Fruit of the Spirit

Jesus did not ask people for money. Jesus instructed His disciples to leave everything and follow Him. Jesus’ disciples left behind everything “to follow you.” Luke 18 27–29 demonstrates this. It says, Luke 18:27–29 27 Jesus replied, “What is impossible with man is possible with God.” 28 Peter said to him, “We have left all we had to follow you!” 29 “Truly I tell you,” Jesus said to them, “no one who has left home or wife or brothers or sisters or parents or children for the sake of the kingdom of God 30 will fail to receive many times as much in this age, and in the age to come eternal life.” Here, Jesus tells us that leaving everything in the world to follow Him shall be rewarded. The reward is “to receive many times as much in this age, and the age to come eternal life.” Thus, even though Jesus says leave everything, the reward will be a lot more than what they’ve left behind. It does not necessarily mean material benefit. It could be Spiritual and faith growth. The reward Je...

John 8:31 - 44 Spirit v. World Breakdown

Image
John 8 shows the difference between Jesus living in the Spirit and the world living for satan.  The Jewish leaders did not believe that Jesus was the Messiah.  They argued with Jesus about it but they couldn't understand what Jesus was telling them.  Jesus said they didn't understand because their father was "the devil."  They thought Jesus was questioning their paternity. John 8:31-34 says: " To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said,  “If you hold to my teaching,  you are really my disciples.   32  Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”" "33  They answered him, “We are Abraham’s descendants  and have never been slaves of anyone. How can you say that we shall be set free?”" Jesus told them that the truth would set them free from satan.  His non-believers thought Jesus was talking about setting them free from slavery. John 8:34 says: " Jesus replied,  “Very truly I tell you, everyone who sins is a sl...

Crafty Serpent Convinced Eve to Bite the Forbidden Fruit

Image
Creator: andipantz |  Credit: Getty Images/iStockphoto Copyright: andipantz Information extracted from  IPTC  Photo Metadata. From Scripture, the Lord reveals that Eve ate the apple that caused man to die because the serpent was a agent of satan. Genesis 3:1–6 says it. Genesis 3:1 says that “ t he serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the Lord God had made .” So the devil had overtaken the serpent and made it “more crafty” than any of the other wild animals. Making the serpent “more crafty” means giving it satanic power. Since the serpent was more crafty, through the devil, the serpent was able to poison Eve’s mind with  doubt  about what God said and Why. The serpent put doubt in Eve’s mind when he said “Did God really say, You must not eat from any tree in the garden?” (Genesis 3:1) and then when satan said “You will not certainly die,…” Then, to add insult to injury, satan put  greed  in Eve’s mind when he said “…for God knows that ...

Gang Stalkers Harass Jesus

Image
      The book of Luke gives clear instructions on overcoming demons.  It also demonstrates how gang stalkers flock around their targets and Jesus' response instructs us to keep faith in Christ Jesus and not satan .      In Luke 4:40, the Apostle Luke says that Jesus healed a lot of people.  At Luke 4:41, the Bible says "...Moreover, demons came out of many people, shouting, "You are the Son of God!" But he rebuked them and would not allow them to speak, because they knew he was the Messiah." NIV     The first thing that jumps out is the fact that the demons who came out of people didn't deny Jesus' power and His Lordship.  They recognized Jesus. This illustrates how satan knows his targets.       Jesus points out that the way that He controlled demons was by taking dominion over them and rebuking them and not allowing them to speak.  It sounds abstract, but Jesus Christ Himself states in the Bible that His follo...

JESUS CHRIST IS OUR ONLY HOPE

Image
In John 8:44, Jesus reminds us how much influence the devil has in today's society.  Jesus' remark didn't only apply to the Pharisees who were gang stalking Him, but to society in general. In the Book of Matthew 8, the Pharisees somehow managed to to catch a woman during the act of adultery.  First off, the Pharisees are following and gang stalking this lady because somehow they found her "...in the act of adultery."  They didn't say they suspected adultery, but that she "was caught in the act of adultery."  This shows that gang stalkers didn't only stalk Jesus, but anyone else they were against too. I don't know how exactly they knew the marital status of the woman and her lover and how it is that the Pharisees actually caught the lady "in the act of adultery."  The only logical explanation is that it was gang stalkers who were already stalking out the lady and broke into wherever she "was caught in the act of adultery." ...

JESUS is Not a Liar and We Should Trust Him Alone

Image
" From that time on Jesus began to explain to his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things at the hands of the elders, the chief priests and the teachers of the law, and that he must be killed and on the third day be raised to life ." Matthew 16:21 NIV In  Matthew 10:34-35 "Jesus said, "Do not think that I came to bring peace on the earth; I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I came to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law." NIV The sword that Jesus talks about is His Word.  The Bible.  Thus, truth and consistency are two powerful Christ-like traits.  However, for Christ, they come in tandem because Christ is consistently truthful.  Yet, as consistent as Jesus' truth has always been, and shall always be, He is constantly placed under microscopic judgment by the world at the world's own standard.  The above Biblical verses may sound that Jesus came ...

Beat Satan Crouching at Your Feet With Jesus Christ!

Image
In Genesis 4:6 God Himself sets forth a clear principal that I have found time after time to be true.  It states "Then the Lord said to Cain, “Why are you angry? Why is your face downcast? 7 If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you do not do what is right,  sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have you, but you must rule over it .”  NIV It meant I had "ruled over it."  That would also mean that my works somehow equate to Jesus', and it doesn't. Much more recently, our Lord revealed to me through the Scripture that sin is product of the flesh.  The Spirit of Christ does not cause you to sin because Christ lives in the Spirit.  Thus, if I am thinking of sin, I have my flesh on my mind.  Instead, I should have the thought of Christ Jesus  on my mind so that the Spirit of  Christ guides me.   When God said to Cain that "...sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have you, but you must rule over it," God is t...

This World is Demonic but Jesus Shall Triumph

Image
"For you created my inmost bei ng; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well." NIV 139:13-14 Jesus preaches against sin because sin leads to satan and satan leads to eternal death.  I am dumbfounded when I see how satan has managed to contrive himself to be in charge of the world, when the Bible makes clear that Jesus Christ is.   It's the new world order and collection of criminal secret societies who think that instead of burning in hell for the rest of eternity, they think that God is going to reward them with more prestigious and wealthy lives.  That's a straight out of satan's sack of tricks.  In Genesis 1:26-28, our Lord says  "26  Then God said, “Let us  make mankind  in our image,  in our likeness,  so that they may rule  over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky,  over the livestock and all the wild an...
