 Every man is the slave of his own ambitions and  desires. The moment you fall in love with someone or something you become enslaved. The more you love  that object or person, the  more you become obsessed with it, the more it controls you. It takes over your mind and you can become irrational about. In the end it can totally  destroy you. It is for good reason that the commandment says:”Do not covet” The apostle John  wrote in 1 John 2:15 “Do not love the world nor the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the boastful pride of life, is not from the Father, but is from the world. 17The world is passing away, and also its lusts; but the one who does the will of God lives forever.” If we love anything more  than Jesus,  then  we are  not worthy of Him and we will not enter His kingdom.  Jesus said:”He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me; and he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me. 38“And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me. 39“He who has found his life will lose it, and he who has lost his life for My sake will find it.” Matthew 10:37-39. If we love our spouse or  parents or children or friends more than  Jesus then we will rather please them, than  Jesus. Our love for them will cause us to end up in hell. We must love Jesus above all  and obey Him more than anybody else. You often hear men say:”Happy wife, happy life.” Satisfying another person does  not bring lasting happiness. Lust is never satisfied. Running after your own desires money, possessions, men, women, fame, hobbies, entertainment and lusts will just wear you out and in the end it will destroy you. The more possessions you accumulate, the more trouble you cause for yourself. It is all just chasing after wind.   The only way to find true happiness, contentment and eternal life is to follow and obey Jesus. “For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?”  Mark 8:36. Everlasting happiness is only found in Jesus. I look back on my life. For many years I was chasing wind, sowing to the wind and reaping the whirlwind, even after I became a serious believer. It is only when you become a disciple of Jesus, forsake yourself and follow Him, that you experience His peace and joy. “For He has satisfies the thirsty soul, And the hungry soul He  fills with what is good.”Psalm 107:9.    Jesus invites us to follow Him. He gives peace and joy that surpasses all human understanding. “In the  presence of the Lord there is fullness of joy; In His right hand there are pleasures forever.”Psalm 16:11. Jesus said:“If anyone is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink. 38“He who believes in Me, as the Scripture said, ‘From his innermost being will flow rivers of living water.’”John 7:37,38. If you come to Jesus, obey Him, repent of your sin, be baptized in water as He commanded, and you STAY WITH HIM, He promised to give His Holy Spirit in you to be with you forever, to comfort and guide you so that you can follow Him and enjoy His love, joy, peace, life and contentment. “It is vain for you to rise up early, To retire late, To eat the bread of painful labors; For He gives to His beloved even in his sleep.”Psalm 127:2 Have you come to Jesus, repented and been baptized in water? Have you submitted your life to Him? Have you received the Holy Spirit? Are streams of living water flowing from you or are you still thirsty and dry, running after the things of the world and never finding contentment? May Jesus bless you.

 Do not expect to find truth in churches. They proclaim many lies that people like and therefor churches thrive, Salvation is not just a matter of believing in Jesus for salvation as the churches falsely proclaim. It is not a matter of just reciting a special prayer, a “Sinners Prayer” after someone and then confessing that you believe in Jesus. If you have said the “Sinners Prayer” they proclaim you saved and sealed and ready to go to heaven. They proclaim that all your sins have been forgiven, past, present and all the sins that you will commit in future are covered as well.   They preach Once Saved Always Saved, meaning that you can go on sinning and living your life for your own pleasure and still go to heaven when you die.   The Calvinists believe in preselection. They believe all Calvinists were preselected by God to have eternal life and that they will eventually be saved even if they live a sinful immoral life until they are 8o years old. All churches  tell you to join a church and submit yourself to the leadership and teachings of the church, attend church  services and most importantly, pay tithes and offerings. They will also quote you Bible verses that you are cursed by God if you do not  pay tithes, 10% of your income plus additional offerings to the church. They tell you that you have to serve and work for the church to serve God. They are LIARS, DECEIVERS, con artists that use the Bible and twist the truth to make people slaves of the church. They are the blind leaders of the blind and those who follow after them, will go into hell with them.   Jesus is not in churches. Jesus Christ Himself is the way, the life and the truth. You have to follow Jesus to have the truth. Jesus gives His Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Truth in and with every person who seeks and obeys Him. The Holy Spirit will guide you into all truth, if you have received Him and obey Him. Those who do not obey Jesus cannot receive the Holy Spirit. You have to accept Jesus as your Lord and Master and obey His commands and teachings, as recorded in the gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, to have eternal life. Where do you start? If you believe the TRUTH, if you believe in Jesus, that He is God and that He is the only one who can pardon your sins, save you from hell and give you eternal life, then you have to obey Him and do what He commanded:   Go on your knees and pray to Jesus, humble yourself before Him.   Ask Him to accept you and make you a child of God.   Plead Him forgiveness of your past sin and commit to stop sinning.   Commit to turn away from evil and from following after your own desires. Commit to  follow and obey Him for the rest of your life.   Repent, turn from your evil ways. Immediately stop sinning. Clean up your life, get rid of everything that prevents you from living holy and righteously. Be baptized in water for the forgiveness of your sin. Read the commands and teachings of Jesus in the four gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, obey His words. Live according to them.  Jesus promised the Holy Spirit to those who obey Him. Seek Jesus, seek the baptism in the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit will lead you into all truth. You don't need a church. You don't need teachers and leaders. Jesus Himself will lead, guide and teach you, if you seek Him in prayer always. Other people cannot help you to follow Jesus. They can encourage you, share their testimony of Jesus with you, but you have to work out your own salvation. You must have your own relationship with Jesus. Nobody else can do it for you.   Obey the gospel of Jesus Christ. Repent and be baptized. Seek Jesus with all your heart and you will find Him. Work out your own salvation, with Jesus. Don't go to church. Jesus is not there. May Jesus bless you. 

 The world hates truth. Even most professing Christians hate the truth. Paul wrote to the Galatian believers in Galatians 4:16 ”So have I become your enemy by telling you the truth?” People love lies. They just want to hear good things about themselves and their children even if it is all lies. Parents lie to their children, not to hurt their feelings. Preachers lie to their congregation, to make them feel good. They tell them that God loves them endlessly and He will not cast them into hell, even if they keep on sinning. They tell them that they can have salvation and go into heaven by just believing in Jesus, they tell them that they don't need to stop sinning, they must just believe. They tell them that homosexuals and fornicators will go into heaven. People love lies and lying preachers and the lying false media, that is why they perish. That is why most Christians will also end up in hell, because they love lies. In the sight of God there are no white lies. All liars will end up in hell. Liars will not enter the kingdom of heaven. We read in Revelation 22:15 “Outside are the dogs and the sorcerers and the immoral persons and the murderers and the idolaters, AND EVERYONE WHO LOVES AND PRACTICES LYING.” Stop lying. Stop listening to liars. Stop believing lies. Seek and speak truth. Live the truth. Do not pretend that you are what you are not. You are lying to yourself and to others. Do not be an actor. Do not run after actors and celebrities, they are all liars. Repent, stop lying or you will certainly end up in hell. Speak the truth. Live the truth. Obey Jesus. Obey His words, repent and be baptized for the forgiveness of your sin, Lie no more, sin no more. Ask Jesus to give the Holy Spirit in you, the Spirit of Truth. Follow and obey Him He will guide you into all truth. May Jesus bless you. 

 There is only one gospel that saves and that is the gospel of Jesus Christ. It is the same gospel that was preached by all the apostles, including the apostle Paul. Many suggest that Paul preached a different gospel, but that is not true.   Even during his time, there were people who claimed to be followers of Paul which he strongly resisted. He wrote in 1 Corinthians 1:11-17. “For I have been informed concerning you, my brethren, by Chloe’s people, that there are quarrels among you. 12Now I mean this, that each one of you is saying, “I am of Paul,” and “I of Apollos,” and “I of Cephas,” and “I of Christ.”13Has Christ been divided? Paul was not crucified for you, was he? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul?14I thank God that I baptized none of you except Crispus and Gaius, 15so that no one would say you were baptized in my name. 16Now I did baptize also the household of Stephanas; beyond that, I do not know whether I baptized any other. 17For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel, not in cleverness of speech, so that the cross of Christ would not be made void.” Many people refuse to be baptized because Paul said that Christ did not send him to baptize. Paul Himself was baptized immediately after he was called by Jesus as he also testified in Acts 22:16. Paul only baptized some, but all those who believed were baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Paul wrote in 1 Cor.1:18 “For the word of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.” Paul was not talking about believing in the cross of Jesus as so many wrongly preach, he was talking about doing as Jesus commanded, denying yourself, picking up your own cross and following Jesus. He did not repeat the words of Jesus in his letters, as he had already preached the gospel of Jesus Christ to the Corinthians and were reminding them of the power of obeying the gospel of Jesus Christ.  Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians 2:1”And when I came to you, brethren, I did not come with superiority of speech or of wisdom, proclaiming to you the testimony of God. 2For I DETERMINED TO KNOW NOTHING AMONG YOU EXCEPT JESUS CHRIST, AND HIM CRUCIFIED. 3I was with you in weakness and in fear and in much trembling, 4and my message and my preaching were not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, 5so that your faith would not rest on the wisdom of men, but on the power of God.“ Paul did not preach himself, or his own gospel, He preached Jesus Christ and obedience to Him. Paul wrote in Romans 1:16 “For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes.” The gospel of Jesus Christ manifests powerfully through those who believe and obey the words of Jesus, as Jesus said it would be. When people believe, repent and are baptized, they are forgiven of sin, delivered from addictions and demon possession. Jesus said to His disciples:“Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. 16“He who has believed and has been baptized shall be saved; but he who has disbelieved shall be condemned. 17“THESE SIGNS WILL ACCOMPANY THOSE WHO HAVE BELIEVED: in My name they will cast out demons, they will speak with new tongues; 18they will pick up serpents, and if they drink any deadly poison, it will not hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.”Mark 16:15-18. The absence of the manifestation of the POWER OF THE GOSPEL in modern day Christianity indicates that modern day Christians have never believed, because they do not OBEY the gospel of Jesus Christ. They refuse to repent, refuse to stop sinning and be holy. They refuse to be baptized in water and that is why the power of the gospel is not manifested through them. Paul was a Jew, he was a pharisee when Jesus called him, but he did not preach or teach the Torah, the old testament Laws and Prophets. He preached Jesus Christ
