WHY DO YOU NEED JESUS CHRIST AS YOUR LORD & SAVIOR
I wouldlike tofirstdescribe the conditionsof apersonwhoisnot saved,whohasnot acceptedThe Lord
JesusChristas theirpersonal Lord& Savior:
 No matterhowmuch moneyyouhave, Youcan have a successful lifewithall the material
thingsyoucouldask for,house,clothes,carsect
 You can have many lovers,orhave a familywithorwithoutchildren.
 You may be aroundfriends&love ones…..youcan evenbe lovedbyeveryone aroundyou.
 But deepdowninside youfeel empty,likesomethingismissing,like youare notloved,youare
not understood. Youtryto findfulfillmentinmaterial things,relationships.Alcohol,drugs,sex
ect…. Butyou still like somethingismissing,somethingisn’tright!!!!! Ihave justdescribe youif
youare honestwithyourself youknow IamRight!!!!
TheconditionIhave describediscalledyouareSpirituallyDead!!!!Youarealive,youhave a
family, you live breath & make decisions. But you are spiritually dead you may even say I
pray to God every day and he hears my prayers every day !!! This what the bible says in
Isaiah 59
Warnings against Sin
59 Listen! The LORD’s arm is not too weak to save you,
nor is his ear too deaf to hear you call.
2 It’s your sins that have cut you off from God.
Because of your sins, he has turned away
and will not listen anymore.
(Read the entire Isaiah 59)
1 Timothy 2:5-6 For there isone God and one MediatorbetweenGodandmen, the Man Christ Jesus,6
whogave Himself aransom forall,to be testifiedindue time,
Now letus beginwith a seriesofquestions& answers.
1) The first questionyou needto ask is “whois God ?”
The bible statesin 1 John 4:8
“Whoeverdoesnotlove doesnotknow God,because Godis love.”
2) Have you everasked “Whoam I?” The bible statesin the bookof Genesis1:26
ThenGod said, “Letus make mankind in our image,in our likeness,sothattheymay rule over
the fishinthe sea and the birdsinthe sky, overthe livestockandall the wildanimals,andover
all the creaturesthat move alongthe ground.”
3) So as you can see that Godsaid “Let us make mankindin our image,in our likeness” he was
speakingwithsomeone. Whowasit?
Page | 2
It states in John 1 “In the beginningwasthe Word,andthe Word was withGod,and the Word
was God. 2 He waswithGod in the beginning.3Throughhimall thingswere made;withouthim
nothingwasmade that has beenmade.4 Inhimwas life,andthatlife wasthe lightof all
mankind.5 The lightshinesinthe darkness,andthe darknesshasnotovercome it.
4) So as youcan see the Word wasGod John1: 14 The Word became fleshand made his
dwellingamongus. We have seenhis glory,the glory of the one and only Son, who came from
the Father,full of grace and truth. (The bible isspeakingabout Jesus)
5) The bible statesthat we are made inGod’simage & likeness. Thismeans that ifwe were
made in God’simage & likenessthenwe must be LOVE meaningwe are to be a vessel ofLove
treating evenyour enemieswithlove and those that offendyou …… How many timeshave
you offendedGodyethe still lovesyou whenyou come to him asking for forgivenessinthe
name of JesusChrist..
6) What is Love? The world describeslove as a feeling,Butthe bible states in
1 Corinthians13:4-8 Love ispatient, love is kind.It doesnot envy,it does not boast, it is not
proud. 5 It doesnot dishonorothers,it is not self-seeking,itisnot easilyangered,it keepsno
record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delightinevil but rejoiceswith the truth. 7 It always
protects, always trusts, always hopes,always perseveres. 8 Love neverfails. But where there
are prophecies,theywill cease;where there are tongues,they will be stilled;where there is
knowledge,itwill pass away.
1 Peter4:8 And above all thingshave ferventlove for one another, for “love will cover a
multitude ofsins.”
So based on this revelationask yourselfare you treating people inlove evenyour enemies
and the people that treat you cruel?
7) Did you know that we ALL COME FROM THE SAME BLOOD?
The bible statesin the book of Acts 17:26 “AndHe has made from one blood every nationof
men to dwell on all the face of the earth, and has determinedtheirpre-appointedtimesand
the boundariesof theirdwellings,
8) So why do you needJesusChrist as your lord & savior? In the book of Genesis 2:8-9 states
8 Nowthe Lord God hadplanteda gardeninthe east, inEden; and there he put the man he
had formed.9 The Lord God made all kindsof treesgrow out of the ground—treesthatwere
pleasingtothe eye andgoodfor food. In the middle ofthe garden were the tree of life and the
tree of the knowledge ofgood and evil.
The book of Genesis 2:15-17 states “15 The Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden
of Eden to work it and take care of it. 16 And the Lord God commanded the man, “You are free
to eat from any tree in the garden; 17 but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of
good and evil, for when you eat from it you will certainly die.”
So Eve and Adam ate from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil they did not drop dead
rightthere because whatGod wassayingis that they diedspiritually.Once God kickedthemout
of the Garden of Eden they had children and those children & everyone born after that was
born Spiritually dead. Including you !!!! This is why we feel empty like something is missing
Page | 3
9) Adam & Eve’sDisobedience causedmankindto Die spiritually. God statesin Genesis3:21-22
“The man has now become like one of us, knowinggood and evil. He must not be allowedto reach
out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever.” (MeaningallowingSINto
live foreverby eatingfrom the tree oflife, thiswhy theywere kicked out of the garden od Eden!!!)
10) The Apostle Paul wrote in Ephesians2:1
“ And you He made alive,who were dead in trespasses and in sins. “
(Thismeans whenyou accept Jesusas your Lord & Savior he giveslife to your deadspirit)
11) Jesusstated In the book of John 3:1-17 “ There wasa manof the PhariseesnamedNicodemus,
a rulerof the Jews.2 Thisman came to Jesusbynightandsaid to Him, “Rabbi,we know that You are a
teachercome from God;for no one can do these signsthatYou do unlessGodiswithhim.”
3 Jesusansweredandsaidtohim, “Mostassuredly,I say to you, unlessone is born again, he cannot
see the kingdomof God.”
4 NicodemussaidtoHim,“Howcan a man be born whenhe isold?Can he entera secondtime intohis
mother’swombandbe born?”
5 Jesusanswered, “Mostassuredly,Isay to you, unlessone is born of water and the Spirit,he cannot
enterthe kingdomof God. 6 That which is born of the fleshis flesh,and that which is born of the Spirit
is spirit.7 Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’ 8 The wind blowswhere it
wishes,and you hear the soundof it, but cannot tell where it comesfrom and where it goes.So is
everyone whois born of the Spirit.”
9 Nicodemusanswered andsaidtoHim,“How can these thingsbe?”
10 Jesusansweredandsaidtohim,“Are you the teacherof Israel,anddonot know these things?11
Most assuredly,Isayto you,We speakwhatWe know and testifywhatWe have seen,andyoudonot
receive Ourwitness.12If I have toldyou earthlythingsandyoudo notbelieve,how will youbelieveif I
tell youheavenlythings?13No one has ascendedtoheavenbutHe whocame downfromheaven,that
is,the Son of Man whois inheaven.14 Andas Moses liftedup the serpentinthe wilderness,evenso
mustthe Sonof Man be liftedup, 15 that whoeverbelievesinHimshould not perishbut have eternal
life.16 For Godso lovedthe world that He gave His only begottenSon,. 17 For God didnot send His
Son into the world to condemnthe world,but that the worldthrough Him mightbe saved.
12) Do not be deceivedbyanyone that there are multiple ways of gettinginto heaven.
1 Timothy 2:5-6 “For there isone God and one Mediator betweenGodand men,the Man
Christ Jesus,6 who gave Himselfa ransom for all,to be testifiedindue time,“
John 6:65 “And he said,Therefore saidIuntoyou, that no man can come unto me,exceptit
were givenuntohimof myFather.”
John 6:44 “No one can come to Me unlessthe FatherwhosentMe drawshim;and I will raise
himup at the last day.“
Page | 4
John 14:6 Jesussaidto him,“I am the way, the truth, and the life.Noone comes to the Father
exceptthrough Me.
13) Thiswhatour HeavenlyFatherdone forusin Colossians1: 12-14 “ and givingjoyful thankstothe
Father,whohas qualifiedyoutoshare inthe inheritance of hisholypeopleinthe kingdomof light.13
For he has rescuedus from the dominionof darknessandbroughtusintothe kingdomof the Sonhe
loves,14 inwhomwe have redemption,the forgivenessof sins. “
14) Do you want to know who is Jesus? Colossians states in Chapter 1 Verses15-20
“ The Sonis the image of the invisibleGod, the firstbornover all creation. 16 For inhimall thingswere
created: thingsinheavenandonearth,visible andinvisible,whetherthronesorpowersorrulersor
authorities;all thingshave beencreated through him and for him. 17 He isbefore all things,andinhim
all thingsholdtogether.18 Andhe is the headof the body,the church; he isthe beginningandthe
firstbornfromamongthe dead,so that ineverythinghe mighthave the supremacy.19For God was
pleasedtohave all hisfullnessdwell inhim, 20and throughhimto reconcile tohimself all things,
whetherthingsonearthor thingsinheaven,bymakingpeace throughhisblood,shedonthe cross.21
Once you were alienatedfromGodandwere enemiesin yourmindsbecauseof yourevil behavior.22
But nowhe hasreconciledyoubyChrist’sphysical bodythroughdeathtopresentyouholyinhissight,
withoutblemishandfree fromaccusation— 23if you continue in your faith, establishedandfirm,and
do not move from the hope heldout in the gospel.
15) What is the Lamb’s Book Of Life?
Revelations3:5 “He whoovercomeswill thusbe clothedinwhite garments;and I will not erase
his name from the book of life,and I will confesshisname before My Father and before His
angels.”
Revelations20: 15 “Andanyone not foundwritten in the Book of Life was cast intothe lake of
fire.”
1 Corinthians6:3-4 “Do you not know that we will judge angels? How much more the things
of thislife!”
16) No Pope, priest, Nun, man or women can forgive you of your SINS only Jesus
Matthew 28:18 And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority
has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.
Mark 2:10 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to
forgive sins, (he saith to the sick of the palsy,)
Page | 5
Life and Judgment Are Through the Son
John 5: 24-30 “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in
Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has
passed from death into life. 25 Most assuredly, I say to you, the hour is coming, and
now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God; and those who hear will
live. 26 For as the Father has life in Himself, so He has granted the Son to have life in
Himself, 27 and has given Him authority to execute judgment also, because He is the
Son of Man. 28 Do not marvel at this; for the hour is coming in which all who are in
the graves will hear His voice 29 and come forth—those who have done good, to the
resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of
condemnation. 30 I can of Myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge; and My judgment is
righteous, because I do not seek My own will but the will of the Father who sent Me.
What Jesus is saying” when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God; and those
who hear will live.” People are spiritually dead and you are receiving this today it’s
because, John 6:65 “And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come
unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father.”
Serving God is not about a religion it’s about a relationship.
(Research false religions you’ll be surprised in what you’ll find)
Leviticus 20:26 And ye shall be holy unto me: for I the LORD am holy, and have
severed you from other people, that ye should be mine.
1 Peter 1:16 because it is written, "YOU SHALL BE HOLY, FOR I AM HOLY."
Acts 17:24 The God who made the world and everything in it, being Lord of heaven
and earth, does not live in temples made by man,
Acts 7:48 "However, the Most High does not live in houses made by human
hands. As the prophet says:
The following verses is stating that the church is not a building it is you!!!!!!
1 Peter 2:5 you yourselves like living stones are being built up as a spiritual house,
to be a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus
Christ.
Ephesians 1:22-23 And he put all things under his feet and gave him as head over all
things to the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all.
Page | 6
1 Corinthians 6:19 Don’t you realize that your body is the temple of the Holy
Spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourself,
Acts 17:24 The God who made the world and everything in it, being Lord of heaven
and earth, does not live in temples made by man,
Acts 2:17-21
17
‘Anditshall come to passin the lastdays,says God, That I will pouroutof My Spiritonall
flesh;Yoursonsand yourdaughtersshall prophesy, Youryoungmenshall see visions,
Your oldmenshall dreamdreams. 18
AndonMy menservants andonMy maidservants
I will pour out My Spiritin those days; And theyshall prophesy. 19
I will show wondersin
heavenabove And signsin the earth beneath:Blood and fire and vapor of smoke. 20
The sun
shall be turned intodarkness, And the mooninto blood, Before the coming of the great and
awesome day of the LORD. 21
Andit shall come to pass That whoevercalls on the name of the
LORD Shall be saved.
NOW Go to Youtube and type in Propheticdreams, visions2014
you’ll see many people from all walks of life having encounters,dreams& visions encounters
with Jesus
How does one be born again? The bible states in Romans 10:9
9 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.
And finally
John 4:22 You worship what you do not know; we know what
we worship, for salvation is of the Jews.
Jesus was Jewish, Israel is God’s chosen people.

WHY DO YOU 2-3

  • 1. Page | 1 WHY DO YOU NEED JESUS CHRIST AS YOUR LORD & SAVIOR I wouldlike tofirstdescribe the conditionsof apersonwhoisnot saved,whohasnot acceptedThe Lord JesusChristas theirpersonal Lord& Savior:  No matterhowmuch moneyyouhave, Youcan have a successful lifewithall the material thingsyoucouldask for,house,clothes,carsect  You can have many lovers,orhave a familywithorwithoutchildren.  You may be aroundfriends&love ones…..youcan evenbe lovedbyeveryone aroundyou.  But deepdowninside youfeel empty,likesomethingismissing,like youare notloved,youare not understood. Youtryto findfulfillmentinmaterial things,relationships.Alcohol,drugs,sex ect…. Butyou still like somethingismissing,somethingisn’tright!!!!! Ihave justdescribe youif youare honestwithyourself youknow IamRight!!!! TheconditionIhave describediscalledyouareSpirituallyDead!!!!Youarealive,youhave a family, you live breath & make decisions. But you are spiritually dead you may even say I pray to God every day and he hears my prayers every day !!! This what the bible says in Isaiah 59 Warnings against Sin 59 Listen! The LORD’s arm is not too weak to save you, nor is his ear too deaf to hear you call. 2 It’s your sins that have cut you off from God. Because of your sins, he has turned away and will not listen anymore. (Read the entire Isaiah 59) 1 Timothy 2:5-6 For there isone God and one MediatorbetweenGodandmen, the Man Christ Jesus,6 whogave Himself aransom forall,to be testifiedindue time, Now letus beginwith a seriesofquestions& answers. 1) The first questionyou needto ask is “whois God ?” The bible statesin 1 John 4:8 “Whoeverdoesnotlove doesnotknow God,because Godis love.” 2) Have you everasked “Whoam I?” The bible statesin the bookof Genesis1:26 ThenGod said, “Letus make mankind in our image,in our likeness,sothattheymay rule over the fishinthe sea and the birdsinthe sky, overthe livestockandall the wildanimals,andover all the creaturesthat move alongthe ground.” 3) So as you can see that Godsaid “Let us make mankindin our image,in our likeness” he was speakingwithsomeone. Whowasit?
  • 2. Page | 2 It states in John 1 “In the beginningwasthe Word,andthe Word was withGod,and the Word was God. 2 He waswithGod in the beginning.3Throughhimall thingswere made;withouthim nothingwasmade that has beenmade.4 Inhimwas life,andthatlife wasthe lightof all mankind.5 The lightshinesinthe darkness,andthe darknesshasnotovercome it. 4) So as youcan see the Word wasGod John1: 14 The Word became fleshand made his dwellingamongus. We have seenhis glory,the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father,full of grace and truth. (The bible isspeakingabout Jesus) 5) The bible statesthat we are made inGod’simage & likeness. Thismeans that ifwe were made in God’simage & likenessthenwe must be LOVE meaningwe are to be a vessel ofLove treating evenyour enemieswithlove and those that offendyou …… How many timeshave you offendedGodyethe still lovesyou whenyou come to him asking for forgivenessinthe name of JesusChrist.. 6) What is Love? The world describeslove as a feeling,Butthe bible states in 1 Corinthians13:4-8 Love ispatient, love is kind.It doesnot envy,it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It doesnot dishonorothers,it is not self-seeking,itisnot easilyangered,it keepsno record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delightinevil but rejoiceswith the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes,always perseveres. 8 Love neverfails. But where there are prophecies,theywill cease;where there are tongues,they will be stilled;where there is knowledge,itwill pass away. 1 Peter4:8 And above all thingshave ferventlove for one another, for “love will cover a multitude ofsins.” So based on this revelationask yourselfare you treating people inlove evenyour enemies and the people that treat you cruel? 7) Did you know that we ALL COME FROM THE SAME BLOOD? The bible statesin the book of Acts 17:26 “AndHe has made from one blood every nationof men to dwell on all the face of the earth, and has determinedtheirpre-appointedtimesand the boundariesof theirdwellings, 8) So why do you needJesusChrist as your lord & savior? In the book of Genesis 2:8-9 states 8 Nowthe Lord God hadplanteda gardeninthe east, inEden; and there he put the man he had formed.9 The Lord God made all kindsof treesgrow out of the ground—treesthatwere pleasingtothe eye andgoodfor food. In the middle ofthe garden were the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge ofgood and evil. The book of Genesis 2:15-17 states “15 The Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it. 16 And the Lord God commanded the man, “You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; 17 but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat from it you will certainly die.” So Eve and Adam ate from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil they did not drop dead rightthere because whatGod wassayingis that they diedspiritually.Once God kickedthemout of the Garden of Eden they had children and those children & everyone born after that was born Spiritually dead. Including you !!!! This is why we feel empty like something is missing

He must not be allowedto reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever.” (MeaningallowingSINto live foreverby eatingfrom the tree oflife, thiswhy theywere kicked out of the garden od Eden!!!) 10) The Apostle Paul wrote in Ephesians2:1 “ And you He made alive,who were dead in trespasses and in sins. “ (Thismeans whenyou accept Jesusas your Lord & Savior he giveslife to your deadspirit) 11) Jesusstated In the book of John 3:1-17 “ There wasa manof the PhariseesnamedNicodemus, a rulerof the Jews.2 Thisman came to Jesusbynightandsaid to Him, “Rabbi,we know that You are a teachercome from God;for no one can do these signsthatYou do unlessGodiswithhim.” 3 Jesusansweredandsaidtohim, “Mostassuredly,I say to you, unlessone is born again, he cannot see the kingdomof God.” 4 NicodemussaidtoHim,“Howcan a man be born whenhe isold?Can he entera secondtime intohis mother’swombandbe born?” 5 Jesusanswered, “Mostassuredly,Isay to you, unlessone is born of water and the Spirit,he cannot enterthe kingdomof God. 6 That which is born of the fleshis flesh,and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.7 Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’ 8 The wind blowswhere it wishes,and you hear the soundof it, but cannot tell where it comesfrom and where it goes.So is everyone whois born of the Spirit.” 9 Nicodemusanswered andsaidtoHim,“How can these thingsbe?” 10 Jesusansweredandsaidtohim,“Are you the teacherof Israel,anddonot know these things?11 Most assuredly,Isayto you,We speakwhatWe know and testifywhatWe have seen,andyoudonot receive Ourwitness.12If I have toldyou earthlythingsandyoudo notbelieve,how will youbelieveif I tell youheavenlythings?13No one has ascendedtoheavenbutHe whocame downfromheaven,that is,the Son of Man whois inheaven.14 Andas Moses liftedup the serpentinthe wilderness,evenso mustthe Sonof Man be liftedup, 15 that whoeverbelievesinHimshould not perishbut have eternal life.16 For Godso lovedthe world that He gave His only begottenSon,. 17 For God didnot send His Son into the world to condemnthe world,but that the worldthrough Him mightbe saved. 12) Do not be deceivedbyanyone that there are multiple ways of gettinginto heaven. 1 Timothy 2:5-6 “For there isone God and one Mediator betweenGodand men,the Man Christ Jesus,6 who gave Himselfa ransom for all,to be testifiedindue time,“ John 6:65 “And he said,Therefore saidIuntoyou, that no man can come unto me,exceptit were givenuntohimof myFather.” John 6:44 “No one can come to Me unlessthe FatherwhosentMe drawshim;and I will raise himup at the last day.“

Colossians states in Chapter 1 Verses15-20 “ The Sonis the image of the invisibleGod, the firstbornover all creation. 16 For inhimall thingswere created: thingsinheavenandonearth,visible andinvisible,whetherthronesorpowersorrulersor authorities;all thingshave beencreated through him and for him. 17 He isbefore all things,andinhim all thingsholdtogether.18 Andhe is the headof the body,the church; he isthe beginningandthe firstbornfromamongthe dead,so that ineverythinghe mighthave the supremacy.19For God was pleasedtohave all hisfullnessdwell inhim, 20and throughhimto reconcile tohimself all things, whetherthingsonearthor thingsinheaven,bymakingpeace throughhisblood,shedonthe cross.21 Once you were alienatedfromGodandwere enemiesin yourmindsbecauseof yourevil behavior.22 But nowhe hasreconciledyoubyChrist’sphysical bodythroughdeathtopresentyouholyinhissight, withoutblemishandfree fromaccusation— 23if you continue in your faith, establishedandfirm,and do not move from the hope heldout in the gospel. 15) What is the Lamb’s Book Of Life? Revelations3:5 “He whoovercomeswill thusbe clothedinwhite garments;and I will not erase his name from the book of life,and I will confesshisname before My Father and before His angels.” Revelations20: 15 “Andanyone not foundwritten in the Book of Life was cast intothe lake of fire.” 1 Corinthians6:3-4 “Do you not know that we will judge angels? How much more the things of thislife!” 16) No Pope, priest, Nun, man or women can forgive you of your SINS only Jesus Matthew 28:18 And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Mark 2:10 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (he saith to the sick of the palsy,)

Page | 5 Life and Judgment Are Through the Son John 5: 24-30 “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life. 25 Most assuredly, I say to you, the hour is coming, and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God; and those who hear will live. 26 For as the Father has life in Himself, so He has granted the Son to have life in Himself, 27 and has given Him authority to execute judgment also, because He is the Son of Man. 28 Do not marvel at this; for the hour is coming in which all who are in the graves will hear His voice 29 and come forth—those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of condemnation. 30 I can of Myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge; and My judgment is righteous, because I do not seek My own will but the will of the Father who sent Me. What Jesus is saying” when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God; and those who hear will live.” People are spiritually dead and you are receiving this today it’s because, John 6:65 “And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father.” Serving God is not about a religion it’s about a relationship. (Research false religions you’ll be surprised in what you’ll find) Leviticus 20:26 And ye shall be holy unto me: for I the LORD am holy, and have severed you from other people, that ye should be mine. 1 Peter 1:16 because it is written, "YOU SHALL BE HOLY, FOR I AM HOLY." Acts 17:24 The God who made the world and everything in it, being Lord of heaven and earth, does not live in temples made by man, Acts 7:48 "However, the Most High does not live in houses made by human hands. As the prophet says: The following verses is stating that the church is not a building it is you!!!!!! 1 Peter 2:5 you yourselves like living stones are being built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. Ephesians 1:22-23 And he put all things under his feet and gave him as head over all things to the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all.

You do not belong to yourself, Acts 17:24 The God who made the world and everything in it, being Lord of heaven and earth, does not live in temples made by man, Acts 2:17-21 17 ‘Anditshall come to passin the lastdays,says God, That I will pouroutof My Spiritonall flesh;Yoursonsand yourdaughtersshall prophesy, Youryoungmenshall see visions, Your oldmenshall dreamdreams. 18 AndonMy menservants andonMy maidservants I will pour out My Spiritin those days; And theyshall prophesy. 19 I will show wondersin heavenabove And signsin the earth beneath:Blood and fire and vapor of smoke. 20 The sun shall be turned intodarkness, And the mooninto blood, Before the coming of the great and awesome day of the LORD. 21 Andit shall come to pass That whoevercalls on the name of the LORD Shall be saved. NOW Go to Youtube and type in Propheticdreams, visions2014 you’ll see many people from all walks of life having encounters,dreams& visions encounters with Jesus How does one be born again? The bible states in Romans 10:9 9 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. And finally John 4:22 You worship what you do not know; we know what we worship, for salvation is of the Jews. Jesus was Jewish, Israel is God’s chosen people.
