The 5 Rs

 

Psalm 84:10-12

King James Version

10 For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. 

I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, 

than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.

The HOLY SPIRIT led me to that lovely verse the other day.

And I kept turning it over in my heart, thrilling at the idea of being "doorkeeper", if GOD would have me.

That brought up childlike images of being "doorkeeper", even as JESUS is the "door":

John 10:9

King James Version

9 I am the door: 

by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, 

and shall go in and out, and find pasture.

Wouldn't you want to be a "doorkeeper" to the LORD's house, as usher, even sentinel, too?

What an honor it would be to be one!

In these last days, it is a great task to be doorkeeper, to usher in people to GOD's house, and to praise Him in His courts.

This, as we share the gospel of repentance, renewal, reconciliation, and Revelation.

Time is running short; the Rapture hovers.

It is the next period of events in GOD's timeline.

He will have His church -- His faithful -- meet Him up in the clouds on that fateful day.

1 Thessalonians 4:16-17

King James Version

16 For the Lord himself 

shall descend from heaven 

with a shout, 

with the voice of the archangel, 

and with the trump of God: 

and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

17 Then we which are alive and remain 

shall be caught up together with them 

in the clouds, 

to meet the Lord in the air: 

and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

Listen to what JESUS says about that all-important, all-defining day:

Mark 13:32-37

King James Version

32 But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, 

no, not the angels which are in heaven, 

neither the Son, but the Father.

33 Take ye heed, watch and pray: 

for ye know not when the time is.

34 For the Son of Man is as a man 

taking a far journey, who left his house, 

and gave authority to his servants, 

and to every man his work, 

and commanded the porter to watch.

35 Watch ye therefore: 

for ye know not 

when the master of the house cometh, 

at even, or at midnight, 

or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning:

36 Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping.

37 And what I say unto you I say unto all, 

Watch.

As born again watchman, we've been writing about the TRIUNE GOD, and Scripture, since GOD first made us born again in 2019.

SPIRIT inspired us to write 113 blogs in doing so.

We've been watching, and writing, about every aspect where CHRIST's enemy can attack us, and has already attacked us.

Through those blogs, we've welcomed, warned, wakened up people who care to listen.

And even if they didn't, we shared the gospel anyway.

It's really all about the 5 Rs:

Repentance, 

renewal, 

reconciliation,

the Rapture, and

CHRIST's Revelation.

And it's not my word.

SPIRIT guided me to it today.

It's GOD's sacred WORD.

It's what the Bible is.

A turning back to GOD.

It's what JESUS, and the prophets, taught.

It's what the angels follow, and present to us.

It has always been about GOD's will, and never anyone else's.

It's about being new people, in CHRIST, by being born again.

And it's all encapsulated in GOD's WORD.

His WORD is all that will remain.

It's Who JESUS Is:

The ONLY THING that will REMAIN

The ONLY THING you can TRUST

JESUS on the WORD of GOD

NONNEGOTIABLE gospel

JESUS the WORD

Colossians 2:9

King James Version

9 For in him dwelleth 

all the fulness of the Godhead 

bodily.

We can't say we had not been warned, or been prepared.

JESUS came to do so.

Mark 1:15

King James Version

15 And saying, 

The time is fulfilled, 

and the kingdom of God is at hand: 

repent ye, 

and believe the gospel.

Romans 8:1

King James Version

8 There is therefore now no condemnation 

to them which are in Christ Jesus, 

who walk not after the flesh, 

but after the Spirit.

1 John 1:9

King James Version

9 If we confess our sins, 

he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, 

and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

SPIRIT's URGENT MESSAGE

  John 16:13

King James Version

13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, 

he will guide you into all truth: 

for he shall not speak of himself; 

but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: 

and he will shew you things to come.

It happened again.

The HOLY SPIRIT gave instructions again.

This time, not just for one person, but for ALL of us.

He delivered the message in the non-stop way He does.

Like in few months past.

Wherein I was just about to sleep, and He made me get up.

He gave me phrases for someone I had alerted regarding his work.

Telling him that he was serving spoiled, rich people.

Even as he was born again.

I felt the two were incongruous.

Apparently, SPIRIT was in agreement.

For He gave me "key" phrases several nights later.

It started with one phrase.

This, I wrote down, as I always do, when SPIRIT "speaks".

Thinking that was it, I went back to bed.

Boy, was I ever wrong!

He gave another set, then nothing was forthcoming.

Soon as I went back to bed, He gave another.

We repeated the same cycle several times.

It became too urgent, and yet funny, that I just decided to stay up until no more "instructions" came.

That night, I ended up getting just three hours sleep.

For the matter was truly urgent.

So urgent, I urged my friend to meet up the following day.

SPIRIT's alerts were written on the first piece of paper I could find.

So, it was mostly "scrawls".

Almost non-legible for I had to write it down fast.

One warning was about not going to a certain restaurant.

Which SPIRIT considered a "den of demons".

I delivered the "messages", he listened with attention.

But I have no idea if he acted on it.

The choice is always his.

Well, a curious thing happened to my friend.

Which I shall talk about more in another post.

Or maybe not; I don't know yet.

I knew then that I was right.

And not "projecting" self.

SPIRIT was truly working "through" me.

I was not imagining things.

I have been born again over five years* now.

When SPIRIT talks, I listen.

I drop everything, and rush for a pen and pad.

Now, I have TONS of notes all over the place.

These have become guides for my articles.

And we happen to have 108 blogs, and 24 ebooks now.

MOSTLY on SPIRITUAL warfare.

You can imagine the VOLUME of prompts, commands, alerts, and instructions given.

Which we share with the world almost daily.

When SPIRIT works through you, your whole mind, body, and spirit are alert, active, and alive.

Every cell trembling, feeling the power of His WORD.

Almost like a fever running through you.

And you become eager to write down EVERYTHING given.

Making sure you don't miss a thing.

Writing as fast as you can keep up.

JUST as it is given, with no deviation, or alteration.

GOD knows I've set aside self for the LORD alone.

I want my mind pure, and clear, free of my own garbage.

Because I want to get His "messages" perfectly.

Unimpeded by self.

Self must not be there when GOD is present.

We are on HOLY ground.

Exodus 3:4-5

King James Version

4 And when the Lord saw that he turned aside to see, 

God called unto him out of the midst of the bush, 

and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I.

5 And he said, 

Draw not nigh hither: 

put off thy shoes from off thy feet, 

for the place whereon thou standest 

is holy ground.

Well, folks, it happened again yesterday.

I was just done with breakfast when the "urge" to take down notes came.

It became a rapid-fire series of statements, and commands.

This time, it was not just one sheet of tiny paper.

It became SEVEN!

Comprising one-and-a-half bond paper total.

Because I always recycle backs of grocery receipts.

And here's what SPIRIT made me write down for ALL of us:

We are in the end times.

Only one question matters:

Do you want to be a 

SOLDIER of CHRIST

or

a soldier of Satan?

It's all positioning now.

Take your stand.

The real battle is about to begin.

There is no turning back now.

Expect a series of battles.

The victor will always be CHRIST.

Don't say SPIRIT didn't warn you.

Man is no match for SPIRIT.

Man is fighting the wrong battle.

Drop all your weapons.

Prepare for the COMING of CHRIST.

All your little concerns are nothing when JESUS comes for His faithful.

All your seeming big concerns are as nothing to JESUS.

Prepare for His COMING!

The just will finally be free!

The righteous will finally be with JESUS.

The born again will finally be proven right.

We are in the most exciting battle ever.

Make your stand now!

FOR or AGAINST CHRIST?

You want to be on the winning side?

-- TURN to CHRIST now.

-- GET RID of your "toys".

The battle is really so simple.

CHOOSE your side:

FOR or AGAINST CHRIST?

*CURIOUS thing:

As I checked that article quoting "over five years" now as born again above, the words I had written on the bottom of that article was:

"Christ's time has come."

Well, it is here, now.

The very reason the URGENCY of SPIRIT's message above.

GOD's WILL be done!

CURIOUS critical times

 Ecclesiastes 3:10-11

King James Version

10 I have seen the travail, 

which God hath given to the sons of men 

to be exercised in it.

11 He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: 

also he hath set the world in their heart, 

so that no man can find out the work 

that God maketh from the beginning 

to the end.

Many pastors say we live in the most exciting times.

Even as these times are filled with chaos, strife, and suffering.

The pieces are falling into place, according to GOD's plan.

We are in the most curious, exciting, and critical of times.

With many people still "asleep", and indifferent.

Many still proud, and belligerent.

But many are "waking up", too!

We must be aware of these very telling times.

Wherein, at any moment, GOD can stop all that bickering.

He can stop all the filth, foolishness, fracture, and fornication.

All in one MASTER stroke -- through the RAPTURE:

Matthew 24:39-42

King James Version

39 And knew not until the flood came, 

and took them all away; 

so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

40 Then shall two be in the field; 

the one shall be taken, and the other left.

41 Two women shall be grinding at the mill; 

the one shall be taken, and the other left.

42 Watch therefore: 

for ye know not what hour 

your Lord doth come.

Luke 21:28

King James Version

28 And when these things begin to come to pass, 

then look up, and lift up your heads; 

for your redemption draweth nigh.

1 Thessalonians 4:16-17

King James Version

16 For the Lord himself 

shall descend from heaven 

with a shout, 

with the voice of the archangel, 

and with the trump of God: 

and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

17 Then we which are alive and remain 

shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, 

to meet the Lord in the air: 

and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

It's not a time to fear.

It's a time to turn to the LORD.

To keep your faith, and wait upon the LORD.

To live as a true born again.

To share the gospel of JESUS CHRIST.

To love GOD, with all your heart.

To believe in His Son, JESUS.

To become aware and repent of our sins.

To believe that only GOD has power over EVERYTHING.

To know that without JESUS, we cannot do anything.

To be of GOD, and not of the world.

That is the preparation we speak of.

Holiness, through CHRIST JESUS.

Our only LORD, LOVE, and SAVIOR.

What is CONVERSION?

JESUS said:

John 4:14

King James Version

14 But whosoever drinketh of the water 

that I shall give him shall never thirst; 

but the water that I shall give him 

shall be in him a well of water 

springing up into everlasting life.

What is conversion?

What are you converted from?

What are you converted to?

Is it necessary to change?

What happens when you don't?

What does the Bible say?

I especially like this Merriam-Webster definition of "conversion":

5 : something converted from one use to another

That's exactly what I thought of conversion, too.

Something like "repurposed".

Which Merriam-Webster defines as:

given a new purpose or use to

Christian Answers defines "conversion" as:

"the turning of a sinner to God"

JESUS defines "conversion" this way:

Matthew 18:3

King James Version

3 And said, 

Verily I say unto you, 

Except ye be converted, 

and become as little children, 

ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.

John 3:3-7

King James Version

3 Jesus answered and said unto him, 

Verily, verily, I say unto thee, 

Except a man be born again, 

he cannot see the kingdom of God.

4 Nicodemus saith unto him, 

How can a man be born when he is old? 

can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, 

and be born?

5 Jesus answered, 

Verily, verily, I say unto thee, 

Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, 

he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; 

and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, 

Ye must be born again.

The following verses tell us more.

On what conversion is really all about:

2 Corinthians 5:17

King James Version

17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, 

he is a new creature: 

old things are passed away; 

behold, all things are become new.

Ephesians 2:13

King James Version

13 But now in Christ Jesus 

ye who sometimes were far off 

are made nigh by the blood of Christ.

Ephesians 2:19

King James Version

19 Now therefore 

ye are no more strangers and foreigners, 

but fellowcitizens with the saints, 

and of the household of God;

Ephesians 4:22-24

King James Version

22 That ye put off 

concerning the former conversation the old man, 

which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;

23 And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;

24 And that ye put on the new man, 

which after God is created 

in righteousness and true holiness.

2 Timothy 2:20-21

King James Version

20 But in a great house 

there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, 

but also of wood and of earth; 

and some to honour, and some to dishonour.

21 If a man therefore purge himself from these, 

he shall be a vessel unto honour, 

sanctified, 

and meet for the master's use, 

and prepared unto every good work.

That's why we need to be born again.

For these very reasons:

Psalm 37:20

King James Version

20 But the wicked shall perish, 

and the enemies of the Lord 

shall be as the fat of lambs: 

they shall consume; 

into smoke shall they consume away.

Mark 1:15

King James Version

15 And saying, 

The time is fulfilled, 

and the kingdom of God is at hand: 

repent ye, 

and believe the gospel.

John 8:24

King James Version

24 I said therefore unto you, 

that ye shall die in your sins: 

for if ye believe not that I am he, 

ye shall die in your sins.

Acts 2:38

King James Version

38 Then Peter said unto them, 

Repent, 

and be baptized every one of you 

in the name of Jesus Christ 

for the remission of sins, 

and ye shall receive 

the gift of the Holy Ghost.

Acts 3:19

King James Version

19 Repent ye therefore, 

and be converted, 

that your sins may be blotted out, 

when the times of refreshing shall come 

from the presence of the Lord.

Romans 6:23

King James Version

23 For the wages of sin is death; 

but the gift of God is eternal life 

through Jesus Christ our Lord.

1 Corinthians 6:9-10

King James Version

9 Know ye not that the unrighteous 

shall not inherit the kingdom of God? 

Be not deceived: 

neither fornicators, nor idolaters, 

nor adulterers, nor effeminate, 

nor abusers of themselves with mankind,

10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, 

nor revilers, nor extortioners, 

shall inherit the kingdom of God.

1 Corinthians 15:34

King James Version

34 Awake to righteousness, and sin not; 

for some have not the knowledge of God: 

I speak this to your shame.

1 Corinthians 15:50

King James Version

50 Now this I say, brethren, 

that flesh and blood cannot inherit 

the kingdom of God; 

neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.

1 Corinthians 15:52-53

King James Version

52 In a moment, 

in the twinkling of an eye, 

at the last trump: 

for the trumpet shall sound, 

and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, 

and we shall be changed.

53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, 

and this mortal must put on immortality.

Galatians 5:19-21

King James Version

19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, 

which are these; 

Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,

20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, 

emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,

21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, 

revellings, and such like: 

of the which I tell you before, 

as I have also told you in time past, 

that they which do such things 

shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

James 1:21

King James Version

21 Wherefore lay apart 

all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, 

and receive with meekness the engrafted word, 

which is able to save your souls.

It's all preparation now.

The Rapture can occur any moment GOD chooses.

Time for conversion.

Time to be born again.

Time to repent.

Time to believe the gospel.

Turn to JESUS now!

Romans 10:13

King James Version

13 For whosoever shall call 

upon the name of the Lord 

shall be saved.

GOD's specific INSTRUCTIONS

 

Deuteronomy 4:2

King James Version

2 Ye shall not add unto the word 

which I command you, 

neither shall ye diminish ought from it, 

that ye may keep the commandments 

of the Lord your God 

which I command you.

Yes, there is GREAT urgency these days.

We have no idea when JESUS will come to "collect" His faithful.

The Rapture can happen any moment of GOD's choosing.

Any time He wakes me up, I write, through SPIRIT's guidance.

Any time He calls my attention to a word, or verse, I study it.

Any time I have a question, I pray to JESUS, for clarification.

Before GOD made me born again, I was all eyes, and ears.

To signs, symbols, and studies, which abound everywhere.

When GOD made me born again, I focus on GOD's commands.

Through JESUS, SPIRIT, and Scripture.

I recall the SPECIFIC times GOD gave instructions:

(More like "alerts", really.)

14 January 2020 -- He alerted me to the Rapture.

29 March 2021 -- He tasked me to "CALL OUT THE ERRORS".

9 February 2022 -- He gave the slogan: "That all men may know the BIBLE, and live by it".

19 March 2024 -- He woke me up early today to write articles on "BROTHERHOOD".

I noticed there's no specific instruction in 2023.

But SPIRIT and I did write TONS of supporting articles.

GOD gives the framework for my work.

All I do is pray, wait, watch, wake up, listen, write, and share.

All is clear.

All is organized.

All is true.

My heart's jumping jelly beans each time SPIRIT gives me a "prompt".

That's what happens when you serve the LORD.

You sit at His feet, listening closely.

Making sure you don't miss a thing.

Making sure you got things right.

Nothing like knowing Who GOD Is.

Someone to love, fear, worship, adore, and obey.

And yes, Someone to laugh with.

Someone Who is probably amused at me.

GOD works with His creation.

You are His creation.

He works with what He put in your heart.

It's meant to serve His purpose, especially if you are His.

All we do, as born again, is to give GLORY to GOD.

Through whatever work He tasked us with.

Well, I belong to the LORD.

I've surrendered my will, to His.

And this is how we work together:

Simply, clearly, decisively, promptly, precisely.

GOD knows I love lists.

He gave me lots of ideas to create lists on.

You won't believe the volume of Scripture notes I have.

GOD knows I love simplicity.

He created an ingenious system for me.

All it takes is ONE word, or "clue" from GOD, and I'm off writing!

GOD knows I love studying.

He gave me TONS to study regarding Scripture.

The Bible is soooo rich in GOD's truth.

GOD knows I love writing.

He gave me TONS to write about.

At the moment, we've got over 100 blogs and 24 ebooks.

GOD knows I love sharing with you.

He gave me a unique way of sharing His WORD with the world.

With no social media, mind you.

It is a delight to be born again.

There is rhyme, reason, and rule to my existence.

All according to GOD's laws, will, and purpose.

There is no time wasted, no word wasted, no energy wasted.

Whether it be from GOD's end, your end, or my end.

I value, and respect, all of us.

That's how it is when you work for GOD.

He's got intelligent use of everything.

He taps the talents He gave you.

Especially if you use it, in His service.

I am only productive, because I believe in JESUS.

John 7:38

King James Version

38 He that believeth on me, 

as the scripture hath said, 

out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.

It's only JESUS who makes me produce anything at all.

John 15:5

King James Version

5 I am the vine, 

ye are the branches: 

He that abideth in me, and I in him, 

the same bringeth forth much fruit: 

for without me ye can do nothing.

The engineers, economists, managers, CEOs, presidents, armies, and scientists of this world will be shamefaced, if they have an inkling of GOD's superior system.

Scripture gives me a healthy inkling.

When I get to heaven, surely GOD will show me more.

For now, I work with what my human vehicle can muster.

Taking great care I am true to GOD's WORD.

With thrilled, childlike delight, of course!

Psalm 1:2

King James Version

2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord; 

and in his law doth he meditate 

day and night.
