You aren't here by chance

You Aren’t Here by Chance

 At times before I was really walking with Jesus, I would have such as spiritual low that I wouldn’t want to talk to anyone about God. I just knew that if I talked to anyone about God I would be as a hypocrite because I didn’t really believe in Him myself. I was not sure if he even existed. If you have ever got to this point in your life, I want to share with you just a quick thought; I want you to imagine taking a stone some kind of a rock and just throwing it against the ground. The only thing you would expect from that rock hitting the ground is maybe it would shatter and as soon as it shattered it would break up into smaller pieces.  We would never expect out of those shattered rocks to emerge a brand new piece of technology such as a cell phone. If you see your cell phone sitting on your table, we all know that it was created by engineers, companies who put a lot of time and energy and science into that piece of technology. We don’t ever assume that it was just created by chance. We also know that we as human beings are MUCH more complex, much more sophisticated and any piece of technology. So how can we assume that all technology was created by an intellect, but that we might be chance and maybe God is just somewhere out in the universe and He doesn’t want to communicate with us? Obviously, cell phones were made to communicate, and obviously human beings were made to communicate with their Maker. We are not by chance. The world is not by accident. But the reason why we can’t hear from God clearly is due to our own sin, our own fault. It’s not that God is broken or He just somewhere out in space, it’s that people love of their sin and their darkness more than the light of the truth. Compare it to the cell phone analogy again; There are a lot of people that are just scared of technology, it’s not that the creators of the cell phone made something that is too hard to use.  It’s not hard to get on your cell phone and call someone in a different country, is not hard to upload a YouTube video, it’s actually quite easy. But if you’re just scared of technology, you’ll never pick it up and use it. And (likewise), if you just think that the only people that can hear from God are pastors and church leaders and spiritualists, then you won’t do the work of getting to know your Creator your Heavenly Father. Jesus created you and me and everyone, and you are MUCH MORE sophisticated and much more loved then any piece of technology that man has created. You’re not by mistake and you’re not by a chance. Jesus created you, and the only thing stopping you from getting to know your Creator is YOURSELF. If you get on your knees and start praying and asking Lord Jesus; “Who are You? Please open my ears to hear You...”  He will communicate with you because He is alive and He loves you. What holds you back?  What keeps you from really praying and asking for ears that here and eyes that see? May the grace of Jesus be with you.

We are judged by Jesus's words not bossy Christian

We Will be Judged Jesus’s Words NOT Bossy Christians 

Many of us are controlled and bossed around by what people think. Even if we think something that is true, we are reserved and speaking out that truth because we are fearful of what people may say, they may call us name, or call us a false prophet or cast us out of the church. It is true today and it was also true during the times of Jesus with the Jews. But each and every single one of us will be judged according to the words of Jesus NOT some church and their doctrine, not some preacher on the internet or in some church. We won’t be judged according to the rules of our parents or our grandparents or anyone else. We will be judged according to the words of Jesus, those are the words that will judge us when we take our last breath.

 I want to read to you John chapter 12 starting in verse 42; “Nevertheless even among the rulers many believed in Him (being Jesus), but because of Pharisees they did not confessed Him, lest they be put out of the synagogue, for they love the praise of men more than the praise of God.” See, even during Jesus’s time, many of the Jews saw the miracles of Jesus, they saw what Jesus was doing and they wanted to believe in Him, but because they fear the religious crowd, they were scared to speak up and to walk with Jesus, they just kept it inside of them instead of proclaiming the truth of God.

 “Then Jesus cried out and said; ‘He who believes in Me, believes not in Me, but in Him who sent Me, and He who sees Me sees Him who sent Me.  I have come as a light into the world, that whoever believes in Me should not abide in darkness. And if anyone here is My words and does not believe, I do not judge Him, for I did not come to judge the world, but to save the world. He Who reject Me and does not receive My words as that which judges him. The WORD that I have spoken will judge him in the last day.’”

 Many people have Jesus wrong, many street preachers, many internet preachers, many church leaders… They have this idea that they should call fire out of heaven and kill sinners. Jesus did not come to kill sinners, He came to call sinners to repentance, to save their souls. He doesn’t want us just to continue to be sinners, but he wants to save us from our sins, THUS us calling us OUT of our sins, that we may be saints, holy and pure before our God. 

I want to continue with what Jesus said here, vs. 49 and 54; “For I have not spoken on My own authority but the Father who sent Me gave Me a command, what I should say and what I should speak. And I know that His command is everlasting life, therefor, whatever I speak, just as the Father has told Me so I speak.”

 Jesus and His Father are ONE.  That doesn’t mean that Jesus is the Father or the Father is Jesus, (as some Pentecostals believe), But He and His Father are ONE. And Jesus has the words of everlasting life. If we want to enter into the presence of God, then we need to live according to the words of Jesus, not someone else’s words, not someone else’s standards, not their doctrines, not there interpretations of God. But we have to live according to the words of Jesus, THAT is the law for us. Will we live according to the words of Jesus and never be ashamed? Or will we keep ourselves reserved because of what the church says, their laws, their doctrines, do we fear being a hypocrite? 

 You know I would rather be a hypocrite in the eyes of people and right before God, then a hypocrite before God and look right before church people, before the pastor’s, before the elders and deacons, before all the lay people in the church. I would rather be right before God and have everyone think I’m a liar and a hypocrite and a false prophet. 

What about you?  Would you rather be right with God and detested by people?  Would you rather them call you false, but be right with God? Or would you rather have everyone speak well of you,  but in reality, God is against your soul, because you play the hypocrite and you haven’t really repented of the sins He’s called you to repent from?

Don’t Look to the standard of men, don’t look to the standard of people. Jesus and His words are the words that will judge you and me and everyone on the last day. Are we living according to the words of Jesus and are we honoring Him and living for Him with all of our heart, soul,  mind and strength? May the grace of Jesus be with you.

What we learned from the life & death of Jan Boshoff (finalcall07)

This man by the name of Jan Boshoff truly was a man of God. You can find his videos and his testimony on the internet under (finalcall07).  He passed away January 19th 2020. He taught me many things and not because it was his teachings but the Holy Spirit that worked through him. One of the things that I learned even in my more mature Christian walk is that we should never complain. Even though this man had cancer, he could barely hold up his head, he could barely speak in his last days he continued to preach Jesus and he never complained.

 Even though people persecuted him and many people hated him and any chance they got they drug his name to the mud, he did not complain but he continue to keep his eyes on Jesus and he continued to be steadfast in the truth. While most Christians would just give up he continue to push through and he never let go of Jesus and he finished on the Rock. He left a very good example for us to follow. He left all of us without excuse. If Jesus healed this man maybe we would think that we had an excuse, we could say to ourselves, "Well Jesus healed this man, why didn’t he heal me? Why didn’t he heal my mom when she passed away?"  But Jesus let this man have cancer and did not heal him, yet he continually praised Jesus even with cancer even with people against him, he praised Jesus and he never gave up. Will we follow Jesus and continue to praise Him no matter what?  Will we continue to preach Jesus even though people resist us and hate us?  No matter what our trial or tribulation will we never give up hope and to our last breath endure with Jesus to the very end?

Imposter "holy" spirits and Christians

Imposter “holy” spirits and Christians 

There is only one true Holy Spirit that comes from the Father above. Jesus promised this gift of the Holy Spirit to those that would obey Him and seek Him. There are however many impostor “holy” spirits, these are actually demons, people call them spirit guides, and there are even some Christians who have received false “holy” spirits and they think that they are getting revelation from God. They start to hear very strange things from the “holy” spirit and they have strange manifestations that come from the supposed “holy” spirit. But they are actually demons that they hear.

 Because I was Baptist, I know how a lot of Christians think, they will say; “Well we have a more sure Word of God in the Bible, so don't rely on the Holy Spirt, rely on what we know which is recorded in the Bible.” This is a false train of thought because, I know you can get a dozen men who all claim to have the Holy Spirit in the same room and they can even all be reading the exact same scripture, the exact same verse from the exact same diversion and they can come up with a dozen different interpretations. The scripture did not help them to see the truth or to come into the truth. Just remember the Pharisees who had Jesus in front of them, they compared to Jesus to their scriptures, which they would say is the absolute truth, and they found Jesus to be a liar and a heretic and worthy to be killed. The point here being the scriptures will not lead you into truth, if you don’t have the Holy Spirit the scriptures are no good to you. But if you do receive the Holy Spirit, the Holy Spirit will teach you what is meant in the scriptures and will bring to your memory all things that you have read in the scriptures and will help you distinguish between truth and error, He even tells you of things to come. 

So how can we know the difference between a lying spirit, that pretends to be the Holy Spirit, our own thinking inside of our mind, and when the Holy Spirit is actually speaking to us? If you want to know, I do encourage you to read John chapter 14-16.  In those chapters Jesus speaks about the gift of the Holy Spirit. And one disciple asked; “How is it Lord that the world won’t be old to see you but we will?” and Jesus is response to them is that the world is not going to be able to see Him, but we will know Him because He is in us and we are in Him, and if we seek Jesus with all of our heart, if we seek what is good and pleasing to God, then His Holy Spirit will be sent to us, He will manifest Himself to us and He will teach us all things, He will guide us.

 The way that you will be able to know the difference between the true Holy Spirit who will speak you and teach you, and a lying spirit, is by the Holy Spirit that’s inside of you!  And there’s no way good way to explain it until you have met Jesus for yourself and until He has given you the gift of the Holy Spirit. It’s exactly like Jesus said, the world will not see Him nor understand Him.  To the world it’s just another spirit, there’s this spirit, there’s that spirit, there’s 8 billion spirits and who could tell the difference? But if you have received the Holy Spirit and your hearing from your heavenly Father, you are one of His sheep, and His sheep KNOW His voice, they don’t listen to strangers.  And if you pray and you seek Jesus with all your heart and you do find Him, just don’t let go of His voice.  

You will know His voice, you will know the difference between Him and all the other evil spirits, all the other people that say; “I’ve heard a word from God, I’ve heard directly from Jesus that…” this that and the other… you will be able to tell the difference because you know your Master’s voice and you know the difference between that evil spirits, your own thinking and the voice of your Master the Holy Spirit. 

The only way to know is to get to know your Maker, to get to know Jesus. He made you, He made your mind, He made your soul, He made everything that is you that is physical in this realm, and everything that is you spiritually and He knows how to speak to you. So, if you want to get to know Him and know the truth and know how to distinguish truth from error, start praying to Him. Be serious to seek Him and want to do His will.  He will teach you and He will guide you.  Jesus did not promise us an elder, He did not promise us a pastor, and He did not promised us the scriptures like the Pharisees had to lead us.  Jesus promised us the better gift of His Holy Spirit.  Will you receive Him and when you make Him your ONLY Teacher?  Will you be able to tell the difference between your Master’s voice and the imposters?  May the grace of Jesus be with you.

True disciples verse Impostors and deceptive charity

True Disciples Vs. Imposters & Deceptive Charity 

There is a way to tell true disciples who are following Jesus from imposters. Jesus said that the way all will know you are (His) disciples is by if you have love for one another. (Jn 13:35)  If we really have love for one another and love for our Father in Heaven, then people will see that loved and they will see the difference between us and the world who doesn’t really care for other people. At best the world has charity and generosity.

When I was in church there was a great number of people who love me in the flesh. They never told me about the truth of Jesus, they never called me to repent of my sins, even when people saw that I was in sin, they didn’t call me to repent. But they did have charity. They did have love for my Earthly needs, that is why people would help me with things like food, you know groceries or gas, helping me with rent or whatever it was. People do have charity, but charity is not what God requires, He requires us to have true love for one another, the sort of love that comes from our Father in heaven.

 Remember that the greatest commandment of all is not just charity, but it is to love the Lord our God with all of our heart, all of our soul, all of our mind and all of our strength. And then the second greatest commandment is to love our neighbor as our self. It’s not that charity is bad or evil, but the problem is people hold on to charity to look good, just to do good deeds for others because they love humanity.  But if we don’t have the love of our Father in heaven first, then who don’t really have the love of Jesus in us and we’re not true disciples. 

True disciples really have love for one another because they know that Jesus loved us first. True love is that Jesus lay down His life for us, and we also ought to lay down or lives for others. We have to have that kind of love that is unconditional, even praying for our enemies and those that persecute us. The way you can tell the difference, whether it is online, or whether you’re in some church somewhere (Not that I’m advocating going to church), wherever you are is, if people really love God with all of their heart, are they loving others as themselves? Are they proving that they are God’s children by their love?

 There is a lot of imposters, they have a lot of doctrines, they know the Bible, they can quote everything to you to prove one thing or another, but they don’t have one ounce of love in them. They don’t really care for people’s souls, they don’t really care to win souls into the kingdom of God. They care to politic, they care about money, they care about fame. They care to make everyone think that they are loving and accepting of everyone, but we know that is not true love. Just accepting everything is not true love, even heathens are willing to accept their own. 

Worldly people want to see a kind of a peace that is a peace that just accepts all religions.  Now I know Baptists and Pentecostal and certain religious sects, they don’t just accept all religions, but they do except everyone within their little religious sect.  When I was Baptist, I was well accepted, people loved me for being Baptist (like them) they loved Andy. But when I started hearing from Jesus, they rejected the words of Jesus that He was speaking through me. They wanted the old Andy back. They wanted to love me and to be charitable, but they didn’t want it love the GOD that was working through me. 

True love is accepting the Lord Jesus as your personal Savior, accepting Him and ALL of His words all of His teachings, and having His love in you, that you may really love others as yourself.

 So don’t get charity mixed up with God’s love and don’t let imposters deceive you, thinking that they are loving when they are just loving their own Ministries their own lives (their own people) their own selves. Don’t be deceived by imposters. The true disciples who are really following Jesus, they love others and the whole world will KNOW by their love!  Do we really have the love of Jesus in us, are we loving God with all of our might and are we loving our neighbor as ourselves? Or do we just have “charity” like the heathens also have charity? May the grace of Jesus be with you

Overcome all anxieties and worries of the world

Overcome all Anxiety and Worries of the World
It is written in Philippians chapter 4:6-7; “Be anxious for nothing but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God, and the peace of God which surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds and hearts through Christ Jesus.” There are a lot of things that we can let our heart be concerned about or be anxious about in this world. But if we are the children of God, it is a wonderful thing to know that our God is alive and that He cares for us. Jesus hears our prayers. Supplication is begging or humbly asking something, something that is on our mind or on our heart.  And when we pray we know that the Lord hears our prayers. The way to be guided through our life is through prayer, by constantly staying on our knees, seeking the Lord and asking Him what to do. We don’t have to be smart or read the future. We don’t have to know how to interpret all the scripture in order to navigate through life and avoid the spiritual potholes, but we do have to have a relationship with Jesus Christ.  We have to stay connected with Him, because the branch that is disconnected from the vine cannot continue to live. People are not the Vine.  The church is not the Vine. Jesus Christ Himself is The Vine and we are the branches, and the way we stay connected to Him is by prayer, asking Him to guide us, just saying to Him; “I’m not sure which way to go… I’m not sure what to say to this person… I’m not sure how to act in the situation… I’m not sure why this person died… or why the situation happened…”  Whatever our concern is, whatever is worrying us, the best thing we can do is to bring it to straight to the throne of God, to pray to Him to say; “Lord Jesus help me, help me to overcome my anger…help me to overcome this situation…”  And whatever your situation is, if you fix your eyes on Jesus, He WILL carry you through. Jesus said; “Seek first the Kingdom of God and HIS righteousness and everything else will be added unto you…”  Are we truly seeking JESUS first?  May the grace of Jesus be with you.

Don't flood your mind with entertainment like a heathen

Don’t Flood Your Mind With Entertainment Like a Heathen
Don’t fill your mind with fruitless entertainment like a heathen, reading novels and books just to entertain you and to evade reality, filling your mind and your eyes with movies and with music… I’m not talking about EDUCATIONAL things like reading a math book for high school or anything like that, I’m talking about how many people just flood their minds with nonsense.  They check out book after book, of fantasy books at the library, just to take their mind off of reality.  They watch movie after movie just to entertain themselves so they can evade thinking about what they need to actually do in like to be right with their Maker, with GOD.  All of us could die today, and will we have been doing what was fruitful before our GOD, will we be found bearing good fruit, will we have been in prayer, seeking the LORD with all of our might, or will we be found as a people flooding our minds with nonsense, fruitless entertainment, fruitless LIES.  Remember that entertainment such as novels, fiction novels and  movies, THEY ARE NOT TRUE, they are just made up stories, and MOST of them are NOT as a parable (reflecting truth), they are not as something educational, THEY ARE LIES, and all liars and those who partake in a lie and let a lie entertain them, will have their part in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone, where all liars go.  As Christians we have to keep ourselves separate from this wicked kind of entertainment, just flooding our mind with fruitless nonsense.  Will we have the truth of Jesus on our heart?  Will we endure with Him and will be bear GOOD FRUIT, or will we put falsehood into our life, nonsense and fruitless garbage through entertainment?  May the grace of Jesus be with you.
