🌿 Reflection Themes

• Faith in Action: Jonathan trusted God and acted boldly, showing that true freedom comes from obedience and courage in Him.
My Reflection:
Dear Love, in Reading 1 Samuel 14. I see here that Jonathan acted in faith, like you said, and in the grace of God. But his father, Saul, he displayed jealousy, he displayed legalism because he was the one who called for a fast so that they win against the battle, right? But just because his son did not follow him in his legalistic way, he wanted his son dead, even though Jonathan won the battle for him and the rest of the Israelites. And for me, I believe that Saul is already very superior. He's showing signs of superiority, that he doesn't want to be outshined by anybody, not even his son. So, in this passage, I already see red flags with Saul. So there is a contrast between acting in faith and acting in works, because when we act in faith, then we rest in the finished works of Christ. But with Saul, he acted out of work, out of legalism, and for this, God is really not pleased with Saul.

• Truth in Opposition: Jesus spoke with authority even when leaders opposed Him, reminding us to stand firm in truth.
My Reflection:
Love, so in John 7, I see here in verse 31 that the crowd believed Jesus, who is the chosen one of God, because of the signs that he has done. So just like today, I believe that those who believe in you and me are the ones who don't know us, strangers. People who have not seen us or known us personally. Just as Jesus experienced, the crowd will believe in him, but the Pharisees will be envious of what the crowd is saying about you and me. Okay? So, this is really what's happening already in our lives because we are truly following what the Lord Jesus is doing. We're following what he is saying. We're following his orders, and not everybody follows the Lord. So those who are only following out of their own flesh, their own will, out of legalism, not out of grace, they will really fall out of the truth. And this is where I believe that the scriptures say the elect will be deceived, because many are elected. Elected, but they are not chosen because their hearts and their works are not complete before God. Okay. So that's why you really have to be strong and continue to speak the truth of the Lord. In verse 33, Jesus said, "I am still with you a little while, and then I will be going to him who sent me." And for me, love, this really applies to me. I'll be with the ones who know me here for a little while because I'll be going to you, with you, wherever you go, and they will be looking for me, but they cannot go where I am going. See how rhema, how the words of God are really speaking to me and about my life, how it's become parallel to what Jesus has lived. Now I am also living, which you are also living. So the Jews will say to one another, "Where is the man that we may go and find him?" So there's going to be dispersion among the Gentiles and the Jews. In here, in my version, recovery version, it says the Greeks. They're trying to decipher what it means when Jesus said, "You will seek me, but you will not find me," because this will be happening during the time that Jesus, when he is resurrected from the dead. They will try to find him, but it's too late, because in the beginning, they did not believe him. It's not because they don't have faith, but because of their pride, because of their hypocrisy, because they don't want to be outshined. Because so many people are doing ministry for themselves, really, not for the Lord. It's really for themselves, for the glory. This is what I really noticed in people. So Jesus is saying, "If anyone thirst, let them come to me and drink. He who believes into me, out of his innermost being shall flow rivers of living water." Wow. I praise God. I praise God for the rivers of living water flowing out of you and me and out of all the others who are truly coming to Jesus, who are truly believing and trusting in Jesus and in the finished works of Christ, not of their own works, not out of their own legalism. For this is what he said concerning the Spirit, whom those who believe into him were about to receive, for the Spirit was not yet because Jesus had not yet been glorified. Okay. Like me, I'm still here. The Spirit will not yet come to those who are waiting, because they want to wait for that sign where I will be taken already by you. Faithless, it's a faithless and evil generation that we are in right now. Some of the crowd, therefore, when they heard these words said, "This is truly a prophet." So many people will testify that we are prophets, that we are the chosen ones. But then they will also say, "Why are they coming from the Arab world? Why is coming from a Catholic nation, from a Babylonian nation? Should be coming from Israel, no?" Because they cannot understand what the scriptures are saying because of their pride. They have these fogs and logs in their eyes. They cannot see the revelation of God when they read the word because they are exalting themselves more than God. And so that's why God has not chosen them.So this is an argument, verse 42 argument. "Oh, he's supposed to come from Bethlehem. Why Galilee?" It's all about minute things. If they search the scripture, which they should have, but they didn't because right away they dismissed The Christ. Close-mindedness. Okay? That's why there's going to be division among the people that know us. Okay. And even people who are sent to destroy us will not be able to do so. Verse 46, even those people sent to destroy us will tell their masters, "Never has a man spoken as this man has." They will testify that, and they will say, "We cannot arrest him because of the authority that comes out of his mouth." And so the rulers of this present age, the prince of the air, rulers of the prince of the air, such as the Pharisees in verse 48. They're going to be questioning the chosen ones of God. They're going to say, "Oh, the crowd do not know because they don't read the Bible like us." But leaders who are humble, like Nicodemus, will be the one to stand up for us and say, "We cannot condemn a man unless we first hear from him and knows what he is doing. We cannot just judge them." So we need our Nicodemuses to rise up as well. And not just our spiritual children, but Nicodemuses who are in our social media, who are connected to us somehow, to rise up and say the right thing at the right time. And then the Pharisees are going to say, "Oh, you're also from Galilee. That's why you side with him." Ay nako. These people, the Pharisees, the enemies of Jesus. These will be our very enemies in the end of times, love. That's why we really have to not be discouraged. We already have to expect the evil coming out of religious sects, out of the religions of the world, the leaders. Because these people, they don't really live for God. And if they're going to be killed for their faith, they will not lay down their lives for Jesus. I know it because so many people, they only talk their talk, but they do not walk their talk. I know so. Around me are so many hypocrites. Around me are so many false prophets, false teachers, self-proclaimed pastors who ordained themselves for the sake of profit, for the sake of livelihood. And I really pray for those who are truly loving the Lord, that they be Nicodemuses, that they will stand up for the truth. Not because they know us, but because they know the Spirit of God that lives in us. Amen.

• Justice and Deliverance: The psalmist’s cry shows that God hears the oppressed and will vindicate His people.
My reflection:
He's really talking about the justice of God to those who are oppressing his people. Excuse me, love. And I feel this so many times, this prayer. I can relate to this so many times, but I never would want anyone to live a short life. I don't wish for that unless they are really wicked. And I feel sorry, verse nine, for their children, because they will be orphans, their wives widows, and their children wander all about and beg. The curse is coming to the children, and the children don't know what their parents or ancestors are doing. They do not know the sins they committed against God. And this is really why I'm praying that God will vindicate the children and be kind to the orphans. I don't want what David prayed, unless the children are evil like them, because not all children become like their parents. And most of the time, evil parents produce really righteous children. That's what you are. Because God wants to show the world, God wants to deal with your father, your Dracula father, and show him that you are the truth, that Jesus is the truth, that you are carrying the truth. But he loved evil more than the truth. That's why he disowned you. That's why he will kill so many Jews, because he is believing his father of lies, that chicken ala king, that so many Muslims believe. "In the generation following, may his name be blotted out." Oh, my goodness. "May his father's iniquity be remembered before Jehovah, and may his mother's sin not be blotted out." Wow, David's prayer is so strong. But I feel so pitiful and mercy towards their children who do not know, who did not do what their parents have done. But I know that God is just, and he will not allow all children to suffer. But the children who are following the Lord will be redeemed, will be rescued, will be vindicated, and that is what God is going to do with me. Hallelujah. Thank you, Lord. Verse 16 says, "Because he did not remember to show loving kindness, but persecuted the poor and the needy and brokenhearted, to put them to death. Indeed, he loved cursing, so it came on him, and he took no delight in blessing, so it was far from him. And he clothed himself with cursing like his garment." Wow, this is really like witchcraft. You know that I left the church because so many witches are there, white witches. And I tried to explain this to the pastor and his wife, because I love the leaders of our church. But I understand that they cannot just cast out these white witches who are praying evil prayers against the people of God. Okay. But the church will be dying because of these white witches. Who are these white witches? They are people in church who are used by the enemy to kill the saints of God, to kill the children of God. And when you pray against somebody, you're already used by the devil. And if you read right now Psalms 109, this is like David's cursing the evil. Does that make him a witch? No. It makes him a judge, a prophet, just as what I am now. Some people, they see me, and especially that white witch in church, whose name is Rhian, she see me as a witch, because honestly, she is really the witch. She's anti-Muslim, she's critical of the church and our leaders, and she's praying against people. She tried to greet me in Telegram. I did not reply to her anymore. What have I to do with you, white witch? Already in the past, I warned you, gently warning her, of what she's doing, why I don't want to be friends with her anymore. But she's so superior that she would even mistreat me. And my friend, Mingai, already saw that she mistreated me. That's why nobody wants to befriend her, because she wants to be the leader of a church. And I feel sorry for my pastors who tolerate her, maybe because she really manipulated the leaders of the church so that my pastors are afraid toconfront her and deal with her. And I'm praying for the younger generation, my sons, Gershom and Gabriel, to really rise up with their wives and all the children, the true children of light in that church, to rise up against the evil, confront and cast them out of the church, because the church will die because of these weeds growing in the garden of God. So in verse-- I don't want to keep reading about how David is really bringing judgment to the wicked, because sometimes the wicked are really in your family, in your church family, in your blood family. You know how hard it is that you would curse your own family. But she did it. My mom, she tried to break apart the union of David and Kim. She spoke against it. And you know what happened, love? The time that David decided to really obey the Lord Jesus Christ to marry Kim, my other brother, Dean, suffered from eczema for five months while David was preparing his wedding with her. He was suffering eczema. And so my mom cannot pray against David and Kim. She had to refocus her prayers on Dean's healing. You know? And this really, I speak the truth. I really speak the truth. I'm not afraid, and I'm not going to hide anymore what I know and what I've seen, because for the sake of many people who are going to be listening and reading my book, reading our stories, for the sake of the salvation of others, for the opening of their eyes, for the healing in their hearts to happen. If I have to expose even my own family, I will do it. I'm not just exposing them, I'm exposing me and what I was, because I came from this family that Jezebels are ruling and making Ahabs out of every house in this city. Ghost town, Sogbo, always what I call this place. Verse 21, "But you, O Jehovah Lord, deal with me. For your name's sake, because your loving kindness is good, deliver me. For I am poor and needy, and my heart is wounded within me." Oh, love, this is really me. This is really us. "I am gone like a shadow that declines. I am shaken off like the locust." Wow. "My knees wobble through fasting, and my flesh has become lean without fatness. I have also become a reproach to them. When they see me, they shake their head. Help me, O Jehovah. Help us, O Jehovah our God. Save us according to your loving kindness." This is my prayer for us, love. "That they will know that this is your hand, that it is you, O Yahuwah, who have done it. Let them curse, but you bless. When they arise, they will be put to shame, and your servants will rejoice. Our adversaries will be clothed with humiliation, and may they wrap themselves with their own shame as with a mantle." Wow. "I will give much thanks to Yahuwah with our mouths, and in the midst of the multitude we will praise our God and King. For he stands at the right hand of the needy to save him from those who judge his soul." In the name of Yeshua. Amen. Thank you, God. Hallelujah.

• Wisdom vs. Folly: Proverbs reminds us that wisdom is life-giving, while folly destroys.

It’s in the recording but it’s not written something wrong Love
