Revelation of John 17: The Great Whore = Roman Catholic Church

Before you read this, I would like you to be familiar with your Bible first, please read every verses I quoted there then see the fulfillment. May your eyes be opened while you are reading it. God bless you.

Revelation of John 17:1-2
And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying to me, Come here; I will show to you the judgment of the great whore that sits on many waters: With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.
With kings of the earth

With inhabitants of the earth



Revelation of John 17:3-4

So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit on a scarlet colored beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet color, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:
Purple and Scarlet Color

Gold and Precious Stones and Pearls
Having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication


Hey!! They declared themselves as that woman, can't you see that vatican coin? Why you still ignorant?

Revelation of John 17:5

And on her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.

Babylon Tradition

Catholic Sacred Tradition

Revelation of John 17:6

And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.

They burned those who believed in Jesus

They persecuted even the women and children of the early church

They put them inside the colloseum to be eaten by lions or killed by gladiators

They killed Jewish people on Holocaust

You think Hitler was an atheist? NOPE, He cooperated with Catholic priests

Benedict involved as NAZI Youth (He is the German, don't you know that?)


Revelation of John 17:7

And the angel said to me, Why did you marvel? I will tell you the mystery of the woman, and of the beast that carries her, which has the seven heads and ten horns.

Do your eyes still under hallucination, my friends?

Revelation of John 17:8

The beast that you saw was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.

There was a time where the Roman Catholic Church moved their headquarter from Vatican to Avignon (go into perdition). Afterward, Europe went into Renaissance period. Catholicism was dead, religion was dead, but because of that Christianity rose again, God pour out His Spirit onto them, they started to translate the Bible in many languages, and revivals started in many countries and continue until now, many got saved.

RCC perdition happened until to 1870 (when Rome was usurped by the Italian army), the Roman Catholic Church was entrenched in her wilderness experience.

Revelation of John 17:9
And here is the mind which has wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sits.

Go to your Italian map and see the Vatican, Rome. It is located on the seven hills, my friends.

After 1870, even though Catholic Church came back to rule in Vatican, but still the pope must subject to Italian ruler, another head of state. The Catholic Church believed that by virtue of his calling, the pope had an inalienable right to a temporal sovereignty. Only then could he conduct fully and freely his duties as head of the universal Catholic Church. But this demand conflicted with the natural desire of the Italians for a united nation with Rome as its capital.

Both sides of the conflict were eager for an end to this lingering problem. In 1922, Benito Mussolini, the Duke, and Pope Pius XI came to power. And by 1929 they had at last found a solution to the thorny Roman Question that had lasted 59 years. On February 11, 1929, three sets of documents, known collectively as the Lateran Accords, were signed in Rome at the Lateran Palace by Cardinal Gasparri, representing Pope Pius XI, and Mussolini, representing King Victor Emanuel III.

Roman Catholic Church got its independence and sovereignty again. The political independence means that now they had a monarchy, although on much reduced area of land, where the pope was the absolute ruler (king). The pope now was not only the supreme head of the Catholic Church universally, but also the indisputable temporal king over the State of Vatican City. He was no longer a prisoner of captivity. Started at 1929, Pope became King.

Revelation of John 17:10-11

And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he comes, he must continue a short space. And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goes into perdition.

If Pope Benedict die, the next Pope will bring Catholic reign over the world again, they will have power to persecute the Christian. The beast will recovered. The great persecution like in the early church will happen again. The 8th Pope will bring the devilish thing that last during the early centuries.
My friends, can you feel that end times is so near? Today Pope is now already 81 years old. How long do you think he can live? And after him, the 8th one will come, he will be the beast. There are many beasts in book of revelation. This beast is not the real Antichrist, is not the man of sin, in not 666. The next pope will open the way for the REAL Antichrist to come.
You should know that as God Trinity, Satan also has trinity, the Dragon (Satan Himself), the Beast out of the Sea and the Beast out of the earth. The next Pope is one of that Beast.
Revelation of John 17:12-14
And the ten horns which you saw are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast. These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength to the beast. These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful. And he said to me,
Many said, it talked about UK, Germany, France, Italy, etc. But they are already kingdoms. Number 10 here means number of completeness. It is talked about The kings gather together to make completeness. This is what the Roman Catholic Church try to accomplish through Ecumenical Movement, to have one mind, One World Religion.
Who are these 10 kings?
  1. Protestantism
  2. Catholicism
  3. Greek Orthodox
  4. Judaism
  5. Islam
  6. Buddhism
  7. Shintuism
  8. Confucianism
  9. Hinduism
  10. Communism


Did you see that? Pope kissed Koran. RCC did adultery with Islam, Hindu, Budha, etc. You who are Lukewarm Christian, be prepared, when Rapture takes place soon, you will be left behind. Religions are nothing, they can't lead to heaven. You need to accept Jesus, my friends. That's the only way to escape from the terrible situation await for us in short future.

Ecumenical Movement will come to pass. One world religion will happen soon. We can't go against what Scripture said. Christian friends, be prepared, be ready, our spiritual battle await in front. Great persecution will come only to those who hold strong to the name of Jesus. But those who faithful will be accepted in heaven, even though must die martyr or be beheaded.
Revelation of John 17:15
The waters which you saw, where the whore sits, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.
Prepare yourself. Otherwise Jesus will find you falling asleep and the door will be shut before you (Read Matthew 25:1-13 Parable of 10 Virgins)
Revelation of John 17:16-17
And the ten horns which you saw on the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire. For God has put in their hearts to fulfill his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom to the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.
Catholic fellows will experience terrible time in the end times because of their Church behaviour. Their church does adultery with many religions through Ecumenical Movement. But as the Bible said, those religions will start to hate that whore (Roman Catholic Church). For God will open their eyes. Islam, Hindu, Budha, Communism will attack Catholic fellows, but we are genuine born again Christian will have been raptured before the 666, Man of Sin, the Real Antichrist comes.
Farewell, my friends. I bid you last goodbye to those who always reject me. I wish to see you in heaven. Because I do love you, I tried to convince you, but you chose to be on your own. I know what will happen to those who chose to stay in that church. Your Ecumenical Movement, your Peace and Love program, will attack you back. I have warned you these last 3 months. You said you have your freewill, so, I respect you, my friends. Do as you like, your blood is on your own head, I am innocent now.
Revelation of John 18:4-6
And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that you be not partakers of her sins, and that you receive not of her plagues. For her sins have reached to heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities. Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double to her double according to her works: in the cup which she has filled fill to her double
Revelation of John 17:18
And the woman which you saw is that great city, which reigns over the kings of the earth.

Within one hour according to Revelation 18:19 that great city will be destroyed.

This is the reason we should afraid of Iran nuclear weapon. Oil Price, Global Warming, Global Economic Crisis, Global Famine, Global Clean Water Crisis, Natural Disasters, those who are wise, should start thinking about their eternity.

1 John 2:18

Little children, it is the last hour. Just as you heard that an antichrist is coming, so now many antichrists have appeared. This is how we know it is the last hour

If you read very well that verse, you will find that there will be an Antichrist (singular), man of Sin, 666 that will appear in the last day. And Roman Catholic Church is one of the antichrists (plural). God used them to fulfill His will, to fulfill His Scripture about the real Antichrist, the 666. Here is the proof, can't you see that inverted cross, antichrist symbol?

ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH IS THE ANTICHRIST CHURCH. MOVE OUT FROM IT, CHILDREN OF GOD

If you still don't believe me, make sign of the cross that you usually do before and after you pray. Does it not make inverted cross again. The length between your forehead to the chest in longer than from the heart to the chest. Everytime you do that, you declaring yourself as antichrist believers.

With this final conclusion, I have finished my ministry about Catholicism, I will start focusing on my thesis. Sorry if I don't have much time to reply any of your comments. If you have some questions, look at the points below, maybe I have answered it there. God bless you.

Questions:

  1. Alvin, do you know that Catholic church was the church built by Jesus himself and Peter was the first Pope?
  2. Alvin, you should bring peace not wars against people?
  3. Alvin, there are many who don't believe in Jesus, will God send all of them to hell?
  4. Alvin, how can devil do miracles?
  5. Alvin, if Catholic is not from God, it won't exist now.

Alvin, if Roman Catholic is not from God, it won't exist till now

After I talked so much about Catholicism, I think I should finish it soon. Not only because you are already tired of me, but also, I need to start doing my thesis. After I tried to convince them and before they left and curse me, they will justify themselves again by usually asking this question. If Roman Catholic is not from God, it won't exist till now. But, I won't spare them.

Please, my friends tell me, 'Do you mean that Baal worshipper, Islam, Hindu, Budha, etc are from God since they are also exist till now?'

Bible says that Jesus is the only way to the Father (John 14:6) and no other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved (Act 4:12). Those who don't acknowledge Jesus as the Lord, Saviour must be not from God.

So, If Islam, Budha, Hindu, etc still exist, why Roman Catholic Church should not?

Jesus himself answered that question. He gave a parable about weeds and good seeds in Matthew 13:24-30

The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a man who sowed good seed in his field. While people were sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat and went away. When the crop came up and bore grain, the weeds appeared, too. The owner's servants came and said to him, ‘Master, you sowed good seed in your field, didn't you? Then where did these weeds come from?’ He told them, ‘An enemy did this!’ The servants said to him, ‘Then do you want us to go and pull them out?’ He said, ‘No, for if you pull out the weeds, you might pull out the wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest, and at harvest time I will tell the reapers, “Gather the weeds first and tie them in bundles for burning, but bring the wheat into my barn.”

You know the interpretation right? Jesus explained it on Matthew 13:36-43

It is said that Son of Man has sowed sons of the Kingdom in this world, and devil also has sowed his sons of the evil ones. They will live together, until their time has run out, until harvest time, the end of the world, when He will send his angels to harvest both of them, then He will separate between His children and devil's. Those who are not his will be thrown away to the fire.

So, my friends, do not wonder why there are so many false teaching, even though they are not from God. It happened because God allow it, to approve those who are faithful and really sought for His face, depend on Him only. Those who are lazy, ignorant, proud, self-righteous, will never understand about Bible. They will just make their own interpretation and teach publicly, many got deceived. This will continue until the end of the world.

1 Corinthians 11:19

For there must be also heresies among you, that they which are approved may be made manifest among you.

If I were you, I would not trust my eternity to somebody who I only met every sunday in the church, to those you called them, 'Prater, or Father, or anything you can name it'. Even he himself didn't remember your name, but you called him 'Father'. They maintain holy life, but based on the tradition, not Bible. They worship God in vain. They are deceiving themselves.

Do not put your trust about eternity on men, do not think that because he is a pastor, priest, saint, even pope, he can make sure your eternity. It is too risky, my friends. You must know the dark history of the church, right? They sold indulgence letter (now Mass Card), they sent people for Crusade, their Motto is 3G (Gold, Glory and Gospel). That was Roman Catholic Church, and because of that, God's name is blasphemied among the people. They would say that Christianity is no different with Islam, preaching the Gospel through wars, forces.

You need to know how to differenciate between those who have the Word of God inside them and those who are also blind teacher. Maybe they don't have any bad intention to anybody, but he speaks based on his own thought, he preach so many error and nobody can correct him, because both of them are blind, both of them will fall into pit. Bible is Word of God, my friends. Always compare what they teach or tell you to do with Bible. Have you ever done that, my friends?

  • Have you ever asked why you should do this and that?
  • Why you have to pray in front of statue, kneel down before sit down on your seat in the church, etc?
  • Why when you said In the name of God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit you need to touch part of your body, which look like inverted cross?
  • Why you should go to priest to ask God's forgiveness?
  • Why your prayers seem stuck on the ceiling above?
  • Why worship God seem to be in vain?
  • Why to come closer to God you need to live in celibacy?

My friends, if you aware of this fact. You should warn others. There are many heresies our there. Most of them use Bible as their base, but they only have half-truth. The thing that they understand clearly, they dig deep into it, they study more and more until they intoxicated onto it and never touch any other parts from the Bible until they are saturated on that subject and began to talk non-sense. They will tell people that they met angels, God asked them to marry virgins, little girl, or to pray through them, through the dead, doing celibacy, abstain from certain foods, worship idols, sacrifice their children, etc.

1 Timothy 4:1-3
Now the Spirit says clearly that in the last times some people will abandon the faith by following deceitful spirits, the teachings of demons, and the hypocrisy of liars, whose consciences have been burned by a hot iron. They will try to stop people from marrying and from eating certain foods, which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth.

So, the answer: All the false teachings, false doctrines will last until the end of the world and it will increase even more. You need to open your Bible and make your awareness not dull. God bless you.

The books I read: Biography of Men of God

I want to share a bit about the books I read recently. I read the books about biography of Men of God. John Wycliffe, John Hus, John Knox, John Wesley, Martin Luther, Charles Finney, General Booth, D.L. Moody, George Muller, Wilhelm Busch, etc. These kind of books, I enjoy most, because they wrote based on their experiences, their personal encounter with God, not complicated or using so many Bible verse just to support their opinions. If you want to be useful in God's work, I suggest you to read these books. These books are only for those who have been born again. NOT LUKEWARM CHRISTIAN.

http://www.impactchristianbooks.com/products.asp and 'Jesus Our Destiny' by Wilheim Busch. These people were crazy for God, and God honored them. You will see how God worked through people.

Bible is practical, living Christian life is practical. You can't have this if you never move from your comfort zone. The Gospel of Christ will just be a story about Jesus' life, Books of Acts will just a story about Revival, and letters from Paul will just like teachings, full of words, without power, without Holy Spirit, without deep conviction. Many people can teach, many people can understand the Word of God (literally), which is good, but to make it much better, you need to live on it, to practice it into your daily life. You will receive more blessing from God.

1 Thessalonians 1:5

for the gospel we brought did not come to you in words only, but also with power, with the Holy Spirit, and with deep conviction. Indeed, you know what kind of people we proved to be while we were with you, acting on your behalf.

Let's talk about our Master first, Jesus Christ. His ministry began at the age of 30 years old until his death. He did ministry for 3.5 years. But can you imagine what He did? If you read the whole Gospel books, he did a lot. Imagine! At that time, there was no car, airplane, most of the cases people walked but Jesus did so many things during that days. He is Son of Man, had the same weakness like us, His body was the same like us, flesh. But He was on Fire all the time. He is the image of invisible God, the firstborn of all creation (Collossians 1:15). He woke up early in the morning and pray, the he went to reach the people and preach the Gospel, He did healing, deliverance, miracles, teaching, etc, then at night He went to pray again. He did this everyday. God's Spirit was inside Him. He was on Fire everyday for 3.5 years.

Then, when Jesus has finished His ministry, it continued like yeast inside the flour, it will work until all of it was leaven, Jesus came to show us the Way to God, He died on the cross to pay the price for us. He introduced the Salvation way to all people. Jesus was the small beginning, and it will continue until this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.

The seed doesn't come to life unless it dies (1 Cor 15:36). So Jesus establish His church in this world on the Rock, Jesus Christ, Son of the Living God, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it. From Jesus unto 12 Apostles, one has been doomed, then it grew into 120 people (Acts 1:15). And on the day of Pentacost, when the Holy Spirit was for the first time poured down, about 3000 men were added. It continued until the early church established in Antioch and they called themselves Christians (Acts 11:26).

During that time, God's work must continue. God chose those who are willing to be used by Him. If you read the book of Acts, there are many names who labored so much for God: The 12 Apostles (Matthias replaced Judas Iscariot position), the Seven (Stephen, Philip, Procorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, Nicolas), Barnabas, Silas, Apollos, Timothy, Lydia, Aeneas, Dorcas, etc. God didn't ask you to be rich, to be clever, to be beautiful, to be talented, He just need a man/woman, who can say, 'Here I am, use me!' Jesus shows Himself to everybody. If you encountered with people who bring the Gospel, that means Jesus is calling you. He has something for you.

The same thing like Jesus chose to use Saul (which later changed to Paul) He appeared as the light on his journey to Damascus. I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting. This calling is the same for every believer, not just only to Paul, only to 12 Apostles, but it also applied for you, but many people reject to be used by God, even though Jesus himself who talked to them. Many of them make an excuse for themselves by saying, 'Lord, let me go and bury my father' or 'I will follow you, Lord, but first let me go back and say good-by to my family' (Luke 9:59-62).

But you know what Saul did when the Light came to Him as the Light that has also come to you long long time ago, when somebody told you about Jesus, which maybe you chose to run away from Him? Paul didn't choose to run away from God, but he considered all the mistakes he had done, he didn't eat and drink for 3 days. And after he spent several days with the disciples in Damascus, at once he began to preach in the synagogues that Jesus is the Son of God.

He preached everyday for whole his life, persecuted, stoned, prisoned, beaten, etc because of Jesus' name. Just imagine, my friends. What if Paul chose to stay in Antioch, stayed in the church there. He would never wrote so many wonderful letters. And His personal life with God will never be like what we read in the Bible. He didn't do that, he chose to move from town to town, to bring revival in every city he visited. He enjoyed labor for God, his relationship with God was the closest relationship among men in the new testament. God revealed so much to Paul. He even was taken to see the Paradise of God. God never forsaken him. Paul said, 'For me, to go on living is Christ, and to die is gain.'

He was satisfied because he has fulfilled his task given by God, he has endure so many hardship. He said to Timothy, 'For I am already being poured out like a drink offering, and the time has come for my departure. I have fought the good fight, I have finished my race. I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day -- and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing.

This kind of life really challenge me. This guy, Paul, was crazy for God, he loved God more than he loved himself, he didn't marry for fully serve God, he was so humble, he became slave for everybody for the sake of Gospel. He preached everyday, went to synagogue, He oppose Judaism directly, when there was a time for testimonies, he went to the front and preached, until he was kicked out from the town, but many got saved. Paul even said, 'Woe to me if I preach not the Gospel!

Another man who crazy for Christ. Charles Finney. He said, 'If I wasn't kicked out from the town, I must haven't preached.' He had the ability to shock both saint and sinner alike. He was radical in both his methods and his message, Finney was critized for almost everything except being boring. He gave up his Law profession in order to spread the Gospel, and soon he became the most moteworthy revivalist of the 19th century. It is estimated that over 250.000 souls were converted as a result of his preaching.

He was so close to God, he woke up early in the morning and prayed for all of his life. Because of his concecration, God's Spirit was inside him so much like fire. He never prepared any of his sermons. He prayed before that, and opened His Bible, quoted it and began to talk and every time he talked, those attendants became unsettle, the Spirit of God brought deep conviction onto them, they began to weep, to shout, to beg for mercy. No chance for those people to escape from God, either they repent at that time or went away from the church. There was a time when he visited a factory with hundreds people worked there, he didn't say anything, but the Spirit of God was inside him, all the workers there start crying. His concecration to God was so much. My friends, please don't try his methods of preaching, to preach without preparation, etc, unless you have the same concecration like him.

John Wesley, he raised up in very strict family, and he almost died when his house was under fire, just seconds after he was taken from the house, the roof collapsed. He studied in Oxford and formed Methodist group, who had strict rule based on holiness. But he was lack something practical about God until went to United States to become missionaris and met German Movarians on the ship, there he learned about the Gospel practically. His mission in United States can't be said success, he went back to England sadly. And not long after that, He encountered God, he received mighty anointing of Holy Ghost Baptism from God. He had great burden about his people's soul. He wanted to see God's hand in England. He started to go to open air and preach.

He also man of prayer. He woke up at 4 am every morning and prayed for hours. He did this for whole of his lifetime. He was persecuted even attacked by mobs. But God was with him. His burden in his heart about people's salvation, people's eternity was so much, he wrestled with God everyday through prayed for these lost souls. He didn't want any of them to perish. He labored so much for God, and God did honor him. Many got saved through his preaching.

John Knox, another man of God. He had great desire for his country, 'Give me Scotland or I die.' Just read his biography and you will see how God used this man for Him. The burden for souls is the key for becoming an effective preacher. He brought revival in Scotland, the same thing like Wesley did.

D.L. Moody, he was another Jesus fanatic, his past life was so painful. His father died young and left the family of 7 children penniless, but his mother was a godly woman, she raised him in strict dicipline. She brought little Moody to Sunday School, and once, his teacher came and preached to him. Without argument, Moody gave his life to Jesus. That was his starting point to be a mighty man of God. He started preaching to everybody in the town, he asked all the people he met, 'Are you Christian?' and once a man talked back to him, 'Mind your own business.' He answered, 'Sir, this is my business.' Then the man replied, 'You must be D.L. Moody.' He brought revival in US and England.

George Muller, he was a bad man. He lived in sinful and reckless living. He revolted against God, he did play card trick, habitual thief and an expert of cheating. His sin continued from bad to worse until somebody invited him to go to church and amazingly, he accepted that. That was a first beginning for another man of God. it seems all men used greatly of God must go through their Gethsemane. On June 22, 1835, Mrs Muller lost her father, then their 2 children was desperately ill. The son was died and because of that, the love of Mr. Muller for children was quickened.

He went to pray and pray, seek God until mighty anointing came upon him. He received His Holy Ghost Baptism. He then made a formal step to open an orphan house, he gave all his belonging into it while depending strongly to God to provide all the money needed. He labored so much, just within 2 or 3 months 26 orphans had been admitted. He was the men of prayer, he knew that God will provide them. Once there was a time, where the bill will just arrive in 10 minutes but he had no money, he went to pray and suddenly someone came and gave the money that was enough to pay the bill. The lady testified that she didn't know what's wrong with her, it looked like somebody told her to give the money, even though that money was her last penny.

Do you want to be like them? If you want to experience that, to have more of God's Power inside you, to make you always in fire. You need to be ready first. If you still have eagerness for riches, woman, pride, or self-seeking, etc, it will bring no good. You will just put your eternity in danger. The more you closer to God, the more you need to be afraid of Him. He is a jealous God, He could even take away your loved one just to make you closer to Him, like He did to Ezekiel. You need to greatly depend on Him.

Ezekiel 24:15-17

Also the word of the LORD came to me, saying, Son of man, behold, I take away from you the desire of your eyes with a stroke: yet neither shall you mourn nor weep, neither shall your tears run down. Forbear to cry, make no mourning for the dead, bind the tire of your head on you, and put on your shoes on your feet, and cover not your lips, and eat not the bread of men.

Luke 14:26

If anyone comes to me and does not hate his father, mother, wife, children, brothers, and sisters, as well as his own life, he can't be my disciple

The first important thing is that you need to seek to know God more and more, ask Him to give you His mighty anointing, Holy Ghost Baptism. As I always said before in my articles, before you received Holy Spirit fully, you need to be sanctified. Then, when God see that you are ready, His will give you Power, gifts of Holy Spirit to support His works. He is a Masterplan, He will not give something to His child that can cause danger to his child's life. The child need to be mature enough before He gave him responsibility. If you want to be used by God mightily, prepare yourself.

The second one is: Start increasing the burden in your heart about lost souls. Maybe for other people, everybody has their own freewill, but for you, they must give their life to Jesus. You don't want to go to heaven alone. If you see your family, your relatives, your friends, you will not just stay quiet but start preaching the Gospel to them. Be faithful in the very little, and God will give you a lot.

The third one is: Be a prayer warrior. No man of God I mentioned above had not prayful life. Most of them woke up early in the morning, 4 am, and pray and pray and pray until something happen. They wrestled with God, just like Jacob with angel, he will not let God go unless He blessed him. John Knox said, 'Give me Scotland or I die.' You can't be men of God, men who change the world without having prayful life.

The fourth one is: Don't think about dying. Being martyr is the last option. Plead with God, why He must sustain your life. Say to Him that your ministry still need you. Always depend on Him. He will take care of you. God added 15 more years to Hezekiah (Isaiah 38:5).

The fifty one is: Allow the Holy Spirit to move according to His way. If you think that Holy Spirit must come to this way or that way, being skeptical, narrow minded. Stop hoping that He will manifest to you. Gospel of Christ is new wine, and Judaism, Law of Moses (10 Commandments) and other traditions (Sacred Tradition, etc) are the old wine. You can't fit the Gospel into your life if you still strongly hold into your tradition, skeptical mind.

Luke 5:37

And no one pours new wine into old wineskins. If he does, the new wine will make the skins burst, the wine will be spilled, and the skins will be ruined.

The sixth one is: You should quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry. Always believe that there is order in God's presence, because God is not a God of disorder but of peace. Humble yourselves before the Lord and He will lift you up. If you never want to listen to somebody else, already think that you are Mr/Mrs Know-all. Believe me, if you can't be under submission and listen to other men of God, nobody want to be under your submission too. Learn from Jesus, He washed His disciples' feet. The higher God raised you, the more humble you should be. Not like those people who like to go with their wide phylacteries and long tassel, who traveled from country to country with Love and Peace message, last 2 month in US, last month in Australia, they like to be respected but never washed other's feet. They were called 'Father', but they even don't know the name of their children. Remember, quick to listen and slow to speak and slow to become angry.

And the last but not least: Be Jesus fanatic, who can shout on the top of your roof. Repent of die. Believe that the Bible stands. Don't compromise to any doctrine or teachings of men, but depend only to God to teach you.

1 John 2:27

But the anointing which you have received of him stays in you, and you need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teaches you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it has taught you, you shall abide in him.

Alvin, you have something wrong with your brain.

Alvin, your brain need to be fixed. You turned your Bible upside down. I can't understand you at all. You talking rubbish.

My friends, I admit that I am crazy, I am crazy for God. If you call me fanatic, I would say, 'Yes, I am Jesus fanatic.' So what? Your mockery, your harsh words, I considered it as a compliment. I am blessed because of you.

Matthew 5:10

Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

John 15:20

Remember the word that I said to you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also.

2 Timothy 3:12

Yes, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution

Actually, I never had in mind that I would be like this. I myself even amazed. My ambition, my dream, my enjoyment, my mind, everything start anew. I am a new creature. I am now addicted to God. The more I know God, the more I love Him and the less I am thinking about myself. I strongly depend on Him, He is awesome God, and He is faithful. The best moment in my life is when I came closer to Him, His Presence make me melt, I am broken before Him, I was like in heaven. He is so real. I want to always dwell in His Glory. I am longing to be in heaven, but I still have task to do. And you know what? It gives me so much joy doing it.

Let me share you my personal thing. When I graduated from Bachelor. I had so much joy, but not long after that, problem come whether I need to look for job or continue to Master. I chose the later. Then, after I was accepted in Germany, again, I had so much joy, but not long after that, problem came again, I need to struggle to graduate from here. It continues and I believe that, after I got the degree, I will be happy too, but then, what? New problems will come. I need to look for job or do something else. After I find job, raise family, grow old, then die. Is that life that I need to enjoy? I can't enjoy this kind of life, for me, it just like animal's life. Being born, live, and die and everyday just the same, full of problems, wake up early in the morning, doing daily activity, sleep in the late night, and continue till I die. Life seems boring, without hope, without vision, without satisfaction. Nothing last forever outside Jesus. That enjoyment was only momentary. Human can never be satisfy. I know this for sure.

But since God gave me His task, specially designed for me. Even the little things I did for Him, gave me so much joy. Every progress I made, I have joy in my heart, because I know that God is exalted, because I know that I am fulfilling my ministry for Him, because I know that I am doing God's work, because I know, if God is with me, who is my enemy? NONE. I am not struggling for Christ, living my Christian life gave me so much pleasure. No matter what people will say about me, I really care less, I just want to stay as long as possible in this mood, this joy, this peace of God.

  • The more difficult the task, the more I rejoice in my heart, because it makes me strongly depend on Him and He is faithful God, He never forsaken me, but help me in everything.
  • The more difficult the task, just make Him Presence closer to me, and if you closer and closer to me, His Glory overwhelm me. So wonderful, my friends. I wish that you can have the same thing, I talked to you based on my experience.

So, if you haven't got it, instead of being skeptical, it would be much better for you to ask directly to God. Is this mad man, Alvin, said is true or not? Many can't understand what I said.

It happened because you never feel God's Presence, you are just having a form of godliness but denying its power (2 Timothy 3:5). You think that you are genuine born again, which in fact, you are still sinner, have not been children of God yet. I have been in that position before, I know what I am talking about.

If you want to be in heaven or at least, feel the glimpse of heaven like Peter, James and John had when they wanted to build 3 tents and stayed there as long as possible, you should check your life. Please think about these questions:

  • Do you know that In heaven we will praise and worship God all the times? Do you feel that praise and worship God is so difficult, no joy in your heart? If you feel like that, I think you will be the most miserable person in heaven? I can see that many people can't sing and worship God in joy, can't express theirselves onto God.
  • How about having fellowship with other believers? Do you find it is difficult to accept differences among you? You will be rejected by God because you didn't love your brothers and sisters. Heaven is Holy Place, there will not be any strife, dispute, you must love each other. I can see that many people focus so much on races, culture, tradition, they won't interact with people outside their community. You will prohibit your family member to marry from another tribe or race. Don't think that you will be in heaven, my friends.
  • Do your prayers seem not to reach up to heaven or always stuck on the ceiling of your room? Do you know that praying is like breathing? Bible says 'Pray without cease (1 The 5:17). If you don't have communication with God, you will not be in heaven, because in father-child relationship, there must be contacts, you know His mind and He knows your heart. I can see many people can't pray, after 30 seconds, they lost their words.
  • Do reading Bible seem difficult for you? Bible is Word of God, if a child never listen or difficult to know what his Father said, how can he please His Father? I can see many people can't read Bible for more than 2 Chapters a day.
  • Have you not been diciplined by God, been sanctified? If you are have not, you are illigitimate child. No Father wants His child go astray. I can see many Christian behave worse than unbelievers. No dicipline at all.
  • Can you keep doing His will and stop sinning? Have your sinful nature changed? You must not continue your old habit any longer, because your spirit is stronger than your flesh. This Spirit is God's grace, it is not because our might, but because of God, we need to ask this grace more and more. I can see many people make a strict rules for themselves to make them holier, they will even punish themselves if failed, but it isn't like that. If you are born again, you are new creature, your nature change, your new body hates sinning, you will find that sins is something unbearable. You don't need to struggle for that as long as God's grace upon you. And this grace was given to those who ask and have strong bond with God.
  • And when you know you did something bad, you know that your heart will always be unsettle, you need to ask God's forgiveness and stop doing it so that your heart will be back in peace, day by day you become more perfected, your bad behaviour, characters were cut off my God through sanctification. Your target is holiness, without stain, wrinkle, or any other blemish, but holy and blameless for God is holy. And then, God's Holy Spirit will dwell inside you fully.
  • You will be able to do something that you can't do before. You will be able to cast away demons, do healing, do prophecy, speak in different tongues, etc according to the Gifts of Holy Spirit. You need to move from your present level higher and higher. Living Christian life is practical, don't easily be settle with your condition right now. The more you closer to God, the more joy in your heart. Move forward, get more nice time with God, you will be addicted to Him, He will take care everything for you. Your career, your future, your whole life. Depend strongly on Him.

If you haven't experienced that, no wonder why you think that I am crazy. We live in different world, my friends. I have been called out of the world, you still live in the world. So, I really understand where you are, I have been there too, I also was like you, called people who love God, nerd, mad, etc. I realized that being skeptical bring no good. I have put aside that critical mind, skeptical mind and humble myself before God. You know what? He came to me and open my eyes of understanding. So, my friends, you need to start moving, don't be too defensive, open your heart to God, He will surely come. Why you are afraid of being deceived? Why you called me false teacher, false prophet, playing God, etc? I just sharing my personal experience in hope that you will feel the same thing like me. I guide you, It look as if I walked with you together until we find a crossroad, left or right. I can't accompany you any longer, you have to make your decision. The road you choose will just between you and God. Salvation is personal, living Christian life is optional, take it or leave it. It is only between you and God, who will deceive you then? God?

My friends, I challenge you this: If you can find a person who can testify that after knowing Jesus, or rather being known by Him, he chose to backslide to go on his own way and could testify that his life is happier than before. I would give all of my money to those who can testify like that. Without Jesus, you will only find vanity, emptiness. That's my belief, so if you can prove otherwise, I will give you everything that I have.

For me, God is faithful, and I know that He will take care of me. I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me (Galatians 2:20).

Many people think that I am crazy, and after read my confession above, they would think that I even more crazy than they could imagine.

I believe that Bible is the Word of God. And that accusation, persecution, etc are not new to those who believe in God. I even think vice versa. Those who are ashamed of this Gospel, of Jesus' name, who can't stand and say on the top of the roof, I am big fan of Jesus, they must be not really genuine born again Christian. I said one more time. They must be not genuine born again Christian. Want the Bible verse to proof my statement, read this verse very well.

2 Timothy 3:12

Yes, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution

Sorry, my friends, I just state the fact, you think I am crazy, I rejoice, you think I am correct, peace be with you. I have nothing to lose. You will never read again my blogs, good, my pearl are too precious for you, I am teaching myself; you keep reading my blog, good, hope it bless you. I just think how to please my God, not men.

Persecution has started long ago, it started since Cain killed Abel. Those who persecute the righteous are children of darkness. It happen because of they are jealous. They want to be honored by God, but they can't get it. You want something but don't get it. You kill and covet, but you can't have what you want. You quarrel and fight. You do not have, because you do not ask God. When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures (James 4:2-3).

Many people mock me, Alvin, are you saint? You always talk about holiness, stop sinning, etc.

My friends, I can only answer, I am not a saint, I am human being, who has been born again. God's Spirit is inside me. Spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. There is a time where my spirit got weak because of my relationship was disturbed, it is easier for me to turn away from His Gospel, but because of that, I knew that I can only maintain to live in holiness, not because of my might, but because of God's grace. He is the one who gave me strength. Bible said, if Christ is in you, your body is dead because of sin, yet your spirit is alive because of righteousness. Those who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.

Paul had experience being persecuted too, and he gave me so much courage through His letters.

Acts 26:24

As he continued to make his defense, Festus shouted, “You're out of your mind, Paul! Too much education is driving you crazy!”

I would declare that I am not insane and I am also not stupid. I am a Chemical Engineering Master student in Germany. Do you think a fool could do what I do? It is because I experience how my burdens were taken away from me, and I find peace that I always looking for during my quest. I felt God's hand in my life, in many ways, why should I not share it with you? I am just leading you to Christ through my experience, just like someone led me to Christ before. What I freely get, I should freely give. If you still insist that I am a foolish man.

1 Corinthians 1:18-21

For the message about the cross is nonsense to those who are being destroyed, but it is God's power to us who are being saved. For it is written, “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the intelligence of the intelligent I will reject.” Where is the wise person? Where is the scholar? Where is the philosopher of this age? God has turned the wisdom of the world into nonsense, hasn't he? For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not know God, God decided through the nonsense of our preaching to save those who believe.

Do you believe in my nonsense, my friends?
