Psalm 90:12
King James Version
12 So teach us to number our days,
that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.
Do you know where you were, 33 months ago?
I sure did.
On April 2019, there was great distaste in my heart.
I didn't like the way I was living.
I wasn't proud of it.
I wanted change.
My work was not prospering either.
Truth be told, it was nil.
Nothing seemed to work.
It's as if GOD blocked EVERY aspect of my work.
Well, it was old work.
Sales, marketing, communications.
On field.
Online.
Old stuff.
Not being able to make sense of things, I kept praying.
What was His will?
What was His truth?
Please, can I have an answer, soon?
My finances were in a terrible state.
Surely, there was an answer somewhere.
What wasn't I getting?
What did I fail to perceive?
Why did my brain feel foggy?
What did God want me to know?
How was change to come about?
That April, I soul searched.
As if I hadn't been doing that regularly.
For decades.
Well, that April, I dove even deeper.
Finding no answer of my own, I raised my hands in surrender.
I was totally lost.
Kaput.
I'm out of answers.
I'm out of solutions.
I was in a desert.
Roaming around in circles.
My heart cried out to the LORD:
2 Chronicles 7:14
King James Version
14 If my people,
which are called by my name,
shall humble themselves,
and pray,
and seek my face,
and turn from their wicked ways;
then will I hear from heaven,
and will forgive their sin,
and will heal their land.
I wanted to change.
I wanted to have no part of sin.
I surrendered to God's will.
Seems to be all that God needed to know.
Did God show up right away?
Nope.
Took another five months wherein He led me to two prophetic videos.
Those videos woke me up, triggering something in me.
On the very same day, GOD made me born again.
Now, I knew the reason for roaming -- seeming aimlessly -- in the desert.
Only JESUS could lift the veil.
2 Corinthians 3:14
King James Version
14 But their minds were blinded:
for until this day remaineth
the same vail untaken away
in the reading of the old testament;
which vail is done away in Christ.
Those videos alerted me to something God wanted me to know.
The sinfulness of man.
The lust for things of the world.
The pride.
The ego.
Not seeking God.
Not believing in Jesus.
We're all part, and parcel, of those sins.
How man sinned in America, was echoed everywhere else.
No way could we keep sinning, without God enforcing justice.
On the very same day, He converted me.
I started reading the Bible.
Something I never did before.
Even as I'd read hundreds of books.
Boy, the words popped out like life!
I began reading the four gospels, wanting to know what Jesus said.
And I began taking notes of verses that called to me.
The first two verses in Genesis captivated me:
Genesis 1:1-2
King James Version
1 In the beginning
God created the heaven and the earth.
2 And the earth was without form,
and void;
and darkness was upon the face of the deep.
And the Spirit of God moved
upon the face of the waters.
The dawn of a new day beckoned.
That paved the way for everything afterwards.
How EASY it was for me to UNDERSTAND God's WORD!
Where before, the Bible intimidated me, that day, it became clear as the light of day.
Of course, I eventually learned from Scripture, that it was the Holy Spirit that made things easy to understand.
Especially to those who had a childlike heart, which I've always had.
Then the books came.
And the blogs followed.
And I haven't stopped writing since.
As I wrote each article, SPIRIT helped me figure things out.
Leading me ever deeper into Scripture.
It had to be GOD's WORD, or nothing.
It was my meditation, day and night.
Psalm 119:97
King James Version
97 O how love I thy law!
it is my meditation all the day.
Most importantly, four months after God made me born again, Jesus called my attention to the Rapture on 14 January 2020.
It became the main basis, for all the writing I do.
That JESUS can have His faithful meet Him up in the air.
Any moment GOD chooses to.
And that I alert you to what SPIRIT told me:
"That all men may know the BIBLE,
and live by it."
To know God, know the Bible.
For the Lord's day is at hand.
As apostle Peter said:
Acts 3:19
King James Version
19 Repent ye therefore,
and be converted,
that your sins may be blotted out,
when the times of refreshing shall come
from the presence of the Lord.
The veil has been lifted for me.
What about you?
Still living in a fog?
Time to wake up now.
Call upon GOD.
He will lead you to JESUS.
Through His SPIRIT.
Matthew 17:5
King James Version
5 While he yet spake,
behold,
a bright cloud overshadowed them:
and behold a voice out of the cloud,
which said,
This is my beloved Son,
in whom I am well pleased;
hear ye him.
