"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.

Where is the Wisdom?

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.

Lamentations in the Valley of Decision

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.

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

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

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.

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.
