All Sinners will PERISH in HELL





All sinners will perish,
they will end up in hell, even if they are believers, even if they
call themselves Christians. The wages of sin is death. Without
holiness no man shall see God. The scriptures are very clear that
those who sin have no relationship with Jesus, they have no hope of
eternal life. I read from a 1 John 3:4 "Everyone who practices
sin also practices lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness. You know that
He (Jesus Christ), appeared in order to take away sins and in Him
there is no sin. No one who abides in Him sins, no one who sins has
seen Him or knows Him." So if you keep on sinning you do not
know Jesus Christ. If we follow Jesus Christ and abide in Him, in
obedience to Him in a relationship with Him, we will not sin, we will
do what is pleasing to Him. Verse 7: "Little children, make sure
that no one deceives you. The one who practices righteousness is
righteous just as He is righteous. The one who practices sin is of
the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. The Son of
God appeared for this purpose, to destroy the works of the devil. No
one who is born of God practices sin, because His seed abides in him
and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. By this the children of
God and the children of the devil are obvious, anyone who does not
practice righteousness is not of God, nor the one who does not love
his brother."
If a person sins he does
not know Jesus. If a person keeps on sinning and doing
unrighteousness then he is not born of God, he is a son of the devil,
that is obvious. Many believers say they are sinners. They are sons
of the devil. If we follow Jesus we will obey His words and we will
purify ourselves, we will stay away from sin, we will do what is
pleasing to Him. Many are deceived. They think that God is blind.
They think that by believing in Jesus they are justified and they can
keep on sinning. If you keep on sinning the devil is your father. You
are not doing the will of God, you are doing the will of the devil
and you will perish, because without holiness no man will see God.
Do not let anybody deceive
you, dear friend. If you follow Jesus Christ you will obey Him and
you will sin no more, you will do what is pleasing to Him. All
sinners will perish, they will end up in the lake of fire. Repent of
your sin and be holy or you will perish, you will end up in hell.
May Jesus bless you.

Most Christians are not Christians





Most professing Christians
are not really Christians, because they do not understand what it
means to be a Christian. A Christian is a follower of Jesus Christ,
the Living God, a person who is in relationship with Jesus. Jesus
calls us into a real living relationship with Himself. He does not
call us into relationship and fellowship with other Christians, or
with a church. He does not call us into Bible study and various
religious practices. He calls us to follow Him.
If we obey the gospel of
Jesus Christ, repent and are baptized in water, and we seek Him with
all our heart He reveals Himself to us and He gives His Spirit in us.
Jesus Christ Himself comes and dwells in us and we become aware of
Him. Those who are pure in heart will see God, they will experience
Jesus in everything. If we have submitted ourselves to Jesus, then we
will experience Him in everything that happens to us and with us. We
will see His hand in everything, because we will seek His will. We
will seek His presence, we will seek to experience Him and we will
see Him in our circumstances, in our sickness, in our blessings, in
our pain and the things that are happening in this world. In
everything we will experience Jesus Christ.
The heart and mind that
is set on Christ gains understanding, because he is seeking the will
of God. Jesus gives understanding to those who seek Him. It is not
about various religious practices and teachings theories, it is about
a relationship with the living God, in prayer and in seeking Him with
all our heart. Have you come to know Jesus Christ? Are you in
fellowship with Him? Have you bowed your knees before Him? Have you
obeyed His gospel?
Have you repented of sin
and of going after your own desires and are you seeking Jesus Christ
with all your heart? Have you been baptized in water as He commanded
and has He revealed Himself to you and in you. Do you experience
Jesus Christ every day? His sheep hear His, voice they listen to Him
they follow Him every day. If we do not have the Spirit of Christ in
us and we do not experience Him every day then our relationship with
Him cannot be real, we cannot really be Christians, we are not
followers of Jesus.
Our fellowship and a
relationship with Jesus must be more real than our relationship and
fellowship with other people or else we just do not know Him. Have
you come to know Jesus? Do you follow and obey Him every day? Have
you become part of the kingdom of God?
May Jesus bless you.

The Wrath of God - Hurricane Harvey - A WARNING



I am here to deliver a stern warning and a message from God.  Hurricane Harvey was a display of the wrath of God and a warning of worse things to come, if the people do not repent.
I want to read for us from Romans 1:18 "For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, 19because that which is known about God is evident within them; for God made it evident to them. 20For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse. 21For 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, that their bodies might 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."
God has been calling the nation to repentance for a very long time but people defy God, they mock God. Even Christians are living in sin.
Jesus sent me to preach repentance.
The churches are not preaching repentance. The churches are preaching money, prosperity, tolerance, grace, love, but they are not preaching the message of Jesus Christ.
Jesus requires repentance and holiness. It is because of sin that the wrath of God comes on mankind. God is warning. He speaks.
I am not judging. I know God and I fear God and I know the judgment of God and therefor I warn, because I know that God will certainly judge, and He will judge His people first. He will judge the churches first because they are not warning the people. They are called to be watchmen, but they are not warning them to repent. Judgment will start in the house of God. Many churches will be closed and they will cease to exist. God is going to take away many preachers, who are liars and deceivers, they are not doing the work that He has called them for. God is warning. He is warning the nation. God is warning through hurricane Harvey. The loss of lives could have been much more severe. There is a severe loss of property and equipment, and earthly goods, but if the people do not repent they will perish.
I remind us of the words of Jesus as they are recorded in Luke 13:1 "Now on the same occasion there were some present who reported to Him about the Galileans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. 2And He answered and said to them, “Do you suppose that these Galileans were greater sinners than all other Galileans, because they suffered this fate? 3“I tell you, no, but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish. 4“Or do you suppose that those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them, were worse culprits than all the men who live in Jerusalem? 5“I tell you, no, but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish.”
God is looking for FRUIT, the fruit of repentance, the fruit of holiness, the fruit of obedience to Jesus Christ.
I read further in Luke 13:6 "And He began telling this parable: “A certain man had a fig tree which had been planted in his vineyard; and he came looking for fruit on it, and did not find any. 7“And he said to the vineyard-keeper, ‘Behold, for three years I have come looking for fruit on this fig tree without finding any. Cut it down! Why does it even use up the ground?’ 8“And he answered and said to him, ‘Let it alone, sir, for this year too, until I dig around it and put in fertilizer; 9and if it bears fruit next year, fine; but if not, cut it down.’”
Jesus Christ wants fruit. Many profess to be Christians but their fruit is absent. They have no fruit of righteousness or of holiness, no likeness of Jesus Christ, they are conformed to the world. They love the world. They are sinful, they are living in sin. They are homosexuals, they abort their babies, they've got no fear of God. Not only do they approve of these things but they do them themselves, even though they know that God hates it. If they do not repent, they will perish, God will cut them down.
God is warning. He is warning the nation, He is warning the world, that if they do not repent, they will perish. There is only one way to have salvation, and that is to obey the gospel of Jesus Christ, not the gospel that is preached in churches.
You cannot just believe in Jesus for salvation. You have to repent and be baptized, you must bear fruit of repentance, holiness and righteousness. You must obey the words of Jesus Christ or else your confession of Jesus Christ is empty and void, it is an abomination. Every branch in Him that does not bear fruit will get cut down and burned. That is the warning to all of us, to me as well. I know the fear of God and therefor I warn you.
God loves us, He cares for us , but God has one standard of holiness and righteousness. God does not tolerate sin or disobedience. The soul that sins will die, he will perish. If you do not repent, you will perish. God will cut you down.
Be wise. Seek Jesus  while you can, dear friend. Repent, be baptized in water, obey the gospel of Jesus Christ. Seek Him with all your heart and He will reveal Himself to you, He will be a father for you, he will take care of you. Without Jesus we can do nothing.
May Jesus bless you.

Do Not Worry





Jesus Christ commands us
not to worry, not to be concerned about tomorrow because we cannot
change anything by worrying. He says that our Heavenly Father knows
what we need and He will freely give it to us, He will supply in all
our needs because He takes care of the birds of the heavens, He will
also take care of His children. Jesus gives peace beyond all
understanding to those who obey Him, but as it is written: There is
no peace for the sinner.
The sinner has a reason to
worry even though he is a believer. Jesus said He will never leave
us, He will never forsake us, but He also said that if we deny Him,
He will certainly also deny us. If we make God our refuge, if we
live for the kingdom of God and we obey the commands of Jesus then we
can pray with confidence and we can trust the Lord and know that He
will answer our prayer, that He will take care of us. But if we
disobey Him and we live selfishly for ourselves, if we have no
business with God, if we don't care for Jesus Christ and for His
kingdom then we have reason to be worried. It is only when we are in
obedience to Jesus, in Christ, that He gives us peace beyond all
understanding, no matter what our circumstances are, because He is in
control.
They once came to Jesus
and told Him about a tower that fell on people, the Tower of Shiloam,
and they were killed, and Jesus said to them:"If you do not
repent you will perish likewise." There is no peace for the
sinner, no peace for the person who disobeys Jesus Christ, he has
reason to worry not only about his current situation and what is
happening in the world, the uncertainties, the anxiety that is
destroying so many people. It is because of sin, it is because of not
obeying Jesus. They do not have Jesus and therefor they do not have
peace. If we obey Jesus then we have no reason to worry, then we can
have confidence, and His peace will be in us and with us. If we sin
and disobey Him that peace will leave us.
Do you want that peace
that Jesus gives, that peace beyond all understanding? Then obey Him
obey the gospel of Jesus Christ, live in obedience to Him. Repent and
be baptized in water, obey His commands, live holy and righteous and
Jesus Christ will give His peace in you. He will give his Holy Spirit
in you, He will reveal Himself to you and you will be in peace even
though this whole world is falling to pieces, because God is in
control. But He looks after those who take Him seriously, those who
are for Him. If God is for us, who can be against us, but if we are
against God then we are without the protection of God. Jesus said
that He will never leave us He will never forsake us, but if we deny
Him, He will certainly also deny us. If we do not take Him seriously
and we do not obey Him, in our day of trouble, we will call on Him
and He will not answer, because when He called we did not answer, we
were not interested in Him. If we deny Jesus, He will certainly also
deny us but if we seek to please Him, if we live for Him and for His
kingdom, then we can rest at ease, we can be at peace, because He
fills us with His peace that passes all understanding, then we need
not worry.
Are you worried? Are you
concerned about tomorrow, about the future, about what is happening
in the world, about what could happen? Obey the gospel of Jesus
Christ and He will give you peace beyond all understanding. He will
give you peace that you cannot find anywhere else because He takes
care of those who trust Him and who obey Him.
May Jesus bless you.

Walking in the Light





Jesus Christ is the Light
of the world and those who follow Him will not be in darkness. Sadly
most Christians are not following Jesus Christ. They are following
their own mind, their own interpretation of the Bible, the
scriptures, and therefore they stumble. They are confused and they
confuse other people. They lead them astray because they make
predictions based on their own understanding. They are not following
Jesus Christ.
Jesus said we must follow
Him. We cannot run ahead of Him even if He tells us what will happen
in the future. We cannot go ahead of him we must follow Him or else
we will go into darkness. Many people make predictions based on what
Jesus told them, revelation that He gave them and when things do not
work out the way that they expected and they lose faith, they are
disillusioned. They deceive other people. They make predictions of
the rapture and things that will happen in the future, and then those
things never happen and those people that believed those predictions
lose faith in Jesus, but their faith was never in Jesus. Their faith
was in the prediction or in that person who is in darkness, who is
not following Jesus.
We must follow Jesus every
day. He is the future. He is the way, He is the truth, He is the
life. We must follow Him not run ahead of Him. If we follow Jesus we
will never be in darkness. Are we following Jesus every day, one day
at a time? Are we walking in the Light?
May Jesus bless you.

The MISTAKE that Most Christian Believers Make



There is one a big mistake
that most Christian believers make and that is, they never become
disciples, never become followers of Jesus Christ. Most believers,
after they have heard the gospel of Jesus Christ, they become
religious. They join a church and they start working for the church,
but they do not work their relationship with Jesus. Others believe
that they have to abandon everything, quit their job, and go after
Jesus, but they do not know Jesus yet. They do not know His ways.
They do not know His voice, they have not been taught how to follow
him.
The disciples that Jesus
first called went after Him. They did not go out preaching and trying
to win the world. They followed Jesus and He taught them His ways and
it was only after He had qualified them and that He sent them out. We
are called to follow Jesus. Jesus said:"Follow me." We have
to work our relationship with Jesus. Firstly we have to obey His
commands, repent and be baptized in water, live our lives the way
that Jesus commanded. Live according to His words. Live holy and
righteous, seek Him with all our heart and He will reveal Himself to
us. He will teach us and He will guide us. He promised to give the
Holy Spirit in those who seek Him, those who truly love Him, and the
Holy Spirit will teach and guide them in all things.
Most believers never
follow Jesus. Very few believers obey Jesus. Very few repent of their
sin, repent of their own futile ways, repent of a thinking the
worldly way, and living according to the words of Jesus. Very few get
baptized in water, as He commanded and even fewer receive the baptism
of the Holy Spirit. Of those who receive the baptism in the Holy
Spirit, very few follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit. They start
running after people. They become part of a group, a church, an
organization or they follow after some person that they regard as
spiritual, but they are not following Jesus Christ. They all make the
same mistake. They do not go after Jesus. They do not work their
relationship with Jesus, they do not get to know His voice and they
do not follow Him.
Others are serious, they
start seeking Jesus in prayer and in fasting, they receive dreams and
revelations and then they jump to conclusions. Often they run after
their revelations or revelations that they have heard from others and
they are disillusioned. Their life falls to pieces and they blame
God, but they did not stay with Jesus. We have to go after Jesus.
Seek Him with all our heart, clean up our life, live according to His
words; live holy, righteous, seek His approval, seek to hear His
voice. We are not called to change the world and convert the world,
we are called to be witnesses of Jesus. We can only be a witness of
Jesus if we know Him, if our life testifies of Jesus, that the world
can see that we are changed, we have not just taken on religion but
we have become like Jesus.
We can only testify for
Jesus if we have a real relationship with Him. Anybody can go to a
Bible School, become indoctrinated, and then start preaching, start
his own church, start his own organization. That is the way of the
world, the way of the worldly Church; that is not the way of Jesus
Christ. It is not about proselyting and building churches. The gospel
of Jesus Christ is about being disciples and making disciples of
Jesus Christ, walking with Jesus every day in your situation, where
He has called you, getting to know His voice and then, if we cleanse
ourselves of unrighteousness and we make ourselves available for
Jesus, in His time He will use us. He might send us, He might tell us
to go somewhere. He might tell us to go to a different country, or to
a different city, but we have to follow Him. We have to be sure that
we heard from Jesus. We must not look for human sponsors or an
organization or an infrastructure. Our walk must be with Jesus
Christ. If that walk with Jesus is not real, then we are only
fooling ourselves.
Some people abandon
everything; they abandon their responsibilities their wife their
children, their debts, that is not what Jesus called us for. We have
to take care of our responsibilities. We cannot just irresponsibly
leave everything. That is not of the Lord. He calls us to live
righteously in this world, to live according to His words, to be led
by His Spirit. Always go back to Jesus, always ask Jesus. Keep on
praying, keep on seeking Him. Keep on trusting Him, keep on expecting
Him. If you're not sure, go back to Jesus. Our duty is to bring glory
to Jesus, and to be pleasing to Him. We can only be pleasing to
Jesus, if we receive feedback, confirmation from Him, we hear His
voice.
His sheep listen to His
voice and they follow Him. They are not trying to win the world. They
are not trying to preach to everybody. They just want to be pleasing
to the Master and the only way to do that is to be led by the Holy
Spirit, to walk with Jesus day by day. Most believers never come into
that close relationship with Jesus. They get drawn away by other
things and in the end they will stand before Jesus and He will say to
them:"Go way I never knew you." Many will say: "But
Lord but I built churches for you and I preached the gospel and I did
so many things," and He will say:"But you were never with
Me. You maybe did things that you thought were for Me but you did not
follow Me."
Do we know Jesus?
How is our relationship with Him or are we just being religious? Or
are we following after other people, following after our mind? We can
only please Jesus if we are led by the Holy Spirit day by day, moment
by moment. It is all about following Jesus Christ. Are we following
Jesus Christ? Do we know His voice? Do we listen to Him? Are we doing
and what is pleasing to Him and are we receiving confirmation from
Him that we are in His will? Do we have a real relationship with the
Living God, Jesus Christ?
May Jesus bless you.

The FALSE SALVATION Preached in MOST Churches



The gospel of Jesus
Christ, as preached in churches is false, and it will take many
people to hell, because the gospel as they preach it in churches does
not make people disciples of Jesus Christ. To believe in Jesus is not
sufficient. We have to become His disciples, follow and obey Him.
Jesus never commanded us
to go to church, to become church members. He commanded His disciples
to go into all the world and make disciples of all nations, baptizing
them in the Name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit,
teaching them to obey all that He commanded, that which He taught
them; His words as I also recorded in the Gospels Matthew, Mark, Luke
and John. There is only one way to salvation and that is the gospel
of Jesus Christ, the way that He preached it. He said:"Follow
Me." If we do not follow and obey Jesus Christ we will not enter
His kingdom.
Church membership does not
lead to salvation. To believe in Jesus cannot save you if you do not
obey Him, if you do not repent, turn away from sin, turn away from
your own ways, turn away from the world, turn to Jesus and follow and
obey Him. Live holy and righteous, be baptized in water, as He
commanded and then be baptized with the Holy Spirit that he promised
to those who obey Him. If we do not have the Holy Spirit we cannot
follow Jesus Christ. If we do not follow and obey by the guidance of
the Holy Spirit we have no relationship with Jesus Christ.
Religious practices,
reading your Bible, cannot save you. It is your relationship with
Jesus Christ. If you do not have a real relationship with Jesus and
if you do not walk with Him daily, then you do not know Him. If you
do not follow and obey Him, you cannot be part of His kingdom. Those
who are being led by the Spirit of God they are the children of God,
not the churchgoers and the Bible readers, and the believers. It is
those who follow Jesus and who worship Him in spirit and in truth,
those who are led by His Spirit and who do His will.
The gospel that is
preached in churches is deception. It tells you to believe in Jesus
and then to serve the church, become a church member, but neither the
leadership nor any of the members have any relationship with Jesus
Christ. They do not get their guidance or direction from Jesus. They
are not serving Jesus, they are serving themselves, their own
desires, and the church. The church is about money about, its own
little kingdom. It is the kingdom of satan in this world.The
organized church is not part of the kingdom of God.
Jesus calls us to
discipleship, individual discipleship just like the first believers,
who obeyed the gospel, who repented were baptized in water and filled
with the Holy Spirit. They were taught to obey Jesus' teachings and
to follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit, but some became religious.
They started churches and they deviated from the gospel of Jesus
Christ. They deviated from Jesus and they led many to hell. We are
called to be disciples, men and women of God who walk with God and
who follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit. If we are not led by the
Holy Spirit then we are not part of the kingdom of God, then we are
not serving Jesus Christ. Have you become a disciple of Jesus Christ?
Do you know His voice? Do you listen to do Him? Do you follow Him and
do you serve Him. Have you become part of His kingdom? Do you truly
know and serve Jesus Christ, the King? Are you part of His kingdom?
The gospel of Jesus Christ
is about the kingdom of God, bringing people into the kingdom of God,
to serve Him, even now here on earth. Are you part of that kingdom of
God under the lordship of Jesus Christ, King of kings and Lord of
lords. There is only one way: Serve the King, Jesus Christ.
May Jesus bless you.

Learning Obedience



Every born-again child of
God must learn obedience because, those who disobey Jesus Christ have
no place in the kingdom of heaven. They are the children of
disobedience and will end up in hell. Jesus Christ also learned
obedience through that which He suffered.
We read in Hebrews 5: 8
that “Jesus Christ, even though He was a Son, He learned obedience
through that which He suffered, and being made perfect, He became to
those who obey Him, the source of eternal salvation." It is not
sufficient just to believe in Jesus. It is not sufficient just to
read the words of Jesus, His commands, to read the Bible, study the
Bible. We have to obey Jesus Christ. We have to obey His commands. We
have to obey the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Those who disobey Jesus
will not enter His kingdom.
Jesus Christ, our Master,
learned obedience through what He suffered and we will also learn
through what we suffer. He will put us through suffering so that we
can learn to endure, that we can learn to obey. Jesus Christ will
teach us obedience through suffering because we learn through
suffering. Nobody learns through just reading or listening. We learn
through suffering. We learn through pain and practical experience.
Those who are wise submit
themselves to the discipline of Jesus, and they recognize His hand in
their lives when they go through suffering. They do not run away from
Him, but they draw closer to Him and they learn from Him so that they
can be perfected. Jesus said:"Be perfect like your Father in
heaven is perfect," and He is working perfection in us through
suffering. If we disobey Him we will suffer. He will teach us
understanding through suffering but we will learn to absolutely obey
Him, to obey His words, to obey and follow the guidance of His Holy
Spirit because the disobedient has no place in the kingdom of God.
Are we learning from the
suffering that God is putting in our lives? Are we being drawn closer
to Jesus or do we run from Him? Do we hide from Him? Do we continue
in our wrongful ways and our selfish ways or do we come to Him and
submit and say:"Lord, Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done. Thou
art the Potter, I am the clay. For me and make me according to Thy
will." If we are not willing to be changed into His likeness, if
we are not willing to be made useful for His kingdom, then we are not
suitable for His kingdom. We all have to learn obedience through
suffering. Are we learning obedience through our suffering?
May Jesus bless you.

A New Way of Thinking and Living



The born-again child of
God that follows Jesus Christ has a different way of thinking, from
the carnal Christian and the unbeliever. Not all born again people do
follow Jesus Christ. Not all born again a children of God are being
saved. Many of them have the mindset of the world. Their mind is not
set on Jesus or on the kingdom of God, they still want to fit into
this world, be accepted by the world, and do good, excel, in this
world.
The carnal Christian and
the unbeliever think along the ways of the world. They are
brainwashed by the world and they follow the systems of this world.
They follow the methodology of this world. That is why the church
organizations are Antichrist, they are of the world, they work
according to worldly principles, they are not set on the kingdom of
God. Their mind is set on themselves, on their own survival, on their
own growth and their own welfare, not on the kingdom of God.
If we follow Jesus Christ
and we are part of His kingdom we have a new way of thinking. We do
not think like the world, we set our mind on Christ. We set our mind
on obeying Jesus Christ, on being pleasing to Him, and on His
kingdom, on doing that which the Holy Spirit guides us to, because
those who are being led by the Spirit of God they are the children of
God. The born-again child of God who is actively following Jesus,
puts his mind on Jesus. He puts his mind on being pleasing to Jesus,
on obeying the commands of Jesus, His words. He puts his mind on the
Holy Spirit because he seeks and follows the guidance of the Holy
Spirit and he does not trust his own mind or the propaganda and
brainwashing that is going on in this world. His mind is set on
Christ.
We cannot be part of the
kingdom of God and be pleasing to Jesus if our mind is set on the
things of the world. Our mind must be set on Him. The Apostle Paul
wrote:"Be transformed by the renewal of your mind." If our
mind is set on doing well in this world, being accepted by this
world, being influential and successful in this world, then we have
the mindset of the world that is at enmity with Jesus Christ, that
cannot please Jesus. That is a situation with most Christians. They
do not have the mind of Christ. They have the mindset of the world.
We must have a new way of thinking. Our thinking must be to do
everything that we possibly can to be pleasing to Jesus. Firstly by
obeying Him, obeying His words as they were delivered and recorded
also in the Gospels; Matthew, Mark. Luke and John. Repent be
baptized. Be filled with the Holy Spirit and follow the guidance of
the Holy Spirit.
Jesus said that unless a
person is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God, he cannot
envision, he cannot imagine it, it doesn't make no sense to him. He
needs to be born again and then he can see the kingdom of God, but
many of those who are born again do not trust Jesus, they do not
really believe. Even though they have a vision of the kingdom of God,
many of those are not following Jesus. They have their mind set on
the world and that is why they perish.
We need a new way of
thinking, the kingdom way, the Jesus way, to please Him, and not to
trust in our own understanding, and in our senses, the things that we
see in hear, but on the guidance of the Holy Spirit. That is why, if
we do not have the Spirit of Christ then we do not belong to Him. If
we do not follow and obey the Spirit of Christ we cannot be pleasing
to Him. We cannot please God by living according to the thinking, the
mindset, of this world. Our mind must be set on Jesus and we must be
led by the Holy Spirit. We need to seek and follow the guidance of
the Holy Spirit every day until the very end, in order to enter the
kingdom of God.
Have we put our minds on
Christ? Do we have a new way of thinking? Do we trust more in Jesus
than in the things that we see, the things that we've been taught,
since childhood, the media, the influences of the world, our own
interpretation of the Bible? Do we trust that more than Jesus Christ
or is our mind set on Jesus? Do we trust Him more than anything? Do
we trust His Spirit to guide us in everything? Do we have that new
way of thinking?
May Jesus bless you.

When Did God Stop Speaking?



Many professing
Christians, and among them even preachers, will tell you that God
does not speak, that whatever God wanted to say was recorded in the
Bible, and the Bible is the Word of God. There is nothing further
from the truth. God has always spoken and God has never stopped
speaking. God never changes. God speaks and those with ears listen,
they hear Him. Jesus said:"My sheep hear My voice, and they
follow Me." It is written in the Bible that if any man needs
wisdom let him ask of God who gives to all men freely, and it will be
given to him.
If we draw closer to
Jesus, He draws closer to us and Jesus reveals Himself to those who
seek Him. Those who say that God does not speak just do not know Him.
Those who know Jesus, know His voice, they listen to Him and they
follow Him. If we obey the gospel of Jesus Christ, His words that He
spoke, as they were also recorded in Matthew Mark Luke and John, if
we repent and turn to Jesus, be baptized in water, stop sinning, and
we live according to His words then Jesus reveals Himself to us. He
gives the Holy Spirit in us, Who will speak to us, who will teach us
and guide us, will tell us things to come.
Jesus is alive and He
speaks and those who know Him hear his voice. Many just deny Christ,
among them professing Christians. They prefer not to listen, they are
not interested in hearing what God says, but if we seek Jesus, if we
ask Him He will reveal Himself to us and we will know Him for real.
Jesus Christ is the Living God and He speaks. His sheep hear His
voice they follow Him. Are you one of His sheep? Do you know His
voice and do you follow Him.
May Jesus bless you.
