The Abomination of Desolation

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"

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.”

Jesus Christ is Come in the Flesh

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.
