The Holy Ghost speaks plainly

The Abomination of Desolation

2007-09-16T12:35:00.000-05:00

Brief Overview thus Far

The Holy Spirit has told me that it is time for some hard speech. I am writing this by commandment of that Spirit. The Kingdom of God has come upon you. Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. Therefore everything that is written should be taken up with Lord.

I personally cannot change, alter, re-think or even dispute within myself the things that the Holy Spirit tells me to write. Even though I have had a lot of feedback and suggestions and warnings, I do not have any choice about what the Spirit has to say. Therefore I will write what I am told to write and you must take it or leave it unto the Lord Jesus Christ. He is right there ready to hear your arguments or comments. He is also right here to correct me if I displease Him in any way.

I am allowed to question Him about anything that I do not understand. He answers anything that I ask out of a lack of understanding until I understand. However, I can’t question anything as to whether it is right or wrong. If the Holy Spirit says it, it is right.

The things that I write are not things that I am teaching. They are the things that I am learning. They are the things that the Holy Spirit is teaching me and anyone else that He is teaching with it. I am in no way being used by the Lord out of a need of His. I am merely being included as a wondrous gift to me. I am and shall always be grateful to Him.

Contrary to religious teaching, the Lord Jesus never uses mankind out of a need. He is the King of Kings. He has inherited the entire Kingdom of God. Every single wish or desire He has, is acted upon by that entire Kingdom. This includes an innumerable company of angels any one of which is greater than a thousand fleshly men.

Also contrary to religion, Jesus is not here to repair or save any part of this world. This world was made to be temporary by God from the beginning. God knew that everything that has happened was going to happen. He’s told us things were going to happen before it happened. He has also told us what is going to happen next.

God’s own Son, Jesus Christ, is not here to change the will of God. He is here to fulfill that will. He will not contend or debate with man in any manner. He is not going to repair or fix anything on this planet except unrighteous people who are willing to be made righteous by Him.

He is come in the flesh to see who among mankind is willing to be subject unto His rule as King. He has already given us His commandments. If you do not know what these commandments are, then you can pick up any Bible and they are written for you. Most Bibles have the words that He spoke personally in red letters. These are His commandments. If you are subject unto the Lord then you are subject unto these commandments.

You can’t just know what they are. You also can’t just put them to memory. To be subject to them, you must do them. If you are going to be subject unto the Lord, you must do what He says to do twenty-four hours a day seven days a week.

To mankind this is impossible. However with God all things are possible. Jesus has provided a gift to those who wish to be obedient. If you will confess your sin and repent of it, He will forgive you. If you will agree to be subject unto Him in all things by contract of baptism, He will give unto you the Holy Spirit. The Spirit will take over your life and teach you to be subject unto Jesus Christ. This is the way that you must do it or you are subject unto another King than Jesus.

You were created to be far more than you can ever imagine in your wildest dreams. If you are found to be worthy through obedience to the will of Christ Jesus in the Holy Spirit concerning His commandments in the flesh, then you will die to your own life and be born again into the glorious creation that you were meant to be.

You were made in the image of God. The creation that you are in the flesh is only an image or picture of what you were made to be. You are a soul and spirit in a fleshly body. Your soul is what makes you different from every other creation. It is what makes you who you are. Your spirit is a receiver that receives all of the things that we see, hear, taste, touch or smell. Your spirit then digests this information and your soul brings it to life in your flesh. Your life is a testimony of what your soul has received from your spirit.

In the flesh, if your spirit receives bad things than your soul or personality becomes dark and angry. If your spirit receives good things or things you like, then your soul is light and happy. This is what makes you made in the image of God. The fleshly body is just a temporary vehicle that carries this wondrous creation.

Since the flesh is the only part of this wondrous creation that we can see with our eyes and hear with our ears, we spend most of our souls on the care and keeping of our bodies. The things that keep our spirit healthy and happy take a back seat to the things of our flesh. Without our care, our spirit becomes weak and our souls become polluted with the things of the flesh. We invest our entire souls to the care and keeping of our temporary vehicles.

The wondrous creation that you were made in the image of God becomes a product that you sell to this world. In rejecting Jesus Christ in your spirit and caring for your own flesh you become the image of Satan. He was thrown out of heaven for the very same thing.

The Abomination of Desolation

With this said, I am now going to tell you something that I am required to tell you before I write it that the Kingdom of God has come upon you. Make sure that as you read, you pray for understanding. This is a very serious subject to God.

I have prayed that the Lord would keep my thoughts or my input completely out as I write or speak in His name. I would appreciate it if whoever is reading this would also pray in whatever manner that you pray in the name of Jesus Christ that no evil influence whatsoever would be allowed to interfere with your receiving what I am about to tell you. That includes anything that I think. We all need to hear only what the Spirit of God has to say and nothing else on this subject.

There is present in the world today an abomination unto God that is an abomination above all other abominations. Mankind, through the ages, has had idols and false gods. Those that profited from them worshiped these idol gods. The rest would fear the idols because the ones that profited would make sure that they did. These were abominations to God. If they found themselves in His presence with these idols, the rest of their short lives did not go well at all. God has been longsuffering and forgiving to mankind on this matter even though, as you well know, it goes on today all over the world.

There is an abomination in this world today that is so offensive to God that He will not suffer it any longer. The time for this abomination to stop is right now. If you have any part of what I am about to tell you then I would seriously advise you to repent in as humble a manner as you know. Afterwards never go there again.

Mankind has become so vain in the fact that he was made with his own soul in the image of God that he has done that thing that he was told never to do by God. He has made unto himself another false idol. This one is far worse than any idol that has ever been made (although all of them are worthy of the punishment that they received). The idols that man made throughout history had names like Baal, Rah, Diana and so on. This idol that man has created today has taken on the name of the Lord God almighty.

As a whole, mankind has given his soul over to the flesh. The world and the flesh are the kingdom of Satan. Everyone that has ever read the Bible knows this. Man considers that since he is made in the image of God that God must be pretty much like him only magic. He has made unto himself a god in his own fleshly image. This idol god is easy to serve. He lives in house like us, seeks money and fame like us, makes mistakes like us and hates anyone who is against him like us. He overlooks pretty much anything they do that is sin as long as they give him his cut.

Man has also given this idol a son. This idol son was also born in a manger so that they could have Christmas without feeling guilty of partaking of a pagan holiday. He was also born of a virgin so that they could also worship his mother. He walked on the earth and gave some advice on how to live. He was also tortured and murdered by man as a sacrifice to the idol god so that they would be allowed to sin and not have to pay for it. He ascended unto heaven and is waiting there to come back one day and slay all the people they don’t like and rescue those who knew his name from the earth that they destroyed in that name. They have also made the serious mistake of giving this idol son the name above all names, Jesus Christ.

Another serious mistake that man made in the creation of this false idol is that they have sold a holy ghost. This is man’s silent partner who protects them and gives them suggestions concerning their fleshly lives. This is also what man blames for what he himself thinks or comes up with.

This idol god also takes all the people who don’t give him his cut or interferes with the happiness of those who did give him his cut and throws them in a fiery hell where Satan lives and they are burned and tortured forever so that the “faithful” don’t have to fear them or be bothered by them anymore.

This idol god receives ten thousand times the worship and praise on earth as the Lord God himself. The followers of this idol have compassed the entire earth selling this notion of a god made in the image of man.

This idol is very flexible concerning his operation. There is a house that he lives in on corners all over the world. They teach pretty much any doctrine that you wish to believe.

The standard price for receiving all of the benefits of this idol is ten percent of whatever you have profited in the flesh. If you pay his cut, then for his own profit he gives you all the more riches in the flesh. What this idol does with his profits is pay those, who sell his god ship, large salaries. Then he builds huge elaborate temples where those, who worship him, can come and give him his cut in comfort. Once a week or more these idol worshipers gather together and have the Bible cut up into small enough pieces so that they can string the pieces together and make it say whatever they want.

When they pray in these gatherings they usually start their prayers with “dear god”. This is so that their god knows that they are talking to him and not each other. Then they thank him for the fleshly things that they have taken unto themselves and ask him for the things of the flesh that they were not able to take unto themselves. They apologize for whatever they did that he thinks is sin. They tell him who to bless and why. They ask it in the name of the idol son so that he knows that they know his name and the idol god is more likely to give them the things that they pray for. Then they say “amen”. This is a sign to the idol that they are through talking to him and they are getting on with their fleshly lives.

They gather in groups, after these meetings, to assure one another that no matter how bad the economy gets, before it gets too bad, the idol son will return and teach them all to fly. Then they all fly away together to flesh lovers’ paradise.

This idol god is a serious offense to the Lord God. Because of the overspreading of abomination that this has caused, God will send those that have profited from this idol and those that have worshiped it into a time of such desolation, as the world has not seen since the beginning. This will be a time of great hardship in the flesh. It will be a time of great crying and anger. The stores by which mankind has kept himself shall be emptied. The earth will no longer bring forth its bounty. Those that are exercised by this time will pray for death but it will not find them. Death will not interfere or shorten this time. No one will come out of this time until they have repented of all of their evil deeds and given their entire selves over to the worship and praise of God and Jesus Christ.

This hell has no time limit. Again, death will not interfere. Time is irrelevant to God. It is however relevant to you.

If you have anything to do with this abomination, I strongly suggest that you immediately cease and repent in your most humble manner. Do not have anything more to do with this abomination. If you are true in your heart as to your repentance, the Lord Jesus will forgive you and save you from this time of severe desolation and grief.

If you do not repent, there is nothing more for you than a certain waiting for the wrath of God. Your wait will not be long.

You, The Book of Life, Hell & Tribulation

The only comfort I can give to those who reject this warning is that hell is not a place where God puts all of his people that commit sin so that He can torture and torment them forever. This is part of that same blasphemous lie.

Hell is a place where the most stouthearted of sinners can have enough tribulation to learn the commandments of God and why He made them. Hell is where even the most evil of souls can be tolerated long enough for them to learn, through great tribulation, to fear God. Thereby, they can be saved and partake of the glorious life that is given to them by God.

Hell is a gift given to God’s only begotten Son at His coronation as King of Kings. Before His coronation, Jesus was mistreated horribly and killed by mankind. He endured these things unto God as a show of His love for mankind. With this sacrifice, Jesus Christ saved the souls of all of mankind. Hell is a gift to Jesus from God to assure Him that even the worst of souls could be tolerated there long enough for them to be saved. Thereby, Hell is also another wonderful gift to us from Jesus Christ.

We can freely love all of the souls that are put before us without judgment. We know that when it comes to everlasting life, they will all be there.

The lives of every soul on earth, since the beginning, are given by God as a chapter in the Book of Life. Jesus has saved all souls, therefore, every soul is another life filled with questions and answers of life. All of these souls collectively make up the entire Book of Life. Any question that could ever be asked about life is in this book. The outcome of any action that you could possibly do is in this book.

After contributing to the Book of Life every soul is given a choice. They can continue in this fleshly life until they understand this entire Book or they can surrender this life to Jesus Christ in faith and He will lovingly and kindly teach you the things of this Book.

To fully understand the wondrous creation that you are, you must be born again. Our souls have been saturated with the cares and affairs of the flesh. Our spirits have become weak. The affairs of the flesh have pretty much consumed our souls. Therefore our own spirits are put away to make room in ourselves for the spiritual receiver that gives us the best advice on matters of the flesh. These fleshly advisors are evil spirits.

When we take unto ourselves the things of the flesh and begin to live our lives according to the affairs of this world, we open ourselves to evil spirits. They advise our souls on things of the flesh. They lead us into a place where the care and keeping of our flesh is so important that our spirits are left starving. Our souls are so consumed with the affairs of this world that we become just another animal on the earth with the sand running out of our hourglass. We try to consume as many of the things that we instinctively lust for before our inevitable death.

You were not created to be just another fish in God’s aquarium to entertain Him with your life until you die. No matter what lie you have been told or believe, you will never die to the point that you cease to exist. Your flesh will most certainly die in due time. Your soul, however, has been saved by Jesus Christ. It will be put through whatever rigorous test that is necessary for it to be saved and live forever.

Life in the Spirit

Your spirit is a piece or part of the Spirit of God. It can be given or taken at His will. When your soul has been sufficiently exercised to be worthy to receive it, your spirit will be returned to you. It will receive the things of God and your soul, having been exercised by reason of great tribulation, will live these things to life. You shall be the very image of God.

If you love the Lord Jesus and are willing to trust the rest of your life to Him in faith, being obedient to His commandments and are willing to enter into a contract signed in His blood and your baptism that states that you are willing to worship and serve Him and are willing to be subject unto His rule for the rest of time without end, then He will give unto you the Holy Spirit of God.

This Spirit will come into your own vessel and will teach your soul about the things of God. He will remind you of the commandments of Jesus Christ and will try your soul on these matters.

If, after being tried, you are found to be worthy through obedience to the commandments of Christ Jesus, you shall be part of His chosen. The Holy Spirit will receive the deep things of God and will bring them to life in your own soul. Your body will become the temple of God. For the rest of this life on earth, your life will be a reflection or image of Jesus Christ.

When this life is over you shall be given a glorious new body that shall be perfect for you. You shall be clothed in garments that are pure righteousness. Then in your new splendor, you will be married unto the Lord Jesus. Your own spirit will be the Spirit of God and your soul will be a perfect reflection of this Spirit. You shall be a part of the actual family of God. You shall forever be the actual image of God.

May the abundant joy and peace that comes with obedience to Christ Jesus be yours forever. Amen & amen.

"The Swim"

2007-09-09T15:34:00.000-05:00

This is a parable that was given to me by the Holy Spirit.

I was living on an island. It was fairly large, as far as islands go. It was completely surrounded by a never-ending ocean.

Anyone who ever attempted to cross this ocean never came back. The farthest that anyone had gone and returned was a small uninhabitable island far to the north. This island was named “Moon”.

The story was that the god who made this island lived across this ocean. One day He would send someone who would guide all of the island people across the ocean to a paradise and we would live happily forever with Him there.

There was also a story about a man who was born on the island. The story was that before he was born on the island, he had lived across the ocean with God. It was told that he had crossed the ocean, seen paradise, and came back. He said that one day he would come back and guide the people to paradise. The people killed him.

There were huge ships around the island. These were the ships that God would use when He took the people to paradise. The people would gather once or twice a week on these ships and worship God. They all had different prices for this passage to paradise. The standard price was ten percent of whatever you made while on the island. The captains of these ships lived on the ships and were paid a good salary for preparing the people for the journey.

No one knew what day the guide was going to come back and get us. Until then we were just supposed to live on the island together and take care of each other. God had left an instruction manual that told what we should do until the guide came.

As time went on and the guide never came, the people began to lose their faith. The people stopped taking care of each other for fear they would not have enough for themselves. The island separated into groups according to which ship people chose to trust their journey to.

As their faith deteriorated, they began to fight among themselves and do the things that God told them not to do in the instruction manual. The island got more populated and thereby more dirty. The dirtier the island got, the cleaner the ships seemed.

The people began to move in and around the ships. After a while the ships became just as dirty as the rest of the island. The bottoms were rotted out. There was no way that the ships could move, let alone take anyone across the endless ocean to paradise.

All of the produce and goods from the island was owned by a few people who owned the inside part of the island. They began to rule and dictate to the people because they had the stuff to live on the island and the people had given up hope on the ships and the guide.

The island became full of very small places where each person lived. The only real space belonged to the rich. The people began to choose off into sides and fight and kill one another. The ships would pray for whatever side had the most people from their ship.
God was forgotten. What you could get for yourself from the owners of the island became the purpose for the day. All of the people stayed in their own small space and protected their goods from the other people. Selfishness became a necessity.

As the selfishness, filth, sin and hopelessness grew, the island became hell.

I had a very small place on the beach. I had stopped going to the ships because they were just as bad as the rest of the island. The ships weren’t going anywhere anyway.

I just sat in hell reading the instruction manual looking for some sort of hope.

As I read, I started noticing that there were lots of things in the manual that I had not been taught on the ship. For one thing it said that the guide had already come to the island a long time ago. The people had killed him for fear of losing their island.

God was so displeased with that action that He had given their island to their worst enemy. It said that their enemy had been the one that built the ships and decided who received what from the island.

It said that the guide would not come and take the island to paradise. Not by ship or any other means. It said that because of the way they had treated the guide God would destroy the island. It said that if you wished to go to paradise you would have to leave the island and the guide would meet you individually.

This did not give me hope. How could you leave an island surrounded by endless ocean? I did not even have a canoe let alone an ocean-worthy boat.

I sat there in my small space and contemplated suicide. Even if the manual said it was wrong, it was one way of leaving this God-forsaken island.

As I sat in my dismay, a man came up to my space. He was one of the homeless wanderers of the island. In some way, he had made the new owners of the island mad and they would not give him his own space. He asked if he could share my space for a while and rest.

I usually would not let “this kind of person” in my space. They might steal something and the other people would look down on you for keeping company with that kind of person.

This was his lucky day. I was so hopeless that I didn’t care. I asked him to join me. He sat down. As I looked at his face, I noticed that he had the most compassionate eyes I had ever seen. He picked up my manual and asked if I had been reading it. I told him that I had and that I couldn’t understand it. I began telling him my woes even though he was the homeless one.

He listened carefully and when I was through talking, he put his arm around me and said not to worry because he knew the way to paradise. Of course I did not believe him. He was homeless after all but I could not get over those eyes so I decided to hear him out.

He told me that he had been to paradise. He told me that the way to get there was to swim. He told me that the guide would not come to the island but if I would leave the island He would meet me in the ocean and show me the way.

He said that God did not like the island or the things of the island but He loved me. He said that if I would take off all my clothes and take nothing from the island and start swimming in faith, the guide would meet me and take me to paradise. He said there was one stipulation; once you began, there was no turning back.

This sounded strange to me but I had nothing to lose. I decided to give it a try.

I planned my attempt. I decided not to go completely naked. I thought I should wear a bathing suit for modesty sake. I also decided to take a sandwich and some water. It had to be a long way.

Before I started, I stood and looked out over the ocean. There was a buoy about a quarter of mile out. I decided to swim to that buoy and if I made it to there without incident then I would continue. If something happened that I didn’t feel I could make it, I could make it back to the shore from there.

I began swimming. It is hard to swim with a sandwich in one hand and a bottle of water in the other. The tide was against me also. I was swimming against the current. I was worried I would drown before I reached the buoy. I sure didn’t have enough energy to get back. I finally reached the buoy. Grabbing it with both hands, exhausted, I just hung there and tried to catch my breath.

I was devastated. Not only could I not make it across the ocean, I barely made it to the buoy. This was also my last hope. Dejected, I ate my sandwich and drank my water and started back. The current was with me so I made it easily. I went back to my space and started crying.

I was so caught up in my own self-pity that it was a while before I noticed that the man that told me to swim was standing by watching me. I motioned for him to come over. When he arrived, I began to chastise him for giving me false information.

He answered by telling me that I had in no way did what he said. He said his information was not to blame for my failure. I had failed because I didn’t follow the instructions given. He said he told me to go naked and I wore a suit. I explained about the modesty thing. He asked me what possible reason I could have for worrying about that if I was going to swim to paradise. He also said that he had told me to go without provisions by faith and I had taken food and drink. He said that I had planned for failure so how could I succeed.

He told me one more time. He said I would have to leave everything about the island behind including my clothes and start swimming in faith that what God had told me in the instruction manual, He would do. When it was sure that I would not turn back, the guide would come and lead me to paradise. Once you start, there’s no turning back.

I sat for a long time and considered this story. I checked it in the manual. It all checked out but it still sounded like suicide to me. I thought maybe you just needed to die trying to get there to actually get there.

Either way, I definitely did not want to stay here. I was contemplating dying to get out of here anyway. If this was what God wanted me to do, I was going to do it.

That night without the slightest preparation, I hit the beach in prayer and started swimming away from the island forever. The nakedness did not bother me like I thought it would and I felt pretty good. I just closed my eyes and swam as hard as I could away from the island.

When I finally tired, after what seemed like hours, I stopped and started dog paddling to check my progress. I was tired but I was all right. I looked back and I could see the buoy that I had barely made it to before. It was barely visible behind me. This gave me renewed strength and I continued swimming out to sea.

After another pretty good bit of swimming, I began to be hungry and thirsty. I noticed something floating in the water in front of me. I swam to it and found a sandwich on top of the piece of wood. I gratefully took the sandwich and started eating it. It made me very thirsty. All of a sudden something bumped my back and I turned to find a bottle of water floating in front of me. Amazed and full of wonder, I gratefully drank some of the water. After thinking about it, I decided to save half of the sandwich and water for later.

I began swimming again and the first stroke I made, a wave splashed over the sandwich and washed it away. I also found out the bottle had a hole in it and all of the water had run out. I started to cry about my loss and as my self-pity grew, I couldn’t swim any more. My arms were cramping, I was out of breath and I began to sink.

All of a sudden I was back on top of the water and my strength was renewed. I could also hear a voice calling my name. I answered and the voice told me that he was the guide that I was told about. He asked my why I was crying. I told him what had happened. He told me that the reason that had happened was because I had thought to save the gifts for later, just in case I did not receive more when I wanted them.

He told me there were not many sandwiches floating on wood in the ocean, nor bottles of water for that matter. They were gifts from him to me. He told me next time I receive a gift from him, I should receive it with thanksgiving and eat and drink it with the faith that he would take care of everything I needed.

He said that I should just keep swimming straight towards a small light that looked like a star but you could see it in the day. He said I should not veer to the left or to the right and if anything happened that concerned me I should just call him and he would be there.

I began swimming again with new excitement and confidence. I felt wonderful.

I swam for a while and then I bumped into something in the water. It was a dead corpse floating in the water. I immediately called the guide. He answered and told me that he wanted me to see this corpse. He told me to notice the muscle tone from preparing for this journey. He told me to notice how he shaved his head to cut down on resistance. He told me to notice how I had not prepared at all, just took off in faith or resolve and I was still alive and well, and he was dead. Then he told me to go on with my swimming.

After I had swum for a while more I began to hear a voice off to my left. As I got closer I could tell the voice was quite frantic and was calling for help. Being a person that feared God, I immediately began swimming toward the voice. As I neared, I could see it was a man who was obviously having a hard time staying afloat. When I reached him, he immediately began trying to relieve himself by climbing on top of me. Soon we were both about to drown so I called the guide.

When I returned to the surface the man was gone. The guide asked me what I thought I was doing. I explained that the man needed help and I thought I should help him. The guide asked me what I possibly thought I would do with him even if I did save him. We were in the middle of the ocean. There was nothing in sight as far as the eye could see in any direction. He reminded me that he had told me to swim straight towards the light and not veer to the left or the right and if I needed anything I should call on him. He could save the man if that was his will but there was no way that I could. Then he told me to continue swimming.

As I was swimming, I began to imagine paradise. Clean pearly white shores, golden streets, pineapple plants, beautiful flowers, angels, and God. When I considered that I was swimming to paradise with the guide and everything, I became very happy and satisfied. I swam with renewed vigor.

I swam and imagined and prayed for what seemed like hours. I began to get very tired. I started to call the guide when my hand touched the bottom of the ocean. I stood and found that I was only in about three feet of water. I looked and there before me was a beautiful small island.

It had clean white beaches that did not have so much as a footprint in them. It had some pineapple plants and some beautiful palm trees swaying in the breeze. I praised God and laid down under the palm trees and watched the colors change in the beautiful sunset and fell asleep.

The next morning I awoke to the sound of a voice calling for help. I looked and there, about one hundred yards from shore, was a man struggling to make it in. My first instinct was to swim out to help him then I remembered the last incident. I called the guide. He answered. I told him about the man in the water who was crying for help. The guide then told me to go out and help him. I swam out and the man had no strength left to make it in. I told him to relax and I would tow him in. When we got to the shore the man just collapsed on the ground. He raised his head and thanked me because he sure needed my help and I thanked the guide because I sure needed to help someone.

We ate fruit and talked with the guide. We praised God for all of the wonderful blessings we had received. Then the guide told the man to sleep. He told me to continue my swim.

I was instantly disappointed. The guide asked me what was wrong. I told him that I thought or at least hoped that this was paradise. The guide asked me how I could reason that this was paradise. It was a small island. It only had about three pineapple plants and about twenty trees. He told me it was just a place he had given me to rest. He told me that we were just getting started on my journey to paradise.

I began swimming again. As I swam, I thought about all that had happened. Even though I was just a naked swimmer trying to reach paradise, I had just been given my own island to rest on from God. I praised and thanked God. Then I called the guide. I told him that I was sorry for my impatience. I thanked him for his guidance. I told him that even if it took one hundred years to swim to paradise, I was ready to do it and that I would do whatever he said for as long as it took.

The guide told me to stop swimming. I stopped swimming and just dog paddled. He told me to stop altogether. I stopped dog paddling and began to sink. After sinking about four or five feet, I panicked. I frantically swam back to the surface.

The guide asked me why I had panicked. He asked me why I didn’t trust him. I told him that I did trust him. He said if I trust him then stop swimming. I stopped and began to sink again. I sank four feet, then ten feet, then fifteen feet. The pressure started pushing in on my ears. Just as I was about to panic again, I was back at the surface. But this time I was not swimming. I was just sitting there about five or six inches above the water. I was amazed and excited.

The guide told me that if we were ever going to reach paradise we were going to have to make better time than my swimming. All of a sudden I was moving across the water at great speed. The wind was whistling past my ears. I was going so fast that I figured after five minutes I had gone further than my entire swim. I became very excited. I kept watching in front for land or birds or any sign that we were getting close to paradise.

As sudden as I started, I stopped. As I sat there I looked around me. I did not see anything but ocean. I asked the guide why we had stopped. The guide answered and said it was because we had reached our goal. I didn’t see anything so I was puzzled. Then I saw a figure coming towards me. I could not make out his features because he was as bright as the sun.

He came up to me and asked me if I knew who he was. I knew by the voice that it was the guide. I told him that I thought he was the guide. He put his hand on me. I became instantly covered with a white robe that felt as if it was made of peace and love. I was so overwhelmed that I began to cry. I didn’t know how to act so I fell down at his feet and began thanking him.

He raised me up. He said that indeed he was the guide but he was much more than that. He said he was God’s own Son. I asked Him if He was going to take me to paradise. He said that I was already there. I looked around but there was nothing but ocean.

I said that the manual had told of clean white beaches, plenty of food, flowers, angels and God. He said, “Like this?” Instantly I was standing on the most beautiful beach I had ever seen. I was amazed. He asked me if I wanted another. Instantly there was another huge beach right beside the first one. I looked at Him with puzzled amazement. He asked me if I would like ten of them and instantly there were beaches running in every direction. Each beach was just as beautiful as the first.

I began thanking Him and praising Him. As I was praising His name, He began praising God. He thanked God for me. I was amazed. The one who had just made all of those beautiful beaches with a thought was thanking God for me. I was nothing. I was a terrible man while on the island. I was not a very good swimmer and if not for Him I would be dead.

He told me that He had wanted me before I was even born. He said that my life on the beach was given to me to show me how bad things could be without God. He told me that the swim was to show me that anything was possible as long as I was with Him. He asked me if I would stay with Him no matter what. I told Him that I would stay and do whatever He said forever no matter what.

All of a sudden all of the beaches were gone. We were standing on the water in the middle of the ocean. I was once again naked.

He told me that as long as I was with Him, I was never far from paradise or God. He said He was that place I was trying to reach. He said that He had inherited the entire kingdom of God. He said that as long as I was with Him, I was always in paradise.

He said that He would never leave me or forsake me. He told me that forever and ever no matter what happened, I could call Him and He would be there.

He asked me if I knew where I was going next. I pondered for a second and said, “back to the island, right?” He said that was correct. He told me not to worry about that because He would always be with me. If anything at all bothered me, I could call Him and He would be there. He said that I would not have to be a part of the island. It would not be my home. I would just wander and learn. If anyone asked me how to get to paradise, I knew what to tell them.

He said that before He put me back there, He wanted me to remember these six words;

“Here I am, there you are.”

Questions of the Soul

2007-09-09T06:55:00.000-05:00

My name is Sherrell. I type these posts but did not write them, but I wrote this one in the Spirit. I wanted to share it in case it might help any of you to find the answers to the questions in your souls. This was one of the questions in mine.

It’s so very important to know what your questions are. You think you know when you are troubled what they are, but if you think about it you really don’t. I am not talking about normal questions. I’m referring to questions that linger in your soul. They linger for years. They lay there quietly, and every once in a while when all is still you can feel it beckoning for an answer.
I have had one for years and when in times past I faintly heard it, I chose to silence it once more rather than stop to hear it. Over the last 14 months I’ve been a friend and helper for lack of a better word to a lady I knew that was diagnosed with terminal cancer. Before that I was doing nothing worthwhile with my time but being selfish and not taking care of my responsibilities to their fullest with my husband and my children and other areas of my life that I take for granted rather than appreciate.
In that time I’ve had the most bizarre but praiseworthy thing happen. I found friendships, some deep and some just in passing but every time I have gotten around these people they would impart some wisdom, some thought that would cause me to think about things differently. Most are great examples and some were not. Either way, I listened and picked up all these pieces for safe keeping, considering any piece of wisdom to be priceless.
Slowly as time went by while I was caring for this friend and winging it the best I could with my kids and husband, these little pieces of wisdom would invade my space. Slowly I refused to be preoccupied with the selfish things and slowly I started putting more of my time in at least going through the motions so that I might at least appear to be striving to be a good mom and wife.
Let me share some inside information before I go any further with my confession. When I first heard my friend was diagnosed with cancer, I pondered for a long time about what I would say to her when I saw her. When I decided what I would say, I heard a voice in my soul say to me “Is that for you or is that for her?” The answer of course was for me, so I quickly forgot what I was going to say and decided right then not to say anything at all that wasn’t for her. Then when she was released from the hospital, she called and asked me to give her a ride and when the nurse was telling her in front of me when her first chemotherapy appointment was, she looked so scared and alone and I was moved with love and compassion for her so I did the only thing I could do, I offered to take her to it. Right before I said, “I’ll give you a ride” I heard a voice in my soul say, “You know that once you do this it isn’t a onetime affair, it’s a very long process which will end sadly, are you willing to go that distance?” and I answered back yes. So I did. While walking with her I didn’t go through the motions I meant it. It was important to walk uprightly (the best I could anyway).
The time came for her journey to be over and thank God because it was hard and painful for her. Now I sit unable to move spiritually. As usual though, I am going about my day and I’ve ran into each of my friends at one time or another and there, waiting as usual, was more valuable pieces of wisdom. I picked up all the pieces and started sorting them out in that place where I am unable to move from and then I get an email about choices. (When I respond back in writing to something that moved me, I find that I am usually writing to myself in a way. I typically do not know the things I have written until I read it.) Because of that email I started to realize that I was refusing to hear a question in my soul going through me over and over refusing to let me silence it again.
All my life, even as a child, I had a need to find a noble cause and yet never finding one because of some corrupt thing or another involved in what I thought was a noble cause that turned out not to be or my own inability to put in what it took to get one, either way I never found one. I watched my mother clean the house and that is what she did obsessively and I thought I didn’t want that to end up being my life. Now I know that is what she did to escape the pressures of being a mother because of neglect she suffered as a child, she was unable to deal with those pressures properly so she did what she knew how to do, she cleaned. As a child I didn’t know this of course so to me that was a mother’s lot and I didn’t want any part of it. To strengthen my resolve to this frame of mind, when I was twelve years old it was my responsibility to cook, clean and do laundry because my mother got a job for the first time in her life. I remember she was so excited. Of course she was, it was a new escape and it got her totally away. Don’t get me wrong she loved her children and did the best she could of this I have no doubt.
Trouble and bad choices carried me away and I stopped looking for a noble cause and eventually found myself in need of salvation and there of course was the Lord. He saved me from the wreck I had made of my life. Years go by and through momentary lapses of reason I marry and eventually we find ourselves with children and I find myself with a household and “Mother’s Lot”. Through ups and downs and more bad choices, I was getting lost. I didn’t pray much anymore. I wasn’t happy or thankful in the place I found myself and that nagging feeling in my soul would not leave me alone. I sought escape too. I could barely deal with the pressures of “a mother’s lot” although I loved my children very much. I felt guilty for the things I should give them and couldn’t find it in myself to do. I sought escape in being preoccupied with things that had nothing to do with the kids and barely to do with my husband as well.
I watch my friends and see how they love their children and how they are devoted to their children and knew there was something missing here. Again I love my children very much. They are great. My son is the joy of my life and my daughter is me made over.
Now here I am sitting at the station by myself. I have just seen a friend to her destination (I mean everlasting life, not death) and I am lost again. I have pieces to a puzzle that I can’t get together and I can’t move on for some reason. In answering the email that I received about choices I realize that I have a question in my soul. I didn’t know that only because I constantly chose to ignore it. After reading what I had written in response to this email I was really troubled. I pray and I hear myself say in my soul “what is my question Lord?” and the response was:
If I could be that devoted to a friend in her hour of need and remove my needs out of the mix to make sure that I never added to her burden but lightened it whenever possible why don’t I do that at home with my husband and children? Why don’t I see that raising two wonderful, loving and bright children up in the ways of the Lord in a world like this as a noble cause and a thankworthy purpose? Why am I still seeking for what is already there before me? How can it be changed?
I know it always takes a miracle to completely change one’s perspective and this perspective of mine in regards to a “Mother’s Lot” has been my perspective since I was a child. It will take a miracle but it isn’t the first time the Lord has, in an instant, totally changed the way I think and feel about something.
I thank and praise God for each and every one of my friends who have wandered across my path from time to time imparting some wisdom the Lord knew I needed. I can only hope that they received something from me through the Lord as well.

Jesus Christ is Come in the Flesh

2007-08-12T13:46:00.001-05:00

I have been chosen by the Lord Jesus Christ to testify of His coming in the flesh. This is a great honor and I am unworthy of it. I do not even begin to understand the reason why I was chosen. I suppose it was to prove the forgiveness and longsuffering of the Lord. Whatever the reason, I shall be forever grateful and repentant.

I am amazed at the response to this testimony. Most people, who receive this testimony, receive it as a precaution, just in case it’s true. Then they go on with their lives in the flesh just in case it’s not. Others plan to tell God that they “just didn’t know”. They will not receive it because it is devastating to their plea of ignorance unto God. There are those who will not receive it because they are afraid that God will require them to give up some of their things in the flesh.

There are also those who are offended by this testimony because it is a conviction on some aspect of their lives. They consider themselves to be “Christians” and ready to be “raptured” on the day of the Lord. Those who consider themselves to be something already are not very open to instruction from anyone, especially anyone without credentials that say that they are “qualified” to do so.

Everyone who has read the Bible knows of the Holy Spirit. Of course they know who Jesus Christ is. He is the perfect Son of God who died for us. Everyone, who has read the Bible or not, knows who God is. He is the one who made all things, has no beginning and no end and the one whose will all of this is.

Here is the story that is accepted by virtually every religion or group that accepts the Bible as the Word of God.

God made the world. God made man. Man would not accept the fact that he was made and began to do the things that displeased God. God straightened mankind out. Mankind became afraid of God and asked God for a law instead of direct discipline. In His love and longsuffering for His creation, God gave them what they asked for. The penalty for breaking this law was death. Without His guidance, all men broke the law.

Once again, in His love and longsuffering of His creation, God sent His own Son to save man from his penalty of death. He was also sent to show mankind how he could live forever. He died on the cross as a sacrifice for man’s sin. Now, whoever believes in Jesus will be saved and have everlasting life.
All bible-believing people teach and believe this story. I believe this story. It is a part of the Bible and we are all Bible believing.

Most “full gospel” religions believe this part of the story also…

After Jesus died, He rose again and ascended into Heaven. He returned and told His disciples to wait and He would give them the gift of the Holy Spirit. After receiving this gift, His disciples taught, through the Holy Spirit, that all people could repent of their sins, be baptized and they would receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

All of these things are accepted or believed by “Christians”. They are all in the Bible and we are all Bible believing.

The Bible is a fairly large book. Mine has 1244 pages. It has a great deal more in it than the things I have just written.

If we believe that any of the Bible is true or divinely inspired, then all of the Bible is true. Even if you believe that man could mess something up in the translation over the years, you must believe that God is able to deliver the right message to you.

There is no part of the testimony that I have been given by the Holy Spirit that is not in the Bible. The one part of this testimony that seems to cause the most trouble is that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. (1 John 4:1-6) Most people are waiting for trumpets to sound and clouds to part. Then they believe that all the people who believe that Jesus exists will be “raptured” or blast off as a group. They have been sold this notion from one passage out of this large Bible (1 Thessalonians 4:16-17) “For the Lord Himself shall descend from Heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air; and so shall we ever be with the Lord.”

Paul was talking to the people who were worried about the people they knew that were dead. He told them not to worry about them because Jesus had taken them with Him when He went back to God. When he told them about the rest of us, he said we, which are alive and remain to His coming, shall be caught up to meet Him in the air. He included himself in this statement. He was around about two thousand years ago. He included himself as one of those who were alive when Jesus came back. All of the disciples and several others (according to Acts, up to 500) saw Him after He returned.

According to Revelations and several other books in the Bible, He will come in the flesh again. This time He will be on a white horse and a sword proceeds out of His mouth and slays those that are left on the earth. I do not think that you want to be here on earth when that happens. All of those who belong to Him will be with Him at that time.

This is all in the flesh. If you have been born again in the Spirit of God, then you know that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. He is here to gather those who belong to Him unto Himself. This is all in the Spirit.

If you have not received the gift of the Holy Spirit then you do not see that Jesus is come in the flesh. The Bible says only those who are filled with that Spirit will know that He is here.

If you have not received this gift and do not know this, then I suggest that you pray and repent of your sin. Then I suggest that you ask Jesus for this precious gift. If you are true in your heart about your repentance and desire to be subject unto His rule, then Jesus will give you this gift. Then you also will know that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. You will live in the Spirit. You will not think I am crazy because you will also be crazy, according to those still in the flesh.

I hope for you that you are considered crazy and are hated by the world. It means that you belong to the one that they considered crazy and hated long before you. He is Jesus Christ and He is come in the flesh.

Morals and Modern LIfe

2007-08-12T13:46:00.000-05:00

I am amazed at the lack of morals in this world today. There have always been those who had few morals but nowadays it is ridiculous.

Morals are the common fear of God of a society as a whole. There have always been those with high morals conscience and those with low moral conscience. I have never seen nor even heard of so many as there are today with no moral conscience.

Before Jesus came to this world, if you were one of God’s people, you had strong morals or you paid the price. The penalty for breaking most of God’s laws involved your life or your health. People had high morals out of fear of repercussions even if they were too ignorant to fear God.

The only repercussions people fear now is the law. They seem to have no fear at all of God. In this country it is taught that God is way off in Heaven. Jesus will come back one day off in the future but for now we don’t have to fear God. He is too far away. God’s laws are only vaguely represented in the laws of this country. The law frowns on killing unless they want you to kill. The law also frowns on stealing unless you do it in court or on your taxes. There is nothing in our laws that prohibit fornication, adultery, blasphemy, heresy, envy, wrath, malice, hatred, anger covetousness or worshipping false idols. The only thing that people fear is not having enough money to buy their way out of breaking the law.

One of the main reasons for this moral decay is the fact that virtually every person owns or has access to television.

Virtually every opinion that people have about anything that does not pertain to them directly was given to them by television. Through actual images, this magic box keeps us abreast of the latest news all over the world. It teaches us what to do in virtually every situation that could possibly or impossibly come up in our lives. It lets us look at all of the most seedy, sinful and terrible things without actually being seedy, sinful or terrible. It tells us what to buy, how to dress, what we should look like, whom we should love, whom we should hate and even what we should fear. It does this with actual images of the same that we can see with our own eyes and hear with our own ears.

We actually trust our own lives and the lives of our children to the teachings of this box. Satan is called the prince of the power of the air. This prince has chosen to “enlighten” mankind with the knowledge that things travel on waves in the air. This is what allows a voice to be heard some distance from where it is spoken. It allows a light to be picked up by an eye at even greater distances. It allows smells to be picked up by your nose and so on.

In one hundred years we have went from being a society of individuals whose knowledge went only as far as each set of eyes could see to being a society as a whole earth, looking into things that are going on all over the world and judging them. We actually went from the beginning to one hundred years ago without much change in the way that life was lived.
Not very much of the way we lived life one hundred years ago is still the way we live life today. We have allowed our lives to be dictated to us by the power of the air. We all know who the prince of this power is.

This society that we live in has given itself over to this power completely.

Every single bit of information that you receive from this power is either a lie or it stems from a lie. Either way, there is no way possible for you to receive the Holy Spirit as long as you are still a part of this society. This teaching is so overpowering that it is necessary to go into a closet or get out away from it to hear from the Holy Spirit or to even gather a thought concerning spiritual matters.

I have heard the argument that God can use television to do good things.God would never confuse you by doing good things using the tools of Satan. God made all things. This includes Satan and anything he uses. If God wants any good things done, He will use His own immutable power to do it. As far as God’s war with Satan is concerned, He already won that before He actually made him. Satan’s war is not with God it is with you.

You cannot trust any information that you receive by the power of the air. If I tell you ten lies and one truth, of course, I am still a liar. I must tell you, if I tell you ten truths and one lie, I am still a liar. You cannot trust my information or me. You sure would not want me teaching you or anyone you love.

The only things that are of any value to you at this late hour are spiritual. You need these things desperately. The only source for them is the Holy Spirit. The only source for the Holy Spirit is Jesus Christ. Anyone or anything that tells you differently is a liar.

The flesh lusts or desires against the Spirit, and the Spirit desires against the flesh. The two are contrary or opposite of one another. Anything of the flesh is absolutely useless to you personally right now. As a matter of fact, anything fleshly that you take unto yourself is a great hindrance to you spiritually. By the same rule, anything that you take unto yourself spiritually is a great hindrance to your flesh. If you are gaining in any way in the flesh, you are losing in the Spirit. If you are gaining in any way in the Spirit, you are losing in the flesh.

The Holy Spirit told me that God never sells anything and Satan never gives anything away. Unless it is given to you without price it did not come from God. God does not give or have anything to do with money. If you have to exchange money to receive it unto yourself you got it from the other source. By this same rule, you now know where you got everything that you have.

I strongly suggest that if you wish to avoid learning the things of the Spirit the hard way, that you make the Spirit and the things of the Spirit the number one priority in your life immediately. If you have anything of the flesh that you have taken unto yourself that does not perish with the very using of it, I suggest that you find someone who would like it but is unable to get it for themselves, and give it to them. The Lord God is well pleased with such sacrifices. He will reward you with things of the Spirit. This is the world’s best bargain.

If you are still trying to better your position in the flesh or this world, I feel sorry for you. There is not enough time for you to accomplish your goals no matter what they are. Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. He has been made the King of Kings by God almighty. He is here to see who is going to accept His rule by faith in Him through obedience to His commandments. All the rest will be taught by God to accept His rule through great tribulation.

This is not a time for thinking about accepting Jesus Christ as ruler of your life. This is not a time for talking about accepting it. This is a time for doing your choice before the Lord Jesus Himself. Whether you choose to do the things of the Lord or the things of the flesh, it is your public testimony as to your choice before the Lord.

If you are going to accept the wondrous gift from Jesus Christ of being filled with the Holy Spirit, I strongly suggest you get started now. I suggest that you find a closet or other secluded place where you can put the cares of the flesh out of your heart. Then I would call on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ in repentance for the shameful way you have lived the life that you were given and for your failure to obey His commandments. Then I would humbly ask for His guidance as you go forth and do all of the things that He commands in the Bible. Then I would cast all of your fleshly cares on Him in faith that He can handle them and you cannot. Then I would, by contract of baptism, agree to put away the old ways of caring for the things of the flesh and be raised a new man who is loyal and obedient to the will of God through Jesus Christ to receive the Holy Spirit of God. The Spirit will lead you and teach you and guide you in the ways of the Spirit.

God is Spirit and those who worship Him must worship Him in Spirit and in truth. This must truly be your desire. If you do not truly desire to be ruled by Jesus Christ through the filling of the Holy Spirit, He will know and everything you do will come to no good. If your desire to be ruled by Him is true and you repent and do the things He says, Jesus is always faithful to do the things He says He will do. He will give unto you the Holy Spirit. You will be part of the church of the firstborn. You will look into and learn the things of the Spirit.

At the time appointed you shall be married unto the Lord Jesus Himself and shall be of one Spirit with Him forever.

This gift is everything you could ever possibly desire. It is given without cost or obligation to anyone who truly, in their heart, desires to be freed from the prison of sin and doubt that is your own fleshly life and are willing, by faith, to have this prison of death broken to pieces and removed from them. It is given to those whose lives are so messed up and without hope that they are willing to repent of this life and never look back.

The surrender of your life is not a sacrifice that you offer as payment for anything. It is a merciful gift from Jesus Christ to those of us whose lives were ruined by their own sin and bad decisions, so that we do not have to pay for our mistakes.

This offer is non negotiable and final. Do not be deceived into buying some bargain counter offer sold to you by some circus barker religious salesman. This is the only offer on the table. Search the scriptures yourself. Do not just search for something you want to hear. Listen to what the scriptures are saying to you. If you can read, you do not need any help with this.

Do not trust anyone or anything but Jesus Christ with this matter. Be completely humble and honest with Him. You will find that Jesus Christ was all that you ever needed.

I pray in the name of Jesus Christ that all evil influence would be cast from you as you consider this offer. This is the greatest gift that has been or ever will be offered and this is the last time that it will ever be offered.You must make your choice now.

Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. The Kingdom of God has come upon you.

May the great hope, joy, and peace that comes with obedience to Christ Jesus be yours forever. May He always be your King and rule your life for time without end. Amen & amen.

Humility is Key

2007-08-10T03:52:00.000-05:00

When I sit and consider how Jesus Christ saved me from a terrible fate, I am filled with humility. I do not deserve to be filled with the Holy Spirit. I am extremely repentant of my life before the Lord saved me from it. I was in no way ready for Him when He came for me. I was not only a terrible sinner, (committing sin of such magnitude that I could not understand the gravity of it), but I also knew better. I was the most ugly of sinners that I have ever seen. I should be in hell for a very long time.

Jesus Christ saved me by offering His own flesh, which was untarnished by sin, unto God, in exchange for my worthless sinful soul. I am and shall always be humbled and grateful for this magnificent gesture. Needless to say, since the King of Kings purchased my life with His own blood, it no longer belongs to me.

The Lord Jesus left in my heart the shame of my past sins. This was not only so I would remember not to commit them but also it would keep me from being overcome by one of my worst enemies in this new life, pride.

When you consider that you are filled with the Holy Spirit of God, humility is extremely important. You must always be humble and obedient to His instruction.

Pride is a terrible enemy. It is an enormous hindrance to your growth in the Spirit. Pride has been presented to you by the world as being not only good but also necessary. You must have pride in your country, your appearance, your work, your family and even yourself. It is even taught that you must be proud of your “Christianity”. This is all a blasphemous lie.

Pride is sin. Where there is sin, there is every nasty evil thing on the earth. You cannot be proud and filled with the Holy Spirit at the same time.

One must be completely humble to be ready to receive the Holy Spirit. My shame over my past sins has been a wonderful ally in my struggles with pride. When I am tempted for some stupid reason to be proud, the shame of my past sins and the mercy of Jesus to save me from them come to mind. Then instead of pride, I am filled with a humble thanksgiving for the thing which I thought to be pride worthy. All glory belongs to Jesus Christ.

If you are humble, this next part will be easier to understand. If you are not humble, you need to be.

When we are confronted in any way, humility can be our best friend. Because of my beliefs, I am often times confronted by those to whom my testimony is a conviction. They find themselves confronted by the Word of God through the Holy Spirit. Those that are not repentant and open to the instruction of the Spirit, are sure not going to confront God or Jesus. Therefore they confront the messenger. I have asked the Holy Spirit about this and this is His answer.

When we are subject unto the Holy Spirit and we find ourselves confronted in any way, we should immediately be fully aware of the presence of Jesus Christ. We should therefore be completely humble.

If you have chosen to accept the most wonderful gift ever given, then your life is no longer in your own feeble hands. It was paid for by the torture and murder of the perfect fleshly life of Jesus Christ, God’s own Son. With that sacrifice, He saved your soul. When you accepted His wonderful gift, you gave unto His strong hands the rest of your fleshly life on this earth. This life in the flesh that we are living, as long as we are on the earth, belongs entirely to Jesus Christ through the willing obedience to the Holy Spirit of God.

When those who have chosen not to partake of the gift of Jesus Christ are faced with confrontation, they usually solve this problem by confronting it. This makes about as much sense as using a blowtorch to fight a house fire. Although I must confess it was my first reaction to any confrontation before I was born again. This never has a good result.

Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. He is here to receive the choice of each and every soul concerning His rule. All that mankind does, He now does it unto the Lord Jesus Christ. Contrary to religious teaching, this does not depend on whether or not they accept it. This is just a fact.

If we have chosen to accept His marvelous gift, then our part in the choosing is over. We are now only witnesses of the coming of the Lord and our testimony must be honest concerning what we see. All of the rest is between each soul and the Lord Jesus Christ.

When we are confronted by anything, it is not time to talk or act. It is time to listen. Since our lives now belong to Jesus, they are now confronting Him. We must be ready to do whatever the Holy Spirit tells us to do. What the Spirit tells us to do is usually the opposite of what we would do.

Jesus Christ is not here to contend with mankind about anything. He is here to hear the choice of mankind concerning His gift. All the rest has been taken care of by God before He even made the earth. In the beginning God created the Heavens and the earth. He had not made the earth but He had already created the way that it would go from start to finish.

We must never be ready to contend or confront anything. Always be ready to forgive and have compassion for those in contention. If they steal from you, never try to get it back. If they hit you, never hit them back. When we love and have compassion for those who contend with us, the Lord is well pleased. When the Lord is pleased, you cannot lose.

The gift that the Lord gives is given because of His mercy on you. It is a gift and there is no price. He does not want you to do anything for Him. All of the commandments of God and Jesus are for your own great benefit. They are not sacrifices you must make.

Suppose you own a house and it collapses on top of you and you are buried in the debris and stuck. A stranger or a neighbor comes along and hears your cries for help. They immediately begin to take apart and remove the debris that is on you and free you from your prison. They are not tearing up your house and possessions. Your house and possessions are already torn up. They have now become your prison. Although it took considerable work and demolition of the remains of your house, it was an act of true unselfish kindness to free you from it.

Your fleshly life is the same. When I began my life, it was full of hopes and dreams and seemed real nice most of the time. As I lived it, sin and corruption kept eating away on it until it finally all caved in on me. My hopes and dreams became disappointment and obligation. What used to be my happy life became my prison.

The Lord Jesus Christ came along and started removing all the debris that was my life. He completely tore apart and removed my entire past life. He was not tearing it up or wrecking my life. It was already torn up and wrecked. Instead of my life, it had become my prison. It took considerable longsuffering and work to remove it and free me from it. This was a true act of unselfish kindness and I shall be forever grateful.

Jesus Christ didn’t stop there. After freeing me from the trash pile that was my life, I was homeless. The Lord took me in and let me live with Him. He has never left me or forsaken me. He has worked side by side with me and helped me to rebuild a life that will never collapse or corrupt. He has paid all of the bills and has not asked for anything in return but thanks.

I am and shall always be thankful. I am awe struck and humbled by this unbelievable act of love and mercy by the King of Kings. I truly love the Lord God and will serve Him with a true heart forever and ever.

I hope for you that you have or will accept His gracious offer to help you.

May the love, joy and great peace that comes with obedience to Christ Jesus be with you forever. Amen & amen.

Where is the Wisdom?

2007-08-09T21:30:00.000-05:00

Once again I am writing about a very touch subject. Since I myself am nothing but a useless mass of flesh, I am writing this by commandment of the Holy Spirit. Therefore I must tell you again that the Kingdom of God has come upon you.

Please pray and consider what is said before you react, because of fear or natural instinct or religious teachings that you have learned.

All natural or common wisdom, that we are created with, appeared to be lost to me, as I witness the world we live in. The Holy Spirit told me that it was not lost. God took it away at the request of mankind himself.

Mankind brought nothing into this world. He gets everything, including his own flesh, from somewhere else. This includes wisdom. Wisdom of any kind even concerning fleshly matters is spiritual. Loving the things of the flesh and the desire to remain in the flesh requires a serious lack of wisdom.

I cannot tell you how many times in my own life that I have requested a lack of wisdom so that I could have the things that I lusted after in the flesh. I knew better than to fornicate, love money, lie, cheat, steal or be proud, but I wanted these things so I would cast off wisdom.

Wisdom comes from God. Since you were put here in the flesh by God to gain wisdom, putting it away for your fleshly gain always has tragic results. Even the most basic of true wisdom is a gift from God. You must receive it with thanksgiving and cherish it as the priceless gift that it is or you will lose it.

I heard someone say lately “I would like to see a real live ‘Praise God’ miracle”. That is like sitting in a boat in the middle of the ocean and saying you would like to see water. Every single thing that you have seen or ever will see or that you ever have knowledge of including yourself was brought about by a real live ‘Praise God’ miracle.

If a two year old toddler could read at a third grade level and do his multiplication tables through five and knew all of the names of the fifty states he would probably be the smartest two year old ever. If left on his own, however, he would still not last long in this world. No matter how smart he is for two years old, he is still only a baby. He would still die without guidance from an adult.

In the Kingdom of God, the oldest man on this earth is still only a baby. The smartest man on this earth is still way too ignorant to ever make it on his own. The healthiest man on this earth will still die. Without guidance from Heaven, none of us has any chance of making it beyond the limits that were set by God at the beginning.

You can read and study until your eyes wear out. You may become very smart concerning the things of this earth, but without a fear or respect of God, you have not even begun to be wise.

You can tear this world apart and study the smallest parts with your microscopes and experiment with the workings of it until you can harness the waves in the air, cook your food in five minutes, get from Los Angeles to China in twelve hours and blow up whole cities with one bomb. You still cannot even begin to understand how this earth, in its entirety from start to finish and every microscopic aspect of it, could be made or created in just six days. The wisest of man’s thoughts and doings are foolishness to God. The foolishness of God is way wiser than any man could understand.

The things, which make life easier, more peaceful and joyful, are free but rare. The things, which make life a struggle and add to your anger and sadness, cost a lot and are quite plentiful. Does anyone see anything wrong with this picture?

“God may have created me and He may be willing to explain to me who and what I am, but first and foremost, I am and I really need to get on with that first.” Does anyone see anything wrong with this picture?

“I am angry that so many people are angry. Let me live in peace or I will make war with you. I will cure being punched by another man by punching him. I am thankful for the things that I do not have to be thankful for. I hate people who hate me. I hate hatred in general. I would love to be loved. If we have a war, I’ll still strike first but if you love me then I’ll love you.” Does anyone out there see anything wrong with these pictures?
If you do not partake of the wisdom that is given by God through His Son Jesus Christ, then you have no wisdom at all. Even the wisdom that was given by God to all of mankind is cast away or traded for crap.

“ I may be God’s grandest creation and I may be made to be much higher than the life that I temporarily live, but first and foremost I am living this temporary life.” This is the opposite of the way you should be. You may indeed be a parent, teacher, provider, spouse, boss, preacher or anything else in this world, but first and foremost you are God’s grandest creation and you are made to be much higher than this life you temporarily live and this will be forever.

All the wisdom that you possess now, if you do not fear God, is taught to you by the world that God hates. The same world that hated Jesus Christ, God’s own Son, and murdered Him. It is the kingdom of Satan, who hates you. It is preached to you daily by television and computers. This is the wisdom of the flesh. It is against the true wisdom of the Spirit. It is earthly, sensual and devilish. Being wise in the flesh makes your spirit retarded. Being wise in the Spirit seriously retards your flesh.

The happy days of the flesh are seriously numbered. You do not want your flesh teaching you anything. Science has learned to repair at about one percent of the rate it is destroying trying to learn it.

If you ever hope to be wise, you are going to have to repent of the teachings of the flesh that you have learned and live unto. Then you are going to have to call upon the Lord Jesus Christ who is come in the flesh. You will have to come unto Him as a child, knowing nothing and surrender your entire self to His capable hands and be obedient. Then you will be receptive to the teachings of the Holy Spirit of the one true God, who makes all things. You will begin to be wise.

If you do not, I am sorry to tell you that all the teachings of the flesh are lies. There is no wisdom or science that will save this earth. You were put in this world to learn what God hates and why He hates it. You will not come out of the flesh until you learn it and repent of it.

Don’t be deceived into thinking that you are going any place else until you love every single commandment of God and Jesus and not only keep them as your own, but are thankful for them. You will humble yourself before God and Jesus and will give them glory and honor. Until you do, you are not going anywhere.

Your death will not hinder your life one little bit either way you go. Your life is significantly longer than you can ever imagine.

Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. If you are going to partake of His mercy, now is the only time you will have to do it. If you don’t, His loving influence on this world will go and you will not. You will be stuck here with nothing but your own fleshly wisdom. It won’t be pretty.

I pray that all evil outside influence be cast from you as you make your decision. The Kingdom of God has come upon you.

May the joy and peace that comes with obedience to Christ Jesus be with you forever. Amen & amen.

The Flesh is Not Your Friend

2007-08-05T16:05:00.000-05:00

I must tell you before I even start writing about this subject that the Kingdom of God has come upon you. I am writing this by commandment of the Holy Spirit. This information is for your great gain although it goes against every natural instinct that you have. Therefore, however it is that you pray, ask God for guidance in this matter. Try not to respond with your natural instincts before you consider what was said.
The flesh is not your friend.
For your entire life, for teaching purposes, your closest friend has been your flesh, that wondrous vehicle that has carried you from birth to the place where you are today. Through thick and thin it has always been there for you. It’s been with you so long that it is hard to tell where it stops and you begin. To most people, it is you.
The Holy Spirit told me that the flesh is like a glove that you put on for a specific dirty task. The soul is like your hand that the glove was put on to protect. The spirit is the body and mind that told the hand what to do. After the task is complete, the glove is to be discarded but you and your hand will go on with your life.
Your flesh was given to you by God to teach you about sin and other temporary things like death and Satan. This vehicle is flesh. It is therefore subject to the flesh. This fleshly world that we live in is the kingdom of Satan. All fleshly things of this world have been put away and denounced by the entire Kingdom of God. No fleshly thing from this world will ever enter God’s Kingdom. Again, God hated this world so much that He gave it to Satan.
In their serious ignorance, Satan and one third of all of the angels in heaven rebelled against God and tried to overthrow His Kingdom. Of course, since God made all things, the only thing that their revolt had any effect on was their own existence. Satan and his angels were banished from Heaven to the earth and this world until a time appointed when Satan, his angels, this world and everything that is not perfect shall be thrown into the fire and done away with, once and for all time.
Satan is cursed with a kingdom that is temporary. Since he and his angels are now a part of it, they are also temporary. The only things on this earth now that are not temporary are your soul and spiritual things. All flesh will perish when it is finished being used by God. The things that God once gave to man now belong to Satan because of mankind’s lack of thanksgiving.
The only thing on this earth now that God loves is you. Since Satan has been banished from the Kingdom of God, he is no longer God’s enemy. He has turned the focus of his hatred for God on the only thing on this earth that God loves, you.
Contrary to popular belief, Satan can in no way touch your soul. Satan and his angels are banished spirits. They are in spiritual form but subject to serious restrictions concerning the souls of mankind, which were purchased by the blood of God’s own Son, Jesus Christ. All souls now belong to Him. You can believe that in the hands of the King of Kings, all souls are quite safe from Satan.
You are also a spirit. You are confined in a fleshly vessel to control you as you learn what kind of creation that you are. Satan also cannot touch your spirit. However since Satan and his angels are spirits, they can reach you on that level.
The only powers that Satan and his angels have is ownership of the temporary world you temporarily live in and their complete lack of hope and thereby morals. Whether he tempts you into disgracing the name of the Lord or tortures you into it, either way, he has no remorse. He has hated you since Adam.
Satan was the most beautiful angel that God ever made. In his vanity, he became very proud of himself. Then God made man in His own image to become, in the Spirit, higher than the angels. Satan has hated you ever since you were made. That is why he mounted a rebellion against God.
Satan does not try to get you to disgrace the name of the Lord to get at God or Jesus. He knows that disgracing Jesus is bad for your soul so he does it because he hates you.
Satan uses his kingdom to tempt and deceive you into not accepting the gift of Jesus Christ. This gift is freedom from the confines of the flesh and this world and the filling of your own vessel with the Holy Spirit of God. All things in Heaven and earth, including Satan, his angels, and his entire kingdom are subject to that Spirit. You are subject to that Spirit whether you accept it or not.
All the things that go on in this world right now are a perfect plan of God to show His greatest creation, mankind, all of the things that He hates. God made all of those things temporary so that we do not lose our hope of a perfect existence with God. Because this entire world is a perfect plan of God, you are not expected to change any of it, the only part of this entire world that you are expected to change is you.
This goes against all of our vanity and pride. This goes against all religious teachings. It goes against every natural instinct that we possess, but remember that you have been told that the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, these things are foolishness to the natural man. Satan and his angels take many forms in the flesh to deceive you and keep you from receiving the gift of the Holy Spirit. Because of this deception, the natural man is constantly trying to fix or change the unchangeable things of God.
You have this fleshly life so that you can learn the things that God hates and why He hates them. Therefore you yourself can stop doing them. When you do stop doing them, you see the great peace and joy that those things kept you from. Then you become a witness to why God hates them.
A common misconception is that Satan can make you sin. This is not so. Satan and his angels can tempt you and lie to you but they can’t make you do anything. You sin when you are tempted of your own lusts and enticed.
When we listen to our desires of the flesh we open ourselves to sin. The desires of the flesh are against the desires of the Spirit of God. The desires of the Spirit of God are against the desires of the flesh.
Sin is anything that is against the will of God. When we give in to our desires in the flesh, we go against the desire or will of the Holy Spirit, which is of God, we commit sin. Where there is sin there is every terrible thing that is on this earth.
If ever there was a moment in your life that you were not suffering the effects of the mistakes and sin that you have committed and in torment, it is because Jesus Christ is come in the flesh and His grace and mercy still abides here. He is the only thing between you and hell. I am even talking to them who have been deceived into thinking they were righteous.
If you truly were righteous and you were subject to all of the commandments of God and Jesus, then you would be filled with the Holy Spirit. You would not be deceived into thinking that there are any righteous in this world except Jesus Christ. It is only the great love and longsuffering of Jesus for you that you are given this last chance to consider this wonderful gift He has offered without being tormented constantly by the fruits of your own iniquity.
Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. He is intently listening for anyone to obey Him and partake of His wonderful gift. But make no mistake this is your last chance!
As you look around and see the terrible sinful state of this world and even of ourselves, you have to admit that Jesus Christ has been more than generous in His longsuffering and forgiveness for mankind and that includes you.
Now is the only time that you will be given this opportunity. There is no time left for you to consider whether or not it is the right thing to do. You are just going to have to trust the Lord Jesus and do it.
If you have not been already, you are about to be bombarded with the cares of the flesh. Your flesh does not like this gift of Jesus one little bit. Your flesh is very afraid of this. This gift is the death of your flesh. For the rest of your insignificant life as you know it, your flesh will be subject unto the Spirit of God which it lusts against. This is not a good thing for your flesh. It is a wonderful thing for your soul and spirit however.
Remember, you have been carefully programmed by Satan, his angels, and your own flesh to react and care for the things of the flesh. Jobs, family, friends, illness, heartache, the law, shopping, working, feeding, kids, husbands, wives, television, computers, politics, church, the poor, your yard, your house, your car, your health, the health of those you love, finances, moneys, and not to mention, death are but a few of the cares of the flesh that will be against you receiving the Holy Spirit.
The flesh would argue, “What about the commandments of God concerning our flesh?” The Holy Spirit is quite aware of all the commandments. He would never lead you into temptation but will deliver you from all evil. You were not able to keep any of these commandments anyway, only do some of them sometimes. You are never sacrificing any righteousness by accepting the gift of the Lord Jesus Christ. In fact you have increased it one million fold.
People are waiting for something terrible to happen to them before they commit to the gift of Jesus Christ. If you do not commit to Jesus Christ, something terrible has already happened to you. This is your last call.
Do not be deceived into thinking that because the Walmart is still open and you are still able to make a salary and take care of your family and churches are not excited, that it is not your last chance. This would be a big mistake.
Jesus will give you this gift because you are repentant for your sin and love Him for giving it to you and are extremely grateful to Him. He will not give it to you because the Walmart is closed and there is nothing left for you here.
If you do not take this gift now, with a true heart unto the Lord Jesus, you will not receive this gift.
Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. He is listening so make your choice.
I look forward to, very soon, seeing all of you that have chosen the gift of the Lord Jesus Christ at His wedding. It will be the greatest party that all of creation has ever seen.
I pray that all evil influence would be cast from you, while you make your decision, in the name of our Savior Jesus Christ.
May He always be your Lord and the great joy and peace that comes with obedience to Him be yours forever, Amen & amen.

Lamentations in the Valley of Decision

2007-07-27T06:36:00.000-05:00

I am chosen by the lord Jesus and filled with the Spirit of God and subject to that same Spirit. Because of this, I must now prophesy of a very personal lesson that I am being taught.
I was a terrible man before the Lord Jesus saved me from that life. I enjoyed confrontation. I stayed at odds with every person I knew most of the time.
From the time that the Lord saved me from myself until now, I have been learning to love all of those people. It was not as hard as you might think because all of the people I knew were better people than me.
I learned to truly love my wife, my children, my brothers and sisters, my precious mother and father, my friends and even my enemies.
Through much teaching of the Holy Spirit I eventually learned to love every person I met and even those I have not met.
I am very grateful for this gift. I am extremely grateful to learn that Jesus Christ loves them more than I do. This knowledge keeps my grief at a tolerable level as the time of the choosing is upon us.
Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. Therefore every single person must choose once and for all whether they are going to be subject to the Lord Jesus Christ or they are going to be subject to the flesh.
I watch as people testify of their choice through the actions of their lives. This gives me grief because after witnessing the great joy and peace that comes with being filled with the Holy Spirit. I cannot help but to wish for that same joy and peace for those that I love.
The world is in a terrible state. Satan is pulling no punches in his battle to persecute God’s greatest creation, mankind. It is impossible to keep your heart and soul focused on the affairs of the Spirit and not on the affairs of the flesh without the continual chastisement and teaching of the Holy Spirit.
The lusts of the flesh are against the desires of the Spirit and the desires of the Spirit are against the lusts of the flesh. The two are contrary one to another. There is no way that you can do both.
When I see the people that I love overcome by the affairs of the flesh, I become concerned…
This is where the hard part comes in and the personal lesson that I was referring to at the beginning of this letter takes over.
As I told you before, these people were all better people than me. When I mention my concern and testify of what I am taught by the Spirit, I am met with defense. What is someone like me, who never did anything right, doing chastising or questioning them? They are immediately offended. They accuse me of judging and being ‘holier than thou’. They point out that I am no saint. They tell me that all I do is preach. From that time on, I am dreaded whenever we get together.
They never seek me out anymore. When we do happen to get together, all the conversation that we have carefully avoids anything having to do with God.
I do not deserve to live, let alone be filled with the Holy Spirit. I am not even holier than Satan, let alone thou. I am not a ‘preacher’. As a matter of fact, for the most part, I do not even like them. As for judging goes, I have judged all of them to be better than me. I did not even choose Jesus Christ, He chose me.
I didn’t want anything but to help. I only want to share the great gift that Jesus gave me. I want them to have the same great joy and peace that found me. So I was devastated by the responses.
The Holy Spirit said that when you listen to the Bible, because of the reward it mentions that you will receive from partaking of the gift of Jesus, it all sounds and feels really good despite all the warnings. When you begin to actually live it in this world, because of the warnings, it can be devastating to your faith.
He told me that in Revelations John saw an angel that had a little book. He was told to eat the little book. In his mouth it was sweet as honey but in his belly it was bitter. The Holy Spirit said that little book is the Bible. Receiving it is sweet to you but living it, here in the world, is bitter.
Jesus gives us great love and care for people that we know. We want them to have only wonderful things in their lives all the time. However there is no way that we can understand the magnitude and greatness of the creation that they are. They are made in the image of God, by God. They are made for Him, to live with Him forever and ever.
Before we can have anything to do with their lives, beyond this temporal vapor we call life on earth, they are going to have to answer to God.
It is commonly preached in religion as a scare tactic to get money and servitude from people that God made hell or the time of utter darkness where there is weeping and gnashing of teeth, so He could be angry and punish those He didn’t like forever. This is a blasphemous lie. In fact God made this time of great tribulation so He would not have to be angry and punish them forever.
God made this time because of the great love He had for mankind. It is a time where every single soul, by demonstration, will learn that the commandments of the Lord God are not just rules to keep you down. They are actually loving explanations of how to be free and live perfectly forever.
To avoid or shorten this time all we have to do is, by faith, accept all of these commandments and do them in our own lives. We must repent of the times we do not do them. Then, by demonstration, we will see the great joy and peace we receive by being in the favor of God.
You will not be able to do this in this God forsaken world without the help of Jesus Christ. I strongly suggest that you repent of your sins and call on His name in faith. You must believe that He is and that He rewards them that diligently seek Him. Otherwise all will be proved to you by God.
I repent of my frustration and fear. I hope that my sharing of this lesson has helped you in some way.
May the love and peace that comes with obedience to Jesus Christ be in you all. Amen.

Chapter 9

Every person on this earth, who has lived long enough to have morals, has a past. They have a memory of what they have done, said, and thought before now. According to those morals, they are either proud or ashamed of that past. Most, because of the past, are afraid to call on the Lord.
Morals are the fear of God of a society as a whole, whether it is a small society like a family or a large society like a kingdom or nation. There are a set of rules concerning right and wrong that are accepted by the society as a whole. Some within each society will have higher morals and some will have lower morals. This all depends on their beliefs of the consequence of doing wrong or the reward of doing right.
If a person feels that they have done more right than wrong, they may be proud of their past. They feel that when the good things they have done are weighed against the bad things they have done they will be left with a certain amount of rewards. If a person feels that they have done more wrong than right, they feel that when they are weighed against one another they will be left with a certain amount of punishment or consequence. They are ashamed of their past.
The weird thing is that those that feel that they are ultimately righteous are more likely to blaspheme God. They are not ashamed, when they pray, to demand of God some reward in the flesh for their righteousness. They will ask God for things of the flesh even though the things of the flesh are against the things of the Spirit.
These, that feel that they are righteous, see those that they feel are unrighteous with things of the flesh and think that they should be worthy of at least as much fleshly reward.
The Holy Spirit says that if the unrighteous, though they be unrighteous all of their lives, repent and begin to do those things that God has deemed righteous, God will remember their unrighteousness no more. They will be to God as righteous. To be fair, the Spirit also says that the righteous, though they be righteous all their lives, should turn and do unrighteousness their righteousness will God remember no more. They will be to God unrighteous.
According to God your past is not nearly as important as what you do right now and what you do from now on either way.

Chapter 10

The time to receive the gift of Jesus Christ is fast coming to a close. The day and hour no man knows but it does not take a genius to know that this world will not go on as it is going for very much longer.
Satan, because he knows that his time is short, has pulled all the stops. He has sent a flood of lies and misinformation to stop anyone from receiving the precious gift of Jesus Christ.
Through television, computers, internets, religions, governments, laws, taxes, insurance, jobs, houses, family, the environment, wars, hunger, poverty, riches, bank accounts, stocks, bonds, marriage, divorce, death and all the other things that we feel are important, it is hard to find the time to shoot God a prayer every now and then, let alone do all the commandments of Jesus Christ. It is not only hard, it is impossible. It would take more time than the world has to even get started. So I suggest that you do not even try if you hope to receive this wonderful gift.
If your hope is only to live forever and one day go to heaven, I have good news for you. Jesus Christ has already paid the price for your soul. If you are one of mankind, Jesus has already made arrangements for you to live forever.
There is a time coming that you will not only know and do the commandments of God, but you will learn firsthand the reasons for them. You will give account for every idle word you have ever spoken and God will correct you. When He is through with you, you will not only do these things because God tells you to, you will do them for your own benefit. These times will be so hard and terrible that even the most stouthearted and evil sinners will repent. NO matter how evil you are, there is plenty of time for you to learn to live forever with God.
If this is your lot then for the time being it is none of my business. Your time is coming and you are in good hands.

Chapter 11

If you feel that you would like to partake of the wonderful gift of Jesus Christ then I will tell you a few things to remember.
The King of Kings does not need you for anything. He has the entire Kingdom of God at His disposal. His every wish is acted upon by that Kingdom, which includes an innumerable company of angels or ministering spirits, any one of which is greater than a thousand fleshly men. He does not need you to do anything for Him but you will need Him to do everything for you from now on.
Every commandment of Jesus Christ is for your benefit not His. He does not tell you to do anything because He just wants it that way. He tells you because it is the easiest and best way for you, no matter how strange it might sound or impossible it might seem.
You must repent of your sinful life. Sin will not be tolerated in the Kingdom of Heaven ever again. Not just apologize, but repent. Repentance is finality. If you eat too much, you may apologize for that action. If you hit your bare big toe with a shop hammer, you will repent of that action. Sin is every bit as destructive to your well being as hammering your big toe.
You must confess your sins to Jesus Christ and anyone that they might have affected. Then you must repent of that sin and put it away from you. Without repentance there is no forgiveness of sin.
Then you must be baptized. Baptism is not a public declaration of your faith. If you wish to make a public declaration of your faith, then get out in the public and declare it. Baptism, like everything else Jesus tells you to do, is for your benefit. It is a contract between you and the Lord God. It is you saying to Jesus that you are ready to die to your old way of life and to be raised up a new man who is ready to obey and receive the Spirit of God.
Do not take this act lightly. Understand before you are baptized that you are saying to God that you are agreeing to have your life turned upside down. Life as you know it will never be the same.
You have lived a fleshly life. All that you know to this point is what you have been taught by the flesh. The flesh and the spirit are completely contrary to one another. Your life, as you know it, will be completely torn down. Every aspect of your life will be altered. Your family, your friends, your job, your standing in the community, even your own feelings will be forever changed.
To your flesh this will not feel like a good change. Things will happen during the tearing down of your life that will seriously concern you. Your baptism will remind you that it is not your business and to give it to the Lord. It will also remind you that it was your decision to partake of this craziness in the first place.
Pride is a great enemy to you in receiving this gift of Jesus Christ. You are insignificant and useless to anyone in your present state. So when dealing with matters of God, Jesus, the Spirit or anything else concerning the Kingdom of God, humility is key. Remember you want something from God almighty. You desire to receive a gift that angels wish they could receive. What you have in trade is nothing but your own miserable failure of a life.
You know less than nothing. If you knew nothing then it would only be a matter of teaching you the right things. But your soul is completely full of wrong information taught to you in the flesh by the enemies of God. You have an entire life of wrong teachings to be untaught before you can receive anything new.
You must be humble in every single aspect of your life. The truth is that before Christ you were a useless miserable failure in every way. To God, to Jesus, to your fellow man, even to your own friends and family you were completely useless. Since this is true and the Spirit never lies this will be your testimony in every aspect of your life from this time on.
If you can accept this fact of life then it can be changed by God. If you can’t accept it then there is nothing that can be done for you but what has already been done.
Without humbleness you can never have audience with the Lord God almighty.

Chapter 12

Another aspect of this gift that seems to cause a lot of confusion is that you will bring forth much fruit. I have heard all of the crap that is put out about what this means. The fruit that you shall bring forth is not souls that you will gather up or find for Jesus Christ. The souls of mankind are way over your head. Even the simplest of souls are far too complicated for you to understand, let alone judge and gather for Christ. Jesus Christ knows every single soul and is fully capable of judging them and dealing with them without the help of useless you.
The fruits of the Spirit are love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness and temperance. These are the fruits that you must bear or put forth. What happens because you bore this fruit is none of your business at this time. Your business is to bear this fruit because the Lord Jesus desires you to do it. The reward for this is the same reward you were looking for in the first place, the gift of being accepted by the Lord Jesus Christ.
If you expect this bearing of fruit to have a good effect on your fleshly life, I am afraid you are in for a disappointment. Jesus Christ bore more of these fruits than you will ever be able to bear and you know what happened to Him. You cannot expect it to be different for you.
If you are accepted by Jesus Christ and chosen by Him to receive this wonderful gift then your life, as you know it in the flesh, is about to be turned upside down. You will be hated, ridiculed, mocked, cast out, dreaded and considered by those in the flesh to be insane. Never fear. In the flesh you shall have great tribulation but in your soul you shall have a peace that far surpasses the understanding of man. No matter what comes up in your life, you will have the confidence of knowing that you are watched and cared for by the Lord God.
No matter how dark and troubled the story of your life becomes, you will have the great peace of knowing that the last page of your book says: and they lived happily ever after. Forever.
I am withholding my name from this writing. Not because I am afraid, in any way, of the consequence. I am a miserable, useless insect of a man. I do not deserve to be filled with the Spirit of God. I do not want any money, credit, glory or admiration for writing it. I am merely doing what I am told to do by Jesus Christ. He is the only one who has this gift. I pray that you will make the right decision. That is all that I have to give you.

Chapter 5

The love of money is the root of all evil. This statement bothers a lot of people. The reason this bothers most people is because the whole world is now set up on money. The more you have the more things you can buy. You don’t have to worry about your bills. The more you have the more you can help others. Your family will be better taken care of. Your life will be easier. These are all good reasons to love money. These are all also lies.
Nowadays everything on the earth is for sale. The reason for that is that Satan owns the world. He knows that the love of money is the root of all evil and he knows that with a price on everything most people will love money.
If your bills are due and you don’t have enough to pay them, you long for that amount. If after longing for it you receive it, you will love that money. Money takes care of you, comforts you and you think that with enough, you will live in peace, that’s true love. This world is completely set up to make you love money. Therefore you have the root of all evil. Satan has no trouble keeping you at odds with God. Once you have given in to the notion that money can solve any of your problems then you are in a position to commit sins you would never commit otherwise.

Chapter 6

I have found a very serious dilemma in my life. When you are filled with the Holy Spirit, you are completely subject to the word of God. The only place that the chosen have no honor is in their own place. That is a hard statement to swallow.
I know that every single person believes there is a God whether they admit it or not. If God Himself actually came to you in all His glory and took you to Heaven and told you a mystery of life itself, how many people would you tell? Consider your opinion of all the people who have told or would tell you the same thing. If they told you once and didn’t believe it themselves, you might think they just had a dream or were touched or something and it would be cool to you. If they persisted with it and started living to it and you were not, you would think or hope that they were insane or worse they would say you were filled with an evil spirit.
I am stuck with the fact that I was chosen by Jesus Christ. I was a miserable creature throughout my life and the only reason I could get was that He loved me. He told me that He had filled me with the Holy Spirit of God which was His spirit. He told me that Spirit would tell me everything to do and answer all my questions from that time on.
He told me that I would not have to fret about right or wrong anymore. If I was against the will of the Spirit, He would correct me and He’s always right. To be chastised by the Spirit of God is not a burden we bear, it is a precious gift. I am forever thankful and subject to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
The Spirit also told me that I was free from having to judge anyone but myself. He said that if my testimony could help others in any way, I should give it instantly and honestly. If it did not help, it was none of my business and that it was between them and God.
To all of the people who knew me before Jesus saved me, I am insane or a liar. All of my life, before I was saved and chosen, I was a terrible liar. I would lie about everything. I would even lie when there was no reason for it. I would make up big windy tales to make the story more interesting or usually to make myself look better or to get out of some trouble I had made for myself. The trouble was usually because I had lied about something else.
This story of being saved and chosen by Jesus Christ and being filled with the very Spirit of God is more fantastic and wild than any lie I have ever told, even though it is true. So I cannot really blame or judge anyone who thinks it’s just another lie or that I have gone off the deep end. In the beginning I even wondered the same thing myself.
I thank the Lord with all my heart and soul and life that it is all true. I say to all those who knew me and anyone else don’t trust me. I am nothing and I have nothing for you. Everything that I know or have I received from Jesus Christ. The things I say are not my words. They are in the Bible or they are just a true testimony of what happened to me.

Chapter 7

You must believe in the Lord Jesus Christ. To find Him, although He’s not far from anyone, you must believe the Word of God. This will require faith. Faith is the actual tangible substance of the things that we hope for and the actual evidence of the things we have not seen. Faith is not earned or learned. It is a gift from God. It comes from hearing the Word of God. If you don’t have any faith or you don’t have enough, I strongly suggest that you ask God for it, in the name of Jesus Christ. I would also strongly urge you to read the Bible and don’t just read it but listen to what it is saying.
Since Jesus Christ came in the flesh, God is not religiously worshipped in any way. There are no puzzles to figure out, incantations to recite, tithes to pay, weekly meetings to attend, or any other obligatory worship accepted by God.
There is only one high priest and that is Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God. He presides over the Church of the First Born of Christ. This church consists of God, Jesus, an innumerable company of angels and the souls of righteous men made perfect since the foundation of the world. It meets twenty four hours a day, seven days a week in the Spirit of God. If that Spirit is in you then it meets in you. Your body is the temple of the Lord. This is the only church that God accepts worship from.
Nowadays there are thousands of churches and hundreds of religions. No matter what a person wants to believe there is a church that will be glad to accept and exploit you. Most of them use the Bible in some manner. A lot of them use the name of Jesus Christ. They all collect money in some way. They all tell you that they can get you to heaven if you do this or don’t do that. Most say that they are God’s house and that you can go there to find Him. All of them exist because mankind is vain.
The prince of this world, Satan, hates God and loves to exploit the vanity of man. He is in charge of all religious worship. He knows that every person believes in God whether they admit or not. He knows that everyone wants to go to heaven when they die. He knows that mankind, in his vanity, wishes to find a way around the rules of God. Even though there is no way around God, Satan is happy to lie and provide that way. Man is easy to deceive without God.
Satan does not care if you go to church, pay your tithes, pray to an unknown god, eat crackers and drink grape juice or get dunked in water for a public declaration of your faith. In fact, as long as you believe a lie and as long as you do not accept the gift of Jesus Christ, it doesn’t matter to him which lie you believe. All religious worship of God is in the flesh. Since Satan is the prince of this world, as long as you are subject to the flesh you are subject to Satan.

Chapter 8

God is spirit. Those that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth. No man can do this of himself.
When Jesus came to this world, He gave a wonderful gift. Through Him, you can be forgiven of your sins and filled with the very Spirit of God. This means that you are no longer subject to the flesh. That Spirit makes it possible for you to be a member of the Church of the First Born of Christ. The Spirit dwells in you and you don’t need anyone to teach you. That Spirit teaches you of all things and He never lies. As the Spirit teaches, you are with Jesus and He is with you.
The reason that Satan does not care about religious worship is that when you are in the flesh you are subject to him. The reason Satan works so hard to keep you from being filled with the Spirit is becauseif you are filled with the Spirit of God, Satan is subject to you. He does not like to answer to anything so he will stop at nothing to keep you from receiving it.
Satan hates God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit and mankind, God’s greatest creation. Other than that Satan is not dumb. No matter how much you have studied or how old you are or how high your I.Q. might be, Satan is smarter than you. Satan does not appear as a fiery roaring demonic creature from hell. That would only scare you into seeking for God. Instead he appears as whatever you are most comfortable with. Satan is a spirit so he looks like anything that he wants. His favorite look is like a shining angel of light.
Satan and his army have been cast down by God. Therefore he has no power on earth except ownership of this world and deception. Make no mistake these are powerful weapons in the war to make you fail from receiving the gift and favor of God.
Everyone I know has an image of Satan sitting on a throne in hell with a few of his minions which he sends to the surface to torment bad people. This could not be further from the truth. This world, which we now live in, is his kingdom. As far as his army is concerned, he has an innumerable company of minions. Compared to Satan’s army there are only a few of mankind.
There are so many angels in the kingdom of God that there is not a number on earth to describe the amount. One third of this unimaginable number of angels, were cast down with Satan. There are plenty enough for each person to have many on just their case.
Satan is sly. He is described as the most subtle of enemies. He does not wish to make you uncomfortable in this fleshly life, unless it causes you to curse God for it. In fact, he would like for you to be so happy with your fleshly life that it is impossible for you to give it up and accept the gift from Jesus Christ of a new life.

Chapter 1
It has come not only to my knowledge but my very eyesight, hearing and any other senses that I might possess, that the world has been overcome by sin.
Sin is the transgression of the law. The law is those things which God has deemed right or wrong. If God says that something is right and you don’t do it, you have committed sin. If God said something is wrong and you do it, you have committed sin.
If you had your own perfect place, there would not be anything in that place that you did not like. Before you can ever have your own perfect place, you would have to understand that you were made by God to be in His perfect place.
Satan was the most beautiful angel God ever made. Because of his vanity, he mounted a rebellion against God. Since God made him and all things, he failed and was cast out of Heaven. When God cast Satan and those that had joined him in his rebellion out of heaven, He also cast everything that was not perfect to Him out too. Now everything in Heaven is perfect.
God gave Satan over to sin. He cast Satan to the earth. Since man was given to sin so was the earth. It was the perfect kingdom for Satan to rule. So God gave the earth to Satan.
The earth from its conception was made temporary. It exists until God is finished with it then it will be destroyed. It was designed by God to show mankind, (God’s greatest creation), sin and death. It was the perfect kingdom for Satan.
Satan has always hated man because man was made to be higher than angels in the kingdom of God. That is why Satan rebelled in the first place. The penalty for rebelling against God, considering God is life, would be death. Satan is temporary and so is the earth. The only thing here now that is not temporary is you.

Chapter 2

I was told by the Holy Spirit that the Lord God did not sell anything and that Satan does not give anything away. The Spirit said that there were only two places to get anything in this world. One is to receive it from God who made all things and the other is to get it from the prince of this world, Satan.
Man was made so he brought nothing into this world. Therefore he gets everything from somewhere else. If you are obedient to God then it is His great pleasure to GIVE you the things you need and desire. If you are obedient to Satan then it is his pleasure to SELL you the things that you lust after.
If you live unto God in the name of Jesus Christ, filled with the Holy Ghost, then you must be thankful to God for everything that is given to you in life. If something comes up that you are not grateful for, you must stop, take a look at it, pray about it and find out whether it should be repented of and put away from you or you learn that it is some gift from God and you learn to be grateful for it. If we, who are called, are ungrateful to God in the presence of mankind, we put forth a very bad testimony that defiles many. If we are thankful then God takes care of us one day at a time. We receive wonderful things from God that are everlasting and He takes care of our needs that are temporal.
God does not give as the world gives. Money is NOT of God. He never gives money. God may allow you to labor with your hands so that you will have somewhat to give to those in need in the flesh. But He would never wish for you to have anything to do with money for the purpose that you will have anything. There is no need for you to take care of yourself in any fashion. You are to take care of others only. God will take care of you.
If God has not given you a thing that you have asked for, there is a very good reason why. If you turn to the other source because God has not given it to you and instead you buy it from Satan, the pleasure you receive from it, if any, will pale in comparison to the burden it will cause you to bear in the flesh.
God and Satan are the opposite of one another. God is everything and made everything. Satan is nothing and he made nothing. Everything God does for you are because He loves you. Everything Satan does to you is because he hates you. God has a plan for you that is for your ultimate happiness. Satan has a plan for you that is for you ultimate downfall. God gives gifts that are good and everlasting. Satan sells things that are ultimately bad for you and are all temporary.

Chapter 3

Everything in the flesh deteriorates or dies. Every animal, bug, plant, even mountains and rocks eventually die. You are born in the flesh. So from your beginning you have been dying. Since the day you were born, the sand has been running out of your hourglass.
In our ignorance, we think that life is the time between when we are born and when we die. This does not make sense since to us, concerning God. At the time when we know the least, we have the most life. By the time that we have experienced enough of life to gain wisdom, we have that much less life and are closer to death.
You must understand that you are created to last forever. You were put in this temporary world and in this temporary body to gain wisdom. You are a soul and a spirit. Your soul and spirit are everlasting. You have this temporary body to learn about things that are bad to everlasting life, without having any everlasting effect on your soul or spirit. If a child wants to learn how to paint and you have an old shed that you are going to tear down anyway, you might let that child start by painting that shed. If he does poorly or messes up it doesn’t matter. The shed was temporary anyway. He learns better how to paint and any mistakes he might make learning it gets torn down with the shed.

Chapter 4

If you have not read the bible then I suggest that you get started. A real good place to start is in Matthew chapters 5-7. Jesus tells us all the basics of getting started pleasing God. It is important to know what pleases and displeases God. To know what god considers sin is very important to you.
If God tells you to do a thing and you don’t that is sin. If He tells you not to do something and you do, that is sin. It is not a sin because it will harm or bother God. It is a sin because it harms and bothers you.
God has had time without beginning to figure out what is good and bad. He is quite sure of His decisions and He won’t change His mind. Make no mistake you will not be happy until you agree with all of them. It is not enough that God tells you so you give in and do it. All the commandments of god are for your everlasting happiness. If you say to yourself “I don’t agree with god but I will do it anyway” you will eventually give into temptation and sin. The sign says “do or do not” signed God but before you are through learning the sign will say “do or do not” signed you.
We have no idea of the magnificence of what we are to God. He will not let you rest until you agree with everything He says always and forever. Time is nothing to god but it is very important to you. However much time, pain, sadness or whatever it takes that is what you will do.
There are easy and hard ways to learn everything. If you tell your child to duck, the easy way is for him or her to duck. They can find out why by watching others bang their heads or they can disobey you and when they have bumped their head enough times they will start ducking anyway. If you tell them not to play in traffic you don’t wait until they are smashed by a car to learn why you said it. If you catch tem doing it after you have told them, you should inflict minor damage to them so they don’t have to endure major damage to learn the reason why you commanded it.
If you don’t partake of the gift of the instruction of God, you will partake of the reason for it anyway.

an open letter to priests, preachers, teachers of the word and all of mankind

2007-07-16T17:50:00.000-05:00

The time for gathering the chosen of Christ is fast coming to a close. This brings a time of great tribulation for the rest of mankind. Most of mankind is not even aware of this ominous fact, let alone ready. One of the main reasons for this is because they have not been told. One of the main reasons they have not been told is because the preachers, teachers, priests or whatever they call themselves are not chosen of Christ, it is just their job.
Mankind has chosen to heap to themselves teachers who will say what they want to hear. They are paid large salaries and treated like kings. They love to be called reverend or pastor or father or whatever. They are looked at by the people as those who have favor with God.
The people gather together in large groups once or twice a week to have these “preachers” assure them of their passage to heaven and explain how they can have the riches of this world and Satan and still be in good standing with God because they shared it with Him by giving it to them.
They build huge fancy buildings with it and adorn them lavishly. Then they “deed” these buildings to God and call them His house. The fancier and larger the building the more God will be impressed with it and the more likely He is to live there and overlook their sin. The bigger the building the more people there are to contribute to this “Godly” pot.
The Lord God does not dwell in temples made by mans’ hands. He is never impressed by anything that man gives Him except praise, honor and glory for what He has given mankind.
I am not a preacher, priest, reverend or anything. I am a miserable useless insect of a man who was saved from my own stupidity only by the grace and mercy of the Lord Jesus Christ. I am not ordained by any organized religion. I have been filled with the Holy Spirit and chosen by the Lord. I do not deserve any of this wonderful gift. In fact I deserve to be in a place of weeping and gnashing of teeth in utter darkness. I was saved from this terrible fate only by the mercy of Jesus Christ and I am and will always be eternally grateful.
I am a witness to the fact that even a rotten lousy sinner like me can be forgiven and chosen of the Lord and filled with His Holy Spirit. It is that Spirit who puts it in my heart and helps me to write this to you. That is why I must tell and warn you that the Kingdom of God has come upon you.
Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. The dreaded and wondered about day that everyone is waiting for is here. If you are going to stop using His name for fleshly gain, now is the last time you will have to repent and will have to cease to do it. If you do not, your fate is worse than the fate of those you lie to and exploit. If you do, I am a witness to the fact that the Lord will forgive you and change your very soul.
I would hate it if I were not being chastised daily by the Holy Spirit for my part in any of what is going on in this world today.
Mankind has been telling God to leave them alone and not burden them with His laws and demands. As a whole they have the technology and control of their own surroundings and they want God to leave them alone about their sin. They want God to let them enjoy the treasures of that sin.
This is not some fanatical group or some high political agenda. This is every single soul that you meet. This is me if not for the constant chastisement of the Holy Spirit.
They feel that what God considers sin is not important compared to what mankind considers sin. It doesn’t matter that we commit fornication and adultery or love money or worship idols or blaspheme God, because we used recycled paper and quit smoking and go to church on Sunday and don’t judge. So basically, we are good people. God needs to worry about the bad people who do the things that we think are sin. The only ones that think our sins are bad are fanatics. The real sinners are the big money political leaders who cut trees and pollute the air and start wars and are a different religion than us. These are the real sinners because they are harming our world we love.
The preachers preach it. The teachers teach it. The world as whole accepts and prays it. I would be a part of it if not for the gift from the Lord Jesus Christ of the stern chastisement of the Holy Spirit.
Make no mistake, you will stop doing every single thing that the Lord God considers sin and repent of it. Otherwise you will partake of God’s answer to mankind as a whole.
Mankind’s failure to do the will of God and God’s willingness to let mankind see for themselves what happens when they are left to their own devices in a world that was made by Him, will send this world into a time of such tribulation that they will beg God to teach them His ways and be to them a God before this is through.
There is only one offer from God on the table. Anyone who tells you there is more is a liar. This is the offer from God and it is non-negotiable and final.
If you will truly confess your sins to God in the name of his only begotten son Jesus Christ and repent of your sinful disrespecting use of the life that was given to you by God and saved by Jesus Christ, and you will surrender your entire self to His capable hands and will, by faith, trust Him with the rest of your life, you shall be saved and have everlasting life. Then if you will agree, through the contract of baptism, to be subject unto the will of God through the commandments of His son Jesus Christ you will be given the Holy Spirit of God. This Spirit will live in your heart and soul and you will not need man to teach you anything. That Spirit will teach you about everything. You agree to obey the Spirit in all things, without question, no matter what the consequence. You will do this with the confidence that the Spirit never lies and always has your best interest at heart. If after being tried by that same Spirit, you are found worthy through obedience, then you shall be chosen of the Lord and shall be a part of His bride. While you remain in the flesh and for the rest of this vapor which is life on the earth, you shall be a witness to the fact that even a sinner like yourself can be given the gift. You will also be a witness to the power and inevitability of God and His commandments and the consequence of not obeying Him. This will cause you to be persecuted and hated by the world. You will be cast out and dreaded by churches and family and friends, but you will not despair. You shall be a part of the Church of the Firstborn unto Christ. Your very body shall be the temple of the Lord God. When this vapor of a life in the flesh is over this church shall be married to the Lord Jesus Christ Himself and shall be of one spirit with Him and thereby God forever. You will be called the children of god and will be the first generation of the very family of God forever and ever. Amen.
This is the only offer given by God to avoid the time of consequence for your sin which is coming on the whole earth. This shall be a terrible time of great tribulation. The length and degree of this time totally depends on your own resistance to the will of god. Make no mistake, this time will not end nor death interfere until, with your heart and soul, you agree with every commandment of God and His Son Jesus. Then you will forever praise His very name for the wonderful commandments you fought against so whole heartedly before.
Then you shall forever be to Him a people and He shall forever be to you a God. He will dry all of your tears and share all of your joys, and you shall praise His very name and give Him the glory and honor and He will make His own abode with you forever time without end.
This does not require any great elaborations. These are the only two options that there are available to mankind. Although the depths of them are immense, there are still only two choices.
Neither of these choices requires buildings, classes or great orations. They most certainly do not require money or business.
When Jesus walked the earth as a man, He was mocked, ridiculed, cast out, even mistreated and hung on a cross. One of the only times the bible mentions Him getting angry was when they were doing money exchanging business in the temple of God.
This is very personal. Each and every soul who can understand these choices must choose to surrender to the will of the Lord Jesus. Otherwise they have chosen the other option. Whatever your choice, it is no longer anyone else’s business except the Lord God and you.
If a person has not made this choice and been given this gift of Jesus Christ of the filling of the Holy Spirit, they have no business doing anything in the name of the Lord, but beg for forgiveness for their sin and repent of the same.
If you use the Lord’s name to better your position here in the kingdom of Satan, the world, the degree and length of your tribulation will be great.
I strongly suggest that if this is your case, that you immediately cease from this foolhardy action and ask for forgiveness from god and those whom you have used the name of the Lord to exploit and repent of this. Then I would fast and pray that perhaps you might receive the wonderful gift of Jesus Christ.
If you do not, there is nothing more that I can say or do for you. However I must tell you again that the Kingdom of God has come upon you and Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. So whatever you do now, you will know why the rest of your life is going to go like it does and believe this, it will be significantly longer than you can even imagine.
That is all I can say. The rest is between you and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Since you are all Bible scholars, I did not include scriptural references, but as you know, this is all in there.
May the eternal joy and peace that comes from obedience to Jesus Christ be yours forever.

God is your Father

2007-07-10T15:57:00.001-05:00

It is impossible, with the limited knowledge that we have, to comprehend God. All we have to go by is what we have learned as animals on the earth. The image we receive from those who have personal dealings with God is sketchy at best. Moses saw Him as a pillar of fire. Lot saw Him as One who could destroy entire civilizations without hand. He has been described many times and in many ways by witnesses. All we know as humans is that He is way too immense for us to understand.
I am a witness to the fact that the Lord God is too big and complicated for us to understand in the flesh.
As grown-ups, we are far too big and complicated for our little children to understand. If you have children then you know that their immediate future is not in their hands. Although a lot of how that future goes depends on what they do, the majority of their immediate future is in someone else’s control. Although what they think is important to them, it is far more important for them what you think as parents. On the other hand, what you think of them has a great deal to do with their comfort and contentment. The children’s will and plans, because they are children, do not influence your will and plans much, but your will and plans had better be considered before they make any plans of their own. If their plans are contrary to your plans, theirs will come to naught.
One thing I remember from well from childhood was when we moved across country. I was 12 and had lived in the same area since I was 3 or 4. I knew everybody on 2 blocks. I knew where I could and couldn’t go. I knew all the other kids at school. All my friends lived there. I was extremely comfortable. I did not want to move. After all my attempts at explaining and my attempts through crying, (even though my father was very strict) I even attempted refusing. None of these ploys even made a dent. My father’s mind was made up and that was it. So I was left with no other option than to talk with my father. I would say didn’t you like our house and friends and stated all the positive things I could think of. Why are we leaving all that for some place we know nothing about? It just didn’t make sense. My father said that there were issues and reasons involved in this move that I was just too young to understand. He said he sympathizes with my position but he could not make his decision based solely on my 12 year old opinion. He said this move was better for the entire family, including me. He said that I didn’t understand right now but I would understand later. He said I was just too young to be able to make it on my own, so I would have to trust him to do what was best for me and I would just have to do what I was told.
Jesus said that whosoever it was that did not come to Him as a child, knowing nothing would in any case enter the Kingdom of God.
In our understanding, as a brute beast, man, we are far less wise in comparison with God, than a newborn is to a grandpa. As soon as we decide that we know enough about God to be wise, we became fools.
The immensity and mystery of God causes us to speculate as to His will and purpose for creating man, the earth, Satan, heaven, angels, and all the complexities of life. This speculation has caused there to be a lot of controversy concerning the image of God. The word of God has been told and retold. It has been corrupted and changed and added to and taken away from until there is a flood of misinformation. There are virtually hundreds of religions who all claim to be wise concerning God. To sort it all out and choose the right way is impossible.
Since God made the world and all things in it, He knows that it is impossible for you to figure out the flood of information flowing around about Him. He knows that there is no way you could even start to sort it out, let alone choose the right thing to do every day.
It would be like dropping your 3 year old off at Harvard and expect them to come home with a degree. You would never expect that of your child. In fact you do not expect your 3 year old to figure out any of the complexities of life. All they are expected to do is obey you.
God is your heavenly Father. He knows that as far as spiritual things are concerned, you are only a baby. Your immediate future is not in your hands. Although a lot of how that future goes depends on what you do, your immediate future is in God’s capable hands. Although what you think is very important to you, it is far more important for you what God thinks. What you think of God has very little effect on His comfort and contentment but what He thinks of you has a GREAT deal to do with your comfort and contentment. Your will and plans have very little effect on God’s plans, but God’s plans had better be considered before you make plans or your plans will come to naught.
God has told us not to get too comfortable here on the earth, because we are fixing to move. No matter how comfortable we have become with our lives, our time here is almost over. This move is better for the entire family of God so He will not change His mind no matter what our insignificant opinions are. We may not understand right now but we will someday. For now, we will just have to trust Him to know what is best for us and do what we are told.
God sent His Son, Jesus Christ, so that we did not have to figure anything out. All we have to do is obey and follow Him. He told us that if we will call on His name in faith and will repent of our sin, He will take care of all the rest. He will send unto you the Holy Spirit and that Spirit will tell you everything that you need to know.
There are no burdens to bear for God or puzzles to figure out. Just trust in the Lord and do what you are told by Him.
Here is the rub. If you have reached full age as a human being and have had your senses exercised by reason of use to be able to know right from wrong, you must choose to make this move. You do not have to choose a church or a ritual or the right prayer or the right person to be your advisor. You only have to examine your own heart and repent of what you personally know to be wrong in the eyes of who you personally feel to be Jesus Christ, the Son of God. You must honestly within yourself desire to have that Jesus that you know take over your life and must honestly desire to serve Him. He will handle it from then on and take you out of this world that God hates.
Most people who even give God or Jesus a thought nowadays have not prepared themselves to receive Him. They have only prepared an excuse why they have not tried.
Most people who read the Bible are looking to see if they can find in it a loophole or excuse they can use in court as a reason why they have disregarded the commandments of God and Jesus.
They love the world that God hates and they do not plan to move from it until they are forced by death. They believe there is a God but they do not fear or respect Him. They are only afraid of the consequences of their own actions, in case they have disregarded the commandments of God and Jesus.
Because they are too busy trying to heap to themselves the pleasures of this world, to adequately prepare their own defense, they hire “lawyers” of the Bible to prepare their cases for them. If these “lawyers” or preachers are good at their job and can convince the masses that they can get time off then these “lawyers” have a huge clientele. The clientele then has the added bonus of “safety in numbers”. They feel God would never condemn that many people who have given Him enough regards to meet with their “lawyers” once or twice a week and give them a share of their profits in His name. If God has a problem with these people’s actions, He will now have to take it up with their “lawyers” who have convinced their clients of being able to get them acquitted on the Day of Judgment.
Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. The Day of Judgment is at hand. Rest assured God will take it up with these “lawyers” or preachers. He will add to their tribulation and torment according to the inequity of their clients and of their own sin as well. They will be sorry for lying to you. He will greatly add to their torment.
However this will in no way lesson yours. God will still take your own inequities up with you personally.
God made the world and all things in it. Therefore you will not have to give account for the circumstances of your life. You only give account (or do time) for what you personally have done or said or thought. This is according to your personal knowledge of God and your own failure to keep His commandments that you personally know.
The only advocate that will do you any good at this time is Jesus Christ. The only way He will take your case is if you will put your entire future from that moment on in His capable hands. Jesus will teach you how to please God and when the time comes to give account for your past sins He will stand up for you. God will not let you off for your past sin but will forget that you ever committed them. He will consider you as a righteous soul and will reward you greatly.
The only time left for accepting Jesus Christ as your advocate is now. There is no time left to figure out if this is the right thing to do. You will just have to trust in Jesus that He will do what He says and surrender the entire case of your life to His care by faith.
I am a witness to the fact that Jesus Christ will do what He says. I am also a witness to the fact that He is the only one who can. All the rest are liars and there is nothing that any of them, including myself, can do for you otherwise.
The Kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.

May the love, peace, and joy that come with obedience to Jesus Christ be in you all. I will look forward to seeing all of you who choose to be obedient to Christ at the great wedding feast of the marriage of the only begotten Son of God, Jesus Christ.

Letter about beliefs

2007-07-06T07:20:00.000-05:00

I was asked by Mom to write down my beliefs. It seems she’s having a hard time remembering, when she is asked by others, what kind of wild things I’m telling her when we visit. Therefore I will give it my best shot. Since it is a very deep subject, “ones beliefs”, I will try to be as brief as possible.
Just like all of you, I believe in God. Some people may say they do not. God says that all people know that He is. Some, because of their refusal to retain Him in their knowledge, are given over to a reprobate mind. They believe any lie that they tell themselves. They even believe that they do not believe in God even though they know that He exists.
I believe that God has no beginning and He has no end. I believe that He made everything that exists.
I believe that whatever His will, that is the way it will be no matter what. I believe in Jesus Christ and that He is the only Son directly born in the flesh to God.
I believe in the Holy Spirit of God. I believe it is a gift that was given to man from God through His son Jesus.
I believe that the Bible is an instruction manual given to man from God so that man could find his way to God (although God has never been far away). I believe every single word in it. The bible says that Jesus was given to man by God to save man from himself.
Man was so insignificant compared to God that he asked God to give him a law to follow because God’s majesty and power were so great that it caused them to live in fear. So God, in His longsuffering for man, gave man what he wanted. The penalty for breaking that law was death. Needless to say, without God to guide them, every one broke the law so everyone died.
Jesus was from God but born of woman. Just like us, he was subject to all the trials and tribulations of life in the flesh. He was like us but very different. Unlike anyone before or after him, Jesus was perfect in the eyes of God. He was given to us as a sacrifice unto God for our sin. But Jesus was also given to us to show us a better and more perfect way.
Jesus told us that he was a spirit and that he was with God from the beginning of the earth. He said that he was given to us in his earthly vessel so that we could know him while we were in our earthly vessel. Jesus said he was not only showing us who he was but he was also showing us who we are.
Jesus walked and talked with people. He knew everything about God and about them. He told them that he was there to teach them about their sin and that, through him, they could confess their sins and repent of them and they would be forgiven by God for committing them. This would mean that they would not be under a death sentence unto God anymore. Jesus said that man, through him, could have everlasting life.
Jesus chose some to go with him on his journeys on the earth. He told them that they were witnesses of what he did but he also told them that they were much more than that. Jesus said that he was given to man to be their king and man was given to him to be his kingdom but that his disciples were given to him because he chose them. He said that all the wonderful things he said and did while here on the earth were not his sayings or doings but God’s. He said that the very spirit of God was in him and that whatever that spirit told him to say or do that was what he did.
He told his disciples that the very people he was here to save were going to take him, mistreat him, and kill him. Jesus told them that if they knew what would happen next they would be overjoyed.
He said that when he was finished being a sacrifice for their sins he would inherit the entire kingdom of God. He said that, when he was given his kingdom, he would give to those that he chose the same spirit of God that was in him. He said in the spirit he would always be with them and them with him forever.
Jesus told them that after he became king of kings he was going to marry the most beautiful bride that ever was. He said that of all the souls that were ever made he had chosen some to be his bride. Jesus said that these that were chosen were not subject to the flesh or the law. God wanted them to worship Him directly. He said that God would call them sons and that they would call Him Father. Jesus said that after the wedding was over, they would be of one spirit and they would be the first generation of the very family of God.
Jesus said that most people would only be saved after great tribulation. This is what I believe about the common salvation.
Now I will tell you some of the things that the Holy Spirit has told me since he came into my life and I was born again. Soon after being filled with the Holy Ghost I began to consider all of the people that I knew and loved. I knew that the time was short and that, for the most part, they were not ready. I began to fear for them. The Holy Spirit told me that my fears were a bad testimony concerning God. If those who are filled with His very spirit are afraid what hope would anyone else have? What kind of God could He be if those that were with Him fear? So He told me never to fear anything no matter what. He said that it was always good to have compassion for those who are in a hard place but that God could handle anything.
As far as the people I was concerned about, He told me that before God even made Adam and Eve, He had made and loved each of them. He told me that their lives were given to them by Him according to their hearts. He told me that even the simplest of them were far too complicated for me to understand let alone judge. Each person must choose to call on the Lord and that Jesus would choose whomever he did according to their hearts and souls not their appearance or deeds.
I wanted very badly to be with other people who believed and were filled with the Spirit. I began to seek them out. I found that the Spirit of truth was not very well received by those who worship God out of religion.
He told me that most people went to church, paid their tithe, or prayed to receive something I the flesh or because they were afraid of what would happen if they did not. They did not do it because they loved or worshipped Jesus Christ.
He said that for the most part people went to church not to gather together to hear from the Spirit but rather to figure out a way around Him. They went where they were surrounded by those who would assure one another that although they did not do the thing that Jesus and the gospel told them, they were still going to be “raptured” on the day that Christ returned because they knew His name. The Spirit also told me that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh so if they are not ready now, they will not be ready, and even Satan knows his name.
The Spirit told me that people pay tithe so that God will leave them alone about the other ninety percent, or so that He would be impressed by it, or it was like buying a lottery ticket if perhaps God might choose to reward them for it by making them rich in some fashion in the flesh.
He said the tithe, in the law, was given as a way for man to partake of the gifts that God had given them before Him. They could give God the glory for the gifts so He could continue to give them. (deut 14:22-26)
He also warned me. There is a straight narrow passage that leads to God. It was purchased by the blood of His only begotten son. It was freely given by Jesus to those who believe. If people have decided that they can profit in the flesh or monetarily by telling people how much God will charge them for it, their punishment is just and the Lord will answer them for it in His wrath.
He said that when most people prayed, they either prayed to complain about their lives or ask for treasures in the flesh. Most of them wanted to be forgiven for their sins but were not sorry and did not plan to stop committing them. They would ask God to forgive them but they did not repent. He told me that repentance is a finality. If you realize that you have sinned then you are sorry for it and you never want to do it again.
He gave me an example: If you were to put fresh cat poop in your mouth, whether or not you meant to, you would surely repent of that action. Sin must be every bit as appalling to you as that. You cannot just throw God a letter before you go to bed and say “forgive my sins”. You must confess your sins and repent of them. Then Jesus will surely forgive them.
The Holy Spirit said that when anyone prays, they should never tell God what’s going on in their lives or what they need. They should ask Him what is going on in their lives or what it is that they need. He said that if you are ever in a place where you have audience with Jesus or God make sure that you do a lot more listening then you do talking. God already knows anything you could tell Him.
There are so many things about God that I do not know. I prayed for understanding.
The Holy Spirit said there is a book in heaven that tells everything. It tells the how and whys of all things created by God. This book was sealed by God with seven seals that nobody in heaven or earth were able to get past. This made all of the creations of god very sad. Everyone knew that we had to get past those seals to know the deep things of God.
The first seal was our instinct to conquer everything that offends or discourages us. If a mouse runs across the floor, the first reaction is to conquer it. We do not give thought to the mouse or why it exists or why it was even running across the floor in the first place.
This carries over to much bigger and more important things. If we are a part of a group or country and another group or country offends or challenges us, our first thought is to conquer them. We consider this to be our best defense against all the things that we do not like or want. The world or Satan teaches us that we must conquer everything; our fears, our emotions, our enemies, our sins, and even our fear of God.
The truth is nothing can be conquered by us. You may force it to move or bow to your will but it will always come back around again. The only way to truly be free of all the things that are against us is through Jesus Christ. He can conquer anything and we can conquer nothing.
The second seal on this book stems from the first one. It is our ability to take peace from the earth and to kill one another. Nowadays this is done on a massive scale but it begins in us as individuals. I do not know anyone who would not kill if given the right circumstance such as someone threatening your family, your life or just your comfort. You can never read this book while this is so.
The third seal is that all of the gifts of God now have a price. The food He gave us, the earth He gave us, and the time He gave us. If we desire something and we don’t have the money to get it, we are disappointed. When or if we receive that same amount of money then we are overjoyed or happy. This leads us to begin loving money. The love of money is the root of all the evil in the world. The lack of money that we “need” or want also leads us back to the first two seals.
The fourth seal on the book is our inevitable death. Statistically speaking, one out of every one dies. We desperately try to get as many of our lusts as we can in our limited time. To add to this, approximately one fourth of the people do not make it to the natural end of their lives. This is due to disease, accidents, hunger, thirst, war, wild beasts and so on. This causes us to fear. That fear causes us to do things that are displeasing to God.
The fifth seal on the book is that, throughout history, the ones that show forth praises to God and keep His commandments have been treated poorly. They have been mocked, ridiculed, locked up, cast out, and killed for their beliefs. Because of fear of this, people do not want to know the things of God.
The sixth seal was the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Because of their wickedness, man is very fearful of this. All men have sinned and do sin, so the coming of Jesus was not good news to them. Jesus is not only the forgiver and rewarder of those that love him; he is also the judge and punisher of those who do not.
The seventh seal is that, because of our sins, we fear what is going to happen next…
This book remained unopened since the beginning of time. No one in heaven or earth could get past these seals. This caused great grief to all those who wished to know all the wonderful things of God.
Jesus got past all the seals and was found by God to be worthy to open the book. He was now able to know everything about all the wondrous things in the kingdom of God. Because of this, we are now able to look into these wondrous things through him. If we love God and keep His commandments we are able to know all the deep things of God.
One question that seems to be on peoples’ minds is why do “bad” things happen to good people and why do “good” things happen to obviously bad people?
The Holy Spirit told me that we as people on the earth still do not understand or comprehend everlasting life. Compared to forever, seventy or eighty years are but a vapor or a blink. Mankind, in the flesh, is very temporary. He lives his life according to the limited time that he has.
The truth of this matter is that you are not just another animal that God just happened to like better than all the other animals. We do not just live according to our instincts then die so that God can be entertained by it. We are God’s grandest creation. We are the first thing that God ever wanted. God wanted a kingdom where those in it would love Him and praise Him of their own selves because they were so happy and thankful for all of the wonderful life that He had given them. These people would live their lives together in love, peace and joy before God and praise His very existence because of their own wonderful existence. They would praise Him and He would dry all their tears and share all their joy. They would be to Him a people and He would be to them a God forever and ever.
Through Jesus Christ a few of us were also chosen to be God’s family.
God’s own son is going to be married soon. His bride is going to be the most gorgeous bride ever created. Jesus will be wed to the Church of the Firstborn of Christ. This church consists of all the souls that were so beautiful to Jesus that He wanted to join them to his own. They shall be the first generation of the very family of God and this too shall be forever and ever.
The chosen of Christ are watched and cared for by Jesus through the Holy Spirit. They are not of this world. They get everything they need from Jesus Christ.
If you ask him for something in your ignorance and he does not give it to you, in his wisdom, if you turn to the world once again and try to get it there, the repercussions in the flesh can be catastrophic. I promise that it will never have the desired effect.
Man, in the flesh, can have bad knees. He can go to the doctors of science and medicine and sometimes they can fix or at least help you physically. If you are chosen and have bad knees and you have asked God in the name of Jesus Christ about your knees and he has not fixed the, I strongly suggest that you do not turn to the beggarly elements. The outcome will be catastrophic in the flesh.
This is a marvelous thing. If God is willing to chastise you about going to the world for your needs, it means that it was worth it to Him to do so. He only chastises those who belong to Christ. The rest will see God at a later date.
If you have learned anything from this that would keep you from offending God, compared to the rest of the world, you got a real bargain. If you received this wisdom and all it cost you was something in this fleshly life, you should be praising His name. If it leads you to repentance you are in great shape.
I had a vision once. I was standing in front of a high mountain. I understood that if you wanted to be with God, you had to get to the other side in your allotted time. As I began to climb I found that I could not make any progress. I would climb a ways then fall back down. Others would walk up and start climbing. They all just climbed right up but I could not even get started. This vision concerned me greatly as you can imagine. The Holy Spirit told me that the chosen do not strive to see God. They only help others to do so. When the time comes for me to get to the other side, I would just tell the mountain to move and it would get out of my way.
The chosen of the Lord are not subject to anything in the flesh. But everything is subject to the Holy Spirit which is in them, even mountains.
The Holy Spirit said that you are actually three creations. The vessel or body that you live in, the soul that makes you who you are and makes you different from every other soul and the spirit which gives the whole of your life.
The flesh is nothing compared to the soul and spirit. The soul is like a hand. The spirit is like the rest of the body that controls the hand and the flesh is like a glove that you put on the hand to do a certain job. When you finish the job, you no longer need the glove. It is not a loss that you took off the glove. You find that it actually frees your hand to do what the body wishes.
Your flesh is a good tool to begin to teach you who you are. But it will never be who you are. You are much more than you think you are. I hope that you realize this and give your whole self to the Lord. He will protect your soul and spirit and give you the Holy Spirit in your flesh while you are in it. When it dies, He will give you a new body that will always do the right thing, forever.
The truth is that anyone who is filled with the Spirit of God has no needs. The Lord provides all their needs according to a true knowledge of what it is that they need.
If we accept this gift we can worship God the Father directly. We are born again in His Spirit, of the very seed of God. We will be His children and heir to His Kingdom. We will live with Him in His glory.
We have no idea of the depths of the richness of this gift. I will tell you as a witness to it that it will consume your entire life. You will no longer look at anything the same way again.
All of these things are in the Bible. I praise God for the Holy Spirit which reminds me of these things. I believe every one of them.
