HOW TO LEAD PEOPLE TO JESUS

"How to Lead People to Jesus" this was a topic on the radio of "One Place today" and is misleading millions into a self-righteous religious walk.

This modern-day mindset of the apostate church is what brings the (pestilences) Jesus spoke of here.

Jesus Foretells Wars and Persecution

Luk 21:10-19 Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven. But before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my name's sake. And it shall turn to you for a testimony. Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before what ye shall answer: For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist. And ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolks, and friends; and some of you shall they cause to be put to death. And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake. But there shall not an hair of your head perish. In your patience possess ye your souls.

Many who read this passage of the Lord don't understand it because they read it with the mindset of being a reader alone and do not use their spiritual discernment of the passage. They do the same with these verses!

Joh 16:7,8 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you. And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment.

Considering the title of this essay we are going to explore these bible truths with my (emphasis) in brackets embedded within the verses considered. First a repeat of the title of this essay (How to Lead People to Jesus) which is a misleading ideology. For any human being to believe that their actions, example, or efforts can bring one to Jesus Christ is to be deceived and the attempt to usurp the work of the Holy Spirit of God. It's actually an ANTICHRIST spirit to believe such heresy! It's His work i.e. the Holy Spirit to (reprove, i.e to convict) an individual of their need of the Savior. It's NOT your work or responsibility before God to (Lead anyone to Jesus Christ) that is the Spirits (the Comforters) work NOT YOURS! It is only spiritual arrogance that any individual believes that they can (help God) in bringing others to know the Lord. Yes, we can be an example ONLY through allowing Jesus to live out His life in us, but we can play NO personal part in bringing another to Jesus Christ. That is a (me plus God) religion when it's (ALL of God) alone.

No Christian today can (Lead another to Christ spiritually)! What did Jesus say concerning one's desire to come to Him? Joh 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. He also said: Joh 6:44 No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day. Take NOTE here it is God who initiates the (drawing) NOT your Christian example, you're only the living tool that God uses with your interaction with one in whom you are witnessing, but it's God who does the (reproof i.e the conviction) upon the individual that (draws him/her) to the point of making a personal decision. All you can do is just share the truth through God's indwelling love within you to another but YOU of yourself CANNOT lead anyone to Jesus Christ.

When Philip brought Nathaniel physically to Jesus, that's all he could do. It was only after Jesus revealed His ability through His (divinity) by revealing to Nathaniel his previous location under the fig tree, that Nathaniel then realized that Jesus was the Son of God. Joh 1:49 Nathanael answered and saith unto him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the King of Israel. God always initiates the (drawing) in this case He used Philip and He uses us, but we personally PLAY no part in His drawing others in their spirits to Him within the spirit and it's God's NOT you that reveals Himself to another individual. The idea that YOU as a Christian can in some way (HELP GOD) is a deception and is ludicrous to even think your witness has anything to do with another one deciding to follow Jesus. This is only one aspect of (false teaching) of the apostate church in America and leads those who attempt to (help God) believe that their witness is in some way then warrants a star in their crown when all is said and done. The scripture states Jas 5:20 Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins.The (he) here is the Holy Spirit who ALONE can "convert" a sinner.

QUESTION: In whom was the Lord's brother referring to? Look at the previous verse! Jas 5:19 Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth, [he is speaking to the brethren] and one [of those brethren] convert him, [that is in error] then the next verse comes into view. Let him [that specific brethren] know, that he [that specific brethren] which converteth the sinner [convinces him/her of the truth of the matter and turns him/her] from the error of his [or her] way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins. The ONLY spiritual issue here is the FACT that the (brethern) who convinces the one in error, ONLY convinces him/her of their error and then the Spirit of God takes over and it is He that does the converting NOT the brethern who is a witness to the one in error. The brethern is only the means to an end. This is what James was saying!

QUESTION: Who does the "converting" [the brethren] or the Holy Spirit working on the fallen brother's mind i.e. heart? It's certainly NOT the [brethren who sets the example] before the wayward brother who is in error. No man can [convert another man] he/she can only set the example an already converted believer in Jesus be it a male or female before the one in error. ONLY God the Holy Spirit can make effective in the heart i.e. the mind of the one in error that (that one) is then converted back into the fellowship of the brethren.

Christianity is NOT a (me plus God) religion, it's ALL of God and has always been ALL of God. Yes, set the example of a godly life before those in error, but don't you believe for a single second that your example of a godly life convinces nor converts one in error or a sinner who has never accepted Jesus Christ as something that YOU played a part other than setting the godly example. If you do then it's for you (a me plus God religion) and is a false religious walk before God. ONLY the Spirit of God can "REPROVE" and "CONVICT" of sin, and ONLY God can forgive sin. This truth is what reveals or should reveal to the Catholic Christian, that their phony and fake confessional practices is absolute heresy before God and usurps the very Creator of the Universe.

NOW for the verses of Jesus above in Luk 21:10-19 with my emphasis in italics in brackets [ ].

Then said he [Jesus] unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, [In the Greek it's Ethnos' shall rise against Ethnos' i.e. race against race] and kingdom against kingdom: [Now it's nation against nation] And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, [This has been happening increasingly in the world since the 12th century] and famines, and pestilences; [the famines, and pestilences began to increase during the same century] and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven. [These fearful sights and great signs manifested in the mid 18th century beginning in 1755 A.D.] But before all these, [Since Jesus was speaking during His lifetime] they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my name's sake. [This was the fate of the early disciples and Apostles] And it shall turn to you for a testimony. [You and they will testify of Me] Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before what ye shall answer: For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist. [This warning applies to those disciples of Jesus who lived from the first century and to those who are living during the "Time of Trouble" and applies to the end time final Last Days] And ye shall be betrayed [SOLD OUT] both by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolks, and friends; and some of you shall they [those parents, and brethren, and kinsfolks, and friends] cause to be put to death. And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake. But there shall not an hair of your head perish. In your patience possess ye your souls.

And we have this assurance from God during the "Time of Trouble" that since Jesus is speaking to believers here proves that the "church" those who belong to Jesus Christ will go through the Time of Troble and NOT be raptured off the Earth to be spared from it which is also another modern-day lie taught to the church.

Psa 91:1-7 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust. Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler. Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day; Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday. A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee. Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.

If you're one of those who have been taught that you're going to escape the last day Time of Trouble by being RAPTURED off the Earth before Jesus returns, you've been taught a massive deceptive lie. It's NOT going to happen friend! There's no such thing as the church of God escaping the final Time of Trouble. Just as ancient Israel went through the plagues of Egypt which was a "type" of the delivery of the "antitype" of the harvest of the Earth, so too will Gods people go through the Time of Trouble. Else He would NOT have said "A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee. Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked."

MAY GOD open your eyes!
