As for us God’s people, although it is hard to admit, the true God who created the heaven and the earth, has already stated that we, His people, are not very reliable. The true God, Yahweh, who created the heaven and the earth, said in Isaiah 42:19-25:
Who is blind but my servant,
and deaf like the messenger I send?
Who is blind like the one in covenant with me,
blind like the servant of the Lord?
You have seen many things, but you pay no attention;
your ears are open, but you do not listen.”
It pleased the Lord
for the sake of his righteousness
to make his law great and glorious.
But this is a people plundered and looted,
all of them trapped in pits
or hidden away in prisons.
They have become plunder,
with no one to rescue them;
they have been made loot,
with no one to say, “Send them back.”
Which of you will listen to this
or pay close attention in time to come?
Who handed Jacob over to become loot,
and Israel (God’s chosen people) to the plunderers?
Was it not the Lord,
against whom we have sinned?
For they would not follow his ways;
they did not obey his law.
So he poured out on them his burning anger,
the violence of war.
It enveloped them in flames, yet they did not understand;
it consumed them, but they did not take it to heart.”
Isaiah 60:21B records:
“They are the shoot I (Yahweh) have planted,
the work of my hands,
for the display of my splendor.”
The teacher is the true God who created all things in the world. It is not the teacher’s fault that the students do not learn well. Moreover, the whole world is in the hands of the evil one. It is just that we think we are smart, but we are a fool and refuse to listen to the teacher’s teaching.
The following words are what my Lord Jesus said to all Christians including me.
Luke 6:27-28, 35-36 records:
“But I say to you who hear, love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,
bless those who curse you, pray for those who are abusive to you.
…
But love your enemies and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return; and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High; for He Himself is kind to ungrateful and evil people.
Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.”
Luke 6:37 records:
“Do not judge, and you will not be judged; and do not condemn, and you will not be condemned; pardon, and you will be pardoned.“
James 2:13 records:
“For judgment will be merciless to one who has shown no mercy; mercy triumphs over judgment.”
Ezekiel 34:16 records:
“I will seek the lost, bring back the scattered, bind up the broken, and strengthen the sick; but the fat and the strong I will eliminate. I will feed them with judgment.”
So when I thought of those who made fun of me openly or secretly, I asked the Lord to have mercy on me and them. When they were sick, I prayed for them; when they had difficulties, if I could help them, I would do it. Until my Lord Jesus comes again, I don’t want Him to be humiliated by the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places and sad because I am self-righteous and judge others by myself. My Lord Jesus, what he said in the Bible, will judge us for what each of us Christians has done, because the true God who created the heaven and the earth is righteous, and He does not regard guilt as innocent. My God has spoken or by his Spirit the following words, so I believe in Him.
Ezekiel 34:20-22 records:
“Therefore, this is what the Lord God says to them: “Behold, I, I Myself will also judge between the fat sheep and the lean sheep.
Since you push away with your side and shoulder, and gore all the weak with your horns until you have scattered them abroad,
therefore, I will save My flock, and they will no longer be plunder; and I will judge between one sheep and another.“
1 Peter 4:17 records:
“For it is time for judgment to begin with the household of God; and if it begins with us first, what will be the outcome for those who do not obey the gospel of God?”
Moreover, God once promised that those pride, hatred, and evil thoughts that come from the evil one, as long as we, as children of God, are willing to obey God’s will, reject evil, and choose good, those evil thoughts will one day be wiped away and left us by our Lord Jesus. (Detailed in The Lord’s anointing in my heart) I know my position, and I will not be blinded by those scenes of resentment that appear in my heart for no reason, and make my Lord humiliated by His enemy in the heavenly places and sad. Even if I am deceived, my Lord has a way to wake me up because of His name and His love.
Dad, although I love you, it doesn’t mean I am naïve or stupid. Stop trying to deceive me with deceit or tears. You can tell with your lips how miserable you were in the past until tears flow down your cheeks, but your soul cannot lie. It’s no use, Dad! No one can lie to the LORD – the Creator who made heaven and earth because our human souls are created from Him. And He has left the following words by His Spirit in Proverbs 16:2:
“All the ways of a man are clean in their own sight;
But the LORD examines the motives.”
Do you remember? If it hadn’t been for my God to remind me and prevent my brother from committing great sins in His place and offending Him, how would I know? Do you think that if I didn’t stop my brother back then, would my mother, brother, you, and I still be alive today? (Detailed in One Thought Sinking into Hell (Part 1 of 2)) It is impossible for us, human beings, to fight against the God who created heaven and earth, so don’t engage in unnecessary struggles. Do you know? When we human beings say one thing but what we said did not reflect what is truthfully in our heart, our soul can only reflect what we have in our heart, even people who have awakened souls are no exception. In fact, Christians who are unwilling to follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit and convict themselves regarding judgment do not know what they have missed. This is the best opportunity that the Trinity God created the heaven and earth and all things given to us. When a Christian is having godly sorrow and self-hatred, in the process of asking God for forgiveness, and in the process of abandoning evil and choosing good, the soul is helpless and pleads with God to be spiritually cleansed and regain consciousness. Just like the followers of Jesus, Peter and Paul, the Bible also records that they can see through others. Although the awakening of the soul is only a by-product of those who have been convicted by the Holy Spirit regarding judgments and you can only see the reaction of other people’s soul at that particular moment. You cannot possibly know whether the other person will be changed by the Lord Jesus in the future, so it is only a by-product and not very accurate in knowing what exactly the other will be in the future. What’s more, I still have selfishness, so I still find surprises from time to time in other people’s soul reactions after the facts. The most accurate thing is still to ask the Lord for my own or other people’s soul reactions. When the Lord answers me, that is the most accurate determination for all mankind because it is coming from above. So, Dad, even I can see your soul clearly. At that moment, what you expressed, you don’t need to try it in front of the Creator of all spirits——Yahweh. Don’t try to convince me with words or any reason. It’s useless, Dad! It’s really useless! Do you remember a conversation I had with you not too long ago? Do you remember that at that time, I often said to you, telling you to focus on the main points? In fact, at that time, I was reminding you, “Dad, don’t try to take me around an endless circle.” I am not the self-righteous Christian I used to be. Your soul will not lie. This is what the Creator said to me through the Holy Spirit: “You, human, can tell lies with your mouth, and your soul cannot lie.” Even the demons ruling in the sky will reveal their true identity when people command them to answer by the name of the Lord Jesus, “Do you believe that the Lord Jesus is the Son of God, the Word became flesh?”. Even if we, human beings, are given another 10,000 years to study and experience the state of our own or others’ souls, it is still impossible to change the words spoken by the Creator himself. What’s more, we human beings don’t even know that our own soul reaction is laid bare, so that God and people who belong to God and have awakened souls can see through them clearly. Dad, don’t try again, it will not work!
Your sentence: “What I want to do, I have to do it no matter what!”. Have you ever thought about why it often appears in your heart? Why you gave me up and other family members, in exchange for, even your own son, who would rather sell his soul to the evil one, who wants revenge on you, is it worth it? In this world, you are full of thoughts about how to make me burn incense in front of your mourning hall after you die. Dad, you have been tricked by the evil one, do you know? Have you realized that the idea of letting your children gather and offer incense in front of your mourning hall will often come to your mind for no reason, and you feel that it is reasonable to do so, so you try every means, coercion and temptation, give up all your relationship with me and no hesitation, to achieve it? Why does the idea of achieving the goal no matter what, always linger in your heart? You have had previous experience with the spirit world, and you know better than many others that if they don’t see it, they won’t believe it, the spirit world is real. When those thoughts appear: “My children, if they don’t burn incense in front of the mourning hall after my death, I will be ashamed!” If you are not afraid, you can ask those thoughts, do you believe that the Lord Jesus is the Son of God, incarnate. If you pay attention to your inner reaction, you will know it. After knowing the truth, the only advantage is to know that those thoughts do not come from us, are external but exist in our hearts. So, we can choose to follow those thoughts to die, or not to listen to those thoughts, and ask God to keep our heart clean.
Dad, bringing Mom together with you and going with me to that newer and more beautiful heavenly world preparing for the children of God. I want to see you all in there …
