Sins – Christian Faith Discussion

Descriptive power from the Holy Spirit – A Moment of Eternal Light (I) – Part 3 of 3

Among the gifts given to us humans by the Holy Spirit, the Lord taught me that some are hidden. Hidden means that these powers have been recorded in the Bible and have appeared in servants of God or people who have been healed by the Lord (those who are inspired do not necessarily need to be knowledgeable or smart). Or the authors of the Bible speak out due to the presence of the Holy Spirit, and the audience is pierced to the heart after hearing it, leaving them speechless, and making some listeners confess their sins and repent. Although there is no obvious explanation that it is God’s grace and power, the ability that makes some people repent can only come from God, not from humans. As recorded in 2 Corinthians 10:4-5 and Hebrews 4:12:

“For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses. We are destroying arguments and all arrogance raised against the knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ,“

“For the word of God is living and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, even penetrating as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart.“

For example, Peter was a fisherman filled with the Holy Spirit on Pentecost. The words he preached made the Jewish people feel pierced to the heart and made them confess their sins and repent. According to Acts 2:41, when Peter preached after being filled with the Holy Spirit, about three thousand people repented and believed in the Lord. Peter was a fisherman. Do you think he could convert three thousand people in his audience?

Another example is the man who was born blind from the Book of John’s Chapter 9. He had never seen and had no education opportunity in his life. In the real society, he was only the lowest class of people. However, God chose him to be the speaker for His own Son and to show God’s power in front of people. Just because the man who was born blind received the grace of the Lord, even under the pressure of the religious leaders at that time, he who was healed by the Lord still spoke the words from the bottom of his heart that came from God: “I was blind, but now I can see.” According to John 9:3, the words of the blind man were based on the Heavenly Father’s plan to show the deeds of God in him. Although there is no record in the Bible, anyone including his parent at that time was brave enough to openly support the blind man. That man was still grateful for the Lord’s grace and testified without hesitation, saying the following words, so that the Lord Jesus, the Son of God, was glorified and praised!

“I told you already and you did not listen; why do you want to hear it again? You do not want to become His disciples too, do you?”

“Well, here is the amazing thing, that you do not know where He (Jesus) is from, and yet He opened my eyes!“

“If this man were not from God, He could do nothing.”

“I believe, Lord.” And he worshiped Him (Jesus).

Those who received these words inspired by the Holy Spirit due to the healing of the Lord Jesus, and the influences on other people’s hearts, were like a two-edged sword, cutting through the self-righteous self-defense of the soul, making people feel guilty. The power of righteousness and judgment, self-condemnation, and speechlessness comes from the Spirit of God and is not obtained by those who preach it through their own efforts and research. Therefore, the blind man would willingly bow down to the Lord Jesus. Peter would thank the Lord for denying Him three times and still accepting him. As a result, Peter spent his whole life to bear witness for the Lord.

One of the gifts from the Holy Spirit is “description—the power of description that comes from the Holy Spirit.” It was only a few years after the Lord reviewed me that I was slowly able to understand what the descriptive power that comes from the Holy Spirit is like. This is different from our worldly ability to describe. People’s ability to describe can be a kind of insight and expression ability for things that happen to them but are not easy to say it clearly. For example, when a person eats too much shaved ice, he feels a rush of ice. The cold air flowed behind his back, along the back and tail keel, and rushed to the back of his head. The back of his head was numb due to the cold air, and his mind went blank. This is a kind of descriptive expression ability that people in the world may have. The descriptive power that comes from the Holy Spirit, although it is also spoken from human mouths, controls the appeal of those words to the readers after hearing or reading, as if they are seeing everything again in their hearts, or the ability to resurface thoughts that are usually hidden in people’s hearts, or the ability to leave people speechless, comes from the Holy Spirit. But our eyes only see the person speaking in front of us, and we misunderstand the person speaking in front of us, which makes us feel uncomfortable. As recorded in John 16:8,

“And He (Holy Spirit), when He comes, will convict the world regarding sin, and righteousness, and judgment.“

Since what we are talking about is the world, is it only judged the world who do not believe in the Lord? Isn’t it also judged the world who believe in the Lord? This is why the Lord asked me to speak out about the importance of the hidden way of speaking recorded in A Moment of Eternal Light – Part 2 of 3. It is not easy for all of us in the world to understand that when we feel pierced in our heart and uncomfortable, it is not always because of the other people who blame us, but it is also possible that the Holy Spirit of the Most High God who speaks to us in hidden ways in our hearts. However, not every word that people say that makes us uncomfortable comes from God. Only when the hidden thoughts in the heart are revealed and so can there be a chance that they come from the Holy Spirit. So we have to ask the Lord to give us the ability to discern.

The most important thing is that those who fear God and follow Jesus from their heart. We are just a messenger and a follower of Christ. Because of this mentality; and also because our God does not like to share His glory with the world. The descriptive power that comes from God can be recognized by the Holy Spirit and touch the hearts of those who listen or read these words.

But even so, if the one who preaches is complaining in his heart, like Jonah, the peace he deserves will be gone because man’s anger does not accomplish God’s righteousness. Most importantly, the Holy Spirit’s power to the audience, who should have only been gently rebuked in their hearts and led to repentance. A condemnation may be added that does not come from God but comes from the soul being infected by selfish desires. This makes the audience unable to accept the condemnation and walk away from the Gospel. It is like sprinkling salt to the wound. The pain makes people avoid and shrink away, and reduces the chance of asking the Lord for forgiveness. As Proverbs 12:18 says: “There is one who speaks rashly like the thrusts of a sword, but the tongue of the wise brings healing.” Moreover, the Lord also wants the author to be fair here. The author myself had been self-righteous, so why should I sprinkle salt on other people’s wounds and reduce their chances of confessing and repenting? This is also displeasing to the Lord, as recorded in Proverbs 24:17-18 and Matthew 5:44.

Finally, if readers ask the author, does preaching the gospel require knowledge? Of course, it’s good. At the very least, the blind man can know what kind of God he believes by listening to others around him daily. If we have no knowledge, can we preach the gospel? The author has the affirmation from the Holy Spirit in his heart that we can preach the gospel in good times and bad times. As Ecclesiastes 11:4, “One who watches the wind will not sow and one who looks at the clouds will not harvest.” But the author hopes even more that the Lord will be with me and pass on His grace to those who are willing to listen. Just like a fisherman and a born blind man, let the descriptive power from the Holy Spirit inform the world. Knowing that my Lord Jesus is alive, let the Spirit of the Lord break through all obstacles and unable to deny that the Lord Jesus is the Son of the living God and my Savior! So what if I don’t have knowledge? As long as the God I fear is wiser than anyone else in the world, that is all I need. But my son and readers, please remember that we must learn to return to the Lord every day, read God’s words, and let His words wash our hearts every day. So what if I become spiritual? So what if I know everything? A branch can do nothing even if it is separated from the vine! Only when people are willing to follow God humbly, His power will be with them. This is what I admire the most about my God. His wisdom allows wise people to reveal their foolishness through knowledge, allows fools to gain wisdom through obedience. The glorious name of my living God is “The Lord of hosts”!

Assurance From Heaven – “I AM”

This week, in the Bible study class at church, the teacher mentioned that “I AM” is the title used by God to refer to Himself. I am filled with gratitude to God!

It has been more than thirty years since I accepted the Lord Jesus. Perhaps because I have an educational background as an engineer, I have to learn logical thinking in everything and only believe in and accept reality based on evidence. Therefore, I have to believe that the Bible says that the Holy Spirit dwells in my heart. Although I believe it with my head, in my heart, because there is no practical basis to prove it, I have no solid way to cite it from my heart that the Holy Spirit dwells in my heart. Even when I first believed in the Lord thirty years ago, I experienced the Holy Spirit saying in my heart: “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you and your family will be saved.” However, I often asked God in my heart because I had no substantial evidence. “Is it you? Or am I out of my mind and thinking I heard Your voice?” Then, sometimes for no reason, a small voice in my heart gently said, “I AM.” But because I don’t know that this is a voice from God, I let that voice pass come and go from my heart. Gently brushing by without responding to God. It wasn’t until a few years ago that I realized that the true God who created the world wanted to let me know that He was calling me. He wanted me to know that He was real, living in my heart, and could hear my prayers. He can also see everything within my heart and soul and know my thoughts. But I haven’t known or understood His thoughts for more than twenty-some years. Children of God, please don’t be as ignorant as me. When the Holy Spirit moves you in your heart, ask God if He is speaking to you. If the Holy Spirit says to you, “I AM.” Then you can begin to have a dialog with HIM. It’s better if you really can’t hear God speak to you, but it would be a pity if you missed it.

Don’t be afraid, God will talk to sinners. In the darkest days of my life, it was my God who often spoke to me through the Holy Spirit when I doubted whether I really heard HIS voice. Holy Spirit told me, “Don’t be deceived by the evil one.” I was confused in my heart and asked the Lord, “Is it you?” The gentle but majestic voice appeared again and said, “I AM.”

“You have to walk on the narrow road. …”

Think for many days, uncertainly ask, “Is it you, Lord?”

“I AM.”

“My precious blood is enough for you. …”

Think for many days, no idea and ask, “Is it you, Lord?”

“I AM.”

“My name can drive away the darkness in your heart. …”

Think for many days, hopelessly ask, “Is it you, Lord?”

“I AM.”
My soul can then slow to furious and return to normal from the hands of the evil one. I can rely on my Lord and be dragged out by Him. If you ask me, is it real? To this day, there are still times when I feel as if I am dreaming. It is because the phrase “I AM” often appears in my heart. Then, HIS voice becomes an assurance from heaven to me that it is not a dream.

I am not a smart person, and I still feel unworthy. Many times, when God said to me, “I AM.” My tears flow down uncontrollably. Why does a man cry so often? I really don’t understand. Why did the Lord speak to me as an ordinary man personally, confirm to me that He is real, lead me to His arms, and let me kneel down to Him willingly, confess my sins and repent. Or maybe people are too smart and will be like King Solomon. Although he once prayed on the altar that as long as God’s people sin and repent and ask God for forgiveness, he will definitely forgive them. But King Solomon was such a wise man, and his wisdom was given to him by God. However, he only had two times in his life God appeared to him and two more times God spoke to him directly. Who knows how many times in his life that he missed the opportunity from the calling of God? In the end, God clearly told him his sins, but he was unwilling to repent. That was a pity.

Dear readers, do you see GOD? The LORD who created heaven and earth and all things, the true Trinity. HE is my master and my best friend. HE lives, forever lives! Even I kneel down every day shamelessly, I will still hold HIS leg and unwilling to leave HIM. HIS noble, loving and fearful name is “the LORD, GOD of armies”!

A Letter to My Dad (Part 3 of 3)

Dad, bringing Mom together with you and going with me to that newer and the most beautiful heavenly world preparing for the children of God. I want to see you all in there. Why do you believe in reincarnation? Why do you want to live again as a human or an animal with uncertainty about what you will become in this world? Why do you want to start all over in a new life again and fight for survival for the rest of it? Is it really good? Come with me to the world of heaven, the holy city, a world whose walls are made of jasper and the city was pure gold like clear glass. The foundation stones of the city wall were decorated with every kind of precious stone. The first foundation stone was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, chalcedony; the fourth, emerald; the fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, topaz; the tenth, chrysoprase; the eleventh, jacinth; the twelfth, amethyst. And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; each one of the gates was a single pearl. And the street of the city was pure gold, like transparent glass. In the middle of its street is a river of the water of life. On either side of the river was the tree of life, bearing twelve kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit every month; and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. There will no longer be any curse, and the throne of God and of the Lamb (Jesus) will be in it. And there will no longer be any night; and they will not need the light of a lamp nor the light of the sun, because the Lord God will illuminate them, and they will reign forever and ever. There is no temple in the city because the Heavenly Father and the Lord Jesus are the temples of the city. The cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murders, sexually immoral persons, sorcerers, idolaters, and most important all liars, shall not enter into the holy city, except only those whose names are written in the book of life of the Trinity God who created heaven and earth, can enter. Since there is a better world, why don’t you go with me and see it yourself, you can think of taking a trip with me, going to heaven for a visit? Dad, if you don’t like the holy city, when I leave this world to get there, I have already talked to my Lord Jesus, I’ll follow you wherever you go and never leave you. On earth, I did not listen to what God said in Exodus 20:12: “Honor your father and your mother, so that your days may be prolonged on the land which the LORD your God gives you.” Doing my duty as the firstborn son. For whatever reason, it was my fault for not obeying the Creator. Before I repented, I tried all my efforts to make you and my family not walking in the same living style. Dad, you don’t have to be unhappy, my family has the Spirit of the Lord in their hearts. My son, your grandson, even if he cannot fully understand it now, will love you from his heart in the future. And in eternity, I will never leave you again. When your grandson returns to his heavenly home, he will also understand that what I said today is pleasing to the Lord. Dad, you may question me, being too deeply brainwashed by Christianity, how do you know that world really exists? Dad, because the Lord Jesus really lives in my heart, as long as every day, when I kneel before Him, the blood of the Lord Jesus covers me, and I drive away the evil thoughts in my heart by the name of the Lord Jesus. There will also be turmoil in my heart, then my Lord Jesus has not left me. He has not left me, then He has not said a promise that He cannot keep. So, what the Lord Jesus promised, He will definitely do.

John 14:1-4 records:
“Do not let your hearts be troubled; believe in God, believe also in Me.
In My Father’s house are many rooms; if that were not so, I would have told you, because I am going there to prepare a place for you.
And if I go and prepare a place for you, I am coming again and will take you to Myself, so that where I am, there you also will be.
And you know the way where I am going.”

Although I have never visited the kingdom of heaven, because my Lord Jesus has never forsaken me and forgiven my sins, I can trust Him. Dad, every person who can enter the kingdom of heaven must start by accepting the Son of God—the Lord Jesus. When he admits that he does not know Him, or when he admits that he knows Him, but still sins and offends Him at will, we must ask Him to forgive us. Accepting the Holy Spirit into our hearts, learning to obey the calls of the Holy Spirit, and letting Him teach us to reject evil and choose good, only then can we enter the kingdom of heaven and gain eternal life. In the Bible, the Spirit of God once spoke the following words to a person:

Luke 1:77-79 records:
“To give His people the knowledge of salvation
By the forgiveness of their sins,
Because of the tender mercy of our God,
With which the Sunrise from on high will visit us
To shine on those who sit in darkness and the shadow of death,
To guide our feet into the way of peace.“

For many people, eternal life is just a direct golden ticket to the kingdom of heaven. It is just a guarantee. Those who have never asked the Lord Jesus for forgiveness will not know from the bottom of their hearts that the kingdom of heaven is real, looking forward going to there and meeting the Creator. And the Lord Jesus said in John 3:5:

“Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless someone is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.”

I am not God, and I cannot judge arbitrarily. Whether a person can be saved is the power of the Lord Jesus. However, everything that we, Christians, do, think, and say in this world has been recorded by the Creator, and we will definitely be judged when the Lord Jesus returns. Some people will be saved as if they were burned by fire. There is a part of us that the Lord Jesus will tell that He does not know them. Those who are born by the Holy Spirit are the least to worry about because they will continue to experience God’s grace and mercy. The hidden things in their hearts will be revealed by the Holy Spirit, driving us to ask for forgiveness and repentance. Only then will our souls be awakened from it, knowing that we were originally living in the hands of the evil one, self-righteous, but the Lord Jesus still did not give up on us. Only because we understand this undeserved love will we, the Christians, choose to go to the embrace of the Creator. Only such a person has the greatest security and can enter the kingdom of heaven with certainty.

So, Dad, you must admit that you have offended God. If you are not convinced, you can ask the Lord Jesus to replay in your heart all the sins you have done in your life. The Lord will let you know. It is similar to what I asked the Lord Jesus, “Lord, am I free before You?” He then let me lightly and dimly see myself within my heart of my past, let the LORD be blasphemed by the enemy. So that, I can ask Him to forgive me. (The details are recorded in Do I have to seek your advice first?) Don’t be afraid, Dad. The true God who created heaven and earth did it out of kindness so that we humans can see in our hearts that we have offended Him. There will be fear in the first few times, and gradually you will know that the Spirit of God is doing this because of His love for us. The Creator is not like some Christians who have never repented and confessed their sins saying, “We are the children of God, and we will not be judged by God at the end.” Only those who have never asked or forgotten forgiveness from the Lord Jesus will be blinded by the evil one because of the fear that comes from the wounded spirit in their heart. And turned them arrogant and said such words. God does not consider sin innocent. Only when we are forgiven, we, human beings, will have the opportunity to overcome the evil thoughts in our hearts by relying on the guidance of the Holy Spirit, the blood of the Lord Jesus, and by the name of the Lord Jesus. Dad, the God who created the heaven and the earth, He really loves you, if not, my Lord will not remind me again and again! 1 Samuel 15:29 is what He said to God’s people: “Also the Glory of Israel will not lie nor change His mind; for He is not a man, that He would change His mind.” Dad, please don’t be worried and come with me to see Him. All of us in the world, whether willing or not, cannot escape in the end to face the Creator and be judged by our God. I am your eldest son, Dad, follow me and meet our Creator, okay? I was a person who could even give up my own life for my own selfish desires and resentment, just to take revenge on my father. The Lord Jesus still did not abandon me, saved me from resentment, and gave me the grace of regeneration. Also, accept me as His disciple and friend, so He will not abandon you. It is because He once said the following passage and because He did what He said and never abandoned me!

Ezekiel 18:21-23 records:
“But if the wicked person turns from all his sins which he has committed and keeps all My statutes and practices justice and righteousness, he shall certainly live; he shall not die.
All his offenses which he has committed will not be remembered against him; because of his righteousness which he has practiced, he will live.
Do I take any pleasure in the death of the wicked,” declares the Lord GOD, rather than that he would turn from his ways and live?”

Don’t pay attention to what other people say, God loves my sidings, mother, and you. Because 1 Timothy 1:15-16 records:

“It is a trustworthy statement, deserving full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, among whom I am foremost. Yet for this reason I found mercy, so that in me as the foremost sinner Jesus Christ might demonstrate His perfect patience as an example for those who would believe in Him for eternal life.”

I believe that what the Lord Jesus said to me directly will lead me to see all of you to truly know Him. He will rescue all of you from the evil one. If one of you is unwilling to accept the Lord Jesus, confess your sins and repent, you will not be able to leave me alone especially you, Dad. Whether you accept the Lord Jesus or not or are willing or unwilling to go to the kingdom of heaven with me, you cannot abandon me anymore. I have already told the Lord Jesus that I just want to go to the Kingdom of Heaven after leaving this world, to see the home that the Lord has prepared for His people, to see His face, and to ask Him to take me back walking through my entire life again. Let me know what is really happening behind the scenes in some situations, and I will be satisfied. Then, I would rather be with you and be by your side in eternity, whether you choose to live forever or die forever. I, your son, do not have such ability to do what I say. Don’t forget that my Lord Jesus is the true God who created heaven and earth. When He established the laws of the universe, Dad, you and I were not born in this world yet. He can send me to hell, the lake of fire, if He wants to. Now, people all over the world know that I have made a promise to you, do you think I can deny it in front of the true God who created the world? Even then, if I really regretted it, I couldn’t change what I said to the Lord. In front of the true God who created the world, it is impossible to make any change to my promise to you, not to mention that all readers will also testify for me. So, no matter what, you will see me in eternal life or eternal death. At that time, I don’t have to go to work, I have eternal life, and I will be with you. Accept the Lord Jesus, Dad, admit that you did not know Him before, and sinned against Him. Come with me to the kingdom of heaven and meet the true God who created heaven and earth. Dad, in this way, you can prevent me from going to the space of eternal death to meet you. I couldn’t possibly avoid venting that you were so stupid not to believe in the Lord Jesus and accept Him. I will not give you a good time. Dad, go to heaven with me, lest you want to look at my dissatisfied face in eternity.

What’s more, the Lord Jesus once promised me that if I stick to the way He has taught me to endure, when people in the world are being tested, He will keep me from my trials. If I hold on to what He has given me, there is still a crown reserved for me. Although I don’t know why the Lord will prepare a crown for me as an ordinary person and a sinner like me, He can actually have many choices. Choose someone who is better or smarter, or has a lot of knowledge or eloquence, and they are all better than me. So, Dad, I think that day, you will be proud of your son because of the day the Creator gives me the crown, share with me the glory that the Creator possibly gives to your son, okay? In my life, the number of times you have spoken to me is beyond the count of ten fingers. I still have many things that happened to me, and I want to share with you that you will not understand now. You won’t understand until you have experienced forgiveness and regeneration as I have. Dad, when I was young, I followed you and my mother, going here and there. Now I am longing for you to follow me and go to heaven with me. Dad, take Mom, accept the Lord Jesus as your Savior, admit that you have offended Him, and ask Him to forgive you. As long as we are willing to repent, the Lord will certainly forgive us, and He will do what He says. Moreover, we human beings can’t rely on what we know to overcome evil. You don’t have to worry, no one in this world can abandon evil and choose well in his life. What’s more, we don’t even know what sin is. If the Lord hadn’t told me to walk the narrow path, telling me that His precious blood is enough for me, and telling me that by His name, the evil thoughts in my heart can be driven away, how would I, an ignorant person, know? The Lord Jesus is the only begotten son of the true God who created heavens, earth, and all things. He has great power to help those who believe in Him, to abandon evil and choose good, and to be reborn as a man. The Lord Jesus does not need us to do any good deeds to accept us, He only needs us to trust Him. He will let the Holy Spirit lead us to repent and confess our sins in our life and walk toward His narrow path. Dad, believe me, follow me to accept the Lord Jesus as your Savior. The worst outcome is that you will have me by your side, together in the lake of eternal death; but the best outcome is that our family, mom and you, and my younger brothers and sisters, including my son, your grandson, are also in the kingdom of heaven. Dad, share with me what God has prepared for me. Believe in Jesus, follow me to that newer and the most beautiful holy city for eternal life!

A Letter to My Dad (Part 2 of 3)

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 …

A Letter to My Dad (Part 1 of 3)

Dad, I wrote this letter to you. Although I posted this letter on the Internet, I want all readers who read this letter to testify to my commitment to you in this letter. You must read this letter, lest readers all over the world know what I want to say to you, and my father himself does not know.

Do you remember? When I was young, my mom often went to the back mountain of a village for morning exercise. When I was a child, once, for some reason, I wanted to go to the back mountain to find her. Our home is a ten-minute walk away, and I don’t remember how I opened the door and walked out. After two blocks, I suddenly turned around and saw you, Dad, still wearing pajamas, hurried over, grabbed my hand, and took me back home. I don’t remember whether you said anything to me at that time, I only remember your back in pajamas, and I was hold by your hand following you and walking home all the way. Recently, in my heart, there is often that scene of you holding my hand to go home. The Spirit of God often reminds me in my heart: “Your father also loved you sincerely, don’t be fooled by that illusion of resentment that often appears in your heart. When you were controlled by the evil one, I stopped you from making big mistakes and asked you to forgive your father and yourself. My promise still doesn’t change today. Do you remember? I made a promise to you when you first accepted me as your savior, the first time you begged me to rebuke you after you prayed, and fell asleep. Didn’t I say to you, when you believe in the Lord Jesus, you and your family will be saved? After you have been a confused Christian for more than 20 years and repent, am I not asking you to share the gospel with your parents through your son’s mouth? Didn’t I tell you when you later doubted and asked me, you only need to believe in me. Because of my name, I will also save them from the hands of the evil one. You have to seek me first My Kingdom and My Righteousness, and other things will be given to you.”

Dad, do you know that, in the past, my heart was actually full of despair. In despair, I have even more resentment. I used to hate all the false so-called benevolence and love in this world, and I also hated why I was cursed by God, and why I grew up in such a difficult family. Until I met Him, the Lord Jesus who changed my life, the Trinity God who created the heaven and the earth. He also changed my entire soul and promised that if I believed in Him, He will save my parents and sibling to have eternal life in heaven. When His promise first initially resolved the bondage of sin after I truly repented a few years ago. Secondly, I was self-centered in getting along with Him. Thirdly, I couldn’t really love all other God’s children from my heart. Fourthly, the resolution of my fear of suffering, ridicule, being persecuted, and even dying for sharing the gospel. Furthermore, my Lord Jesus made me understand that the precious blood of Him and His name can drive away all kinds of evil thoughts in my heart. The evil thoughts came from the understanding to distinguish between good and evil but just to please my own pleasure. I have already made up my mind to follow my Lord Jesus. In addition, the Lord Jesus did not enslave me. He never shouted at me in my heart. He is the Son of God. With such a noble status, He is legally having the authority to order me as a slave. Instead, He treats me as a friend. My Lord Jesus will only call me to voluntarily repent in my heart. Although I fear Him when He disciplines me. He has always respected me. Even thirty years earlier, He promised me and gave me the promise to lead my father and sidling to accept Him as their personal Savior. (detailed in Struck down, but not destroyed (Part 1 of 4)). At this moment, my heart is no longer bound by resentment and self-pity. Although I am still impatient with you, it is full of gratitude that I have never had before. Thank you my Heavenly Father for putting me to grow up in this family! Thank you Him, twice reminded me, let me prevent my brother from committing great sins against Him. And so, we can survive and have the opportunity to know Him. Thank you my Heavenly Father for calling me in my heart, preventing me from falling into the tricks of the devil, and wanting to perish together with you, Dad! Thank you Him for letting me miss you all the time, and thank you for the family that my Heavenly Father arranged for me on this earth. This family that people in the world who have never been truly forgiven will despise. On the contrary, the Lord Jesus taught me that my parent’s family shall be the most precious to me. So in this life, I shall share the Lord Jesus who gave His life and blood for me. It is a reasonable thing over everything.

When the Lord Jesus let me experience His love and forgiveness many times, although I still hate you for your selfish behavior, for your own purpose and face, even can spread disputes to your own family. We, brothers and sisters of your own blood, do not trust each other. But once, the Lord Jesus let me know that I still love you from the bottom of my heart, Dad! That time, I cried terribly. I didn’t want your soul to go down to hell and be separated from me forever. Although I sometimes hated you, after that day, I realized at the same time how much I hated you. It is the same degree as how much I love you too. You have been making arrangements for yourself after death at your funeral. You want me to offer you a stick of incense in your mourning hall. This will dishonor our Creator. I believe in the true God who created the world, the one who came to this world originally created by Him, saved me from the evil one, and made me a child of God. His words are the Laws and truth of the world and the universe. He said:

Exodus 20:2-6 records:
“I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.
You shall have no other gods before Me.
You shall not make for yourself an idol, or any likeness of what is in heaven above or on the earth beneath, or in the water under the earth.
You shall not worship them nor serve them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, inflicting the punishment of the fathers on the children, on the third and the fourth generations of those who hate Me,
but showing favor to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.”

Isaiah 43:10B-13 records:
“Before Me there was no God formed,
And there will be none after Me.
I, only I, am the Lord,
And there is no savior besides Me.
It is I who have declared and saved and proclaimed,
And there was no strange god among you;
So you are My witnesses,” declares the Lord,
“And I am God.
Even from eternity I am He,
And there is no one who can rescue from My hand;
I act, and who can reverse it?”

Dad, you once questioned that in this world, so many religions say that what they believe in is the true God, how do you know that the Lord Jesus sharing by Christianity is the true God? Moreover, Christian believers also have many bad people. If the Lord Jesus is the true God, why are there so many hypocritical and self-righteous Christians, and Jesus cannot teach His own believers well? How can Jesus be the true God?

Dad, my Lord Jesus, is the Creator of all things, the Son of God. I have never heard of a God believed in by a religion who can tell a puny believer thirty years in advance that “when you believe in the Lord Jesus, you and your whole family will be saved.” Moreover, if the other so-called gods are true God, why did only the Lord Jesus come, in my heart, reminded me to forgive you and myself, and prevent me from taking revenge on you? (Detailed in One Thought Repent Longing to Heaven (1)) Why don’t other so-called gods come to stop me? Are those gods not godly enough and sleeping? Or do they have to wait for someone else to notify them before they are aware that I’m going to take revenge on you? Or are those gods waiting to see a good show, wanting to see us father and son fight each other? Why can the evil thoughts in my heart be quieted down only when the precious blood of the Lord Jesus covers me? Why is it only by the name of the Lord Jesus that I can drive those evil thoughts out of my heart and dreams? (Detailed in By the Name of the Lord Jesus (Part 1 of 3)) Why can’t I cover and drive away the evil thoughts in my heart by the name of other gods, or by their blood, or by reciting spells? The true God who created the world, there is no distinction between Eastern or Western beliefs. Jesus is the true God who created the world, the only begotten Son of God for all of us. God is willing to send His son to come to this world. In this world, Jesus is looking for lost people like me. People in the world will only spurn or ridicule people who they think are evil or wicked or too difficult to change. On the contrary, my Lord Jesus personally came to find me a sinner, stopped me from sinning, and reminded me that His precious blood is enough for me, and His name can drive away the darkness in my heart. He is reviving my soul and using His name to guide me on the path of righteousness. Can you tell me that is there any more sincere love than this?

In the entire universe, if there are other so-called gods, I will not believe in them. Those gods who don’t know that I am sick, cannot heal me, or turn a blind eye, I have no reason at all to believe in them. There is only the Trinity God I believe in, only Him, and He alone. When people were abandoning me on the surface or secretly, laughing at me in their hearts, or didn’t know how to deal with me, and let me live on my own towards self-dismissal in front of their eyesight. Even when I gave up on myself, He was still in my heart and did not leave me. He pulled me out of the mud, washed my soul, cleansed my heart, so that I could regain my Newborn, and taught me to understand His heart. I only believe in and kneel in front of my Savior Jesus, because He has never abandoned me. I will not do what will shame my Lord and still agree to your request. After you are passing away, in front of the mourning hall, I offer incense to you.

And, Dad, you need to understand two things. Firstly, without the Lord Jesus reminding me in my heart twice, my brother and I were taken back by the Creator early in our life when he planned to find a female for getting married before he repent. Secondly, without the day the Lord Jesus told me to forgive you and forgive myself, your hands would be stained with my blood, and the father would bury his own son. That day, when I entered your home if the Creator hadn’t reminded me through the Holy Spirit, telling me: “Forgive your father and forgive yourself.” I have an 80% to 90% success rate. After what I say to you and when you are in great anger, I will give you a chance to kill me. For the rest of the success rate, while you are in anger, I will grab your hand and stab a knife into my heart. You don’t need to know why I did that, you just need to know that I am your son, and I have passed on the true meaning of your words that you always keep in your heart and become golden sentences, “What I want to do, I will do it no matter what!” I am more ruthless and heartless than you, Dad. I want to take revenge on you, even to give up my own life and the wife and son who love me, no matter what. What I want to do, I will do it no matter what? Is it really worth it? How silly of us, Dad! It’s really two stupid father and son of the same family!

As for us, the people of God, the true God who created the heaven and the earth, he has already explained…

One Thought Repent Longing to Heaven (4) – By the Name of the Lord Jesus (Part 3 Of 3)

One day, I suddenly remembered the evil one, just as 1 John 5:19 said, how on earth did the whole world lie under his hand? Then I remembered a Christian’s story about his wife’s cheating. At that time, I uncertainly said to myself, “If the evil one is in the heart of a married man and gives him thought of the cheating association with a good friend of her wife. At the same time, in the hearts of her wife’s good friend, the same seeds were put down. The evil one lets the thoughts often surface in their hearts, making them think it was their own thoughts. Will those two accept the thoughts and sin against their wife and good friend?” Thinking of this, I felt a sense of powerlessness and fear from the bottom of my heart. Right at that moment, the majestic and loving words of the Holy Spirit came to me and said, “Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but are unable to kill the soul.” My heart was then no longer feared and became quiet. Son, when you grow up and see this, remember that the Holy Spirit never talks to us in a meaningless way.

After that, a question suddenly appeared in my heart. The question is this: “since the evil one is tempting me, then I am innocent. Why do I have to confess my sins and repent so that I can drive away my dark and negative thoughts in the name of the Lord?” This question remained in my heart until one day, the words of the Lord came to me through the Holy Spirit and said, “Go back and see the first sin of Adam and Eve, and you will know.” Because at that time, I remembered my confusion of “I am innocent”, I know that my Lord is going to guide me in resolving my confusion. As a result, I was reading Eve listened to the serpent’s temptation and she felt that it was good for her to understand good and evil like God does. So, she did not listen to God’s words, ate the fruit, and even gave it to Adam to eat. Adam did not object, so all listened to the serpent’s words and ignored God’s warning. He ate the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. In the end, God didn’t just punish the serpent, even Adam and Eve were punished. When I saw it, I knew that the serpent (the devil) who seduced people was guilty, and Adam and Eve, who listened to the temptation but didn’t listen to God’s words, were also guilty. There was no innocent person, only those who voluntarily picked up the temptation from the evil one and sinned against the Creator of the Universe.

Dear children of God, although this does not fit into this world’s scientific logical thinking category, our Lord Jesus did not once say, “The testimony of two people is true.” I bear witness to the process of being born again that the Lord Jesus let me experience. It is because I believe that the One who told me to speak boldly, He will also bear witness for His own name in the hearts of all people through the Holy Spirit.

Isaiah 42:16 records:

“I will lead the blind by ways they have not known,
along unfamiliar paths I will guide them;
I will turn the darkness into light before them
and make the rough places smooth.
These are the things I will do;
I will not forsake them.”

I am especially here to testify to those Christians who are often beaten. Even if others have given up on you, even if you have given up on yourself, I say to you in the name of my Savior Jesus. Our Lord Jesus will not give up on you, He has great power, and can personally pull those who are bound by sin from the mud. It is because His name is greater than the spirit of the world. Please don’t give up on yourself, and don’t give up on prayers. Ask the Lord to cover you with His precious blood, and by the name of the Lord Jesus, drive away the evil thoughts that always haunt you. You are better than those who do well without ever asking the Lord for healing (indeed, as Ecclesiastes 7:20 says, “Indeed, there is no one on earth who is righteous, no one who does what is right and never sins.”), because we have nothing to be proud of ourselves. It’s easier to be humble, it’s easier to trust God, it’s easier to accept God’s power, it’s easier to enter the kingdom of God ahead of others, it’s easier to understand why the Lord Jesus said to the Jewish religious leaders: “Truly I tell you, the tax collectors and the prostitutes are entering the kingdom of God ahead of you. For John came to you to show you the way of righteousness, and you did not believe him, but the tax collectors and the prostitutes did. And even after you saw this, you did not repent and believe him.” But keep in mind that the lure of darkness will use your desire for self-righteousness or self-evidence as nourishment to fuel the fire inside your soul and appear more frequently. No righteous person in the world knows the reason better than a victim like me. Also as recorded in Genesis 4:7 and Acts 4:12:

“If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have you, but you must rule over it.”

“Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.”

Therefore, you must repent with all your heart. As long as you are willing to forsake evil and choose good, our Lord Jesus will forgive your sins, walk with you, and help you drive away the darkness in your heart. Because Isaiah 55:7-9/11/13 records:

“Let the wicked forsake their ways
    and the unrighteous their thoughts.
Let them turn to the Lord, and he will have mercy on them,
    and to our God, for he will freely pardon.
“For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
    neither are your ways my ways,”
declares the Lord.
“As the heavens are higher than the earth,
    so are my ways higher than your ways
    and my thoughts than your thoughts.
…
so is my word that goes out from my mouth:
    It will not return to me empty,
but will accomplish what I desire
    and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.
…
Instead of the thornbush will grow the juniper,
    and instead of briers the myrtle will grow.
This will be for the Lord’s renown,
    for an everlasting sign,
    that will endure forever.”

I thank my Savior Jesus from the bottom of my heart! If it weren’t for him who never left, I would be a living dead person full of all kinds of resentment and pride. It was the Lord who saved me from the hand of the evil one. I want to follow Him all my life, praising and preaching the grace of His redemption. Son, I share with you what the Lord Jesus has done to me. You must keep it in your heart, think carefully, pass it on from generation to generation, and praise God for the wonderful salvation that he has done to your father.

Finally, I conclude with my own personal experience together with the words of the Apostle Peter in Acts 4:10-12 and the Apostle Paul in 1 Corinthians 1:18-31:

then know this, all the children of God: It is by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified but whom God raised from the dead, that I stand before you healed.
Jesus is
“‘the stone you builders rejected,
which has become the cornerstone.’
Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.”

For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.
For it is written:
“I will destroy the wisdom of the wise;
the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate.”
Where is the wise person? Where is the teacher of the law? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?
For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not know him, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe.
Jews demand signs and some Christians look for knowledge,
but we preach Christ crucified: a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to some knowledgeable Christians,
but to those whom God has called, both Jews and Christians, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.
For the foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than human strength.
Brothers and sisters, think of what you were when you were called. Not many of you were knowledgeable by human standards; not many were influential; not many were of noble birth.
But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong.
God chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things—and the things that are not—to nullify the things that are,
so that no one may boast before him.
It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God—that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption.
Therefore, as it is written: “LET THE ONE WHO BOASTS BOAST IN THE LORD.”

The Triune God created the heavens, the earth, and all things. His noble and incomparable name is “Jehovah, the Lord Almighty”. I don’t need to say anything for Him. He only asked me to speak honestly about what He has done to me. It was what He asked me to do. May all the glory and praise be to the Heavenly Father who loves us, the Son of God and the Lord Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit, the true God of our Trinity! Amen!

Brothers and sisters, after reading this testimonial, the three thoughts of “Impossible! Don’t believe it! Not convinced!” spring up in your heart, thinking that I am belittling your knowledge and that I am underestimating you. In front of our Lord, I have a soft conviction for you. Have you ever thought that you may have been fooled and blinded by the evil one? If you really want to know the truth, in fact, in the name of the Lord Jesus, you can command the spirit that uttered those three thoughts within you to answer you, whether the spirit within you believes that the Lord Jesus has become flesh, and you will know. May the Holy Spirit who dwells in you will make you believe the words of Ephesians 2:2 and 1 John 4:1-6 to know the truth.

One Thought Repent Longing to Heaven (4) – By the Name of the Lord Jesus (Part 2 Of 3)

After reading Isaiah 57:15 and another reading of Acts 19:15, it said there:

“For this is what the high and exalted One
Who lives forever, whose name is Holy, says:
“I dwell in a high and holy place,
And also with the contrite and lowly of spirit
In order to revive the spirit of the lowly
And to revive the heart of the contrite…”

“But the evil spirit responded and said to them, “I recognize Jesus, and I know of Paul, but who are you?””

I realized that it is not the words that have spirituality, but the God who created the heaven and the earth, looking at you and me in the sky. Only when I am completely humbled from the bottom of my heart to believe in my Savior Jesus, who is brought out by His name Power will be with me to drive the evil one away from my heart.

Son, remember what the apostle Paul said in 1 Corinthians 2:9-16.

“but just as it is written:

“THINGS WHICH EYE HAS NOT SEEN AND EAR HAS NOT HEARD,
AND WHICH HAVE NOT ENTERED THE HUMAN HEART,
ALL THAT GOD HAS PREPARED FOR THOSE WHO LOVE HIM.”

For to us God revealed them through the Spirit; for the Spirit searches all things, even the depths of God.
For who among people knows the thoughts of a person except the spirit of the person that is in him? So also the thoughts of God no one knows, except the Spirit of God.
Now we have not received the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may know the things freely given to us by God.
We also speak these things, not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Spirit, combining spiritual thoughts with spiritual words.
But a natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned.
But the one who is spiritual discerns all things, yet he himself is discerned by no one.
For who has known the mind of the Lord, that he will instruct Him? But we have the mind of Christ.“

Son. If it wasn’t for the Holy Spirit reminding me that I could rely on the Lord to resist, how would I know that I could drive away the dark and negative thoughts in my heart by the name of the Lord Jesus? In my whole life, I only remember a preacher and his wife who said to me once. Such a small chance, for us human beings, is something that the human heart has never imagined. The words matched each other, and it was the Lord who had mercy on me and told me personally. That allowed your father to find a way to overcome sin in my heart, a workable way, and a way for sinners to be born again in the arms of the Son of God, the Savior Jesus. This is the grace of the Lord, and I have nothing to boast about.

I had wondered if “by the name of the Lord Jesus” was just the Lord’s mercy on me, it was individual. Praise the Lord! I later shared it with different brothers and sisters on two different occasions. One of the sisters later said to me that when she was sleeping, she often thought of her deceased mother and could not sleep. One night, she remembered what I had shared with her family, and by the name of the Lord, she commanded the thought to go away that made her miss her mother and made her often couldn’t fall asleep, it did not appear again.

Another brother in the Lord, I don’t know what troubles he has, but by chance, I shared with him my experience of driving away resentment by the name of the Lord Jesus. I even told him that sometimes I lost the battle in my dreams. After woke up, the Holy Spirit called me to knelt down and confessed to Him the sin of accepting resentment. After that, by the name of the Lord, those dark resentments could be driven away. Then one day, when the brother met me again, he gave me a very warm hug. I just felt that he might have experienced the power of “by the name of the Lord Jesus”. I hope he will not in the future, once again be bounded by sin. He can live well under the guidance of the Holy Spirit and live in the Lord.

The following sharing was told by the Lord to “speak boldly”, so I say it here.

Later, when I read 1 John 4:1-6, It said that:

“Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.
By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God;
and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God; this is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming, and now it is already in the world.
You are from God, little children, and have overcome them; because greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world.
They are from the world, therefore they speak as from the world, and the world listens to them.
We are from God. The one who knows God listens to us; the one who is not from God does not listen to us. By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error.“

I was very curious in my heart and wanted to know why my heart trembled every time because of the blood of the Lord Jesus and by the name of the Lord Jesus. So once, when I had some negative pride in my heart, and the thought of seeing others unpleasant appeared, I referred to the book of 1 John, the words recorded by God through the apostle John. I said in my heart, “By the name of my Lord Jesus, I command the spirit that has just been in my heart with those negative and proud thoughts to answer me, do you believe that the Lord Jesus is the Son of God, the Word became flesh, and came into the world?” Just when I said, “the Word became flesh”, that familiar trembling in my heart reappeared. I don’t know why but I didn’t know how to be afraid. So, in my heart, by the name of the Lord Jesus, I ordered the evil one to retreat far away. Then there was another shudder in my heart. The thought of being proud to look at others and disliking others disappeared; it is leaving no trace in my heart. Then after a few days, fear appeared in my consciousness. What was there in my mind? By the name of the Lord, drive it away!

In the following period, until today, I often say to myself, “Bad! Another trick!” or “That Evil One! Here come again?”. Then, I drive it away “By the Name of the Lord Jesus”, and those negative thoughts will disappear. I will be bound by resentment if I don’t want to give up those thoughts. After repenting, I have resisted the evil one in my heart over the past few years according to what Holy Spirit told me to do. With the precious blood of the Lord and the power of His name, my spiritual state was stabilized and I was no longer easily overthrown. Son, Isaiah 49:24-26, the words from the mouth of our God, the LORD, who made heaven and earth, are true! He has great power to deliver the captives, and I am one of them!

““Can the prey be taken from a mighty man,
Or the captives of a tyrant be rescued?”
Indeed, this is what the Lord says:
“Even the captives of the mighty man will be taken away,
And the prey of a tyrant will be rescued;
For I will contend with the one who contends with you,
And I will save your sons.
I will feed your oppressors with their own flesh,
And they will become drunk with their own blood as with sweet wine;
And humanity will know that I, the Lord, am your Savior
And your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.”“

One Thought Repent Longing to Heaven (4) – By the Name of the Lord Jesus (Part 1 Of 3)

My dear son and readers! In this testimony, I will tell you what happened to me and how to overcome sin by the name of the Son of God, the Lord Jesus. This is also the most important part of my promise to my Lord Jesus. This article is divided into three parts, each with a five-minute reading time. I pray that the Spirit of God will guide your heart so that you can see in your heart what I have experienced and understand what He wants you to understand His ways.

Ever since the Lord told me to forsake evil and choose good, He will then have glory. He also told me to take a narrow path. Even when I was helpless, my Lord told me His precious blood was sufficient for me. I believe that what the Lord Jesus said to me through the Holy Spirit is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path! But I still have a problem, even if I ask the blood of the Lord to cover me and not fall too easily to the evil one, I still have no discernment to completely resolve the temptation of sin. It is because I also agree that those thoughts are right. The resentment that comes from the knowledge of distinguishing between good and evil, and the resentment that others have done to me or laughed at me, will often reappear when I pray or read the Bible every day on my knees. In my mind, even if I ask the Lord’s precious blood to cover me, I am often drawn to it as long as I am voluntarily being fooled. My mouth is reading God’s words in the Bible, but my heart is lost in clouds and mists thousands of miles away. I don’t like that kind of me. I want to meet the God who loves me from reading the Bible, but the thought that often floats in my heart attracts my mind. So many times, when I finish reading the Bible, I can’t remember the scriptures I just read at all. My mind goes blank like my memory has been stolen. Then I will feel sad about why I don’t even have that little concentration. And I wonder why the Lord told me that His blood is sufficient for me, but I am still defeated and feel that it is not sufficient? So, I often ask the Lord to forgive me and have mercy on me! But one day, I remembered that a missionary couple once said, “By the name of the Lord Jesus, we can drive away the temptations to us from the evil one.” Then after a while, a message from the Holy Spirit appeared lightly and repeatedly in my heart and it took many days for me to listen carefully to it. The message was like this:

“You don’t necessarily have to be tempted passively by the evil one and then ask me to have mercy on you. You can rely on me to resist those temptations.”

But at that time, I didn’t know how to rely on the Lord to resist. Then the missionary’s words were connected in my heart with the thought that had appeared in my heart that I could resist. However, I cannot remember how long after being knocked down, the day when I have teased again. When I read the Bible, I didn’t want to be knocked down again, and more importantly; the Holy Spirit reminded me that I can resist. So, in my heart, I say to the various resentments and the evil thoughts that have arisen in my mind, “By the name of the Lord Jesus, I command the evil one to retreat far away, not allowing You to annoy me!” As I said this, I felt a commotion in my heart. Or rather to be precise, in the depths of my soul, because by the name of the Lord Jesus, I feel that from my soul, something is expelled and stripped away from there. After that thing was expelled, the scenes and resentments of being ridiculed or abandoned in my heart, together with the restlessness in my soul, disappeared like the tide suddenly ebbs—— no more —— not at all. It is also similar to a rubber balloon that had been inflated with an air pump, suddenly the air pump was removed, and the balloon deflated and returned to its original shape. To be further simply described, it is the same as a person who was drenched in cold water and gave a cold shock, no longer indulged in the dream, and woke up. Over the past few years, I had tried countless times. As long I did not want to be fooled by all kinds of negative images or emotions that appeared in my heart, whenever I commanded the evil one in my heart, by the name of the Lord Jesus, to go away. There was a commotion in my heart at first, and then I woke up like taking a cold shower, and those negative thoughts disappeared. But whenever I no longer had the heart to rely on the Lord Jesus, thinking that as long as it is like chanting a mantra, those negative thoughts could not be driven away from my heart. That sentence, “By the name of the Lord Jesus, command the evil one to retreat far away” seems like having a spiritual that understands what I have in my heart. Only when I trusted the Lord with all my heart, I could drive those negative thoughts away and drive them out of my heart. Moreover, I found that the most important battlefield is in my dreams. If it was in the dream, I remembered “by the name of the Lord” to drive away the evil one. I had really won the battle. Those negative and dark thoughts were dissipated. If I didn’t remember or didn’t want to seek help from the Lord’s name, I would be knocked down. Then, I had to ask the Lord to forgive me so that those evil thoughts can be dispelled. By this year, when I had a…

The Precious Blood of Jesus is covering me – One Thought Repent Longing to Heaven (4)

The days of such struggles have been going on for a long time, and until now, they will still appear, but I have begun to perceive them more acutely than before, but it has also made me very exhausting in my heart. When I tried my best to resist, but I still knew the suffering and felt helpless, the Lord said to me through the small voice of the Holy Spirit:

“My blood is sufficient for you, for my strength is made perfect in weakness.”

At that time, I did not understand how the blood of the Lord Jesus helped me? Why is it enough for me? One day, when I knelt down to read the Bible, and those negative thoughts were rampant again, I remembered what the Lord said to me, and for some reason, I said helplessly to the Lord in my heart: “Lord, please cover my sins with Your precious blood!” At that moment, the feeling was as if someone poured cold water into a red-hot frying pan, the fiery and restless soul was quickly cooled down by the cold water at that moment. I can’t even remember the reason. Gradually, before I read the Bible every day, I would pray first, asking the Lord’s precious blood to cover my sins, and praying that when I read the Bible and pray, I would be free from the sinful thoughts in my heart from the source, all kinds of negative thoughts or self-righteous thoughts are drawn, so that my mind will not turns away from the Lord Jesus. Then I slowly discovered that every time I asked the Lord’s precious blood to cover my sins, there was an instant vibration in my heart, like cold water pouring down a hot frying pan. The moment I discovered it, I felt why it was the same every time, am I so bad? Do I accept sin every day? But the source of the irritability in my heart was quiet, and I saw a bright turning point!

Then, one day, when I read 1 John 5:5-8:

“Who is the one who overcomes the world, but the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?
This is the One who came by water and blood, Jesus Christ; not with the water only, but with the water and with the blood. It is the Spirit who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth.
For there are three that testify:
the Spirit and the water and the blood; and the three are in agreement.“

The words that the Holy Spirit said to me and the scene of my heart being shaken every day when I was covered by the precious blood of the Lord appeared in my heart, and I had mixed feelings. Whether or not I thought that the blood of the Lord mentioned in these verses of the Bible was only a one-time occurrence of the Lord? Jesus poured out on the cross, when we are in trouble, we do not even need to ask, the blood of Jesus have washed all believers from the sin of rebellion before, now and in the future? I start to have reservations on this statement. Then, one day, when I read Revelation 12:10-11, it says:

“Then I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying,
“Now the salvation, and the power, and the kingdom of our God and the authority of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brothers and sisters has been thrown down, the one who accuses them before our God day and night.
And they overcame him because of the blood of the Lamb and because of the word of their testimony, and they did not love their life even when faced with death.”

The spirit in my heart was moved, as if my eyes became clear, I saw that I was able to overcome the negative emotions in my heart came from nowhere because of the precious blood of the Lord and my testimony to witness that Jesus Christ is the Son of the Living God. I thank my Lord from the bottom of my heart, even if I am not perfect, but a Christian ruled by half the flesh and half the Holy Spirit, this has become my proof as a child of God, and I will be able to see the Lord’s face without fear after death. Good assurance, because the blood of the Lord, flowing in my heart and soul, is covering my self-seeking and self-righteous nature. In the last few years and in the future of my life, even if I stumble and fall, or I suddenly follow my fleshly desires and become hypocrites, as long as I kneel down to meet the Lord, He will let me see it in my heart, and I will ask him to forgive me and He will. The status of that honorable child of God is also a status that I do not deserve, because the precious blood of the Lord covers my uptight attitude and self-righteousness nature before His throne every day. I thank my Lord Jesus, who will come to find me in the vast sea of people, give His children the Holy Spirit, and cover all of His children with His precious blood! In this crooked world, glory to my Lord Jesus, until the end of the world, I will see His face again!

Brothers and sisters in the Lord, if one day you find that you have some negative or proud thoughts in your heart that you can’t accept that you have, or you often doze off and drop your eyelids when reading God’s words, or often cannot concentrate on reading the Bible and being attracted by the distracting thoughts that appeared in your mind. You must know the Lord Jesus is alive. If not, how can He remind me when I curse others? Nor will He remind me when I am at a loss that His precious blood is enough for me? If the Holy Spirit reminds you of my testimony when you are cornered, if you believe that the precious blood of the Son of God can help you, may you also experience the blood of the Lord covering you and covering the self-righteous-sinful source. May the Lord who protecting me from being destroyed by stumbling of my flesh will also keep your heart and mind until the day we meet Him again!

Previous: The Lord’s Anointing is in My Heart – One Thought Repent Longing to Heaven(4)

The Lord’s Anointing is in My Heart – One Thought Repent Longing to Heaven(4)

My son, 1 John 2:27 records:

“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.”

This is very believable! After I repented, God, through the Holy Spirit, helped me to be reborn, to find the experience of overcoming sin, and write it down briefly in this article. You shall remember and praise the God who created the heaven and earth and all things, and spread it from generation to generation. Trust in Him, and believe in all that He has to say to you. Also, some friends have asked me why I shared with other people about my personal experience of salvation, why you always say that the Holy Spirit speaks to you, do you know that not every Christian also hears the Holy Spirit speak to them. Doing this will cause anxiety and panic, make many Christians doubt themselves, and make them have no confidence to go on. What is your purpose in doing this? I will give those friends my reply after I have told my rebirth experience.

This rebirth experience will be divided into four small chapters, the first chapter is called “The Lord’s Anointing in My Heart”, the second chapter is called “The Precious Blood of Jesus is covering me”, and the third chapter is called “By The Name of my Lord Jesus”, and the fourth chapter is called “All are children of God”.

My two most important repentances in my life and the testimony of being forgiven by God are recorded in “One Thought Repent Longing To Heave (2) “, followed by “Do I have to seek your advice first?“, those two experiences let me personally experience the truth of confession, repentance and salvation. It also made me kneel before God with sincerity to pray and read the Bible every day. I just read the Bible every day without studying them. What I wanted most at that time was to read what God left for us through the Holy Spirit. I want to know what kind of creator God, who loves me and forgives my sins, is. Sometimes, I will see the scenes told in the Bible in my heart, like a bystander watching everything go by, sometimes I will feel happy because of the presence of God, and sometimes I will cry when I feel sad , sometimes afraid of the scriptures I read. Sometimes I asked God because I didn’t understand the Scriptures I were reading. God will respond to me in various ways through the Holy Spirit who dwells in me. And the Holy Spirit’s response to me in person was really the lamp before my feet and the light on the road. When I didn’t know how to face some difficulties, it also illuminated my heart and let me know how to face it.

After repenting, one Sunday, when I was worshiping, I remembered that I had been a Christian for 30 years, and I had not been sharing the Gospel with others well. I felt sorry for the Lord in my heart. But a majestic voice appeared in my heart, telling me to focus on worshipping Him, so I stopped tangling with the guilt and focused on singing and worshipping God. When I sing a hymn, the content is to worship God with heart and sincerity, and let the true God who created the heavens, the earth and all things be glorified. Then the voice of the Holy Spirit in my heart reappeared, saying, “If you resist the thoughts of the evil one in your heart, I will be glorified.” I will not know that God will be glorified by resisting all kinds of thoughts from the evil in my heart. But if God’s Spirit does not move the world, how can we know that what we think, say, and do is not pleasing to Him?

After that, I was driving a car once, on the highway, in the traffic lane beside me, and suddenly a car drove past me at super high speed, and then I thought to myself, “Why is the driver driving so fast? to reincarnate?” At that moment, a tiny voice appeared in my heart:

“for you know that even you have cursed others many times as well.”

It was Ecclesiastes 7:22, and I could only smile bitterly, thinking to myself, “Lord, there are so many verses in the Bible, why do you use this verse?” After that, I didn’t dare to curse others drove fast to get reincarnated, afraid that the Holy Spirit would say what kind of words to me.

Another time, when I read 1 Timothy 5:13-14:

“At the same time they also learn to be idle, as they go around from house to house; and not merely idle, but also they become gossips and busybodies, talking about things not proper to mention.
Therefore, I want younger widows to get married, have children, manage their households, and give the enemy no opportunity for reproach;”

I thought to myself, I am not a young widow, and this verse should have nothing to do with me, and then a small voice sounded in my heart:

“The church is my bride, and if the bride does not listen to the bridegroom, treat the bridegroom as dead, she is a widow. “

I thought about it at that time, and felt that what the Holy Spirit said to me was right, and I remembered in my heart, don’t gossip, don’t be nosy, and say things that shouldn’t be said. My son, God is always able to say things through the Holy Spirit that strike me as unbelievable. But after I am willing to believe in Him and accept it with sincerity, I will feel that everything is logical and in line with the records in the Bible. The words of the omnipotent, righteous and loving God, who created the heavens and the earth and all things, make me fear Him.

Although the words from the Holy Spirit could not make the dark and negative thoughts in my heart disappear completely, they would still emerge, but I felt that I had begun to have the right to choose. Later, when I read Isaiah 7:14-15 one day, it says:

“Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, the virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and she will name Him Immanuel.
He will eat curds and honey at the time He knows enough to refuse evil and choose good.
For before the boy knows enough to refuse evil and choose good,…”

Suddenly, I realized that our Lord Jesus, who came to earth, was trapped in the flesh just like our worldly dispositions. He had to learn to refuse evil and choose good, didn’t listen to the evil desires that come from the flesh in His human body. Just because He is not self-righteous, has not sinned, and violated the will of the Heavenly Father, so He can become a turning point in our world and overcome negative thoughts. Son, we are different in the world. Among us, it is because of love, not because we think we are good people. It is also because of confession and repentance, forgiveness by the Creator, and personal experience of the love from the Lord Jesus who gave up His life and never left, so we must choose. Although I have the right to choose, I am troubled by the constant choice every day. “Don’t I live in the Lord? Will I no longer be condemned? I have been reborn, so why are there still dark, deceitful and negative thoughts in my heart? Is this just an illusion? Will I return to my original shape and be bound by sin again?” Doubt often arises in my mind. One day, that small but majestic voice reappeared in my heart, saying:

“Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many enter in;”

Since God said this to me through the Holy Spirit, I believe in Him, and I do it every day. I learn not to follow the negative thoughts in my heart, and I don’t care why my heart is so bad. I just resist those thought which I don’t know where they come from day after day. Sometimes I won the battle, sometimes I was defeated. When the Lord opened my heart and let me know that I had sinned against Him, I asked the Lord to forgive and had mercy on me. I wondered when the days of such struggles would end? Later, after I read James 4:7 and 1 Peter 5:8-10:

“Submit therefore to God. But resist the devil, and he will flee from you.”

“Be of sober spirit, be on the alert. Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.
So resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same experiences of suffering are being accomplished by your brothers and sisters who are in the world.
After you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace, who called you to His eternal glory in Christ, will Himself perfect, confirm, strengthen, and establish you.”

When my own doubts often appear in my heart, I know that the Holy Spirit is responding and encouraging me. Since God has promised to resist the negative evil thoughts of the devil (refuse evil and choose good), the devil will leave us. Since all the brothers in the world have also experienced such hardships, some people may find it easy to refuse, while others may find it a little more difficult, so what? Most importantly, these afflictions are temporary, and what God, by the Holy Spirit, spoke to the apostles James and Paul, is very precious, because one day those temptations and afflictions that arise in the soul will be due to the word of God He who promises and leaves me, this is the light on my way.
