Memoirs from the word of God Volume 1

Pick up your cross and follow Jesus not self:

The bible says to pick up your cross and follow Jesus and deny self, Matt.16:24-26 then Jesus said unto his disciple, if any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross and follow me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it. For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
Jesus said to deny self, if we don't we will be full of self and follow self instead of Jesus and then when we pick up our cross we will want him to follow us instead of us following him, remember He said if any man come after me, then deny self and follow Me, are you going to go after Him or self? We need to be emptied of self, John the Baptist said I must decrease as He increases, in other words I must be emptied of self and filled with Him, with His Spirit, same with us, John 3:22, so deny self and go after Him and pick up your cross and follow Him, not self and self will any more, only those that do the will of my Father shall enter into the kingdom of heaven, Jesus said this, it is written in red, which means Jesus said it, Matt. 7:21-23. These people that stood before the Lord called Him Lord Lord and 1 Cor. 12:3 says no man can call Jesus Lord except by the Holy Ghost, many will stand and justify these scriptures and say that Jesus said this before He died, but let me tell you today in context with the word of God, Jesus said in Rev. 3:5 He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father and before his angels, you see Jesus said those that overcome He will not blot their name out of His book of life and this is in the New Testament after He died and it's written in red meaning the Master said it and in the last book of the bible. These people stood before the Lord and said Lord Lord after they had died and stood before Him. They professed to tell Him didn't we prophecy in thy name? And cast out devils in thy name? and in thy name done many wonderful works, remember He said only those that do the will of my Father shall enter into heaven, these people did their own works and will because the Lord told them to depart from Him and the reason they did the works was because of the power of His name, they used His name and the power of it to work their self willed works, it's the name that works, but they used His name for self not Him, that's why He told them to depart from Him, so you see we have to pray even in ministry that His will and works be done and not end up like these people. Because miracles happen in His name, it's the name that works them through the power of the Spirit, but be sure it's in His will and His works, not self. Remember these people called Him Lord Lord and no one can call Him Lord but by the Holy Ghost, also no one can cast out devils except through the power of the Holy Ghost. You can justify all you want and not believe the word of God or just blot out what you don't want to believe in the word but it doesn't change the word, heaven and earth shall pass away, but my word will never pass away, Matt. 24:33, I am the Lord thy God, I change not, neither does His word, Mal. 3:6. Some churches and people have stopped following Jesus and are in error today, they follow self and false teachers and prophets and even false apostles and hirelings in the pulpits, leading them astray, John 10:12, 13, leaving the foundational truths of Gods word, Matt. 22:29, they do always err because they know not the scriptures, their not rooted and grounded in the word of God, novices, their not standing upon the rock and anchored in, Matt.7:24-27, Heb. 6:19, Matt. 7:15-20. Rev. 2:2 to the church of Ephesus, they had tried those that called themselves apostles, and found them to be liars.
