The Name of Jesus.

 The Name of Jesus has affected different people, in different ways over the Centuries. Some love Him, some hate Him, and others are Indifferent.

Nevertheless, the Name of Jesus is on everyone's lips. 

 TO BORN-AGAIN BELIEVERS.

The Name of Jesus is a Joyful sound, full of Power, Majesty, Love, Mercy, and Salvation. 

 TO THE CULTS.

The Name of Jesus is used contrary to the Bible. So they can gain wealth and power over People. They deny Him completely, or say He is an angel, or the devil’s brother, or a prophet, but He is not God. 

 TO THE UNBELIEVERS. 

The Name of Jesus is a swear word. When something happens to them, they curse the Name of Jesus. 

 TO THE DEVIL.

The name of Jesus strikes terror, so the devil uses people to curse, belittle, undermine, and deny the Name of Jesus.

The devil today, and in times past, has attacked the Name of Jesus, in one way or another.  See, the devil will only try to come against the True God. By his attacks on Jesus and His followers, he is revealing who the true God is.

There is only one threat to the devil.

And that is the Precious Name of Jesus, for the name of Jesus has all Power and Authority in Heaven, Earth, and in hell.

To those of you who believe in Jesus.

Who belong to a church, who try their best to do the right thing, and know in their hearts there is still something missing. The answer is Jesus.

 I know, because I belonged to a church.

I believed in Jesus all my life, yet my life was empty. I longed to know Jesus better, yet I did not know how.

But bless God, I now know how.

And I want to share it with you in this book, on the life of Jesus Christ.

 

There are many people today

who want to get to know Jesus better and do not know how.

They have a hunger for God and the things of God; they cannot satisfy what is in their hearts, and the Answer is JESUS.                                                                                                                                    

 

Some people chase wealth.

Others chase big cars & boats, drugs, women, power over people, and large homes. When people get these things, which they have worked hard for, or perhaps stolen, they are still not satisfied. Do you know why?

Let me tell you why.

Because men and women are made in the image of God. They have the Breath of God in them. They chase after worldly goods to satisfy their lust, and in the process forget about God.

 

Deep down inside them, there is emptiness,

which will never be satisfied until they get to know their Creator, and the answer is;

You guessed it? JESUS.

 

Regardless of who you are, or what you are, JESUS LOVES YOU.

If you know about Jesus, that is good.

If you do what He tells you to do, that is even better.

If you don’t believe in Jesus, nevertheless, He still exists.

And He is God.

 

Whether you believe or not.

One day, every man and woman on this Earth will bow their knees to the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. Yes, His name is Jesus.

 

Look at,

Romans 14:11. For it is written, as I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.

 

In these dangerous and turbulent times;

Many people are worried about?

The Ozone Layer. Pollution. Climate Change. Atomic Weapons.

Moral Decay. Homosexuality. Gay Rights. and Filth on the TV.

What is going to happen to Our Children? How can we protect them?

I am telling you now:

The answer is still JESUS CHRIST.

 

Those who have given their hearts to Jesus,

who have accepted Him as Lord and Saviour, are the salt of the Earth. They know what is going to happen. They know how to protect their children, and they can see what is going on.

Matthew 5:13: You are the salt of the earth. But what good is salt if it has lost its flavour? Can you make it useful again? It will be thrown out and trampled underfoot as worthless.

Mankind has gone its own way.

They have gone against what is Good, and Holy, and Pure.

The blind leading the blind, and without Jesus,

they have fallen into the devil's trap.

 

The whole Earth is moaning, and groaning,

just like a woman in childbirth groans before her child is born,

so is the coming of our Lord, Jesus Christ.

 

PROPHECY.

Fear not, little children; there is one who cares. He came to the Earth, and was killed on the cross for the sins of the World. He rose from the dead and went to heaven to prepare a place for you.

Now He is getting ready to come back, not as poor Jesus, meek and mild.

But as the King of kings, and the Lord of lords, the Judge of all the Earth. Be patient, little children; the time is near; the Kingdom of God is at hand.

A little while longer, and all will be fulfilled.

Go out into the World and Preach the Gospel to Every Creature.

Those who believe will be saved and will be called;

The children of the Most High God, faithful and true. Amen.

 

There is a Yearning in the Heart of God.

For men and women to turn back to Him, to repent, and to be saved.

But that can’t happen unless believers are willing to go out and preach the Gospel, in season and out of season.

Romans 10:14: How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher? 

 

The word of God was not given to angels to preach, but to us.

We have to preach the Word of God, with all love and patience, to The Unbelievers, The Sick, and The Hurting:

To anyone that will listen, regardless of who they are,

Jesus loves them all.

That is why He allowed Himself to be killed on the Cross:

So He can die for the sins of the whole world; so tell them.

 

There is a lack of knowledge of God’s Word (The Bible).

Men and Women, God’s people, are being destroyed because of the lack of knowledge of God’s Word.

Hosea 4:6 says, my people are destroyed for lack of knowledge:

Jeremiah 23:1 Woe be unto the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture! Saith the Lord.

Jeremiah 3:15: And I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding.

 

There are some Ministers in the Pulpit without Knowledge.

Who don’t know God or the things of God?

Instead of teaching about the Word of God and His direction for us in the Churches, they talk about something else.

 

Because they don’t know God’s Word,

they don’t know God, and quite frankly, if they don’t know God’s Word, they should not be in the Pulpit. How are they going to feed God’s sheep?

 

We need men and women of God.

Who love the Lord and are obedient to Him.

Who are Free to Preach and Teach the Word of God Boldly with the Authority in the Name of Jesus and the Power of the Holy Spirit.

 

Many people are sick,

and die before their time because they are taught God wants them sick.

 

All my life, I have believed in God.

Yet I feel I have wasted all those years of my life not knowing God, because no one told me that I could have Salvation and a personal experience with Jesus Christ.

Romans 10: 9-10 that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

:10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth, confession is made unto salvation.

 

During those years,

of not knowing God's Will for my life, I have watched my father and two of his close friends die, one after another with cancer, and there was nothing I could do.

But bless God.

Jesus is now my Saviour. He is my life. I now know His will, and I will not sit idly by and watch someone sick and dying without Jesus.

 

With their permission,

I will pray for them, knowing it is God’s Will to heal them. Jesus said to lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.

 Look at Mark 16:15-18, and he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.

:16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved, but he that believeth not shall be damned.

:17 and these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;

:18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

 

I have seen God do many Miracles in the hearts and lives of many people.

Even unbelievers were healed when they asked if Jesus would heal them.

I have personally seen Jesus heal people and deliver them from all manner of sicknesses and diseases, from Cancer – Leukaemia - Back Problems - arthritis – Haemorrhoids - Deliverance from demons – Drugs – Witchcraft - etc.

You see, it is God’s Word that will set the captive free, for His Word, the Bible, reveals the Will of God to us.

 

By looking at the ministry of Jesus Christ,

God’s Will is revealed to us through Jesus, who is God’s Express Will in Action.

 Just look at Jesus, and then we can believe God for Miracles.

John 5:19 Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.

 

Faith cannot come to believe unless you hear God’s word.

Romans 10:17: So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

People cannot be set free unless you and I are hearers and doers of God’s word.           

 

The devil has deceived some religious leaders of this World,

because they do not know the Word of God; they are without knowledge,

and their People are not feeding on God’s Word; therefore, they are in fear.

Well, we are to have good, accurate knowledge of God’s Word.

 

God wants you to be free from sickness and disease.

Sadly, some people are leaving the traditional churches,

because they are not being fed on God’s Word.

They are hungry for spiritual things and are tricked into joining the occult. Why? Because they lack knowledge of the One and Only True God, and His Son, Jesus Christ.

 

Still, others tell people,

it is God’s will for them to be sick or hurting.

Because they are sinners, and it is God’s punishment for their sins. 

Hey, wait a minute?

Jesus paid the Price of sin with His Precious Blood.

This type of teaching is not Scriptural Truth.

It is a false Religious Doctrine; it goes against the Truth of the Word of God.

 

Jesus would never go against His Father's will.

Check out the following scriptures. Read Isaiah53:4-12.

Also 1 Peter 2:24...by whose stripes ye were healed.

Matthew 12:15...and he healed them all.

Matthew 12:22...and he healed him, 

 

SO DOES JESUS HEAL TODAY? If so, WILL HE HEAL ME, A SINNER?

The answer to that question is absolutely, YES, YES, and YES. Amen.

You see, Jesus did complete work on the Cross;

The Cross of Jesus is a completed work.

The Suffering on the Cross was Cruel, Hideous, monstrous, and Evil.

Invented by the Romans to inflict maximum suffering and pain with prolonged death. Yet, Jesus' willingness and obedience to His Father, to suffer for the Sin of the world, to die for lost Humanity, to offer Salvation to all who will come, is very beautiful.

 

Jesus suffered so that we can be redeemed from the curse of sin.

He died so that we can have Salvation.

He went into hell so you and I would not have to go there.

That is why I call the work of the cross "Beautiful."

 

There are too many people.

Who need to know the Beautiful Work of the Cross?

God’s plan for Salvation.

God’s plan for Mankind.

The love and Provision of God for - The Sinner - The Drunk - The Addict -

The Sick - The Hurting - The Dying and The Starving. 

 

God has put love in my heart for the sinner - The sick - the hurting and for His own children.

I Preach and Teach, the Word of God without Compromise or Favour, or Regard towards Men.

This might sound extreme at first, but Jesus is my Lord, and He told me that time is short, and people are dying without Jesus.

Love speaks the truth, but sometimes the truth hurts.

 

For example;

If I don’t tell a person that he or she needs Jesus and that He loves them, that God is not holding their sin against them, that they only need to come to Jesus.

 Then I don’t love them, especially if they are in danger of going to hell.

2 Corinthians 5:19 ...not imputing their trespasses unto them;...

 

So please read this book with the love it contains, for the love that I have is not mine, but God’s.
