The Path to PROPHECY

 

Psalm 16:11 

King James Version

11 Thou wilt shew me the path of life: 

in thy presence is fulness of joy; 

at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.

Very strange how the Lord JESUS brought me upon the path to prophecy from day one.

That's been nearly 19 months now, and I am continually astounded at how the Holy Spirit guides me each day.

The volume of lessons alone are amazing, and leaves me all excited.

As such, I was led to create 24 blogs, as of this writing.

What am I to do when the Holy Spirit leads?

I merely follow.

And last night, we started a new thread.

This time on prophets.

I already know where this is going.

But I have to work on it, for there is a lot to study.

I remain true to God's Word, and I must be precise.

But I am grateful for the task given.

When you serve God, as a born again, you obey.

And yet, it's such a delight to obey, for God is TRUTH.

His truth has been the one I had been seeking for the longest time, thus, all the books I read.

And yet, He gently chides me, that I never read HIS BOOK.

Which I started reading in autumn of 2019, making my life and work blossom, in a way the world can never make it blossom.

If anything, the world and I are not on the same path.

I have chosen the path, back to God.

And I call upon you now, inviting you to do the same.

For the path is the only path that makes sense.

Especially in these times.

Wherein God's faithful can meet the Lord JESUS up in the air -- anytime God chooses.

Would you be ready then?

How the Holy SPIRIT Writes Through Me

 

3 And said, 

Verily I say unto you, 

Except ye be converted, 

and become as little children, 

ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.

Matthew 18:3 

King James Version

I don't know if you know about the Holy SPIRIT of God.

And if you do, I also don't know how He works with you.

But this I know -- how He works and writes -- through me.

When it comes to the LORD Jesus, I approached Him, knowing nothing, and yet wanting to know EVERYTHING.

So, He let me immerse myself in Scripture for a year, to familiarize myself with His WORDS.

Then He started showing me a different way of sharing verses with you.

But only because He knows my heart.

I like writing and sharing simply.

I like precision, and clarity.

I like God's TRUTH alone.

I like JESUS' words, just as He said it.

So, Jesus worked with all that, and I found my writing was transformed in a fun, and easy way, even as Scripture could be complex.

I approached God's WORD from the point of view of a child, eager to know what it's all about, and just reading Scripture AS IS.

It's good I'm not a theologian.

I'm just a curious child, eager to learn, eager to share ALL that Jesus had to say, especially in this day, and age.

A very good example is this post I wrote yesterday, from a new blog I created a few days ago.

I noticed this is how Holy Spirit and I work together:

1. He would inspire me with an IDEA for an article.

2. He would let me search for the PERFECT verse to accompany that article.

3. He would guide me HOW to deliver the verses to you. We usually focus on phrases or a word at a time. Just so you know, EACH word has GREAT power.

4. He would do the EDITING, and the finished article would initially look normal, until I'd find LARGER fonts -- as if randomly -- when I know it is by His direct, DIVINE design, wanting to emphasize particular words, and phrases.

So, my article shares God's verses, looking more like poetry, short, and precise, but fun, and easy to read -- clear as the light of day -- all because The Holy SPIRIT coached me to take it a phrase, or a word, at a time.

And then I thought to myself, why should I be surprised that the LORD would teach me that way, or have our ideas (His TEACHINGS) published in a quirky way, when He is the MASTER of WORDS.

Jesus is the WORD of God, as these verses would show.

13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: 

and his name is called The Word of God.

Revelation 19:13 (KJV)

1 In the beginning was the Word, 

and the Word was with God, 

and the Word was God.

2 The same was in the beginning with God.

3 All things were made by him; 

and without him was not any thing made that was made.

4 In him was life; 

and the life was the light of men.

John 1:1-4 (KJV)

14 And the Word was made flesh, 

and dwelt among us, 

(and we beheld his glory, 

the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) 

full of grace and truth.

John 1:14 (KJV)

That's why EVERY word from GOD has GREAT power.

And that's why I take it a word at a time, as if a child just learning her ABCs.

In the process, I understand Scripture so much better now.

God DESIGNED my learning process.

He is the ARCHITECT of ALL.

He will design yours, too, if you dearly desire to know His WORD.

"The Simplicity of SCRIPTURE" articles

What it Means to WORK for Jesus

30 He must increase, 

but I must decrease.

John 3:30 

King James Version

When I first became a born-again Christian last year, and I learned* of that verse above, I knew that was my "flagship" verse -- the one carrying the "Commander" of my "fleet".

The fleet was my soul.

It was going to be rough seas.

Of course, JESUS was my Commander.

Somehow -- maybe because I searched for it so long -- the moment I knew Jesus was my COMMANDER, my soul instinctively knew what to do.

I shrugged off the talons that previously tried to latch upon my heart, that which made sure I wouldn't find Jesus, or even seek the Lord.

I threw away all the esoteric books of my previous research; I started reading Genesis, the Four Gospels, and Revelation instead.

I made sure Jesus was the only Commander I followed.

I studied the 10 Commandments.

And, of course, I was painfully wrong on so many counts.

Only JESUS could forgive me on all those grievous errors.

Only by the GRACE of God could I be reconciled with God.

In my work, every article written had to be backed by SCRIPTURE, and not like how I did it before, through my own "steam" and energy.

Now, it was ALL Spirit.

27 And I will put my spirit within you, 

and cause you to walk in my statutes, 

and ye shall keep my judgments, 

and do them.

Ezekiel 36:27 

King James Version 

The Holy SPIRIT was a gift from God, tasked to teach us all things. 

In the beginning, GOD gave us everything.

Then, our hard-heartedness caused JESUS to be sent to save us from our sins.

And when Jesus went back to the Father, it's now the Holy SPIRIT which sets everything straight about the TRIUNE God, and everything about Scripture.

It really is the ERA of the Holy SPIRIT now, at this very crucial stage of our lives, where nothing seems to make sense in this world -- where all our souls are at stake.

More than ever, we need the SPIRIT of TRUTH, which is the Holy Spirit of God.

That's what it means to work for JESUS.

You listen to the Holy SPIRIT of God, you become obedient to the LAWS of God, you follow JESUS, and only by GRACE are we saved.

It was never through good works.

8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; 

and that not of yourselves: 

it is the gift of God:

9 Not of works, 

lest any man should boast.

Ephesians 2:8-9 

King James Version

Working for Jesus means you are obedient to the FATHER, as in the first part of the prayer Jesus taught us: 

2 And he said unto them, 

When ye pray, 

say, 

Our Father which art in heaven, 

Hallowed be thy name. 

Thy kingdom come. 

Thy will be done, 

as in heaven, 

so in earth.

Luke 11:2 

King James Version

All my articles from September 2019, to the present, are all about JESUS now.

You may not be able to imagine the joy and excitement in my heart, at discovering more about the LORD each day, and writing about it.

I couldn't wait to share it all with you.

Some days I write three articles, one after the other.

That's how powerful the Holy SPIRIT is, and I had not seen anything yet.

Well, we did work on 22 books on spiritual warfare in 36 days.

And two more books on Jesus followed.

That was something!

And yet, I never got tired, bored, or confused.

The articles and books just kept coming.

That's how it is to work for Jesus.

Whatever work you may do, I hope you call upon Jesus to help you.

Let the SPIRIT of God shine upon your soul, so you can get things right.

Consider the work you do, sacred.

When you think that, you will call upon God to help you do the best work of your life, if that is really your intention.

The world will be blessed by your work, only if you allow God to work in your heart, to heal you of your ills, to correct whatever errors you may have, and to answer all the questions hovering regarding your heart, mind, body, and spirit.

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

but of power, 

and of love, 

and of a sound mind.

2 Timothy 1:7 

King James Version

When you walk with God, when you follow Jesus, you walk with the Holy SPIRIT.

You will always know what to do.

The JOY of Following JESUS

It has been a year, that I first followed Jesus.

I had no idea it would be this FUN!

How the LORD repaired my soul, my strength, my being.

How His Holy SPIRIT taught me things about Him.

How He brought me ever closer to His FATHER.

How my work blossomed, under His care, and guidance.

How all my simple needs are being met.

How nothing else matters, but Him.

How soothing SCRIPTURE is.

How MAGNIFICENT the Lord GOD is!

How I had been writing since 3 a.m., and the ideas continue.

All come from the SPIRIT of God, this new life, these new lessons, this new happiness!

How tireless it is to serve the LORD.

How the perfect verse is supplied, for all my questions.

How perfect understanding is given about those verses.

You see, I approach God from a child's heart, a heart that I will always have.

SPIRIT and I play with ideas, as He allows me to gaily search for verses -- perfect choices for what God wants to say to me, for me, and even "through" me.

As a result, I get to write articles, non-stop, all backed by SCRIPTURE.

Everything is about JESUS now.

How the Lord is wonderful, merciful, loving, glorious, magnificent, and consistent.

How I seem to be living in a world all my own, just God, and I.

How I understand the world, and have no fear about what it's doing.

How my faith rests in JESUS alone.

"The reason most people don't have a testimony, 
is they can't defend their faith." 

Dr. Charles F. Stanley declared that on the 27:53 minute of this video.

Well, I have a testimony, and you're reading it now.

It's a child-like testimony of what God can do to your life, if only you'd allow Him.

And I ask, why must we even "allow" God?

God must HAVE our whole life!

He IS our CREATOR.

He's got every right!

Without God, we won't even exist.

Even a child can understand the importance of that.

But adults think they are wiser, more in tune to the world, and all that.

Well, the world is out of tune.

I'm only attuned to the SPIRIT of God.

I only listen to the music of God in my soul.

Only JESUS will lead you back to God.

And thus, you must follow Him.

There are no two ways about it.

Follow Jesus, and you will be taught the ways of the LORD.

It may not be easy for others, but because I've searched for God's Truth ALL my life, and when I was led to JESUS -- "the way, the truth, and the life" -- I dropped EVERYTHING that was not of Christ.

Even as I was in so much error, following Jesus was easy for me.

The Holy SPIRIT of God knew how to lead me back to Jesus -- INSTANTLY!

All that caused my soul harm, all that displeased the Lord, I had to let go of.

In my search for God's TRUTH, I read so many books, except they were esoteric stuff, supposedly "hidden" truth.

Not so.

The ONLY reference should have been the BIBLE -- the Word of God.

Thing is, there were so many versions.

Anyway, the SPIRIT of God led me to one that is attuned to my soul -- the King James Version, or KJV.

It's "old English", but I don't mind.

I seem to comprehend it.

A child-like soul comprehends the "old English" version of the Bible?

Weird, but it works.

Only through the SPIRIT of God do I comprehend that supposedly difficult and archaic version.

I'm no expert, but God leads me each day.

I can't wait for Him to unfold new treasures each day.

Such as verses I can explore, through my writings.

The WORD of God is truly MAGNIFICENT!

You will never fear the world again.

Maybe, the world will fear you -- all because you have JESUS in your heart!

Such is your delight when you find JESUS.

You become confident in Him.

You have the WORD of God in you.

JESUS is the Word of God.

The Word of God is the BIBLE.

So, wouldn't that make JESUS the BIBLE?

Aha!

See what I mean?

You never know what you'll discover, if your heart is attuned to God, eager to know His TRUTH alone.

Each day becomes magnificent!

Open your heart to the Lord now!

You will experience joy, strength, love, and confidence the world can never give you.

Find your peace in God.

My Work as Writer and Warrior For God

14 Do all things without murmurings and disputings:

15 That ye may be blameless and harmless, 

the sons of God, 

without rebuke, 

in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, 

among whom ye shine as lights in the world;

16 Holding forth the word of life; 

that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, 

that I have not run in vain, 

neither laboured in vain.

Philippians 2:14-16 

King James Version

I love my work -- writing for God.

But I didn't know I was a warrior for God, too.

Joseph, my Bible teacher, pointed that out to me.

And it made me cry.

When something is so powerful -- from the Holy Spirit -- you recognize it.

And if your heart is true, you'd know, and you'd surely cry, too.

The things of the SPIRIT are powerful.

Your feelings, when moved by the Holy Spirit of God, signify your authenticity as a servant of the LORD.

I serve God.

I follow Jesus.

I am being instructed by the Holy Spirit of God each day.

The Holy Spirit teaches me everything about Jesus.

Jesus teaches me everything about God.

God gave us the Holy Spirit, to teach us about Jesus.

Can you see how it all works?

It's always full circle with the TRIUNE God.

God, the FATHER; 

God, the SON; 

God, the HOLY SPIRIT.

In school, they didn't elaborate about the Triune God.

Understandable, for it can be complex.

It's only when I became a born-again Christian, studying the verses the Holy Spirit of God would lead me to, that I began to piece the puzzle, and establish the BEAUTIFUL connection among all of them.

Then, my work blossomed.

I began to know who I really am, what I really was, what I needed to do, who I needed to serve, who to believe, who to trust, and what to work on.

God knows I like to self-study, so He worked with what He had given me.

He created me in the first place.

He knew what I was all about.

He knew how my life would be.

He knew how I'd turn out.

But He allowed me my choices.

Often, it was those wrong choices, that built strength, character, and perseverance -- testing the mettle of your spirit -- only if you'd allow it to.

Strangely, wrongful choices teach one the most.

He knew I was His own, but I had to go through so much challenges, so many errors, so many revelatory dreams, so much preparation, for my work to be established.

Forged by fire, my heart of steel melts in God's hands.

He knew my difficult life, was going to serve the work I was purposed to do for Him.

I chose Him, above everything else the world had to offer.

And I stood by it, for the longest time.

The riches of the world are temporary, and don't fill my heart.

If anything, they endanger my soul.

So, the decision was pretty easy.

I write about the GLORY of God.

I write about the GIFTS of the Holy Spirit.

I write about the MAGNIFICENCE of Jesus.

I write about Bible PROPHECY.

I write about SPIRITUAL warfare.

I write about SCRIPTURE.

I write about REPENTANCE.

I write about the NEW Jerusalem.

I write about COMPASSION.

And all these I share with whoever cares to listen, with whoever's heart stirs for the LORD.

God lives in you.

How can He not?

He breathed life in you.

"And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, 

and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; 

and man became a living soul."

Genesis 2:7 

King James Version

And now, that life is being snuffed out of us, by the enemies of Christ, in more ways than you can imagine, we followers of Jesus must pay more attention to the workings of the Holy SPIRIT, and hold fast to JESUS.

As always, the enemy's objective is mockery of God.

They cannot stand the PERFECTION of the LORD.

Thus, I quadruple my work.

And I put on my spiritual armor.

Yes, perhaps, I am a warrior for God, after all.
