THE WORDS OF ETERNAL LIFE

The words that Jesus spoke are the words of eternal life. Jesus said: “It

is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing; the words
that I have spoken to you are spirit and are life. 64“But there are
some of you who do not believe.” John 6:63

Jesus
said: “If anyone hears My sayings and does not keep them, I do not
judge him; for I did not come to judge the world, but to save the
world. 48“He who rejects Me and does not receive My sayings, has
one who judges him; the word I spoke is what will judge him at the
last day. 49“For I did not speak on My own initiative, but the
Father Himself who sent Me has given Me a commandment as to what to
say and what to speak. 50“I know that His commandment is eternal
life; therefore the things I speak, I speak just as the Father has
told Me.” John 12:47-50.

Jesus
delivered the Sermon on the mount and ended it with these words:
24“Therefore everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on
them, may be compared to a wise man who built his house on the rock.
25“And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and
slammed against that house; and yet it did not fall, for it had been
founded on the rock. 26“Everyone who hears these words of Mine and
does not act on them, will be like a foolish man who built his house
on the sand. 27“The rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds
blew and slammed against that house; and it fell—and great was its
fall.” Matthew 7:24-27.

Jesus
said: 1“I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser.
2“Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit, He takes away; and
every branch that bears fruit, He prunes it so that it may bear more
fruit. 3“You are already clean because of the word which I have
spoken to you. 4“Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot
bear fruit of itself unless it abides in the vine, so neither can you
unless you abide in Me. 5“I am the vine, you are the branches; he
who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit, for apart from Me
you can do nothing. 6“If anyone does not abide in Me, he is thrown
away as a branch and dries up; and they gather them, and cast them
into the fire and they are burned. 7“If you abide in Me, and My
words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for
you. 8“My Father is glorified by this, that you bear much fruit,
and so prove to be My disciples. 9“Just as the Father has loved Me,
I have also loved you; abide in My love. 10“If you keep My
commandments, you will abide in My love; just as I have kept My
Father’s commandments and abide in His love.” John 15:1-10.

The
words that Jesus spoke and commanded were recorded in Matthew, Mark
, Luke and John. Sadly very few Christians obey and live according
to those words. They rather study and quote other scriptures. They
quote Paul and their famous pastors and Bible teachers. They are
foolish and they will perish, because they do not love, cherish nor
obey the words of Jesus. They are not His disciples. They will not
have eternal life.

Many
Christians reject and slander me because I preach and emphasize the
words of Jesus. They are not rejecting me. They are rejecting Jesus
and eternal life.

Do
you love and obey the words and commandments of Jesus? Are you His
disciple, or are you just a foolish believer, one of those who are
always studying the Bible and never coming to the knowledge of the
truth, never getting to know and follow Jesus?

Read
and obey the words of Jesus as recorded in Matthew, Mark, Luke and
John. Obey them, live by them, and you will get to know Jesus. He
will reveal Himself to you. He will guide and teach you and give you
eternal life if you stay with Him, until the end.

May
Jesus bless you.

NOTHING CAN HOLD YOU BACK

Nothing can hold you back if you really want to follow Jesus, because Jesus

came to set the captives free. Many believers are in bondage of sin,
they cannot stop sinning and therefore they cannot follow Jesus.
They are slaves to sin. Jesus said: “Truly, truly, I say to you,
everyone who commits sin is the slave of sin. 35“The slave does not
remain in the house forever; the son does remain forever. 36“So if
the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed. John 8:34-36.

You
can be free from the bondage of sin, the lusts of the flesh and of
addictions, if you want to be free. Jesus can and will set you free
if you ask Him, but most people enjoy the pleasures of sin and the
lusts of the flesh. They do not want to stop doing those things. Even
if Jesus sets them free they go back to sin. They have no desire for
holiness.

Without
holiness no one will see the Lord. The unrighteous will not inherit
the kingdom of God. Sinners and sinning Christians have no fellowship
with Jesus, even if they are preachers and prophets. 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 7:21-23.

No
sin or any other things can hold you back if you really want to
follow Jesus. You will have no excuse when you stand before Him in
judgment. Jesus will set you free and give you all the power that you
need, to follow Him and do what is pleasing to Him. He will not force
you, but if you don't want to follow and obey Him, and be holy, He
will refuse you. He will say to you: DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE
LAWLESSNESS.

Do
you really want to follow Jesus?

May
Jesus bless you.

GOD'S HOUSE

Many wrongly refer to church buildings

as the house of God. We read in Acts 7:48-50 “the Most High does
not dwell in houses made by human hands; as the
prophet says:‘HEAVEN IS MY THRONE, AND EARTH IS THE FOOTSTOOL
OF MY FEET; WHAT KIND OF HOUSE WILL YOU BUILD FOR ME?’
says the Lord, ‘OR WHAT PLACE IS THERE FOR MY REPOSE? 50‘WAS
IT NOT MY HAND WHICH MADE ALL THESE THINGS?’

Where then is the HOUSE OF GOD? We read
in Hebrews 3:6 “But Christ is faithful as the
Son over God’s house. And we are His house, if we
hold firmly to our confidence and the hope of
which we boast.”

Those who are born again, children of
God, they are His house. The apostle Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians
3:16,17 “ 16Do 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.”

The apostle Paul also further wrote in
1 Corinthians 6:15-20 “Do you not know that your bodies are members
of Christ? Shall I then take away the members of Christ and make them
members of a prostitute? May it never be! 16Or do you not know
that the one who joins himself to a prostitute is one body with
her? For He says, “THE TWO SHALL BECOME ONE FLESH.” 17But
the one who joins himself to the Lord is one spirit with
Him. 18Flee immorality. Every other sin that a man
commits is outside the body, but the immoral man sins against his own
body. 19Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the
Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and that you are
not your own? 20For you have been bought with a price: therefore
glorify God in your body.”

We are the house of God, if we have
invited Jesus into our lives and accepted Him as Lord. We must keep
His temple clean and holy, free from sin and immorality, dedicated
unto Him, reserved for His purpose. We must take heed tot the
warning:”If 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 3:17.

Are we worthy of Jesus? Are we keeping
His temple pure and holy?

May Jesus bless you.

CHRISTIANS WANT TO BE PAMPERED AND ENTERTAINED

Very few Christians are serious about following Jesus. Even fewer want to
serve Him and work for the kingdom of God. Most of them are selfish,
self serving, arrogant, self righteous, lovers of pleasure and
haters of God. They practice a humanistic religion that satisfies
their ego and their flesh, but they disregard and disobey the words
of Jesus, which are the only words that lead to eternal life. They
are on the broad road that leads to destruction, and because there
are so many of them they feel safe and happy in their delusion. They
do not realize that they are heading for hell.

Churches
cater for the desires of the worldly false Christians, providing for
their lust after self gratification with facilities, amenities,
media, doctrines and false promises of eternal salvation. The false
Christians love lies and therefore glorify lying preachers, Christian
magicians and lying false prophets, that promise them security of
salvation and prosperity, while robbing them of their hard earned
money.

They
are enchanted, placed under spells, by the ridiculous doctrines that
are preached by the churches and false prophets, even when they know
in their hearts that it cannot be true. Nobody with common sense will
accept a doctrine like, ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED. Nobody in his right
mind would believe that SALVATION IS FREE or that Jesus PAID FOR YOUR
SINS, PAST PRESENT AND FUTURE. No sober person will believe that you
only need to believe in Jesus to have salvation, which is guaranteed
even though you go and commit the most horrific crimes after
“accepting" Him. Nobody in his right mind would believe in an
unjust God, that would send unbelievers to hell but excuse those who
believe even though they are wicked? Which thinking individual will
believe in pre-election as preached by the Calvinists? Which sane
person would support and pay vast amounts of money to such lying,
deceiving preachers, false prophets and Christian magicians, other
than those who have been bewitched by their lies and fantasies ,
those who love lies and hate the truth.

The
wages of sin is death. The soul that sins will die, even if he
believed in Jesus, even if he was a preacher, even though he cast out
demons in the name of Jesus, even if he fed the poor and paid tithes
to the church.

The
only way to have eternal life is to follow and obey Jesus, to live
according to His words, as recorded in Matthew, Mark, Luke and
John. Repent and be baptized in water for the forgiveness of your
sins. SIN NO MORE, BE HOLY. Seek Jesus in prayer and He will give
His Holy Spirit in you to teach and guide you, so that you can know
Him, follow and obey Him, and have eternal life. Seek Jesus every
day, listen to Him, obey, serve and follow Him until the end and you
will have eternal life.

Don't
go to church, like the false Christians. Be a disciple of Jesus
Christ. Seek Him and you will find Him. Deny yourself, pick up your
cross every day and follow Jesus. It will not be easy. Without
Jesus and without Him helping you, you will not make it into heaven.
Follow Jesus and stay with Him, until the end.

May
Jesus bless you.

A STRONG DELUSION

Most Christian believers are under a strong delusion. They are under

religious delusions that are extremely dangerous because they believe
lies and false teachings that they accept for truth. It is virtually
impossible to bring them to the truth because they have religious
spirits, demons that direct and control them. This is true about all
religious people, of all religions and beliefs, including atheists.
They are resistant to the truth. That is also the reason why they
will not trust and follow Jesus. They trust in their doctrines, that
are supported by Bible verse, that have been distorted and
misapplied.

The
only words that lead to eternal life are the words of Jesus, if you
obey them. Jesus said: “the words that I have spoken to you are
spirit and are life.” John 6:63. Religious people skip over the
words of Jesus and disregard them in favor of other scriptures, and
the doctrines of men.

It
is only when we obey and apply the words and commandments of Jesus
that we get to know Him, are born again, become children of God, gain
understanding of the truth, and have the hope of eternal life. Jesus
alone is the way, the life and the truth. He said: “Therefore
everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on them, may be
compared to a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25“And the
rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and slammed
against that house; and yet it did not fall, for it had been founded
on the rock. 26“Everyone who hears these words of Mine and does not
act on them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the
sand. 27“The rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and
slammed against that house; and it fell—and great was its fall.”
Matthew 7:24-27.

The
words of Jesus were recorded in Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.
Those are the words of eternal life. All other doctrines and
teachings, that do not point to obedience to Jesus are vain,
distraction and deception. Jesus said: ”BUT IN VAIN DO THEY
WORSHIP ME, TEACHING AS DOCTRINES THE PRECEPTS OF MEN.” Matthew
15:9.

Most
Christians are not born-again and do not see the kingdom of God.
They do not recognize, serve and honor Jesus as Lord. They do not
know Him. They know about Him and have a false perception of Him.
They do not know His voice. They are not His sheep. They do not
follow Him and they will not have eternal life. Even most of those
who experienced Jesus for real and were born-again, do not follow
Him. They were caught in a strong delusion, because they did not seek
the truth. They became religious and follow after men, and false
doctrines.

Jesus
alone is the way, the life and the truth. If you seek Him, obey His
words and keep on seeking Him, He will guide you into all truth. He
will open your eyes and ears, to see and hear and He will give you
understanding of the truth. He will take the blinkers of religious
deception off your eyes and reveal the truth to you, IF YOU TRUST
Him. Most believers do not trust Jesus and therefore they remain
deluded and become even more deluded, because they do not seek the
truth. They just want security of salvation, that the lying, cheating
religious leaders promise them, through their man-man made carnal
doctrines.

Most
Christians trust more in the doctrines of men, their writings, books,
teachings and Bible commentaries than in Jesus. They run after
famous preachers, attend their conferences, buy their books, tapes
and paraphernalia, but they will not pray and ask Jesus for guidance.
They regard the Holy Spirit as some fuzzy feeling and reject Him,
despise Him. They are carnal people who trust in their physical
senses and intellect, and therefor they do not seek Jesus, nor His
Spirit to guide them. Because of their corrupt hearts God has given
them over to a strong delusion. Because they are dishonest, not
seeking the truth, but seeking falsehood, they have been given to
false teachings, like OSAS (once saved always saved), pre-election,
the false grace gospel, so that they will not repent and stop
sinning. They are vile, shameless unrepentant sinners, not holy
saints that follow and obey Jesus. They follow after the false
teachers, wolves in sheep's clothing and confess to be all sinners,
while they believe they have salvation. They are under a strong
delusion and they are on their way to hell.

All
the churches in this world are under the delusion. Their leaders and
preachers are taught by the same seminaries, and Bible schools. They
only ordain and hire clergy that were trained by their
indoctrination centers, Bible Schools, and who support their false
doctrines. The church members and church goers are deluded. They
serve and follow the church leadership, not Jesus Christ.

The
true followers of Jesus, His sheep, who hear His voice and who
follow Him in truth, those who walk in the Light and are lead by the
Holy Spirit, they are hated, rejected and persecuted by the
churches and the deluded false Christians. They are not accept by
the world.

If
you follow Jesus and are part of His kingdom, you will fit in
nowhere, but you will know the truth and the truth will set you free.
The whole world is running in many directions, but they are all lost
and heading for destruction. They are happy in their delusion but all
their plans lead to nothing. In the end they were fools. They die and
perish in hell.

There
is only one way to eternal life and that is Jesus, to follow and obey
Him. Are you on the straight, narrow road, following Jesus or are
you on the broad unrestrained road to destruction? Are you religious?
Are you a church goer? Are you deluded, or do you know Jesus and are
you following Him?

May
Jesus bless you.

MANY WILL FALL

Many profess to be Christians and confess that they believe in Jesus.
They are confident that they have salvation and they say they trust
in Jesus but when tribulation comes and when the storms of life come
against them, their faith is shattered. When trials and temptation
come against them they are powerless, they give in and are
defeated,without hope and without direction..

Many
fall because they never truly learned to trust in Jesus. Their faith
was based on hearing from other people, preachers and even from true
followers of Jesus. Their faith might have been based on Bible
verses. However, they never applied what they heard and learned. They
never OBEYED the teachings and commandments of Jesus, as they were
also recorded in Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.

After
Jesus had delivered the sermon on the mount He said: 24“Therefore
everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on them, may be
compared to a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25“And the
rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and slammed
against that house; and yet it did not fall, for it had been founded
on the rock. 26“Everyone who hears these words of Mine and does not
act on them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the
sand. 27“The rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and
slammed against that house; and it fell—and great was its fall.”
Matthew 7:24-27.

It
is only when the believer OBEYS the words and commandments of Jesus,
that his faith comes into ACTION. Faith without works is dead. Faith
without action proves nothing. Faith only grows with practice.
Practice makes perfect. The faith of many is weak and therefor fails,
because it was never practiced, tested and proven. Your faith muscles
only develop with training and continued practice. If you are lazy or
unfaithful you become weak and vulnerable, and will surely be
destroyed by the enemy.

Many
believers are like those who love to go to the gym to watch others
train. They love to watch Christian movies, and listen to the
testimonies of others, but they themselves never become active
followers of Jesus. They have many versions of the Bible and great
libraries of Christian books, writings, tapes and paraphernalia. They
are involved in endless conferences and Bible studies. They are into
Christian fellowship and church, house church and worship. All those
things might be very pleasant and religious. They might have an
appearance of godliness but they are unfruitful and useless if they
never start obeying and following Jesus.

Being
a Christian and having eternal life is about one thing only, and that
is to be one of Jesus‘ sheep, who hear His voice, who is known by
Him, and who follows Him. Jesus said: 27“My sheep hear My voice,
and I know them, and they follow Me; 28and I give eternal life to
them,” John 10:27. It is about OBEDIENCE, TRUST and OBEDIENCE
all the way until the end.

If
you are not willing to repent, turn away from all sin, turn from
following after your own ambitions, plans and desires, how can you
follow Jesus? If you are not even willing to be baptized in water, as
Jesus commanded, how will you obey Him in greater things? If you do
not trust Jesus more than your own abilities, your own mind, your own
interpretation of the Bible, how will you trust Him when He speaks to
you? How will you follow Him if He calls you? If you trust more in
psychology than in Jesus, how will you follow Him? If He speaks to
you, will you run to the psychologist and tell him you are hearing
voice, or will you say:”Speak Lord, Your servant is listening?

“Faith
comes by the hearing of the Word of God. " Will you BELIEVE and
EXERCISE your FAITH when you HEAR Jesus speaking to you? His sheep
hear His voice and they follow Him. Are you one of His sheep?

Will
Jesus speak to you? He will if you are serious about following Him.
If you call out to Him to save you from your sins and accept Him, to
be your Lord and Master, He will save you. He will wipe out your past
sins, and empower you to become a child of God. He will make you NEW
inside, BORN AGAIN with the HOPE of ETERNAL LIFE, if, you OBEY Him,
TRUST Him and stay with Him until the end.

IF
you OBEY the teachings and commandments of Jesus, He will disclose
Himself to you, He will reveal Himself to you, speak to you and guide
you. We read in John 14:21 Jesus said: “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.”

If
you OBEY Jesus, repent, are baptized in water and live in obedience
to His Words and Commandments (as recorded in Matthew, Mark, Luke
and John), He will baptize you in the Holy Spirit, He and the Father
will come and dwell with you. He will speak to you, guide you, teach
you, you will come into fellowship, communion, with Him. You will
become His sheep, who HEAR His voice and are able to follow Him.

Most
believers never get that far in their relationship with Jesus. They
stay spiritual infants, that never grow to maturity. They FALL, they
are destroyed by satan. Their house comes crushing down because they
did not build on the firm foundation, OBEDIENCE to the Words and
commandments of Jesus They believed the false gospels that are
preached in churches. They built their house on the sand.

Will
you STAND? Will your faith hold? Will you overcome the evil one?
Will you ENDURE with Jesus until the end? Are you one of His sheep,
who HEAR His voice and FOLLOW Him every day? Without Jesus we can
do nothing. Are you WITH Jesus?

Will
you stand, or will you fall?

May
Jesus bless you.

WALKING IN VICTORY

The born again child of God is empowered to live in victory over the

flesh and the world. The power does not lie in the person himself,
but in the Spirit that dwells in him, the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of
Christ. Many claim to be born again but they are not victorious. They
are tossed around by every new teaching and they do not have victory
over the devil and the flesh.

If
we follow Jesus and are guided by the Holy Spirit, the devil and the
flesh will have no control over us. The devil controls, deceives and
destroys the world through lies. He leads people down the road of
destruction because they listen to him.

Jesus
is the Good Shepherd His sheep hear His voice and they follow Him.
He guides and protects them, and He gives them eternal life. Jesus
cares for all His sheep, but not all of His sheep listen to Him and
follow Him, and that is why they are being destroyed. They listen to
other people, they follow after preachers and churches, the wolves
in sheep’s clothing.

Jesus
gives His Holy Spirit in everyone who seeks and obeys Him, who
repents and is baptized, who obeys His teachings and commandments as
recorded in Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Jesus guides His own
sheep. He did not appoint other shepherds. Most Christian believers
are not His sheep, they were never born again. Others were born
again but they are not following Jesus and that is why they are
deceived, defeated and destroyed by satan.

Are
you WALKING IN VICTORY? Are you following Jesus, the Good Shepherd,
or are you following after strangers and being destroyed?

When
last did you read the 23rd Psalm and does it have real meaning to
you? Is Jesus, your Lord and Shepherd?

1The
LORD is my shepherd,
I shall not want.

2He makes me lie down in green
pastures;
He leads me beside quiet waters.


3He restores my soul;
He
guides me in the paths of righteousness
For His name’s sake.


 4Even though I walk
through the valley of the shadow of death,
I fear no evil, for
Thou are with me;
Thy rod and Thy staff, they comfort me.


5Thou preparest a table before
me in the presence of mine enemies: Thou anointest my head with oil;
my cup runneth over.


6Surely goodness and mercy
shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the
house of the LORD for ever.

May
Jesus bless you.

CAN YOU STOP SINNING IN YOUR OWN POWER?

The whole world is in the power of the evil one, because of sin. The

reason for sin and corruption is lust. People sin when they follow
their own sinful desires. People become addicted and demon possessed
when they open the door to demons through sin, watching TV,
pornography, reading evil books, like Harry Potter, video games, and
substance abuse. Then they become compelled and driven by evil forces
that seek to destroy them. They lose control of themselves. They are
slaves to sin and cannot escape. The wages of sin is death. The soul
that sins will die. As long as you keep on sinning you are doomed and
destined for hell and destruction. 

That
is why Jesus came, to take away the sins of the world, to set the
captives free, those who are bound by sin. We read in John 1:29, John
the Baptist saw Jesus coming to him and said:"Behold, the
Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!”  

Only
Jesus can set you free from the bondage of sin. We read in John 8:34
Jesus said: “Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who commits sin
is the slave of sin. 35“The slave does not remain in the house
forever; the son does remain forever. 36“So if the Son makes you
free, you will be free indeed. If the Son of God, Jesus, sets you
free. You will not be a slave to sin any more, you will be FREE from
the bondage of sin. 

If
you come to Jesus and ACCEPT Him, He will set you free and make you
NEW inside, a child of God. We read in John 1:12 “But as many as
received Him, to them He gave the power 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.”
You MUST be BORN AGAIN. 

If
you RECEIVE Jesus, EMBRACE Him, ACCEPT Him as you Lord and Master,
COME TO Him, bow down before Him, SUBMIT yourself to Him; PRAY, cry
out to Him to SAVE you, He will save you from your sin. He will set
you free from the bondage of sin, but you need to stay with Jesus and
OBEY Him, to stay free. 

Repent,
turn away from sin and from your previous lifestyle of worldliness
and going after the desires of the flesh. Follow
after Jesus,  stop sinning, live holy. Be baptized in water
for the forgiveness of your sins. Live according to
the words of  Jesus as they were
recorded in Matthew,  Mark,  Luke and John.  

If
you turn away from Jesus and go back to sin, you will
become MORE ENSLAVED than before you met Jesus, you will be
worse off than before. That is why many Christians
are wicked  sinners who are
unable to stop sinning. No wonder that the writer of Hebrews
wrote in Hebrews 6:4 “For
in the case of those who have once been enlightened and have tasted
of the heavenly gift and have been made partakers of the Holy
Spirit, 5and
have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to
come, 6and then have
fallen away, it is impossible to renew them again to repentance,
since they again crucify to themselves the Son of God and put Him to
open shame. 7For
ground that drinks the rain which often falls on it and brings forth
vegetation useful to those for whose sake it is also tilled, receives
a blessing from God; 8but
if it yields thorns and thistles, it is worthless and close to being
cursed, and it ends up being burned.” 

It
is however not the end of the line for those who have back-slided.
There is hope if such a person truly
repents, as we see in the parable of the prodigal
son in Luke 15:11-32. If
you are a prodigal son or daughter, RUN back to the
Father's house before
it might be forever too late. 

Sinners
will NOT enter heaven, if they do not repent and stop sinning.
Without holiness no one will see the
Lord. As long as you keep sinning, you
are DEAD in sin and DOOMED to damnation. 

You
can only stay FREE FROM SIN as long as you stay with Jesus. Without
Jesus we can do nothing.  If you sin and end up in
hell, you only have yourself to blame, because you rejected
Jesus and went away from Him.  

Run
to Jesus. Ask Him to save you. Then obey and stay with
Him. Be holy and SIN NO MORE. 

May
Jesus bless you.  

PERSISTENCE DILIGENCE AND OBEDIENCE

Salvation is not just about believing  in Jesus  Christ, it is a journey. Jesus

invites everybody to follow Him and have eternal life,  but
very few stay with  Jesus and endure with Him until the
end. It requires PERSISTENCE and DILIGENCE to stay with
Jesus until the end. You will have to
use all your strength and you will have to hang on to Jesus
for dear life, because without Him you will not be able to make
it. Your journey with Jesus starts when you accept Him as you Lord and Master,

and from then onwards you have to submit to Him and obey
Him, every step of the way, until the end. Nobody can snatch you
out of His  hand, but if you decide to leave Him or
disobeying Him, He will not stop you. Jesus
will not accommodate your opinion, your preferences or
feelings. You either obey and follow  Him or you part ways with
Him, in which case, you are heading for destruction. You
cannot follow Jesus if you do not absolutely trust and obey
Him. 

First
you have to REPENT  and BE BAPTIZED. To repent  means to
TURN from SIN and from your previous way of living, going after your
selfish desires, ambitions and the pleasures of sin. You cannot
follow Jesus if you are still going after those things. You have to
give up your rights and privileges of self-determination. You have to
totally submit to Jesus and DIE to SELF so that you can LIVE FOR
Jesus and follow Him. Once you have REPENTED you have to be baptized
in water for the remission, the cancellation of debt, of
your past sins. You cannot follow Jesus, if you have not been
baptized for the remission of your sins. Then you have to
live holy and sin no more.

You have to live in obedience to the teachings and commandments of
Jesus, HIS WORDS, as they were also recorded in Matthew, Mark, Luke
and John. 

Jesus promised the baptism in the Holy Spirit to those who wish to
follow Him and have therefor obeyed Him, repented and been baptized.
The Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Christ, will come and dwell IN THEM
and GUIDE them so that they can FOLLOW Jesus and DO what He requires
of them, the WORKS that He has prepared for them to do. You cannot
follow Jesus, if you have not received the Holy Spirit. “Those who
are being led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.”
Romans 8:14. 

If we wish to follow Jesus and have eternal life, WE have to
continuously SEEK Him in PRAYER. We have to seek the baptism in the
Holy Spirit so that we can experience the indwelling presence and
guidance of Jesus, through the Holy Spirit in us. We have to live
holy and reserve ourselves to Jesus. If we should sin and disobey
Him, we will GRIEVE the Holy Spirit and He might stop speaking to us.
We have to seek His guidance and obey Him. “Without faith it is
impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe
that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who
diligently seek Him.” Hebrews 11:6. 

Our faith will be tested. Our loyalty to Jesus will be tested. Our
obedience and perseverance will be tested. We have to be persistent
in all circumstances and never give up, no matter what our
circumstances are. We must be faithful in our devotion to Jesus,
praying, seeking Him, keep our mind on Him, expecting Him. Listening
to Him and staying tuned in to Him. He will fill us with His thoughts
as we desire and yearn for Him. He will not force Himself on us. We
have to diligently seek Him, trust in Him, expect Him, even though
things around us do not look favorable or do not work out as we hoped
or expected.. 

Jesus will always be with us. He will not leave us, even in sickness,
pain, misfortune, disappointment, heartbreak, sadness, Jesus is
there. If we stay focused on Him, we will recognize His hand and hear
His voice. He will teach and guide us in many ways. Often things will
not work out the way that we hoped or expected. Keep trusting Him. He
knows what He is doing, and He makes all things work together for
good, for those who love Him and seek Him, because they are called
for His purpose. He will give us understanding and wisdom, if we stay
with Him. He will give us the power to endure and pass every test so
that we can win the prize of eternal life in the end. 

We need to be persistent, diligent and obedient, never give up.
Endure until the end. There is a prize for over-comers. We have to
stay with Jesus until the end, because without Him, we cannot make
it.  Without Jesus, we can do nothing. 

Have you started the journey, following Jesus? Are you following and
obeying every day? Are you persistent and diligent, seeking and doing
His will? Do you still have the hope of eternal life? 

May Jesus bless you. 

WILL YOU WORK FOR JESUS?

Will you work for Jesus? Will you serve Him? Jesus is Lord. The kingdom

of heaven belongs to Him. He will decide who will go in there and who
not. It is not in vain that Jesus told the parable of the talents.
We read in Matthew 25:14-30.

14“For it
is just like a man about to go on a journey, who
called his own slaves and entrusted his possessions to them. 15“To
one he gave five talents, to another, two, and to another, one, each
according to his own ability; and he went on his
journey. 16“Immediately the one who had received the five
talents went and traded with them, and gained five more
talents. 17“In the same manner the one who had
received the two talents gained two more. 18“But
he who received the one talent went away, and dug a
hole in the ground and hid his master’s money.

      19“Now
after a long time the master of those slaves came and settled
accounts with them. 20“The one who had received the five
talents came up and brought five more talents, saying, ‘Master, you
entrusted five talents to me. See, I have gained five more
talents.’21“His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and
faithful slave. You were faithful with a few things, I will put you
in charge of many things; enter into the joy of your master.’

      22“Also
the one who had received the two talents came up and said,
‘Master, you entrusted two talents to me. See, I have gained two
more talents.’ 23“His master said to him, ‘Well done, good
and faithful slave. You were faithful with a few things, I will put
you in charge of many things; enter into the joy of your master.’

      24“And
the one also who had received the one talent came up and said,
‘Master, I knew you to be a hard man, reaping where you did not sow
and gathering where you scattered no seed. 25‘And I was
afraid, and went away and hid your talent in the ground. See, you
have what is yours.’

      26“But
his master answered and said to him, ‘You wicked, lazy slave, you
knew that I reap where I did not sow and gather where I scattered
no seed. 27‘Then you ought to have put my money in the
bank, and on my arrival I would have received my money back
with interest. 28‘Therefore take away the talent from him, and
give it to the one who has the ten talents.’

      29“For
to everyone who has, more shall be given, and he will have
an abundance; but from the one who does not have, even what he does
have shall be taken away. 30“Throw out the worthless slave
into the outer darkness; in that place there will be weeping and
gnashing of teeth.”

That is what will
happen to born again children of God that are unfruitful. They will
end up in hell.

Are we using our
talents, our abilities, our resources and time for the kingdom of
God? Are we serving Jesus and bringing souls to Him? Or are we hiding
our talents, wasting them on the things of the world?

Will we work for
Jesus?

May Jesus bless you.
