Jesus and His Precious Blood

We have ministers in modern Christianity who are saying that Jesus is just one way to God the Father. Do not be deceived by these deceivers! Some are more open about their false teaching than others, but if you listen with discerning ears you will recognize their deceptive teaching. In any case do not be deceived by these deceivers.

Jesus is the only way to the Father for any and all people and His precious blood is the only thing that can wash away anyone’s sins. 


John 14: 6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”


1 Peter 1: 18, 19  Knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, like silver or gold, from your aimless conduct received by tradition from your fathers, but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot.”
Only the righteous in Christ will spend eternity with God. The only way to become righteous is to receive Jesus Christ as Savior and to have ones sins washed away by His precious blood. 
Jesus is the only way to the Father and His precious blood is the only thing that can wash away anyone’s sins.

Relationship and Fellowship with God

We all probably know of situations in which blood relatives do not fellowship with each other; in fact they might not even be on speaking terms. They have relationship through birth, but do not have fellowship. This is a sad situation!

There is an even sadder situation between many Christians and God. Many Christians do not enjoy an abiding and ongoing intimate fellowship with God. They have relationship because of being born again, but do not enjoy the fullness of close and intimate communion with God.  They may desire close communion with Him above all else, but have not yet been able to experience it as an ongoing reality.  I have good news! It is possible for all the children of God to know Him in close, intimate fellowship.
The key to this becoming a reality in the lives of every believer is having Jesus Christ formed within (Galatians 4:19). Jesus and the Father are one (John 17:21) and when Jesus is formed in us we come into a place of abiding that the Lord God desires for all His children. 
If this is your desire, then pursue it with all your heart, soul, mind and strength. Yield to the fullness of the Holy Spirit and allow Him to form Jesus Christ within you. Being born again by faith was your beginning point with God; now by faith enter into all that Christ has made available for you. Seek God by faith for Jesus Christ to be formed within you and enter into life more abundantly.

August 2014

As you read what I write would you please understand that I realize that there are faithful ministers and church members in the body of Christ, but I also know that the Church as a whole needs restoration, especially the part that is in the United States.  (Fri. 8/28/15)

When the new nature of a Christian is mixed with the old nature, the result is an immature Christian who is often religious on one hand and lukewarm on the other. They are often very religious about church attendance but lukewarm about personal prayer and Bible study. (Wed. 8/26/15)

If a minister is born again and has also received the baptism in the Spirit, he or she will be actively moving in one or more of the nine gifts of the Spirit listed in 1 Corinthians 12: 8-11. If not, something is not right and needs correcting. One of the main things that need correcting is the false teaching that a person is baptized in the Spirit simultaneously with being born again. (Wed. 8/12/15)
The Lord Jesus is creating circumstances that reveal who and what people are. (Fri. 8/7/15)

If the church in the United States was made up of ministers and members who have been born again, baptized in the Spirit and sanctified by truth, the vote in Washington D. C. yesterday would have had different results.

Our little Sunday and Wednesday meetings are not for the most part producing true and mature disciples of Jesus Christ and we are paying a high price and the worst is yet to come unless real repentance takes place, so enjoy doing your little thing(s) while you can.

If you as a preacher cannot understand and/or rightly divide and teach what the Bible really says about the baptism in the Holy Spirit how do you expect governmental and judicial leaders to understand and rightly divided our Constitution? Wed. 8/5/15)
