Chapter 1: Introduction My Life Story

My life before God I was born in a group of people who were strict in the observance of the law. I was grew up observing strictly the 10 commandments particularly the Sabbath and eating clean foods as written by Moses. My mom and my grandma bring me to church every Sabbath (Saturday) observing a particular program every week and listening to pastors every Sabbath. My grandma would wake me up early in the morning everyday just to sing two or three songs and reading some bible verse and some opinion of the authors of the Bible lesson that were given to us by our church leaders. I remember that I would wake up as part of an obligation and just sing with my lips (not from the heart) those hyms before we read the lessons. I even sometimes slept during the reading of the lessons. For me, it was like a ritual doing it everyday without any improvement in my spiritual life. However, I salute my grandma who were so patient with us. I love my grandma. During my early days, I was introduced to alcohol, drugs and cigarettes. I was introduced to pornography and other stuff. When one of my peers have three girlfriends at one time, I also dreamed that I could surpass his record. Indeed, I have lots of girlfriends and even encouraging others to follow my footsteps. For me at that time, you cannot be considered a real man without several girlfriends, and I am proud about it. I was also indulge to fortune telling, namely numerology, astrology and palmistry. I even indulge to witchcraft and black magic. I was amazed on what it could do because I can know the history of a person and know his or her characteristics or even predict when was the last time he or she fell in love by looking at his or her name. I friend of mine who taught me to do real magic, aside from my magic tricks that I do, that I can make the person think of me and make her eye bags turn to black and would result to her sickness. I know that there is a danger coming because the bottle I carry would turn into hot and when I enter into a store, there was like a magnet that would attract the people to go inside the store. I was even amazed that some pastors and even those who are loyal in going in their church are being affected in my magic. I do all the evil things that are all contrary to the Word of God. Inspite of my evil deeds, I go to church every Sabbath, observe all the religious doctrines of my religion, thinking that it would justify my works. I even love to defend my religion and criticize why you are not observing Sabbath for it is written in the Ten Commandments (most denomination are going to church on Sundays).

Spiritual Hunger When I graduate from law school, after I take the bar exams, it build me my spiritual hunger for in my mind, I need God for me to pass the bar. A friend of mine (he is the one who repairs my gun) invited me to join a cell group. Whenever I have my gun repaired at him, he always share a word of God to me and when I ask if how much would he charge me in repairing my gun he said: hindi na ako gumagawa ng baril, pero dahil kaibigan ko kayo, pinagbibigyan ko kayo, isang oras lang para cellgroup, which means i dont do guns anymore but because you are my friend, I do this specially for you, just give me an hour for a cellgroup. Until one day I eventually give-in in joining a cell. In my first cell meeting, the cell leader discussed the parable of the four kinds of ground, when he asked me if what kind of ground am I, I could not answer for definitely I am not a good ground knowing all the evil stuff I do. Then he told me that you can tell that shes a Noranians or Vilmanians (popular 70s star in the Philippines) because shes like Nora Aunor or Vilma Santos, either you can see Noras picture in her or shes dressing like Nora Aunor but most people who claims to be a Christian are not Christ like, you cannot see Jesus Christ in them. At that very moment, my heart was pierced and received Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior.

My Encounter With God I enjoy my company in the cell for it has a real application in my life and slowly start to grow in the Lord. One day, my cell leader invited me to join a three day Encounter With God retreat at camp Alano. At that time, I was thinking, what would a do with a boring three day retreat? So I pursued my cell mate to join the retreat also. I ask God a sign that I would join the retreat if my friend would join also the retreat. I have convinced my friend to join the retreat so I joined the same. Theres even prevention when I said yes to the retreat, I almost not didnt make it. But God is good He pulled me off to joined that retreat. Before that retreat, there came a Pastor in the prophetic ministry (or a prophet in short) sharing a word of God, when he made an altar call, he just wave his hand and suddenly all the people in front of me fell down and I was shocked, I just made a huge cough and the view was changed and I saw a battlefield that there are two groups of people fighting. I didnt know what was happening back then. One thing that I was amazed by this is that he knows whats in my mind, he just made it as a joke, he even knew my prayer before I went there. Later I realized that it was not him anymore but the Holy Spirit inside of him who speaks. At the retreat, contrary to what I have expected, it was fun and very exciting, it seems like you dont want to stop. In the last day of the retreat, when the topic was Baptism of the Holy Spirit. I hear the roar of the thunder inspite of a clear sky that afternoon and then a huge

wave of wind came from heaven has been poured in our place and I hear my neighbour speaking the Ilocano dialect when in fact he is not an Ilocano, and another neighbour of mine is speaking Japanese when in fact he is not Japanese. I was shocked, I said to myself, is this tongues mentioned in the bible? Is this the same occurrence happened in Acts chapter 2? And suddenly I cannot control my mouth speaking baba or Abba and I was shocked and afraid. Then I saw the devil trying to enter says: what kind of spirit is trying to enter you. Then I got scared and when I got scared, I would say uncontrollably praise the Lord and Hallelujah and then a verse pop up in my mind. No one can say Jesus is Lord except by the Holy Spirit . And I ask myself, if I ask God for a bread, why would He gave me a stone, so if I ask for a Holy Spirit why would He gave me the other one? Then I let go of my fear and let it all go. Then I saw myself hanging on the cross, then I saw Jesus beside me, embracing me and told me: see that is your old self, you are now a new creation, the old has gone and the new has come. And then, I feel the love, mercy and compassion of God, then I got drunk and very high. Its the most beautiful experience Ive ever had. I said to myself, the verse dont get drunk in wine but be filled with the Holy Spirit and a proverb that dont be high on drugs but be high on God is true and not a saying but a real experience. During the testimony part, a police officer gave a testimony on how God changed him, as he was giving his testimony with full of joy as he experienced Gods love for him , but as speak, he uses the word Sus an abbreviation for Jesus and Sus -maryosep or Jesus, Mary and Joseph as an expression. The devil told me, is that full of the Holy Spirit? He is sinning, the bible says thou shall not put the name of the Lord thy God in vein. Then, my mind began to process thinking why is he violating the third commandment, then I inquire the Lord why. The Lord told me: its ok, its ok, it is me talking through him. Then I felt relief that it is not the police officer speak but it is the Holy Spirit inside of him. Later I realized that even if it is a sin but before God, through the Blood of Jesus Christ, it is as if he never sinned that is the greatest Good News for humanity. As I went back home, I hug my wife and feel the love of God in our house and I was so excited to tell my mom what was just happened in the retreat. I tell them that remember what was the founder of our denomination had prophesied about the latter rain in the end times, its not in our group but its outside our church, its in these group.

Reflection I realized that it is not Gods will that I failed last 2008 bar exam, and it never is. Failure is not Gods plan. But He allowed it so that I would wake up from darkness. As written: Those whom I love I rebuke and I discipline (Rev 3; Laodecia). God loves me so much that He wants

to dwell and walk with me that He gave His one and only Son so that I will not perish but have eternal life. I also realized why those numerology was so accurate, it is because its the devils plan in their life were materialized, they are not in Christ. They were Christians by name and not by heart. Same as those magic spell who were affected by it. If you dont have the Fire of God in your heart, youll be affected by it, that is why Jesus taught us to pray: deliver us from the evil ones. If you belong to Christ, your destiny is not with those stuff and you will not be affected with any spell. As written: these are the signs of those who believe, in My Name, you will speak in tongues, drive out demons, not be affected with poison and snake bites, lay hands of the sick people and they shall recover.. If you are in Christ you will not be affected by the things of this world. The Kingdom of God is within you. The first thing I noticed after encountering God is that the Bible speaks, I have read the Bible before and its like a story to me and sometimes even made the Bible as sleeping pill. But after God filled me with His Spirit, it actually speaks, its like a love letter to me by God, I cant even explain it. My changes cannot be attributed to myself but to God. I didnt change myself but God changed me. After I have encountered the Lord, my lust for porno was gone and I deleted them. The taste of the cigarette for me no longer appealing and I quit smoking. I threw all the evil stuff I have and I dont want them anymore and hated them . God changed me from glory to glory to glory and for His glory. After I have encountered the Lord, I experience His great love and mercy, He showed me how powerful He is that compare to those magic that I have before, it has with no value. The ability when I go to store which attracts people, God showed me one time when me and my family ate at Shakeys, less than two minutes later, God filled the place with lots of people that it became full and to my amazement they all ordered not just roaming around. It seems like during Moses, when God made Moses staff snake and those Egyptians showed the same, the snake of Moses ate the snake of the Egyptians. I praised God for His true wonder. This experience of mine is not limited to me, nor to my fellow retreat mate that time or to some people but it is open to everyone. It is not accident that you have read this book. It is a divine appointment. You might be thinking, I wish I could experience what the author had experienced, well you can. God wants you to experience His love, God wants you to dwell in you and walk with you. He gave His one and only Son Jesus Christ to die for your sins and rose up the third day and is now at the right hand of the Father so that you will not go to hell but have everlasting life if you believe in Him. God is inviting you right now to walk with Him, He is inviting you for the party of His Son, He is inviting you to dwell in your heart and eat with you. If you say yes, please pray this prayer with me (not by your lips but from your heart):

Lord Jesus, please come into my life, cleanse me from my sins and made me the way you want me to be. Lord Jesus, please stay in my heart. I will seek You daily God. Please let me find you. Please let me experience what the Prophets, the Apostles, other great man of God and the writer of this book has experienced. I want to know You more Lord Jesus, please let me know You. I have decided Lord, to follow Jesus, no turning back, no turning back. I love you Lord with all of my heart. Amen.

Chapter 2: The Mark of the Beast

One Sunday morning as I listened to the sermon of the father of our senior pastor, as he was speaking about tithes, as he mentioned the scriptures in 2 Timothy 3 which provides in the end of days... people would be lovers of money and one way to break the spirit of mammon or the love of money is to give tithe, then the Holy Spirit told me that lovers of money is the 666 or the Mark of the Beast. I asked God why? I dont understand, What is the relevance between the 666 and the love of money. The Lord told me, Remember the four kinds of ground? I told Him, yes Lord whats with it? The Lord answered, in the four kinds of ground, the first 3 grounds belongs to worldly ground and the last ground is the good ground belongs to the heavenly ground. Still confused, the Lord explained to me, is the love of money belongs to the thorny ground? I said yes Lord. I asked God, Lord why not seven or eight, why six? The Lord answered: For God created the heaven and earth in six days and on the seventh day He rested. Then my eyes were opened and I can see that there are lots of people or even pastors that have this mark without even them knowing. I cried to God mercy for them for they do not know what they are doing.
3:1 But understand this, that in the last days difficult times will come. 3:2 For people will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3:3 unloving, irreconcilable, slanderers, without self-control, savage, opposed to what is good, 3:4 treacherous, reckless, conceited, loving pleasure rather than loving God. 3:5 They will maintain the outward appearance4 of religion but will have repudiated its power. So avoid people like these. (2 Timothy 3:1-5 NET)

Mark 4: 1-20 Parable of the Sower or 4 Kinds of Ground

Again Jesus began to teach by the lake. The crowd that gathered around him was so large that he got into a boat and sat in it out on the lake, while all the people were along the shore at the waters edge. 2 He taught them many things by parables, and in his teaching said: 3 Listen! A farmer went out to sow his seed. 4 As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up. 5 Some fell on rocky places, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly, because the soil was shallow. 6 But when the sun came up, the plants were scorched, and they withered because they had no root. 7 Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the plants, so that they did not bear grain. 8 Still other seed fell on good soil. It came up, grew and produced a crop, some multiplying thirty, some sixty, some a hundred times.
9 1

Then Jesus said, Whoever has ears to hear, let them hear.

When he was alone, the Twelve and the others around him asked him about the parables. 11 He told them, The secret of the 12 kingdom of God has been given to you. But to those on the outside everything is said in parables so that, they may be ever seeing but never perceiving, and ever hearing but never understanding; otherwise they might turn and be forgiven![a] Then Jesus said to them, Dont you understand this parable? How then will you understand any parable? The farmer sows the word. 15 Some people are like seed along the path, where the word is sown. As soon as they hear it, Satan comes and takes
13 14

10

away the word that was sown in them. 16 Others, like seed sown on rocky places, hear the word and at once receive it with joy. 17 But since they have no root, they last only a short time. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, they quickly fall away. 18 Still others, like seed sown among thorns, hear the word; 19 but the worries of this life, the deceitfulness of wealth and the desires for other things come in and choke the word, making it unfruitful. 20 Others, like seed sown on good soil, hear the word, accept it, and produce a crop some thirty, some sixty, some a hundred times what was sown.

Here is the diagram on what God has implanted in my heart: Four Kinds of Ground: 6 hard ground: eg. 2 Timothy 3:5 having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. 6 stony ground: eg. 2 Timothy 3:3 without self control 6 thorny ground: eg. 2 Timothy 3:2-5 lovers of money and lovers of pleasures rather than of God.

Mark of the Beast explained What is the Mark of the Beast? Many people are confused and having their own imagination or interpretation of the mark of the beast, some people accuses the Pope as the mark of the beast, some of them accuses Bill Gates, or some even thinks that the Credit Card is the 666 for you cannot buy or sell if you dont have these mark. But what is a mark? A mark according to dictionary.com also means "distinction or importance; repute; note: a man of mark. What is the beast? A beast according to dictionary.com means "A brutal, contemptible person" What is the mark of the beast? This calls for wisdom: let the one who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man, and his number is 666. Revelation 13:15-16 those who would not worship the image of the beast to be slain, Also it causes all, both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave, to be marked on the right hand or the forehead, In short, people would be forced to worship the image of the beast or if not you will die. It was also written that you cannot buy nor even sell if you dont have such mark. What is that image to be worshipped?

Let us go and serve other gods, which you have not known, Deutoromy 13:13 And what is that gods? No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money. Matt. 6:24 People nowadays are so busy for their work and dont have time with God, though they remember God only on Sundays or Saturdays (if Sabbath keeper) but through the rest of the week, they forget to spend time with God and do all the sinning and do what they want. If you invite them for a prayer they would say to you I have my own religion but its only an alibi to worship God for they worship their job and money. They have somewhat like form of godliness (which is their religion) but they deny the power of God (which is to transform lives). Come to think of it, if you dont have money or job, how can you buy or sell? Isnt this in coherence in the scripture that those who does not have this mark cannot buy or sell? Money is not bad so as job, but if your job prevents you to serve God then quit to your job and find another job. Some people even exalts the doctrine of their religion more than Jesus. If you share the Word of God to them, they will debate you and will be delighted of you lose your argument. They would ask you: what day are you going to church? or what is the name of our God? or even tried to argue that Jesus is not God which are truly contrary to the bible and the antichrist. We all know that God is a jealous God (Exodus 20:5) and shall visit the iniquities of the fathers on the children onto the third or fourth generations. But He is also a loving God for God is love (1 John 4:8), and He even given us His begotten Son to us for our salvation. (John 3:16). As I read in Revelation 13 regarding the mark of the beast, it says: 13:18 This calls for wisdom:53 Let the one who has insight calculate the beasts number, for it is mans number,54 and his number is 666.55 The Mark of the Beast is a mans number and it is not an accident that God created man on the 6th day. In short, it is mans personality, it is a manifestation of the flesh. The scriptures says that the Spirit and the flesh are contrary to each other that is why Pa ul says: I have been crucified with Christ and no longer live but Christ lives in me. Flesh is the worst part of us. It is where sin takes advantage. It is our weakness, that why Jesus said: The Spirit is willing but the body is weak. We need to get rid of our flesh and crucified it on the cross. Jesus said: If anyone wants to follow Me, he must deny himself before men, carry his cross and follow Me. In short, follow Jesus on the cross and die to oneself. Psalms 49:20 (NIV)
20 52

People who have wealth but lack understanding are like the beasts that perish.

If you feel that your flesh is manifesting and if you know that you are not a good ground, perhaps you have the mark of the beast the fleshy number or the mans number. But heres the good news: Jesus Christ died on the cross, shed His blood for you, rose up the third day and is now in the right hand of the Father to erase any mark that is not heavenly mark that is in us, all we need to do is to believe in Him and made Him as Lord in our hearts, we need to dethrone ourselves in ourself so that Jesus Christ will be Lord over us. We need to turn over the Lordship to Jesus Christ. If you say yes to this call, please pray this prayer with me:

Lord Jesus, I dethrone myself as the Lord over my life. I give you the Lordship of myself to You Lord Jesus. Please take full control over my life Lord. Remove every mark that is not from You in my life and put Your Holy Spirit inside of me and put Your laws into my heart. By Your blood, I am clean. I love You Lord. Amen.

Chapter 3: The Biblical Antichrist

Many people have their own definition of the antichrist. Some people say that it is the same with the Mark of the Beast, some says that it is the pope, some even says that it is Bill Gates, some says that it is Obama or other president (I dont know if Obama or Bill Gates says Jesus is not Christ) but let us look at the definition of the Bible of the antichrist. 1. Denying that Jesus is the Christ 22 Who is the liar? It is whoever denies that Jesus is the Christ. Such a person is the antichristdenying the Father and the Son. 23 No one who denies the Son has the Father; whoever acknowledges the Son has the Father also. 1 John 2:22-23

There is some denomination that teaches that Jesus is not the Christ but a mere man. They are antichrist. Christ means the Messiah or the Anointed One. This is what the Lord describe Him in Jeremiah 3:15 15 Then I will give you shepherds after my own heart, who will lead you with knowledge and understanding. In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: 6 Who, being in very nature[a] God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; 7 rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature [b] of a servant, being made in human likeness. Philippians 2:5-7 Jesus Christ is God but He did not consider himself as equal with God that is something to be used as His own. He is what Jeremiah describes as shepherd after Gods own heart. And David calls the Messiah as His Lord. Any person who denies that Jesus is the Christ is an antichrist. If anyone would tell you that Jesus is a mere man not the Christ is the antichrist. He is not a Christian.
5

2. Denying that Jesus had come in the flesh and Jesus is not from God Dear friends, 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. 2 This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, 3 but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world. 1 John 4:1-3
1

3. Does not acknowledge that Jesus is coming in the flesh I say this because many deceivers, who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh, have gone out into the world. Any such person is the deceiver and the antichrist. 2 John 1:7 The bible clearly states that Jesus Christ is coming in the flesh. I have heard that there are few groups of people love to argue that Jesus Christ is not coming in the flesh. They are antichrist. Antichrist is a spirit and they have so many victims. There are also groups that claims that Jesus is the Father and they are now the son, they too is the antichrist, do not believe them. We must keep our watch. We need to pray also those who are victims of these and ask God to wake them up. If you feel that you are a victim of this mindset, please pray this prayer with me.
7

Father, forgive me Lord for denying Your Son Jesus Christ. I repent Lord from all my sins. I ask for Your great mercy and grace. Father, I acknowledge that Jesus is the Christ, the only Son of the living God. He is my Lord, He is my only Saviour. Father, let the blood of Jesus purify my mind and renew my mind. Thank You Father. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.

Chapter 4: False Prophets in the end of days

How to discern false prophets? In the end of days: For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and miracles to deceive even the electif that were possible. Matthew 24:24 Here is a warning from Jesus that in the end of days many false Christ and false prophets will appear and we are now in the end of days were even the false prophets would even claim these verse and would point out that the true prophet were the false prophet and yet they are correct one. Characteristics of a false prophet: I.
16

False prophets gives you false assurance:

This is what the LORD of Heavens Armies says to his people: Do not listen to these prophets when they prophesy to you, filling you with futile hopes. They are making up everything they say. They do not speak for the LORD! Jeremiah 23:16 False prophets gives you false assurance and false hope. They would tell you that God will bless you, God will prosper you, God will protect you even if you keep sinning. Of course God will bless you but not if you are living in sin. The love of God is unconditional but His blessings and promises are conditional. He loves all sinners (we are all sinners) but He hates the sin. God never condemns a sinner but if you turn to Him (like in the story of prodigal son). But all the blessings and promises in the Bible are conditional seek ye first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you, if you obey my commands .... you are the head and not the tail. But these false prophets would tell you that God will bless you even if you do robbery, even if you do corruption, even if you gamble, even if you do drugs, Etc... II. False prophets have never been in the presence of God: Have any of these prophets been in the L ORDs presence to hear what he is really saying? Has even one of them cared enough to listen? Jeremiah 23:18 False prophets never spend time with God. They just love to prophecy without being in the presence of God, without even being listening to Gods direction, and having a prayer of daily ritual out of religious obligation in their religion (like the Pharisees in the times of Jesus). In short, they pray out of obligation not seeking the

Kingdom of God. They even never tasted what the presence of God feels and taste like, and yet they have the nerve to prophecy out of their own imagination. One thing that I have observed, they would usually tell those little children that they should be quiet for we are in the presence of God when in fact if you try to feel the presence, theres no presence of God at all. In fact the Bible tells us that let us not prevent the coming of those little children to God and it is also written that if we let these people quiet the stones will shout. III. False prophets prophecy out of their interpretation: I have heard these prophets say, Listen to the dream I had from God last night. And then they proceed to tell lies in my name. Jeremiah 23:25 These false prophets love to interpret on their own without seeking Gods direction or Gods wisdom worst is: they use the name of God. You can see these modern false prophets have their own interpretation of the bible telling that they are the true ones without having listening from God. They also love to criticize the true prophets and calls them false prophets and persecute them just like they do to Jeremiah, and other prophets, and even do the same to Jesus. Sometimes they would tell people that prophets are not applicable in the New Testament when in fact if you read the New Testament there are lots of prophets in the New Testament one of it named Agabus and Anna (Acts 11:27; Acts 13:1; Luke 2:36), they have an implied admission that they are not the true ones. They prophecy in the name of Baal, in these modern times, they prophecy in the name of their religion. IV. False prophets prophecy is to draw people to promises not on God By telling these false dreams, they are trying to get my people to forget me, just as their ancestors did by worshiping the idols of Baal. Jeremiah 23:25 False prophets focus on the promises- they just make God a fortune cookie, not as Lord. False prophets prophecies so that you will focus your attention to the prophecy not on God. They will have you focused on their religious doctrine not on God just like in the times of Jeremiah, false prophets are telling that Jerusalem is indestructible for God is there where in fact they keep on sinning, just like these modern false prophets its ok, this religion is Gods instrument, others are not, we are the true religion for we keep our own religious doctrine we have sabbath (but dont have Jesus the owner of the Sabbath), we dress formally on church (they focus on the dress not on Jesus, just like the Pharisees on the past wearing the nicest dress in the synagogue) and other religious doctrines that they have. And when they
25

see miracles in the other group they would say that power is from Beelzebub just like the Pharisees in the times of Jesus. V. False prophets have their own religious lingo If any prophet, priest, or anyone else says, I have a prophecy from the L ORD, I will punish that person along with his entire family. 35 You should keep asking each other, What is the LORDs answer? or What is the LORD saying? 36 But stop using this phrase, prophecy from the LORD. For people are using it to give authority to their own ideas, turning upside down the words of our God, the living God, the L ORD of Heavens Armies. Jeremiah 23: 34-36 False prophets love to use certain religious words just like in the times of Jeremiah, they love to use the word prophecy from the Lord to made up their own ideas turning down the words of God. These modern false prophets have their religious words of favourites: they would say: what is the name of our God? or what day are you going to church?or why do you observe Christmas and not observe New Moon or other Israels celebration? or say is Jesus a man not God which is contrary to the bible and the antichrist. False prophets focus on the works not on the faith. VI. False prophets focus on religious food and drinks For the Kingdom of God is not a matter of what we eat or drink, but of living a life of goodness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. Romans 4:17 These false prophet focuses on religious food and drinks, they would say why are you eating such unclean foods? Just like the Pharisees during the times of Jesus, they even criticize that the disciples of Jesus were eating foods with their hands unclean. Instead of focusing on the Gospel and the fruit of the Holy Spirit which is goodness, peace and joy.
34

Characteristics of the true prophet: I. True prophet carries the word of God: The ancient prophets who preceded you and me spoke against many nations, always warning of war, disaster, and disease. So a prophet who predicts peace must show

he is right. Only when his predictions come true can we know that he is really from the LORD Jeremiah 28:8-9 True prophet carries the true word of God for the word of God literally burns with fire in the prophets heart. It should be in the bible, in coherence in the previous prophecies and it should come to pass. A prophecy that never came into pass is safe to say not a prophecy at all. II. True prophet carries no personal agenda not for profit You see, we are not like the many hucksters who preach for personal profit. We preach the word of God with sincerity and with Christs authority, knowing t hat God is watching us. 2 Corinthians 2:17 True prophet carries no personal agenda, these common personal agenda could be: a. Money or salary from their religion b. Religion the modern day baal or the lamb like beast (Rev. 13:11-13) c. Religious Doctrine leavened of the Pharisees, which has nothing to do with our spiritual growth d. Nice and persuasive words for the glory of men not of God Like Jeremiah, Paul and other ministers used by God, they dont earn ministries for living but rather they earn so that they can spread the word of God. Jesus made His example He was a carpenter and yet He evangelize, Paul was a tent make and yet he evangelize, Peter is a fisherman and yet he evangelize. Though it is not bad to get fruit from ministry but the end is not spreading the word of God but rather for his own personal interest. III. True prophet does not love to debate but rather telling the word of God Remind everyone about these things, and command them in Gods presence to stop fighting over words. Such arguments are useless, and they can ruin those who hear them. 2 Timothy 2:14 IV. True prophet carries the power of God which is true signs and wonders And my message and my preaching were very plain. Rather than using clever and persuasive speeches, I relied only on the power of the Holy Spirit. 2 Corinthians 2:4

True prophet relies on the power of God, just like in the times of Moses, Elijah, Peter, Paul and other ministers used by God, they have one thing in common they do what Jesus is doing healing the sick, raising the dead and other miraculous demonstration of Gods power. Unlike false prophet who loves to propagate that the power of God is not applicable in these days for we are in the modern age but God never change He is the same yesterday, today and forever.

IV.

True prophet are being persecuted and accused as false prophet But when Jeremiah had finished his message, saying everything the L ORD had told him to say, the priests and prophets and all the people at the Temple mobbed him. Kill him! they shouted. What right do you have to prophesy in the L ORDs name that this Temple will be destroyed like Shiloh? What do you mean, saying that Jerusalem will be destroyed and left with no inhabitants? And all the people threatened him as he stood in front of the Temple. Jeremiah 26:8-9 Jesus, Jeremiah, Elijah, Paul, Peter, James and other men of God are being persecuted, killed and even accused as false prophets. So as these modern prophets, they are being persecuted, accused as false prophets, violators of the law, etc.

VII.

True prophet knows acknowledge their sins and willing to follow the Lord. Then I said, Its all over! I am doomed, for I am a sinful man. I have filthy lips, and I live among a people with filthy lips. Yet I have seen the King, the L ORD of Heavens Armies. Isaiah 6:5 Like Isaiah who says: I am a sinful man, Peter who says I am sinner and Paul says Im the worst of all sinners. Every men of God in the bible knows their sins and they received the grace from the Lord to do all things. Unlike the false prophet, they never admit their mistakes and even proud to defend their religious doctrines.

Signs that you are being a victim of a false prophet: I. Your foundation is not in Christ but rather in your religion

But anyone who hears my teaching and doesnt obey it is foolish, like a person wh o builds a house on sand. When the rains and floods come and the winds beat against that house, it will collapse with a mighty crash. Matthew 7:26 -27 Victims of these false prophet didnt know that they were already a victim of a false prophet for they think that their doctrines are correct and others are wrong, when in fact they never read the bible straight from cover to cover. You will know that you are a victim if you never read the word of God and you are fun of listening to sermons of these false prophets. Just like in the times of Jeremiah, the people put their faith in Jerusalem rather than putting their faith in God. Thus, when storms in life come like fighting inside the religion, your foundation would be shaken for it is not founded in Christ.

II.

You think that its ok to commit sin sometimes for as long as you believe in God Just like in the times of Jeremiah, people believed in God, they go to Jerusalem to worship but they love to commit sin, worship idols, and do injustice. You will know that you are a victim because you will have an alibi that I am saved, Im only human but in the other day of the week you get drunk, you do gambling, you do injustice like corruption, etc.

III.

You listen to the warning of the true prophet but never obeyed them Just like King Zedekiah, he listens to Jeremiah (Jeremiah 37-38) but never obeyed the instruction to surrender to Babylonians for he feared the people and to these false prophets more than he fears God. You will know that you are a victim for you have your own alibis on why you were not obeying Gods word instead of asking God to give you strength to obey His command. If you ask them, why is it that you are not doing the great commission? They would say, its only for the disciples of Jesus (they are impliedly saying that they are not a disciples of Christ), or say Im not a pastor, or even say I am very busy with my job and other alibis they can think of.

IV.

They are willing to die in their Jerusalem rather than obeying God In Jeremiah 37-38, the Lord gave King Zedekiah an option: stay in Jerusalem and die through war, famine, disease, etc or go to Babylon and live, and yet those who are

victims of these false prophet willing to die for their beliefs thinking that God was still in Jerusalem, so as these modern day victims of false prophets, they are so comfortable in their religion that they are willing to die to their religion and their religious doctrines rather than denying themselves before man and follow Christ.

How to know if he is a false prophet? You will know by his fruit, you will know by the result of his ministry. A false prophet can be very religious but there is no showing of Gods power to transform lives. They can be very loyal to church service but you can hear evil from his mouth and you cannot see transformation in him. You cannot see Gods glory in him. This could be a test: if people went there just gathers for a church ritual or service without any transformation, perhaps you should think about it. Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheeps clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. 16 By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? Matthew 7:15-16 False prophet is not a person but a lying spirit but it manifest to a person. If you feel that you have been a victim of these false prophets please pray this prayer with me. Father in heaven, forgive me Lord for allowing false prophets in my life. Forgive me Lord if I fear men more than You. From now on, I will deny myself before men and follow Jesus Christ on the cross. From now on, I will listen only to Your voice. From now on, I will be obedient to Your Word and apply it in my life. Empower me Lord through Your Holy Spirit. Thank You Father. In Jesus name. Amen.

Chapter 5: Popular Christian prophecies that came to pass that everyone misses out

One World Government This is one of the very popular Christian prophecies that it came to pass wayback 1945 and everyone is still waiting for another one world government just like the Jews waiting for different Messiah because they have rejected the Saviour of the world. Perhaps you might ask why or how could this be? United States is still United States and Philippines is still Philippines. They still have their own laws and constitution. Think again. Theres that United Nation. UN was organized after the second world war to promote peace of the earth. Government means a group of people with specific territory having their own set of rules or laws governing the people. In Government, there is people, territory and set of rules or law. United Nations perfectly fits in this match. They have people (people all over the world), they have territory (all nations around the world that are state), and laws (international laws). Under international law, one cannot considered a state without a recognition from the United Nation. In enforcing their laws, you need the approval of the Big 5. One of the Big 5 of the UN is the United States. You need to have the sponsorship from the US so that you will be a state. Well, you might ask what about the other state that belonged to the UN, arent they entitled to vote? Yes of course, but as of practice, signature of the US is enough and others just concur just like what happened in Iraq and the war in the Middle East. If a state violates international principles, the UN council will declare economic embargo or enforce a security measures or have their UN Security Council be deployed after the court hearing in the UN. If a state has been declared economic embargo, it would be a big problem. The state can no longer import and export their goods outside the country. Their economy would be dead. Most people are waiting for another One World Government because they have different expectation of their own One World Government just like the Jews waiting for different Messiah. Though, Im not closing this theory regarding revising the One World Government structure of the United Nation. It might evolve someday but my point is United Nation is a Government.

One World Religion This is one of the most popular prophecies of all time. Some people thinks that it is real manifestation of the Mark of the Beast. Well, it could be. Religion is the fleshy manifestation to reach heaven setting up standards of men instead of relying the promises of God just like the times of the building the Tower of Babel. But let us see the classic example in the Bible of the One Religion concept.
The Pharisees and Sadducees came to Jesus and tested him by asking him to show them a sign from heaven. Matthew 16:1 Hearing that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, the Pharisees got together. One of them, an expert in the law, tested him with this question: Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law? Matthew 22:34-36 In these stories, you can see that the Pharisees and Sadducees are united to test Jesus even if these two have different doctrines (Acts 23:8). The Pharisees believed in the resurrection while Sadducees dont. But in these cases, they are not arguing each about their religious doctrine but rather they up against Jesus. Both of them wanted to see the Lord crucified and they hated Jesus for performing miracles, signs and wonders. So as these modern day Pharisees and Sadducees they would criticize every modern day men of God who would perform true signs and wonders and doing the Great Commission. These are very common that different religions are so united to criticize the men of God specially during revival. Let me tell you a story, I remember one of my friend (shes Pentecostal, a Born Again Christian), evangelizing me and telling me to remember God. I remember she that shed even ask me if Im afraid in the 2012 Mayan calendar and what if Jesus would return that year if I am ready to face Him, I even argued her that no one knew the second coming of our Lord and debated her with some doctrinal issues. I even told her, why are you eating unclean foods like pork of you are a real Christian, its in Leviticus and why are not observing Sabbath and youre going to church every Sunday for the Lord teaches us the word Remembering the Sabbath commandment and people forget it. They turn Sabbath into Sunday (though I dont know what Im talking about for I never read the Bible from cover to cover, just fun of knowing the doctrines of my denomination). I remember even told her regarding falling down that I dont believe in the falling down or tongues, perhaps its a different spirit. But she was so gentle with her answer. She didnt debated me for she know that I dont know what I am talking about. But later during my first encounter with God, I ate all what I say and repented for all that Ive told . I shared this to point that this is a classic example of the One Religion. Being member of the One Religion loves to criticize manifestation of the movement without judging the fruit or the result thereto. They have this concept that you need to belong to their denomination and observe their religious doctrine inorder to connect with God. Let me illustrate this One Religion Concept.

But what is the Bible speaks about, Jesus said: I am the way, the truth and the light. No one come to the Father except through me. This is what Christianity all about:

In this example, whatever their doctrines, they set it all down for the sake of God, they considered it nothing compare to the knowledge of God through Jesus Christ.

Chapter 6: False Wonders vs True Wonders

What are the signs of a true wonders? What are the signs of a false wonders? Why are people so scared about false wonders? If anyone had a prayer meeting and someone shakes to the ground and immediately heals, most people would immediately accuse that such is a false wonders without even testing if it is false or true for they were scared under this provision: Matt. 24:24 For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect II Cor 11:13-14 For such people are false apostles, deceitful workers, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ.14 And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.
13

Many people were scared of this provisions thinking that all wonders are false. If someone sees speaking in tongues or speak other than his own language would usually says: "What happened to him? is it of God?" without even seeing first his fruit and become judgmental. Some would even think that if someone performs great miracles and shows great wonders, it is of the enemy for he goes to the church during Sundays without even thinking what is he doing during sabbath. Be careful guys, violating the sabbath holy is pardonable but blasphemy of the Holy Spirit is unpardonable sin. But how do we know that he is of men or of God? Simple, test the spirits. 1 John 4
1 Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to determine if they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. 2 By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses Jesus as the Christ who has come in the flesh is from God, 3 but every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God, and this is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming, and now is already in the world.

As Paul said: "No one can says Jesus is Lord except by the Holy Spirit". Thus, if you find someone shakes and speaks in tongue, don't immediately judge or run, look first, listen what he says if he is glorifying God or not. If he glorifies the religion, then he is truly not of God. How funny that when a cancer patient was healed by a prayer healing crusade and shakes down to the ground, people would usually says "he was healed by a demon" without even testing the spirits but no one would ever says "he was healed by a demon" when a cancer patient was healed by reason of chemo-therapy or stem cell.

Who are those false wonders the bible refers to? I tell you that in the end of days there would be a showing of powers between the power of science and the power of God. But the worst thing is, the latter shall be accused that such is from the enemy. No one would ever think that paracetamol is part of the false wonders that the bible was referring into.I tell you, even the very elect would be deceived. Now, is the science or medicine came from the enemy? No, it came from God. It was revealed to us to show His glory but the thing is men acknowledge it as if it came from himself. What would a person do if he has a severe headache, he would rather drink paracetamol or medicine rather than going to his room alone and pray for great miracle from heaven without ever depending on drugs. An example of false wonders was stated on Acts 19: 13 which states: But some itinerant Jewish exorcists tried to invoke the name of the Lord Jesus over those who were possessed by evil spirits, saying, "I sternly warn you by Jesus whom Paul preaches." 14 (Now seven sons of a man named Sceva, a Jewish high priest, were doing this.) 15 But the evil spirit replied to them, "I know about Jesus and I am acquainted with Paul, but who are you?" 16 Then the man who was possessed by the evil spirit jumped on them and beat them all into submission. He prevailed against them so that they fled from that house naked and wounded.
13

In short, false wonders and false prophets produces no good fruit but the true wonders as stated in the parable of the sower produces good fruit. Think guys if you yourselves produces good fruit. Now, lets go to the best part, which is the true wonders. What are the signs of the true wonders? Remember during the exodus of Moses? Where the Pharaoh shows the false wonders but the good thing is, God shows His true wonders and ate those snakes as of the Pharaoh. Acts 2: 17-21 states: 'And in the last days it will be,' God says, 'that I will pour out my Spirit on all people, and your sons and your daughters will prophesy, and your young men will see visions, and your old men will dream dreams. 18 Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days, and they will prophesy. 19 And I will perform wonders in the sky above and miraculous signs on the earth below, blood and fire and clouds of smoke. 20 The sun will be changed to darkness and the moon to blood before the great and glorious day of the Lord comes. 21 And then everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.'
17

God will show His power. How powerful He is. In Acts 6:8, Stephen was full of grace and power from God, performs great wonders and miracles signs to the people but the religious people accuse him as false and he was stoned to death. Paul preaches to the Gentiles with great signs and wonders as mentioned in Romans 15:19, II Cor 12:12 and in Acts 15:12. As before our Lord Jesus Christ ascended to heaven, He gave us a sign of true wonders as stated in Mark 16: 17-18
17 These signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new languages; 18 they will pick up snakes with their hands, and whatever poison they drink will not harm them; they will place their hands on the sick and they will be well."

Ask it to yourself if you have these signs, if not, please do re-think why have you not experienced these signs. Our Lord instructed as to preach the gospel to all nations and baptize then in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit and teach them what I have commanded you. Never baptize them for the sake of membership of your religion or denomination. As our Lord Jesus Christ had promised in the last chapter of Matthew: "and remember, I am with you to the end of days". He is always there watching us as we waits for His return. We love you Father God, we love you Jesus our Messiah, we love you Holy Spirit of God. A Reflection: If a cancer patient was healed through a prayer healing, shakes down to the ground, using the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ, was he healed by God or a demon? Who do think was glorified in this scenario? If a cancer patient was healed through a vegetarian or eating certain foods, was he healed by God or by a demon or by men? Who do you think was glorified? God or the food? Even Atheist can do the same without glorifying God. If a cancer patient was healed through chemo-therapy, was he healed by God, by demon or by science? Who do you think was glorified in this scenario? God or the scientist? Even Atheist can do chemo-theraphy without glorifying God. God can use certain foods or science to heal people. Everything comes from God. But again, this is a reflection why should we not judge certain movement. Let us carefully test the spirit.

Chapter 7: The Commandment for every Christian

There are plenty of people who are very particular of the fundamental beliefs of their religion. Though, some of it were ok and nothing wrong with it for as long as it is not contrary to the bible but some people who put their faith in their religious doctrine without even knowing that their faith is not in Christ Jesus but to their religious doctrine. Some people say that eating pork is not healthy or unclean, thats ok its in the bible (Leviticus) and I dont argue about it but if you say that eating pork will not make you go into heaven, then its not biblical, no scripture can you see that eating pork will make you go to hell. In fact, the bible says: everything is permissible but not everything is beneficial (Corinthians), it is also written the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness, joy and peace in the Holy Spirit (Romans 14), it is also written Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day (Colossians 2). Some people say that they believe in Mary, fine, I dont argue with it, she is the most blessed person in the whole wide world, for she is the instrument whom our Saviour was born here on Earth. But to act as Mary as equal with God and some treat her more than God, it is not biblical. Mary is a human being just like us. Some people are too particular of the fundamental beliefs that the founder of their religion had founded. That they love to debate and even love to defend it. However, as I have observe (as of my case before), they never read the Bible from Genesis to Revelation, they just know their doctrine. In the New Testament, there is only one commandment that Jesus Christ had taught us: Love one another as I have loved you. We should love one another as Jesus had loved us. Its just that simple, that is why we need God inorder for us to do it, we need to crucify our flesh and let Christ live in us. If you say that I kept the Ten Commandments and not love your neighbour and cant even forgive him, he is a liar and the truth is not with him. If you say that you love God and have not love your neighbour, youre fooling yourself (1 John 4), If you say that you love God and does not even love your neighbour which can be seen, how can you love God which is unseen? The Bible tells us that blessed are the peacemakers, not peace lovers. Every person loves peace but the Bible says that we should make peace. Bible also tells us that if a brother who have hurt us, leave your offering outside the temple, go to your brother and tell him what he has done for you, if you still both disagree, have another person as a witness for what he has done, then go back to the temple after you have settle the dispute and offer your offering. This is loving your neighbour. The Bible also tells us to love our enemies and to forgive them, that is also a manifestation of loving our neighbour.

Im gonna tell you a story. My grandpa was killed when a taxi hit his car, he was not immediately killed but he died before he arrived at the hospital. For me, at that time, it was one of the most painful experience ever happened in my life. The taxi driver has no money to reimburse our expense and the taxi operator contributes a little bit of the expense and even less than 1/8 of our incurred expense. My heart burned with anger against the taxi driver and the taxi operator. I said to myself, one day I shall have my revenge on you. I remember when I saw the taxi driver in prison I told him: my family will not charge you with any crime, I forgive you but do not let me see you r face again or else I might kill you. Its a false forgiveness, it is never forgiveness. Its a classic example of forgiveness by a hypocrite. Not until one day during the encounter with God retreat (as mentioned earlier), the pastor told us to allow the Holy Spirit to search our hearts and forgive those who has sinned against you and bless them. The pastor even told us to open our mouth as we forgive them and as we speak their blessings and do not stop releasing forgiveness and blessing until you feel the release of your heart. I tell you, its one of the hardest things that I had ever done. But the Bible tells us: forgive us our sins as we forgive those who had sinned against us. As I open my mouth and release the taxi driver and the taxi operator forgiveness and release all the blessing, I feel that something inside of me was lifted off and I feel great relief. And I can say that was a true forgiveness. Forgiveness is a command from God inorder for us to be forgiven (parable of the unforgiving servant; Lords prayer), yet many people often says I have forgiven you but in fact in their heart has some grievances. That is not true forgiveness. True forgiveness means releasing forgiveness even if you dont like it or even if it hurts . True forgiveness means releasing that pain in your heart to the Lord for you are already forgiven by God. Its easy to forgive after all if you have the revelation from the Lord that your sins are already forgiven. Let me ask you one question, which has more sins, (1) your neighbour against you? Or (2) you against the Lord? If the Lord God Almighty had forgiven your many sins, why cant forgive someone with few sins towards you? If you have someone that you havent forgiven (or the real forgiveness), I want you to open your mouth and release forgiveness to those person who have sinned against you and bless them. I know its hard but if you declare forgiveness I tell you that pain will be gone and will turn into joy. Lord Jesus, Forgive me Lord of my sins as I forgive those who have sinned against me. Lord, I declare and decree forgiveness to (name of the person) for the sinned that he had committed against me (enumerate). Forgive them also Lord for He does not know what he is doing. I declare blessings upon (name of the person) that he may be blessed. (Do not stop releasing forgiveness and blessings until all the pain is gone, surrender everything to the Lord; If you feel

that you cant open your mouth in releasing forgiveness , ask the Holy Spirit to empower you to release forgiveness upon that person)
