A relationship with God is a pure, humble and sincere desire to know and love Him – message to all people

All the Glory and Praise to our God and our Lord Jesus Christ, for His Spirit has guided me into profound and yet simple Wisdom about Him and His Love for us.
—————————————————————————————————————-

This is written for everyone, I hope this simple and non-blibical (I mean containing no Bible verses) message will truly encourage more people to seek and know God, not through logic or reasoning, nor true Bible knowledge and Church going, but through a sincere, humble and pure desire to know and love Him who created us and loved us dearly.

To the Creator of the universe, the LORD eternal, each and every one of us is like His son and daughter, whom He Loves from His Heart. He gave us the free will to choose between right and wrong, between good and evil, and the authority to rule over all the living things on this planet. We are created in His VERY IMAGE, yes, we are His Holy Image. He created us to be holy like He is Holy, but unfortunately, we broke His Heart and chose to become unholy and sinful. This all started when Adam and Eve took the forbidden fruit from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil.

A man reaps what he sows, because of this wrong choice we made, we sowed bad fruits and we are to bear the consequences of our sin – which is disobedience to God. From the very moment Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit, we are destined to die in our disobedience. But God Loved us so much, that He sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to die on the Cross for our disobedience. But because Jesus Christ is the Son of God, being in the very nature God Himself, He was risen to life on the third day. (God is ONE manifested in God the Father, God the Son Named Jesus Christ and God the Holy Spirit) Nevertheless, Jesus Christ, in His total obedience to His Father (God the Father), suffered great humiliation, abuse, pain and sorrow and shed His Blood for the whole world. He came to REMOVE our sins so that we can be holy and pure like God is and have Eternal Life, but He also came as an EXAMPLE of how God wants us to live: that is in TOTAL OBEDIENCE TO GOD. Why did Jesus obey His Father to the point of death? BECAUSE JESUS LOVES HIS FATHER WITH HIS WHOLE HEART. If we truly love God with all our hearts, we will obey Him willingly. If we obey God, we will not be sinful and thus we will not die but have Eternal Life, the free Gift of God.

So how do we love and obey God? It must first start with a RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD. It’s the same with every relationship here on earth, we must know the person before we will love and trust him/her. So if we want to have a relationship with God, we must first have the desire to know Him. Then we can approach Him and talk to Him IN PRAYERS. But remember, if we have sins in our life (or if we were not obeying Him), He will not hear us because He cannot tolerate sin. Before we can ask Him for anything, we must confess that we disobeyed Him and followed after our own desires and wishes. We must REPENT from our heart and really make the decision to STOP OUR DISOBEDIENCE, and He will forgive us and remove our sins with the Blood of Jesus. Acknowledging that we are wrong is not always easy, but what is wrong with being humble? Sometimes we make mistakes without even knowing, if we are humble, we will know where we have gone wrong and someone will point it out to us. But if we continue to be arrogant, how will we ever learn from our mistakes? Thus, take this attitude of HUMBLENESS and REPENT before God, even if you don’t think you have done any sins. God will show you where you have gone wrong, and He will help you to understand why sinning is so dangerous.

Actually, the Truth is always the simplest and most pure. But sometimes our logic and reasoning blind us from what is simple and pure, because we are so indulgent in our own intelligence and ability that we forget that Truth is not that hard to find. This is why pride is so dangerous, and it is because of pride that humanity turned away from God. Many atheists do not believe in God because they relied on their logic and reasoning. They think that because God cannot be seen or cannot be scientifically proven, then He naturally doesn’t exist. But look at the world around us. There are MANY things that our eyes do not see and that science cannot prove, but yet they exist. Do we see gravity? Do we see the wind? No, but they do exist. Can we prove with science why there is wind and gravity? No, but does that mean they don’t exist? They do! If the athiests truly seek God with their hearts and not with their minds and reasoning, would they not find Him? They WILL find Him. TRUTH CAN ONLY BE FOUND WITH A PURE AND SINCERE HEART, WITH A HUMBLE ATTITUDE. GOD IS THIS TRUTH.

Now about all those who do not believe in Jesus Christ as God and follow other gods, why do they do so? Because they think God is found through books, religions and people. They worship idols made by their own hands, and many think that God cannot talk and doesn’t communicate with humans. Are they not using their minds to seek God? In their MINDS, they think God is like this. In their MINDS, they limit God into books and qurans and fuojings (Buddhist bible). In their MINDS, they put God into a religious frame and conduct all kinds of meaningless religious activities. But did they communicate with God with their hearts? No, they didn’t. They rely on people and books to tell them who God is and how He is like, but they never sought to know Him for themselves. How can you know God if you don’t talk to Him yourself? Do you start a relationship with person A through person B/through a book/through religious beliefs and practices? Or do you go to person A himself to start a relationship with him? If you don’t go to God yourself, how can you start a relationship with Him? That is why most RELIGIOUS people are still deceived, because they never sought the Truth with their HEARTS, neither did they go to the Truth on their own.

Even many Christ believers fall into this deception. They think God is limited in the Holy Bible and in the Church. They think they can know God and have a relationship with Him through people and Church leaders. But they are wrong. A relationship with God is not going to Church, fellowship with Church members, or reading the Bible. It is going to God Himself and talking to Him in prayers. It is pouring your heart out to Him and spending time with Him alone. Any relationship is one-to-one, you can NEVER have a relationship with someone if you don’t go to him/her yourself. It is the same with God. A TRUE RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD IS A PURE, HUMBLE AND SINCERE DESIRE TO KNOW HIM FOR YOURSELF AND TO LOVE HIM WITH ALL YOUR HEART.

Our Faith will be tested to the limit

Filed under: Uncategorized — by terene2001 @ 12:33 下午

All the Praise and Glory to the King and Lord of the universe, our Lord Jesus Christ. By His Grace we are bestowed the Salvation of God which we never deserved. By His Grace we are able to endure all the trials and tribulations in our lives without losing Hope. His Promises are sure and His Love is everlasting.

————————————————————————————————–

My dear friends on Facebook, we all must know one thing when we believe in the Lord Jesus, that is: our Faith will be tested to the limit. On every corner and edge, there will be obstacles along the way as we set our hearts on following the Lord. As we deny ourselves, take up our crosses and follow the Lord, we will slowly realise that the road ahead is full of trials and tribulations, and no one will be exempted from these hardships.

All the Saints of old from the time of Abraham to the Apostles of Jesus Christ, none have walked in an easy path of Faith. All of them suffered and toiled because they were righteous men, and they obeyed God no matter how hard it was. A very good example is Saint Job, who was tested to the limit when God gave satan permission to torment him. Satan destroyed his livestock and children and brought him great physical suffering, but yet he remained Faithful and did not turn away from God. Saint Lot, another righteous man, lived among sinful people and yet uphold his integrity and did not fornicate with the world.

But the greatest and most exemplary example is no other than our Lord Jesus Christ Himself. He took on our infirmities and faced opposition from His own. He was tempted to the limit by the devil, ridiculed, rejected, scorned and finally crucified by sinful men. Even His own disciple, Judas Iscariot, betrayed Him. Though He was harshly treated, He did not say a word to defend Himself. His Soul was in distress and troubled, but He remained obedient to His Father and willingly shed His Blood for all the sinners in the world.

In the same way, we will be tested and tried. When we make our decision to follow the Lord with all our hearts, the devil will come against us and will not stop attacking us. He will try all means and ways to tempt us and lead us away from the Lord, even if it means using your loved ones to hurt you. I myself have been tried and tested to the limit, the devil used my parents to attack my Faith many times, blaspheming God and His Holy Spirit and cursing me right in my face. I was persecuted to the point of almost leaving my family. If the Lord was not there with me to sustain me, I would have been crushed and destroyed. All the Praise and Glory to the King and Lord of my life, Jesus Christ.

This very moment, my Faith is being tested and the devil is coming against me, filling my mind with temptations, distractions, confusion, despair and frustration. But I have not been tried to the point of shedding blood, and my Hope in the Lord is not extinguished and never will. This very moment when I’m writing this to you guys, I am waiting for the Lord to deliver me and strengthen me, and I know He will.

But I want to encourage you, my friends, that we must not lose Hope or give up. The Lord never promised an easy road, but He did promise to never leave nor forsake us. If He is for us, who can be against us? Even when our Faith is tested, He is right there for us and will deliver us if we put our Trust in Him. Do not be afraid of what the devil does, because he cannot do what the Lord does not allow him to do. Remember that Saint Paul wrote:

No temptation has overtaken you but such as is common to man; and God is Faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will provide the way of escape also, so that you will be able to endure it. (1 Corinthians 10:13)

Endure to the end, my friends, for the final prize of our endurance is no other than Eternal Life itself.

It is about Jesus and His Kingdom, not about the Bible and the Churches

Filed under: Uncategorized — by terene2001 @ 12:32 下午

Praise and Honor to the Lord God Almighty and Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. It is by His Grace that we are saved and bought from the world with the Blood of the Lamb, in which we are cleansed from our past iniquities and justified before God. We no longer live as we did when we were sinners, but we live now as a new creation, in the Spirit of Christ who is Righteous.

——————————————————————————————————-

These are the Words of Jesus who is True:

“All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. GO THEREFORE AND MAKE DISCIPLES OF ALL THE NATIONS, BAPTIZING THEM IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER AND THE SON AND THE HOLY SPIRIT, TEACHING THEM TO OBSERVE ALL THAT I HAVE COMMANDED YOU; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” (Matthew 28:18-20)

Many Christ believers today think that reading the Bible and going to Churches will get them to the Kingdom of Heaven, but they are very mistaken. Jesus clearly commanded His disciples to “Make DISCIPLES of all the nations” and to teach His followers “to observe ALL that I have commanded you”. He did not ask us to “Go to Church and read a Bible”. We are called to be disciples of Christ, not to be a Bible scholar or a Church member.

When Jesus walked the earth and taught in the synagogues, He did not have a Bible in His Hands. Five of His chosen Apostles : Matthew, Simon Peter and his brother Andrew, James and John – None of them were Church members nor did they own Bibles, they were either fishermen or tax collectors who had no knowledge of God. Though there were no Bibles in their hands and they did not go to Churches, Jesus Himself taught them and gave them Understanding.

Through the teachings of Jesus Christ, we can see that He taught many new Commands and focused much of His teachings on the Kingdom of God. He did not mention much of the Scriptures, neither did He teach about Church membership or Church fellowship.

Jesus clearly said:

“If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross and follow Me.” (Matthew 16:24)

He did NOT say “If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must go to a Church and read a Bible.” He asked us to deny ourselves, take up our crosses and follow HIM. Not follow our Pastors, nor follow our Priests, nor follow our Churches, nor follow our Bibles. JESUS CHRIST IS THE LIVING WORD OF GOD whom we must follow and know, not anyone/anything else. That is why Jesus said:

“Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no Life in yourselves.” (John 6:53)

JESUS IS THE WORD OF GOD WHO GIVES US ETERNAL LIFE, not the Bible nor the Churches.

The Pharisees and the teachers of the Law, however, rejected Him though they knew the Scriptures very well. Why? Because they never got to know the Living God. Yes, they knew the Bible and they taught in the synagogues and Churches, but did that bring Salvation to them? No, on the contrary, they were so full of themselves and their “Scripture knowledge” that they out-rightly rejected the Living Word of God, Jesus Christ! To them and all the Jews who rejected Him, Jesus said:

“You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; it is these that TESTIFY ABOUT ME; and YOU ARE UNWILLING TO COME TO ME SO THAT YOU MAY HAVE LIFE.” (John 5:39-40)

Sadly, this is the case for modern Churches as well. Many Churches have fallen into the same error that the Pharisees and the teachers of the Law and all the Jews who rejected Christ have fallen into. The Churches today conduct Bible studies and Church fellowship and did all the things that those who rejected Christ did, but they did NOT go to Christ Himself for Eternal Life.

Many Church-goers today are spiritually dead because they know the Bible, but they do not know Jesus, who is beyond the Bible. Their knowledge of Jesus is limited to a book called the Bible, because they never sought to know Jesus from Him DIRECTLY. They think it is about going to the Church and reading a Bible, but they are wrong. It is about Jesus and His Kingdom, not the Bible and the Churches.

Friendship with the world is enmity with God

Filed under: Uncategorized — by terene2001 @ 12:31 下午

All the Glory and Praise to our Father and our Lord Jesus Christ, for He has granted us undeserving Salvation through Faith in His Son, that we are justified by His Righteousness and our obedience to Christ, who now lives in us by His Spirit.

—————————————————————————————————————–

Lord Jesus Himself said: “For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?” (Matthew 16:26)

Most people, even most Christ believers, want acceptance in this world. They want to be accepted by their friends, their families, their colleagues, their bosses, their Pastors, their Priests, their fellow Church members, their clubs, their associations, their everything. Rejection, to them, is like a deadly pill which they want to avoid at all costs, even if it means forsaking their own souls.

But do these people know that if they are to be accepted by God, they will be rejected by the world? All through history, those who are truly righteous and upright were never accepted in their society. The servants of God were always persecuted, mistreated, killed, tortured and despised. They went through lots of sufferings and were always the victims of sinful men. Even King David, anointed by God, was constantly facing dangers in his lifetime. Through his Psalms, we can know that many times, he was living in despair and desperation, his soul was in utter torment and he lived in fear because he was surrounded by his enemies. Even as a King, David did not escape the sufferings of a righteous man, because he lived uprightly in God’s sight. And those who live uprightly will always have troubles and persecutions in this world. For the Lord Jesus said:

“IN THE WORLD YOU WILL HAVE TRIBULATION” (John 16:33)

This world is not of God, and anyone who is born of God is not of the world. If we claim to be God’s children, and yet we seek acceptance from the world, we are liars. God’s true children were never accepted in this world. Even Jesus, the Son of God, was utterly rejected and crucified by the world, how can we expect acceptance if we are to be God’s children? For Jesus Himself said:

“Blessed are you who hunger now, for you shall be satisfied. Blessed are you who weep now, for you shall laugh. Blessed are you when men hate you, and ostracize you, and insult you, and scorn your name as evil, for the sake of the Son of Man. Be glad in that day and leap for joy, for behold, your reward is great in Heaven. For in the same way their fathers used to treat the prophets. But woe to you who are rich, for you are receiving your comfort in full. Woe to you who are well-fed now, for you shall be hungry. Woe to you who laugh now, for you shall mourn and weep. Woe to you when all men speak well of you, for their fathers used to treat the false prophets in the same way.” (Luke 6:21-26)

Friendship with the world is enmity with God. We cannot seek approval from God and men at the same time. Either we will be approved by God and rejected by men, or we will be approved by men and rejected by God. What will YOU choose?

Following Jesus is never meant to be easy

Filed under: Uncategorized — by terene2001 @ 11:54 上午

All the Glory and Praise to our Father and our Lord Jesus Christ for His abounding Love, Grace and Mercy and His Patience towards His people. It is by His Grace that we are able to endure all that is to come and stand before Him on the final day, holy and blameless.

——————————————————————————————————

Many Christ believers have this idea that following Jesus is merely a routine of going to a Church once a week, reading a Bible whenever they have time and attending some Church activities of their choice. But that is not how we ought to follow Him.

Jesus said: “If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross and follow Me.” (Mark 8:34)

Few people understand what this means and few people take the effort to do this. Jesus called us to be His disciples, and we must deny ourselves and take up our crosses to follow Him. Nobody likes to deny himself/herself and live for Christ, because we are all inherently selfish and want to live lives our way. But this will NEVER get us into the Kingdom of Heaven.

Jesus said: “No one can serve two masters” (Matthew 6:24)

When we start to indulge in our own pleasures (like watching TVs, going clubbing with friends, shopping and watching movies, listening to music that we like), we are already serving ourselves rather than serving the King. It is not possible for us to serve ourselves and serve God at the same time, thus we must make a choice. This is the point where the majority will choose the broad and easy path, the path that leads to destruction, and very few will choose to follow Christ on the narrow and difficult path.

The devil has been so successful at deceiving most Christ believers that they automatically chose the broad and easy path right after they believed in Christ. They thought the journey ended at the point of believing Christ when it has only begun. Very few got started on the walk on the narrow and difficult path, and fewer would make it to the end. Jesus’ parable of the sower clearly illustrates the state of most Christ believers and those who don’t believe in Him:

“The sower sows the Word. These are the ones who are beside the road where the Word is sown; and when they hear, immediately Satan comes and takes away the Word which has been sown in them. In a similar way these are the ones on whom seed was sown on the rocky places, who, when they hear the Word, immediately receive it with joy; and they have no firm root in themselves, but are only temporary; then, when affliction or persecution arises because of the Word, immediately they fall away. And others are the ones on whom seed was sown among the thorns; these are the ones who have heard the Word, but the worries of the world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the desires for other things enter in and choke the Word, and it becomes unfruitful. And those are the ones on whom seed was sown on the good soil; and they hear the Word and accept it and bear fruit, thirty, sixty, and a hundredfold.” (Mark 4:14-20)

Most Christ believers are like the ones on whom the seed was sown on rocky places and among the thorns. Some will start on the narrow and difficult path, but give up when trouble or persecutions come their way. Others, being led astray by the world and its pleasures, will be unfruitful. Very few are those on whom the seed was sown on good soil. These are the few people who deny themselves, take up their crosses DAILY and follow Jesus. They serve Him day and night, every moment of their lives. Because of their perseverance and dedication to Christ, they will bear much good fruit for the Kingdom of Heaven.

Then, on the day of the Lord’s coming, He will separate the sheep from the goats. To the sheep on His right, He will say:

“‘Come, you who are blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. For I was hungry, and you gave Me something to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave Me something to drink; I was a stranger, and you invited Me in; naked, and you clothed Me; I was sick, and you visited Me; I was in prison, and you came to Me.’ Then the righteous will answer Him, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry, and feed You, or thirsty, and give You something to drink? And when did we see You a stranger, and invite You in, or naked, and clothe You? When did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?’ The King will answer and say to them, ‘Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did it to one of these brothers of Mine, even the least of them, you did it to Me.’” (Matthew 25:34-40)

These are the people who bore the fruits of Righteousness for the Kingdom of Heaven and did all that the Lord Jesus commanded them to do. But to the goats on His right, He will say:

“‘Depart from Me, accursed ones, into the eternal fire which has been prepared for the devil and his angels; for I was hungry, and you gave Me nothing to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave Me nothing to drink; I was a stranger, and you did not invite Me in; naked, and you did not clothe Me; sick, and in prison, and you did not visit Me.’ Then they themselves also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not take care of You?’ Then He will answer them, ‘Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.’ These will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”(Matthew 25:41-46)

These are the ones who did not bear fruits of Righteousness for the Kingdom of Heaven and did not obey the commands of Jesus Christ. For the Lord Jesus Himself said:

“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the Will of My Father who is in heaven will enter. Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I NEVER KNEW YOU; DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS.’” (Matthew 7:21-23)

Following Jesus is never meant to be easy. Just like how the world rejected and persecuted Jesus and His disciples, we will also be rejected and persecuted if we follow the Lord. But how many are able to endure such trials? Very few. Many cannot tolerate rejection from their friends and families, they would rather compromise the Truth and ruin their eternity than to be rejected in this world. Sadly, none of these people will be able to go to Heaven.

The world hated God, if we belong to God, we will be hated too. Thus, unless we are able to give up everything in this world, including our very lives, we will never be able to follow Jesus. Unless we follow Jesus with all our hearts and souls and minds, we will never enter the Kingdom of Heaven.

Faith without Works is useless

Filed under: Uncategorized — by terene2001 @ 11:53 上午

All the Glory and Honor be to our Father and our Lord Jesus Christ for the Abounding Love, Mercy and Grace He has shown me. Though I have never gone to any Church, the Lord has taught me His Wisdom and gave me Understanding beyond what I could imagine. Indeed, the Lord alone is our Teacher and by His Holy Spirit, we will be led into ALL TRUTH, just like He promised.

Today, I would like to share with you guys what the Lord has taught me about Faith and Works. Do you guys remember that in the Scriptures it is written:

“Know that a man is not justified by observing the Law, but by Faith in Jesus Christ. So we, too, have put our Faith in Christ Jesus that we may be justified by Faith in Christ and not by observing the Law, because by observing the Law no one will be justified.” (Galatians 2:16)

Thus, it is said that we are justified by our Faith rather than what we do in observing the Law. Yet, it is also written:

“You see that a person is justified by what he does and not by Faith alone.” (James 2:24)

Many Churches and professing Christ believers are confused by these two verses, because they seem conflicting on first sight. Because of this, many Christ believers are taught that Faith in Jesus Christ alone is enough, and you don’t have to do ANYTHING about your sinful life because you are not justified by works anymore. But they are utterly deceived. In the Book of James, it clearly says:

“WHAT USE IS IT, my brethren, IF SOMEONE SAYS HE HAS FAITH BUT HE HAS NO WORKS? Can that faith save him? If a brother or sister is without clothing and in need of daily food, and one of you says to them, ‘Go in peace, be warmed and be filled,’ and yet you do not give them what is necessary for their body, what use is that? Even so faith, if it has no works, is dead, being by itself.

But someone may well say, ‘You have faith and I have works; show me your faith without the works, and I will show you my faith by my works.’ You believe that God is one. You do well; the demons also believe, and shudder. But are you willing to recognize, you foolish fellow, that FAITH WITHOUT WORKS IS USELESS?” (James 2:14-20)

When it is written “A man is not justified by observing the Law”, it means that what we do in our own strength will not justify us. We can never save ourselves from death and punishment of sins, so how can OUR works justify us before God? When those Pharisees and teachers of the Law try to bring Salvation upon themselves by what THEY DO in observing the Law, aren’t they arrogantly trying to justify themselves? It is God who justifies, and not us. Thus in their own self-righteousness and arrogance, the Pharisees and the teachers of the Law have turned away from True Salvation that could only be found in our Lord Jesus Christ. They rejected Salvation without knowing, and they refused to come out of their own self righteousness. Thus, Jesus said:

“Woe to you, teachers of the Law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside they are full of greed and self-indulgence.” (Matthew 23:25)

But yet, God teaches us that Faith without Works is not True Faith. Why is that so? Because the fruit of True Faith is Righteous Works. When we are led by True Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, God Works in us with His Holy Spirit, and thus what we do becomes Righteous deeds. But it is not our righteousness, it is God’s Righteousness. Remember it is written:

“There is no one righteous, not even one” (Romans 3:10)

Thus we are justified as Righteous by our Faith, and by our Faith, the Good Work that God does through us. It is God who justifies us, and it is God doing all the Righteous deeds in those who have Faith. When we have TRUE FAITH, we will do what God commands us to do, and what we do IN OBEDIENCE TO GOD are the works that will justify us on the last day. Thus, Faith without works is useless.

Jesus is coming soon – Are YOU ready?

Filed under: Uncategorized — by terene2001 @ 11:53 上午

All the Glory and Thanks and Praise to our Father and our Lord Jesus Christ for His Abounding Mercy, Grace and Love. The Faithful Lord gave me these revelations a few months ago and I have an urge to share this message that Jesus is coming very soon, and very few are ready for His Coming.

At that time, I was in doubt about my Salvation because I have sinned willfully and I knew I grieved His Holy Spirit. I was repenting in tears, pleading for His Mercy because the Peace in me was gone. I felt that my sin was so great that the Lord may no longer forgive me my sins, I was in utter desperation and despair. One night, I poured out my heart to Him and cried out to Him asking “Lord Jesus, are You still with me?” repeatedly. It was then that I closed me eyes, and I saw a white human figure standing before me. I wasn’t entirely sure whether it was Him at that time, but I somehow knew it was Him. I didn’t see His Face, but I saw Him in complete and pure whiteness. A few days later after that revelation, Lord Jesus spoke to me through this message (the following is not the whole message, I am only quoting what I know is the Lord speaking directly to me addressing my needs. To see the whole message, please go to my youtube channel here: http://www.youtube.com/user/ltangelic):

“If you think perhaps you will not get to Heaven, that thought is of the devil. I will not destroy My own children. I will protect and save everyone, not one of Mine will perish. I will overcome.

The devil is coming to Earth in a few years, and there will be great tribulation. Do not worry, I will protect and care for you. People everywhere will gather together and fight in one place, after which I will come to punish the Earth. You must not fear, for those who believe in Me will be caught up to blow trumpets and to play harps. I will destroy two of every three. When I come, everything must obey My voice. Houses will tumble down, mountains will fall, trees will be destroyed. There will be utter destruction where I will not leave one blade of grass. All sorcerers and spiritist mediums shall be cast into Hell. Only those who believe the Gospel will be saved.”

I knew I was led to this message on the Internet by the Lord Himself, because I didn’t even know that this message existed and I wasn’t searching for this message at all. It just came to me when I was looking at videos on Youtube. The Lord not only addressed my doubts, He gave me revelations of what is going to happen at His Coming. He said: “People everywhere will gather together and fight in one place, after which I will come to punish the Earth.” and “I will destroy two of every three.” At first, I did not understand why He said that “I will destroy two of every three.”, but He lead me to this verse in the Scriptures:

“It will come about in all the land,”
Declares the LORD,
“That TWO PARTS in it WILL BE CUT OFF AND PERISH;
But the third will be left in it.
“And I will bring the THIRD PART through the fire,
Refine them as silver is refined,
And test them as gold is tested
They will call on My name,
And I will answer them;
I will say, ‘They are My people,’
And they will say, ‘The LORD is my God.'” (Zechariah 13:8-9 NAS)

Truly, the Lord has guided me and confirmed with me that He has spoken to me. Even about His imminent coming, He confirmed with me through His servants whom He lead me to on Youtube. They had received revelations from the Lord about His Coming and have warned the people around them that Jesus is Coming and we must get ready.

My dear friends, we are living in the last days when deception and evil will increase and many will fall from the Grace of Jesus Christ. For even Jude and Peter wrote:

“But you, beloved, ought to remember the words that were spoken beforehand by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ, that they were saying to you, “In the last time THERE WILL BE MOCKERS, FOLLOWING AFTER THEIR OWN UNGODLY LUSTS.” THESE ARE THE ONES WHO CAUSE DIVISIONS, worldly-minded, devoid of the Spirit.” (Jude 1:17-19)

“Know this first of all, that IN THE LAST DAYS MOCKERS WILL COME WITH THEIR MOCKING, following after their own lusts, and SAYING, “WHERE IS THE PROMISE OF HIS COMING? For ever since the fathers fell asleep, all continues just as it was from the beginning of creation.” For when they maintain this, it escapes their notice that by the word of God the heavens existed long ago and the earth was formed out of water and by water, through which the world at that time was destroyed, being flooded with water. But BY HIS WORD THE PRESENT HEAVENS AND EARTH ARE BEING RESERVED FOR FIRE, KEPT FOR THE DAY OF JUDGMENT AND DESTRUCTION OF UNGODLY MEN. But do not let this one fact escape your notice, beloved, that with the Lord one day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years like one day. THE LORD IS NOT SLOW ABOUT HIS PROMISE, as some count slowness, BUT IS PATIENT TOWARD YOU, NOT WISHING FOR ANY TO PERISH BUT FOR ALL TO COME TO REPENTANCE. BUT THE DAY OF THE LORD WILL COME LIKE A THIEF, in which the heavens will pass away with a roar and the elements will be destroyed with intense heat, and the earth and its works will be burned up. Since all these things are to be destroyed in this way, what sort of people ought you to be in HOLY CONDUCT AND GODLINESS, looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be destroyed by burning, and the elements will melt with intense heat! But according to His promise WE ARE LOOKING FOR NEW HEAVENS AND A NEW EARTH, IN WHICH RIGHTEOUSNESS DWELLS.” (2 Peter 3:3-9)

No one knows the day or hour when the Lord will come, but He is already sending out warnings to His people to be ready for His Coming. Just like Peter wrote in his letter, we ought to be people with HOLY CONDUCT and GODLINESS, born of God who is Holy and not of the world. Come out of the world and separate yourselves from ungodly people my friends, live EVERY moment of your life for Christ and do not indulge in worldly pleasures any longer. This is now the time for repentance, repent and be saved from the impending Judgment and Wrath of the Lord Almighty!

Very few will enter the Kingdom of Heaven

All the Glory and Praise to the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ for guiding me into all Truth by the Holy Spirit who dwells in me. The Lord has given me many revelations through His Holy Spirit and His people and I really want to share with anyone who will read it and reflect on their Salvation in Jesus Christ.

1. VERY FEW, EVEN VERY FEW WHO BELIEVE IN HIM, WILL BE WORTHY TO ENTER THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN

Jesus said: “Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it. For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it.” (Matthew 7:13-14)

The Lord was serious when He said that the gate to Life is narrow and few will find it. Even many who believe in Him will not be able to enter the Kingdom of Heaven, because few really follow and know Him.

Jesus clearly said: “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the Kingdom of Heaven, but he who does the Will of My Father who is in Heaven will enter.” (Matthew 7:21)

How many professing Christ believers do the Will of the Father? Very few. They may think that going to a Church once a week, reading a Bible once in a while and attending Church activities whenever they feel like is considered doing the Will of the Father. No. When Jesus was on earth, He did not have a Bible, neither did He go to a Church once in a week or attend Church activities whenever He liked. EVERYTHING He did was in total obedience to the Father, EVERY WORD He spoke, EVERY MIRACLE He did, EVERYWHERE He went, it was in obedience to the Father. He did not do the Father’s Will whenever He liked, He did it throughout His ENTIRE life on earth. This is the kind of obedience we should have when we believe and follow Christ, not to serve Him whenever we want, but to serve Him EVERY MOMENT OF OUR LIVES. How many Christ believers do that? Very few. Not even many Pastors and Priests do that. Just like the Lord said:

“THIS PEOPLE HONORS ME WITH THEIR LIPS,
BUT THEIR HEART IS FAR AWAY FROM ME.
BUT IN VAIN DO THEY WORSHIP ME,
TEACHING AS DOCTRINES THE PRECEPTS OF MEN.” (Matthew 15:8-9)

This is the dire state of people who believe in Christ. Many profess that they are Christians and Catholics, they belong to this or that Church, but how many belong to Jesus and love Him with all their hearts? I don’t know. Indeed, very few will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. When Jesus return, He will say to many on that day: “I NEVER KNEW YOU.”

2. THE BIBLE IS NOT THE WORD OF GOD – JESUS CHRIST IS THE WORD

Many Christ believers still have this misconception that the Bible is the Word of God, and many Churches teach this as a doctrine. Instead of focusing on the Living God, many have now turned to Bible studies and all kinds of Bible knowledge courses which they think will help them know the Word of God. Instead of worshiping Jesus Christ, the True God and Savior, they have turned to Bible worship. They fail to realize that they have limited God in a book and are living in a lie. God’s Word can never be limited in a book, and certainly can’t be limited in a Bible. The Bible is merely a testimony of those who received revelations from God, and it testifies about JESUS CHRIST, THE LIVING WORD OF GOD. The Book of John clearly writes:

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being. In Him was life, and the life was the Light of men. The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.” (John 1:1-4)

It is very evident that the Word here is not referring to the Bible or any Scriptures, but to Jesus Christ. The WORD of GOD gives LIFE, does the Bible give life? No, only Jesus Christ gives Life, because IN Him there is LIFE. How then can people say the Bible is the Word of God? It is clearly wrong. Jesus Christ clearly said:

“You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; it is these that TESTIFY about Me; and YOU ARE UNWILLING TO COME TO ME SO THAT YOU MAY HAVE LIFE.” (John 5:39-40)

The Bible is only a testimony, and it testifies about Jesus Christ, THE ONE AND ONLY LIVING WORD OF GOD.

3. “ETERNAL SALVATION” AND “WE ARE SINNERS” ARE FALSE TEACHINGS

Many modern Churches teach their members that once they believe in Christ and receive some baptism, they are forever saved from their sins, past, present and future. They teach their members that we are sinners for life and can never stop sinning because of our fallen nature. They even quote Bible verses to justify sins. As much as these sound pleasing to the ears, these are utterly LIES.

Because of how great this deception is in the modern Churches, many professing Christ believers continue to indulge in sinful lives. Now and then you will hear humiliating news from this Pastor and that Priest who committed sins and brought embarrassment to their Churches. These are the results that the deception had sowed in the modern Church organizations. The deception and corruption in these Churches are in fact the works of the devil.

God is Holy, and He cannot tolerate sin. He loves sinners, that is why He sent Jesus Christ to die on the Cross, but He never gave any pardon for sins. It is because God wants to remove the sins of the world that Jesus had to suffer so much on the Cross. The Blood that Jesus shed is an ATONEMENT for our sins, not a license to sin. Believing in Jesus is not a liberty to continue sinning, because “the wages of sin is DEATH”. Jesus Himself said:

“If you love Me, you will keep My commandments.” (John 14:15)

If you are still living in sin, you are not showing your love for Christ because you are NOT keeping His Commandments! What did Jesus command us? Some of His commands are: To LOVE the LORD your GOD with ALL your heart and ALL your soul and ALL your mind. To LOVE your neighbors as yourself and to LOVE your enemies. ALL the Words that Jesus said are His commands for His followers, and we ought to obey them. He clearly said:

“Therefore you are to be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect. (Matthew 5:48)

Jesus calls us to be PERFECT like our Heavenly Father, so how can we live a life of sin? How can we go back to our sinful and lustful lives after we have confessed and repented of our sins? Even Saint Peter wrote:

“For if, after they have escaped the defilements of the world by the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and are overcome, the last state has become worse for them than the first. For it would be better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than having known it, to turn away from the holy commandment handed on to them. It has happened to them according to the true proverb, “A DOG RETURNS TO ITS OWN VOMIT,” and, “A sow, after washing, returns to wallowing in the mire.” (2 Peter 2:20-22)

If you go back to your old sinful life and again indulge in the lusts and pleasures of the world after you’ve came to Jesus Christ, are you not like what the proverb said: A DOG RETURNS TO ITS OWN VOMIT? Saint Paul also wrote:

“For in the case of those who have once been enlightened and have tasted of the heavenly gift and have been made partakers of the Holy Spirit, and have tasted the good Word of God and the powers of the age to come, and then have fallen away, it is IMPOSSIBLE TO RENEW THEM AGAIN TO REPENTANCE, since they again crucify to themselves the Son of God and put Him to open shame.” (Hebrews 6:4-6)

ONE sin un-repented can take you to Hell. If you have again entangled yourself in sins after you have been set free by the Blood of Christ and will no longer repent of your sins, there will be NO MORE SALVATION for you, only the impending Judgment and Wrath of God.

“For if we go on sinning willfully after receiving the Knowledge of the Truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, but a terrifying expectation of Judgment and THE FURY OF A FIRE WHICH WILL CONSUME THE ADVERSARIES.” (Hebrews 10:26-27)

4. HAVING A CLOSE RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS CHRIST IS THE ONLY GUARANTEE OF SALVATION

So what will guarantee your Salvation? Only one thing: By having a close relationship with Jesus Christ and obeying His commands. Jesus Christ said:

“My sheep hear My Voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.” (John 10:27)

If you do not have a relationship with Him, how do you hear His Voice, how does He know you and how do you follow Him? If you are not one of His sheep, He will say to you: I NEVER KNEW YOU.

How are you to have a relationship with Jesus and follow Him? He said:

“If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must DENY HIMSELF, and TAKE UP HIS CROSS and FOLLOW ME.” (Matthew 16:24)

What does it mean to deny yourself? It means to LIVE FOR CHRIST, not for yourself. You must deny your own passions, desires, wants, ambitions, and everything about yourself. You must set your mind on the MIND OF CHRIST, and do HIS DESIRES. That is what it means to YIELD TO THE HOLY SPIRIT. When you invite Jesus into your heart to become the King and Lord of your life, you will yield to HIS SPIRIT and do HIS DESIRES, not your own.

What does it mean to take up your cross? It means to crucify yourself on the cross and to LIVE FOR CHRIST. I do NOT mean taking a real cross and literally crucifying yourself. What I mean here is: You must crucify all the desires of your flesh on your cross. You must no longer let the desires of your flesh drive you in your daily life, but must yield completely to the desires of the Holy Spirit who Christ has put in you.

When you have done all this, you have now put away yourself and are ready to FOLLOW CHRIST. Then you will learn to obey Jesus Christ and follow Him wherever He goes. He is your Shepherd and you are His sheep. He will speak to you, and you will listen and obey. You will hear His Voice more and more clearly, and He will reveal Himself more and more to you. Your relationship with Christ is build upon this DAILY communion and fellowship with Him, the more you fellowship with Him, the closer you are to Him. And this is His promise to His sheep:

“My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me; and I GIVE ETERNAL LIFE TO THEM, and THEY WILL NEVER PERISH; and no one will snatch them out of My hand.” (John 10:27-28)

WAKE UP MY FRIENDS, COME OUT OF YOUR CHURCHES AND START BUILDING ON A RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS NOW. REPENT NOW of your sins and plead for Forgiveness and Mercy from the Lord, and He will forgive you. Nothing will matter on the day of His Coming, only whether you have a relationship with Him. Do not hesitate any longer, or it may become too late. It is NOT about Church membership or fellowship with the world, IT IS ABOUT JESUS AND HIS KINGDOM.

My testimony for Jesus Christ

Filed under: Uncategorized — by terene2001 @ 11:51 上午

Before I came to Christ, I was filled with grievance and hatred, mainly because of the environment I was brought up in. My family used to be very violent, especially my father. He was very violent in the family since I was born, always quarreling with my mother over small issues. We migrated to another country to have a better life, but violence in my family didn’t stop. When I was small, I knew nothing about the condition of my family. But as I grew up, I became resentful of the atmosphere in the house, and hated my father for hurting my mother over financial problems. I even cursed him and my grandparents (my father’s parents) because they were almost always the reason for the arguments and violence. Most of the time, he was the one to lose his temper and smash things in his anger. As you know I was also patriotic to my country, thus when I hear reports on obvious biasness against my country, my resentment and hatred grew. Even my classmates spoke badly about my country, and my teachers were biased against me because of my nationality. I hated the world because of the hypocrisy and evil I saw. I was living in utter darkness, my life was miserable, I saw no hope and many times, I wanted to end my life to escape from this world.

But Praise be to God, He brought me to Christ in a special and unexpected way. He touched me with His Holy Spirit and removed all the resentment and hatred I had in my heart. I know it is Him, because the hatred and resentment I had was so ingrained in me that I could never have removed it with my own strength. Since the moment I confessed Jesus as my Lord and Saviour, His Holy Spirit dwells in me and begins cleansing me from the evil that once filled my heart. Before I knew the Lord Jesus Christ, I did not understand why my family was in such a bad condition. Now I know it was the devil at work, destroying and wreaking havoc among my family members by creating mutual resentment and hatred. But thanks be to God, He heard my prayers for help and now my family is so much better than before. The Love of the Almighty has removed much of the violence in my family, and now my parents are no longer quarreling like they were before. All this positive change could never have happened if Lord Jesus was not there for me. To Him be all the Glory and Praise.

Following the Lord Jesus Christ comes at a high price. Even though the relationship of my parents are so much better, the devil has never stopped his evil work in my family. Now he has turned my own parents against me, trying to stop me from following Lord Jesus. Indeed, many times my parents rage up against me and blasphemy against the Holy Spirit right in front of me. Because I have decided to follow Lord Jesus, I have become the devil’s enemy and now he uses all sorts of evil ways to stop me in my quest to seek God. I have been facing very real demonic attacks since the time I decided to follow the Lord Jesus Christ, and I know I will continue to face such attacks until the Lord’s Coming. But Praise be to God, He delivers me from the evil one every time it occurs, and now I rest in the presence of the Lord and in His Peace. Because of His Abounding Love, there is no hatred nor resentment in my heart, for His Love and Peace overwhelms my heart and covers over all other emotions I may have. The moment I decided to follow Him with all my heart, miracles have never stopped occurring in my life.

My very testimony is a witness for the Lord Jesus Christ and His Goodness, because only the True Living God can bring about such great and positive change in the life of a human like me.

I hope anyone who has read this testimony and found it helpful can share with all your families and friends so that they may know that Jesus Christ alone is Lord. May the Lord Jesus Christ have Mercy on you all and bring you all to repentance.

A message from Christ through a Chinese beggar boy (decades ago)

Filed under: Uncategorized — by terene2001 @ 12:59 下午

I weep tonight. I am heart-broken. I am in deep sorrow because those who believe in Me are so very few. I planned and prepared Heaven for everyone, having made room for all the people in all the world. I made a New Jerusalem in three great cities, one above the other, with plenty of space for all men. But men will not believe Me. Those who believe are so very few. I am sad, so very sad. Since men will not believe Me, I must destroy the wicked Earth.

I planned to visit it with three great calamities, but it is so wicked that I have added a fourth. If you have any friends, tell them to repent quickly; persuade men as quickly as possible to believe the Gospel. But if people will not listen and will not accept your message, the responsibility will not be upon you.

Get the Baptism of the Holy Spirit. If you will tarry and believe, I will Baptise you. The devil deceives you by making you think you will not receive the Baptism. But wait and seek, and I will Baptise you, and give you power to cast out devils and to heal the sick. Those who receive the seal of the Holy Spirit are to preach and testify, and I will be with you to help and protect you in times of danger.

If you think perhaps you will not get to Heaven, that thought is of the devil. I will not destroy My own children. I will protect and save everyone, not one of Mine will perish. I will overcome. Pray for Mr and Mrs Baker and I will give them power to cast out devils and to heal the sick. The children in the home should obey. Do not fight. Do not lie. Live at peace. When you pray, pray from the heart. Do not let your love grow cold. Tell other churches they, too, should seek the Holy Spirit. All churches must press forward.

The devil is coming to Earth in a few years, and there will be great tribulation. Do not worry, I will protect and care for you. People everywhere will gather together and fight in one place, after which I will come to punish the Earth. You must not fear, for those who believe in Me will be caught up to blow trumpets and to play harps. I will destroy two of every three. When I come, everything must obey My voice. Houses will tumble down, mountains will fall, trees will be destroyed. There will be utter destruction where I will not leave one blade of grass. All sorcerers and spiritist mediums shall be cast into Hell. Only those who believe the Gospel will be saved.
