HIS WILL
Psalm119:1-4, ‘Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walks in the law of the Lord! Blessed are those who keep His testimonies, who seek Him with the whole heart! They also do no iniquity; they walk in His ways. You have commanded us to keep Your precepts diligently.’
Welcome to the Realm of the Spirit!!! We are now in the inner court of the Spiritual Temple of God.
When we obey and walk in the Spiritual Laws of God (the word), we are walking in the Spiritual Realm and fulfill His Perfect Will for us. The Word is Spirit (Eph.6:17); this chapter will mainly focus on the soul and Spirit of man (born-again).
The Perfect Will of God is His ideals and standard instructions for humanity to follow, so that He can complete the plans He has predestined for us before the creation of the earth. Just like the Plimsoll line, which is a marking on the ship’s side showing legal submersion under various conditions, it is an indicator of danger when we go out of line of the standards of God. We can work towards God’s ideals while we are in our present situation as we all fall short of His Glory. Our spiritual maturity comes as we obey and work towards the ideals of God.
May all Glory and Honor and Thanksgiving and Praise be to God who has sent His Holy Spirit to live in us and help us overcome our weaknesses after we have received our salvation.. Amen!!!
Gen.1:2, ‘The earth was without form, and void and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the water.’
Before the creation of the earth the Bible says, the Holy Spirit of God was hovering over the water, brooding like a mother hen over its eggs before life and creation came forth.
And in these last days, since the day of Pentecost( Acts 2), the Holy Spirit has been hovering over the waters of humanity (fishes) leading , guiding, teaching, comforting, and helping the people of God to complete the plans God has for us and lead the non-believers to come to know Jesus.
Jesus says in John14:16. ‘And I pray the Father, and He will give another helper (comforter) that He may abide with you forever.’
We have been so blessed to be born in such a time as to be in the ‘Era of the Holy Spirit’, a Helper, Comforter and a Guide and God comes to dwell among us. Joel 2:28, ‘…And it shall come to pass afterward that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh…’
In the Old Testament, the Holy Spirit only fell on certain elects God wanted to use, like the Prophets, Kings and Priests. It’s a different ball game now, and it is exclusively given to the born-again Christians.
Those people of other religions may bleed themselves dry or bring physical pain to their bodies or sacrifice their children to their idols in vain, to seek purification; but by the Spirit of God, His grace will be sufficient for us to overcome every problem and testing and trials we have and guide us in the sanctification of our souls for eternity (1Cor.10:13)
Isaiah 40:31, ‘…But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagle, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.’
There are many spirits in the world today but there is only one Holy Spirit of the Almighty Creator God; and we are glad to have the genuine Holy Spirit of God to dwell within us because we have the Blood of Jesus to cover us. Amen!!!
For others, who are also seeking to find God, could not come near to the Creator God because they do not have the redeeming grace of the Blood of the Lamb (salvation) and they are deceived and are energized by other spirits who may even come as angels of light.
In this end-time move of God, He will raise up a generation of finishers (2Tim.4:7) whose will, will come and fall in line with the Will and Standards of God, who through their own choice, would want to come and spend eternity with Him and the Holy Spirit is at work to help them choose the right way and refine them in the process. The Holy Spirit is preparing a Bride for Jesus. Amen!!!
HIS PERFECT WILL
Eph.1:4, ‘For He chose us in Him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in His sight.’
God foreknew us before the foundation of the earth and we are ‘predestined to conform to the likeness of His Son……’ (Rom 8:29B).
Even before the creation of the world, God has elected us and chosen us to be pure and holy like Christ. The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit have agreed in unison before the world existed, that Jesus, the Son, will be sent to die for the sins of humanity and rise again, and teach us the way in the purification of the souls of man. This is the Perfect Will of God.
Rev.13:8, ‘all inhabitants of the earth will worship the beast – all whose names have not been written in the book of life belonging to the Lamb that was slain from the creation of this world.’
1Peter 1:20, ‘He was chosen before the creation of the world, but was revealed in these last times for your sake.’
In Genesis chapter 15, God told Abram that his children will be as numerous as the stars in heaven. I do not want to look at the numbers, but the word ‘stars’. Why did He use the stars instead of other things? The stars do not generate light by itself but are reflections of the sun, the only natural source of light. In heaven God is the original great bright light, the spiritual children of Abraham will be like shinning stars in heaven, reflecting the glory of God.
How much the reflection of the brightness (Glory) of God will be how much Christ-likeness we have after God had purified us and dealt with us in the dispensation of our duties and purpose for God; this will be our identity and ranking in heaven. This is the Perfect Will of God to be a reflection of His glory or Christ-likeness in heaven
THE VISION
Daniel 12:2-3, ‘And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, some to shame and everlasting contempt. Those who are wise shall shine, like the brightness of the firmament, and those who turn many to righteousness like the stars forever and ever.’ (The Rapture)
When I had my operation in July, 2003 in the General Hospital, Penang, to remove my kidneys, I saw this vision in the middle of the night. It was on the third day in the hospital. I could not sleep after I had realized that I had come through a miraculous operation. I was so excited and inspired; perhaps also with the help the ‘antibiotics’ I was taking.
Every time I closed my eyes, I could see stars, beautiful stars in different shades of brightness in the firmament of the universe. And as I began to look closer and concentrate on the shinning stars, they began to come closer and closer to me, until they became trees, charcoal black oily trees; that vision came on and on the whole night and I could not bring myself to understand what the vision was all about.
As I began to seek the Lord later when I was discharged from the hospital, the Lord started to explain this vision clearly to me. The explanation of the stars could be found in Dan: 12: 2-3.
God impressed upon my heart that from now on He wants me to focus on and tell His people about His Perfect Will in His plans for eternity. He also wants me to explain scriptures through His eyes (perspective) looking down from heaven, not from the world looking up, because much confusion has arisen when people wants to understand God’s plan by using their worldly intellect, putting God in a box.
Psalm 1:3, explains about the Godly man, ‘He shall be like trees planted by the river of water.'
Mark 8:24, ‘And he looked up and said, 'I see men like trees, walking.’ This is what the blind man of Bethsaida said when he was healed by Jesus and the first thing he said was he saw men like trees.
The trees in my vision spoke about humanity; and the oily charcoal dark trees talks about the condition of their un-regenerated souls on the earth.
This is a futuristic vision and a calling for me. Again, God wants me to preach to His children about His plans to transform humanity into pure souls, shinning like the bright lights and shinning stars in heaven, a reflection of His Glory.(Dan.12:2-3) through all eternity. God has promoted me to be a Prophetic Exalter, telling God’s people the Will of God for the future and exalting and encouraging them in the process. I am not a Prophet.
In the firmament of God, there are the greater lights and the lesser lights. (Gen.:1:16). The sun is the brightest original light and all the other lights are the reflection of the glory of the sun. Even the stars have their own shades of brightness.
You have the brighter star, lesser glow stars and some pale shinning stars at the corner of the universe. When our souls are perfected, like a mirror we will reflect the glory of God in His eternal kingdom.
The Lord revealed to me that the different degrees of reflected brightness depends on the condition (maturity) of the soul before we die and also the credits we have received serving Him on earth.
God revealed even more to me when He brought me back to the days when I was a science teacher, concerning nature’s way of making diamonds.
In the eyes of science, I had taught that diamonds were formed millions of years ago when large acres of forestations were buried under the earth through earth movements, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and glacier movements.
And through years of pressure and heat from the centre of the earth, the body liquid masses of the forest became fossil oil and were stored in channels under the surface of the earth now called crude oil for petroleum.
And the hard wood body parts of the plants became hard carbon and through a longer period of pressure and heat, will turn to rough diamonds, waiting to be mined, polished and shine like the stars in heaven.
Spiritually, the Lord revealed to me again that it was like the regenerating process of God in purifying souls for His eternal kingdom. The pressure and heat represented the refiner’s fire and the baptism of fire God sent on the souls that needed to be purified just like in the refining of gold.
The squeezed out oil from the forest talked about the fragrance of brokenness to be diffused in every place and through further dealings of the Lord, they will graduate to be shinning stars in heaven.
The different grades of brightness, like the polished diamonds, will depend on the availability of their yieldedness in allowing themselves to be dealt with or burned by God’s Holy Fire.
In conclusion Jesus had not come to die for our salvations only but had given us the keys into the Spirit Realm to continue our spiritual pilgrimage on earth, with the help of the Holy Spirit, in the cleansing of our souls to be holy and blameless (Eph.1:4), so that He can present His flawless Bride to the Father in due course.
