tell people that they receive the Holy spirit
just by believing, which is a lie. The Holy Spirit baptism with the
evidence and ability to speak in tongues is promised for ALL
followers of Jesus, not just for some. We read in Acts 2:38,39
“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. 39“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.” Jesus Christ never changed, the Holy
Spirit never changed. The TRUTH never changed. If you do not speak in
tongues you have not received the baptism in the Holy Spirit. It is
promised to ALL who obey Jesus. He is the only One who baptized in
the Holy Spirit. Seek Him, obey Him and ask Him and He will give His
Spirit in you.
The payment of TITHES, to a church was
never commanded by Jesus. The Jews were commanded to pay a tenth of
their proceeds for the upkeep of the temple. Following Jesus does not
bring you under Mosaic Law, it does not make you a Jew. The church
institution was not commanded by Jesus, it is an invention of men.
Jesus commanded His followers to love and take care of each other,
the poor and widows, not to build and support churches. Churches use
the Bible, they twist the scriptures and add their own teachings to
deceive and control the people, and force them to support the
leadership and the organization. They are scam artists, wolves in
sheep's clothing.
Paid preachers are not servants of
God. They do not serve God, nor are they of the kingdom of God. They
are employees and managers of secular church organizations, that are
registered with government for tax exempt purposes. They only care
for themselves and their organization. They do not care for you, your
soul or the kingdom of God. They do not know Jesus, or else they
would fear and follow Him. They would not be associated with worldly
church organizations.
Churches make followers of themselves,
not of Jesus Christ. They make proselytes, slaves of the
organization. They use the Bible, scriptures, to deceive the people
and compel them to attend church, have “fellowship” with other
deceived church members, to keep them in the flock.
Church organizations are built and
maintained on lies and fairy tales. They deceive the people. Church
is the high way to hell, because church members are indoctrinated and
inoculated against the truth. They are immune to the truth. They
fight and persecute the true followers of Jesus while they defend the
false doctrines of church that they believe in. They themselves do
not know nor follow Jesus. They are deceived, blind men following the
blind. They will both fall into he ditch.
The only truth that can save from hell,
is the words of Jesus Christ, His gospel, His teachings as also
recorded in Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. If you obey the words of
Jesus, repent and be baptized, stop sinning and live according to His
words, Jesus will baptize you in the Holy Spirit. He will give the
Holy Spirit in you to teach and guide you into all truth.. If you
LISTEN to Him, OBEY Him and FOLLOW His guidance and stay with Him
until the end, you will be saved. Go and read the words of Jesus,
obey HIM and you will have the hope of eternal life.
Stop listening to and going after the
the churches and the lies that they spread. They are deceiving you
and leading you to hell. Get out of church. Follow and obey Jesus
until the end and you will have the HOPE of ETERNAL LIFE.
cannot receive from God, and that is the Holy Spirit. It is reserved
for those who are born again. Jesus promised the Holy Spirit to
those who do not just believe in Him, but who obey Him. The Holy
Spirit is the Spirit of Christ that He gives in those who love Him.
The Holy Spirit is the COMFORTER, “the Spirit of truth, whom the
world cannot receive, because it does not see Him or know Him” John
14:17. The Holy Spirit is the PRESENCE of Jesus Christ, WITH the born
again believer. Jesus said to His disciples:”But the Helper, the
Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will TEACH YOU
ALL THINGS, and bring to your remembrance all that I said to
you.”John 14:26.
The Holy Spirit was only given after
Jesus had been crucified, resurrected and had ascended to heaven. It
was given on the day of Pentecost, to the first followers of Jesus,
the disciples, who had followed Him and had been taught by Him. We
read about it in Acts 1 and 2. When the Holy Spirit came on them
“they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with
other tongues, as the Spirit was giving them utterance.”Acts 2:4
Many of the crowd that witnessed it thought they were drunk, but
Peter explained to them that it was the fulfillment of the prophecy
that was spoken by the prophet Joel. When they asked Peter what they
should 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. 39“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.” 40And with
many other words he solemnly testified and kept on exhorting them,
saying, “Be saved from this perverse generation!”
It was also the fulfillment of the
words of John the Baptist who said:”I baptize you with water for
repentance, but He who is coming after me is mightier than I, and I
am not fit to remove His sandals; He will baptize you with the Holy
Spirit and fire.”Matthew 3:11.
After the day of Pentecost many of
those who believed, repented and were baptized in water, also
received the gift of the Holy Spirit in the same way, with the
evidence of and ability to speak in tongues. All those who received
the baptism in the Holy Spirit, that we read of in the book of Acts,
started speaking in tongues. Jesus Christ never changed, the Holy
Spirit never changed. Even today those who receive the baptism in the
Holy Spirit also have the ability to speak in tongues.
It was also the fulfillment of the
words of Jesus as recorded in Mark 16:15-18. “He said to them, “Go
into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. 16“He
who has believed and has been baptized will be saved; but he who has
disbelieved will be condemned. 17“These signs will accompany
those who have believed: in My name they will cast out demons, THEY
WILL SPEAK WITH NEW TONGUES; 18they will pick up serpents, and
if they drink any deadly poison, it will not hurt them;
they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.”
The promise of the baptism in the Holy
Spirit is for ALL who believe in Jesus and who repent and are
baptized in water as Peter also said:.“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.”Acts 2:39.
Many claim to have the Holy Spirit but
they are only deceiving themselves. Others have been deceived by
preachers that tell them that the gift of the Holy Spirit has ceased.
Jesus never changed, He is the same, yesterday, today and for ever.
He still baptizes in the Holy Spirit, but there are preconditions to
receiving the baptism in the Holy Spirit and those are very clear:
you must repent and be baptized in water for the
forgiveness/remission/pardon of your sin. You have to earnestly seek
Jesus, stop sinning and live Holy. You must have a earnest desire to
follow Him. We see that the disciples who first received the baptism
in the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost, they were all in the
upper room of the place where they were staying, “They, all with
one mind WERE CONTINUALLY DEVOTING THEMSELVES TO PRAYER, along
with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with His
brothers.”Acts 1:14.
The baptism in the Holy Spirit does not
just HAPPEN. You need to go after Jesus, be serious, seek Him with
all your heart, obey His teachings, repent and be baptized, devote
your life to Him, seek Him in prayer. It is also not something that
we deserve, we are not entitled to it but Jesus gladly gives it to
those who love Him and obey Him. It is also not a guarantee of
salvation, it is a GIFT but it is PROMISED to all who OBEY Him. Many
do not want the gift, and Jesus will not force it on them. Others
want the gift but they have no desire for Jesus and therefor they do
not receive it. Many have received the baptism in the Holy Spirit.
They can speak in tongues but they do not follow Jesus, they do not
seek Him, they are unholy, sinful, live as enemies of Jesus. They
think they have a guarantee of salvation because they once received
the gift and they can speak in tongues. Jesus never takes back His
gifts. His calling and His gifts are irrevocable, but those who do
not follow Him and do not bear good fruit will get cut off and
burned, they will end up in hell, if they do not repent. That is why
Jesus said that:“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 7:22,23.
You need the Holy Spirit baptism. You
need the PRESENCE, COMFORT, HELP and GUIDANCE of the Holy Spirit.
That is“the mystery that was hidden for ages and generations but is
now revealed to His saints. 27to whom God has
chosen to make known among the
Gentiles the glorious riches of
this mystery, which is
CHRIST IN YOU, the hope of glory.”Colossians
1:26,27. The Holy Spirit is CHRIST DWELLING IN YOU. It is what Jesus
was talking about in John 14:21 “He who has My commandments and
keeps them is the one who loves Me; and he who loves Me will be loved
by My Father, and I will love him and will disclose Myself to him.”
and also in verse 23 “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and
My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our abode
with him.”
The Holy Spirit is not just a token
from God. Jesus said:13“But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He
will GUIDE YOU INTO ALL THE TRUTH; for He will not speak on His own
initiative, but whatever He hears, He will speak; and He will
disclose to you what is to come. 14“He will glorify Me, for He
will take of Mine and will disclose it to you. 15“All
things that the Father has are Mine; therefore I said that He takes
of Mine and will disclose it to you. John 16:13-15.
The born again, Holy Spirit filled
child of God is led by the Holy Spirit. The apostle Paul wrote in
Romans 8:9 “you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed
the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if anyone does not have the
Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him.” He further writes in
verse 14: “For all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these
are sons of God.” They are the children of God. You need the Spirit
of God, that the world, the unbeliever, cannot receive, you need to
be led by and follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit to be able to be
see and be fruitful in the kingdom of God. Further, you have to SEEK
and FOLLOW the guidance of the Holy Spirit. If you disobey the Holy
Spirit and grieve Him, He will leave you. He will discipline you if
you go wrong but “the LORD said, 'My Spirit shall not strive
with man forever,'”Genesis 6:3.
You NEED the Holy Spirit, but you can
only receive Him if you OBEY Jesus, REPENT and be baptized. You need
to clean your house, clean your heart, your life, of all sin and
unholiness, before He will come and dwell with you. The Holy Spirit
does not dwell in a filthy temple. Once you have received the Holy
Spirit, you must stay pure and holy, sin no more. Paul wrote “Do
you not know that you are a temple of God and that the Spirit of God
dwells in you? 17If any man destroys the temple of God, God will
destroy him, for the temple of God is holy, and that is what you
are.” 1 Corinthians 3:16,17. Many children of God who were once
filled with the Holy Spirit will end up in hell because they grieved
the Holy Spirit and defiled His temple. If they do not repent and be
holy, follow and obey the guidance of the Holy Spirit, they will be
cut off and burned, they will end up in hell.
You need to earnestly desire to follow
Jesus, seek Him in prayer, seek Him, fellowship with Him, His
guidance and presence, to know Him, hear His voice and be pleasing to
Him, not just for salvation and to skip hell, but to be with Him and
be part of His kingdom. Then He will baptize you in the Holy Spirit,
He will reveal Himself to you. If you turn your back on Him, keep on
disobeying Him, deny Him, then He will deny you also, you will not
enter the kingdom of heaven and you will be cast into hell, even if
you have received the Holy Spirit. We need the Holy Spirit, ALWAYS
until the end, to follow and obey Him for eternity.
Jesus warned that those who blaspheme
the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven. Many believers, religious
people, are foolish. They make the mistake of mocking those who have
the Holy Spirit, calling them demon possessed. They must be careful
what they say. They can regret it for eternity. Do not play around
with the Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit is the most precious of
gifts given by God. Do not despise nor grieve Him. Seek Him with all
your heart. The Holy Spirit is your connection with Jesus, your
constant companion, your fellowship with Him.
Have you received the Holy Spirit? Do
you follow and obey Him?
infested with sin and demons. That is why they cannot stop sinning.
They are in bondage. They are slaves to sin. The wages of sin is
death. The soul that sins will die. If they are not delivered and
stop sinning, they will end up in hell. These people are not born
again, they are sinners. They need to be baptized in water and be
filled with the Holy Spirit.
Water baptism is a requirement for sins
to be forgiven and for the stronghold of demons to be broken. Jesus
commanded that those who wish to follow Him be baptized in water
before they can follow Him. The disciples of Jesus, the twelve, were
also baptized in water. Jesus said “Truly, truly, I say to you,
unless one is born of water and the Spirit he cannot enter into the
kingdom of God.”John 3:5.
There is no forgiveness of sins, no
pardon, no remission of sin, no salvation, unless a believer repents
AND is baptized in water. Jesus said to His disciples:“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.” Mark 16:15,16.
You must be born of WATER and of the
Spirit of God, to enter the kingdom of heaven. Being baptized in
water and coming up out of the water after being submerged through
baptism, a believer is BORN of Water. Jesus promised the baptism in
the Holy Spirit to those who OBEY Him and are baptized in water. Only
Jesus baptizes in the Holy Spirit. John the baptist said of Jesus:
”I baptize you
with water for repentance, but after me will
come One more powerful than I, whose sandals I
am not worthy to carry. He will
baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with
fire. Matthew 3:11.
Jesus gave the Holy Spirit on the day
of Pentecost. Those who were baptized in water received the baptism
in the Holy Spirit. Jesus, the risen Lord, baptized them with the
Holy Spirit. The people asked Peter what to do to be saved and he
replied:“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. 39“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.”
The believers first had to REPENT and
be BAPTIZED for their sins to be forgiven. They had to be cleansed
before they could receive the baptism in the Holy Spirit. They had to
be BORN AGAIN of WATER and of the SPIRIT of God, to be suitable to
enter the kingdom of God.
You MUST repent and be baptized in
water before you can receive the baptism in the Holy Spirit and be
BORN AGAIN. The Holy Spirit does not dwell in an unclean temple. Our
bodies are a temple of the Holy Spirit, for Him to dwell in. The Holy
Spirit does not dwell in sinners or sinning believers. If you go back
to sin after being born again, the Holy Spirit will leave you. If you
sin He will warn you. He will discipline you but if you do not accept
discipline, obey Him and be holy, you will grieve the Holy Spirit and
He will leave you. You will end up in hell, even if you were once
born again.
If you obey Jesus, repent and be
baptized, He will set you free from the bondage of sin. By your
public confession of your commitment to obey Jesus, die to sin, and
live for Him, through baptism, demons will flee from you. They will
leave you when you go through the water. You will be free, from sin,
demons and addictions. Jesus will set you absolutely free, but then
you have to be filled with the Holy Spirit, and stay filled, or else
those demons will come back and your end will be worse than your
beginning. 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 12:43-45.
That is why many professing Christians
are infested with demons. They cannot stop sinning. They are
controlled by demons, unclean spirits. Many of them are pastors and
church leaders. They are given to uncleanliness and evil because they
know the truth but they do not practice it. They preach lies and even
believe their own lies. They believe they are saved but they are
controlled by demons. God has given them over to their evil desires.
Paul wrote about them in Romans 1:21-32. “For even though they knew
God, they did not honor Him as God or give thanks, but they became
futile in their speculations, and their foolish heart was
darkened. 22Professing to be wise, they became fools, 23and
exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for an image in the form
of corruptible man and of birds and four-footed animals and crawling
creatures.
24Therefore God gave them over in the lusts of their hearts to
impurity, so that their bodies would be dishonored among them. 25For
they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served
the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.
26For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for
their women exchanged the natural function for that which is
unnatural, 27and in the same way also the men abandoned the
natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one
another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their
own persons the due penalty of their error.
28And 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, 29being filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness,
greed, evil; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malice; they
are gossips, 30slanderers, haters of God, insolent,
arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to
parents, 31without understanding, untrustworthy, unloving,
unmerciful; 32and 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.”
That is what has become of this generation of worldly Christians
and their leadership. They practice all manner of evil and still
believe they are saved, but they are controlled by satan and they are
damned, on their way to hell.
Do not be like them. Do not become like them. Do not associate
with them. Repent and be baptized. Be filled with the Holy Spirit.
Follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit, and be holy. Stay with Jesus
until the end and you will have eternal life.
If you have backslidden and become like them, REPENT, seek Jesus
with all your heart. If you are serious He will grant you repentance.
It will not be easy, but if you want eternal life you have to break
with sin, break with evil and go after Jesus with all your power. If
you don't you will certainly end up in hell. Without holiness, no man
shall see God. The unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of
heaven.
Repent and be baptized. Be filled with the Holy Spirit and follow
Jesus until the end. The Holy Spirit will guide you into all truth,
but you have to stay with Him, until the end.
baptism. It is a requirement for those who want their sins taken away
so that they can have eternal life. Jesus commanded it and He Himself
was also baptized in water by John the Baptist, even though He did
not have any sin, He never committed sin. John the baptist knew who
He was and would at first not baptize Him because he felt unworthy to
baptize the Lord, but Jesus insisted, to fulfill all righteousness.
We read in Matthew 3:13 “Then Jesus arrived from Galilee at the
Jordan coming to John, to be baptized by him. 14But
John tried to prevent Him, saying, “I have need to be baptized by
You, and do You come to me?” 15But Jesus answering said to
him, “Permit it at this time; for in this way it is
fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness.” Then he permitted
Him.“
Jesus commanded His disciples to make
disciples and baptize them. We read in Matthew 28:19 “Go therefore
and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of
the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, 20teaching them to
observe all that I commanded you;” We need to note that Jesus
reiterated the command in verse 20: “teaching them to observe ALL
that I commanded you.” We have to obey ALL that Jesus commanded,
not just some. Jesus requires TOTAL OBEDIENCE.
We also read in Mark 16:15, 16 “And
He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to
all creation. Whoever BELIEVES AND IS BAPTIZED will be saved, but
whoever does not believe will be condemned..”
On the day of Pentecost, when the Holy
Spirit was given, the people asked the apostle Peter what to do to be
saved and he answered as follows:"Repent, and each of you be
baptized in the name of Jesus Christ FOR THE FORGIVENESS/REMISSION OF
YOUR SINS; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.”Acts
2:38,39. That is why many believers do not receive the baptism in
the Holy Spirit, because they refuse to be baptized in water.
When the apostle Paul encountered
Jesus on the Damascus road, he was struck with blindness and Jesus
sent him into Damascus, where he was met by a man Ananias who said to
him:”‘Brother Saul, receive your sight!’ He further said to
him:‘Now why do you delay? Get up and be baptized, AND WASH AWAY
YOUR SINS, calling on His name.’ Acts 22:16.
To be baptized in water is a
REQUIREMENT for the forgiveness, the pardon or remission of sins. It
is a command of Jesus Christ, a prerequisite for salvation. It was
commanded by Jesus. It is not an optional extra. The commandment
never changed. Jesus Christ never changes. He is the same, yesterday,
today and for ever. Those who disobey Him will NOT have eternal life.
Many want to use the case of the thief on the cross next to Jesus as
an excuse to not be baptized. It was not physically possible for the
thief to get down from the cross and be baptized and Jesus Himself
said to him:”Today you will be with Me in paradise.” Those who
can but refuse to obey Jesus and be baptized, will have no excuse.
Their sins will not be forgiven and taken away.
Jesus requires that we repent of sin,
turn away from sin, SIN NO MORE after being baptized. We must obey
His commands and live holy. His commands are clear. His words were
recorded in the gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Read Matthew
chapters 5,6,7.
Baby baptism is not valid. A baby does
not have any sin because it has no knowledge of nor ability to sin.
You first have to repent before being baptized.
Baptism without repentance is futile,
useless. It will not save you from hell. You have to repent and show
fruit of repentance, SIN NO MORE. John the baptist rebuked the
pharisees who came to be baptized. We read in Matthew 3:7 “But when
he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming for baptism, he
said to them, “You brood of vipers, who warned you to flee from the
wrath to come? 8“Therefore bear fruit in keeping with
repentance;9and do not suppose that you can say to yourselves, ‘We
have Abraham for our father’; for I say to you that from these
stones God is able to raise up children to Abraham. 10“The axe
is already laid at the root of the trees; therefore every tree that
does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.” You
must first repent and then be baptized. Then you have to live holy
until the end of your life, follow and obey Jesus, until the end, to
have eternal life.
Many believers become hypocrites once
they believe in Jesus and think they are superior to others. They
think that other believers are not worthy or pure enough to baptize
them. They are looking for a special person to baptize them. Jesus,
although He was Lord, humbled Himself insisted that John the
Baptist, a mere man, baptize him. Any other follower of Jesus can
baptize you. Baptism is not about the status of the person doing the
baptizing, it is about the obedience of the person being baptized.
Do you believe in Jesus and wish to
have eternal life? Repent and be baptized. ‘Now why do you delay?
Get up and be baptized, AND WASH AWAY YOUR SINS, while calling on His
name.’
the kingdom of God is coming. Those who are born-again SEE His
kingdom. They HEAR His VOICE and they SERVE Him. They are the
children of God, the sons of God. They are SONS and DAUGHTERS of the
Kingdom of God.
The Lord will spew the luke-warm church
out of His mouth. He will destroy the worldly churches and their
leadership will be plucked out. Jesus said:“Every plant that My
Heavenly Father has not planted will be pulled up by its
roots.”Matthew15:13.
This is what the Lord says:”Their
churches will be taken from them. Their leadership will be exposed
for the deceivers that they are. Many will be removed, they will be
cut off, they will die. They did not warn the lost. Even though they
knew the truth they did not speak it. They twisted the truth and lied
to the people. They led them astray. They preached their own thoughts
and spoke what the people wanted to hear. They have enriched
themselves and did not fight for the oppressed, they did not fight
for innocent babies being slaughtered in the mother's womb. They
blessed those who make war and kill the innocent and they fought
against those who speak the truth. They persecuted and slandered My
servants whom I have appointed. They have desecrated My Name by their
fornication with the world. They have profaned the Holy place. The
time of their judgment has come. They will be stripped and cut off.
Many will run around in desperation
because their lying leaders are no more, those in whom they have
trusted and chose to follow, because they loved lies. Many will die
of heart failure. They will be fear struck because the false
prophecies and lies of their leaders have not come true. They will
curse Me, the living God, but they themselves chose lies above Me.
They put their trust in themselves and in fallible men but they
rejected Me. They will die in their sins because they followed the
doctrines of men, rather than to obey My words.”
“My kingdom will be established.
Truth and righteousness will be established. I am coming to render to
each one according to their deeds, good or bad. Many will be taken
out. Wake up and seek Me, while you can. Turn from wickedness, repent
and obey My words or you will perish.”
