Which Jesus Do You Serve?



WHICH JESUS Do YOU SERVE??
-Postred by Brendon Powell.

There seems to be more than one Jesus to choose from these days.
Which one is the  true Jesus and who am I following?

·    There’s a ‘seeker friendly’ Jesus, he’s the one who will not
offend anyone in anyway. He loves everyone no mater what they do.
·    There’s a ‘sow and reap’ Jesus, he made a covenant with man
so that man could sow his seed and reap wealth and happiness on
earth and then go to heaven when he dies.
·    There’s a ‘blend in with the world’ Jesus, he wants us to look
like, act like, and be like the world in order to reach the lost.
·    There’s a ‘neverending grace’ Jesus, his ‘grace’ covers us no
matter what we do or how we live.
·    There’s a ‘just believe’ Jesus.  As long as you truly believe
in your heart, you’re saved.
·    There’s a ‘name it claim it’ Jesus.  You name it; anything and
it’s yours!  If you don’t get it, it’s because you lack faith. It’s your fault.
·    There’s a ‘carnal’ Jesus.  He doesn’t expect you to overcome
sin, he understands you’re just carnal.
·     There’s a ‘heart dwelling’ Jesus.  All you have to do is ask
him into your heart and voilĂ , he’s there.  You’re going to heaven!

Truth:

·    There’s the Jesus who said “Repent and believe the gospel,
the kingdom of God is at hand.” -Mark 1:15
He said, “Deny yourself, take up your cross and follow Him.” -Lk 9:23-25
He said without Him you are already condemned.  -John 3:18
  He said He came to save the world -John 3:16
   He said unless you forsake all you have, you cannot be His disciple.
   -Luke 14:33
He said if we love anyone more than Him we are not worthy of Him.
-Matt 10:37-39
   He said if you love this life you’ll lose it. -John 12:25-26
     He said you cannot serve God and money. -Matt 6:24
He said fear God who can destroy both body and soul in hell. -Mt 10:28
  He said be extreme in your war against sin. -Matt 18:8-9
     He said love God with all your heart, soul and mind and your
     neighbour as yourself. -Matt 22:37-39
       He said He is the light of the world. –John 8:12
He said the gate is narrow and the way is difficult and few find it.
-Matt 7:13-14
     He said those who believe in Him but work iniquity will be
       cast out. -Matt 7:21-23
He said you’ll be hated for His name’s sake, but if you endure to
the end, you’ll be saved. -Matt 10:22
   He said I am the way, the truth and the life.  No one comes to
    the Father but by Me. –John 14:6

DANGERS OF DESPONDENCY


DANGERS of "DESPONDENCY"
-Tammy Ricks.

Since you don't know me, may I share that I used to be zealous,
on fire, strong in the name of the Lord. Up until the end of Dec
2008--I had become like cold--white-dead meat--without blood--

After a break-through I was Led by the spirit of God to reveal the
assignment of the enemy used against me.

The word was, "Despondency".

I did not even know what that word meant--but when I looked it
up in Webster's--it was so right on--- such a Word of knowledge---
and the antonyms for it was exactly what I had been praying for.

I wanted my joy back. My zeal, my strength, my hope,my faith, my energy.

I thought that I had just been caught in a cycle of grief, hopeless-
ness and depression.

I believe that this is or will be used against the church in the last
days along with its next of kin---"Lethargy".

So--pray about this if it is for the rest of the body as well- that we
may be alert and vigilant and that the body of Christ may be aware
of the assignment against it.

If it is not for the rest but just me--then hold me up in prayer.

But right now--Prophetically I pray that the eyes of our hearts be
open to see and know---and I pray, In the Name of Jesus, that the
Spirits Of Lethargy and Despondency loose and lose its hold on
the Body of Christ, That she may be filled with the Spirit of Might
and Power, and Zeal for the Lord. May we be so full and
overflowing with the Spirit of God and the Gospel of Peace that
many run to His Light. I pray that God will fill us once again with
courage, Faith and strength---filled with a tenacious spirit to do
as God calls in these last days. May we be very strong and Brave
and awake. May we have eyes to see, ears to hear rightly what
the Spirit Of The Lord is saying and may we have the gift of
discernment and the faith to believe hat God is able to speak to
us and we hear properly. I break all self doubt and intimidation in
Jesus' name and command the fruits of righteousness to break
forth--- In Jesus' Mighty Name - Amen.

I also pray that where I was held back in time--that God, By His
Spirit will put me rightly where I am supposed to be. Right Heart,
Right Spirit, right time in Jesus' mighty Name--redeem the time - Amen.
