Be NOT proud

 

Acts 10:34-35

King James Version

34 Then Peter opened his mouth, 

and said, 

Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:

35 But in every nation he that feareth him, 

and worketh righteousness, 

is accepted with him.

When I was in high school, I loved the subject social studies.

Today, some critics call it a form of "programming".

That is was all "propaganda".

All I knew, as a 16-year-old then, was that it was fun learning about nations all over the world.

What cultures they had, what industries drove their countries.

Similarly, it was fun knowing about my own country.

The school also gave us a compact newspaper.

"Current Events Digest", they called it.

I looked forward to updating myself with it.

My world was expanding, globally.

I looked around the classroom.

Seems I was the only nut to do so.

Still, I kept on.

That interest continued till I started working, and became a journalist covering the expat circles.

Through the kindness of people, I was also able to travel a bit.

That's how I came to know about people of the world.

The character, idiosyncrasies, religious beliefs, social practices.

But something changed 33 months ago.

That was the day GOD made me born again

Thing began to get especially clear.

I began reading Scripture.

SPIRIT began explaining, THROUGH Scripture.

I began to understand man, and the ways of the world.

I began to understand the WAYS and WILL of GOD.

I pray, and I get a prompt.

Some days, the prompt just come.

All from SPIRIT, of course.

Early this morning, SPIRIT led me to an important video.

Sure, I knew about problems among races, and the powers of this earth.

But this time, I was furnished more details.

It's enough to make your stomach churn.

At the cruelty of people.

No wonder, Scripture said:

Romans 3:9-10

King James Version

9 What then? 

are we better than they? 

No, in no wise: 

for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, 

that they are all under sin;

10 As it is written, 

There is none righteous, 

no, not one:

As workman, I was tasked to write, and to warn about the end times.

Specifically the next event in GOD's timeline, which is the RAPTURE.

Why are we being cruel to each other?

Why are we hoarding?

Why are we not loving?

Why are we not sharing?

Why do we plot against each other?

Why do we feel superior over each other?

When, at ANY given moment, JESUS can return for His faithful.

Would we be included?

It's really time to look more into these articles that support this article:

The DAY you WANT to be GOOD

 

Psalm 14:2

King James Version

2 The Lord looked down from heaven upon the children of men, 

to see if there were any that did understand, 

and seek God.

The day you want to be good, is the day GOD will show up.

What?

Am I implying you're not good?

I'm not.

The Bible is.

None of us are good.

Genesis 6:5-6

King James Version

5 And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, 

and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart 

was only evil continually.

6 And it repented the Lord that he had made man on the earth, 

and it grieved him at his heart.

Jeremiah 17:9

King James Version

9 The heart is deceitful above all things, 

and desperately wicked: 

who can know it?

Romans 3:10

King James Version

10 As it is written, 

There is none righteous, 

no, not one:

Romans 3:11

King James Version

11 There is none that understandeth, 

there is none that seeketh after God.

Romans 3:12

King James Version

12 They are all gone out of the way, 

they are together become unprofitable; 

there is none that doeth good, 

no, not one.

Romans 3:23

King James Version

23 For all have sinned, 

and come short of the glory of God;

We all carry the original sin.

Genesis 3:6-7

King James Version

6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, 

and that it was pleasant to the eyes, 

and a tree to be desired to make one wise, 

she took of the fruit thereof, 

and did eat, 

and gave also unto her husband with her; 

and he did eat.

7 And the eyes of them both were opened, 

and they knew that they were naked; 

and they sewed fig leaves together, 

and made themselves aprons.

And if you don't believe what the WORD of GOD says, then pride is still in you.

GOD loves the humble.

Matthew 5:5

King James Version

5 Blessed are the meek: 

for they shall inherit the earth.

I share all these, from my personal testimony.

On the day that I wanted to be good, I decided to sin no more.

That day was sometime in April 2019.

We all know what sins we have.

I sure knew mine.

I was ashamed of self.

I wanted a NEW self.

Something acceptable to GOD.

And I prayed to know how to go about it.

How to get right with GOD.

It took another four months when He finally showed up.

Why the wait?

It's not by my time.

It's always by GOD's time.

James 1:4

King James Version

4 But let patience have her perfect work, 

that ye may be perfect and entire, 

wanting nothing.

The day came, a day before my birthday in 2019.

That's when I prayed again.

I always do a review RIGHT before a birthday.

On the very same day, GOD finally showed up.

He led me to two videos on embattled America.

There was a spiritual war going on.

Many lives were at stake.

On the same day, He made me born again.

After that, there was no turning back.

I began reading the Bible.

His SPIRIT started instructing me.

Scripture became easy to understand.

First, He led me to the words of JESUS.

Then, we turned to the first book, GENESIS.

Then the blogs came.

The books came.

The posts wouldn't stop.

We are on our 40th blog, and there's no stopping SPIRIT.

John 7:38

King James Version

38 He that believeth on me, 

as the scripture hath said, 

out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.

I began to understand the ways of the world, versus the WAYS of GOD.

I began to follow only GOD's WILL.

I began to learn of His TRUTH.

I sure got to know of His POWER.

And I'm able to share all that with you.

Especially the imminence of the RAPTURE -- the next long-awaited event in GOD's plan.

And the PROMISE of the RESURRECTION.

It's really all about ETERNAL LIFE with JESUS.

Where there will be no more pain.

No more suffering.

The life we live here on earth, is mostly challenges.

All that I've come to know, I share with you, each day.

I seek no reward, only that I get to wake you, and warn you.

1 Thessalonians 5:23

King James Version

23 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; 

and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body 

be preserved blameless 

unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

That was the task given me.

It's all preparation now.

The BATTLE for the MIND

2 Corinthians 10:3-5

King James Version

3 For though we walk in the flesh, 

we do not war after the flesh:

4 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, 

but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)

5 Casting down imaginations, 

and every high thing that exalteth itself 

against the knowledge of God, 

and bringing into captivity every thought 

to the obedience of Christ;

There's a real spiritual battle going on.

We are bombarded, right and left, by the ruler of the world.

He keeps us really busy, with things of the world.

The lusts of the flesh.

The desire to acquire.

The desire to dominate.

The obsession with vanity.

The enemy keeps us from GOD.

He wants us to blaspheme the LORD.

He wants us to think nothing of the crucifixion of CHRIST.

When all that matters is JESUS, Who saved us from our sins:

1 Corinthians 2:2

King James Version

2 For I determined not to know any thing among you, 

save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.

Let us focus on the GOSPEL of JESUS CHRIST:

1 Corinthians 15:3-4

King James Version

3 For I delivered unto you first of all 

that which I also received, 

how that Christ died for our sins 

according to the scriptures;

4 And that he was buried, 

and that he rose again the third day 

according to the scriptures:

So we'd be shamefaced about allowing sin into our lives.

Which inflame our senses, our bodies, our spirits.

Keeping us ripe for eternal damnation.

Here's how the spiritual battle looks like:

Romans 7:23

King James Version

23 But I see another law in my members, 

warring against the law of my mind, 

and bringing me into captivity 

to the law of sin which is in my members.

The world is legendary for keeping our minds occupied in sin.

JESUS died, that we may be saved from our sins.

There is a way to keep the world from stuffing our brains with junk.

For it's a battle for the mind.

For total control over our thoughts.

Our feelings, our emotions.

Our decisions.

Over our whole life.

Capturing our very souls.

Demons mess with our mind.

To conquer, we must have the mind of CHRIST.

Isaiah 26:3

King James Version

3 Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, 

whose mind is stayed on thee: 

because he trusteth in thee.

1 Corinthians 2:16

King James Version

16 For who hath known the mind of the Lord, 

that he may instruct him? 

but we have the mind of Christ.

Let's put on the FULL ARMOR of GOD.

And make a stand for JESUS.

To be born again, of water, and of the SPIRIT.

That SPIRIT may instruct us.

Not to serve GOD, is to serve the devil.

James 1:8

King James Version

8 A double minded man 

is unstable in all his ways.

GOD gave us stability.

2 Timothy 1:7

King James Version

7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; 

but of power, 

and of love, 

and of a sound mind.

Even as the spiritual battle rages on.

Romans 7:24

King James Version

24 O wretched man that I am! 

who shall deliver me 

from the body of this death?

But we have JESUS.

That we may SERVE the LAW of GOD.

Romans 7:25

King James Version

25 I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. 

So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; 

but with the flesh the law of sin.

In JESUS lies our SALVATION.

BEST service to the WORLD

 

Isaiah 58:10

King James Version

10 And if thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, 

and satisfy the afflicted soul; 

then shall thy light rise in obscurity, 

and thy darkness be as the noon day:

What could be our BEST service to the world?

For my part, here's what I figured out.

My best service is in SHARING the WORD of GOD with you.

I've shared 41 blogs, hundreds of posts, and 24 books with you.

These are all Scripture-based, guided by the SPIRIT of GOD.

Through that, you know who JESUS is.

You know that He is the SON of GOD.

You know that He is the MESSIAH.

You know that He was crucified, died, was buried, and rose on the third day.

You know that we have ETERNAL LIFE, if we believe in JESUS.

You know GOD is a SPIRIT.

You know how GOD created heaven and earth.

You know the original sin from Adam and Eve.

You know all the things GOD hates.

You know how much GOD loves us.

You know that believers are saved.

You know that only the HOLY SPIRIT can teach us.

You know how important it is to be born again.

You know the ways, the will, the truth of GOD.

You know why the world is the way it is.

You know the world hates believers.

You know GOD is the ONLY TRUE POWER.

You know that JESUS showed us how to love GOD.

You know that JESUS showed us perfect love, and obedience.

You know that JESUS asked we love others, as He loved us.

You know that the only thing that will remain is the WORD of GOD.

You know that the RAPTURE is imminent.

You know that only GOD decides when to send JESUS for the faithful.

You know that after the RAPTURE, comes the TRIBULATION.

You know that we are saved by FAITH, through GRACE.

You know we cannot boast about good works.

You know that there are many antichrists and false prophets in the world now.

You know that we must be born again, born of water, and of the SPIRIT.

You know JESUS is the way, the truth, and the life.

You know that good and evil were allowed by GOD, for the angels will separate the wheat from the tares in the end.

You know that believers have ETERNAL LIFE.

You know that unbelievers receive eternal fire.

You know JESUS holds the keys to hell and death.

You know believers will be resurrected by JESUS.

You know we will all account for our thoughts, words, and deeds.

You know JESUS conquered death, and the devil, at the CROSS.

You know that VICTORY belongs to JESUS alone.

You know that GOD is merciful, and loving.

You know that ALL of us have sinned.

You know that JESUS asks we repent, and believe the GOSPEL.

You know that we are to LIVE by the BIBLE.

You know that there will be a new JERUSALEM.

You know that there will be no more suffering on that day.

You know that GOD chose ISRAEL as His holy nation.

You know that all who fight ISRAEL will be destroyed by GOD.

You know that GOD gave us the BREATH of LIFE.

You know that life is but a vapor, gone in an instant.

You know that we will all return to dust.

You know that when we die, our spirit goes back to GOD.

You know that life is more than meat, or raiment.

You know that everything of the world is vanity.

You know that ONLY JESUS matters.

I knew all that from the Bible.

Only the WORD of GOD can save us.

For it holds GOD's TRUTH.

It holds the TEACHINGS of JESUS.

It carries prophecy.

It tells us of things to come.

It tells us the end, from the beginning.

It tells us about GOD.

Are you a believer?

That JESUS is the SON of GOD?

That He was RESURRECTED on the THIRD day?

If you wish to know JESUS, or the WILL of the FATHER, please pray.

That's really all you have to do.

PRAY to KNOW GOD.

And watch what happens.

JESUS conquers ALL

The LORD JESUS said:

Matthew 18:5-6

King James Version

5 And whoso shall receive 

one such little child in my name receiveth me.

6 But whoso shall offend one of these little ones 

which believe in me, 

it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, 

and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.

By now, you may have heard of the tragedy at an elementary school in Texas, and many others like it.

We also hear about wars everywhere in the world.

We are also aware kids are used as pawns.

And so, I turn to the Bible.

GOD was very clear, right from the start:

Exodus 20:13

King James Version

13 Thou shalt not kill.

JESUS spoke against violence:

Matthew 26:51-52

King James Version

51 And, behold, 

one of them which were with Jesus stretched out his hand, 

and drew his sword, 

and struck a servant of the high priest's, 

and smote off his ear.

52 Then said Jesus unto him, 

Put up again thy sword into his place: 

for all they that take the sword 

shall perish with the sword.

JESUS spoke about LOVE:

John 13:34-35

King James Version

34 A new commandment I give unto you, 

That ye love one another; 

as I have loved you, 

that ye also love one another.

35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, 

if ye have love one to another.

"But I am NOT your disciple!" you tell JESUS.

Precisely.

Thus, the violence.

Those who are violent, serve a different god.

2 Corinthians 4:4

King James Version

4 In whom the god of this world 

hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, 

lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, 

who is the image of God, 

should shine unto them.

If you believe in JESUS, you will not believe in violence.

You will love.

You will not create chaos.

You will not create objects that aim to kill, or maim.

Your heart will not fester with hatred, schemes, revenge, or greed.

In JESUS, is PEACE.

When JESUS was seized, He had the power to call upon angels. 

But He did not.

Matthew 26:53-54

King James Version

53 Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, 

and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?

54 But how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, 

that thus it must be?

He showed us a life of peace, love, obedience.

He knew we will all go through VERY rough times.

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.

He knows His OWN, and those who are not.

1 John 5:19

King James Version

19 And we know that we are of God, 

and the whole world lieth in wickedness.

JESUS offers comfort to those who are grieving:

Matthew 5:4

King James Version

4 Blessed are they that mourn: 

for they shall be comforted.

For those who hate, GOD warns us:

Deuteronomy 32:35

King James Version

35 To me belongeth vengeance and recompence; 

their foot shall slide in due time: 

for the day of their calamity is at hand, 

and the things that shall come upon them make haste.

JESUS also warned us:

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?

PEACE is possible.

But only if JESUS is present in our hearts.

Is your heart open to the LORD?

Have you received Him?

Make haste to do so.

STOP divining the FUTURE

 

Leviticus 19:31

King James Version

31 Regard not them that have familiar spirits, 

neither seek after wizards, 

to be defiled by them: 

I am the Lord your God.

Before GOD made me born again, I had been reading TONS of books on new age.

Along the way, I encountered people who could do tarot readings.

Somehow, I never wanted to know my future that way.

Neither did I have my palm read.

I couldn't believe someone could divine my future for me.

As if they were privy to something I ought to know myself.

It wasn't pride, just an inner knowing.

After all, it was my life.

That's why I kept searching, night and day, for truth.

How could anyone know better, than the one walking it?

I'm glad I didn't succumb to such readings.

If anything, I advised one young man to get off such pursuits.

Of course, I wish I had been born again then.

That would have made ALL the difference in the world.

I would have been taught by SPIRIT.

I would have quoted from Scripture.

Sharing the WORD of GOD instead.

After a long period of search, and research, GOD took pity on me. 

He led me to BIBLE prophecy in 2019.

Now, I know the future, as the Bible reveals it to be.

ESPECIALLY the imminent future.

Divining the future is an abomination to GOD.

Leviticus 19:31

King James Version

31 Regard not them that have familiar spirits, 

neither seek after wizards, 

to be defiled by them: 

I am the Lord your God.

Deuteronomy 18:10-12

King James Version

10 There shall not be found among you any one 

that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, 

or that useth divination, 

or an observer of times, 

or an enchanter, 

or a witch.

11 Or a charmer, 

or a consulter with familiar spirits, 

or a wizard, 

or a necromancer.

12 For all that do these things are an abomination unto the Lord: 

and because of these abominations 

the Lord thy God doth drive them out from before thee.

As born again, I trust GOD alone.

He knows the end, from the beginning.

Scripture testifies of it.

Isaiah 46:9-10

King James Version

9 Remember the former things of old: 

for I am God, 

and there is none else; 

I am God, 

and there is none like me,

10 Declaring the end from the beginning, 

and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, 

saying, 

My counsel shall stand, 

and I will do all my pleasure:

SPIRITUAL discernment

 1 John 4:1

King James Version

4 Beloved, 

believe not every spirit, 

but try the spirits whether they are of God: 

because many false prophets 

are gone out into the world.

SPIRIT makes things easy.

He made Scripture easy for me to understand.

He guided me to write blogs, books, and hundreds of posts.

And all we talk about is SPIRIT.

How sure am I that I'm getting things right?

Pretend I'm having a conversation with self.

It's a game SPIRIT and I play all the time.

That's why we call it self-review.

Also, these are common questions people ask.

SPIRIT and SCRIPTURE answer it simply.

How do I know all these things?

Because the Bible told me so.

What makes me trust the Bible?

It is the WORD of GOD.

How do I know it's the WORD of GOD?

The HOLY SPIRIT told me so.

Who is the HOLY SPIRIT?

He is the THIRD PERSON in the TRIUNE GOD.

Who is the TRIUNE GOD?

He is GOD the FATHER, GOD the SON, GOD the HOLY SPIRIT.

That's all GOD?

Yup, that's ALL GOD.

How can I trust the HOLY SPIRIT?

I am born again.

So?

Being born again means you are instructed by SPIRIT.

What does He instruct you about?

EVERYTHING about GOD.

I want proof.

Here's proof:

John 3:5-7

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.

John 4:24

King James Version

24 God is a Spirit: 

and they that worship him 

must worship him in spirit and in truth.

 

John 14:26

King James Version

26 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 15:26

King James Version

26 But when the Comforter is come, 

whom I will send unto you from the Father, 

even the Spirit of truth, 

which proceedeth from the Father, 

he shall testify of me:

John 16:13

King James Version

13 Howbeit when he, 

the Spirit of truth, 

is come, 

he will guide you into all truth: 

for he shall not speak of himself; 

but whatsoever he shall hear, 

that shall he speak: 

and he will shew you things to come.

Acts 5:32

King James Version

32 And we are his witnesses of these things; 

and so is also the Holy Ghost, 

whom God hath given to them that obey him.

Romans 5:5

King James Version

5 And hope maketh not ashamed; 

because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts 

by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.

1 Corinthians 2:14

King James Version

14 But the natural man receiveth not 

the things of the Spirit of God: 

for they are foolishness unto him: 

neither can he know them, 

because they are spiritually discerned.
