#Following, #Leaders,

When it comes to your soul, who are you following?  Some follow people.  Some follow a man or a woman.  They like how he or she does certain things, so they follow them.  Those that follow people, tend to try and please people.  So, when it comes to your soul, who are you following?

Man can not save you.  Woman can not save you.  Jesus saves.  In the Bible, Jesus called his disciples one by one.  Each one that he called, he said, "follow me".  At no times did Jesus ever tell his disciples to follow anyone of anything else.

In Matthew 8:22 the scriptures speak to a certain disciple that said unto Jesus, "suffer me first to go and bury my father.  But Jesus said unto him, Follow me; and let the dead bury their dead."

In Matthew 4:19 Jesus tells his disciples to 'Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men."

When it comes to your soul, who are you following?

The rich young ruler came to Jesus, 'after' Jesus had just finished teaching his disciples and telling them 'suffer little children and forbid them not to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven."   The rich young ruler had a question concerning that to do to have eternal life.  Jesus told him in verse 21, "If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me."  This saying from Jesus made the rich young ruler sorrowful and caused him to turn away because his possessions were great.

When it comes to your soul, who are you following?

Jesus always commanded men to follow him, not them.

Following Jesus means obeying the Word, for the Word is God (John 1:1).  The Lord commands his people to study the Word.  For studying will teach one how to know truth from error and how to know the 'voice of the word' from the voice of error.

Holiness has a sound.  When the day of Pentecost was fully come, that sound came from Heaven.  Saints still listen for that sound.  It help the Saint to know who is a disciple of the Lord and who is not.

When it comes to your soul, who are you following?

In the book of John chapter 10 verse 4 and 5 the Lord teaches that his sheep know his voice and a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him:

When it comes to your soul, who are you following?  It Heaven is your goal, you have to follow Jesus and take no chance of getting lost.

#Call Jesus,#Cry out,#Jesus, Deliverer

If you call Jesus right, he will hear you and come see about you.  Ask blind Bartimaeus. The scriptures says in St. Mark 10:46-52 that Jesus, His disciples and a great number of people were leaving Jericho.  Blind Bartimaeus heard that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by.  Blind Bartimaeus could not see.  He did not know what Jesus looked like.  He only knew what he heard. Blind Bartimaeus began to cry out to Jesus, "Jesus, thou son of David have mercy on me".  When the people tried to stop him, he cried out the more so, "Thou son of David, have mercy on me".  He did no let people keep him from calling on the Lord.  He must have heard about the miracles, healing, deliverance that took place at the hand of the Lord. Jesus heard the cry of Blind Bartimaeus.  It was the sound of the cry that revealed to the Lord that Blind Bartimaeus was calling out in a blind state, but yet believing something would happen if he could get the attention of Jesus of Nazareth. .  He w

#A Lot of Singing,#Shouting,#Tongue Talking,#Playing

Music was one of the things that drew me to want to go to Church when I was not saved.   I use to love to hear and 'feel' the spirit of the songs.  Back then, the singers would sing unto the Lord.  They were not paid to sing.  They were not seeking recording contracts.  They would sing unto the Lord.  The would sing about the Lord.  So, when one went to hear the singers, your soul got touched whether you wanted it to or not. I can remember going to the Holiness Churches.  The praise was different too.  When the Saints praised God back then, it was real.  When the Saints did dance 'in the Spirit', it was real.  You could feel it.  There was always this 'presence' in the Holiness Church that I could not explain....then.  But that presence kind of held you captive, whether you wanted it o or not.  And, sometimes Church would go on for hours, but no one cared.  And, if one of the Saints said something to you that the Lord gave them for you, you knew it and felt it

#Bible,#Word of God,#Leave It Alone

"For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book."   Revelations 22:18-19 The scriptures are plain.  The Bible is not to be played with.  The words written in it are to be taught and preached unto the soul of men.  To add to the what the Lord has already said will bring plagues upon man kind.  To take away from what the word says, will cause a person's part in the holy city (Heaven) to be removed.  So, why would anyone try and change what the Bible says?  Cute sayings do not lead a soul to salvation.  It takes the Word preached and taught.  The Bible says specifically that the word is God ( John 1:1 ).   The Bible says specifical
