Walk As Jesus Walked

Jesus spent intimate time with His true disciples to teach, guide, and love them. This was His personal koinonia (fellowship) time with those who turned their hearts and their lives away from this world to follow Him. This same fellowship lives on today through the power of the Holy Spirit in the lives of true servants of the kingdom of heaven all around the world. If you would like to meet with others online for koinonia, we meet twice a week for fellowship and prayer using Skype. We meet...

The Parable of the Weeds "Jesus put before them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field. But while everyone was asleep, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and slipped away. When the wheat sprouted and bore grain, then the weeds also appeared. The owner’s servants came to him and said, ‘Sir, didn’t you sow good seed in your field? Where then did the weeds come from?’ ‘An enemy did this,’ he replied. So the servants asked him, ‘Do you...

The Parable of the Sower "That same day Jesus went out of the house and sat by the sea. Such large crowds gathered around Him that He got into a boat and sat down, while all the people stood on the shore. And He told them many things in parables, saying, “A farmer went out to sow his seed. And as he was sowing, some seed fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured it. Some fell on rocky ground, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly because the soil was shallow. But...

Here is today's Mini-Boost YouTube message: "As for you, let what you have heard from the beginning remain in you. If it does, you will also remain in the Son and in the Father. And this is the promise that He Himself made to us: eternal life. I have written these things to you about those who are trying to deceive you. And as for you, the anointing you received from Him remains in you, and you do not need anyone to teach you. But just as His true and genuine anointing teaches you about all...

"Those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh; but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit." Romans 8:5 The Apostle Paul wrote, "Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things." Colossians 3:2, and Proverbs 4:27 tells us, "Do not swerve to the right or to the left; turn your feet away from evil." If we are truly walking in the Spirit then the fruit of the Spirit will be evident in our lives. "But the fruit...

"Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show it by his good conduct, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom. But if you harbor bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast in it or deny the truth. Such wisdom does not come from above, but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic. For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there will be disorder and every evil practice. But the wisdom from above is first of all pure, then peace-loving, gentle,...

Hen Soma Ministries invites you to a Christ Centered YouTube Channel: This Spirit led Channel is focused on serving the kingdom of heaven while uniting fellow citizens of heaven throughout the world. Hen Soma Ministries is not connected to today's manmade local church system that only claims the name of Christ, but follows it's many manmade doctrines and practices that lead it's followers away from the narrow path of Christ. We who are in Christ know that there is only ‘One Body,’ the true...

Listen to the parable of the two sons: "But what do you think? There was a man who had two sons. He went to the first one and said, 'Son, go and work today in the vineyard.' 'I will not,' he replied. But later he changed his mind and went. Then the man went to the second son and told him the same thing. 'I will, sir,' he said. But he did not go. Which of the two did the will of his father?" "The first," they answered. Jesus said to them, "Truly I tell you, the tax collectors and prostitutes...

Follow the leading of the Holy Spirit alone as He will teach and guide you in truth! Be careful not to be led by the teachings of mankind. Although they may mean well, they are blind guides that, if followed, will lead you off the narrow path of righteousness. Jesus said, "But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have told you." John 14:26 "And as for you, the anointing you received from Him...

For anyone interested in the topic of the teachings of Jesus, here is a free e-book available for download now. This book contains a collection of messages derived from a series of “Word for Today” postings concerning the teachings of Jesus. You would be surprised just how many who claim to be in Christ or follow Him are not familiar with His teachings. Hence, this series discusses Jesus' teachings and has blessed many readers as they seek spiritual growth and a greater understanding of how...

"And this is the message we have heard from Him (Jesus) and announce to you: God is light, and in Him there is no darkness at all. If we say we have fellowship with Him yet walk in the 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 His Son cleanses us from all sin. If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and...

Are you truly a follower of Christ? Not just someone who made a verbal commitment through a simple prayer and then decides to follow Him when it is convenient or when they need something. Instead, I am talking about someone who is completely sold out to leave this world and with all its desires behind to follow Jesus. Far too many make-believers claim to follow Jesus, but in fact live spiritually dead religious lives. Jesus told us in many ways what He meant when He says to follow Him. One...

“While Jesus was dining at Levi’s house, many tax collectors and sinners were eating with Him and His disciples— for there were many who followed Him. When the scribes who were Pharisees saw Jesus eating with these people, they asked His disciples, “Why does He eat with tax collectors and sinners?” On hearing this, Jesus told them, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.” Mark 2:15-17 Jesus said, “For with the judgment you...

"Once you were alienated from God and were hostile in your minds because of your evil deeds. But now He has reconciled you by Christ’s physical body through death to present you holy, unblemished, and blameless in His presence — if indeed you continue in your faith, established and firm, not moved from the hope of the gospel you heard, which has been proclaimed to every creature under heaven, and of which I, Paul, have become a servant." Colossians 1:21-23 "If we deliberately go on sinning...

He who has an ear let him hear: "Then the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Why do You speak to the people in parables? He replied, “The knowledge of the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them. Whoever has will be given more, and he will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him. This is why I speak to them in parables: ‘Though seeing, they do not see; though hearing, they do not hear or understand.’ In them...

How to Endure The Days Ahead - Vital Message for End Time Believers To prepare for the road ahead, we first must be willing to Fight our Flesh. This video will encourage and inspire you to endure whatever comes your way, to remain steadfast in faith, and to resist temptation like never before. God bless your journey in Him.

Jesus said, "If you love Me, you will keep My commandments. And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Advocate to be with you forever— the Spirit of truth." This is the first video of a new series focused on the "Teachings of Jesus"

This short video (Part 2 of 2) focuses on 1 John 1:5-10. This message illustrates that walking in the light is a matter of life and death for the Christian. Many (most) people in today's institutionalized local church system (Evangelicals, Pentecostals, Protestants, Catholics, Lutherans, denominationalists, non-denominationalists, Bible Believing, and on and on) claim to be Christians, but do not follow Jesus Christ. Instead, they religiously think they are living for Christ, but they in...

God provides His children with many things and ways to help us to spiritually grow. He gives us the written scriptures (the bible), fellowship, and most importantly He gives us direct intercession with Him through the Holy Spirit with our born-again spirit. Yet, many who claim to be in Christ today spend most, if not all, of their time trusting in only the written scriptures in the bible. There is a big difference between what the Holy Spirit and the bible offer us in our lives as believers...

"The Pharisees and scribes (religious leaders of the day) questioned Jesus: "Why do Your disciples not walk according to the tradition of the elders? Instead, they eat with defiled hands." Jesus answered them, "Isaiah prophesied correctly about you hypocrites, as it is written: 'These people honor Me with their lips, but their hearts are far from Me. They worship Me in vain; they teach as doctrine the precepts of men.' You have disregarded the commandment of God to keep the tradition of...

"Then He said to His disciples, "The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few." Matthew 9:37 The true follower of Christ does not dwell on "going to church on the weekend." Instead, we who are truly in Christ will serve the kingdom by tending to the harvest every day of the week just as Jesus taught us to do. Regrettably, many who claim to be "Christians" sacrifice a true walk with Christ for a substitute religious life filled with human traditions and doctrines they practice each...

"Are you still so dull?" He asked. "Do you not understand? Nothing that enters a man from the outside can defile him, because it does not enter his heart, but it goes into the stomach and then is eliminated." (Thus all foods are clean.) He continued: "What comes out of a man, that is what defiles him. For from within the hearts of men come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, greed, wickedness, deceit, debauchery, envy, slander, arrogance, and foolishness. All these...

“Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, “Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother who sins against me? Up to seven times?” Jesus answered, “I tell you, not just seven times, but seventy-seven times! Because of this, the kingdom of heaven is like a king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants. As he began the settlements, a debtor was brought to him owing ten thousand talents. Since the man was unable to pay, the master ordered that he be sold to pay his debt, along with his wife...

Recently, I read the following post on Facebook, "If we cannot enjoy a few hours in God’s service once a week in this world, it is plain to see that we could not enjoy an eternity in His service in the world to come... Too many have no heart for God’s service." This message spoke volumes of truth, and yet, I could not help but think how many churchgoers would miss the point of the message altogether. Modern day "Christians" define God's service as an event (a church service) that happens in...

"Whoever claims to abide in Him must walk as Jesus walked." 1 John 2:6 If you have not listened to this message concerning today's local church system it is worth your time. The message speaks to how this religious institution got its start, why it continues to exist, why so many unknowingly are sold this man-made system. The message also shares true teachings concerning what the real Church is and how we who are truly in Christ should be practicing in this world.

Is your local church system worried about how they will balance their budget in the face of the present pandemic? Do you feel external pressure to give more to make sure they stay afloat? Are your pastors and elders thinking of creative ways to meet the needs of their local institution? I have little doubt that the Lord would tell them to seek Him for their needs instead of trying to figure out how they are going to pay for "God's work." Jesus taught us over and over again that the Father...

There is no time better than now for true followers of Christ to get back to the essentials of what it means to be a Christian. Today's local church system has wandered so far from the narrow path that many would not even recognize it. However, it is just a step away for those who choose to follow Jesus instead of the countless traditional doctrines that do nothing more than satisfy the religious tendencies of mankind and all in the name of Christ. This video message shares the one simple...

There is little doubt that you have already heard a message or two on why Christians should not be fearful during this pandemic. Truth be told, our minds are constantly challenged with thoughts that something could go wrong in times like this. Moreover, the many changes we are having to adjust to create increased stress as we have to deal with new norms, while missing old ones, as we continue to experience challenged conditions. However, for those of us who truly abide in Christ, we have...

Today, the Lords day (as each day should be), is the time for each of us to fully surrender ourselves as “living sacrifices” to serve the kingdom of heaven. This is exactly what Christ did for us, and He asks this of all who make the claim to know Him. “Therefore I urge you, brothers, on account of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God, which is your spiritual service of worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing...

If you are a true servant of Christ this message is for you. If you are not, I pray you will surrender your life as soon as possible as your time to do so is shorter than you think. If you are too busy to read this all the way through, come back to it when you have time. I pray you will all be blessed today in whatever you do! Jesus told us, "Go and make disciples of all nations" (Matthew 28:19). This is our primary responsibility here on earth as we live out our lives as servants of the...

The scriptures clearly tell us, "There is no distinction, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus." (Romans 3:22-24). Therefore, we know that Jesus did not die in vain, but instead He died to set all of mankind free from their sins! "If we say 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...

With Thanksgiving quickly approaching, and Christmas not far behind, we should ponder the significance of these two events celebrated this time each year. As I pondered these Holiday’s I remembered family moments shared with others since my childhood and realized how differently I see things now than I did those many years ago. The deeper I went in my reflection I could not help but think how these events have become part of the fabric of my everyday life. As Christians, we must learn to...

If you are a true follower of Jesus then you know today is your day to serve Him and His kingdom. Parents, grandparents, teachers, doctors, lawyers, pastors, elders, or whatever your daily occupation may be, do all you do today the very best you can for the Lord. “Whatever you do, work at it with your whole being, for the Lord and not for men, because you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as your reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving. Whoever does wrong will be...

The true followers of Christ (citizens of the kingdom of heaven) are called to walk by faith and not by sight here on earth. This means we are to walk in a way that is in direct conflict to how we once walked when spiritually dead in our former lives as the unsaved do. Furthermore, we who are the elect must realize that we only remain here in this world for God’s purpose, not our own. Moreover, Jesus prayed to the Heavenly father, “I am not asking that You take them (His disciples) out of...

Many today make the claim to be a Christian (like-Christ), yet they are trees without good fruit. Jesus warned us of these false believers who make the claim, but it is all talk. “Beware of false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. By their fruit you will recognize them. Are grapes gathered from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit,...

The Lord has commissioned His true disciples to go into the whole world to share the good news of the kingdom of heaven. John the Baptist was an ambassador for Jesus proclaiming, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near.” (Matthew 3:2). Then Jesus proclaimed, as an ambassador of heaven, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near.” (Matthew 4:17). After the resurrection of Jesus Christ the kingdom of heaven became open to all of mankind who would hear the call and respond. This response is...

Surrendering all to follow Jesus, contrary to popular beliefs, is much more than repeating some version of the “sinners pray,” joining and attending some local church, reading the bible, and spending time with others who do the same. Jesus did not tell us to do these things, instead what He did say to His disciples is, “Come, follow Me, “and I will make you fishers of men” (Matthew 4:19). When Jesus told this to Simon called Peter and his brother Andrew they immediately left their nets and...

This past weekend while pondering shortfalls in my relationship with the heavenly Father I began to realize how many hours of each day I simply live my life WITH Him and fail to live FOR Him as He has called me to do. The gospels clearly illustrate the difference between “living for” and “living with” our heavenly Father as illustrated through the life of Jesus. Jesus taught His disciples how to live “for” the Father in both word and deed teaching us to be active servants humbly fulfilling...

“But understand this: In the last days terrible times will come. For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, without love of good, traitorous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. Turn away from such as these! They are the kind who worm their way into...

Throughout Jesus’ ministry He taught us a great deal about the kingdom of heaven. Yet, are we really listening or are we simply hearing what He said. Take for instance the parable of the sheep and the goats. On the surface, we know that on the day of final judgement Jesus, the King, will separate mankind into two groups - the sheep and the goats. Naturally, we all want to consider ourselves as sheep as none of us want to think the unthinkable that we could possibly be a goat. However, the...

Questions: What is the most important day of the week when it comes to serving the kingdom of heaven? Answer: Today! Yesterday is gone and tomorrow is not a given; therefore, today is the only sure day we have to allow the Father to do His will in our lives as we serve His kingdom. Be careful not to place one day over another while serving the kingdom. Matthew 12:1-12 illustrates a good example of this. One time on the Sabbath while walking through the grainfields Jesus’ disciples were...

It is human nature to ask for something that we need or want. At birth, a baby will cry out when they are hungry or uncomfortable. As we age, we learn to ask for things more directly. Some learn the art of getting what they want while others simply ask for what they need. These patterns often follow us throughout our lives here on earth. There are many who continue to cry as spoiled children for the things they do not have. Regrettably, there are many so-called Christians, and maybe even...

As the Spirit moved on me to write this message, I could not help but think about how I hope the Lord keeps it short because many have told me, “These messages are just too long,” “It is too much information for me to scroll through on my phone,” and so on. Yet, I could only smile as I thought about just how little control I have over what the Lord wishes to say. I know by faith that whomever this message is intended will have ample time to read it. Therefore, what does it mean to live by...

The Lord spoke plainly about how true Christians must live their lives if they wish to be part of His kingdom. “Then Jesus told His disciples, “If anyone wants to come after Me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow Me. For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it. What will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, yet forfeits his soul? Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul? For the Son of Man will come in...

Most have prayed or at least heard what is commonly referred to as the “Lord’s Prayer”: “Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name, Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one” (Matthew 6:9-13). Far too many misinterpret why Jesus said these words believing He was teaching us “what” to say when we pray....

“You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden” (Matthew 5:14). Each day we who are true Christians make a choice between surrendering our own will to serve the kingdom of heaven or obliviously fulfill the desires of our flesh and those of spirit of this world. However, Jesus tells us plainly that we are the light of this world and therefore must let our light shine as a beacon to this dying world. My personal failures are plentiful as countless hours and days I have...

Most have heard the expression “beware of false prophets” and yet I wonder if everyone who has heard this warning really understands what it means. Jesus said, “Beware of false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves” (Matthew 7:15). Since the time of the early church there have been countless heretics seeking to use the name of the Lord to feed their own fleshly desires for wealth and fame. In doing so they allow themselves to be used as pawns...

Today's "Christian Religion" would want us all to think the church is a place we go to for fellowship and worship. However, that is not what Jesus taught us about the Church. It is fact that true followers of Christ find fellowship with other true believes all around the world on a daily basis. Hence, the Church is not a weekend event or being a part of an institutionalized organization as many would have us believe. We who belong to Christ are the Church! The scriptures tell us that true...

Anyone who keeps up with the news today can easily see how the world has ramped up their hatred toward both Christians and Jews. From religious extremists to liberal atheists the attacks on those with Judeo-Christian values have grown in number and in intensity. Death threats have become actual attacks on synagogues and church assemblies. The attacks from the media have fueled the fire of hatred and there is great momentum around the world to eliminate anything that has to do with Judaism...
