What is LIBERATING

 

1 Corinthians 6:12

King James Version

12 All things are lawful unto me, 

but all things are not expedient: 

all things are lawful for me, 

but I will not be brought 

under the power of any.

Do you feel "caged"?

What is freedom to you?

How can you know you're truly free?

How can you know you don't have "shackles"?

From a born again standpoint, here's what the Bible says.

Find hope, joy, and comfort from these verses the HOLY SPIRIT led me to yesterday -- for all of us.

Freedom is through CHRIST:

John 8:31-32

King James Version

31 Then said Jesus to those Jews 

which believed on him, 

If ye continue in my word, 

then are ye my disciples indeed;

32 And ye shall know the truth, 

and the truth shall make you free.

John 8:36

King James Version

36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, 

ye shall be free indeed.

CHRIST has made us free.

Galatians 5:1

King James Version

5 Stand fast therefore in the liberty 

wherewith Christ hath made us free, 

and be not entangled again 

with the yoke of bondage.

In SPIRIT is liberty.

2 Corinthians 3:17

King James Version

17 Now the Lord is that Spirit: 

and where the Spirit of the Lord is, 

there is liberty.

Romans 8:1-2

King James Version

8 There is therefore now no condemnation 

to them which are in Christ Jesus, 

who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus 

hath made me free from the law of sin and death.

The FAITHFULNESS of GOD:

Psalm 34:19

King James Version

19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous: 

but the Lord delivereth him out of them all.

Psalm 68:6

King James Version

6 God setteth the solitary in families: 

he bringeth out those which are bound with chains: 

but the rebellious dwell in a dry land.

Psalm 97:10

King James Version

10 Ye that love the Lord, hate evil: 

he preserveth the souls of his saints; 

he delivereth them 

out of the hand of the wicked.

What JESUS came to do:

Isaiah 61:1

King James Version

61 The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; 

because the Lord hath anointed me 

to preach good tidings unto the meek; 

he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, 

to proclaim liberty to the captives, 

and the opening of the prison 

to them that are bound;

John 3:16-17

King James Version

16 For God so loved the world, 

that he gave his only begotten Son, 

that whosoever believeth in him 

should not perish, 

but have everlasting life.

17 For God sent not his Son into the world 

to condemn the world; 

but that the world through him 

might be saved.

What TRUE freedom means:

Acts 13:38-39

King James Version

38 Be it known unto you therefore, 

men and brethren, that through this man 

is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins:

39 And by him all that believe 

are justified from all things, 

from which ye could not be justified 

by the law of Moses.

Romans 6:14

King James Version

14 For sin shall not have dominion over you: 

for ye are not under the law, but under grace.

How to use this GOD-given GRACE wisely:

Psalm 119:45

King James Version

45 And I will walk at liberty: 

for I seek thy precepts.

Romans 6:22-23

King James Version

22 But now being made free from sin, 

and become servants to God, 

ye have your fruit unto holiness, 

and the end everlasting life.

23 For the wages of sin is death; 

but the gift of God is eternal life 

through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Galatians 5:13-14

King James Version

13 For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; 

only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, 

but by love serve one another.

14 For all the law is fulfilled in one word, 

even in this; 

Thou shalt love thy neighbour 

as thyself.

James 1:25

King James Version

25 But whoso looketh 

into the perfect law of liberty, 

and continueth therein, 

he being not a forgetful hearer, 

but a doer of the work, 

this man shall be blessed in his deed.

1 Peter 2:15-17

King James Version

15 For so is the will of God, 

that with well doing ye may put to silence 

the ignorance of foolish men:

16 As free, 

and not using your liberty 

for a cloke of maliciousness, 

but as the servants of God.

17 Honour all men. 

Love the brotherhood. 

Fear God. 

Honour the king.

One PROPER prayer for freedom --

Psalm 79:9

King James Version

9 Help us, 

O God of our salvation, 

for the glory of thy name: 

and deliver us, 

and purge away our sins, 

for thy name's sake.

as well as the prayer JESUS taught us:

Matthew 6:9-13

King James Version

9 After this manner therefore pray ye: 

Our Father which art in heaven, 

Hallowed be thy name.

10 Thy kingdom come, 

Thy will be done in earth, 

as it is in heaven.

11 Give us this day our daily bread.

12 And forgive us our debts, 

as we forgive our debtors.

13 And lead us not into temptation, 

but deliver us from evil: 

For thine is the kingdom, 

and the power, 

and the glory, 

for ever. 

Amen.

RIPE for CHANGE

Acts 26:18

King James Version

18 To open their eyes, 

and to turn them from darkness to light, 

and from the power of Satan unto God, 

that they may receive forgiveness of sins, 

and inheritance among them 

which are sanctified by faith 

that is in me.

Are you facing a dead end?

Facing a blank wall?

Nothing works?

Tired of the same stuff?

Jaded, to the core?

Bored?

Uninspired?

Broke?

Depleted?

Tired?

Lost?

Resigned?

What do you do next?

Pray?

Ask for help?

Hide?

Run?

Cry?

Rage?

Sink even deeper?

I went through many "dark nights" of the soul, too.

But April 2019 was different.

I just felt "rotten".

So sick of sin, and self.

Same sins, again and again.

I was digging a ditch for myself.

Satan provided the shovel.

He was about to dump me into it, too.

Surely, GOD opened my eyes.

I couldn't bear to sin anymore.

I turned my back on sin, and never looked back.

One thing you need to do with sin?

QUIT cold turkey.

With all the troubles I've had, I just prayed.

I didn't know how GOD would answer.

I didn't know what solutions He'd have for me.

All I know is I bared my heart to Him.

In five months' time, He made me born again.

He made me read the Bible.

Then, He led me to prophecy.

All in one morning.

I gobbled its truth.

He led me to prophet Zechariah.

Then we jumped to the four gospels.

I wanted to know EVERTHING about JESUS.

I wanted to know His EXACT words.

Then, an idea hit.

"Start from the beginning."

So I went to the FIRST book of the Bible.

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.

FIRST two verses alone got me.

The second verse was my FIRST encounter with the "Spirit of God".

It's been over five years now, and we have not stopped writing.

All my material comes from SPIRIT.

We now have 111 blogs, and 24 e-books.

I perceive a 112th hovering.

It made its presence "known" this morning.

My days, and nights, are filled with SPIRIT, Scripture, snacks, and studies.

Apart from family tasks, and chores, of course.

I never run out of articles.

I am productive because of SPIRIT.

I just write, and write, and write.

And share, and share, and share.

And study, and study, and study.

I leave the rest to SPIRIT.

Have I found my answers?

Is my life better now?

Definitely.

It's all in JESUS.

He's my "model" for GODLY development.

My "pattern" for perfection, and simplicity.

My LORD for all things GOD.

The Answer to ALL the questions in this world.

Go ahead, ASK Him anything.

I compare the world's ways with His ways.

And I laugh, because there's no comparison.

I grieve, too, because I wish people would turn to Him.

If only the world would look to JESUS.

It would end ALL conflicts.

He is the PEACE you seek.

I live the simplest life of all.

Being born again is so fun!

It's the change you need.

I have no ambition.

No desire to rule the world.

No desire to dominate anything.

No desire to be "liked", "followed", or "honored".

A follower of JESUS looks to Him alone.

He is all that matters.

I am happy, peaceful, clear, content, and quiet.

Serving GOD; serving you; even looking after Trump.

I tell you of the Rapture, because JESUS alerted me to that.

SPIRIT and I have been preparing you five years now.

The Rapture is next in GOD's timeline.

That means GOD is giving us time to change.

He's giving us an opportunity to be with Him.

He wants us to acknowledge our sins, and repent.

He wants us to look to JESUS, for everything.

Every day we're still here is a chance to ask for forgiveness.

Every day is a chance to know more about the LORD's gospel.

We are given so many chances.

Let's not squander it.

Here's an important verse to ponder upon:

1 Thessalonians 5:18

King James Version

18 In every thing give thanks: 

for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus 

concerning you.

FIFTH year as BORN AGAIN

 

Proverbs 16:16

King James Version

16 How much better is it to get wisdom than gold! 

and to get understanding 

rather to be chosen than silver!

I myself can't believe it.

I've been born again, FIVE years now?

At least 1,825 days today.

Wow, as I would say, "Stupendous!"

All because GOD made me born again.

Saving me, from myself.

If I am to count my ancient years, I shall count it as kid years.

For the only thing that matters is how long I've been born again.

It's been FIVE, beautiful years.

Of non-stop praying, listening, studying, writing, and sharing.

Every single day.

Having a delighted devotion to the WORD of GOD.

Childlike pride at GOD's magnificence.

Awed respect for JESUS.

Searching Scripture each day, like a Berean.

Praying to JESUS, for any questions I may have.

Waiting for His SPIRIT to direct me to the right verse.

Offering our articles for GOD's GLORY all the time.

We've got 107 blogs to show for it now.

And yet a 108th hovers.

I lasted this long.

And I shall last for as long GOD deems it.

My years are in His hands.

My work was predestined.

He allowed my errors, for His purpose.

But saved me right on time.

As the world was to see many troubles.

Brewing in 2019, and hasn't stopped since.

People partied end of 2019.

GOD made me write instead.

We started our fiction books in November.

We worked on 22 spiritual warfare books in 36 days.

Then He made me write another two on JESUS in 2020.

You can find all those on my Amazon page.

He kept me busy studying, and sharing.

There was one day in 2020 I got cocky.

Thinking I had written enough.

Wanting to ease up writing.

He would have none of that foolishness.

On the very same day, He cut the wi-fi connection.

Through a neighbor's contractor.

Who "accidentally" cut our telephone line.

And didn't work on having it re-connected.

No matter my appeals.

It was laborious getting back "on-line".

I had to go to another neighbor to report the matter.

Those were the covid days of difficulties.

It took another two days to get back to work.

Merely shows, I must not get slack in my work for GOD.

People are "perishing", what was I doing, thinking I'd done enough?

On the contrary, my work had just begun.

He taught me that awful lesson.

There's no messing around with GOD.

He will get you "off-line".

OFF His line.

And that scares me the most.

Losing that "anointing".

I hadn't stopped writing since.

If you must know, I FEAR the LORD, greatly.

I may be childlike, and playful, with Him.

But I don't test that patience.

That's how it is to work for the LORD.

You have to be devoted, consistent, faithful.

Trusting, patient, eager, excited.

On the job, every single day.

No slackers allowed.

No lazy bones.

No egotistic folks.

How does He make me work?

What are our working hours?

Is it fun?

GOD wakes me up -- anytime between 2am to 4pm.

Actually, more around 2:30 or 3:30 a.m.

We work for two to three hours before I prepare breakfast for family.

Within the day, we work throughout, too.

Interspersed between chores, duties, and responsibilities.

Life is simpler, but more fulfilling, than ever.

My days are busy, quiet, and focused.

Which suits me just fine.

He makes me listen to lots of sermons.

His SPIRIT discerns which sermon, or issue, to listen to.

Which we connect with Scripture.

Reviewing the validity of other people's claims.

From which I get ideas what to write about.

And boy, there are TONS of ideas.

You won't believe my notes.

Neither my "bookmarked" sites.

Some days, I'm washing dishes, watching cable, having a meal, and BOOM!

An idea hits, and I'm on it.

We "work" right away.

I "memorize" the idea, letting SPIRIT "produce" the verse.

Letting Him "develop" the article in my mind.

That's how we get to create the blogs.

Oftentimes, a series of articles already lie in wait.

I take notes, as the "ideas" hit.

I don't want to lose the "thread".

We have spools of it.

It's all SPIRIT, you see.

You pay attention.

ALL the time.

Ignore SPIRIT, and you've lost it.

You've lost that DIRECT connection with GOD.

You cannot retrieve what you chose to ignore.

Mercifully, I always pay attention.

And drop everything, once SPIRIT ignites a thought, a word, or an action.

And if I can't drop whatever I'm dong, just yet, I simply get the closest pen and paper in hand.

And write down EVERYTHING.

EXACTLY as He gave it.

Half of the ideas are worked on.

The other half?

It's just SPIRIT's way of testing.

Whether I care to write it down, or not.

When I do get back to that half, there was no need to develop an article.

SPIRIT just wants to see if I'm paying attention.

So, we just toss the other half.

Recently, He made me write notes for a friend.

More like warnings, really.

Just as I was about to sleep.

He didn't make me sleep till morning.

I'd go back to bed, thinking the instructions were enough.

Nope, SPIRIT had more.

He kept getting me back up.

I ended up going back to bed at 2am.

And delivering the "message" the same day.

SPIRIT gave His warnings in phrases.

And I'm merely "messenger".

I must "deliver" it.

EXACTLY as He said it.

Which I did.

A messenger is there to prevent a "mess".

See how much I love words!

My wonderful, wonderful "toys".

That's the gift GOD gave me.

A thing for words.

A love for phrases.

Especially defining phrases.

The secret is in words.

Which I shall write about, in the future.

As I edit this article, more ideas are circling in my head.

Percolating, percolating, percolating.

GOD gave me a joyful brain.

Delighting in "connecting" stuff.

It's not uncommon that while I'm writing, or editing, GOD continues to feed my brain with new stuff.

While writing an article, another comes up.

Sometimes, a whole bunch.

That's why I have to write fast.

And take TONS of notes.

Lest it all be lost.

I did say decades ago that there are "many books" in my heart.

Well, GOD tapped that.

His way.

But one thing I always do is pray.

I pray to know His will.

I ask JESUS what He wants written.

I ask His SPIRIT guide me to the verses.

We've already got a "system" in place.

Pray. Wait. Listen. Write. Share.

There's order, precision, and perfection.

My thoughts must be of GOD alone.

Never an injection of self, or ego.

My work must be pure, precise, and perfect.

For it is all offered to GOD.

It is offered to you.

I must not mislead anyone.

Everything must be ACCORDING to GOD's WORD.

Why the urgency?

The times are evil.

Man continues to sin.

Man continues to defy the LORD.

There are many false prophets.

Many misleading teachers.

Many dubious philosophies.

Many erring industries.

Many misguided governments.

Many corrupt leaders.

Much deception going on.

Many are "asleep".

Not realizing their errors.

We base everything on Scripture.

I merely follow SPIRIT's instructions.

What to write, what verse to use, when to share.

Who to share it with.

I do not judge your actions.

The HOLY SPIRIT does the reproving.

GOD's WORD judges.

Whether our acts be right, or wrong.

In the end, JESUS will judge us all.

And I found, we are much in the wrong.

That's why I write, to warn, to wake up.

To remind you to worship.

To share what wisdom is.

Always, through Scripture.

On 14 January 2020, JESUS called my attention to the Rapture.

The imminent event that concerns us all.

And I found, I've been pretty consistent in my writings.

Reflecting trustworthy teachers' findings.

Who would have thought I'd understand the Rapture easily?

Who would have thought I'd understand the Bible easily?

Who would have thought I'd understand GOD's commands easily?

GOD made it so.

He knew I waited so long for truth.

Exhausting all my time, funds, and research.

But He gave it all, the day I couldn't bear to sin anymore.

And made such a declaration in April 2019.

He made me born again FIVE months after that.

Today, it's been FIVE years since that momentous day.

I'm a FIVE-year born again today.

And I just keep looking forward to each lesson.

To each day, I'm meant to share Scripture with you.

Knowing GOD is at the helm.

Directing my EVERY step,

Guiding my EVERY thought.

Creating my EVERY article.

My confidence is in Him alone.

He gave us JESUS to follow.

Who taught us the RIGHT way back to GOD.

Through Himself.

For He lived a life of perfect obedience.

That's really what being born again means.

To know GOD's laws.

To follow them.

And to love JESUS, as you do.

John 14:15-18

King James Version

15 If ye love me, 

keep my commandments.

16 And I will pray the Father, 

and he shall give you another Comforter, 

that he may abide with you for ever;

17 Even the Spirit of truth; 

whom the world cannot receive, 

because it seeth him not, 

neither knoweth him: 

but ye know him; 

for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.

18 I will not leave you comfortless: 

I will come to you.

All the while, remembering to GIVE THANKS to the LORD.

1 Thessalonians 5:18

King James Version

18 In every thing give thanks: 

for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus 

concerning you.

I've chosen the simple path.

Possibly the simplest path of all.

But the most exciting path ever.

Treading the path JESUS paved.

Of focusing on GOD alone.

Carrying my own cross.

Walking that narrow path.

It is a path of focus.

For the world is chaotic.

Filled with sin.

Filled with temptations.

Filled with deception.

I've chosen the GOD of the HEAVENS.

Not the god of this world.

Who refuses to bow to the LORD.

At his peril.

My soul is no longer in peril.

I belong to the LORD of ALL.

JESUS.

Philippians 2:10-11

King James Version

10 That at the name of Jesus 

every knee should bow, 

of things in heaven, 

and things in earth, 

and things under the earth;

11 And that every tongue should confess 

that Jesus Christ is Lord, 

to the glory of God the Father.

Tomorrow is not my birthday.

Today is my birthday.

My TRUE birthday.

A new creature.

BORN of GOD.

2 Corinthians 5:17

King James Version

17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, 

he is a new creature: 

old things are passed away; 

behold, 

all things are become new.

BLOOKS

SEARCH for AUTHENTICITY

JESUS prays to GOD: 

John 17:16-17

King James Version

16 They are not of the world, 

even as I am not of the world.

17 Sanctify them through thy truth: 

thy word is truth.

It is good to remain independent of the world.

To not be caught up in the things of the world.

To not accept man's word as gospel.

To not be beholden to trends, or trendsetters.

To remain faithful to the conscience in you.

To remain vigilant that you do not fall into wrong ways.

To not "do, as the Romans do".

All these, I kept close to my heart.

Even when I was not yet born again before.

Making sure the world was not in me.

Even as I was in the world.

Somehow, "something" guided me.

Was it conscience?

Was it GOD?

Was it belief, in something real?

I didn't know it then.

I just knew I was ALWAYS searching for AUTHENTICITY.

For something I can really believe in.

For absolute truth I can latch on to.

For something "definite".

I could never live a fake existence.

Everything had to be true, and real, for me.

And I'm glad I held on.

No matter what the world presented.

No matter its many seductions.

With all its ads, glitter, and false promises.

I simply could not succumb.

Neither was I envious of those who lived a high life.

I could never imagine myself living such a life.

It felt like a lie.

While many were in poverty, I simply can't.

Face, fame, fortune failed to entice me.

Personal ambition failed to seduce me.

I was always weighing the "costs".

At what cost, success?

At what cost, fame?

At what cost, fortune?

Can you turn your back on who you are?

To become who you wanted to be?

I always knew it would cost something.

Things of the world were temporary.

It was dangerous getting caught up in it.

And self was all I've got then.

I could never follow blindly.

I had too many questions of my own.

"Something" always offered a healthy dose of perspective.

Saving me from neuroses, ambition, and desire for competition.

You may look good, but someone else will always look better.

You may be famous, but someone else will always be more famous.

You may be rich, but someone else will always be richer.

Those things held things in check for me.

They gave me the proper perspective.

It was a good set of brakes to have.

I had no idea those "brakes" were the SPIRIT of GOD.

Who looked upon the children of men.

To see who cared to look deeper.

To see who cared to look beyond self.

To see who cared to endure all forms of temptation.

And turn their backs on such enticements.

While searching for something true, real, and lasting.

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.

Surely, GOD knew how I was searching for Him, for the longest time.

Surely, He knew how I could never conform to the world.

Surely, He knew how I tried to figure out self.

Thus, this blog you're reading now.

We became archaeologist of the soul.

With the premise being, if I am to figure out the world, I must figure out self -- first.

It's all about authenticity.

Being true.

Being real.

Being me.

Who was I?

What was I made of?

Where am I going?

What is the path to take?

Who offers real truth?

What can I really believe in?

What is my purpose on earth?

What work should I be doing?

What should I be focusing on?

Who can I trust?

Whose words held "weight"?

On, and on, the questions grew.

GOD knew I was tenacious, but never tentative.

He knew I was persistent, but never a pest.

He knew I was faithful to self, but never obsessed with self.

He knew I was trying to figure things out on my own.

He knew I was childlike with Him, but always respectful.

He knew I'd come around, when He makes me born again.

He knew I would embrace SPIRIT, Who will teach me ALL things.

There was no way I could figure things out on my own.

My ONLY success was in NOT selling out to the world.

Not for any price.

Not for any cost.

Not at the cost of my soul.

Of course, life became a struggle, because I wouldn't give in.

My late father taught me well.

He lived, what he taught.

What a legacy!

That's what GOD looks for.

A certain faithfulness to truth.

No matter if you're not aware of what it is yet.

Not everyone's born again right away.

Not everyone gets to know JESUS right away.

Not everyone understands Scripture right way.

Not everyone gets saved right away.

Life is a process of finding out.

GOD keeps an eye on children who don't sell out.

Who keep at it, no matter the travails.

Who keep at it, no matter how long it takes.

Who can stand by their principles, no matter if they stood alone.

Do you have the courage to stand by what your parents taught you?

Even if the whole world ganged up on you?

And mocked your old-fashioned principles?

By the GRACE of GOD, I was such a person.

Predestined to belong to CHRIST.

He had a job for me to do.

All that struggle had a purpose.

By no means was it an easy task.

It was long, painful, and painstaking.

The process was not for the impatient.

It was not for those who desired shortcuts.

And yet, my life was quite an adventure, too!

An adventure in learning, and making the lessons stick.

With great potential to pass on all you've learned.

That's why my life was more polka-dotted than others' lives.

Where others seemed neat, and orderly, mine seemed chaotic.

Where others seemed "cut out", mine was largely "experimental".

Where others bought into the system, I simply couldn't.

Once you're in the "system", it will be hard to see outside of it.

You will be sucked into the system.

Many are not aware they've bought into it.

They go about it, thinking that's all there is to life.

Marriage, children, retirement.

Success, wealth, philanthropy.

Family, friends, feasts.

Youth, middle age, old age.

First home, big home, retirement home.

(And yes, tax deductions, and tax havens.)

What a limited existence that is.

As people eventually find out.

And yet, there's a part of you that feels there's more.

An inner knowing that refuses to be doused.

Why else have many gone into the boondocks?

Why else have many gone into other religions?

Why else have many gone into various practices, and such?

They're searching for something real.

For something authentic.

For something they can believe in.

For something they can live with.

For something they can give their life to.

Have you found it?

I've found mine, through CHRIST.

As born again.

As a true child of GOD.

As a faithful servant to the LORD.

As a person with no more excuses to sin.

This was the path I took:

John 14:6

King James Version

6 Jesus saith unto him, 

I am the way, the truth, and the life: 

no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

2 Corinthians 4:18

King James Version

18 While we look not at the things which are seen, 

but at the things which are not seen: 

for the things which are seen are temporal; 

but the things which are not seen are eternal.

Philippians 4:8

King James Version

8 Finally, brethren, 

whatsoever things are true, 

whatsoever things are honest, 

whatsoever things are just, 

whatsoever things are pure, 

whatsoever things are lovely, 

whatsoever things are of good report; 

if there be any virtue, 

and if there be any praise, 

think on these things.

Colossians 3:1-2

King James Version

3 If ye then be risen with Christ, 

seek those things which are above, 

where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.

2 Set your affection on things above, 

not on things on the earth.

James 1:27

King James Version

27 Pure religion and undefiled 

before God and the Father is this, 

To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, 

and to keep himself unspotted from the world.

JESUS is the answer to ALL my questions on AUTHENTICITY.

No one could be more AUTHENTIC.

Colossians 2:9

King James Version

9 For in him dwelleth 

all the fulness of the Godhead 

bodily.
