Pleasure

War, family dispute, grievance, controversy, quarrel, fighting are just the end result of the wars fought within our body.

Jas 4:1 From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even from your lusts that war in your members?

In the above instance, evidently, the flesh won against the spirit.

Gal 5:17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other; so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.

Remember that the Children of God don't wrestle against flesh and blood nor use force to enforce personal interest.

Eph 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

Killing will not save the body from eternal punishment, it is the doing of the flesh that we are to get rid of or kill. 

Col 3:5 Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; lewdness, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:

1 Cor 5:11 But now I have written to you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother is a lewd person, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner: with such person no not to eat.

The truth is, we must take wrong  and suffer ourselves to be defrauded by the so called brethren.

In a husband & wife relationship for example, each one has its own personal opinion unacceptable to the other. One has to give in for the issue to be resolved, otherwise something worst might happen. Giving in indeed is not a sign of being weak in the hope that he/she will realize later his/her wrong doings.

1 Cor 6:7 Now therefore there is utterly a fault among you, because ye go to law one with another. Why do ye not rather take wrong? why do ye not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded?

The resulting controversy however, grieve the Holy Spirit of God that might leave us groping in the dark.

Eph 4:30 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed to the day of redemption.

There is no better things done by man under the sun. Everything is done in satisfying the lusts of the flesh.

Eccles 8:15 Then I commended mirth, because a man hath no better thing under the sun, than to eat, and to drink, and to be merry: for that shall abide with him of his labor the days of his life, which God giveth him under the sun.

Saving for incoming birthday, blessing of the house, feast in honor of whomsoever & such other vainly provisions are for the lusts of the flesh.

Rom 13:14 But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the lusts of flesh.

Even at this instance alone we will know who is the children of God & who is not. For they that loveth pleasure are the children of the devil.

1 Jn 3:9 Whoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.

1 Jn 3:10 In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.

Without Faith

There are three (3) kinds of sins committed by man.

First: The sins of commission - Those who walk not in spirit and fulfilling the lust of the flesh.

Galatians 5:19-21 Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

Second: The sins of omission - The coward whose works are lukewarm and neither cold nor hot.

Romans 12:9 Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil. Cling to what is good.

Finally: The sins committed by unbelievers - like Cain whose offerings are done without faith.

Hebrews 11:4 By faith Abel offered God a better sacrifice than Cain did. By faith he was commended as a righteous man, when God spoke well of his offerings. And by faith he still speaks, even though he is dead.

Hebrews 11:5 By faith Enoch was taken away so that he did not see death, “and was not found, because God had taken him”; for before he was taken he had this testimony, that he pleased God.

Hebrews 11:7 By faith Noah, being divinely warned of things not yet seen, moved with godly fear, prepared an ark for the saving of his household, by which he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness which is according to faith.

Hebrews 11:8 By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to the place which he would receive as an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going.

Hebrews 11:11 By faith Sarah herself also received strength to conceive seed, and she bore a child when she was past the age, because she judged Him faithful who had promised.

And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.

What is then the gravest sin among the three (3)? They are all sins with the same destination - the fiery lake of burning sulfur.

Revelation 21:8 But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.

The Inward Man

Do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. It is the outward man that they can kill & destroy.

2 Corinthians 4:16 Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day.

That is why, we must be born by the spirit.

John 3:6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

If indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you, you are in the Spirit, for those who are in the flesh cannot please God.

Romans 8:16 The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God,

Moreover, even unclean spirits can enter and dwell in a man.

Mark 5:8-9 For He said to him, “Come out of the man, unclean spirit!” Then He asked him, “What is your name?” And he answered, saying, “My name is Legion; for we are many.”

Imagine a Legion of unclean spirit that can dwell in your body?

Mark 5:13 And at once Jesus gave them permission. Then the unclean spirits went out and entered the swine (there were about two thousand); and the herd ran violently down the steep place into the sea, and drowned in the sea.

By definition: A Legion is the major unit of the Roman army consisting of 3,000 to 6,000 infantry troops and 100 to 200 cavalry troops. How unrighteous that one man can be?

Blessed are those who hear the word of God and keep it. Offer your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service.

1 John 5:18 We know that whoever is born of God does not sin; but he who has been born of God keeps himself, and the wicked one does not touch him.

James 4:7 Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.

Simple & Obvious

When it comes to religion, nobody will ever claim that theirs are not authentic. The question is, How do you know that their doctrine is from God? The answer is very simple and obvious. The evidence can seen clearly by the eye.

John 7:17 If anyone wills to do His will, he shall know concerning the doctrine, whether it is from God or whether I speak on My own authority.

The doctrine is already written but many are selective on what they are going to teach. May be because the practice is in existence since birth and introducing a new law will harvest disagreements from all sectors of society.

Details below are discussed already in my previous posts but I find it necessary to mention it again.

The Man with long hair is a disgrace unto him but the woman with long hair is her covering or protection against bad angels.

1 Corinthians 11:14-15 Does not even nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a dishonor to him? But if a woman has long hair, it is a glory to her; for her hair is given to her for a covering.

It is a hair covering & definitely it's not a hat, veil, turban, cap or anything that can be worn on the head. Therefore, cutting the hair of the woman is removing her covering or protection.

1 Corinthians 11:10 For this reason the woman ought to have a symbol of authority on her head, because of the angels.

God want women to get in there with the men in humility, not primping before a mirror or chasing the latest fashions but doing something beautiful for God and becoming beautiful doing it. Imagine a woman going to Church with protruding cleavage, short shorts, backless & exposing her navel or nipple to arouse the desire of men.

1 Timothy 2:9 in like manner also, that the women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with propriety and moderation, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or costly clothing,

Announce this doctrine in a congregation then enforce it and let's see how many are left.

James 2:10 For whoever shall keep the whole law, and yet stumble in one point, he is guilty of all.

Whisper In The Corner

One important past event in the Bible is the suspension of members of the Church of God.

1 Corinthians 5:13 But those who are outside God judges. Therefore “put away from yourselves the evil person.

The worst and the most scary judgment is when two members were delivered by Saint Paul to Satan.

1 Timothy 1:20 of whom are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I delivered to Satan that they may learn not to blaspheme.

Their activities are done not in the open but whispered in a corner which temporarily escapes attention but revealed in the end.

2 Timothy 2:17 And their message will spread like cancer. Hymenaeus and Philetus are of this sort,

The apostles told beforehand that there would be mockers in the last time who would walk according to their own ungodly lusts. These are sensual persons, who cause divisions in the Church, not having the Spirit.

Jude 1:16 These are grumblers, complainers, walking according to their own lusts; and they mouth great swelling words, flattering people to gain advantage.

And this is not just a thing of the past. The putting away of members who fight against the teachings and delivering them to Satan, are still on-going inside the Church of God.

It's a continuing process, started by a whisper in the corner.

All Souls Day

It's All Souls Day again for the devotees and I just want to mention few things to remember.

First, the prayers and offerings for the dead has nothing to do with their salvation.

Ecclesiastes 9:5 For the living know that they will die; But the dead know nothing, And they have no more reward, For the memory of them is forgotten.

Second, the dead don't have a day and visiting them to show your love and compassion is something the dead will never know.

Ecclesiastes 9:6 Also their love, their hatred, and their envy have now perished; Nevermore will they have a share In anything done under the sun.

Third, the dead shall be judged according to the works done while still living.

Revelation 20:12 And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books.

Knowing that we shall be judged for our own sin, we can do nothing for the salvation of the dead.

Deuteronomy 24:16 “Fathers shall not be put to death for their children, nor shall children be put to death for their fathers; a person shall be put to death for his own sin.

What is All Souls Day then? Perhaps, a picnic, a gatherings or a family get together that can be done with or without the dead under.

Circumcision Of The Heart

Never thought that the gospel was preached to Abraham beforehand.

Galatians 3:8 And the Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel to Abraham beforehand, saying, “In you all the nations shall be blessed.

Abraham was circumcised at the age of 99 years old - a covenant between him and God.

Genesis 17:1 When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the LORD appeared to Abram and said to him, “I am Almighty God; walk before Me and be blameless.

Genesis 17:10-11 This is My covenant which you shall keep, between Me and you and your descendants after you: Every male child among you shall be circumcised; and you shall be circumcised in the flesh of your foreskins, and it shall be a sign of the covenant between Me and you.

For he who is keeping the law, it is circumcision and will become uncircumcision when he breaks the law.

Romans 2:25 For circumcision is indeed profitable if you keep the law; but if you are a breaker of the law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision.

It's not the cut of a knife that makes a Jew. You become a Jew by who you are.

Romans 2:29 but he is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the Spirit, not in the letter; whose praise is not from men but from God.

Abraham is a Gentile and was circumcised of the flesh, and so are we.

2 Corinthians 3:6 who also made us sufficient as ministers of the new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.

Jesus Christ The Reformist

John 1:18 No one has seen God at any time. The only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, He has declared Him.

I was lead to believe that Israel being God's people have seen God in person many times.

Exodus 19:20 Then the LORD came down upon Mount Sinai, on the top of the mountain. And the LORD called Moses to the top of the mountain, and Moses went up.

But reading the verses below proved to me otherwise.

Acts 7:30 “And when forty years had passed, an Angel of the Lord appeared to him in a flame of fire in a bush, in the wilderness of Mount Sinai.

Acts 7:38 “This is he who was in the congregation in the wilderness with the Angel who spoke to him on Mount Sinai, and with our fathers, the one who received the living oracles to give to us,

It was an angel of the Lord whom Moses see and giving the law of a fleshly commandment.

And by Him (Christ Jesus) who has come, not according to the law of a fleshly commandment, but according to the power of an endless life, everyone who believes is justified from all things from which you could not be justified by the law of Moses.

Hebrews 9:9-10 It was symbolic for the present time in which both gifts and sacrifices are offered which cannot make him who performed the service perfect in regard to the conscience— concerned only with foods and drinks, various washings, and fleshly ordinances imposed until the time of reformation.

That time of reformation was done by no less than our Lord Jesus Christ.

Hebrews 9:15 And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions [that were] under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.

Born Again Christian Full Gospel

Christian is one who professes belief in Jesus as Christ, one who follows the religion based on the life and teachings of Jesus or one who lives according to the doctrines or teachings of Jesus.

One of Jesus teachings to be born again is the baptism in water and the spirit. How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born?

John 3:5-6 Jesus answered, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

But after the baptism in water, to never thirst, one has to drink the living water Jesus shall give which is a gift of God known as the gospel of Christ.

John 4:13-14 Jesus answered and said to her, “Whoever drinks of this water will thirst again, but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life.

Being born in spirit, we must worship God in spirit and in truth.

John 4:24 God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.

If they call themselves born again christian, Is there a Christian who is not born again?

Some would pervert the gospel of Christ preaching another gospel disguised as full gospel which is another form of deception.

Galatians 1:8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.

Born again christian full gospel is a not sure sort of doctrine conceptualized by people who are not biblical at all.

Satan The Movie

Remember the scene where Satan tempted Jesus who was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness?

Matthew 4:8-9 Again, the devil took Him up on an exceedingly high mountain, and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. And he said to Him, “All these things I will give You if You will fall down and worship me.”

I already read this verse before but the first thing that came to my mind is the showing of only the places that can be seen by an eye far above the high mountain where the devil took Jesus.

For you to show all the kingdoms of the world and their glory, you have to use a medium with the help of a satellite. It is some kind of an illusion to make it appear in front of a viewer. It is like showing a movie.

The tempting scene showed the unlimited power of Satan but it manifested also his very limited power.

Matthew 4:3 Now when the tempter came to Him, he said, “If You are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread.”

Clearly, Satan can not make the stones to become bread. It is likely more convincing for him to tempt Jesus who fasted 40 days and 40 nights if he presented a bread instead of stones.

Matthew 4:5-6 Then the devil took Him up into the holy city, set Him on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down. For it is written: ‘ He shall give His angels charge over you,’ and, ‘ In their hands they shall bear you up, Lest you dash your foot against a stone.’

Satan as a natural brute beasts, a murderer made to be taken and destroyed, can not just push and kick our Lord Jesus Christ down below the pinnacle of the temple. This is a clear manifestation of his very limited power but has the power to deceive the whole world.

Revelation 12:9 So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

The Naked Heart

We can not hide anything from God. Aside from the eyes looking at us from a distance, He knows anything about us through the heart.

Jeremiah 17:9 The heart [is] deceitful above all [things], and desperately wicked: who can know it?

He knows the heart of a man including that of the angels.

Ezekiel 28:16 By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.

Ezekiel 28:17 Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee.

Even Satan who said in his heart he likes to be the Most High was not kept in secret.

Isaias 13:12-14 “ How you are fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How you are cut down to the ground, You who weakened the nations! For you have said in your heart: ‘ I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God; I will also sit on the mount of the congregation On the farthest sides of the north; I will ascend above the heights of the clouds, I will be like the Most High.’

What on earth that we can do that He can't see? Nothing, nothing but nothing.

Hebrews 4:13 Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things [are] naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do.

Unrighteous Law

Violators of the law don't understand neither what they say or do for although looking they can not see, and although listening they can not understand, so they may not repent and be forgiven.

1 Timothy 1:9-10 Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine;

Not looking back, after we have received the knowledge of the truth being saved by grace through faith, we all learned that the spirit giveth life. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made us free from the law of sin and death.

Romans 8:1 [There is] therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

For they that are after the flesh and doing the things of the flesh, they will still remain under the law purposely made for the unrighteous.

Man Made

The Scripture according to those who don't believe is only made and written by men and therefore it has flaws and contradictions where some things are hard to understand.

2 Peter 3:16 As also in all [his] epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as [they do] also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.

A nest made by a bird is for the bird but everything used by human are created out of man's ingenuity.

A computer is made only by man yet we are using it as reference. It is illogical if the prophecy of the scripture that came not by the will of man can not be used for the reason it is man made.

2 Peter 1:19-21 We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake [as they were] moved by the Holy Ghost.

If the prophecy of the scripture did not ever comes about by the prophet’s own imagination, then, in who's power it came from?

Isaiah 34:16 Seek ye out of the book of the LORD, and read: no one of these shall fail, none shall want her mate: for my mouth it hath commanded, and his spirit it hath gathered them.

Bitter Than Death

I was raised up to the idea that men are by nature polygamous. As the mind is set on the things of the flesh, It is but natural to have relationships with women.

Romans 8:5 For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.

But those who are not in the flesh pleases God.

Ecclesiastes 7:26 And I find more bitter than death. The woman whose heart is snares and nets, Whose hands are fetters. He who pleases God shall escape from her, But the sinner shall be trapped by her.

About Trinity

The belief in "Trinity" that the father, son & holy spirit are one and the same is a belief that can not be substantiated by the Bible.

Jesus is claiming to be the son of a Father who is greater than him.

John 14:28 28 Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I.

Jesus could have said, for the Father is not greater than I am.

The Father himself said, Jesus is His begotten son.

Hebrews 1:5 For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?

If Jesus will sit on the right hand of the Father, can we consider them one & the same? He could have said it otherwise.

Hebrews 1:13 But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool?

The spirit searched all things that pertains to God.

1 Corinthians 2:10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.

Why do we have to pray to God, not to take away the holy spirit from us. Why not simply pray to the spirit not to go away.

Psalm 51:11 Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me.

Jesus prayed to the father in a place called Gethsemane.

Matthew 26:38-39 Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me. And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.

Many are confused with the verse: John 10:30 "I and My Father are one.”

Will this verse confused them also?: Ephesians 5:31 “For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.”

Open Heart

Listening to the word of God is often times the least of our concern. We mostly gave priorities on things that pertains to this world. When all things went worst, it is the only time that God is called.

Mark 12:30 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.

God is spirit. He that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit.

Isaiah 55:8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.

The reason why I pause and discern every word of God because of a very limited thoughts in a fervent prayer that the Lord will open my heart.

Unless the heart is opened, nobody will ever understand what the Scriptures want to convey.

Acts 16:14 And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, which worshipped God, heard us: whose heart the Lord opened, that she attended unto the things which were spoken of Paul.

Luke 24:45 Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures,

For us human who can not search the heart of a man, know only a good man who bringeth forth good things for the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.

Guarantee Of Inheritance

Believing that there is God is the first step.

Ephesians 1:13 In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise,

He predestined us to be adopted as his sons through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will.

Ephesians 1:14 who is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory.

Second, we must have faith in Him.

Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

But everybody is claiming that they are of God. How do we know those who are not?

Titus 1:16 They profess to know God, but in works they deny Him, being abominable, disobedient, and disqualified for every good work.

2 Peter 2:10 This is especially true of those who follow the corrupt desire of the sinful nature and despise authority. Bold and arrogant, these men are not afraid to slander celestial beings;

Do you know that even angels are afraid of cursing the glorious beings in heaven?

2 Peter 2:11 yet even angels, although they are stronger and more powerful, do not bring slanderous accusations against such beings in the presence of the Lord.

Believing that there is no God is therefore not a guarantee of inheritance.

Under Who's Authority

1 John 4:1 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world.

John 7:17 If anyone wills to do His will, he shall know concerning the doctrine, whether it is from God or whether I speak on My own authority.

John 7:18 He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory; but He who seeks the glory of the One who sent Him is true, and no unrighteousness is in Him.

The big question is, how do we know that it is from God?

First, the message comes directly from the Father Himself.

Hebrews 1:5 For to which of the angels did He ever say: “ You are My Son, Today I have begotten You”? And again: I will be to Him a Father, And He shall be to Me a Son”?

It is a hidden secret between God and Jesus made known only to Angels when it was revealed.

Hebrews 1:13 But to which of the angels has He ever said: “ Sit at My right and, Till I make Your enemies Your footstool”?

Secondly, God secrets are revealed to us through His Spirit.

1 Corinthians 2:10 But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.

Lastly, It was revealed to those who preached the gospel by the Holy Spirit.

1 Peter 1:12 To them it was revealed that, not to themselves, but to us they were ministering the things which now have been reported to you through those who have preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven—things which angels desire to look into.

Luke 12:3 Therefore whatever you have spoken in the dark will be heard in the light, and what you have spoken in the ear in inner rooms will be proclaimed on the housetops.

Isaiah 58:1 “Cry aloud, spare not; Lift up your voice like a trumpet; Tell My people their transgression, And the house of Jacob their sins.

This is a complete opposite of the prayer being done in secret.

Matthew 6:6 But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.

There is no need to shout it loud for our Father knows the things you have need of before you ask Him.

Jeremiah 17:9 “ The heart is deceitful above all things, And desperately wicked; Who can know it?

Jeremiah 17:10 I, the LORD, search the heart, I test the mind, Even to give every man according to his ways, According to the fruit of his doings.

I therefore conclude that when I pray in secret, I am under the authority of Jesus who constantly keep secrets with God.

Remember God in the Days of thy Youth

Ecclesiastes 12:1 Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them;

Reading this passage, I said, yes I am guilty here. I spent 50 years in vain not knowing deep things about GOD.

I spent my youth days going to party, drinking, eating, sex & anything I know that will make myself happy.

Matthew 24:38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,

Matthew 24:39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

Luke 17:28 Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;

Luke 17:29 But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.

Luke 17:30 Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.

Before, what I know is, when I needed something, I will pray to Him & luckily most of my wishes are granted. He is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil anyway.

Luke 6:35 But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil.

It's like getting what I don't deserve & it is shameful.

It's like getting my allowance without helping my Mom in her household chores when I am still studying.

Most of the time I even complain, comparing myself to the other siblings accusing my parents of being unfair. Like the labourers in the vineyard.

Matthew 20:15 Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own? Is thine eye evil, because I am good?

Yes, my parents are good, it's my eyes that is evil. How can you love GOD who is not seen when you can not love your parents, brothers, sisters including your enemies who is seen.

2 Corinthians 4:18 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.

Deuteronomy 11:13 And it shall come to pass, if ye shall hearken diligently unto my commandments which I command you this day, to love the LORD your God, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul,

Ecclesiastes 12:13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.

God Secrets Are Not Known To Angels

I really don't know what an angel looks like for angels are spirits.

Do you know that Angels of God has the power to know all things that pertains to earth?

2 Samuel 14:20 To fetch about this form of speech hath thy servant Joab done this thing: and my lord is wise, according to the wisdom of an angel of God, to know all things that are in the earth.

But, do you know also that God secrets are revealed unto us but not to Angels?

In fact God do not put trust in his angels.

Job 4:18 Behold, he put no trust in his servants; and his angels he charged with folly:

God reveal his secrets & mysteries unto prophets & ministries of Christ who made manifest to his saints.

Amos 3:7 Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.

1 Corinthians 4:1 Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God.

Colossians 1:26 Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints:

He revealed the secrets unto us by his Spirit with the holy ghost sent down from heaven.

1 Corinthians 2:10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.

This is also the reason why, when the ministers of Christ preached, the angels are listening.

1 Peter 1:12 Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto us they did minister the things, which are now reported unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into.

Take a look at the word "the angels desire to look into".

If it is the desire of the angels to look into the minister preaching the gospel, to know more of the secrets of GOD, I wonder where my guardian angel is when I am not attending the assembly.

Hebrews 10:25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.

I am talking of Ministers revealing the secrets of God as they preached. Not repeating the old secrets once preached but new stunning secrets that will create a desire in me to know more & wait for the next assembly to come.

For when I am not attending the assembly? I was temporarily abandoned by my guardian angel.
