WHAT DOES JESUS WANT FROM US, REALLY?


Well, for one thing, start by watching these clips of Larry Norman, where he shares his heart on some particularly important issues. See if his words can encourage you to want to help someone, because that's obviously very important to Jesus.





Well? What do you think? I've seen this before, and it struck my heart with fear that I was one who would be asked: "Did you feed Me? Did you clothe me? Did you help me when I was sick?", and so on, and not having done that..

Now there's another opportunity coming your way to help someone completely helpless.
You see, people; I was on a trip to Thailand exactly ten years ago, and there I saw beggars and poor people everywhere.. I eased my conscience and lightened my wallet a little, but for these people, just a few Bath is enough to accomplish much.

A few Bath, enough to install a sink with running, fresh water in Thailand, is the same amount of money that we spend in a day to pay for parking-space for the car while we're shopping. It's what the materials for a pig-pen cost. It pays for a blackboard and chalk, paper and pencils.. Well, you know what I mean.

Some friends of mine that I grew up with are actually now living in Thailand, and the poverty down there actually has started their hearts bleeding. Heavily.

There's orphans without a home, because there aren't enough money to take them in, like this little boy suffers under..



There's orphanages for children with their parents dead from AIDS, and they've passed it on to their children. Guess who made the AIDS spread down there? If not you personally, it could have been, if you see my point.



This little boy has got HIV in his blood.. Do you want to help him?

In short: You can't imagine how they suffer, until you see it with your own eyes..

SO MY FRIENDS HAVE FORGED A PLAN, AND WE'RE AT IT..

The plan is to set up a site where you can go and donate a little money, simply by charging your PayPal account. Maybe more options will be added later. We've decided on sponsoring and drifting the site ourselves, and everything that goes into the PayPal account will be used exclusively for helping people that receive no government support or any other sponsoring from other institutions what so ever.

NOTHING WILL BE USED FOR DRIFTING THE SITE OR EVEN FOR AS MUCH AS A BUS-TICKET OR A PEPSI, ONLY FOR GETTING THE HELP WHERE IT'S SUPPOSED TO GET: THE CHILDREN.

It'll ALL go to what you donate for.

My friends live down there, and will personally supervise it, make sure that the money goes to the children. Not just for food, but for making it possible to live under circumstances that make them able to sustain their own existence. You know: "Give a man a fish, and he has food for the day. Teach him how to fish, and he has food every day".

There are many people involved in making this a reality, from all over the world. I want to mention "Doc" from one corner of the world to "RaJah" in another corner, who have been and will be working to make the technical bit working; server/domain and web-design + being the good friends they are, and helping to encourage and support and correct. Not to mention the "ground-crew" in Thailand of course, who had the idea in the first place, and will do the actual pulling when the tech-bit is ready so you can become "PayPals". You have got the power to make this a reality, people!

We will set up this site in a while, and I'll put a link to it in this blog. The site will be simple at first, but then one day, we'll see other pictures and new videos coming onto the site, as the work progress, and my guess is that the images will shift from being like those above, and becoming more like this one..



By the grace of God, and your two cents..

Chosen To Bear Fruit

I received this from David Wilkerson today, and I found it to be so true and essential and all-in-one-package-great [as usual is with David Wilkerson], like a key that opens up the understanding and hope starts to sprout.. Paul writes in 1. Corinthians 13, v.6: "[Love]..does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth.".

Well, my heart rejoiced when I read the following, to such a degree that tears started flooding my eyes.
I therefore forward it to those who read my blog.

You can subscribe to Wilkerson's Daily Devotions for free. Just follow this link:


Now here's the text:

Chosen to bear fruit.

“Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit” (John 15:16).
 


Many sincere Christians think bearing fruit means simply to bring souls to Christ. But to bear fruit means something much larger even than soulwinning.
 


The fruit Jesus is talking about is Christ-likeness. Simply put, bearing fruit means reflecting the likeness of Jesus. And the phrase “much fruit” means “the ever-increasing likeness of Christ.”
 


Growing more and more into Jesus’ likeness is our core purpose in life. It has to be central to all our activities, our lifestyle, our relationships. Indeed, all our gifts and callings—our work, ministry and witness—must flow out of this core purpose.
 


If I am not Christlike at heart—if I’m not becoming noticeably more like him—I have missed God’s purpose in my life.


You see, God’s purpose for me can’t be fulfilled by what I do for Christ. It can’t be measured by anything I achieve even if I heal the sick or cast out demons. No, God’s purpose is fulfilled in me only by what I am becoming in him. Christ-likeness isn’t about what I do for the Lord, but about how I’m being transformed into his likeness.
 


Go into a Christian bookstore and read the titles on the shelves. Most are self-help books on how to overcome loneliness, how to survive depression, how to find fulfillment. Why is this? It’s because we have it all wrong. We aren’t called to be successes, to be free of all trouble, to be special, to “make it.” No, we are missing the one calling, the one focus, that’s meant to be central to our lives, to become fruitful in the likeness of Christ.

 

Jesus was totally given to the Father and that was everything to him. He stated, “I don’t do or say anything except what my Father tells me.”

 


So, do you want to bear the “much fruit” that springs forth from becoming more like Christ? We fulfill our life’s purpose only as we begin to love others as Christ has loved us. And we grow more Christ-like as our love for others increases.

 


“As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love” (John 15:9). His command is clear and simple: “Go and love others. Give to others the unconditional love I have shown you.” We grow more Christlike as our love for others increases. Simply put, bearing fruit comes down to how we treat people."


David Wilkerson.

So. Is David Wilkerson a man of God, or is he not?
He doesn't sound like for instance Benny Hinn, so.. One of them must be wrong somehow..
What do you think..?
