How to be Born Again

You have to be born again to enter the kingdom of heaven, and there's only one person who can

make you knew, that can make you a child of God, and that is Jesus
Christ. But He will only do it if you truly desire to be born again.
If you truly want to be born again you have to decide, and make up
your mind whether you want to follow and obey Jesus Christ, whether
you want to live according to His commands. You must make up your
mind whether you are willing to deny yourself, to give up yourself,
to give up your own desires, to give up your sin, whether you are
willing to give up everything, to obey Jesus Christ.

If you are not determined
to live according to the words of Jesus, if you're not determined to
stop sinning, to turn away from sin, and from going after the lust of
the flesh, and the things of the world, then you're not serious. If
you're not serious, then you are wasting your time asking Jesus to
make you new, because Jesus will answer your prayer, and He will make
you new, if you are serious. If you pray and repent of your sin, from
your heart and you committed to never go back to that same sin again,
you committed to be holy and to obey the words of Jesus at all costs,
then He will answer your prayer. If you believe that Jesus is God,
that He is real, then He will answer your prayer, but if you're not
serious, you will not be born again. If you're not willing to obey
all the commands of Jesus, the words that He spoke, to repent, and be
baptized in water, and to receive the Holy Spirit, to listen to, and
obey the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Christ, living in you, and to be
led by the Spirit; if you're not willing and eager to follow and obey
Jesus, and go with Him all the way, then your prayer is fruitless,
you will not be born again.

If you are serious about
being born again, being a child of God, different from the rest of
the world, being like Jesus, and you pray, and you ask Him, He will
change you, He will make you new inside. He will forgive your past
sins, He will receive you with joy, He will give you peace, a peace
that passes all understanding, but if you are not serious, nothing
will happen; you will just go on the same as you were before and you
will end up in hell. If you want to be born again, you have to
believe that Jesus is God, that He is real. You have to believe His
words, and commit to obey Him, and follow Him, until the very end; to
turn away from sin, and sin no more, to be baptized in water, and to
seek His Holy Spirit, to dwell in you, to guide you, to seek His
voice, to listen to Him and follow Him, every day. If you are that
serious,

Jesus will make new, you
will become a child of God. But if those things are not present with
you, if you never stop sinning, if you were not baptized in water, if
you were not led by the Holy Spirit, then you were not born again.
Many people have been deceived; they have been told that if they just
believe, and say a prayer after somebody else, then they are born
again. If there's no fruit, there's no proof that you've changed,
that you are like Jesus Christ, and that you are living for the
kingdom of God, then you 're not born again. Are you born again? Has
Jesus changed you, and is that change outwardly visible, by all
people, that you are like Jesus Christ, you born again. Have you been
born again?

May Jesus bless you.

Stubborn Ignorant Christians

There is a lot of deception among Christians, a lot of false teaching, doctrines away from the truth. There is only one truth and that truth is Jesus Christ. If we are deceived it is by our own will that we are deceived. I will tell you, why.

We read in James 1:5 "But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him."

 Why do we not have wisdom if it is so easy to get wisdom by just asking the Lord Jesus in prayer? The reason is that we think that we are clever and it is especially the educated people that close out the true knowledge from the Holy Spirit. The Gospel of Jesus Christ is so easy that a child can understand it. Jesus said that the Kingdom of God belongs to children, little children. Why? They just accept it, but the clever adults are so indoctrinated and so opinionated that they will not even take any wisdom from God. They read all kinds of books, each others thoughts and their own interpretations; they are too wise to accept an answer from God.

We read in Luke 24:45 Jesus opened the mind of His disciples, He says "He opened their minds to understand the Scriptures."

Unless Christ Himself opens our mind we cannot understand the scriptures. The carnal mind cannot understand it and that is why we are in darkness. Because we try and figure things out with our minds and we are not dependent on Jesus Christ. We don’t go to the Lord in prayer and say: Lord teach me Your ways! That is why we are IGNORANT, why we will be JUDGED for our STUBBORN IGNORANCE.

If we ASK from the Lord Jesus we shall receive. The reason why people do not receive is because they are opinionated. If the Lord Jesus Himself tells you something and you something contrary to your understanding or insight of the Bible you refuse to accept it.

If we are more clever than Christ, He will not talk to us. If I filter everything that the Holy Spirit tells me, He will not speak to me. I think that I know better than Jesus, He will not speak to me, He will ignore me.

If I go to Christ and I ask for wisdom I must go with an open mind, trust in the Lord and then He will reveal Himself to me. If we regard our own insight, "discernment"  which is just prejudice, more than Christ, I idolize myself and I reject God.

The only true wisdom is  in Jesus Christ. We must trust in Him and not lean on out own understanding. We must ASK HIM to OPEN OUR MIND, then we will gain understanding.

It is written in Revelations 3:18 Jesus said: "I advise you to buy from Me gold refined by fire so that you may become rich, and white garments so that you may clothe yourself, and that the shame of your nakedness will not be revealed; and eye salve to anoint your eyes so that you may see."

Unless the Holy Spirit open our eyes we will not see we will be blinded. Blinded by our own ARROGANCE. And that is why it is closed it is locked up for the clever people of this world, for the wise people of this world and that is why God will confined the wise and those who are clever and opinionated. He will give it to children, He will open it up to those who TRUST HIM, who come to Him with a trusting heart and say: Lord I don’t know how it works?

We need to be reformatted. If we want to follow Jesus we must TRUST HIM WITH ALL OUR HEART and NOT LEAN ON OUR OWN
UNDERSTANDING. Not try and filter everything through our own carnal mind. We must ASK the LORD to OPEN our MINDS and then we will understand the scriptures and then we will understand many other things as well. If we don’t get into a TRUST RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS CHRIST we shall never know the truth and we shall be JUDGE because of idolizing our own mind and our own insight our own stubbornness will JUDGE us.

When you Stop Trusting in God

When a nation and the
people trust in God it goes well with them, but when they stop
trusting in God, and when they defy God, things go bad with them.

I want to read for you
what happened to a king of Judah that stopped trusting in God. I read
from 2 Chronicles chapter 16. "In the 36th year of Asa's reign,
Baasha king of Israel came up against Judah and fortified Ramah in
order to prevent anyone from going out or coming in to Asa king of
Judah. Then Asa brought out silver and gold from the treasures of the
house of the Lord and the King's house and sent them to Ben-hadad
king of Aram, who lived in Damascus, saying. "Let there be a
treaty between you and me, as between my father and your father.
Behold, I have sent you silver and gold; go break your treaty with
Baasha king of Israel so that he will withdraw from me." So
Ben-hadad listened to King Asa and sent the commanders of his armies
against the cities of Israel, and they conquered by Ijon, Dan,
Abelmaím and all the stores cities of Naphtali. When Baasha
heard of it, he ceased fortifying Ramah and stopped his work. Then
King Asa brought all Judah, and they carried away the stones of Rama
and its timber with which Baasha had been building, and with them he
fortified Geba and Mispah. At that time Hanani the seer came to Asa
king of Judah and said to him, "Because you have relied on the
king of Aram and have not relied on the Lord your God, therefore the
army of the king of Aram has escaped out of your hand. Were not the
Ethiopians and Lubim an immense army with very many chariots and
horsemen? Yet because you relied on the Lord, He delivered them into
your hand. For the eyes of the Lord move to and fro throughout the
earth that He may strongly support those whose heart is completely
His. You have acted foolishly in this. Indeed from now on you will
surely have wars. Then Asa was angry with the seer and put him in
prison, for he was enraged at him for this. And Asa oppressed some of
the people at the same time." We further read in verse 12 , "In
the 39th year of his reign Asa became diseased in his feet. His
disease was severe, yet even in his disease he did

not seek the Lord but the
physicians."

And that is the mistake
that many people make. That is the mistake that a nation makes when
they stopped trusting in God. This is a statement of what used to be,
(Displaying a dollar bill) and what has been taken off the currency.
"IN GOD WE TRUST."

When we stop trusting in
God, God takes his hand of protection away from us, and we will
suffer. We will be afflicted. God protects those who trust in Him
but those who deny Him, He will certainly also deny. If we turn back
to God, if we obey Him, if we trust Him; He will protect us. But if
we scoff Him and mock Him, and trust in ourselves and make
allegiances with other nations, then God takes His hand away from us
and we will perish. The nation and the people that puts its trust in
God, will be exalted, but those who turn away from God will be
afflicted, will perish. Is your trust in God? Or do you trust in
yourself, and other people, in alliances with other people, in your
own abilities, and army; or do you trust in God. Trust in God and you
will never be defeated.

May Jesus bless you.

Without Jesus America Will Never Be Great

Without Jesus, America will never be great. If you trust in God, you have hope. But those who turn their back on God will perish.

Without Jesus, we can do nothing, but if you want to trust in Jesus, you have to obey Him; you have to turn away from your wicked ways. You must repent from your wrongdoing, you must repent from going after your own desires and you must obey Jesus Christ. Obey His words, or you will perish.

Repent of your evil ways. Repent of your sin, and be baptized in water. Seek Jesus Christ with all your heart and He will give His Spirit to come and dwell in you. He will guide you and He will teach you, and He will give you hope; He will make you prosper, if you follow and obey Him. But if you disregard Him, you will perish.

Without Jesus Christ, we can do nothing.

May Jesus bless you.

Real Faith Produces ACTION

Faith that does not
produce action is useless,it is dead. The Apostle James wrote that
just like the body without the Spirit is dead, even the same, faith
without works is dead. If we say that we believe that Jesus Christ is
Lord, then certainly we must obey Him. Jesus Christ commanded those
who believed in Him, to follow Him.

Those who did believed in
Him, did follow Him. They obeyed His words and they followed Him.
Those who did not believe, took no action. If you truly believe that
Jesus Christ is Lord, and that He will judge all mankind, if you
truly believe that Jesus Christ is God, you will fear Him. If you
believe that He is alive then you will want to know Him. But most
believers do not believe that Jesus Christ is God; they do not
believe that He is alive, they believe lies. They have been told that
they only need to believe in Jesus Christ for salvation, and then
they will have eternal life. They are foolish. Faith without works is
dead.

Jesus Christ said:"Why
do you call Me Lord, Lord and you do not want I say? If Jesus Christ
is Lord, then certainly we must obey Him in order to enter His
kingdom. If we disobey Him, we are not serious, and we will perish.
Jesus Christ commanded that each and everyone who believes in Him,
must obey His words, because His words are the words of eternal life
for those who obey Him. If you truly believe in Jesus Christ you will
go after Him. You will turn away from going after your own senseless
desires and ambitions. You will turn away from sin, you will go after
Jesus, you will obey Him, repent, stop sinning, be holy, and you will
be baptized in water for the washing off of your sin, like Jesus
Christ commanded. Jesus Christ promised His Holy Spirit will come and
dwell in each and every person who obeys His words, who repents and
who is baptized. The Spirit of Christ will come and dwell with them,
and He will guide them. He will teach them, they will get to know
Him. They will follow Him and they will serve Him. We cannot serve
Jesus Christ if we do not have the Holy Spirit. We cannot follow
Him, if we do not hear His voice, but we will not hear His voice, we
will not receive the Holy Spirit, if we do not obey Him and turn from
our own wicked ways, turn from our own senseless existence, and go
after Him. But if you do not believe in Jesus, you will do nothing.
You will, just like so many deceived believers, also believe that you
have salvation because you believe in Jesus Christ, and you will
quote Bible verses to prove it, but you don't know Jesus, you don't
know His voice, you have no relationship with Him. You are only
fooling yourself because faith without action is dead. Do you believe
in Jesus Christ?

Do you obey Him? Have you
repented, stopped sinning? Have you been baptized in water? Have you
received the baptism in the Holy Spirit and you hear His voice? Do
you follow Him? Do you go after Him? Do you bear fruit for the
kingdom of God, because you work for the kingdom of God, because you
are in Christ? Or are you dead in your sins, because your faith is
dead? It has not produced any action? Faith without works is dead. Is
your faith alive dear friend? Do you truly know Jesus Christ and are
you bearing fruit for the kingdom of God?

May Jesus bless you.

Do you BELIEVE?

Many Christians confess
their faith in Jesus but their faith is not real. They do not really
have faith. They believe that they have salvation because they say
that they believe in Jesus Christ, but faith without works is dead.
If our faith does not produce works of faith, things that we do in
obedience to God, because we believe in Him, then that faith cannot
save us, then that faith is worthless.

We read in Hebrews chapter
11 verse 6 "And without faith it is impossible to please God,
because anyone who approaches Him, must believe that He exists, and
that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him." Many people say
that they believe in Jesus, but do they really believe. Do you really
believe in Jesus? Do you believe that if you pray that He will answer
your prayer? Will you do what Jesus tells you to do if He speaks to
you? Is Jesus that real to you? Because if Jesus is not that real to
you then you do not really believe, then your faith is null, void and
empty.

We read in Hebrews chapter
11 verse 7:"By faith Noah, when warned about things not yet
seen, in godly fear built an ark to save his family. By faith he
condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness that comes
by faith." When God spoke to Noah and warned him about the big
flood that would come, what did Noah do? He built an ark to save him
and his family. If God speaks to you and to me and tells us to build
an ark or to move away from where we are; will we do it? Will we
believe that God's spoke to us? Do we really know Him? Will we obey
Him? Why was Noah justified? Because he obeyed God. He believed what
God told him.

The same with Abraham. We
read in Hebrews chapter 11 verse 8:"By faith Abraham, when
called to go to a place he would later receive us his inheritance,
obeyed and went without knowing where he was going. By faith he
dwelled in the promised land as a stranger, in a foreign country. He
lived in tents as did Isaac and Jacob who were heirs with him of the
same promise; for he was looking forward to the city with foundations
whose architect and builder is God." God spoke to Abraham and
He told him to move to a distant country far away. He did not know
where he would arrive at, he did not know what it would be like when
he arrives there. Did he doubt God? No, he obeyed God, and that is
why God justified him, because his faith was real.

We also read in verse
11:"by faith Sarah even though she was barren and beyond the
opportune age was enabled to conceive a child, because she considered
Him faithful, who had promised, and so from one man, and he was as
good as dead, came descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky,
and as countless as the sand on the seashore." Sarah believed it
when the messenger of God came and said to her that she will have a
boy. She was barren and Abraham was an old man. Did they they doubt
Him? No, they did not. They believed in God. They believed that He
would do what He promised. He promised Abraham that his descendants
would be as many as the stars in heaven and as the sand by the
seaside. Abraham believed Him.

If God spoke to you and
me, would we believe Him? Would we leave everything that we have,
that we've worked for all our life,and go where Jesus sends us? Do
you really believe? Most people do not believe in Jesus. If they
believed in Jesus, they would obey Him. Do you really believe that
Jesus Christ is God? Do you really believe that He will judge all
men? Do you believe? So, if you believe, do you obey His words? Jesus
said:"Repent and be baptized." Most believers do not obey
the words of Jesus. They say:" I cannot stop sinning."
Jesus said:"If the Son of God has set you free, you will be
free, and free indeed." But they say:"I cannot stop
sinning." Do they really believe? Obviously they don't. Do they
believe that if they pray Jesus will answer their prayer and supply
in all their needs." If Jesus tells you today to quit your job,
leave everything that you've worked for all your life and go
somewhere else, that you do not know. Will you go? Will you obey Him?
How real is your faith?

"The righteous one
will live by faith and if he withdraws, says the Lord, My soul will
have no pleasure in him." We cannot follow Jesus Christ, if we
are not willing to live by faith, if we are not willing to leave
everything and go after Him. Many want to know:"If I follow
Jesus, must I stop watching TV?" "Will I have to give up
this, or that, or the other? What will happen to me? What kind of a
job will I have to do? Will I become homeless?" Do you really
believe? Do you believe that He's God Almighty, and that all things
belong to Him? Do you believe that He has prepared a place in heaven
for those who love Him, who follow Him, and who obey Him? Do you
really believe that? Or do you just believe that you have salvation
because you confess that you believe in Jesus? But you do not believe
because you will not obey Him. You are only fooling yourself, dear
friend, because you do not believe. Your faith has not produced any
works. The works that Jesus requires of us, is obedience. We have to
obey His words the, gospel of Jesus Christ, repent and be baptized,
and then He promised that He will give His Holy Spirit in us, to
guide us, to be with us, to teach us, but people don't want it. They
rather go after people, they believe in the preachers. They believe
in the Bible, their interpretation of the Bible. They don't believe
in Jesus Christ. The Pharisees believed in the Scriptures, the Torah,
and when the King of Glory, the Messiah came; did they believe that
He truly was the One that would come? No they did not. They crucified
Him.

Do you really believe that
Jesus Christ is Lord? Do do you believe He is alive? If you do, you
will take action. You will leave everything and you will go after
Him, but if you don't your faith is worthless. Because if you do not
go after Jesus, if you do not obey His words and do not repent and be
baptized, and do not receive the gift of the Holy Spirit, so that
Christ dwells in you and guides you, then you will never know Him.
You will never follow Him, and you know? Jesus will say to you:"Go
away I never knew you, you worker of wickedness." You were never
justified, because you never believed, you never put action to your
faith, you never went after Jesus Christ. Do you understand, dear
friend, what it means to be justified by faith? You have to go after
the One in whom you believe, because as it is written in Hebrews
chapter 11 verse 6: Without faith it is impossible to please God,
because the one who goes to Him, must believe that He is, and that He
is a rewarder, of those who seek Him and who go after Him.

Do you believe that? Do
you believe that Jesus Christ will reward you with eternal life, do
you believe that He has a place prepared in heaven, for those who
follow and who obey Him? If you really do believe, then go after Him,
because without Jesus there's no hope, there's no future.

Dear friend, do you
believe?

May Jesus bless you.

Neutralized and Eliminated by the Respect for Men

Many servants of God are
neutralized and eliminated through the fear of men, the respect of
men. If you speak the words of God then people will hate you, they
will reject, you they will persecute you. You will not be accepted by
people if you speak the words of God, and people will leave you. The
church members will disappear, the contributions and donations will
disappear. They will call your heretic and they will persecute you.

But if you do not speak
the words of God, if you compromise for the acceptance of men, you
will be neutralized, you will be eliminated. If you respect men more
than God then you cannot be a disciple of Jesus Christ, and you
cannot bear fruit for the kingdom of God. Many preachers have been
compromised, because they were offered a nice positions in churches,
provided that they speak the words of the church, that they do not
speak harshly, that they do not speak about sin, that they do not
speak the words that God gives them to speak. Many are afraid to speak
the truth because men will reject them.

Many have submitted
themselves to the leadership of the church, to the elders instead of
to Jesus Christ, and therefore they have become useless for the
kingdom of God. Many of those have been cut off because if they did not
bear fruit for the kingdom of God. We will get cut off. The respect
for men is a snare, that has destroyed and eliminated many. I want to
read for you what happened to a young prophet who respected the old
prophet and rather than doing what God told him to do, he listened to
the old prophet and he was cut off; he was killed.

I read from 1Kings 13. God
sent this young prophet to go and speak judgment against an evil king
of Israel, Jeroboam. I read from verse 1: Now behold there came a
man of God from Judah to Bethel by the word of the Lord. While
Jeroboam was standing by the altar to burn incense, he cried against
the altar by the word of the Lord and said: "Oh altar, thus says
the Lord Behold a son shall be born to the house of David, Josiah by
name; and on you he shall sacrifice the priests of the high places
who burn incense on you, and human bones shall be burned on you."
Then he gave a sign the same day saying:" This is the sign
which the Lord has spoken, Behold the altar shall be split apart and
the ashes which are on it shall be poured out. Now when the King
heard the saying of the man of God, which he cried against the altar
in Bethel, Jeroboam stretched out his hand from the altar saying:
"Seize him!" But his hand which he stretched out against
him dried up so that he could not draw it back to himself. The altar
was also split apart and the ashes were poured out from the altar,
according to the sign which the man of God had given by the word of
the Lord. The king said to the man of God:"Please entreat the
Lord your God and pray for me that my hand may be restored to me."
So the man of God entreated the Lord and the Kings hand was restored
to him, and it became as it was before. Then the king said to the man
of God:"Come home with me and refresh yourself and I will give
you a reward." But the man of God said to the king" "If
you were to give me half your house, I would not go with you, nor
will I eat bread or drink water in this place, for so it was
commanded me by the word of the Lord saying:"You shall not eat
bread, nor drink water, nor return by the way which you came. So he
went another way and did not return by the way which he came to
Bethel.

He obeyed the Word of God
against the king, but see what happened then. Another prophet, a man
of God, came to him and seduced him.

I read from verse 11. "Now
an old prophet was living in Bethel and his sons came and told him
all the deeds which the man of God had done that day and of the words
which he had spoken to the king, these also they related to their
father. Their father said to them:"Which way and did he go?"
Now his sons had seen the way in which the man of God who came from
Judah had gone. Then he said to the sons: "Saddle the donkey for
me." So they saddled the donkey for him and he rode away on it.
So he went after the man of God and found him sitting under an oak.
And he said to him:"Are you the man of God that came from
Judah:" and he said:"I am." Then he said to him:"Come
home with me and eat bread." He said:"I cannot to return
with you, nor go with you, nor will I eat bread or drink water with
you in this place, for a command came to me by the word of the
Lord:"You shall eat no bread, nor drink water there. Do not
return by going the way which you came." He said to him:"I'm
also a prophet like you, and an angel spoke to me by the word of the
Lord saying: "Bring him back with you to your house, that he may
eat bread and drink water," but he lied to him.

So he went back with him
and ate bread in his house, and drank water. Now it came about, as
they were sitting down at the table that the word of the Lord came to
the prophet who had brought him back, and he cried to the man of God
who came from Judah saying:"This is the Lord:"Because you
have disobeyed the command of the Lord, and have not observed the
Commandant with the Lord your God commanded you, but have returned
and eaten bread and drunk water in the place of which He said to
you:"Eat no bread, and drink no water, your body shall not come
to the grave of your father's." It came about after he had eaten
bread and after he had drunk and he saddled the donkey for him, for
the prophet whom he had brought back. Now when he had gone a lion met
him on the way and killed him, and his body was thrown on the road,
with the donkey standing beside it. The lion also was standing beside
the body and behold men passed by and saw the body thrown on the road
and the lion standing beside the body. So they came and told it in
the city where the old prophet lived. Now when the prophet who
brought him back from the way heard, he said it is a man of God who
disobeyed the command of the Lord, therefore the Lord has given him
to the lion, which has torn him and killed him, according to the word
of the Lord which he had spoken, which he spoke to him, and he spoke
to his sons saying:"Saddle the donkey for me." And they
saddled it. He went and found his body thrown on the road, with the
donkey and the lion standing beside the body. The lion had not eaten
the body, not torn the donkey. So the prophet took up the body of the
man of God, and laid it on the donkey and brought it back, and he
came to the city of the old prophet to mourn and to bury. He laid his
body in his own grave and they mourned over him saying: "Alas my
brother."

This young prophet
listened to the old prophet instead of listening to God. We have one
Leader, we have one Lord and Master. If we follow Jesus Christ we
must listen to Him and obey Him. We are called to serve Him only, and
not be distracted by people. Many servants of God have been
neutralized, eliminated and killed by God because they submitted
themselves to men, they did not keep on listening to and serving the
Lord. The respect of men is a snare that has, and will destroy many.
Follow Jesus Christ and obey Him, then you will bear fruit; but if
you start respecting men you are not suitable to be a servant of God,
you are not suitable for the kingdom of God. You will get cut off and
burned.

May Jesus bless you.

Pornography and TV will take many to HELL

Most Christian believers watch nudity on the TV and many of them watch pornography.
Pornography will cause you to end up in hell.

Jesus Christ was very clear about desiring a woman. We read in Matthew 5:27 "You have
heard that it was said: You shall not commit adultery, but I say to
you that everyone who looks at a woman with lust for her has already
committed adultery with her in his heart. If your right eye makes you
stumble, tear it out and throw it from you, for it is better for you
to lose one of the parts of your body than for your whole body to be
thrown into hell."

This does not just pertain
to men, it's also to women. That image that you are watching on the
TV, or when you watch pornography, that embodies the sin, your
idolatry, it gives form to the demons that you serve, and that have
taken control of you. Many professing Christians are addicted to
pornography. They are slaves to satan, because they have allowed
those demons that are embodied through pornography, to enter them,
and to take control of them. They are in the clutches of satan, and
they are on their way to hell. If you do not stop watching
pornography, you will certainly end up in hell, because if you only
look at a woman or a man, once, with lust in your heart, then by the
judgment of God you have already committed adultery, or fornication,
immorality, you are guilty and you will end up in hell. That is how
serious Jesus Christ is about holiness.

We are a temple of the
Holy Spirit in which He must dwell, but if we invite satan into our
temple, then we are not fit for the Holy Spirit, and we are not fit
for the kingdom of God. If you do not break with your pornography, if
you do not break with watching the immorality on TV, and having all
those images engraved into your mind and your soul, you will perish,
because you are already a captive of satan. Jesus Christ can set you
free but you have to repent and be serious. If you do not repent, you
will perish. Pornography will take you to hell.

May Jesus bless you.

What it means to give your life to Jesus

Most Christian believers
do not know what it means to give their life to Jesus. To give your
life to Jesus does not mean to say a sinner's prayer and then to join
a church and become religious. To give your life to Jesus means to
commit yourself to Jesus, to live your life in such a way that you
are pleasing to Him. Jesus Christ gave His life so that all who
believe in Him and who obey His words, may have eternal life.

Jesus Christ commanded
that if we believe in Him, that we must follow Him; we must repent
repent of sin and turn away from living our lives to please
ourselves. We must give our lives to Jesus. To give our lives to
Jesus means to obey what He commanded. He commanded that we come
after Him, turn away from sin, turn away from pleasing our own
selves, to die to self, and as a public confession, and in obedience
to Jesus we must be baptized in water, so that the old person that we
were, can be buried in that water and from that water will rise a new
person, who will follow and obey Jesus Christ. Jesus promised His
Holy Spirit to come and dwell in every person who commits to follow
Him, in every person who gives himself to Him and His Holy Spirit,
the Spirit of Christ, Himself, will come and live in us, be with us
to guide us and to teach us. If we give ourselves to Jesus then we
live our lives in obedience to His words.

Firstly, His words as also
recorded in the Gospels Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, and if we obey
Jesus, repent and are baptized in water and He gives His Holy Spirit
in us, then His Holy Spirit will remind us of those words that Jesus
spoke, as also recorded in the Gospels. Further the Holy Spirit the
Spirit of Christ in us, will guide us into living a life that is
fruitful for the kingdom of God; into a life that is pleasing to
Jesus. It does not mean to join a church, and it does not mean to
become homeless, it means to come into a real relationship with
Jesus, because a wonderful thing happens when we believe in Jesus and
we obey his words. If we go on our knees before Him and we pray and
we commit ourselves to Him to live for Him, to give ourselves to Him,
then a wonderful thing happens in us. He makes us new inside, He
makes us children of God, so that we can see the kingdom of God, so
that we can hear His voice.

We can only follow Jesus
and do what is pleasing to Him, if we hear His voice, if we live in
communion with Him, but if we do not even obey the words of Jesus as
they are recorded in the Gospels, if we do not repent and are not
baptized in water, then we are not serious and we will not get to
know Jesus, because Jesus said:"Why do you call me Lord, Lord
and you do not what I say?" Jesus Christ demonstrated His love
for us by suffering and dying on a cross for the sins of the world,
so that whoever believes in Him, and who obeys Him, will have eternal
life. But we have to demonstrate our commitment to Him by obeying His
words, firstly, repenting,turning away from sin, sin no more ,and
seek Jesus with all our heart in prayer. Our communion with Him is in
prayer, and if we seriously seek Him and go after Him, He will give
His Holy Spirit in us, so that we can sense His presence all the
time. If we sin, and if we stray from Him, He will call us back, He
will convict us, He will discipline us, because He cares for us. But
if we keep on straying from Him, if we keep on turning our back on
Him, then eventually we will perish because without Jesus we can do
nothing. If we give our lives to Jesus, we give ourselves to Jesus,
then we must commit to live our life in such a way that we are
pleasing to Him, and then He will reveal Himself to us. He will guide
us, He will speak to us, but if we still love the world and the
things of the world, then we are not committed to Jesus. If we still
want to live our own way, go after the pleasures of sin, be accepted
by the world, then we are not seeking for the approval and acceptance
of Jesus Christ, then we have not given ourselves to Him. He has
given Himself to us in total; He died for us, and therefore He
expects of us to wholeheartedly dedicate ourselves to Him, and then
He will reveal Himself to us, He will be real to us. It is all about
our relationship with Jesus. Most professing Christians do not know
Jesus Christ. He is not real to them, because they were never
serious. If you're serious with Jesus and you show by your deeds, by
your actions, by your obedience to Him, that you truly want to follow
Him, then He will reveal Himself to you, and He will guide you, He
will teach you, and you will be aware of His presence at all times.
He will never leave you, He will never forsake you, but if you turn
your back on Hm and if you allow sin to come into life, that sin will
separate you from Jesus. If you doubt Him, then you will go into
darkness, and you will go into anxiety, because the Holy Spirit will
convict you, let you know that you are in danger of Hell fire.

There's only one safe
place and that is to be with Jesus, to live your life in such a way
that you can always sense His approval and His presence. Have you
given your life to Jesus? Are you walking with Jesus everyday? Do you
sense His presence and do you know that He is pleased with you.

May Jesus bless you.

Fools Gold

All that glitters is not
gold. Good things do not always come in nice packages. Jesus Christ
did not come in a package that was acceptable to this world. The
picture that we have of Jesus, the portraits that people have
painted, the way that Jesus has been portrayed by Hollywood, and by
the churches is notJesus Christ.

The prophet Isaiah
describes Jesus Christ, we read in Isaiah chapter 53 verse 3: "He
has no stately form or Majesty that we should look upon Him, nor
appearance that we should be attracted to Him. He was despised and
forsaken of men, a man of sorrows acquainted with grief, and like one
from whom men hide their face. He was despised and we did not esteem
Him. Surely our griefs He Himself bore, and our sorrows He carried;
yet we ourselves esteemed Him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted
but He was pierced through for our transgressions. He was crushed for
our iniquities, the chastisement for our well-being fell upon Him,
and by His scourging we are healed. All of us like sheep have gone
astray, each of us has turned to his own way but the Lord has caused
the iniquity of us all to fall on Him. He was oppressed and He was
afflicted yet He did not open His mouth Like a lamb that was led to
slaughter, like a sheep that was silent before His shearers, so He
did not open His mouth. By oppression and judgment He was taken away
and as for His generation, who considered that He was cut off out of
the land of the living for the transgression of my people to whom the
stroke was due? His grave was assigned with wicked men yet, He was
with a rich man in his death, because He had done no violence, nor
was there any deceit in His mouth; but the Lord was pleased to crush
Him, putting Him to grief. If He would render Himself as a guilt
offering, He will see His offspring, He will prolong His days and the
good pleasure of the Lord will prosper in His hand, as a result of
the anguish of His soul, He will see it and be satisfied by His
knowledge, the righteous One, My Servant will justify many has He
will bear their iniquities, therefore I will allot Him a portion with
the Great, and He will divide the booty with a strong, because He
poured out Himself to death, and was numbered with the transgressors,
yet He Himself bore the sin of many and interceded for the
transgressors."

He did not have any
appearance that men would like Him, He was rejected, He was scorned,
He was not esteemed. That is not the picture that we have of Jesus
Christ, yet, Jesus is Lord. He humbled Himself. He left His glory and
it came to this earth in the form of a servant, He took on the form
of a man that had no esteem. He had no status. He did not come in a
Cadillac. He had no army, He did not have a 747. He did not have a
palace, He was not clothed in gold. No, He came as a servant and He
walked the dust streets of this world, He humbled Himself to come and
do the will of God, He came to ransom men, He came to present Himself
as an offering. He who knew no sin, who did no injustice, He was
crucified for our transgressions.

Do we esteem Him? Do we
regard Him or are we like those people who crucified Him? Do we thank
Him? Do we praise Him? Do we seek His presence, or do we also reject
Him? Do we also not esteem Him? Many Christians esteem their pastor,
and men, people with money and riches, they love the president, they
love those people with money, they love the thieves,they love those
who are immoral, but they hate Jesus Christ. They associate with the
world, they associate with the celebrities, but they do not esteem
Jesus Christ. They deny Him, they mock Him, because Jesus Christ did
not come in a package that people like. But dear friends Jesus Christ
is Lord. He is God; every knee will bow, and every tongue will
confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, and those who mocked those who
rejected those who disregarded Him will be disappointed, because as
they had no space for Him, no regard for Him, He will have no regard
for them.

Do we esteem Jesus? Do we
regard Him as Lord and Master? Do we give Him the glory and the honor
that is due to Him? Do we show our love and appreciation for Him by
obeying His commands, and by seeking His company? Do we obey Him?
Have we received His Holy Spirit and are we living in Communion, in
fellowship with Jesus Christ? Or do we also disregard Him? If we
disregard Him, He will disregard us, if we deny Him, He will deny
us. He is the King of kings, He is the Lord of lords. Do we esteem
Jesus Christ? May Jesus bless you.
