My Testimony Why- Jesus YES “church” NO
My testimony for Jesus is that I WAS a Baptist evangelical youth pastor. All my life I was a Christian in church and I truly believed that I needed to be part of a church to be well pleasing to God. I thought they were the ones who would hold me accountable, they were the ones I would donate to, give my ten percent to, they would encourage me and I would encourage them, as iron sharpens iron so one man sharpens another, and I truly believed I would always be part of church, church ministries and building up the church organization because I though it was the will of God for me. I because a youth pastor and for about seven years I worked as a junior high youth pastor. I had a weekly ministry where I would preach the gospel reading students the Bible. I believed myself to be very godly because I was biblical. Everything I taught was from the Bible. Never would I do a sermon without reading from the Bible. I brought kids to camp and I would occasionally I would preach sermons in “big church”. I had a lot of conformation from adults because they really believed my ministry was biblical. But after about seven years I started to have some hardships in my life that really brought me into prayer. I really started seeking Jesus with all of my might and I started having dreams and visions from Jesus and the Holy Spirit started speaking to me while I was praying. One of the things that Jesus told me was that I was on my way to hell along with most people in my family and the church I was going to, as well as the whole organized church of today is as a whorehouse to Jesus. He told me it is as a whorehouse because as a prostitute sleeps around with many men for money, so the organized church is prostituting herself out to sin in the world. The church is accepting all the sins of the world, and all the sinners of the world, they are just accepting it. And as long as you are going to church and paying your tithe they will accept you as a member. Jesus called me OUT of the church. HE said that if I wanted to follow Him I must leave church and the ideas of church behind. I had to detach for all my “wise counselors”, including people in my family, my pastors, my mentors. I could not follow Jesus as my Teacher and have MEN who were my counselors. I had to choose. I chose Jesus and I chose Jesus and not church because Jesus HIMSELF called me out of church. It wasn’t because I just thought well everyone in church are hypocrites and it’s all full of hypocrisy, and I don’t want to be a part of church because hypocrites go there… It wasn’t because I wanted to be lazy or anything like that. It was because Jesus Himself called me out of church calling it a whorehouse, and If I wanted to be right with Jesus I had to leave and detach from my wise counselors who were there and all the doctrines of men. If we follow Jesus we have to be separate from people who pull us astray. If we are going to enter the Kingdom of Heaven we have to be fully focused on Jesus and pushing our way into the Kingdom. Jesus said that it is with violence that we push into the Kingdom of Heaven. Not with physical violence but with violence against sin and wickedness. Our battle is not against people but it is against principalities, it is against wickedness, it is against the demonic forces. We need to be serious about pursuing Jesus. People in church are not serious. To them it is a club, it is a social club that donates their money so that they can do things like go mission trips and pay their bills for their church service. But those who follow Jesus are dedicated to HIM. Jesus say that if we love Him we will obey Him and keep His commandments. And if we start walking with Jesus He Himself will take care of all our needs. He is our Master, He is our Counselor and He is our good Shepherd that takes care of us. Are you following Jesus by His Holy Spirit? Or are you trying to follow Jesus in church by listening to the doctrines of men and of demons? May the grace of Jesus be with you.

Christians Will Amount to Nothing in the World
What a wonderful day it is to belong to Jesus Christ and not to the world. It is truly a blessing to have Jesus as our KING and as our LORD because HE LOVES US. And He leads us and guides us as His children. Some of us have gotten the accusation from satan before or one of those agents of satan, how we will never amount to anything in the world, if we follow Jesus you won’t ever be anything. And the truth is WE WILL NEVER BE ANYTHING IN THE WORLD BECAUSE JESUS HAS CALLED US OUT OF THE WORLD. And that is such a blessing to not have to compete with the world to be something. I want to read to you what Jesus said in John chapter 15, I’m starting in verse 18; “If the world hates you, you know that it hated me before it hated you. if you were of the world the world would love its own, yet because you are not of the world but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. Remember the word that I said to you, a servant is not greater than his master. If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you. If they kept My world, they will keep yours also. But all these things they will do to you for My namesake because they do not know HIM who sent Me. If I had not come and spoken to them they would have no sin, but now they have no excuse for their sin. He who hates Me hates my Father also...” If we really have the love of Jesus in us, and if we have been called OUT of the world, we don’t belong to the word, we don’t “fit in” anymore. And you might start to realize that in your workplace or with your old friends or with the people that used to be close to you, that you no longer get along with them, NOT because you don’t love them, not because you want to be rude, but because your life is going a completely different direction. With Jesus, because we are called out of the world, we are hated by the word. The world hated Jesus Christ. If they loved Jesus, they will love us, but if they hated Jesus they will also hate us. So, I want to encourage you as brothers and sisters in the Lord, DON’T STRIVE TO BE LOVED BY THE WORD. Don’t strive to be accepted in your workplace or at your school. Be separate so that you can be connected to Jesus Christ. Disconnect from the world, disconnect from everything that is evil and sinful and separate yourself from people who are worldly. Touch NOTHING that is unclean and Jesus will accept you as His son or as His daughter.

Which Commandments You MUST Keep to Inherit Eternal Life
I want to tell you that when I first started following Jesus, I was introduced to some people that were trying to follow Jewish tradition. They got me listening to what the Jews taught and specifically this one guy who said he believed in Jesus, said he followed the teachings of Jesus but also, he taught the Law of Moses, keeping the Ten Commandments and all of the Law. If you ask these Jews which commandments of the Old Testament you still have to keep, they would say; “Well, not all the laws apply to every person, but you have to keep all the laws that apply to you… do you think that you should go out and murder someone? Do you think you should go out and commit adultery?” And so they would teach the Law of Moses as if you also had to abstain from certain foods, you would have to cook a certain way, basically ALL the laws of the Jews they thought every single person had to keep in order to be a good Christion. Now, anyone who is a good Jew or good Christian knows the 10 Commandments, we know the commandments of Exodus chapter 20. But Jesus did not come saying that we will inherit eternal life by keeping the Law of Moses or the 10 Commandments. The commandments of Jesus are different. If you want to know the commandments that lead to everlasting life, they are not found in Exodus 20 but in John 15. I want to read to you what Jesus said. I’m starting in verse 9; “As the Father loved Me, I also have loved you; abide in My love. 10 If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love.11 “These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full. 12 This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. 13 Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends. 14 You are My friends if you do whatever I command you. 15 No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I heard from My Father I have made known to you. 16 You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you. 17 These things I command you, that you love one another.” Jesus commands us to have HIS love in us, that we love GOD with ALL of our heart and that we love our neighbor as ourselves. You can tell the difference between a true Christian who has the love of Jesus in them and a false prophet, a false bother or sister by their love. Are they really keeping the commandments of Jesus? Or are they just trying to keep the traditions and the Law of Moses and the 10 Commandments? Remember the Pharisees, they kept the 10 Commandments, maybe in their own church, they kept them perfectly, but according to Jesus they still were not saved. Most of the Jews, these Pharisees did NOT inherit eternal life. Most of them perished even though they kept the 10 Commandments and the Law of Moses. Will we side with Jesus and keeping HIS commandments or the religious? The religious Christians, the religious Jews who try to keep the Law to the best of their ability. Whose side will you be on today, the religious or with Jesus Christ? May the grace of Jesus be with you.

Marriage Won’t Solve Your Lust Problem
There are a lot of men who just can’t get lust out of their life, they are always looking at pornography, they are always lusting after women, they cannot control themselves. They think it is impossible for them to be pure, impossible to get out of lust. Many men have the excuse that they are not married, they say; “If I was just married, I wouldn’t have to do these things…” But I will tell you what, getting married will only compound your problems, it will only make your lust WORSE unless you are submitted to Jesus Christ first in your life. When I got married, I didn’t just suddenly become pure and now that I have my wife to be with, that didn’t just eliminate all the problems of lust. I had to conquer that in Jesus’s name. I had to humble myself before Him and ask Him to cleanse me from the unrighteousness of lust. Don’t think that your problems will be solved just because you get married. Make sure that you control yourself. Ask the Holy Spirit to fill you, to change your mind, to get lust out of your heart and out of your life. Otherwise, your lust will take you to hell. Make sure that you truly repent. Get right with Jesus Christ, receive His Spirit and live in the newness of life. You CAN stop sinning if you want to stop sinning. Jesus Christ is the way out.

A Kingdom and the World Coming to an End
The kingdom that it coming to its completion is the kingdom of the word, satan’s kingdom that he is in charge of. You don’t have any hope of this world going on much longer or peace lasting for very long. As we know from the scriptures there will be peace for a SHORT amount of time and then there will be complete destruction upon the earth, the elements will melt with a fervent heat, Jesus will return for the people that are HIS, but the rest will be damned. We have great hope IF we do not belong to the kings and the kingdoms of this world. For us who are the Children of God it is only the very beginning of our journey with the Lord Jesus Christ in His Kingdom. We have great hope. But you have no hope if your hope is in this world, in the world getting better and having heaven on earth. Which kingdom do you belong to? Do you belong to the kingdom of the world that satan owns and operates? Or do you belong to the Kingdom of God that is just starting? May the grace of Jesus be with you.

Having a Dream of Vision isn’t Proof You’re Hearing God’s Voice
When you first come into the faith and you are trying to hear from he Holy Spirit, one pitfall to avoid is thinking that you are hearing from the Holy Spirit just by having a dream of a vision. A lot of newborn Christians, they think that if they just have a dream of a vision that will be proof to them that they are hearing God. But you have to be careful about this because satan is also a spirit and he will try to deceive you through dreams and visions. I remember some time ago there was a Christian, he was also a Pentecostal who believed in dreams and visions, and he had this dream that he believed to be from God, but it was about him as a worship arts leader, playing his guitar in front of a football stadium amount of people. And his dream came from satan but he believed that it was of the Holy Spirit. But it was deceiving him into becoming famous, popular and someone who the Christian culture would love. Likewise, my mom, being a disciple of Jesus one time had a dream that I was divorcing or leaving my spouse. But dream also came from the devil. Just because a dream or a vison comes to you that appears to be spiritual, does NOT mean it came from the Holy Spirit, likely it did come from satan, your enemy. The only way to know the difference and to know the Lord’s voice, is by praying to Him and seeking out the truth. Remember that before Jesus was put to death, when He was in Pilate’s court, Jesus answered Pilate and He said to him; “Everyone who is of the truth hears MY voice.” Pilate is seemingly upset and he says back to Jesus; “WHAT IS THE TRUTH?” and he walks back out to the Jews. Pilate did not know the truth because he did not know the words of Jesus. But Jesus Himself is the WAY the TRUTH and the LIFE. And those who want to seek after truth, they will seek after the words of Jesus Christ, they will pray and they will say; “Lord, please open my ears to hear you, and my eyes to see you…” And if you pray and ask for the truth to be in your heart, then the Holy Spirit is going to be working with you, molding you to His image and opening your ears, that is your spiritual ears, your conscience, to be able to hear Him correctly. So, don’t be deceived like many newborn Christians who are thinking that if they just have a dream or a vision that it must be the Holy Spirit. You need to hear the Holy Spirit with your conscience in the very bottom of your soul. Pray and as the Lord to open your ears, to open your eyes, that you may not be deceived by your enemy, but that you may hear the truth and walk in the TRUTH. May the grace of Jesus be with you.

An Extremely Strong Deception
The deception that is in the world today reaches nearly 100% EVEN amongst Christian believers. There is hardly a soul that hears from Jesus, and even fewer who hear from Jesus and REALLY go with Him and obey HIM. Jesus said that we HAVE to be BORN AGAIN! When we are born again we live in the newness of life, we no longer sin but we live righteous before Jesus, we practice daily what is HOLY and PLEASING TO JESUS CHRIST! Many Christians are living their life in church. They are held up by their congregation as a good example. They live their whole life reading the Bible, saying the name of Jesus, leading others to THEIR church and THEIR understanding of the scriptures. And then when they die, EVERYONE says; “There was a good man who passed into eternity who now sits with GOD, he has reached heaven and is with JESUS rejoicing with the angels. They make sinners saints, and they make out the prophets of God to be sinners and unholy hypocrites. They do NOT have the heart and the mind of Jesus. The vast majority of Christians today ARE ON THEIR WAY TO HELL, yet they THINK they are SAVED BY GRACE. They go on sinning, they refuse to tell ANYONE that the WAGES OF SIN IS DEATH! They do NOT proclaim the truth in their church. Their churches are BLACK DEATH! They are FULL OF DEMONS! The judgment of GOD is coming upon their churches and their pastors are WALKING TO HELL and leading others to HELL. Be warned that JESUS IS COMING and the unrighteous will NOT inherit the Kingdom of GOD. May the grace of Jesus be with you.
