The New Fast,

In Mark 2:

Jesus Questioned About Fasting

18 Now John’s disciples and the Pharisees were fasting. Some people came and asked Jesus, “How is it that John’s disciples and the disciples of the Pharisees are fasting, but yours are not?”

19 Jesus answered, “How can the guests of the bridegroom fast while he is with them? They cannot, so long as they have him with them. 20 But the time will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them, and on that day they will fast.

21 “No one sews a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment. Otherwise, the new piece will pull away from the old, making the tear worse. 22 And no one pours new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise, the wine will burst the skins, and both the wine and the wineskins will be ruined. No, they pour new wine into new wineskins.”

What does this mean? Many of Jesus’ sayings seem disjointed, which is interesting, b/c the teachers of the Law never wanted to listen to prophets. What Jesus is saying here is that after Jesus came, things changed. One is the meaning of the fast. In the past, fasting was for self-humbling and to show repentance to GOD. For example, the Ninevites put on sack cloth and fasted, and GOD relented and did not destroy Ninevah, to Jonah’s dissatisfaction. Is there another newer account of Jonah?

Now, fasting still means that, but it has another meaning. As Jesus said He came to do something NEW! Fasting and praying. The fast is a way to bless someone with prayer&fasting. Fasting speeds the answer to prayer, one such as ‘May Jesus return come swiftly’. And fasting can help someone if an entity ‘has’ them. But at the heart of all prayer and fasting is gospel peace and the justice for all (as Isaiah says in the True Fast).

LOVE,

P.S. – Also, Christians should be joyful people. That’s why Jesus talks about wine and partying! We don’t win people over but being too somber, too serious, too boring, and too much about keeping rules,

GOD’s Good Name,

Right now, Christians DO NOT have a good name in the United States,

Some of that is because Christians are hated, and some of that is because we hate, let it be the latter and not the former,

In the oft quoted book of Malachi, we see GOD saying He is a Great King, and that He is concerned about His Name! That is very, very, very, very, very, very true.

Just because we are strangers and persecuted in this world, doesn’t mean that we can do what every we want. We are strangers b/c most of the world does not really know or practice GOD’s good ways. That know it, but they don’t do it. They hate us, b/c we are good.

So, let’s take the game up another level, and love, really love. Because GOD, Jesus’ GOOD NAME is at stake. If we really want to honor, nay, revere and worship GOD, then we need to be MORE CONSCIOUS of PROTECTING HIS GOOD NAME.

How do we do that? Not only by being blameless, because often that is not possible, but by being peaceful, loving people that forgive and are quick to ask for forgiveness and put things right.

LOVE,

The Definition of ‘Perfect’,

Short post today,

What does perfect mean? Often we think it means that there is nothing wrong with someone, then he/she is perfect. But, the Bible definition by context is:

perfect = loving everyone, hating no one.

Be perfect as your Father in Heaven is perfect, who shines the sun on everyone and sends the rain on the wicked and righteous alike. Or something like that,

Just as Jesus is the Way, His ways are not our own. His words are not ours either. Part of joining the Light is speaking the words GOD gives us. And then, part of the work is also either redeeming the words we now use or finding new words to describe totally secular or occult type realities.

LOVE,

The Truth, Jesus the Bride Groom,

Our LORD Jesus talked about the End Times, and one of the signs was that the abomination that causes desolation would be standing in the Holy Place. Since these are the last days, I am instructed to reveal this.

What is the Holy Place? It is not the Holy of Holies, so it is the middle court. What it is today is the modern day church. The language in the Bible is sometimes very harsh to today’s ears, but an abomination is a monster or something GOD ‘hates’ or is detestable. Now, this is just my thinking, but the abomination is homosexuality and what causes desolation is war.

So, in my interpretation, the abomination that causes desolation standing in the Holy Place is:?

It is a openly gay pastor or priest that preaches war not peace. And we have that right now. We don’t see that yet. But it is here, and it will happen more and more. What can we do to avert this? Because the future visions or prophecies of the prophets are just that. Somethings are just a vision of WHAT COULD HAPPEN IF we don’t change our ways.

So, to nip this, I suggest this truth to be revealed:

When a child is not married yet, or has not found their partner in life. The Biblical View is that that child is not really male or female. It is only when that child joins with one of the opposite sex, that they start to express and discover and walk in their maleness or femaleness. That is another reason why homosexuals do not have the best that GOD wants.

Another secret being revealed to you today that will help is Jesus was the Bridegroom because? Inside He was like a Ma’am-Sir, as I hear so often from the Filipino cultures. Filipinos are very familiar with homosexuality or complex sexuality. Jesus was not gay. But He definitely had mastered having a soft side. He also was a mama’s boy, so He knew how to do most everything a woman could do, but of course He most likely always did it in a manly way. There is a school of thought, that a man should do woman’s work (as he accompanies his mom in early life), and then graduate to man’s work when he is old enough to ‘tolerate’ his father’s barking.

How can a man lead a woman if he doesn’t know anything about women? How can he talk to her if there isn’t anything womanly about him? Because that’s how we connect with people – like connects to like. GODly men are Ma’am-Sirs. They are both male and female. That is a big secret. And that’s why Jesu was called the Bridegroom.

If Christians can accept that our LORD was like this. Then perhaps we wouldn’t hate on gays, lesbians, and transgenders so much. It is hate that causes war. And misunderstanding that causes the creation of new gays who never wanted to be in the first place. Those who are or choose to be should be allow to live their lives in peace and without fear of judgment or persecution. I have no problem saying all that and even would go so far to say I have GOD’s endorsement on the spirit of what I said. It’s all good.

LOVE,

Don’t Shao Kan the Holy,

Shao Kan, or 小 看, in Chinese literally means look at to be small. It means to discount or consider ill. These days, people consider holiness and righteousness and goodness to be useless or of little practical value. They scoff at GOD’s holy people such as priests, pastors, monks, nuns, etc. All they do is nothing and pray and sing and act holy and look down on me.

I’ve met people, and I understand them. People usually are tough but their ability to take constructive criticism shows extreme sensitivity. And that’s good, what that really means is that they really know what is right and wrong. But, our ears are not attuned to that frequency. What we need for some in the outside and outer courts is a different communication method. We cannot criticize. We cannot say things we usually hear in the sanctuaries. Yes, they need to hear, but we cannot expect everyone to repent in the same way. How many ways are there to say sorry?

Does it have to be with head bowed, a verbal and tearful apology? Are we understanding enough to accept a look down and silence? Are we understanding enough to accept a blink? Are we understanding or powerful enough to see on the face that the sorry happened inside?

With super sensitive people, if you push too hard after the fact. Sometimes you will hurt the process and maybe even undo it. We need to be more flexible and sensitive ourselves. We need to be more sensitive to the leadings of the Spirit. And for that, no secret, we need to practice fasting.

Back on our side, Holiness, if you are not convinced IS SOMETHING. Why does GOD not explain this? Because it has to be discovered to be really fun! In my steps with GOD in greater and greater holiness what has happened? One, my relationships have improved. You become super nice and genuinely sweet and caring. I don’t care who you are (k/j), all people like good things. You can be a murderer but still love your nice, sweet mom. Two, my prayers are answered. GOD answers prayers, but He really answers the prayers of those He favors and that love and seek hard after Him. So that’s why we do these things. There is a material or practical side to holiness and prayers. It makes things happen. It brings the need-want into reality. Three, I’m still waiting for this to happen, but I believe that holiness cures people of disease. The prayers can do it, a touch can do it. I’ve received sickness from other people by hugging them or even just praying for them. I’m not bragging but just sharing with those of you out there doing the same thing; encouragement. What happened with Jesus and His Apostles? Eventually, they were able to heal through Jesus’ and Holy Spirit training, but they could heal with a Word or a touch, instantly! Now, what is that worth?

LOVE,

Have Faith!

This is VERY IMPORTANT! We must have faith! If we don’t have faith, we can’t have what we want. Simple as that. Stretching your imaginations, daring to believe, daring to hold on to your dreams, daring to trust that Jesus the LORD will give you what you want, and being patient is very important.

If we know that GOD is all powerful. We know that He can do anything. If we know He loves us, that means He would do anything for us. There is just some reason(s) why we don’t get everything we want. But we can keep asking. We can keep seeking. We can keep knocking. But through it all, we must LOVE HIM, OBEY HIM, and keep a GOOD ATTITUDE. Right attitude.

When Jesus healed people in the Gospels. He didn’t say ‘Come here, I’ll heal you.’ If you really notice, Jesus didn’t really say anything at all.

Most of the time, Jesus just allowed the miracles to happen AS the people believed it would happen. Basically, it’s like Jesus was saying what can I do for you? And if a person says, “I believe if you just touch me, then I will be healed of my leprosy.” Then that’s what happened. Of course, Jesus is GOD and there were many cases where He just healed people. But mostly He was very pleased when we exercised our faith.

So, let’s do that! Have Faith!

LOVE,

The Children of GOD,

Truly, I tell you, what are GOD’s children? They may even work among you, but they really only have no purpose. Like the gifted children in the movie the Matrix, they are the seemingly stupid. Why mostly because they couldn’t hurt a fly if you paid them a million dollars. They often have powers, but never do anything for themselves. What are these people?

They are the children of GOD. Their only purpose is to make their Father and Mother in Heaven happy. That’s really it. They don’t ‘belong’ to anyone else, only their parents maybe. Because their parents have the responsibility to support them.

What some people have not realized is that some children of GOD NEVER grow up. Why? Because their Mother in Heaven wouldn’t have it. Ha-ha. Maybe for their entire lifetimes on Earth, they never serve a purpose or even make a penny of money. How do you recognize a child of GOD? They are often brilliant but misunderstood and they are upon first glance stupid and retarded. They are peaceful and the whole world seems to revolve around them. The sun shines right on top of them. But STILL, they are children of GOD, and at some level of understanding you recognize that. GOD who knows the hearts of all, would be very insulted to hear you say those thoughts about His Children. And what then would happen to you? They would have to pray for your forgiveness.

What can you do for a child of GOD? I don’t know, they have the best life and the worst life.
