Don’t let your mate keep you from God

Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. ( Matthew 24:37) We must love God more than anyone or anything, more than our father, our mother, our children, even our mate.

Luke chapter 12 states: Do you think that I came to provide peace on earth? No, I tell you, but rather division; for from now on five members in one household will be divided, three against two and two against three. They will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.”

The one who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me; and the one who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me. (Matthew 10:37) And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me. He who has found his life will lose it, and he who has lost his life for My sake will find it.

Shocking statements from Jesus giving you a heads up that putting anyone or anything above God first is folly and makes us live a selfish and sinful life. For many loving the world will be their doom. Loving money, your job, sports teams, entertainment, cars, homes, sex, and any worldly pleasure before loving Jesus and the Father is just wrong.

Do you begin your day with prayer and thanksgiving ending your day the same way? Or does the worries of the world choke out the love, joy, peace and faith and willingness to serve God in your life?

Now by all means you should love your mate and children and family with all your heart but not more than your Creator who loves you more than any human could possibly love you. The One who loves you so much that he sent His only begotten Son that whosoever believes in Him will not perish but have everlasting life.

If God knows the number of hairs on your head don’t you think He knows your heart and knows your needs? Don’t you realize He has a plan for your life when He said “ For I know the plans that I have for you,’ declares the LORD, ‘plans for prosperity and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.(Jeremiah 29:11) “

You should know the signs of the times and how close we are to the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. Make an effort to surrender totally to Jesus. Ask Him to help you where you lack faith and confidence and spend everyday living Holy without which we will not see the kingdom of God. It’s not impossible you know. When you blow it just repent from your heart and move forward.

John 10 says the word of faith is in your heart and in your mouth that if you believe that Jesus is Lord and believe God raised Him from the dead and speak it out with your mouth you will be saved for all who call on the name of the Lord He will in no way cast out. All must come to repentance and confess Jesus. He loves you and will be with you forever.

Pray sincerely and ask Jesus to fill you with the Holy Spirit and fire and give you a new heart. He will do it and won’t give you something else. Then you will begin to know Him and what the Holy Spirit is saying to the body of Christ today. Study and read your Bible and don’t be ignorant of the true message of the Gospel. Forget about what’s going on in the world with rumors of war and political upheaval, just believe the word of God when He said “ I will never leave you nor forsake you even to the end of the age….

Receiving Jesus (Blood Security)

Receiving Jesus (Blood Security)

“But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name, who were born , not of the flesh nor of the will of the flesh, nor or the will of man, but of God. (John 1:12)” I would suggest you read that verse over a few times until it really sinks into your spirit what the true meaning of it is. Jesus said you must be born again of the Spirit.

Taken in the context of the entire first chapter of John, it relates that Jesus is the word and became flesh and lived among us for of His fullness we have received grace upon grace. What exactly is His fullness and how do we actually receive Him? Is there some special act or work or thing we must do?

Jesus is everything and Jesus plus something is heresy. Jesus is the exact representation of God the Father and they are one and so is the Holy Spirit. Jesus came in the likeness of sinful flesh but never sinned. He verified His work and who He is by the miracles He performed. No one killed Him. He laid down His life willingly for all mankind that they might be saved. Everyone who has ever lived are sinners and there is no hope except through Jesus. Because of His great love for us He became sin on the cross and all the wrath of God was placed upon Him at that moment in time. The blood He shed became the payment, sprinkled in heaven in the Holy of Holies in a place not made with hands. Without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness, so Jesus bled for us. The bible says He actually became the substitute for mankind. He actually took our place and satisfied the penalty for us that entire sacrifice that God required.

Religious people who love to keep others in bondage to them and their group list several things you must do to be saved, or justified or sanctified or made holy but they are all lies. Because Jesus is the only answer and cried out on the cross it is finished. What is it? It is just what was said above. He came to fulfill the law and now there is grace for those that believe. Can water wash away your sins? No! Only the blood of Jesus can do that and it is done by faith through Gods grace from the heart. Water baptism is commanded and should be done ASAP after your born again to symbolize the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus, and that is what it is, a symbol and agreement of what you already believe in your heart. Jesus plus something is heresy. Jesus alone is the answer. You connect to Jesus blood by your faith not by baptism and it must come from your believing heart. It amazes me that God said without faith it impossible to please Him, so those who have not learned to use their faith and release it to God turn to acts or rules because they just don’t believe it.

Jesus said in Matthew 26:28 “For this is the blood of my covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness (remission) of sins.” Acts 10:43 says “Of Him all the prophets bear witness that through His name everyone who believes in Him RECEIVES forgiveness of sins” Romans 3:24,25 states “being justified as a gift by His grace through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus; whom God displayed publicly as a propitiation (payment, substitute) IN HIS BLOOD THROUGH FAITH…” Much more then, having now been justified by HIS BLOOD, we shall be saved from the wrath of God through Him.” Hebrews 13:20 says “Now the God of peace who brought up from the dead the great Shepherd of the sheep through the blood of the eternal covenant, even Jesus Christ.” 1 Peter 1:18,19 “ knowing that you were not redeemed with perishable things like silver and gold from your futile way of life inherited from your forefathers, but with THE PRECIOUS BLOOD as of a lamb unblemished and spotless, THE BLOOD OF CHRIST. Ephesians 1:7 says “In Him (Jesus) we have redemption through HIS BLOOD, the forgiveness of sins of our trespasses according to the riches of His grace.” Revelation 1:5 “ …and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To Him who loves us and released us from our sins BY HIS BLOOD.” And finally in Revelation 5:9 “Worthy are you to take the book and to break its seals; for You were slain and purchased for God WITH YOUR BLOOD from every tongue and people and nation.

“For it is the Fathers good pleasure for all the fullness to dwell in Him (Jesus) and through Him to reconcile all things to Himself, having made peace through THE BLOOD OF THE CROSS; THROUGH HIM…”Don’t be deceived by religion, Jesus is the way, the truth and the life and no man comes to the Father but by Him and His Blood by Faith through grace. Everyone is given a measure of Faith equally so don’t say you have no faith, you might not know how to release it, but God will help you if you ask. How do you receive Jesus? Simply by calling out to Him, confessing He is the Messiah and the only Son of God and knowing He was raised from the dead and asking Him to come into your heart and make you born again believing His Blood washes away all your sin past present and future.

A final word to those who are cowards: Jesus mentions Cowards as the first named to be cast into the lake that burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death. (Revelation 21:8) Why would the cowards be mentioned first? Because the cowards want to please their families, their friends, their schoolmates and the world. They are afraid to be ridiculed for being a Christian. They are afraid and don’t want any sort of persecution to come their way because they believe in Jesus Christ as Messiah. They are coward’s period. Jesus said whoever loves Father or Mother or sister or brother more than me is not worthy of me. Whoever is not willing to take up you cross daily and follow Jesus is not worthy to enter into the Kingdom of God. Don’t be a coward and be loss, Jesus loves you so much; call out now to Him to save you and fill you with His Holy Spirit while there is still time. Blessed be the Name of The LORD……..

What’s all this personal relationship with Jesus stuff?

What is all this personal relationship business people say you must have with Christ? I remember my good Baptist friends would say that to me and I would answer no, you have to get baptized. Which they would reply; we do after we get saved. Turns out they were right on that point; everyone must have a personal relationship with Jesus.  In the Day of Judgment Jesus said to those on the left “Depart from me, I never knew you, to which many said wait a minute (inferred) didn’t I do many mighty works in your name? Jesus said depart from me I never knew you.

Why did he say that? If you live with a person, you will have a personal relationship with them and so it is, to live with Jesus is to have a personal relationship with Him. Many today profess with their mouth that they are Christians, but in their heart they are far, far away from Him. You may think you’re saved but in truth, you are not saved at all. How is this possible when you went too or still go to church and walked the isle and prayed a prayer to get saved? It happens because there was no real true repentance from the heart; it was just an act of religion. It happens because there was no commitment to Jesus really from the heart. It happens because there was no resolve to take up your cross daily and follow Jesus. It happens because you were not willing to Truly Repent which means to turn around from your pass sins and lifestyle, it means you walked out that church door or meeting wherever it was the same as when you came in and returned to the same ole sins you have been practicing all your life. Nothing really changed.

Jesus said “Count the cost” and you did and decided to try to live with one foot in the world and one foot in Christianity which won’t work. God said if you are neither hot nor cold He will spit you out of His mouth. How many will hear “depart from me, I never knew you?” Mixed in is the belief or should I say Unbelief that you were unsure if Jesus Really is the Son of God or if His shed blood really does cleanse you and covers all your sins. Maybe it was all an act on your part to please someone else or perhaps play the “church” game and show (pretending of course) that you’re all that in the community and known for being a good person, (though you know inside that is far from the truth.)

All this talk of a personal relationship really does mean something, just like any personal relationships you have in life mean something. In this case with Jesus, it means giving up your life, letting go and trusting with your whole heart, placing yourself in the hands of the creator, the lover of your life, the redeemer of your soul, who died for you. His yoke is easy and His burden is light. Jesus says “take my yoke upon you and learn of me and you will find REST for your soul. That means all the stress and worries and heartaches and tension within you will come to a peace deep inside you in your soul and spirit and finally you will be at peace with yourself. Jesus also said you must be Born Again to enter the kingdom of God. Do you think anyone at judgment who are told to depart from Jesus and He never knew them were born again? Absolutely NOT! You know something, you know if you have been born again inside, it’s no game and you will answer in judgments; don’t kid or deceive yourself.

Knowing your spirit is born again is simple to discern. If the eyes of your heart don’t see things differently than before, if there was no real change that took place in your lifestyle, if you are buried in the same sins as before, if you still treat others badly and hate some, if you still carry all kinds of unforgiveness  to those who have offended you and if you spend zero time praying and studying the word and don’t worship God from your heart, there is NO WAY your born again, your just deceiving yourself or the devil is deceiving you. A born again person has the witness in themselves the bible says.

Have you shared Jesus with anyone? How many have you led to repentance? Freely you have been given so freely give to others. Eternal life is a free gift of God. None of us deserve anything as we are all sinners, but if we are saved by Gods grace through faith in Jesus then we ought to act like it. If God did not spare the angels, how much more will those who deny such a great salvation are judged in the end? Salvation is not something to take lightly as you were bought with a heavy price, the blood of the Son of God! A born again person does not practice sin. Hello, John states those who practice sin are of the devil and you know them by their fruits. I am amazed at all the people I know who fit this category that claim to be saved and Christians. Baloney, they have affairs, get drunk or do drugs, are addicted to porn, hate others and love the world and money and practice these things and they say they are saved? Baloney, Jesus doesn’t know them and they are headed to a burning lake of fire unless they repent and trust Jesus from their heart. How do I know this? The bible says so and I was formerly just like them, but by the mercy of God. I came to the end of myself and was born of the Spirit of God, bless Jesus.

Please examine your own life and do right and believe Jesus must Know You or He will say depart from me, I never knew you. Sometimes true born again souls slip up and fall into sin, but come back to God in full repentance. He is faithful and just to forgive our sins if we ask Him. I am afraid for all those who think they are saved but are not even born again. Some play the church game, some are so bound up in religion and works, their souls are parched dry, yet they continue to be bound up in legalism instead of the free gift of grace. Still others who know grace live like the people in the world and practice sin of every kind.

I am scared for all my friends and family members whose only concern is money and the things of the world. God says if you love the world, then the love of the father is not in you. What a statement! How could that be? It’s because God is a jealous God and the love of anything before him is IDOL worship and putting other things before Him. We’re only human you say? No, that is wrong, we are spirit as well and we must worship Him in spirit and in truth. The fight within us is a fight against our own flesh and the devil. We must take control of our own flesh and say no and resist the devil and he will flee from us.

Think you can live a Christian life without praying and renewing your mind by reading and/or hearing the word? You can’t, so don’t even pretend. So what is the answer; to have a personal relationship with God the Father and Jesus the Son. How do we do that? Like any other relationship we have. Spend time with Him! Communicate with Him! Talk to Him 24/7 in your heart, He is right there with you all the time. How is that possible? His Spirit is inside you, the Holy Spirit if you are born again! So when you think or talk Gods Spirit inside you has instant communication with the Father! Greater is He that is in you than he who is in the world! And if the same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead lives inside you, then He who raised Jesus from the dead will give life to your mortal body through the Spirit that dwells in you! That’s why we grieve the Holy Spirit when we sin because we carry God with us at all times and He knows even our innermost thoughts and everything we do!

But God is not waiting for us to mess up and then beat us with a big stick, He loves us so much and wants the best for our lives and gives us a future and a hope! A personal relationship? You bet, and we know His voice so listen for Him in your quiet times. Surrender to Jesus with your whole heart and ask the Holy Spirit in and be born again. Then on judgment day Jesus will say; come you blessed of my Father and enter into the rest that has been prepared for you since the beginning of time…..

Bastard Generation

Bastard Generation

In Deuteronomy 23:2 it states “No one who of illegitimate birth shall enter the assembly of the Lord; none of his descendents, even to the Tenth Generation, shall enter the assembly of the Lord.” And again in Hebrews 12:8, “But if you are without discipline, of which we have all become partakers, then you are illegitimate children and not sons.”

Ten generations is a long, long time. Today, there are so many illegitimate births in the world, its mind boggling. My two youngest kids are from the “Me” generation with ages in the early twenties. I would be hard pressed to find any of their friends who have not had illegitimate children. This is the norm in that generation. Those born in the late 80’s and early 90’s. Not only do they have children without marriage, but as my daughter told me every single one of her close net friends have had an abortion and several more than once and multiple times. This generation does not know God and as Isaiah quotes about Israel back in the day, they are a bastard generation who know not God. Illegitimate children to God and birthing children who are illegitimate, that is; for the lucky ones who are spared the murder of abortion.

The parents of this generation are for the most part Godless as well, who traded in walking with God into walking without God. Parents who grew to love the world and the things of the world and leaving the God of their parent’s generation to serve man and sin and the devil. Parents who not only lost their fear of God and practice sin, but unloving parents of their own children never giving a second thought about their souls and the souls of their kids. Parents who openly do drugs and even drink with their own children and for many families losing their kids to the world of drugs and immorality. Many toss them out on the street because they are so out of control, no wonder with the lifestyle their parents live. Then the cycle gets even worse as the “Me’ generation try to fend for themselves. The majority of them without even a high school education; because they loved drugs and immorality and self abasement more than getting their education. Locked into the welfare system without much hope of ever being able to take care of themselves or their children, unless they get government assistance. Many still living at home into their 30’s with bastard children and grandparents trying to raise their grandchildren because their own kids are inept at being parents. And now the babies of those generations are doomed and without hope without God.

The curse of sins and the sins of our forefathers go down four generations according to the bible, but the curse of illegitimate birth goes down ten generations.  Hidden in the blood lines of unsuspecting people, lies the plan of Satan to corrupt and destroy humans blocking the blessings of the Lord and creating generations without knowing and feeling God’s true love. Symptoms of never belonging, whether it’s a family or church or even at the work place even though some are born again. They bounce around and never settle and are never at peace in their hearts.

We live in the church age and the age of grace or these unruly children would be taken out and stoned like in the Old Testament. But because God loves us so much, He had a plan and that plan was the sacrifice of His sinless Son Jesus Christ. His blood alone cleans all our sin and we are forever His when we repent and confess Jesus as Lord and invite Him to come in and live in our hearts. Some generational curses still must be dealt with and be broken. Because Jesus was cursed because he hung on a tree according to the bible, all curses can be broken in Jesus name even back ten generations.

I implore you to break the bastard curse, the illegitimate curse by speaking it out in Jesus name back to ten generations. Many have the curse in their bloodline and have no idea what happened ten generations ago. Break the curse over yourself and your children and your grandchildren in the name of Jesus and you will actually see a difference in their actions almost immediately. Speak it out in faith laying hands on yourself and others and even anoint your head with oil with a touch. What have you got to lose? But you have lots to gain.

Jesus took our sins and our curses when He died for us on Calvary, now by faith and prayer, speaking it out loud, break the curse of illegitimacy over your bloodline to the tenth generation………
