My End Goal


My End Goal
The end goal is not to write a book, not to become popular, not to become well liked, but the end goal is LOVE, the same as the beginning.  The beginning is beginning and the end.  God is the start and the finish, and because we serve a God of love, He calls us to love the Lord our God with all our heart, soul, mind and strength, and to love our neighbor as ourselves.  When Jesus called me to preach the gospel free of charge, at the very beginning I remember some guy in church telling me, “You should get all your ideas out on paper, you should write a book, people would want to hear what you say…”  BUT, the end goal is not just to get our thoughts on paper, it’s not just to write a book that will sit on someone’s shelf, it’s to put people in the hands of their Creator, that they can walk in LOVE, that they can walk in righteousness, that people can be reconciled with their Creator.  That’s why it’s written somewhere in the scriptures that our ministry is the ministry of reconciliation. (2 Corinth. 5:18) Then end goal is not to impress people, not to be just an articulate speaker, but our goal is LOVE, to love the Lord our GOD with all our heart, and to love our neighbor as ourselves.  If we are not loving God first, then we are failing.  A lot of people can love your flesh.  A lot of people helped me when I was in church, they helped me buy my house, they helped me buy my vehicle.  People can help navigate your life, the government does that, they provide food or people, all kinds of social programs, but they DON’T help people’s soul.  The way to help someone’s soul is to point them to Jesus.  And if we point someone to Jesus and put their hand in their Creator’s hand, then out job is done.  Our only job is to continue to love others, to love the Lord our God with all our heart.  But we can’t lead other people.  Our job is not to bring people back to ourselves.  You know, a lot of pastors want to be people’s Holy Spirit, they want to be people’s shepherd, so they continue to ask people for money, for tithe, for offerings, for donations, to help their building projects, and they want people to continually come back to them, that they can be the teacher.  But we should NOT be many teachers, as it says in James. (James 3:1 KJV) We Are not called to be many teachers.  We are called to point people to Jesus Christ, that Jesus Christ is the One and only Teacher and our job is finished if we put people, if we reconcile people with their Creator.  Obviously, we have to continue to love others and love the Lord our God ourselves, but we don’t call people to continually come back to us.  Because no one is the source of truth.  We can encourage others in love and righteousness and in good deeds, but we ourselves are not the truth.  Jesus Christ is the Way the Truth and the Life and we need to point others to Him that they can be led by their Creator.  The end goal is love.  Are we really loving the Lord our God and are we teaching others to go to Jesus, to be led by Him, to be led by the Good Shepherd, to hear from Him, to have fresh food from Him every day?  Or do we have other motives that motivate us, money, fame, you know popularity, things of this earth, the things of this kingdom.  Or is our kingdom truly of the Kingdom of God and are we winning souls to the Kingdom of God out of LOVE because we love people, we love their souls, we want to save people.  Remember Jesus called us to be fishers of men, to call people to repent and come into the newness of life.  Do we really love God with all our heart and our neighbor as ourselves?  Or are we just fooling others and fooling our self? We need to self-evaluate, do we really have the love of Jesus in us, or do we have the love of the world?  May the grace of Jesus be with you.

The foolish forget God requires holiness

The Foolish Forget GOD Requires HOLINESS
What people have forgotten is that God requires absolute holiness, He requires that we are righteous and HOLY.  What does that actually mean, what does it mean to be righteous and holy?  Do you think that someone is righteous and holy that is just preaching righteousness and holiness?  Does that make them holy?  Does it make you holy to do bible studies 3 times a week?  Does it make you holy to go on mission trips or to live as a homeless man on the street, does that make you holy?  Does it make you holy to sell all your possessions and give your things to the poor, does that make you holy?  What do you think makes you holy?  What makes you a good tree and what makes you bear good fruit?  Don’t be fooled by the FALSE gospel and the FALSE church.  Can you see the difference between being holy and righteous and a false, fabricated gospel, the gospel that is by dead works?  A lot pf people are trying to enter the Kingdom of God by another way, other than Jesus Christ.  There is only one way to enter into the Kingdom of God.  There is only one way into heaven.  Jesus is the door.  Don’t forget that Jesus Himself is the door, He is the gate, HE IS YOUR ONLY HOPE.  Unless you confess every last one of your sins to Jesus Christ, unless you apologize for your sins, to the people that you need to apologize to, confess and repent, you are not going to enter into His Kingdom.  No one is going to enter into heaven with bitterness, with hatred in their heart, with lust, with selfishness, with unfair balances, with looking down upon others.  No one is going to enter into the Kingdom of God with secret sins, secretly they are into pornography, secretly they are steeling, secretly they have homosexual thoughts, secretly the are into child pornography or extremely wicked things.  What do you think makes you holy and righteous?  Is it purifying yourself on the outside or on the inside?  If you said on the inside you would be right, but here’s the thing; YOU WILL NEVER FOOL GOD.  You may fool every single person that you are around, every single person will think that you are a good person, but you will never fool Jesus Christ, you will never fool the Spirit of God, He will know that you are a hypocrite, and what do you think is going to happen when you, playing the hypocrite stand before God almighty?  Do you think He’s going to say; “Good and well done my faithful servant, I’m so glad that you preached holiness, I’m so glad that you preached righteousness, come into My Kingdom…”  Do you think He’s going to say that to you?  DON’T BE A FOOL!  The unrighteous and the unholy WILL NOT inherit the Kingdom of God.  WAKE UP TO THE TRUTH!  Jesus is coming for a holy and a pure bride.  Remember the one guy (in Jesus’ parable) that tried to get into the wedding feast without pure clothes, with old garments, symbolizing he was still in sin?  What happened to that guy?  Go and research what happen to that guy if you forgot.  (Matthew 22:1-14)  He was cast out into OUTER DARKNESS.  You are not going to make it into heaven, you are going to be thrown into outer darkness if you have secret little sins, or big sins in the bottom of your heart, in your soul.  Are you dirty on the inside and fooling everyone on the outside?  Because you will never fool God.  MAKE SURE THAT YOU TRULY REPENT, because tomorrow you just may be dead and in hell.

You must hear Jesus Christ for yourself

You Must Hear Jesus Christ For Yourself 
Jesus Christ said that He would manifest to those that love Him.  That means He will make Himself KNOWN to you in YOUR spirit, in a way that you KNOW that HE is the Living Word of God.  You know in your spirit that you are hearing from the Holy Spirit, it’s a word of GOD directly TO YOU, no middle man, not a pastor in between, not a prophet in between, NOTHING.  He will speak directly to you.  Jesus promises the gift of the Holy Spirit TO YOU.  Christians today are VERY extremely deceived.  They think the bible is the Holy Spirit, they think that reading the bible is hearing from God.  They think that listening to preachers and to prophets that they’re hearing the Word of God by listening to men.  People today undoubtably see that we are in very serious times.  They see Coronavirus, they see these plagues upon the earth.  Some people are seeing demons, they see these things.  But then what do they do?  They run to every prophet, they want to just read the bible and gather all the prophecies… “How do we put together all of these little puzzle pieces so that then we can navigate into eternal life…?”  They are deceived, they are BLIND.  If the blind lead the blind they will both fall into a pit, that’s what Jesus said.  Don’t trust ANYONE.  Hear from Jesus for YOURSELF because THAT is what is promised TO YOU.  It is not promised that a pastor would hear Jesus and then he would speak to you and you would hear Jesus through the pastor or through a prophet.  There is no guarantee that the pastor or the prophet is really hearing from God.  And there is no guarantee that if the pastor or if the prophet IS REALLY a man of God that you, just by hearing those words will be saved.  Salvation is in KNOWING JESUS and then you obeying whatever He tells you to do and enduring with Him to the very end of your life.  Don’t play the fool!  This word is very foolish and the Christians are following the world.  Everyone can tell that bad things are happening, everyone can see we are living in apocalyptic times, the times that the scriptures spoke of.  All kinds of prophets are in the world right now.  Anyone can get on the internet and listen to them.  
But here is the message from the HOLY SPIRIT, and if you hear anything that I am saying right now, LISTEN TO THIS:  
YOU NEED TO HEAR FROM JESUS CHRIST FOR YOURSELF.   Forget any words that anyone else has ever said.  YOU NEED TO BE HEARING JESUS.  How do you do that?  How do you hear directly from Jesus Christ?  
YOU GO ON YOUR KNEES AND YOU PRAY AND YOU SAY; “JESUS, IF YOU ARE REAL AND I KNOW THAT YOU ARE, PLEASE REVEAL YOURSELF TO ME.  LET ME HEAR YOU WITH MY EARS, LET ME SEE YOU WITH MY EYES.  SHOW YOURSELF TO ME I BEG YOU.”  
You can’t MAKE God do anything for you.  But you can plead with Him and if you have a right heart, He will reveal Himself to you because He loves you.  You can’t make God do anything, but you can humble yourself before Him, and if He sees you with a humble heart, He’s going to help you because He loves you.  But don’t run to prophets, don’t think that you can navigate the future by listening to all the dreams and all the visions and all the interpretations of men across the internet and all the prophets of old that have already died from the biblical times.  The gift of the Holy Spirit IS FOR YOU and when you receive the Holy Spirit Jesus Christ will lead you because YOU ARE HIS SHEEP!  HE WILL LEAD YOU!  Your hand needs to be in Jesus’s hand, not some prophet, not some preacher, not someone that you don’t know.  The true children of God DO NOT LISTEN TO STRANGERS, they listen to JESUS CHIRST.  Go and PRAY, pray until you KNOW it is JESUS CHRIST that leads you and guides you, and never let go of Him.     YOU HAVE NO HOPE UNLESS YOU GET TO KNOW JESUS AND YOU REALLY START OBEYING HIM.
