Why choose not to see God now?

Image
Ever ask why give us this thick Bible?  If I get to know God in person and have all my questions answered after I passed on why give me the Bible? The only reason I can think of without referring to the Bible - it is important we learn God's Way, the Truth and inherit life age-during now that Jesus came to bore our sins, gave us the Word (The Bible), gave us the Holy Spirit. To embrace the heaven on earth is a choice. Redemption is the licence to enter the gate of heaven,  it's just the beginning.   Let's pursue the high calling of God with the help of the Word and the Holy Spirit, be the sons and daughters that following Him - a disciple Amen. YLT Phil 3:12: "12 Not that I did already obtain, or have been already perfected; but I pursue, if also I may lay hold of that for which also I was laid hold of by the Christ Jesus;" Abba Father, Thank You for Your Son Jesus Christ, the Word and the Holy Spirit.   Thank You for the journey of transformation.  I ...

Did the plagues spoiled the Egyptians?

Did the plagues spoiled the Egyptians? Just realised I was prompted three days continuously on the topic spoiled the Egyptians 😌 a way out how to deliver the message without jumpers here and there that I had caught in for a week. 🤔 Partial? Nope.  Not at all. The plagues serve a different purpose.  Read again. Exo 3:19-20: 19 `And I -- I have known that the king of Egypt doth not permit you to go, unless by a strong hand, 20 and I have put forth My hand, and have smitten Egypt with all My wonders, which I do in its midst -- and afterwards he doth send you away. The plagues are to smitten Egypt (the siege) that afterwards he doth send the drawn (the delivered) away. The Pharoah (great house) did believe Jehovah is God, but believed is one thing spoiled is another.  Believed doesn't mean spoiled. Spoiled means to snatch away, deliver, rescue, save, strip, plunder. Beside to show God's wonders that the people believe Jehovah is God, the plagues has...

Why Psalms in Luk 24?

Image
Why Psalms was not mentioned in Luk 24:27 as in Luk 24:44? Luk 24:27: "27 and having begun from Moses, and from all the prophets, he was expounding to them in all the Writings the things about himself." Luk 24:44-45: 44 and he said to them, `These [are] the words that I spake unto you, being yet with you, that it behoveth to be fulfilled all the things that are written in the Law of Moses, and the Prophets, and the Psalms, about me.` 45 Then opened he up their understanding to understand the Writings," Psalms exist only when we have relationship with Jesus.  No relationship with Jesus, no relationship with God the Father, no Psalms. Relationship needs to be cultivated through interaction and fellowship.  Jesus finished work at the Cross is just the beginning of our relationship with God, not the end. Psalms is mentioned because relationship with God is very important. If we have the understanding of the Law of Moses and the Prophets but no relationship...

What's the power in the Name?

Image
The two most powerful Names. Father & Jesus. Have you ever ask why Jesus said, 'Ask in my Name'? I did. 'Why must ask in His Name?' 🙄 Jesus boast in the Father, but not Himself, Jesus is humble. Then why? Why ask in His Name? Mat 11:29-30: 29 take up my yoke upon you, and learn from me, because I am meek and humble in heart, and ye shall find rest to your souls, 30 for my yoke [is] easy, and my burden is light.`" Phil 2:8: 8 and in fashion having been found as a man, he humbled himself, having become obedient unto death -- death even of a cross," Jesus is humble in heart. 'God the Father only answer pray in His Son's Name?' 🤔 No.  No. God the Father is the Almighty God.  He is not into whether the person seek His help mentioned His Son's Name. It's what these people believe when they seek for help. The name Jesus means 'Jehovah is Salvation'  ðŸ“Œ Ask in believe, in revelation JEHOVAH IS SALVATI...

TESTIFY

Image
For if I testify concerning myself, my testimony is not true. John 5:31: "`If I testify concerning myself, my testimony is not true;" John 5:32: "another there is who is testifying concerning me, and I have known that the testimony that he doth testify concerning me is true;" John 5:33: "ye have sent unto John, and he hath testified to the truth." Also, the sheep recognize the voice of the Shepherd.  God testify. Learn more. 📌 Praises help us to sharpen our alertness toward God, help us to tune toward God's Voice. Do remember to come back to Him with praises and fellowship with Him. Abba Father, I Thank You for Your daily Word for me, speak to me daily without fail. Thank You for have time for me, fellowship with me. May You continue to fellowship with me daily in Jesus Name Amen. Learn more Testify I Learn more Testify II John 3:16: for God did so love the world, that His Son -- the only begotten -- He gave, that every one wh...

How do you know is Him? (Part III)

Image
How is it being testified? The Witness of the Father John 5:37: "37 `And the Father who sent me Himself hath testified concerning me; ye have neither heard His voice at any time, nor His appearance have ye seen;" So how? I have neither heard His voice at any time, nor His appearance has seen, how? God the Father, Lord the Son - the Word, the Holy Spirit has different role in our life. Holy Spirit :- Cultivating our gifts, teaches us, guiding us, like a mother nurturing us, our help. Testify to us through a small still voice. Testify and speak at the unexpected time and occasion that our flesh can not manipulate. Like wind, can't predict. Lord the Son - the Word :- In charge of ministrations.  Testify to us through the Bible, sermons especially from the Sunday service or random played sermons or someone shared sermon lead to that confirmation sermon. God the Father :- Working the all in all.  He plans.  Testify to us through His plan.  We see things...

How do you know is Him? (Part II)

Image
So, what if I'm still in the midst of decerning which is from God, which voice is His? The second way to 'Know' is 'Testify'. To those received their Salvation,  - God Himself will testify,  - the Works of 'those of Christ' will testify,  - the child of God who has the Spirit will testify. I will share how is it being testified in the blog post 'How do you know is Him? (Part III)' God Himself testify: 1Jn 5:6-7: 6 This one is he who did come through water and blood -- Jesus the Christ, not in the water only, but in the water and the blood; and the Spirit it is that is testifying, because the Spirit is the truth, 7 because three are who are testifying [in the heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit, and these -- the three -- are one; The Witness of the Works of Christ (those of Christ): John 5:36: 36 `But I have the testimony greater than John`s, for the works that the Father gave me, that I might finish them, the wo...

How do you know is Him? (Part I)

Image
I think everyone of us, believers and non-believers all did ask this question. 'How do you know is God?' 'The small still voice could be your mind play trick on you.' Most will tell, 'I just know.' They are not lying.  Some believers said, 'I'm not very sure.', that's truth too. 🙄😌 📌 The Key to the answer is 'Know'. Two ways to 'Know'. Firstly, would you recognize someone's voice if you never heard before? Even a child, they recognize their parents' voice through cumulate interactions. John 10:14: "14 `I am the good shepherd, and I know my [sheep], and am known by mine," How to know?  Read the Bible. Can anyone describe a person's voice and a person never heard of the voice identify him just base on the description?  No. To recognize God's voice, no short cut but to know Him through the Bible.  That's a pattern (sorry can't find right word to describe) when He speak...

Spots The Differences

Image
Ever play this game?  I love it before I entered my teen. Those in the Bible much more rewarding 😎 🙄🤔 Not a single word is insignificant in the Bible.  There's no redundant word. Do use the Bible version closed to the original Bible word and the arrangements of words.  I use YLT version and BDB-T dictionary. Spots the differences in the Bible and be rewarded.  The differences in the Bible is not by mistakes.  There are teachings in the differences. I will share more about the teachings I received from the differences mentioned in the Bible in times to come.  Stay tuned. I like to take this opportunity to thank the author of MyBible who developed such an awesome app with all the needy for the ease of understand the Word. A Mighty work that bring glory to the Lord. Denys Dolganenko, the author of the project and the developer of the Android application (Kharkov, Ukraine). https://mybible.zone/ Lord Jesus, Tha...
