SOURCE of PROPHECY

 

2 Peter 1:20-21

King James Version

20 Knowing this first, 

that no prophecy of the scripture 

is of any private interpretation.

21 For the prophecy came not in old time 

by the will of man: 

but holy men of God spake 

as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.

Scripture always speaks truth.

For it is the WORD of GOD.

The verses above reveal the SOURCE of prophecy.

Which is the HOLY SPIRIT of GOD.

Holy men of God spoke "as they were moved by the Holy Ghost".

Witness the experience of prophet Jeremiah:

Jeremiah 1:4-10 

King James Version

4 Then the word of the Lord came unto me, 

saying,

5 Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; 

and before thou camest forth out of the womb 

I sanctified thee, 

and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.

6 Then said I, Ah, Lord God! 

behold, I cannot speak: 

for I am a child.

7 But the Lord said unto me, 

Say not, I am a child: 

for thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee, 

and whatsoever I command thee thou shalt speak.

8 Be not afraid of their faces: 

for I am with thee to deliver thee, 

saith the Lord.

9 Then the Lord put forth his hand, 

and touched my mouth. 

And the Lord said unto me, 

Behold, 

I have put my words in thy mouth.

10 See, 

I have this day set thee 

over the nations and over the kingdoms, 

to root out, 

and to pull down, 

and to destroy, 

and to throw down, 

to build, 

and to plant.

So, that's what a prophet's supposed to do:

"to root out"

"to pull down"

"to destroy"

"to throw down"

"to build"

"to plant"

All, according to GOD's WILL.

The prophets goes, where GOD sends him.

The prophet speaks, what GOD asks him to speak.

A prophet is in TOTAL obedience to the LORD.

Here's another important verse about the "spirit of prophecy".

This, from apostle John, who initially wanted to revere an angel.

To which the angel replied:

Revelation 19:10 

King James Version

10 And I fell at his feet to worship him. 

And he said unto me, 

See thou do it not: 

I am thy fellowservant, 

and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: 

worship God: 

for the testimony of Jesus 

is the spirit of prophecy.

Here's how to identify "false prophets.

Let JESUS point it out to us:

Matthew 7:15-17 

King James Version

15 Beware of false prophets, 

which come to you in sheep's clothing, 

but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. 

Do men gather grapes of thorns, 

or figs of thistles?

17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; 

but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.

Not all prophets serve GOD.

JESUS was very clear about that.

The LORD knows who His prophets are.

Matthew 7:21-23 

King James Version

21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, 

shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; 

but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

22 Many will say to me in that day, 

Lord, Lord, 

have we not prophesied in thy name? 

and in thy name have cast out devils? 

and in thy name done many wonderful works?

23 And then will I profess unto them, 

I never knew you: 

depart from me, 

ye that work iniquity.

A NOTE to Scoffers

 

Matthew 24:37-39 

King James Version

37 But as the days of Noah were, 

so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

38 For as in the days that were before the flood 

they were eating and drinking, 

marrying and giving in marriage, 

until the day that Noe entered into the ark,

39 And knew not until the flood came, 

and took them all away; 

so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

Who are scoffers?

The Bible has much to say about them.

Scoffers, skeptics, sin-filled people.

All pretty much in the same sinking boat.

Why do they scoff at believers of JESUS?

Why don't they believe in the Rapture?

Why don't they believe Jesus can return at any time God chooses?

Apostle Peter says it pretty much here:

2 Peter 3:3-4

King James Version 

3 Knowing this first, 

that there shall come in the last days scoffers, 

walking after their own lusts,

4 And saying, 

Where is the promise of his coming? 

for since the fathers fell asleep, 

all things continue as they were 

from the beginning of the creation.

2 Peter 3:5-7

King James Version 

5 For this they willingly are ignorant of, 

that by the word of God the heavens were of old, 

and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:

6 Whereby the world that then was, 

being overflowed with water, perished:

7 But the heavens and the earth, 

which are now, 

by the same word are kept in store, 

reserved unto fire against the day of judgment 

and perdition of ungodly men.

2 Peter 3:10

King James Version 

10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night;

 in the which the heavens shall pass away 

with a great noise, 

and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, 

the earth also and the works that are therein 

shall be burned up.

2 Peter 3:11-12

King James Version 

11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, 

what manner of persons ought ye to be 

in all holy conversation and godliness,

12 Looking for and hasting 

unto the coming of the day of God, 

wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, 

and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?

2 Peter 3:15-16

King James Version 

15 And account that the longsuffering of our Lord 

is salvation; 

even as our beloved brother Paul 

also according to the wisdom given unto him 

hath written unto you;

16 As also in all his epistles, 

speaking in them of these things; 

in which are some things hard to be understood, 

which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, 

as they do also the other scriptures, 

unto their own destruction.

We all need to be ready, for the Lord can come any moment GOD chooses, gathering His faithful up in the clouds.

2 Peter 3:13-14

King James Version

13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, 

look for new heavens and a new earth, 

wherein dwelleth righteousness.

14 Wherefore, beloved, 

seeing that ye look for such things, 

be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, 

without spot, and blameless.

2 Peter 3:17-18

King James Version 

17 Ye therefore, beloved, 

seeing ye know these things before, 

beware lest ye also, 

being led away with the error of the wicked, 

fall from your own stedfastness.

18 But grow in grace, 

and in the knowledge 

of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. 

To him be glory both now and for ever. 

Amen.

Are you a believer in the LORD JESUS?

When will you start believing?

When your heart is true,

the Holy Spirit will be with you.

Being a believer means  GOD will send His Holy Spirit to teach you everything about Jesus -- His life, ministry, and the imminent end times.

Being a believer means you are born again.

Being a believer means you accept Scripture as TRUTH.

John 3:5-8 

King James Version

5 Jesus answered, 

Verily, verily, I say unto thee, 

Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, 

he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; 

and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, 

Ye must be born again.

8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, 

and thou hearest the sound thereof, 

but canst not tell whence it cometh, 

and whither it goeth: 

so is every one that is born of the Spirit.

Being a believer means we love, as JESUS taught us to.

Matthew 22:37-40 

King James Version

37 Jesus said unto him, 

Thou shalt love the Lord thy God 

with all thy heart, 

and with all thy soul, 

and with all thy mind.

38 This is the first and great commandment.

39 And the second is like unto it, 

Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

40 On these two commandments hang 

all the law and the prophets.

Being a believer means we repent.

Matthew 4:17 

King James Version

17 From that time 

Jesus began to preach, 

and to say, 

Repent: 

for the kingdom of heaven 

is at hand.

JESUS, the prophets, and the apostles, gave us all the instructions we need to be saved.

The Bible is almost one-third prophecy.

How many care to listen?

JESUS rightfully wondered:

Luke 18:8 

King James Version

8 I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. 

Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, 

shall he find faith on the earth?

Are We Tampering With God's Creation?

 

Psalm 139:13-15

King James Version

13 For thou hast possessed my reins: 

thou hast covered me in my mother's womb.

14 I will praise thee; 

for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: 

marvellous are thy works; 

and that my soul knoweth right well.

15 My substance was not hid from thee, 

when I was made in secret, 

and curiously wrought 

in the lowest parts of the earth.

How far has science gone?

How far has technology gone?

Have they respected ORIGINAL Creation?

You will want to know more about "convergent technologies" from the Chuck Missler video below:

The late Chuck Missler spoke of "convergent technologies" which involved nanotechnology, robotics, and genetics.

Strangely, I dreamt of three elderly scientists at a church -- over a decade ago.

They looked worried, huddled, deep in conversation.

Interestingly, they were molecular biologists.

I knew then, as I know now, that something's up.

A tampering of God's SACRED Creation.

Only by the GRACE of GOD can we survive it all.

And yes, you really must know why you have to be closest to JESUS now -- only then will you see why JESUS was sent in the first place.

It is also good to know why we were created by God, so we can give our LORD proper honor and gratitude.

The world has gone astray for many reasons, and the reasons can be found through Scripture alone.

God Seems To Like The Work I Do

Colossians 1:28

King James Version

28 Whom we preach, 

warning every man, 

and teaching every man in all wisdom; 

that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus:

Funny, that was the verse that showed up today, as I edited an article I had not shared with anyone, until today.

That verse PRECISELY reflects the focus of that article -- on Jesus' LAST instructions to His apostles, after His resurrection: 

Luke 24:47

King James Version

47 And that repentance and remission of sins 

should be preached in his name among all nations, 

beginning at Jerusalem.

And all because, the Holy SPIRIT led me to click the Bible Gateway link today, making me curious, to see the "Verse of the Day", just in case God had a "surprise" for me.

Of course, He did.

That seems to be how things are happening for me now.

And getting pretty often, too!

I write an article, I give credit to Bible Gateway, and if I check the "Verse of the Day", it often echoes the VERY subject of my article.

It's not weird.

It's beautiful!

It's magnificent!

It's GOD!

All I do is allow the Holy SPIRIT to guide me.

We write together, and beautiful things happen.

It may reach you.

It may touch your heart.

It may even anger you.

But I leave everything to the LORD God.

I write, because God created me to write.

I write, because there's so MUCH to write about God.

I write, because there's a deep urgency to share God's WORD with you.

I write, because I'm a follower of Jesus.

I write, because the Holy SPIRIT's teaching me many wonderful things.

I write, because I am a warrior for God.

And, in the process, God rewards my trusting and obedient heart, with little surprises that tickle my soul.

Then I know, God appreciates my little efforts.

I also write, to remind myself of the important verses the Holy SPIRIT leads me to.

It's as much for you, as it is for me.

If you have a child-like heart, you can identify with what I'm sharing.

Your heart will be as tickled, knowing God's paying attention, and blessing us for our faithfulness -- and yes, for our undivided attention.

I will forever be a child in my heart and I know God likes what I'm doing, writing about the TRIUNE God.

But why did I get into Bible Prophecy, the most complicated part of Scripture?

GOD saw my heart was finally open to JESUS, and sent the Holy SPIRIT to instruct me.

I got close to Jesus, because of those two videos on America.

I "heard" the "call".

After that, and instantly, I decided to become a born-again Christian on the same day.

There was no question -- it had to be Bible PROPHECY.

The world has gone completely astray, despite the many warnings sent out by many prophets, and primarily JESUS.

I felt the urgency.

So, I started reading the Bible, taking down notes, and the articles "formed".

It was the work of the Holy SPIRIT in me, teaching me, coaxing me, prompting me.

God knew what I had in me.

The only thing He waited for, was my complete surrender to Him.

And that's when He sent the Holy SPIRIT to instruct me.

How do I know it's from the Holy SPIRIT?

How can it not?

All I write about is GOD.

He is the MOST beautiful FOCUS of all!

I Knew 2020 Was Going to Be Something

JESUS told His apostles:

Matthew 13:11

King James Version

11 He answered and said unto them, 

Because it is given unto you to know 

the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, 

but to them it is not given.

Perhaps, I have a thing about numbers. 

Or, perhaps, it's just plain common sense.

First thing that came to mind about 2020?

Visual acuity.

Would my inner vision be clearer?

What would the world bring in 2020?

Those were my questions in the fall of 2019.

I just knew something would be different for the next year.

What, I didn't know what. 

But something significant happened to me in September, a day before my birthday. 

GOD made me born again.

I had become a changed person.

The events that led to that came from two videos on America, which completely changed my life.

Of how, America was a nation "begging for destruction", for it had parted ways with God.

The warning was sounded, and I, an Asian, somehow "heard" it, even as the videos were created sometime back.

Then I started reading the Bible, from Genesis, to the Four Gospels, to Revelation.

I was particularly drawn to Bible Prophecy, which led to the blog you're on now.

There was a very clear progression to things.

I wanted to know the WORDS of Jesus, JUST as He said them.

I felt I was being "alerted" to something, based on those videos. 

I filled lots of notebooks, and loose sheets, with verses that called to my soul.

Surely, the HOLY SPIRIT took pity upon this soul, hungering for CHRIST.

Then, I started writing the books.

And that was the time the covid crisis was brewing.

But what do I know?

I was tasked to write, not focus on the world.

As the world partied, I was cooped up writing, trying to learn more about Jesus.

The books came non-stop -- all 22 of them, in 36 days.

I knew I could write.

I knew I wrote fast.

But not this much.

Not this fast.

And not this intensely.

And without tiring.

I have to tell you that's how SPIRIT will fuel you, if you are really His.

Of course, God worked with what I had in my heart.

He made sure I had those dreams from decades ago.

He also made sure the time to de-code those dreams would come -- at His own choosing.

So, I dreamt, and worked, hoping to know ALL of God's TRUTH alone.

It was my most fervent desire.

I bugged Him, night and day.

And when He surfaced, I'm glad I was ready.

I wrote, from all the "prompts" and "inspiration", following each lead, every moment -- always backed by SCRIPTURE -- the WORD of GOD.

Then 2020 came, the covid crisis blew, and I knew God was on to something.

Everything is for a purpose, for a reason only known to God, though I honestly felt that those who don't love God, will reveal more of themselves, and their ways.

It's time they came out of hiding.

It's time they were revealed in plain sight.

True enough, if you are to go by the endless news and posts on social media and digital media, you'd see there would be truth in that.

Those who love you, are there for you.

Those who love GOD, and are true followers of JESUS, will become more of that.

Those who only care to enrich themselves, at the expense of others, are there, too.

Those who have had agendas for the longest time, can't wait to put everything in full force now.

Those who are confused, get even more confused.

Those who are angry, found a cause to espouse.

Only thing, others who have other agendas, found those causes handy, too, and piggy-backed on it.

Until finally, those people's cause got diluted, corrupted, and they deviate from the original purpose of their cause -- only because other people with different agendas got in on it, too.

And yes, the latter had the purse strings.

Who can you trust these days?

Only GOD.

Most still doesn't see that the only one with PERFECT vision is God.

He sees what we don't.

He knows what we don't.

Why is He not saying anything?

It's because JESUS will bring things to LIGHT.

Jesus, is the LIGHT of the world, after all.

Find your strength in Him.

Our peace lies in Him alone.

Your best friend these days will be the HOLY SPIRIT of GOD -- the One who will teach you, comfort you, and strengthen you.

The Holy SPIRIT's time has come.

We have to make way for the Spirit.

Our vision is limited.

God's isn't.

The CREATOR is in charge.

People wish they were, and that's were the problems began.

Instigated by the fallen one, of course.

And now, it's time to take off our muddied glasses, have God dissolve our spiritual cataracts, and see through the eyes of the Holy SPIRIT.

We had been blind too long.

The Hour of Preparation is NOW

1 Blessed is the man that walketh not 

in the counsel of the ungodly, 

nor standeth in the way of sinners, 

nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.

2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord; 

and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, 

that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; 

his leaf also shall not wither; 

and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

4 The ungodly are not so: 

but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.

5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, 

nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

6 For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous: 

but the way of the ungodly shall perish.

Psalm 1:1-6 

King James Version

Are people prepared for when Jesus comes, this time around?

Do people care at all?

We do not know when God will send Jesus again, but Jesus clearly said:

36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, 

no, not the angels of heaven, 

but my Father only.

Matthew 24:36 (KJV)

How, then are we to prepare for the LORD?

Perhaps, the real question is, do you care to be WITH the Lord?

If you believe in Jesus, and wish to follow Him, then you will read His instructions from SCRIPTURE, and allow the Holy SPIRIT of God to explain things to you as you study the WORD of God, and as you observe the world.

Only those who care to be WITH the Lord, would care to prepare.

They would do everything by God's Book, by Jesus' instructions, following the prompts of the Holy Spirit.

It is a daily discipline, a daily task, a daily devotion.

It is not difficult, if your heart is right with the LORD.

In fact, there is no other way to be, except to follow Jesus.

A person who wishes to be with God, will be like a child, delighted in the prospect.

2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord; 

and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

Psalm 1:2 (KJV)

The laws of man don't reflect the LAWS of God.

If it were, if it had, or if it did, the world would reflect the PEACE of Jesus.

It would reflect the LOVE He taught us.

It would reflect the KINGDOM of God.

There would be no poor, marginalized families everywhere, in every part of the world.

There would be no corruption.

Everyone would have the proper food, clothing, shelter, and comfort due each one of us, as we are all children of God.

We would not even have to fight for justice.

We can live, work, breathe, think, praise freely -- as God would have us.

Read Matthew 24, for prophecies by JESUS, for what is to come, and how we are to be.

All who love Christ, will prepare for His Coming.

We will watch, wait, pray.

We will repent for our sins, for time is short.

We will lead others back to God, by leading them back to Jesus' WORDS in Scripture.

The SON of God had already shown us the WAY.

Our duty, and delight, should be to follow that PATH of Jesus.

How can we ever go wrong if we do that?

Believe nothing else the world says.

It is under the "payroll" of the fallen one.

Believe only in JESUS.

Therein lies your peace.

And the world's salvation.

Our Peace Lies in Jesus Alone

John 16:33 

King James Version

33 These things I have spoken unto you, 

that in me ye might have peace. 

In the world ye shall have tribulation: 

but be of good cheer; 

I have overcome the world.

Why do we fight it so much?

Why do we resist the invitation from the LORD?

Why do we mock the things of God?

Why do we follow those who only wish our ruin?

Why can't we see the LIGHT of CHRIST?

Why can't we accept His Divine Lordship?

Why do we think the world has the answers for the questions we have?

What would it take for us to finally believe the teachings of JESUS?

What would it take for us to offer our lives to the LORD, when He laid His own life so we may be saved?

What would it take for us to comprehend the greatest love and sacrifice ever, the day Jesus was nailed to the cross?

What would it take for us to call upon the name of JESUS and to cover ourselves with the Sacred Blood of the Sacrificed Lamb, in order to fight the evil in this world?

Have we any idea how blessed we all are?

How loved we all are?

God knew the hearts of men, and yet, the CREATOR never gave up on us.

On and on, He sent His prophets, and then finally, His SON.

Jesus knew the hearts of men, too, and yet He believed we were worthy of His Life.

If we accept the gift, we can be guided by the HOLY SPIRIT of GOD at all times, so we may see all these.

It is only by the GRACE of God we are all still around, managing, living, thriving, surviving in this oftentimes cruel world -- a world we sometimes have allowed to be cruel.

But our salvation lies in JESUS alone.

May we be born of water and the Spirit, as born-again Christians, so we may be able to fully comprehend the sacrifice of the LORD, and the peace He offers us.

It is the only way to see the kingdom of God.

And yes, there is only one real life that matters, and that is ETERNAL life with the LORD.

Our hopes lie in Jesus alone.

It is Wonderful Being a Born Again Christian

There was a man of the Pharisees, 

named Nicodemus, 

a ruler of the Jews:

2 The same came to Jesus by night, 

and said unto him, 

Rabbi, 

we know that thou art a teacher come from God: 

for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, 

except God be with him.

3 Jesus answered and said unto him, 

Verily, verily, 

I say unto thee, 

Except a man be born again, 

he cannot see the kingdom of God.

4 Nicodemus saith unto him, 

How can a man be born when he is old? 

can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, 

and be born?

5 Jesus answered, 

Verily, verily, 

I say unto thee, 

Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, 

he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; 

and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, 

Ye must be born again.

8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, 

and thou hearest the sound thereof, 

but canst not tell whence it cometh, 

and whither it goeth: 

so is every one that is born of the Spirit.

John 3:1-8 

King James Version

What are your thoughts about being born again?

How do you feel about born-again Christians?

Would you like to know how it feels to be an independent one?

Huh, is there such a thing? 

Yes, there is, for I chose to follow Jesus, at my own level of preparedness last year.

I cannot join the LORD, and claim to be His, unless I felt authentic within myself.

For the longest time, a few of my acquaintances, even in the late 80s were trying to convert me.

They almost succeeded, but when I saw how they conducted themselves, I began to be doubtful.

And God, knowing how I am, for He created me, knew that I was going to be His, at a time of both our own choosing.

"And if it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord, 

choose you this day whom ye will serve; 

whether the gods which your fathers served 

that were on the other side of the flood, 

or the gods of the Amorites, 

in whose land ye dwell: 

but as for me and my house, 

we will serve the Lord."

Joshua 24:15 (KJV)

He let me carry on with life, the best and worst way I knew how, and then a day before my last birthday, He knew I was ready for His Son.

The only one who could convert me was God Himself.

He knew I wanted His TRUTH alone.

He knew I searched, long and hard, for His TRUTH alone.

He knew I didn't quite trust man, for we are all fallible, plus we all vacillate between seeming truths, and half-truths.

He knew I'd been praying for the longest time to be shown His TRUTH.

And then, one day, it happened.

He led me to two life-changing videos about America that's falling apart, and selling its soul to the devil.

He knew that would wake up my spirit, to receive His SPIRIT, the Holy Spirit.

He knew that on this latest birthday of mine, I dearly needed to be shown, and taught -- only by Him.

That was exactly what God was waiting for.

After receiving Christ quietly in my heart, no bells and whistles, no formal baptism and all that, I began to receive instruction, and my understanding and writing, blossomed.

It's been over eight months now, and the articles and books keep flowing.

Whenever I'm tired or unsure, I merely pray to Jesus, to please lead the way, and let it only be HIS way.

I set aside self, and let God:

"He must increase, 

but I must decrease."

John 3:30 (KJV)

Now, ALL instruction must come from the Holy Spirit alone, for I am a tainted human being.

"John answered and said, 

A man can receive nothing, 

except it be given him from heaven."

John 3:27 (KJV)

Even being a born-again Christian has its many challenges, maybe even more challenges, because your beliefs will be challenged by many.

You will be mocked, and reviled.

The lords of the earth will pounce upon you, for you have become God's Own.

Jesus did say:

18 If the world hate you, 

ye know that it hated me before it hated you.

19 If ye were of the world, 

the world would love his own: 

but because ye are not of the world, 

but I have chosen you out of the world, 

therefore the world hateth you.

20 Remember the word that I said unto you, 

The servant is not greater than his lord. 

If they have persecuted me, 

they will also persecute you; 

if they have kept my saying, 

they will keep yours also.

John 15:18-20 (KJV)

If you are ready to face all that, and to allow only the Holy Spirit of God to teach you, and self is completely set aside, then you are ready to follow Jesus as a true born-again Christian.

Humans love new things, trends, and they form organizations and cliques about it.

I've never really joined any club, now or ever -- what more with matters of God?

For myself, I became a born-again Christian in the simplest manner.

One day, I just knew.

One day, I wanted to follow Christ.

I became more of the child that I already am, but this time, I became even happier, as I hold Jesus' hand each day, and I skip, and hop, by His side, and He looks at me in great amusement.

He knows I dearly wish to know EVERYTHING about Him, and that only He can teach me best.

I am not elitist, but I am precise.

With matters of the soul, and actually most everything else, I wish to be precise.

One wrong thought, or move, and I endanger myself, and others.

I must know ALL about Jesus, before I can share my knowledge with you.

Well, I began reading the Bible -- especially Genesis, the four Gospels, and the Book of Revelation -- in September of last year.

With that reading, came greater understanding.

I allowed the Holy Spirit to teach me, for every man has a different understanding or version of what he may read.

Only by the GRACE of God, and through His Holy Spirit, can we be taught accurately.

I only wanted DIRECT instruction from God.

I think, if you really want to learn about God, you must declare that -- to learn ONLY from God -- directly.

You have to be precise, and particular, because He is.

And I think God likes that.

After all, it is His TRUTH we are talking about.

When you begin to know God's TRUTH, nothing else matters anymore.

More importantly, you begin to see truth, like who God Really Is, Who Jesus Really Is, who the Holy Spirit Is, who we really are, and why the world is the way it is, since God first created us in the Book of Genesis.

Jesus gave us the Holy Spirit to teach us everything:

"But the Comforter, 

which is the Holy Ghost, 

whom the Father will send in my name, 

he shall teach you all things, 

and bring all things to your remembrance, 

whatsoever I have said unto you."

John 14:26 (KJV)

I am not here to convince you to become a born-again Christian.

Quite a few tried doing that to me.

Only the Holy Spirit of God can "convert" you, when you're good and ready, and perhaps, it may be at the lowest moment in your life, when your heart really seeks THE answers to EVERYTHING.

I am only here to write my own testimony, of how the Spirit of God touched my heart, clarified things through SCRIPTURE, how he had Joseph, a dear friend of mine, coach me about Scripture, and of how Jesus took pity upon my fallen soul, and started instructing me, in EXACTLY the way I desired to be instructed -- by HIM alone.

I am not elitist like the other Christians who tried to convert me.

I have no clique, no club, never had.

I belong to God alone.

P.S. Perhaps, you're wondering why I used an endearing Asian baby -- maybe even a Chinese baby -- as an image for my post? My belief is that we are all children of God, Chinese, Filipino, American, or any race you may be. May the Chinese see that we are also their brothers, and sisters, desiring the freedom God gave all of us, and subject to no man, religion, or race's domination. We forget that, thus, problems ensue. Look beyond race. Of course, when you become God's Own, you will begin to see. I dearly invite you to allow God to help you see, as He has helped me see, until all I could see was GOD.
