Repent and Believe the Gospel!



REPENT AND BELIEVE THE GOSPEL!
Jesus said,"The time is fullfilled and the Kingdom of God is at hand, repent and believe the Gospel"
The Gospel is that the Word of God became a man; Jesus, the only begotten of the Father, the Son of God, full of grace and truth, and lived in this world with every temptation that you and I face, and yet He never sinned and He gave himself to die on the cross and shed His blood for our sins. God made Him who knew no sin to become sin on our behalf that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. He was buried in a tomb, and on the third day the Father raised Him from the dead. He was seen of above 500 witnesses after He arose and He ascended to the right hand of the Father in heaven. He is there right now, alive, making intercession on our behalf to the Father. He is coming again with all the saints and all the angels in great power and glory and all who live and believe in him will be united with him and thus will we ever be with the Lord. I urge you to seek Him now, during this time while the long suffering of God is waiting, for the Day of the Lord is coming soon. He loves you and He will save you to the utter most if you will put your trust in Him.

 Hell Is Real


Greetings in the name of Jesus! This is Rob Haymes. This is 15 Minutes With Jesus. Wherever two or three are gathered together in My name, Jesus said, there am I in the midst of them. To those of you who love Him in truth: mercy unto you and peace and love be multiplied.


My Heavenly Father spoke through me this prophecy as I started the program:


I am God Almighty. Those of you listening to My servant Rob this day: open your hearts; open your minds; give heed to My Words that I have given him to speak to you. Attend to My Words and live, says the Lord.


Father, we just want to thank you right now; we thank you for this program. Thank you for your introduction. I pray that you would bless everyone reading this, and grant them grace to do what you just said: to give heed to your Words.  Today’s program is called Hell Is Real. Jesus spoke very clearly about Hell. Let’s turn to Mark 9:43, Jesus said, If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life maimed, rather than having two hands, to go to hell, into the fire that shall never be quenched—where their worm does not die and the fire is not quenched. And if your foot causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life lame, rather than having two feet, to be cast into hell, into the fire that shall never be quenched—where their worm does not die and the fire is not quenched. And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out. It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye, rather than having two eyes, to be cast into hell fire—where their worm does not die and the fire is not quenched. For everyone will be seasoned with fire, and every sacrifice will be seasoned with salt. Salt is good, but if the salt loses its flavor, how will you season it? Have salt in yourselves, and have peace with one another. Jesus was not saying that if you cut off your foot you will escape Hell. He was showing us how serious this is; how real it is. Hell is real. There are people there right now in total anguish, where the fire is not quenched and the worm does not die. They are in extreme pain and suffering, and they will be there until the day of judgment, when all the dead will be resurrected and will stand before Jesus and give an account for their life. Jesus is not only our Savior, but He is our judge as well. In that day He will sit upon His throne and He will judge every man, and everyone whose name is not written in the Lamb’s Book of Life will be cast into the Lake that burns with fire and brimstone, to be tormented day and night, with no rest, forever and ever. 


Let’s turn to Rev 20:11, Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat on it, from whose face the Earth and the Heaven fled away. And there was found no place for them. 

And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books. The sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hell delivered up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one according to his works. Then Death and Hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whoever was not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire. Rev 21:1, Now I saw a new Heaven and a new Earth, for the first Heaven and the first Earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea. Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of Heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from Heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away. Then He who sat on the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And He said to me, Write, for these words are true and faithful. And He said to me, It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirsts. He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son. But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death. Rom 11:22, Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on those who fell, severity; but toward you, goodness, if you continue in His goodness. Otherwise you also will be cut off. 


God is making a holy people to dwell with Him forever in His glorious Kingdom, through the sacrifice of His Son and the work of the Word of God by the Holy Spirit in their lives. Don’t believe the false prophets who are promising you that all is well: your sins are covered; sin is not imputed to you. Sin is not imputed where there is no law. Jesus said, Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. For assuredly, I say to you, till Heaven and Earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled. If you are truly being led by the Holy Spirit you are not under the law: you are doing His commandments-the Words of Jesus; you are loving Him; pleasing Him, and following Him to do the Father’s will. If you are doing your own will, you are under the law; you are in iniquity, and Jesus will say to you in that Day, Depart from Me, I never knew you, you who work iniquity. He loves you so much that He gave Himself upon the Cross to bear all your sins; to take the full punishment for them: to die and shed His Blood, that you might be delivered from all sin and unrighteousness; that you might be made righteous in Him, through faith in His sacrifice and resurrection from the dead; crucified with Jesus, and raised with Him to walk in newness of life; to walk in the Holy Spirit and the Word of God, doing good. If you love evil; if you won’t give it up: your selfish pleasures; your lying and your deceit; your manipulations, it won’t matter in that Day how much you say, Lord, Lord.  


Hell is real! Heb 10:26, For if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and fiery indignation which will devour the adversaries. Anyone who has rejected Moses' law dies without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. 

Of how much worse punishment, do you suppose, will he be thought worthy who has trampled the Son of God underfoot, counted the Blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified a common thing, and insulted the Spirit of grace? For we know Him who said, Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord. And again, The Lord will judge His people. It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. 


Mat 25:31, Jesus said, When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then He will sit on the throne of His glory. All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats. And He will set the sheep on His right hand, but the goats on the left. Then the King will say to those on His right hand, Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in; I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me. Then the righteous will answer Him, saying, Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You drink?  By the way, these are Christians. These are people that are righteous through faith in the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, and they are calling Him Lord. These are Christians, and they are in the same judgment with the unrighteous.  Lord, when did we see You a stranger and take You in, or naked and clothe You? Or when did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You? And the King will answer and say to them, Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me. Then He will also say to those on the left hand, Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels: for I was hungry and you gave Me no food; I was thirsty and you gave Me no drink; I was a stranger and you did not take Me in, naked and you did not clothe Me, sick and in prison and you did not visit Me. Then they also will answer Him, saying, Lord, when did we see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to You? Then He will answer them, saying, Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me. And these will go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into eternal life. 


We are without excuse! After God has loved you so much that He sent His Son: His only begotten Son, to suffer so much and die for you; after He has loved you so much: to lay down His life for you, and you know it, and still you harden your heart against Him to trample Him under your feet, and count His precious Blood that He shed for your sins an unholy thing, for what?, a little money?, a little pleasure?, a little fame?, 

REPENT!   REPENT! Fall on your face before him now and cry out for mercy, before it’s too late! There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth in that day. Where will you be? Where are you going? 


Luke 13:23, Then one said to Him, Lord, are there few who are saved? And He said to them, Strive to enter through the narrow gate, for many, I say to you, will seek to enter and will not be able. When once the Master of the house has risen up and shut the door, and you begin to stand outside and knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open for us, and He will answer and say to you, I do not know you, where you are from, then you will begin to say, We ate and drank in Your presence, and You taught in our streets. But He will say, I tell you I do not know you, where you are from. Depart from Me, all you workers of iniquity. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when you see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, and yourselves thrust out. They will come from the east and the west, from the north and the south, and sit down in the Kingdom of God. And indeed there are last who will be first, and there are first who will be last. Jesus said, Fear not them which kill the body, but after, are not able to kill the soul, but rather, fear Him, which after He kills, is able to destroy both soul and body in Hell. Hell is real. 


Thank you for reading this message from 15 Minutes With Jesus at roberthaymes.com . May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with all of you who love Him in truth, Amen.

 The Kingdom of God’s Dear Son


Greetings in the name of Jesus! This is Rob Haymes. This is 15 Minutes with Jesus. Wherever two or three are gathered together in My name, Jesus said, there am I in the midst of them. To those of you who love Him in truth: mercy unto you and peace and love be multiplied. (Jude 1:2)


Interpretation of a message in tongues:


I am God Almighty! My Kingdom is coming! My people, hearken diligently to My servant Rob this day. Understand: My Kingdom is coming! The kingdoms of this world shall be destroyed, and I will establish My Kingdom: the Kingdom of My Son, in Jerusalem and over all the Earth. So look up now; look unto Me and prepare yourself, says the Lord. Prepare to enter My Kingdom, this day, says the Lord. Hallelujah! Thank you Lord, Hallelujah!


This program is called, The Kingdom of God’s Dear Son. Let’s turn to Mark 1:14, Now after John was put in prison, Jesus came to Galilee, preaching the gospel of the Kingdom of God, and saying, "The time is fulfilled, and the Kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the gospel." Jesus is the way into the Kingdom of God. In John 14:6, He said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” Notice: Mark wrote that Jesus came into Galilee preaching the Gospel of the Kingdom of God: the good news of God’s Kingdom, wherein dwells righteousness. Only the righteous enter into His Kingdom. The Apostle John wrote, Little children, let no man deceive you, he that does righteousness is righteous, even as He is righteous; he that practices sin is of the devil. Jesus said, Repent of your sins and believe the Gospel, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand! Believe the good news of what God has done. 

He loved us so much that He gave His only beloved Son upon the Cross at Calvary, to suffer and die for our sins; to wash us from our sins in His own Blood, and He raised Him from the dead to justify us from all our iniquities, that everyone who hears this report and repents of their sins and believes this good news may be saved from the wrath of God to come, and may inherit eternal life in Him and enter into the glorious Kingdom of God. 


If we believe the Gospel: what Jesus did for us, that is imputed to us for righteousness; we are righteous by faith in Him, and we are baptized in water: baptized into His death, and raised with Him. Our old sinful nature is dead, and we then can be baptized in the Holy Spirit and go on with Jesus, denying ourselves and yielding to Him to follow Him every day, taking up our cross: the crucifixion of our flesh and our fleshly ways, and serve Him in the newness of the Spirit, as He leads us to do the Father’s will. Thus we are righteous, and we are in the Kingdom of God’s dear Son. He has delivered us from the power of darkness and has translated us into the Kingdom of His Dear Son, in whom we have redemption through His Blood: the forgiveness of sins. 


This is not a religion! Do you understand? This is a kingdom: the Kingdom of God’s Dear Son, who loved us and gave Himself for us, that we might be made kings and priests in His Kingdom, to serve Him forever in His glory. His Kingdom is not of this world. When Jesus stood before Pilate, Pilate said to Him, “Are you the King of the Jews?” Jesus answered him, “Are you speaking for yourself about this, or did others tell you this concerning Me?” Pilate answered, ”Am I a Jew? Your own nation and the chief priests have delivered you to me. What have you done?” Jesus answered, “My Kingdom is not of this world. If My Kingdom were of this  world, My servants would fight so that I should not be delivered to the Jews. But now My Kingdom is not from here.” Pilate therefore said to Him, “Are you a king then?” Jesus answered, “You say rightly that I am a King. For this cause I was born, and for this cause I have come to the world: that I should bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice.” Those that are of the truth hear Jesus’ voice. They believe His Words, and they shall enter into His Kingdom.


Let’s go to Luke 11:1, Now it came to pass, as He was praying in a certain place, when He ceased, that one of His disciples said to Him, "Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples." So He said to them, "When you pray, say: Our Father in Heaven, Hallowed be Your name. Your Kingdom come; Your will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven. Give us day by day our daily bread. And forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who is indebted to us. And do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one." Jesus taught us to pray for God’s Kingdom to come on Earth as it is in Heaven. The Kingdom of God is within all of us who truly believe in Jesus, our great King. But the day is coming; the day is soon coming, when Jesus will return to this Earth in His glory and power; He will establish His throne and He will rule over all the Earth from Jerusalem for a thousand years. And those of us who are truly His will be reigning with Him as kings and priests, helping Him to put all His enemies under His feet.


Isa 9:6, For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given; and the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the increase of His government and peace there will be no end, upon the throne of David and over His Kingdom, to order it and establish it with judgment and justice from that time forward, even forever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this. This prophecy of Isaiah has already been partially fulfilled when Jesus was born the Son of God. But it will soon be completely fulfilled when He returns to establish His Kingdom and rule on the Earth, and He shall bear the glory. Zec 6:12  Then speak to him, saying, 'Thus says the Lord of hosts, saying: "Behold, the Man whose name is the Branch!  From His place He shall branch out, and He shall build the Temple of the Lord; yes, He shall build the Temple of the Lord. He shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule on His throne; so He shall be a priest on His throne, and the counsel of peace shall be between them both.”


If you have confessed Jesus as your Lord and believed that He rose from the dead, you have been saved. How are you walking now? Do you truly understand that you have been bought with the precious price of His shed Blood from your slavery to sin and the devil, and you are not your own, but you are His slave? Are you denying yourself and taking up your cross every day and following Him to do the Father’s will every day? Jesus said very clearly in Matthew 7, “Not everyone who says to Me ‘Lord, Lord’, shall enter the Kingdom of Heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in Heaven.” As I said previously, this is not a religion; this is a Kingdom. We have a King, and He has absolute authority over us. He loves us, and He saved us by the sacrifice of Himself. Not everyone who says, “Lord, Lord”, but they that do the will of His Father: they are the righteous; they are going into the Kingdom of God. Those who practice sin and will not repent will be destroyed. God’s Kingdom, in which only righteousness dwells, is coming to the Earth. Are you preparing yourself?


2 Peter 1:2,  Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord, as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue, by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge, to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, to perseverance godliness, to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love. For if these things are yours and abound, you will be neither barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. For he who lacks these things is shortsighted, even to blindness, and has forgotten that he was cleansed from his old sins. Therefore, brethren, be even more diligent to make your call and election sure, for if you do these things you will never stumble; for so an entrance will be supplied to you abundantly into the everlasting Kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. 


Let’s turn to Daniel chapter 2. King Nebuchadnezzar had a dream, and Daniel came to give him the interpretation. Verse 31, "You, O king, were watching; and behold, a great image! This great image, whose splendor was excellent, stood before you; and its form was awesome. This image's head was of fine gold, its chest and arms of silver, its belly and thighs of bronze, its legs of iron, its feet partly of iron and partly of clay. You watched while a stone was cut out without hands, which struck the image on its feet of iron and clay, and broke them in pieces. Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver, and the gold were crushed together, and became like chaff from the summer threshing floors; the wind carried them away so that no trace of them was found. And the stone that struck the image became a great mountain and filled the whole Earth. 


This is the dream. Now we will tell the interpretation of it before the king. You, O king, are a king of kings. For the God of Heaven has given you a kingdom, power, strength, and glory; and wherever the children of men dwell, or the beasts of the field and the birds of the heaven, He has given them into your hand, and has made you ruler over them all—you are this head of gold. But after you shall arise another kingdom inferior to yours; then another, a third kingdom of bronze, which shall rule over all the Earth. 

And the fourth kingdom shall be as strong as iron, inasmuch as iron breaks in pieces and shatters everything; and like iron that crushes, that kingdom will break in pieces and crush all the others. Whereas you saw the feet and toes, partly of potter's clay and partly of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; yet the strength of the iron shall be in it, just as you saw the iron mixed with ceramic clay. And as the toes of the feet were partly of iron and partly of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong and partly fragile. 

As you saw iron mixed with ceramic clay, they will mingle with the seed of men; but they will not adhere to one another, just as iron does not mix with clay. And in the days of these kings the God of Heaven will set up a Kingdom which shall never be destroyed; and the Kingdom shall not be left to other people; it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand forever. Inasmuch as you saw that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it broke in pieces the iron, the bronze, the clay, the silver, and the gold—the great God has made known to the king what will come to pass after this. The dream is certain, and its interpretation is sure." This Kingdom that will stand forever is clearly the Kingdom of God’s Dear Son, Jesus Christ.


Mark 11:7, Then they brought the colt to Jesus and threw their clothes on it, and He sat on it. And many spread their clothes on the road, and others cut down leafy branches from the trees and spread them on the road. Then those who went before and those who followed cried out, saying: "Hosanna! 'Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!

Blessed is the Kingdom of our father David that comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!"

 This Is The Sum


Greetings in the name of Jesus! This is Rob Haymes. This is 15 Minutes With Jesus. Wherever two or three are gathered together in My name, Jesus said, there am I in the midst of them. To those of you who love Him in truth: mercy unto you and peace and love be multiplied. (Jude 1:2)


Thank you Lord; we thank you Father for this day! Praise the name of the living God, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob!  


Today’s program is called, This Is The Sum. In Heb 8:1, the Apostle Paul wrote, Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum… Today we’re going to speak about some of the main things that God has had me speaking in these programs for almost five years. Acts 17:28, Paul said, “For in Him we live and move and have our being, as also some of your own poets have said, 'For we are also His offspring.' Therefore, since we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Divine Nature is like gold or silver or stone, something shaped by art and man's devising. Truly, these times of ignorance God overlooked, but now commands all men everywhere to repent, because He has appointed a day on which He will judge the world in righteousness by the Man whom He has ordained. He has given assurance of this to all by raising Him from the dead."  The main thing that I have been speaking about is the love of God.


Let’s turn to John 3:14, Jesus was speaking to Nicodemus, and He said, “And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God."


God has appointed a day; it is coming, in which He is going to judge every man by that man whom He has appointed: Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who loved us and washed us from our sins in His own Blood. Greater love, Jesus said, has no man than this: that a man lay down his life for his friends. Jesus lived a perfect, sinless life, doing good and healing all who were oppressed of the devil. He was tempted, just as we are, in every way, yet He never sinned. He is the spotless Lamb of God who was offered upon the Cross for all of our sins, that all who will believe in Him, and in His atoning sacrifice for them, and His resurrection from the dead, and confess Him as Lord, they shall be saved. Because He loved us so much: that He would go to the Cross for us, and suffer so much, as all of our sins were laid upon Him, we also ought to love Him. We love Him because He first loved us. The Father saw the travail of His soul and He was satisfied for all those who would believe this report, that through repentance and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ we might be saved from the wrath of God and the Day of His Wrath; the day of His judgment, wherein every man and woman will receive the due reward of their deeds. 


Let’s turn to 1 John 1:1-10. I’ve quoted these verses many times; this is one of the main things that I have been speaking about; that God has had me speak. By the way, I have not been speaking my own words, as God Himself has attested to several times through prophecy or tongues and interpretation on the programs. These are words that God has given me by His Holy Spirit to speak to you: He sent me to speak to you. 1 John 1:1,  That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, concerning the Word of life—the life was manifested, and we have seen, and bear witness, and declare to you that eternal life which was with the Father and was manifested to us—that which we have seen and heard we declare to you, that you also may have fellowship with us; and truly our fellowship is with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ. And these things we write to you that your joy may be full. This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all. If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin. If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His Word is not in us. We see right here: the Blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin, when we walk in the light; when we confess our sins.


I’ve also been speaking a lot about the Holy Spirit. Let’s turn to Rom 8:1, There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death. For what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin: He condemned sin in the flesh, that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. 

For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.   Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be. So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God. Verse 12, Therefore, brethren, we are debtors—not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. 


God has given us the Holy Spirit to lead us into all truth; to comfort us and exhort us in the good ways of God; to teach us His Words, and to lead us to follow Jesus every day, as we deny ourselves, take up our cross and follow Him to do the will of the Father. We must receive the Holy Spirit; we must be baptized in the Holy Spirit, that we may serve Jesus and the Father in the newness of the Spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter. For the Spirit gives life, but the letter kills. It is God’s Word with the Holy Spirit that gives life. As Jesus said in John 6, The flesh profits nothing. In Romans 8 we read that if we live after the flesh we shall die, but if we, through the Spirit, put to death the things of the flesh, we shall live. The first step in putting to death the things of the flesh is to be baptized in water, wherein we are crucified with Christ: baptized into His death and raised with Him into newness of life, to become a new creation in Him. Then to be baptized in the Holy Spirit and learn to yield to Him, and be led by Him to follow Jesus and do the will of the Father. If we are led by the Holy Spirit, we are a son or a daughter of God, and we are not under the law. But we must truly yield to Him and follow Him every day; not just say we have the Holy Spirit. The first thing that you yield to the Holy Spirit is your tongue: the rudder of your ship, to speak in another tongue as He leads you. Jesus said that what comes out of the mouth defiles a man, because out of the abundance of his heart his mouth speaks. As you continue in Jesus’ Words, your heart will be changed, as He said in John 8:31.


So, light has come into the world. Do you love the light? Are you walking in the light? Or do you love the darkness; do you love your evil deeds? If you will not repent and truly come to Jesus and walk in the light of His Words as He leads you by His Spirit, and do the will of your Father in Heaven, you will surely perish. You will be judged according to all your works in that Day by Jesus Christ, according to what is written in God’s Books. If your name is not written in the Lamb’s Book of Life, you will be cast into the Lake of Fire, where the devil and his angels and the beast and the false prophet will be, to be tormented day and night forever. The only way your sins can be forgiven is if you truly repent from your heart and confess them to God. Then your sins will be forgiven and cleansed by faith in the shed Blood of Jesus: the only thing that can atone for your sins is the precious Blood of Jesus Christ. But you must come to Him and confess your sins; you must have godly sorrow and truly turn from your sin, and you must take His yoke upon you and learn of Him; follow on to know the Lord, and learn to walk in His ways. 


Another thing that I have been speaking of very much is the Word of God. Jesus said, in John 8:31, If you continue in My Word, you will be My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. He also said, Most assuredly, I say to you, whoever commits sin is a slave of sin. And a slave does not abide in the house forever, but a son abides forever. Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed. We must continue in the Word of God, with the Holy Spirit guiding us and teaching us and leading us into all truth to do the Word of God. Jesus said, If you love Me, keep My commandments. The Word of God is the truth. We must love the truth. Jesus told Pilate, For this cause I came into the world: that I should bear witness unto the truth. Everyone that is of the truth hears My voice. We must believe what is written in God’s Word over and above what any man may say. For there are many liars and deceivers: ministers of Satan who appear as ministers of righteousness, quoting the Word of God and speaking lies to deceive you and bring you into bondage and make merchandise of you. Many of them teach The Lie: “You won’t die; you can live after the flesh and go to Heaven.” When Jesus plainly said, in Matthew 7:21, "Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter the Kingdom of Heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in Heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, 'Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?' And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!' There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Don’t believe the lie that you will not be judged in that final Day by Jesus Christ for all your works. 

Only those sins that have been cleansed by the Blood of Jesus are forgiven; only those deeds that you have done in obedience to the Holy Spirit shall make it through the fire, and afford you a good reward. These things are all plainly written in the Scriptures. Believe what is written! Give yourself wholly to God and ask Him to teach you His good Word and make you holy: holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord. 


Prophecy:


I am God Almighty. Hearken diligently to these words that I have given to My servant Rob. For almost five years I have been giving him My Words, as he said. Give heed to these words; I have given them to him: they are My Words. Do not say in your heart, “Oh, who’s he?” Listen to these words; consider what I am saying and I will give you understanding, says the Lord. I love you! Turn from your evil ways; turn unto Me with all your heart and be saved, says the Lord.

 The Narrow Gate


Greetings in the name of Jesus! This is 15 Minutes With Jesus. This is Rob Haymes. Wherever two or three are gathered together in My name, Jesus said, there am I in the midst of them. To those of you who love Him in truth: mercy unto you and peace and love be multiplied. (Jude 1:2)


Praise you Father. We just praise you right now in Jesus’ name. We thank you Father for this program, The Narrow Gate. We just thank you for it. Let’s turn to Mat 7:13&14, Jesus was speaking, and He said, Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it. Let’s turn to Mat 7:21-27, Jesus said, Not everyone who says to Me, Lord, Lord, shall enter the Kingdom of Heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in Heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name? And then I will declare to them, I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness! 

Then He said, Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock. But everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell. And great was its fall. 


Ok, let’s turn to Mat 25:31-46, When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then He will sit on the throne of His glory. All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats. And He will set the sheep on His right hand, but the goats on the left. Then the King will say to those on His right hand, Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: for I was hungry and you gave me food; I was thirsty and you gave me drink; I was a stranger and you took me in; I was naked and you clothed me; I was sick and you visited me; I was in prison and you came to me. Then the righteous will answer Him, saying, Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? When did we see you a stranger and take you in, or naked and clothe you? Or when did we see you sick, or in prison, and come to you? And the King will answer and say to them, Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me. Then He will also say to those on the left hand, Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels: for I was hungry and you gave me no food; I was thirsty and you gave me no drink; I was a stranger and you did not take me in, naked and you did not clothe me, sick and in prison and you did not visit me. Then they also will answer Him, saying, Lord, when did we see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to you? Then He will answer them, saying, Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me. And these will go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into eternal life. I just want to quote that verse again, …these will go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.


Ok, now let’s turn to 1 Pet 1:13-23, Therefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and rest your hope fully upon the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; as obedient children, not conforming yourselves to the former lusts, as in your ignorance; but as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, 

because it is written, Be holy, for I Am holy.  And if you call on the Father, who without partiality judges according to each one's work, conduct yourselves throughout the time of your stay here in fear; knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, like silver or gold, from your aimless conduct received by tradition from your fathers, but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot. 

He indeed was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you who through Him believe in God, who raised Him from the dead and gave Him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God. 


Since you have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit in sincere love of the brethren, love one another fervently with a pure heart, having been born again, not of corruptible seed but incorruptible, through the Word of God which lives and abides forever. Let’s turn to 2 Pet 1:2-11, Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord, as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue, by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge, to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, or endurance, to perseverance godliness, to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love. For if these things are yours and abound, you will be neither barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. For he who lacks these things is shortsighted, even to blindness, and has forgotten that he was cleansed from his old sins. Have you forgotten that you were cleansed from your old sins? Therefore, brethren, be even more diligent to make your call and election sure, for if you do these things you will never stumble; for so an entrance will be supplied to you abundantly into the everlasting Kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. 


Jesus said, If you love Me, keep My Words. He said, Enter by the narrow gate, for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many who go in by it, because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.  The way to and through the narrow gate is love, true love. The only way you can find the narrow gate is by love, and the only way you can go all the way through it is by love. Love is patient, love is kind, love endures all things, hopes all things; love never fails. Jesus said, Greater love has no man than this: that a man lay down his life for his friends; loving God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength, and loving your neighbor as yourself; love does no ill to his neighbor; doing to your neighbor as you would have him do unto you. When you see him hungry, feed him, or thirsty, give him a drink. If he’s naked, clothe him. 


In 1 John it is written, If you have this world’s good, you know, if you have money, if you have clothes, if you have food, and you see your brother or your sister in need, and you do not minister to them, how dwells the love of God in you? If you are only mindful of yourself and your own needs and desires, seeking your own pleasures, seeking money or power; the things of this world: the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, you cannot see the way. You won’t be able to find that narrow way unless Jesus has mercy on you and deals with you to bring you to repentance and the love of God. He said, I Am the way, I Am the truth, and I Am the life. No one comes to the Father but by Me. He will lead you through that narrow gate, and in His way. But it is difficult; it is hard, because, before you can come before the Father, you must be changed; you must be broken; you must be purged and conformed to His image. You must seek Him with all your heart. You must seek after righteousness and you shall be filled. You will find God when you seek Him with all your heart. If you love the world, the love of the Father is not in you. If the love of God is in you, when you are confronted with the truth, you will repent, and turn to Him with all your heart. You will stay faithful to Him as He brings you through the narrow gate to purge you and wash you and create in you a clean heart and righteousness from the God of your salvation: the righteousness which is from God by faith in Jesus’ sacrifice for you on the Cross. You will love Him because He so loved you that He gave Himself for you and washed you from your sins in His own Blood.


The last thing, the last thing you would ever want to do is continue in any sin after He has revealed and proven His love for you by His sacrifice for you on the Cross. He died for our sins and rose again for our justification. The narrow gate is the cross. We must deny ourselves and take up our own cross every day and follow Jesus, being led by; yielding to the Holy Spirit every day as He leads us in following Jesus to do the Father’s will. Remember, Jesus said, the only ones, the only ones who are going into the Kingdom of Heaven are they who do the will of His Father. Not my will, Father, but yours be done. Is that your heart? Or are you still after your own pleasures? Do you love Him? In Mat 25:41, Jesus made it clear when He said, Depart from Me you cursed into everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels… Consider the word, everlasting: it never ends, day after day; night after night, eternal torment and pain, with no rest forever, but, continual joy, glory and peace with Jesus and with His Father in His Kingdom, to those who continue and remain faithful unto death through that narrow gate. Only the love of God can sustain you through it. Everlasting life, or everlasting death: it’s one or the other. 


Interpretation of a message in tongues:


 I Am God Almighty. Behold, I have spoken through My servant Rob to warn you this day. The way is narrow that leads to eternal life. You must seek it with all your heart. Turn to Me with all your heart and seek Me with all your heart and you will find Me, says the Lord.
