The TRUTH of the MATTER

 

Isaiah 64:6

King James Version

6 But we are all as an unclean thing, 

and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; 

and we all do fade as a leaf; 

and our iniquities, like the wind, 

have taken us away.

How impermanent our lives are!

And how we all take ourselves too seriously.

How we all want to outlive, and outdo each other.

How we all think our face, form, and fame will do the trick.

How we all try to have smart homes, when we are not so "smart".

How we want to be immaculate on the outside, when our insides are putrid, and impure.

Yes, we present a seemingly pure, perfect, and pristine image to the world.

We glorify in our brains, brawns, and "bonds".

And yet GOD knows how we really are.

That is the reality we cannot escape from.

There's no hiding from GOD, you see.

He knows our very heart, our very insides, our very thoughts, words, motives, and actions.

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.

Romans 3:9

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;

Romans 3:10-12

King James Version

10 As it is written, 

There is none righteous, no, not one:

11 There is none that understandeth, 

there is none that seeketh after God.

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 can do all the polishing, and public relations we want, but there's no hiding from the truth:

"But we are all as an unclean thing, 

and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; 

and we all do fade as a leaf;"

This is not to demean, or demoralize us.

It just is -- the TRUTH of the MATTER.

We are all a sinful bunch.

With no real LOVE for GOD.

If we did, this would not have happened:

1 Corinthians 2:7-8

King James Version

7 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, 

even the hidden wisdom, 

which God ordained before the world 

unto our glory:

8 Which none of the princes of this world knew: 

for had they known it, they would not 

have crucified the Lord of glory.

Just so we know, our breath is but a vapor.

James 4:14

King James Version

14 Whereas ye know not 

what shall be on the morrow. 

For what is your life? 

It is even a vapour, 

that appeareth for a little time, 

and then vanisheth away.

And yet there's One kind that lasts, which the LORD JESUS commands we be guided from:

John 3:6-8

King James Version

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.

And in that very 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.

Having been taught by the HOLY SPIRIT for nearly seven years now, this born again watchman/workman will never again go back to her old ways.

1 Corinthians 9:27

King James Version

27 But I keep under my body, 

and bring it into subjection: 

lest that by any means, 

when I have preached to others, 

I myself should be a castaway.

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.

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.

Let us forsake sin.

Let us repent before the LORD.

Let us know GOD's will, ways, and wisdom.

Never again must we be in the enemy's clutches.

"Be PURE for the LORD now.

Be HOLY in your ways.

Be PERFECT for GOD.

Be BORN AGAIN now."

-- "The REAL target"

Why?

"That SPIRIT may dwell in you.

The Rapture is imminent.

After which, the Tribulation will occur."

-- "The REAL target"

You cannot trust man.

Man's TRUE nature

You cannot trust the world.

KNOW the world

But you can trust JESUS.

PEACE through JESUS

He, alone, gives us the PEACE, and knowledge, we all seek.

He is our PATH to GOD:

John 14:6-7

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.

7 If ye had known me, 

ye should have known my Father also: 

and from henceforth ye know him, 

and have seen him.

JESUS is our ONLY SOURCE of TRUTH, PEACE, JOY, JUSTICE, and FREEDOM.

John 8:36

King James Version

36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, 

ye shall be free indeed.

The Terrifying Holiness of the True God (How You've Never Heard It)

The Cost of Knowing God | A. W. Tozer

FIRST church SERVICE

 1 Corinthians 1:9

King James Version

9 God is faithful, 

by whom ye were called 

unto the fellowship of his Son 

Jesus Christ our Lord.

GOD sounded the "bell".

Just one church bell ring, from a church below, and I "heard" it.

This, as I was brushing my teeth yesterday morning.

I immediately wanted to go to "church", but to a church in town.

Back to that simple, homey church I once visited, but was late for the service.

I've been born again nearly six years now, but never visited a born again church.

Only because I wanted to make sure SPIRIT led me to a church GOD approves of.

Well, that bell sounded, and I heeded the call.

I immediately dressed, and practically ran out of the house, commuted, and walked briskly by the side of the scenic park, where boaters donned life jackets, as they traversed the lake.

In times past, we never had such vests; we merely rowed, using the heavy, wooden oars -- one of which my child's hands dropped -- looked around, hoping no one saw it.

The oars must have been heavy alright, for it was not seen again.

Did people realize they needed JESUS' life-saving vest, for the storms to come?

But yesterday, all I could think of was getting to church fast.

No way was I going to be late again.

As it turned out, I was 30 minutes early, giving me time to get to know the pastor, and his wife.

As always, SPIRIT was right.

He brought me to the right place, 

at the right time, with the right people.

Lately, the pastor had been talking about the end times.

In fact, this was going to be his third talk on it.

As GOD would have it, my path was in tune with the pastor's path.

JESUS had alerted me to the end times on 14 January 2020, when He led me to a verse on the Rapture.

Like the bell that called to me yesterday, this was the particular verse that "called" to me in 2020:

Matthew 24:40

King James Version

40 Then shall two be in the field; 

the one shall be taken, and the other left.

That pretty much explained the Rapture for me then, owing to the Tim LaHaye "Left Behind" book I read once:

Interestingly, SPIRIT led me to the fact that book is celebrating its 25th anniversary this August.

The church He led me to will also be celebrating their 25th anniversary this December.

And I look to my "Scripture Numerics" book and discover the number 25 refers to "THE FORGIVENESS of SINS".

Well, today is the day for repentance.

JESUS warned us of the urgency of times:

Mark 1:15

King James Version

15 And saying, 

The time is fulfilled, 

and the kingdom of God is at hand: 

repent ye, and believe the gospel.

It also reminds me of commemorating wedding anniversaries, wherein the 25th pertains to "silver".

What does the Bible say about "silver"?

Psalm 12:6

King James Version

6 The words of the Lord are pure words: 

as silver tried in a furnace of earth, 

purified seven times.

From a single bell, to a born again church, to the end times, to the Rapture, to silver anniversaries, to Scripture on "silver".

That's the way the HOLY SPIRIT has been working in me, and through me.

That's why I'm enjoying my personal journey, despite its many early pitfalls.

All because GOD made me born again, and gave His SPIRIT to teach me.

Oh, and did I tell you that the church's songs were simple, heartfelt, and lovely?

And that one particular song -- just on JESUS -- brought tears to my eyes?

That the pastor and his wife prayed over me, welcoming me to their church?

That his wife, and a missionary, prayed over me again, as I said goodbye after the service?

That SPIRIT is now expanding this writing ministry we have?

And all because GOD made me born again six years ago.

My life has changed radically -- all for good.

Things of the world have been dropped.

Only a sincere love for CHRIST, and for others, remain.

Which SPIRIT continues to fine-tune each day.

I have so much more to learn, biblically.

I am no match for pastors who have been at it for decades.

But this much I know --

May your heart be childlike, open, and humble.

Pray to JESUS to make you born again.

Wait for GOD's call, for it will come.

SPIRIT will guide you what to do.

All for the GLORY of GOD.

And in JESUS' Name.

Amen.

The IMMEDIATE future

 

Genesis 26:19

King James Version

19 And Isaac's servants digged in the valley, 

and found there a well of springing water.

NEARLY six years ago, I started on a soul's adventure.

Wherein I intended to find out about GOD, self, and others.

I had no idea the LORD would reveal so much more.

All because I needed to look into self first.

And be authentic.

Here's the compressed journey, and findings, starting 2018.

Starting with the FIRST blog, "Archaeologist of the Soul":

24 November 2018

"EXCAVATOR of the SOUL"

I'm a modern-day archaeologist of the soul, an excavator, a soul-digger.

You will know why you do what you do, why others are the way they are, who God is, and everything that matters in this world.

Expect to go really deep into your heart, into the bone, and marrow of your being.

This blog is only for those who can laugh at themselves and their own quirks, for you will need a HUGE dose of mirth and humility. 

Hop right in and prepare for a wonderful adventure.

It takes courage to know self.

Are you prepared to know God and self, this time around? 

11 November 2021

"PLUMBING the DEPTHS of our SOUL"

Why Bible prophecy?

Why America?

We were truly digging deeper.

So deep, GOD made me born again.

The same day after watching the two videos.

In life, you merely LOVE.

And all things become clear.

The heart speaks to the heart.

I have to continue my walk with SPIRIT.

I have to continue following the LORD.

I have to carry that cross each day.

I have my family to think about.

I have GOD to serve.

I have you to think about.

I have to continue writing.

I was given a task.

We must keep going.

GOD's will be done, in us.

Let us comfort one another.

Suffering has rent my heart open.

But GOD has always wanted an open heart.

GOD will make me whole again.

For I've reached rock bottom.

----------------------

Well, I "unearthed" much along the way.

With the HOLY SPIRIT leading the way.

Opening many spiritual doors for me.

Then, out of the blue, GOD led me to "politics".

America was going to have her 2024 elections.

As if everything, from then, till now, hinged upon that.

And I truly believed, and felt, it did.

So, I sought to find out, according to Scripture.

For by 2019, GOD had made me born again.

The search took on a deeper note, and tone.

Here are excerpts of our notes, questions, and discoveries regarding American elections, and even the world's future.

-----------------------

22 July 2024

"On U.S. politics"

And what of Donald Trump?

Would GOD allow him another term as president?

Does he really love Israel?

Does he really love JESUS?

Is he being supported by the right Christians?

Perhaps, he will do better this time.

Knowing he must leave a legacy.

20 August 2024

"AMERICA in DANGER"

Five years ago, GOD made me born again.

He alerted me to the danger America is in.

Wherein she is RIPE for JUDGMENT.

She's in even greater danger now.

There will be a forthcoming U.S. elections.

Only two people to choose from.

The former president Trump.

And the aspiring candidate Harris.

One, a man.

The other, a woman.

One, trying to be godly.

The other, totally ungodly.

One, possibly offering better hope.

The other, offering absolute disaster.

27 September 2024

"IMPERMANENCE of policies"

Policies come, policies go.

As it has been, so it shall continue.

All subject to the whims and winds of man, and war.

Is the world improving?

You tell me.

But there's one thing that will never change.

We all die.

We cannot expect our policies to be the same.

People who take our place may have different agendas.

Unless we be of the same GOD SPIRIT, we cannot produce anything of real value.

Our lives are in GOD's hands.

He gave us His spirit.

Genesis 2:7

King James Version

7 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.

We must not produce "dynasties", "cronies", or "clones".

Only believers live "forever", through CHRIST.

Who promised us eternal life.

If you are a leader, whether of a family, a business, a community, an organization, or a nation, it's best you be of GOD.

Delight in the LORD.

And yet be fearful of Him.

For His policies live forever.

We are as nothing compared to His power.

5 October 2024

"The ONLY election that MATTERS"

The SUCCESS of any elected leader relies on the following:

If they have a love for GOD, or not.

If they believe in JESUS, or not.

If they are guided by SPIRIT, or not.

If they have a love for Israel, or not.

If they are born again, or not.

9 October 2024

"The FORGOTTEN principles"

That basic principle is common-sense.

In any person, in any family, in any organization, in any nation.

Satan feeds upon your ego, lust, pride, vanity, and greed.

Weakening your heart, mind, body, soul, spirit, and "home".

And then he goes in for the "kill".

Taking everyone with him.

Oh, how the game is played too often!

And yet, man never learns.

As watchman and workman for GOD, I am here to watch, warn, write, wait, and worship.

That's why we have all these blogs and books.

Which SPIRIT inspired me to write starting five years ago.

That we may warn, and wake you up.

Friends, we are hit on ALL fronts.

Whether believer, or unbeliever.

We need to know GOD's laws.

We either rise, or fall, when we follow, or don't follow, GOD's commands.

The Bible, especially the Old Testament, is filled with GOD's wrath, and judgment.

For unbelieving, unfaithful, idolatrous, adulterous, war-like, vain, greedy people.

Whether they be His chosen nation, Israel, or the enemies of Israel.

We are all under judgment if we disobey GOD's laws.

ESPECIALLY if we hurt the "apple" of His eye.

There is nothing new about man's ways.

Or his methods.

Especially if he wants to acquire something.

Or wants something destroyed.

As king Solomon said:

Ecclesiastes 1:9

King James Version

9 The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; 

and that which is done is that which shall be done: 

and there is no new thing under the sun.

Titles come, titles go.

Wealth comes, wealth goes.

Power comes, power goes.

But what will not go, is GOD.

Neither will His laws.

If we are to survive this world, it's best we turn to GOD.

Not tomorrow, but today, right this moment.

Forget about knowing anything.

Become a new person in CHRIST.

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.

Walk with GOD's SPIRIT, and you shall not be taken aback.

By any event which will happen today, or tomorrow.

For SPIRIT has mapped out man's character.

He has mapped out man's heart.

He has mapped out our future.

And it's all in Scripture.

Further, PEACE can ONLY come THROUGH JESUS.

But how many believe in the LORD JESUS?

How many follow His commands?

How many truly love Him?

JESUS is where we all begin.

And where we all end.

Romans 10:4

King James Version

4 For Christ is the end of the law 

for righteousness 

to every one that believeth.

20 October 2024

"Why you MUST turn to JESUS now!"

We have no idea the real battle.

It's a battle for our souls.

Be not of a proud heart.

Be not of a willful spirit.

Be not confident in your own abilities.

Be not deluded into thinking you are invincible.

At any given moment, GOD could cut that pride of yours.

31 October 2024

"PRAYING for AMERICA"

I have a very strange connection with America.

When GOD made me born again in 2019, right away He led me to Bible prophecy, specifically on America.

On how she is a nation "begging for destruction".

A nation calling for GOD's judgment.

GOD wants America saved.

She is the only country that once cared for Israel.

Even as this administration doesn't.

But the previous administration did.

Only GOD will decide the future of America.

America's destiny is tied up with Israel.

In fact, all our nations' futures are tied up with Israel.

How we treat her is how GOD will treat us.

Genesis 12:3

King James Version

3 And I will bless them that bless thee, 

and curse him that curseth thee:

 and in thee shall all families of the earth 

be blessed.

How we treat GOD is also how He will treat us.

Psalm 145:19-20

King James Version

19 He will fulfil the desire of them that fear him: 

he also will hear their cry, and will save them.

20 The Lord preserveth all them that love him: 

but all the wicked will he destroy.

The future of people and government lies with GOD.

Only GOD has power over everything.

We need to pray to GOD for these things:

To live right.

To think right.

To speak right.

To do right.

To be right.

All according to His laws.

Only by being born again can you begin to understand.

For SPIRIT and Scripture will teach you about JESUS.

JESUS taught us the LORD's commands.

He gave His life for us.

You will begin to understand the world's ways, versus GOD's ways.

You will be guided every step of the way.

Decision-making, on any matter, will be easy.

Both Jew and Gentile, are loved by GOD.

We must turn away from our wicked ways.

We must find our path back to GOD.

Through JESUS.

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.

8 November 2024

"An AMERICAN connection"

Today, the HOLY SPIRIT took me back into time.

All because I remembered my past work for America.

Seems America keeps "calling" to me.

The call came ever stronger before this 2024 elections.

Wherein I found myself writing about the state America is in.

The time was right, the moment was here, SPIRIT called me to it.

Before you know it, I found myself writing about the elections.

GOD gave me "Trump" four days ago.

He gave a verse specifically for the former president.

Which turned out to be prophetic.

I'd like to see what GOD wants me to discover.

And whatever He wants me to share with you.

Whether you're American, or not.

I just know it will be "substantial".

It will affect you.

And interest you.

No matter which part of the world you're in.

8 November 2024

"37 years ago"

It's like I'm a "witness" to most things.

And yet, their route didn't interest me.

That was also the time when a lot was happening in my country, and in the U.S.

I was in it, and yet "not" in it.

Everything always serves GOD's purpose.

He "positioned" me, EXACTLY where I needed to be.

Every single time, and moment.

Today, I realize the "American connection" got deeper in 2019.

Where "everything" really began for me.

9 November 2024

"The AMERICAN elections"

Kamala's policies anger the GREAT GOD.

I didn't believe GOD would allow her to bring America to further ruin.

The Biden administration was close to ruining America.

I can almost feel it was just a "matter of time", and America would fall.

Kamala was doomed to fail, right from the start.

Her ways, and policies, made me cringe.

And they made me write.

As if it was a race against time.

That I had to warn people as fast as I can about her, and the Democrats.

There was something sinister going on, and it had to stop.

Oh, how little she knows about GOD's laws regarding Israel.

Any thinking person could see the difference.

10 November 2024

"TRUMP and KAMALA"

Without SPIRIT, I'd be clueless.

10 November 2024

"TRUMP and VANCE"

Being much younger, Vance is being groomed to carry Trump's "MAGA" (Make America Great Again) mantle.

As their rallies show, both men respect each other.

Vance always deferring to Trump.

Both are true assets to each other.

If both continue honoring GOD, there's no reason why they can't succeed in any endeavor.

This is Trump's time now.

There's no stopping America's desire to heal, and get up again.

With Vance by his side, it's a win situation.

No matter the continuing sour graping around them.

GOD's will be done.

----------------------

We enter into a NEW era now.

GOD is done with the Democrats.

They had their chance, and they brazenly "blew" it.

GOD would have no more of that nonsense.

People have suffered enough.

That's why He is allowing Republican Trump's "common sense" program now.

VICTORY was achieved, only THROUGH GOD's POWER:

Psalm 44:3

King James Version

3 For they got not the land in possession 

by their own sword, neither 

did their own arm save them: 

but thy right hand, 

and thine arm, 

and the light of thy countenance, 

because thou hadst a favour unto them.

That's what America, and the world needs.

A return to GOD, truth, and justice.

We are all under GRACE now.

A "reprieve", if you want to call it that.

Even a "respite".

A time to "breathe".

A time to "regroup".

But it will be a quick respite.

Before the TRUE battle begins.

From which, there will be no turning back.

Who you give your allegiance to, indicates your future.

Time to position ourselves, probably for the LAST time.

At least, before the RAPTURE occurs.

It's really all PREPARATION now.

What we do with this GRACE, and opportunity, spells our personal future.

And all our combined future.

What's your stand on Israel?

Ah, that's very telling.

As of this writing, there is still 71 days before Trump sits at office.

From now, till then, a lot can still happen.

Trump's enemies will still want to keep him out of the White House.

We need to pray even harder that Trump and his team remain with CHRIST.

That was their strength.

It can also be their weakness, if they get distracted.

The outcome has always been consistent, and foretold.

The battle can only be won BY, and THROUGH the LORD JESUS CHRIST.

1 Corinthians 15:57

King James Version

57 But thanks be to God, 

which giveth us the victory 

through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Will the Rapture happen BEFORE Trump gets to the White House?

Or will it happen after?

Only GOD knows.

Mark 13:32-37

King James Version

32 But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, 

no, not the angels which are in heaven, 

neither the Son, 

but the Father.

33 Take ye heed, watch and pray: 

for ye know not when the time is.

34 For the Son of Man is as a man taking a far journey, 

who left his house, 

and gave authority to his servants, 

and to every man his work, 

and commanded the porter to watch.

35 Watch ye therefore: 

for ye know not 

when the master of the house cometh, 

at even, 

or at midnight, 

or at the cockcrowing, 

or in the morning:

36 Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping.

37 And what I say unto you I say unto all, 

Watch.
