My son, this and the future letters are written for you. You may not fully understand what these letters are mention while you are reading them in the future. As Deuteronomy 29:29 said: “Secret things belong to the Lord our God;”, I can only ask the Holy Spirit to guide you and understand what He wants you to understand. Even understand and experience more than I can write down to you and be more thorough to allow you to return to the Lord every day in your life. You can treat this as the most precious thing that I, as your father, will leave for you in my life. They recorded how the Lord Jesus had mercy on me more than 20 years ago, through the Holy Spirit, I heard His voice, promises, encouragement, and guiding me gradually in returning to His embrace. They also recorded how the Holy Spirit made Dad understand what sin is. Why did only the Lord Jesus come to the world himself and died on the cross for our sins, covering the source of our sinful nature as humans with His blood? Moreover, we need the guidance of the Holy Spirit in our hearts so that we can respond to the Highest God who loves us, we will then be able to give up on our selfishness and be saved! You might think, why did my dad put his most precious experience on the Internet for others to watch, even though his son has not had a chance to see it first? Son, don’t forget, my most precious experience and lessons, I often shared with you in my life. Those are basically what Dad received from the Holy Spirit. It was originally not mine, but the Most High God had mercy on me. So, I have to know and walk the narrow road into the kingdom of heaven. Therefore, if God allows me to say that those didn’t belong to me, I will testify to others that our God is alive. If I do not testify that our God is living among us, I would be like the record in Luke 19:12-27, when the servant received ten minus from the master, but would not do business to earn more. Instead, the servant collected and buried them, wrapped them in a handkerchief, and kept them until the master comes back and is punished. So I can’t just tell you that God is alive and living among us. If other people can know from what I shared, know how much God, who created the world, loves us as sinners and is willing to lay down ourselves to Him, confess our sins and repent, then I will not be punished when I see the Lord Jesus again. And I am always with you, my son, don’t you often hear all the things God has done to me? So, if the Holy Spirit allows me to speak of His love and truth, let others also listen to it.
I will divide the experience of how I met the Most High God into several articles, each with a small fragment of life, to tell you. There are some fragments of life that Dad once told you. But the most important lessons that I learned, because you were still young at that time, so you still could not understand. I will write down the most important things that Dad has learned after every fragment of life. You have to keep it in mind and don’t forget. My son, you often say to me: “Dad, I have heard it, I already know, I already understand, you don’t have to repeat it to me!” Do you know why I often repeat it? It’s because it does not matter what you know, it does not help of what you understand, are you willing to keep it firmly in your heart because of what you know and understand, and be with God? And if you think you know something, you still don’t know what you should know. I don’t want you to think that the Scriptures in the Bible will bother you, so Dad won’t write down all that I have learned from God’s Words in the Bible. If you remember what Dad said, you will read the Bible and pray throughout your life. Then, in the days, the Holy Spirit living in our hearts will remind you of what Dad said to you, all the things He wants to say to you in your heart. But if it’s important, I’ll mention that it can be found in which chapter of the Scriptures. Just as 1 John 2:27, you must keep it in your heart and think day and night. Don’t forget. May the Holy Spirit guard your heart until you meet him again. Amen!
“And as for you, the anointing which you received from Him remains in you, and you have no need for anyone to teach you; but as His anointing teaches you about all things, and is true and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you remain in Him.”
The first time I heard the Holy Spirit spoken to me
At that time, I had just accepted the Lord Jesus as my personal savior, so I read the Bible and prayed as the pastor said. One day, I fell asleep while praying. I woke up after a few minutes. Then I felt very bad. When I spoke to the God who created the heavens and the earth, I fell asleep. I didn’t know why and I wanted to say sorry to God. So I bowed my head and prayed to God and said, “God, I’m sorry, I fell asleep while talking to you. Please forgive me. If you want to rebuke me, please tell me! I am here to listen.” Then I waited quietly in my heart. Suddenly a voice appeared in my heart. I didn’t know where it came from. The voice said to me, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household.” At that time, in my heart I was surprised. I asked a question to myself from the bottom of my heart, “Can God really speak to us?” I wanted to try again, lest I was daydreaming, so I lowered my head and prayed again, “God, if you really speak to me, will it be ok to say it again please?” Waiting quietly in my heart, suddenly the voice appeared again and said to me, “Don’t be afraid, just believe.” From then on, I could not forget that voice in my life. The voice of the Holy Spirit is full of majesty. I don’t know where it is coming from or where it is going. Although it appeared only lightly many times, it was powerful and full of love. Even if it was a reproach, it was not the same as what the world would be judged by disgust. In it, I only know by now that it is a kind of reproach of love in judgment. In my past experience, most of God’s reproach to me was not just that God used an audible voice to directly say to me or a message appeared in my heart. In many cases, things that happened in the past would appear in my mind. Dad was acting as a spectator to re-sees what I said, thought or did at the scene. So that Dad understood at that moment of what I did and my real motive, to the point that I had no excuse, I would have to ask the Lord to forgive me. Son, you must understand and accept this. This is only the work of the Holy Spirit and Him alone! It is not something that can be changed by self-reflection. If I only know self-reflection and I don’t ask for the Holy Spirit’s enlightenment and forgiveness. Then, I will be best describe of what a friend said to me, I will be similar to a cat constantly chasing its short tail, and I will never catch my tail for my lifetime! John 16:7-13 also has the same record:
“But I (Jesus) tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I am leaving; for if I do not leave, the Helper (Holy Spirit) will not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him to you.
And He, when He comes, will convict the world regarding sin, and righteousness, and judgement:
regarding sin, because they do not believe in Me;
and regarding righteousness, because I am going to the Father and you no longer are going to see Me;
and regarding judgment, because the ruler of this world has been judged.
I have many more things to say to you, but you cannot bear them at the present time.
But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into the truth; for He will not speak on His own, but whatever He hears, He will speak; and He will disclose to you what is to come.”
Son, I will divide this letter into four parts, so that you can read it slowly and think carefully. I hope that the Holy Spirit who can keep you in His path will bring you back flawlessly through out your life to the Throne of Grace and Justices of the Lord Jesus who loves us, so that you will receive mercy and grace until the day you see our Lord again. Amen!
