Hello!!!!!!!! 😊
I was born on 29th July 1971 and brought up in church, but when I was about six years old, because I wanted to find out how the universe started, I went to the town library and read science text books. So I blindly believed the big bang theory and the theory of evolution. So, when I subsequently heard in Sunday school, that Jesus Christ died for our sins on a cross to give us entrance into heaven, I thought to myself, "It is a lie" and I chose to go my own way. At university, I studied science, and when I did the experiments, obviously, I got graphs with lots of points on them. But I realized, that, in between any two points, there was an infinite amount of missing points on the graphs, for which there was absolutely NO evidence!!!!!!! 😊
So, if you had an infinite brain, you could fit an infinite number of theories to the evidence, because there are an infinite number of points that are MISSING from the evidence required to support ANY theory!!!!!!! 😊
So, clearly, scientific theory was complete speculation!!!!!! 😊
I also started to reason through my faith in atheism: one possible avenue I thought about going down (once I graduated) was to get a job that would make me a lot of money, because many think that having a lot of money is a road to success and happiness. But I thought, there are millionaires who have committed suicide, so clearly, having lots of money does not GUARANTEE happiness. So, I thought, perhaps I could make money, and use it to support me in other pursuits. I could have a wife and children .... but she could leave, or the children could grow up delinquent, so clearly, that does not GUARANTEE happiness. I could have houses, cars, clothes or anything, but again, they do not GUARANTEE happiness. I realised that, as an atheist, there was NOTHING that I could do that GUARANTEES happiness.
At that time, I decided to go out to Sri Lanka on holiday, and the son-in-law of one of my mum's school friends, called Ranmal, invited me to a church family camp, and I decided to go. At the camp, a lady called Michelle, prayed in my presence, "Thank-you GOD for bringing Johann from England to Sri Lanka"!!!!!!! 😊 I perceived that this prayer was FAR above relativistic quantum mechanics and anything I could understand, because I had chosen to buy an air-ticket and go to Sri Lanka, but she was thanking GOD, that HE had brought me!!!!!!! 😊 Another lady at the camp called Menaka also wrote to me about her conversion: she said that she was brought up in a Christian family and had always gone to church, but when she was about thirteen years old, she went on a church camp, and one of the preachers had said, "Coming from a Christian family or going to church does not make you a Christian, just as living in a garage does not make you a car!!!!!! 😊 You have to have Jesus in your heart to be a Christian"!!!!!!! 😊 Menaka said that she did not understand what this meant, so she asked GOD to explain it to her. He showed her Jesus, and she said, that now, she lives her life by the power of the Holy Spirit!!!!!!!! 😊 And I thought, "What on earth does it mean to live your life by the power of the Holy Spirit?"!!!!!!!! 😊 But it is interesting, isn't it? In conversation, Menaka also said, "Don't store up for yourself treasures on Earth, Johann, store up treasures in HEAVEN"!!!!!!! 😊 I did not say anything, but I thought, "WHERE is heaven, and HOW can you POSSIBLY store up treasures in heaven?"
About a year later, after I had successfully finished my degree, I returned to Sri Lanka, and decided to read the New Testament with an open mind, specifically with the question, "Is this GOD's book?" for obviously, IF there is a GOD, who is all powerful, all knowing and who absolutely loves me, then, by definition, he MUST have a perfect plan for my life that GUARANTEES amazing everlasting blessings!!!!!!! 😊 At this time, Menaka's sister's husband, James, took me out to lunch and shared his faith with me. It was clear to me that James believed in Jesus, and when he said, "What about the miracles?" I conceded in my heart that they could be true, and as I listened carefully to him, the Holy Spirit used one thing he said to open my heart to eternal life, namely, "The disciples all ran away in the garden of Gethsemane"!!!!!!! 😊 I thought over this point, because we know from history that most of the disciples of Jesus Christ CHOSE to die TERRIBLE deaths, rather than give up their faith in Jesus, so they obviously had an amazing faith. But in their own accounts, in the garden of Gethsemane, they all ran away, so clearly, they had NO faith then, they got scared, and ran away. Then Jesus is cruelly mistreated, crucified and killed, and in just about 50 days later, on the day of Pentecost, Peter and the apostles get up in central Jerusalem and preach to thousands of Jews, that this Jesus, whom you crucified, is risen from the dead!!!!!!! 😊 So I realised that the ONLY explanation for this incredible change from terrible fear to an amazing boldness in just about 50 days, must be, that their accounts of how they had handled Jesus after he rose from the dead, ate with Jesus after he rose from the dead and talked with Jesus after he rose from the dead, MUST be true!!!!!!! 😊 So I believed that Jesus Christ is risen from the dead and alive forevermore, and at about 10pm, as I was going to sleep at my mum's cousin's house in Gregory's Road in Colombo (I am not sure of the exact date, but it was probably the 19th of July 1993) I said to Jesus, "If you give me a life, I will give my life back to you"!!!!!!! 😊 And obviously, he gave me super-abundant overflowing life, so I devoted every moment of my life to HIM!!!!!!! 😊
I plucked up courage, and prepared a little speech to announce to as many churches in Colombo as I could, about how I had become a Christian!!!!!!! 😊 And I had the amazing opportunity to share this at about six or seven church meetings. Then I returned to England in October and continued to pray hard, study the bible, sing and praise GOD and attend the local church. I was heart-broken about all the things that I had done that caused GOD SO much pain, and I was SO thankful to JESUS, that he CHOSE to carry my sins to Calvary and crucify them there for me!!!!!!! 😊 As far as I could, I apologised and made amends with all those that I had sinned against, financially or in any way I could!!!!!!!!!! 😊 Obviously, there were certain sins in my life that I had a lot of trouble overcoming, so I asked my special Christian friends to pray specifically for me, and by GOD's amazingly wonderful grace, he gave me strength to conquer them as I followed HIM constantly!!!!!!! 😊 Repentance is SO wonderful, isn't it? Because it draws us SO CLOSE to GOD, doesn't it? 😊 And in the presence of GOD is FULNESS OF JOY, and at his right hand are incredible pleasures FOREVERMORE!!!!!!!!!!! 😊 I understood that GOD, who put the stars in place and created everything, in just six days, must have an ability to think, that is infinitely greater than mine, so obviously, he is infinitely better at running my life, than I could ever be!!!!!!!! 😊 And I realised that selfishness, arrogance, laziness, immorality, and any sort of sin, cut me off from the amazingly wonderful blessings of GOD, and that if I am not absolutely and completely devoted to JESUS, I would be leaving a tiny hole for the devil to enter my heart. And IF I let the devil in, he would slowly rob all my joy and peace, and step by step destroy me and my faith, and I would end up in hell! So I made vows to let Jesus run my life with me, deny myself, take up my cross and follow him every moment of every day for all my life, by HIS amazingly wonderful grace that is in me, by constant faith in JESUS Christ, the Son of the Most high GOD!!!!!! 😊
I invited ALL my friends and family to my baptism in March 1994, where I publicly declared that I had decided to give my life to JESUS, and instant by instant FOLLOW him ALL the days of my life, wherever and however he would lead and teach me!!!!!!! 😊
One day, as I was walking down the footpath between 482 and 483 Bideford Green towards Grasmere Way, I was reading "I want to KNOW Jesus, the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of his sufferings, so that I may be conformable to his death, and somehow attain to the resurrection of the dead" which I immediately prayed out to GOD as hard as I could, and begged him to let me KNOW JESUS, the power of HIS resurrection and the fellowship of HIS sufferings!!!!!!! 😊 I also repeatedly sang a wonderful spiritual song with the lyrics, "Just poured out wine, just broken bread!!!!!!! 😊 My life I give, OTHERS to bless!!!!!!! 😊 Shed blood and tears, and suffer loss!!!!!!! 😊 And WIN the prize and LOVE the Lord!!!!!!! 😊"
I had a terrible problem with fear when I first became a Christian, especially with telling people in every day conversation that JESUS loves them. So I sought the Lord diligently and in the early summer of 1994, almost a year after I became a Christian, I was with one of the ladies from church and her two young sons in the Leighton Buzzard park. When we were leaving, she was wheeling her youngest son in a push-chair in front of me, so when she went round a corner, for a few moments, I was walking alone with her other son, who must have been about six years old at the time. So I summoned up all my courage and I said to him, "Joey, JESUS LOVES you!!!!!!! 😊" And I felt like running away!!!!!! 😊 Fear is completely irrational, for even if he got angry or upset, there was no way he could harm me because he was so much smaller than me!!!!!!! 😊 But I did not run away, and the peace of GOD filled my heart!!!!!!! 😊
In February 1995, I came across a Sunday magazine, which had details about the Tamil Tigers in Sri Lanka. On the front cover was a picture of three teenage soldiers with their cyanide capsules around their necks, marching in line and carrying combat rifles, under the beautiful palm trees and blue skies of Sri Lanka. The boy in the front looked JUST LIKE ME, and my heart broke and I was in floods of tears for about a week, because they were clearly marching in line to eternal condemnation in the lake of fire, but MY JESUS, whom I absolutely LOVE SO much, had nails hammered through his hands and feet for THEM!!!!!!! 😊 The next day, I went to church, and the quote on the News Sheet was, "ALL who call on the name of the Lord SHALL be saved!!!!!! 😊 But HOW can they call on him, if they have NOT believed? And HOW can they believe, if they have NOT heard? And HOW can they hear, unless SOMEBODY preaches to them? And HOW can they preach unless they are sent?" So I cried out to GOD urgently, pleading with him and begging him every day, to SEND ME!!!!!!! 😊
So I bought an air-ticket and got on a plane to Sri Lanka on 1st August 1995, knowing that they do burn down church buildings there and murder some Christians, and I did not plan to come back to England (except, perhaps, in a coffin!!!!!!!! 😊) I knew very little Sinhalese when I got there, and no Tamil, so I prayed hard for GOD to teach me!!!!! 😊 I soon learnt enough Sinhalese to ask somebody their name, and then say, "Jesus Christ loves" (their name) "so please give him your heart, your sins, your problems and your diseases!!!!!!!! 😊 Would you like to?" So my main tactic was to hire taxis when I was going somewhere, and pray madly for the driver as we went, and when I got out to pay, I would preach this, and if they were willing, I prayed over them in tongues!!!!!!! 😊 And many said, "Yes!!!!!!!! 😊"
One day that month, I went near the old parliament in Colombo, and there was some sort of political demonstration outside it, and I prayed, "Please Lord, lead me to at least one person whom you would like to save, for me to preach to"!!!!!!! 😊 So I walked past the old parliament and turned right down the next road, and met some taxi drivers opposite the Hilton Hotel. I started telling them in my best Sinhalese about Jesus!!!!!!! 😊 I sensed that one of the drivers, named Anura Perera (same surname as me) was open to hear, but I was unable to explain the good news adequately to him in Sinhalese. So GOD gave me an idea: I hired him in his taxi and took him to see a Christian friend of mine called Sylvester, who is fluent in English and Sinhalese, who was working in a Christian book shop in Colpetty (Colombo 3). So Sylvester translated for me, and when I asked Anura whether he would like to accept JESUS into his heart, he said, "Yes!!!!!!!! 😊" So we laid hands on Anura and prayed for him, and Sylvester told me afterwards that Anura said that when we prayed for him, he felt like he was being lifted up and up and up and up!!!!!!! 😊 Praise GOD!!!!!!! 😊
About that time, GOD spoke to me and said, "Please go to Kandy on the afternoon train"!!!!!!!!!! 😊 So I departed, but when I got to the station in Colombo, all the tickets were sold out. So I prayed really hard and a random man approached me and said, "Are you trying to get on the afternoon train?" I said, "Yes!" So he said, "Why don't you ask the station-master, to find out whether he has a spare ticket?" So I went into the station and found the station-master's office, and just as I got there, he was coming out of his office!!!!!!! 😊 So I asked him, "Are you the station-master?" He said, "Yes 😊" and I asked him whether he had a spare ticket for the afternoon train. He said, "You are extremely lucky because some of my relatives asked me to reserve four tickets for the afternoon train, but now they only need three, so you can have one!!!!!!!!! 😊" I could not get my mind around how GOD had caused these people to order four tickets when they only needed three, and orchestrated everything to get me a ticket!!!!!!! 😊 So I gave the station-master the money for the ticket, boarded the train (each ticket is assigned to a specific seat) and sat with his relatives. One was a young lady called Rohendrika. She spoke English and listened carefully as I spent the three hour train journey telling her all about just how amazingly wonderful my JESUS is!!!!!!! 😊
Another day, I again went up to Kandy on the afternoon train, and just prayed like mad all the way up. When I got there, I stood outside the entrance of the station and continued praying like mad. A homeless man came over to me, after a while, and when he heard me tell him that JESUS heals, he told me that he had a pain in his right shoulder so that he could not lift his arm high. So I offered to pray for him, and he agreed. I put my right hand on his head and my left on his right shoulder and prayed earnestly in tongues for about ten minutes. Then the power of God came and he fell to the floor in a seated position. A few minutes later, he got up and said that the pain had moved from his shoulder to his fore-arm. So I prayed again, the pain completely left, and he lifted his arm high and his face was full of great joy!!!!!!! 😊 There was also a Christian lady there who was homeless because her husband had thrown her out, and she said, "Let's pray for everyone in this area, because the people here have many problems"!!!!!!! 😊 So we closed our eyes and prayed aloud for a few minutes, and when we looked up, there was a crowd of about twenty or thirty people gathered around us!!!!!!! 😊 So I seized the opportunity, and said in my best Sinhalese, "JESUS Christ loves you all very much, so please give him your heart, your sins, your problems and your diseases!!!!!!!! 😊 Would you like to?" and ran out of Sinhalese!!!!!!! 😊 A man in the crowd called Sugath said, "Speak to us in English and I will translate for you into Sinhalese"!!!!!!! 😊 So I preached my best sermon, and he translated!!!!!!! 😊 When I had finished, I went over to him and said, "GOD is speaking, listen to him!!!!!!! 😊" I met Sugath again at a prayer meeting in central Kandy about three years later when he had just given his heart to the Lord!!!!!!! 😊 Amen!!!!!!! 😊
I moved up from Colombo to Kandy on November 1st 1995. I had an amazing desire to learn to play the guitar to praise and worship the Lord with, and about this time, a brother called Dilaine, showed me a few simple chords and how to tune one. Around this time, the war in Jaffna was terrible, so the church called a fast, and there was a guitar there, so with the chords Dilaine showed me, I wrote a song (song number 13) with the lyrics: "You can see the madness. You can feel the torture. You can feel the bullet CRUCIFYING your life." For our Jesus died an awful death on a cross to undo all the madness, torture and evils of war. And we all wept for Jaffna. And of course, I begged my Jesus to send me!!!!!!! 😊 There was a church sale at the end of 1995, so I gave everything away (including a pile of amazing worship CDs and all (apart from one) of my bibles, which was VERY hard to part with) except for a few clothes. I also closed my bank accounts a few months later, and gave the money away to poor people I knew, which is by FAR, the best decision I have ever made, because it made me completely available to GOD, and HIS will!!!!!!! 😊 And of course, if you do HIS will, he will bring you out into a wonderful land FULL of all sorts of amazing blessings, as he has planned, though of course, we do go through many persecutions for our faith to refine our hearts, first!!!!!!! 😊 Because I often did not have money for the bus, I walked miles to prayer meetings, and sometimes there was a very strong temptation to grumble because the bus fare into town was only two rupees in those days, which was less than three pence!!!!!!!!!! 😊 But GOD blessed me immensely though my obedience, because, one day, as I was on the way to a prayer meeting in Hantana (which is a mountain on the other side of Kandy, from where I was staying) I was walking down a road (which I would not have been walking along if I was on a bus!!!!!!! 😊) behind the Kandy market in central Kandy, and I saw a man lying by the side of the road. Immediately the words, "Good Samaritan" came into my mind, and I cancelled my prayer meeting (obviously, I had no mobile phone, or any way to tell others at the meeting that I was not coming, but it was cancelled) and I went and stood by the man and just prayed silently, and very earnestly for him. After about half an hour, he looked up, and we started talking. His name is Premadasa, which literally means, "love-slave"!!!!!!!!! 😊 Good name, isn't it? Obviously, the reason WHY he was lying there, was because he had too much alcohol to drink, even though it was only about five in the afternoon, so I asked him where he lived, and if he had money for the bus for both of us (which he did) and I took him home!!!!!!! 😊 He gave me to eat, and over dinner, he told me that his life was a dog's life. He said that he was really glad to meet me, and he said that he was confident that things would pick up for him, because he had met me!!!!!!! 😊 I told him that if you light a lamp, you do not hide it under a table nor under a bed, but you put it on its stand!!!!!!! 😊 By this time, the buses had stopped running, so he put me up for the night and in the morning I went on my merry way!!!!!!! 😊
I had a very romantic idea (of course, not in any sexual way) of just throwing myself into the arms of the Lord, and trusting him to catch me!!!!!!! 😊 My opportunity arose in April 1996, when there was a wedding in Colombo!!!!!!! 😊 The Kandy church was invited, so I went with a brother called Vinod!!!!!!! 😊 After the wedding ceremony, we had no place to stay, but a lovely brother called Palitha asked us, "Do you have anywhere to stay?" And we said, "No." So he said, "You may both stay with me at my mum's place"!!!!!!! 😊 So we stayed overnight with Palitha, and in the morning, Vinod returned to Kandy, and I decided to follow the Lord, praying hard, all around Colpetty (Colombo 3) with no money and just a small bag with a few clothes and my pocket bible. As I journeyed with the Spirit, I met a taxi driver called Gamini, and started talking with him. He could not believe that I had no money, so I showed him my empty pockets, and said that he could check my bag if he liked. And of course, I told him all about our wonderful Jesus, and when I concluded with, "Jesus rose from the dead", he walked off. He came back about ten minutes later and handed me a ten rupee note and said, "Get a drink"!!!!!!!! 😊 So I bought a drink and drank it!!!!!!! 😊 Then I met a beggar dressed in rags called Nayana. She also could not believe that I had no money, until I showed her my empty pockets. She was delighted to hear me speaking in my broken Sinhalese, and she tried to teach me a few words!!!!!!! 😊 Then she said, "Would you like something to eat?" I was amazed and said, "Yes"!!!!!!! 😊 So she took me to a food shop and bought me a couple of small sponge cakes, and I ate!!!!!!!!! 😊 In the evening, I knew a brother who lived in that area, so I stayed overnight with him. In the morning, I opened my bible randomly, and it fell on the verse, "David left the supplies and RAN to the army!!!!!!! 😊" The brother said that he was going to Batticaloa, so he could not house me. So I left, wearing a pair of shorts, a tee-shirt (underwear, of course), sandals and I had a comb and a handkerchief in my pocket. I even left my bible behind!!!!!!! 😊 And, as I travelled with the Spirit, I went past the YMCA (young men's Christian association) so I concluded that GOD would send a young man to look after me!!!!!!! 😊 The Spirit led me to a playing field somewhere in Colpetty, and I spent the day there, praying hard, and building my faith, especially through a song which had the words, "my GOD shall supply all your needs, according to his riches in glory!!!!!!!!! 😊" So I trusted GOD to look after me!!!!!!! 😊 In the afternoon, the Spirit led me to a king coconut tree which had a ripe coconut on it, and amazingly enough (most coconuts on king coconut trees are FAR too high to reach) I could easily reach it and pluck it!!!!!!! 😊 But of course, I had no tool to open it with, but even more amazingly enough, behind the tree, there was a spiked iron railing, so I was able to make an opening in the coconut with a spike, and DRINK!!!!!!! 😊 In the evening, the Spirit led me to a group of young men who were smoking something that smelled like they probably shouldn't be smoking. So I told them all, that Jesus loves them very much and he died on a cross to forgive us our sins, but rose again from the dead three days later, and I sang for them. Then everything was out of my hands, and in GOD's!!!!!!! 😊 They asked where I was staying, so I said, "In Kandy" and they started to discuss with themselves what to do with me, since I had no money or a place to stay. One asked, "If we just told you to go away, what would you do?" I had no answer for that. Another said, "If we put you in a taxi and sent you to the station and gave you some money, could you catch the night train to Kandy?" Again, I had no answer for that. Finally, a young man called Jackson, who was a Christian said, "Johann can stay with me!!!!!!! 😊" He very lovingly asked me whether I had eaten that day, and when he found out that I had not, he took me to a night restaurant and fed me!!!!!!! 😊 He gave me a bed to sleep on, and he even had his own shower room, so I had a shower and slept!!!!!!! 😊 In the morning, he told me about certain specific sins that he was struggling with, and asked me to pray for him!!!!!! 😊 Of course, I was delighted to pray for these requests, so I laid hands on him and prayed earnestly over him!!!!!!! 😊 He bought me breakfast, and then I went on my merry way!!!!!!! 😊 Job done!!!!!!! 😊
My father came to Sri Lanka in May 1996, and he took me to a man who believed that he was a psychiatrist!!!!!!! 😊 Obviously, I do not believe in medical science because GOD is the only true doctor and HE heals by the blood of JESUS which is applied by the PRAYERS of his saints and their powerful WORD!!!!!!! 😊 But I was happy to see this man who claimed to be a psychiatrist, so that I could introduce him (if he would like) to the amazingly wonderful Lord Jesus Christ!!!!!!!!! 😊 So I met him regularly, and in November 1998, he asked me whether I would like to go to his hospital, saying that I could pray for the patients there!!!!!! 😊 I agreed, and he asked me whether I would take tablets, so I said, "No"!!!!!!! 😊 He said, "We might have to inject you"!!!!!! 😊 So I was admitted to the acute psychiatric disorders unit (ward 6) in Peradeniya teaching hospital on Sunday 29th November 1998!!!!!!! 😊 The admissions lady (who also thought that she was a psychiatrist) interviewed me, and then she wrote in English on her report (I could read it upside-down) "Absolutely no insight at all"!!!!!!! 😊 So I went around preaching to, and praying for all the residents, but the staff took me, tied me up to a bed and injected me!!!!!! 😊 The drugs tortured my soul!!!!!!! 😊 There were pulses of pain coming into my ankles where they had tied me up, all night long, and I was extremely thirsty!!!!!!! 😊 The bed was right by the door to the showers and toilets, so I could hear water dripping ALL NIGHT, and just longed for one drop on my tongue to relieve my thirst!!!!!!! 😊 Of course, I did not sleep!!!!!!! 😊 They tied me up again the second night to a different bed, so I did not sleep again!!!!!!! 😊 But in the morning, on the third day, two lovely sisters came to visit me, bringing a yellow towel for me .... which gave courage for me, for GOD gives complete victory in the storm, and I trusted GOD to USE the storms to greatly increase my faith, and I knew that GOD would also USE the storms to blow me EXACTLY where HE wanted me to go!!!!!!! 😊
The first admission was only about a month, but they injected me by force at home, so my soul was tortured for YEARS!!!!!!! 😊 Sometimes, I was so afflicted that I did not have strength to speak!!!!!!! 😊 I spent many (not just ten or twenty) whole nights in prayer, resisting the drug-induced fears, depression and torment!!!!!!! 😊 One week, I prayed all Sunday, all Sunday night and all Monday and slept Monday night!!!!!!! 😊 Then I prayed all Tuesday, all Tuesday night, and all Wednesday and slept Wednesday night!!!!!!! 😊 Then I prayed all Thursday, all Thursday night and all Friday!!!!!!! 😊 Friday evening, I was praying really hard, but falling asleep on my feet and trying to stay awake, in my room, near the bottom of my bed. The next thing I knew, I was waking up UNDER the bed-sheets on Saturday morning!!!!!!!!! 😊 Obviously, if I had just fallen asleep on my feet and fallen, there is no way that I would have ended up UNDER the bed-sheets, so I concluded that the Lord had sent his angel and put me to sleep!!!!!!! 😊 Which was obviously, very nice of him!!!!!!! 😊
In February 2001, there was a lot of trouble in the country, so the church called a fast, simply saying, "Fast as the Holy Spirit leads you"!!!!!!! 😊 So I started fasting, and did not eat at all, day or night, but I did drink every other day. The thirst was killing for a little while, until I read Isaiah, "They thirsted NOT when he led them through the deserts: he caused the waters to flow out of the rock for them"!!!!!!! 😊 And also the words of Jesus: "My flesh is food indeed and my blood is drink indeed" sustained me!!!!!!! 😊 On the fortieth day, I went to a prayer meeting, and I could not believe my ears: brother Dominic said to brother Palitha, "You know that Jesus fasted for forty days in the wilderness?" Palitha said, "Yes"!!!!!!! 😊 "Well" Dominic continued, "It does NOT say that he broke fast, does it?" I was amazed because clearly, GOD was directing me to fast for more than forty days!!!!!!! 😊 On the fiftieth day, during the night, I woke up feeling a little hungry, so I went to the kitchen and spotted a pan!!!!!! 😊 I said to the Lord, "If there is food in the pan, I will break my fast" for obviously, nobody leaves food out overnight in Sri Lanka, because it is hot, and the food would go off. But there was some lovely fish curry in the pan, so I ate it with some bread and finished the fast!!!!!!! 😊 Then I remembered that in 1996, my father had taken me to a Christian brother, who prayed over me and had said that the Lord says, "Fast for seven Fridays"!!!!!!! 😊 I had started the fast on a Friday, and obviously, the fiftieth day was the seventh Friday!!!!!!! 😊 I did fast a lot in Sri Lanka because it greatly strengthened my faith to fight against the torment the drugs were afflicting me with!!!!!!! 😊
I met a lovely brother called Chrishantha one day, who attended another church in Kandy, which I had never been to. He said that another brother had said to him, "Johann is a FOOL to leave England and a Cambridge degree to come and tell the poor in Sri Lanka that Jesus loves them"!!!!!! 😊 Chrishantha told me that he replied to that brother, "Whose fool are YOU?"!!!!!!! 😊 Brilliant answer, isn't it? For we can either be a "fool" for Christ (which is ACTUALLY being amazingly wise) or we can be a fool for the devil!!!!!!! 😊
I met a very beautiful young Christian lady at a prayer meeting in Kandy, and had a nice conversation with her, but she said, "IF you shave your beard, I will come and visit you". I did not say anything, and obviously, I was NOT going to shave, but I thought later about WHY she might want me to shave? Obviously, she desired to destroy my manhood, so that she could dominate our friendship.
Just before my second admission to Peradeniya, a brother from America visited us, and he let me use a portable CD player, and play a CD of his, and listen to it on head-phones!!!!!!! 😊 Two of the songs on the CD just blew me apart, they were so, so, so good!!!!!!! 😊 They had the lyrics, "I lift my eyes up, to the mountains, where does my help come from? My help comes from YOU, MAKER of heaven, creator of the earth!!!!!!! 😊" and "Father of lights, you delight in your children!!!!!!! 😊 Father of lights, you NEVER change, you have no turning!!!!!!! 😊 And every good and perfect gift comes from you!!!!!!! 😊" I listened to the songs, over and over again, for about a day, just being incredibly blessed!!!!!!!! 😊 This prepared me for Peradeniya number two!!!!!! 😊 I was in again for about a month, and one day, I can remember thinking, "I am certified by the professionals as MAD, and locked up in a Mental Hospital ... I can't GET any lower ..... the ONLY way is UP"!!!!!!! 😊
One day, I decided to get on a bus and go to a village called Udathallavinna (which means "upper sesame garden") which is about half an hour or so from Kandy!!!!!!! 😊 I got down from the bus about four stops from the village centre and started walking towards the town, telling the people quietly that Jesus loves them!!!!!! 😊 I had a bible with me, with, "For GOD loved the world so much, that he GAVE his one and only Son that whoever constantly believes in him shall not perish, but have eternal life" written in Tamil, in the front!!!!!!! 😊 So, as opportunity arose, I showed them this phrase to read!!!!!!! 😊 Three youths took offense to my words, and told me to leave the area. Since I had spent all my money to pay for the bus fare to get there, they gave me a little money and put me on the next bus which was heading towards Udathallavinna!!!!!!! 😊 I just got down at the next stop and continued speaking to the people!!!!!!! 😊 But they caught up with me, and marched me into the village saying, "We are taking you to Muslim country"!!!!!!! 😊 When we got to the village, an angry crowd of maybe twenty or thirty men gathered around me, saying all sorts of things to each other in Tamil (so I did not understand)!!!!!!! 😊 Then someone shouted to me in Sinhalese, "Shall we crucify you?" I said, "No thanks"!!!!!!! 😊 Then someone else shouted to me (again in Sinhalese) "Shall we cut your legs off?" Again I said, "No thanks"!!!!!!! 😊 I started to lose my composure a little, so I cried out to the Lord in my heart, "help"!!!!!!!! 😊 And as soon as I did, somebody cried out in Sinhalese, "Can you sing for us?"!!!!!!! 😊 GREAT!!!!!!! 😊 I knew some amazing spiritual songs in Tamil, so I started to sing one, but it started with the word, "JESUS" so they all immediately booed me!!!!!!!! 😊 Then they escorted me to the bus-stop without using force (and as I was going, one of the shop keepers was there, and I pointed at the Tamil words in the front of my bible, which I think he read) and they put me on the bus heading back to Kandy, which just happened to be the same bus that the three youths originally put me on, coming back!!!!!!! 😊 And you won't believe this one, a Christian sister ALSO, who happened to know me and lived in that area, GOT on the same bus!!!!!!! 😊 She held my hand, which strengthened me in the Lord!!!!!!! 😊
A Tamil brother from Colombo came up to Kandy to speak to us in English about an amazing story!!!!!!! 😊 He said, that for a long time, he had prayed to the Lord for him to send someone to the war-torn parts in the north of Sri Lanka to preach the everlasting gospel!!!!!!!! 😊 Finally, one day, GOD simply said to him, "You go"!!!!!!! 😊 So he sold up everything in Colombo and moved to somewhere in the war zone, and opened a church!!!!!!! 😊 Because he visited Colombo about once a year, the Tamil Tigers were curious about WHY, so they sent a girl soldier to spy on him!!!!!!! 😊 Obviously, she heard the amazingly wonderful news of Jesus, and became a Christian!!!!!!!! 😊 So she went and told all her brothers (who were also Tigers) about Jesus, and they all accepted GOD, and left the army!!!!!!! 😊 Wow!!!!!!! 😊
In March 2005, GOD sent a brother from Colombo to see me, and during our conversation, he said, "Johann, I think that you are hiding from something"!!!!!!!! 😊 I thought about it, and I realised that I was hiding from suffering!!!!!!!!! 😊 And at that time, GOD gave me a little song with the lyrics, "To live is Christ and to DIE is gain!!!!!!!!! 😊 I can NOT lose!!!!!!! 😊" A few days later, I was admitted for Peradeniya three!!!!!!! 😊 On the ward, I met a young man called Mohana Raj, who whole-heartedly received my words: "Jesus Christ loves you forever, so please give him your heart and receive HIS heart"!!!!!!! 😊 He kept praying, "Jesus, I give you my heart!!!!!!! 😊 Please give me YOUR heart!!!!!!! 😊" One day, he was coming out of the shower and toilet area, CRYING .... tears were literally flowing down his cheeks. So I asked, "What's up?" He said, "I just had ONE drag on a cigarette. WILL JESUS FORGIVE me?" I also started crying and said, "JESUS is so, so, so holy .... so it is incredibly DIFFICULT for him to forgive you .... but THANKS be to GOD .... HE bore OUR sins in HIS body on the cross, and he HAS forgiven us!!!!!!! 😊" So we prayed, and GOD restored Mohana and he was forgiven!!!!!!! 😊 And he vowed to NEVER (by GOD's amazingly wonderful grace) to touch a cigarette again!!!!!!!!!! 😊 He had obviously become a Christian (but unfortunately, whoever designed the ward, overlooked to install a baptismal pool) so we baptized him in the showers with a bucket of water!!!!!!!!! 😊 There was also a resident called James, who was in a really terrible state: most of the time he was tied to a bed, and when they released him, he scrabbled around on the floor, and put things in his mouth. So Mohana and I prayed for him daily (and of course, many other prayers too) and after a while, when he was tied up, he started shouting, "I will NOT die!!!!!!!!! 😊 I WILL live!!!!!!!!! 😊" over and over again!!!!!!!!! 😊 After a few days of this, he suddenly, miraculously got completely healed!!!!!!!!! 😊 When he was waiting to be discharged, I asked him, "Who healed you?" He immediately exclaimed, "The Lord JESUS"!!!!!!!!! 😊 Praise the Lord!!!!!!! 😊 One of the residents took offense to me praying over other residents (for I would tell all the residents that Jesus loves them, and IF they were willing, I would pray over them and most were willing) and he strictly commanded me NOT to pray for anyone!!!!!!!!! 😊 Of course, I completely ignored him, so as I was praying over a resident, he took me by the arm, and led me into the shower and toilet area where some of the residents were smoking. He took, a cigarette, and said to me, "I told you NOT to pray over anyone" and he moved the cigarette so the burning end just slightly touched the back of my left hand, so I shouted. He left a tiny, tiny, tiny scar, so if you got out your microscope, you would just be able to see it (and because I know where to look, I can usually, just about, see it). This did NOT deter me at all, for obviously, my JESUS had nine inch nails HAMMERED through his hands and feet for me, and HIS scars, we will ALL be able to clearly see on the last day!!!!!!!! 😊 Interestingly enough, he never said anything again, or tried to stop me again .... I think that he felt a bit guilty about what he had done!!!!!!!!! 😊 Another resident was an idolatrous priest, and one day, he said to me, "Bow down and worship me"!!!!!!! 😊 I answered and said, "NO way"!!!!!!! 😊 So he took hold of me, and forced me onto my knees before him, and said again, "Worship me"!!!!!!! 😊 And he clouted me on my head!!!!!!! 😊 So I answered and shouted, "Lord Jesus, bless" (his name) !!!!!! 😊 He kept clouting me and telling me to worship him, and I kept on replying the same way, so eventually, he gave up!!!!!!!! 😊 Obviously, almost everyone on the ward witnessed this, and one man commented that his god hits us, but Jesus loves us!!!!!!! 😊 For when you are broken bread and poured out wine for the Lord, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes, as he said, "DO THIS in remembrance of me"!!!!! 😊 And ALL men will SEE that you are his disciples!!!!!!! 😊
A brother from Hewa Heta (called Benedict) came to visit one of his relatives who was on the children's ward, which was next to ward 6. Someone there told him that there was a "bible-man" on ward 6!!!!!!! 😊 So he came to see me, and I just "happened" to be at the gate when he arrived. (He wasn't allowed in that day because his young son was with him and children are not allowed on the ward). So Benedict used to come and visit me daily for about fifteen minutes, and pray with me, which really strengthened me to carry on!!!!!!! 😊 He told me that he lived at Mooloya tea plantation in Hewa Heta, so I promised to visit him, if the Lord permitted!!!!!!! 😊 I was transferred to Sisila rehabilitation centre in Deltota on June 3rd 2005, and they read me all the rules!!!!!!! 😊 I understood that if I wanted to leave, I just needed to tell the staff, and they were supposed to discharge me within three days (Deltota was supposed to be entered voluntarily, but they do not keep the rules!!!!!!! 😊) So a couple of days later, I said to a nurse that I would like to leave!!!!!!! 😊 She said that I was not allowed to leave, so I asked her how long I had to stay, and she said, "Two months"!!!!!!! 😊 I had noticed that the unit was on the Hewa Heta road, and that the Hewa Heta bus went past!!!!!!! 😊 So I waited the two months (and a few days) and on Friday 12th August 2005, I crawled through the barbed wire fence (I don't know HOW my clothes didn't get snagged) in full view of one of the staff (if he just turned and looked, he would have seen me) and walked out, without looking back, and escaped to Benedict's house in Hewa Heta!!!!!!! 😊 Benedict welcomed me like an angel, and said that I was very "lucky" to catch him, because he was virtually always away with work!!!!!!!!! 😊 He gave me a little room to stay in, and introduced me to their church!!!!!!! 😊 They were extremely loving and shared ALL their possessions!!!!!!! 😊 But the day I escaped, happened to be the day that the foreign minister in Colombo was assassinated, so there was a type of curfew order in the country, so nobody was legally permitted to reside in any other district than their own, for more than three days. All my paper-work was with my grand-mother in Kandy, so I gave them my grand-mother's phone number and they called her!!!!!!! 😊 She contacted Sisila, and two staff came in a taxi to recall me!!!!!!!!! 😊 When I was "arrested" the church all wept for me, and promised to pray for me, and I was taken back to Sisila!!!!!!! 😊 We SANG all the way, a song that I had taught them!!!!!!! 😊 When I got back, instead of beating me (other residents who tried to escape were beaten) they asked me to PRAY for them!!!!!!!! 😊 So I prayed, and one of them, Azees (who told me later that he was the local mosque secretary) said, "I can also pray like that" and he started to pray to "the Lord" (of heaven)!!!!!!! 😊
A few days later, I was in the dining room and I could hear Azees praying in the kitchen, "Lord, please send Sathees with our salaries, right now"!!!!!!! 😊 (Sathees was another staff member, and that day, he was supposed to bring all the staff's salaries (in cash))!!!!!!! 😊 Azees came up out of the kitchen, passed me in the dining room and went out towards the office, and WHO was coming down the drive with the salaries? Sathees!!!!!!! 😊 One day, during the time for heavy rain, Azees asked me to pray for the rain to stop, because he was heading home on his motorbike, and he did not want to get wet!!!!!!! 😊 So I said, "The land needs the rain!!!!!!! 😊" So he said, "Well, let's ask the Lord to stop the rain for 30 minutes, while I go home, and then start it again!!!!!!!!!!! 😊" I thought, "The Lord is good, kind and very wonderful, who delights to do good things for his children", so I agreed!!!!!!! 😊 We went round behind the dining room and prayed hard for the rain to stop (for half an hour and then start again) and the rain stopped, Azees went home on his motorbike, and about half an hour later the rain started again!!!!!!!! 😊 Praise God!!!!!!! 😊
Deltota was tough: there were mosquitoes in the night, flies in the day, snakes, I saw one scorpion, horse-leeches, and every day I was assaulted (mainly by the staff, but also by some of the residents who were violent)!!!!!!! 😊 Deltota is in the hills and cold at night, so you need a blanket or a jumper, but sometimes the staff confiscated both my jumper and blanket, so I was so cold that I kept waking up at night!!!!!!! 😊 But far, far, far worse than all that, was the drug-induced terrors, afflictions and depressions and other affects that were torturing my soul!!!!!!!!! 😊 The effects were so bad that I sometimes could not control my tongue, and it would involuntarily come out!!!!!!! 😊 Sometimes, my tongue would stick to the roof of my mouth so that I could not speak properly, and on occasion, some of the staff, and even some of the residents would say in front of everyone, "Say, "Hallelujah" Johann" and I would say, "Haddedujah" or something like that, and they would all laugh at me!!!!!!! 😊 One day, the drugs were so bad, that I could not get my arms to work, so they fed me my dinner!!!!!!!! 😊 I read in a Sunday magazine when I was in Kandy, that some residents in one of the big Mental Hospitals in Sri Lanka, had actually DIED because of the side-effects of the drugs they were injected with; NOT an overdose; just the side-effects!!!!!!! 😊 In ward 6, the psychiatrist ordered my beard to be shaved off (WHY????) which they did, and in Deltota, they kept me shaved!!!!!!! 😊 The psychiatrist also confiscated my bible (WHY????) so I did not have one when I was transferred to Deltota, but at Deltota, one of the residents gave me a little booklet containing about thirty little extracts from the bible in Sinhalese, which was incredibly useful for my vocabulary in my preaching!!!!!!! 😊 I preached my heart out, and one day, one of the staff heard me saying, "If somebody strikes you on one cheek, turn the other"!!!!!!! 😊 A few days later, he came up to me and slapped me hard on one cheek, and said, "Turn the other"!!!!!!! 😊 So I turned the other, and he slapped the other, hard, saying, "Turn the other"!!!!!!! 😊 I turned again, which made him even madder, and he kept slapping me over and over again, until finally he took hold of my throat as IF to strangle me, shook me hard, and then walked off!!!!!!! 😊 Praise GOD!!!!!!! 😊
Late one night, two of the staff called me into their room, and started vehemently interrogating me to try and catch me out in my doctrine!!!!!!! 😊 When they couldn't, they confiscated ALL my clothes, and led me naked around the hospital (there was no-one else around) and I remembered the prophet Isaiah, who had ALL his clothes confiscated for three YEARS!!!!!!! 😊 Then they started assaulting me with umbrellas, and finally, one of them said, "Are you human? Don't you get angry?" I really wanted to reply, "I love you far too much to get angry", but I was so troubled that I did not have strength to speak!!!!!!! 😊 Praise GOD!!!!!!! 😊
Another of the staff was very strong, and had a very powerful grip!!!!!!!!! 😊 Sometimes, he would squeeze my hand SO hard, that the intense pain would make my eyes tear!!!!!!! 😊 But he was very amused with me, because every time he abused me, I would bless him with a loud voice with all sorts of blessings in Jesus' name!!!!!!! 😊 Praise GOD!!!!!!! 😊
I hate to lose at anything, because GOD has made us constant victors; and because I want to love my neighbour as myself, I would hate it if anyone would lose at anything!!!!!!! 😊 Therefore, I would hate to beat anyone at anything!!!!!!! 😊 Therefore, I do not take part in, nor watch any sport or competitive activity (for even if it is a draw, no-one wins, and I want everyone to constantly win)!!!!!!! 😊 The staff tried to force me to play cricket, so I stood at the non-strikers end with a bat in my hand. When my "partner" hit the ball and called for a run, I just did not move!!!!!!! 😊 So one of the staff clobbered me with a bat on my left arm, and bundled me down to the strikers end!!!!!!!! 😊 I just held the bat, and the bowler could see that I was not "ready" so he did not bowl!!!!!!! :) This incensed another of the staff, and he came running at me with a bat and swearing at me!!!!!!! 😊 I held my ground, and did not move, and the Spirit of the Lord came so close that I could perceive HIS glory, as it is written, "If you are persecuted for the name of Christ, you are amazingly blessed because the Spirit of GOD and of glory, RESTS on you"!!!!!!!!! 😊 He struck me with his bat, as hard as he could, on my back-side, and evicted me from the cricket pitch!!!!!!! 😊 I did feel a lot of pain, but when I got to the other side of the female residents' dormitory, I remembered the words of Jesus: "Incredibly blessed are you when you are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you!!!!!!! 😊 Leap and jump for JOY in that day, for GREAT is your reward in heaven!!!!!!! 😊" I must admit, that I did not feel much joy, just a lot of pain, but I was obedient, and started leaping and jumping and shouting for joy, and then GOD's incredible, inexpressible joy HIT me!!!!!!! 😊 Praise GOD!!!!!!! 😊
One of the residents went on a mad rant (mainly against the European colonists who brought Christianity to Sri Lanka (a few centuries ago) but also against GOD) every time I JUST mentioned the name of Jesus. He kept this up for many days, and finally, I said to him very kindly, "Please do repent before disaster overtakes you". And I stopped talking to him about Jesus, but continued to be extremely kind to him and to pray really hard for him, trusting GOD to lead him to Christ!!!!!!! 😊 But about a couple of months later, he contracted pneumonia, and DIED. I was heart-broken, so I went to GOD in prayer, asking very humbly, "why?" "Had I not prayed enough?", "Was there something else I should have done?" and GOD simply said, "That was his CHOICE". So, I concluded, that one reason why some people go and burn eternally in hell, is because GOD is love, and so he WILL NOT force anyone to come to heaven. If a young man loves a young lady and FORCES her to be intimate with him, this is an extremely terrible thing which we call rape. But if a young man, who loves a young virgin, untouched lady, woos her to him and she CHOOSES to be with him, this is a wonderful thing, which we call holy marriage!!!!!!!!! 😊 GOD is the perfect lover, so he will not rape anyone, nor force anyone to accept him and his ways, so if anyone CHOOSES not to accept Jesus, he LETS THEM. And the consequence, obviously, is that they cannot enter heaven and they have to burn eternally in the lake of fire, which is the second death.
One afternoon, I was crossing the courtyard between the office and the dining room. Somehow, a big branch had been left there, and I stubbed my left big toe on it, breaking the toe nail, which was obviously very painful!!!!!!! 😊 I cried out, "Thank you, Lord" and praised him, so the Holy Spirit came and comforted me!!!!!!! 😊 I know that some, when they are in pain, or stressed out, use bad language. This actually glorifies the devil and is worship to him, and results in sadness and other badness entering into their heart. So please do not use bad language, but be completely pure in what you say, so that you do not give a foothold for the devil to get into your heart and rob your peace and joy!!!!!!! 😊
You won't believe this, but one day; guess what I spotted in the DRUGS cupboard? A GUITAR!!!!!!! 😊 So I managed to get permission to play it, tuned it, and wrote a song (verse 1 of song number 72) with the lyrics, "I love you, Lord, and you love me!!!!!!! 😊 I love you Lord, and you really, really, really love me!!!!!!! 😊" which I used to sing a lot, as I got the opportunity!!!!!!! 😊
One day, one of the staff called Sunda-ruwan, gave me a piece of paper and a pen, and asked me very politely to write a list of all the good things about Sisila, and all the things I considered bad!!!!!!! 😊 So I wrote a whole page of about thirty wonderful reasons WHY Sisila is so, so, so good, and I could not find even one bad thing to complain about!!!!!!!!! 😊 This really strengthened my faith, because it is the will of GOD to overflow with thanksgiving for ALL things, but grumbling and complaining does NOT change the situation, does not help you or anyone else, and DESTOYS you!!!!!!! 😊 So far, I have never heard of a man who has just got married and his wife is pregnant saying, "Oh NO! My wife is pregnant, and is going to have morning sickness, be physically weak, have labour pains and be tortured in giving birth!" Have you? And we never hear the wife saying the same, do we? But what do they do? They TELL ALL their friends and relatives that they are going to have a baby, and CELEBRATE!!!!!!! 😊 Also, once the baby is born, I have NEVER heard of anyone saying to the new mother, "I am so sorry that you had morning sickness, was physically weak, had labour pains and was tortured in giving birth. You must have had a terrible time." But what do we all do? We CELEBRATE because a new born baby has arrived!!!!!!! 😊
At Deltota, the "psychiatrist" gave me the option of discharge at ANY time, IF I would agree to take tablets. But I understood from the scriptures, that IF I submitted to him and accepted his diagnosis that he so adamantly preached, then his word would take root in my heart and mind, I would become what he was proclaiming me to be, and so, actually become mentally ill, and so NEED to take tablets for the rest of my life to treat the illness he was trying so hard to give me. So, obviously, it was better to be tortured for a season at Deltota, stay faithful to my JESUS and have a sound mind, than to submit to him and lose my mind and salvation. And I knew that GOD would deliver me out of his hands at exactly the right time, and that GOD would use the fires of Deltota to purify my heart and make me holy (which I, O SO much wanted to be) and all my troubles would work amazing goodness for me by immensely increasing my faith, so that I may inherit ALL the amazing blessings my JESUS DIED for, for me to have!!!!!!! 😊 Praise GOD!!!!!!! 😊
In Deltota, I heard the terrible heart-breaking news that the daughter (whom I have met) of one of my father's friends (whom I also knew) had taken her own life. I was very distraught, so I prayed hard that GOD would send me from Deltota, on to Leighton Buzzard to spread as much joy, pure love and peace as GOD's amazingly wonderful grace in me could!!!!!!! 😊 So I arrived back in England on Sunday 29th October 2006!!!!!!! 😊 When I told people that Jesus loves them, many said, "I am an atheist" or, "I do not believe in GOD" and my usual reply to this was, "You may be an atheist and not believe in GOD, but HE still absolutely LOVES you!!!!!!! 😊" to which nobody in Leighton Buzzard had any reply!!!!!!! 😊 One day, I met a young man in North Street, and when he told me that he was an atheist (in response to my loving message that Jesus loves him) I said, "I have a friend called Sashi Kumar, who lives in Deltota!!!!!!! 😊 I have been to his house, met his wife, his brother Robert, his sister, his mum, his dad and his little son!!!!!!! 😊 I have eaten with him, drunk water with him and talked with him, and slept over at his house!!!!!!!!! 😊 Now, if I invited you to come with me to Sri Lanka (with all expenses paid by me) to visit him, and you said that you were an aSashi Kumarist, and you did not believe that he existed, so you were not going to come, I would just think that you are mad to say that, wouldn't you? And if you lived in the desert in a little hut by an oasis, so you drank and washed at the oasis, and you had never ever seen rain, and I came to visit you, and said, "I am from England, and something called RAIN often falls from the sky!!!!!!!!! 😊 Would you like to come with me to England to see the RAIN (I will pay all the expenses for the trip)?" but you said, "I am an aRAINist, and I don't believe in RAIN, so I am not coming!!!!!!!!! 😊" I would also think that you are mad, wouldn't you? Because everyone in England KNOWS that it RAINS!!!!!!!!! 😊 I love GOD, and I feast on his faithfulness, spend time with him in his house and love all his wonderful family, so IF you say to me that GOD does not exist, and that you think you are an atheist, I just think that you are not really an atheist, but just have not yet let GOD find you!!!!!!!" 😊
One day, a young man said to me, "Yohan, I don't believe in what I cannot see" so I responded, "I do not believe in what I cannot see either!!!!!!! 😊 I have never seen the big bang, have you? So I do not believe in the big bang theory, and I have never seen fish change into frogs, and frogs jump out of ponds and turn into sheep, have you? So I do not believe in the theory of evolution either!!!!!!!" 😊
One common question on the streets of Leighton Buzzard was, “since GOD created everything to be good, WHY is it a sin to smoke cannabis or do drugs?” Well, this is a bit of a pointed question, for GOD did make everything EXTREMELY good IN THE BEGINNING, but when Adam sinned and ate from the forbidden tree, Death entered the world and corrupted certain parts of GOD’s creation, which is why we sweat and why there are poison trees. So it IS a sin to smoke cannabis or do drugs, because these are selfish past-times and HARM the body, which is the temple of the Holy Spirit!!!!!!! 😊
Another common question on the streets of Leighton Buzzard was, “IF GOD loves us, WHY does he permit natural disasters and wars?” Well, the reason WHY there are natural disasters is because GOD is LOVE, SO HE LETS man sin!!!!!!!!! 😊 He gives man FREE will, to do evil or good!!!!!!!!! 😊 So things like over-farming, deforestation and the extinction of the dodo UPSET the earth’s finely balanced ecosystem which CAUSES natural disasters, and obviously, wars are due to man’s sin!!!!!!! 😊
When I was in Hewa Heta with two brothers, we saw a man walking towards us who seemed to be heavily under the influence of alcohol. I was about to preach to him, but the two brothers with me stopped me, saying that he would not be able to understand anything I said, so there was no point speaking to him. When I was in Leighton Buzzard late one Friday or Saturday night, I met a young lady in one of the food shops in the Lake Street area, who also seemed to have had quite a few alcoholic drinks that night. I started speaking with her, and found out that she had the same name as a wonderful bible character, so after finding out that she did not even know that she had the same name as this wonderful bible character, I read the words that this amazing bible character had actually spoken, to her!!!!!!! 😊 I met this same young lady, not just a day or two later, but about a WHOLE MONTH later, in the High Street near the Barclay's bank, and I asked her whether she could remember the bible quote. To my amazement, she IMMEDIATELY quoted it back to me, BETTER than I could remember it!!!!!!!!!! 😊 So, just because somebody is drunk, or on drugs, or with friends who may mock them if they made a decision for JESUS, or in WHATEVER circumstances, the Word of GOD is very, very powerful and can touch ANYONE!!!!!!!!! 😊 And also, please do not think that ANYONE is closed to the gospel JUST because they SAY that they are an atheist or of another religion .... you can NOT tell who is open to GOD!!!!!!! 😊 When I was at university, some of my friends said (on occasion) that they had been bible bashed. When asked, I told everyone that I was an atheist, because, in my heart I believed that there was no God. BUT in my mind, I reasoned that I could NOT PROVE that there is no God. So questions that trouble many atheists, like, "if there is an all-powerful, all-loving God, why are there wars, so much suffering and natural disasters?" because IF God exists, the whole idea of God is that he is FAR above our understanding, so he would have a good reason for wars, suffering and natural disasters!!!!!!!!!!! 😊 [Obviously, the reason GOD permits wars, suffering and natural disasters is because GOD is LOVE, so he will NEVER force anyone to do what is right, so wars, suffering and natural disasters are all due to the sin of humans. (The earth's ecosystem is extremely finely balanced, so things like over-farming, deforestation and extinction of certain animals (which is ALL due to human greed) produce natural disasters)] So I wondered WHY I was never "bible bashed" because I was very open to listening about GOD!!!!!!! 😊 You could bible bash me ALL day long, and I would just listen. MAYBE the reason nobody bible bashed me was because I was doing subjects like theoretical physics and said that I was an atheist? So PLEASE talk to EVERONE about the fact that JESUS Christ LOVES us forever, as JESUS leads and guides you by the Holy Spirit who LIVES inside you, because we simply can NOT tell who may be open to GOD!!!!!!! 😊
When I was at university, I thought that I knew pretty much everything I needed to know: I was very arrogant in my heart. When I went to Sri Lanka and started to learn Sinhalese, GOD started to show me just how THICK I am!!!!!!!!!! 😊 I thought that Sinhalese would be the same as English with the words changed. So, if I wanted to say, "I am going to Kandy, tomorrow" there would be a word for "I", a word for "am", a word for "going", a word for "to", a word for "Kandy", and a word for "tomorrow" and they would all be spoken in the same order!!!!!!!!!! :) But, actually, in Sinhalese, you just say, "tomorrow, Kandy going"!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😊 And, obviously, more complicated sentences are structured completely differently!!!!!!! 😊 So I am amazingly THICK, EVEN though I have a degree in theoretical physics from Cambridge University!!!!!!!!!! 😊 I cannot even think anywhere near as fast as a computer, can I? A computer can search through millions of websites in a search in just a few seconds ... I could NOT even BEGIN to think that fast!!!!!!!!!! 😊 BUT GOD thinks infinitely faster than the fastest computer, for he KNOWS what everyone will say, do and even THINK, even BEFORE the start of creation!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😊 He has CALLED you by name BEFORE the STARS were put in place!!!!!!!!!! 😊 He KNOWS you, cares for you, LOVES you and has amazing plans for you!!!!!!!!!! 😊 Praise GOD!!!!!!! 😊
The second law of thermodynamics says that the level of disorder in any system either stays the same or becomes more disordered over time. So there is a possibility that a glass on a table (more ordered) can fall off & smash into many little pieces (more disordered) [so the gravitational potential energy is converted into kinetic energy which smashes the glass on impact with the floor and increases the disorder of that system] but a load of little pieces of glass on the floor cannot somehow un-smash themselves into a whole glass & use that energy to jump back onto the table (however much the sun shines on them)!!!!!!! 😊 In the same way, a load of disordered chemicals in a primeval sea will never assemble themselves into fish or any other aquatic animals (however much the sun shines on them) thus annulling & opposing the theory of evolution (which tries to have us believe that we have "evolved" from monkeys or apes which evolved from ... what? Frogs?)
I lived with a friend of mine called Michael in Stanbridge Road for a while, and one day, when he was out, I decided to tidy up the house and vacuum clean it!!!!!!! 😊 Then I wrote a humorous letter saying, "Dearly beloved Michael, I just got back into your house and I noticed that it had been tidied up and vacuum cleaned, and I was wondering, HOW? I think that it must be that inverse-robbers have broken into your house, tidied it up, vacuum cleaned it and broken back out!!!!!!! 😊 Then I got a call from Charles Darwin saying, "No, Yohan, it is not inverse-robbers!!!!!!! 😊 What happened is that millions of years ago there was a huge explosion in your house, and over time, all the dust randomly got vacuumed up, and the house randomly tidied"!!!!!!! 😊 But I did not believe him!!!!!!!" 😊
If evolution is true, and we have all evolved from monkeys, then out of the billions of people on the earth, there should be at least one billion people with tails, shouldn't there? And every human from every nation is able to learn English, but you cannot teach even ONE monkey English!!!!!!! 😊 One of my friends told me that scientists claim that monkeys have 98% of the same DNA as humans (HOW they know this, nobody knows)!!!!!!! :) My mobile telephone number is +447459073020, but if you dial +447459073002 (which has 100% of the SAME DNA, just the last two digits re-arranged) then you will NEVER be able to contact me, but get a completely DIFFERENT number!!!!!!! 😊 So even if the scientists' claim that monkeys have 98% of the same DNA as humans, is true, it does NOT mean that monkeys are like humans!!!!!!!!!! 😊 And GOD said that HE created each animal species according to their KINDS: the fish and the birds on the fifth day, and the animals and the humans on day six, SO WE KNOW and are SURE that the theory of evolution can NOT be true!!!!!!! 😊
What came first? The chicken or the egg? Well, obviously, the first egg had to come from the first chicken, so obviously, GOD MUST have created the first chicken, which he did on day five!!!!!!!!! 😊 He spoke to the earth, and the earth brought forth the first chicken on the fifth day!!!!!!!!! 😊 You can NOT have half an egg, can you? The first chick MUST HAVE come from the first WHOLE egg, since you can’t get a chick from half an egg or three quarters of an egg or even 99% of an egg!!!!!!! 😊 So the first egg MUST have been laid by the first chicken, so the first chicken (which laid the first egg) did NOT grow from a chick (since it had NO mother to feed it and nurture it) but was CREATED by GOD as a fully grown chicken on the fifth day!!!!!!! 😊 The first man, Adam, was CREATED as a fully grown man, because, obviously, he had no mother to breast feed him and nurture him!!!!!!! 😊 And, obviously, he had NO belly button!!!!!!! 😊 I have heard of a fair couple who had a child who was very dark!!!!!!! 😊 Initially, the husband thought that his wife had cheated on him, but they checked out their ancestry, and found out that an ancestor was of African origin, so the dark skin had been passed down in the genes, even though all the rest of the family was very fair!!!!!!! 😊 Likewise, ALL the genes for EVERYONE in the whole world (Chinese, Indian, European, African and EVERYONE) were in Adam and Eve!!!!!!!!! 😊
Apparently, there are over 45,000 known species of spiders, but on Noah’s ark, there would have just been one spider family, and all the present day species are MUTANTS of the original spider family!!!!!!!!!!!! 😊 The bible ALSO states the GOD created all the dinosaurs, stating simply, that on the sixth day, GOD created ALL the animals which does include the dinosaurs!!!!!!!!! 😊 So there would have been baby dinosaurs of Noah’s ark!!!!!!!!!!! 😊 Dinosaurs became extinct because of climate change, or maybe they were hunted to extinction, but we still have elephants (which are small dinosaurs) and aquatic dinosaurs (whales and sharks)!!!!!!!!! 😊
Simple mathematics says that zero plus zero is ZERO!!!!!!! 😊 So IF you start with NOTHING and add NOTHING, you get NOTHING, NOT a big bang!!!!!!!!! 😊 The big bang theory claims that there was a big bang (who made that big bang, nobody knows) and therefore, all the planets in our solar system have condensed out of the same stuff. If this is true, then by the conservation of angular momentum, all the planets would rotate around the sun in the same direction (which they do) and all the planets would also rotate on their axes the same way. But Venus rotates in retrograde!!!!!!! 😊😊 Venus rotates on its axis in the opposite direction to the other planets!!!!!!! 😊 Of course, if Venus had had a huge collision with another planet sized object, then its angular momentum could be greatly changed, but then, also, its linear momentum would be greatly changed (by conservation of linear momentum) so there is no way it would still be orbiting the sun in a similar shaped orbit in the same direction as the other planets. And if Venus had come into the solar system from elsewhere, then its orbit would be extremely elliptical (like the comets). So we see that the fact that Venus rotates in retrograde prohibits and annuls the big bang theory by conservation of angular momentum!!!!!!! 😊
Geologists have measured the speed that continental plates move (in recent decades) and measured the width of the Atlantic Ocean, and concluded that the Atlantic Ocean started to be formed about 65 MILLION years ago!!!!!!!!! 😊 If I throw a ball and about a minute later, it is rolling extremely slowly on a very flat surface, and you take many measurements of how fast the ball is moving (over a few seconds when it has nearly stopped) and from this speed, and the distance I am away from the ball, you calculate that I threw the ball 50 YEARS ago, this clearly is NOT true!!!!!!! 😊 God tells us through Moses, that the Atlantic Ocean started to form when the earth was divided, during the days of a man called Peleg (who was Noah's great, great, great grand-son) who lived about four thousand years ago!!!!!!! 😊 So, obviously, when the continental plates started to separate, they initially sprang apart quickly when the earth divided, but, of course, now, they are evenly distributed across the world, so they hardly move!!!!!!! 😊
The South Pole is always greatly below freezing: the highest recorded temperature ever is -12 degrees Celsius and the usual high in the summer is about -26 degrees Celsius so all the snow that lands there just piles up!!!!!!!! 😊 There is about 3,000 feet of ice at the South Pole which corresponds to the bible account of the Antarctica arriving there during the days of Peleg!!!!!!! 😊 Please don't believe this millions of years theory because if the Antarctica had been down there for millions of years, there would be millions of feet of ice on it!!!!!!!! 😊 So please don't just blindly believe in science!!!!!!! 😊
One of my friends PREACHED to me that a meteor hit the earth and caused all the dinosaurs to be killed off!!!!!!! 😊 I replied by text saying, "If a meteor hit the earth and caused all the dinosaurs to be killed off, why didn't the elephants and kangaroos die off too?" I continued, "The dinosaurs died off because there was a huge climate change after the flood!!!!!!!!😊"
One of my friends said that he witnessed to a young lady in Houghton Regis and she had said that she believes in re-incarnation!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😊 He said that he didn't know how to reply, so I said, "If re-incarnation is true, and we all came from previous lives, how is it that the world population has increased by billions in the last few centuries?"!!!!!!!! 😊 So we know that re-incarnation is not true because GOD lovingly fashioned us and intricately made us in our mothers' womb and we have ONE life and then comes the judgement!!!!!!!!!!!! 😊
Scientists date a specimen by measuring the ratio of Carbo 14 to Carbon 12 in it. But they assume that they KNOW the ratio of Carbon 14 to Carbo 12 in the specimen when it was made (which they obviously do NOT, because there were no scientists around thousands of years ago) and they ASSUME that their measurements of the decay rate of Carbon 14 to Carbon 12 (taken in recent decades) is the same as it was thousands of years ago (which, obviously, they can NOT prove, because there were no scientists around thousands of years ago) so the only reliable account of HOW and WHEN the heavens and the earth were created, is the account which GOD gives in Genesis (through Moses) which states that everything was created in just SIX days, about six thousand years ago!!!!!!! 😊
Before I became a Christian, I went to school in Mentmore Road!!!!!!! 😊 Now there is a little Methodist chapel in Mentmore Road which, obviously, I would have passed, hundreds of times, but the amazing thing is that I NEVER noticed or even SAW it even once!!!!!!!!!! 😊 So if somebody asked me at that time, "Yohan, do you know that there is a Methodist chapel in Mentmore Road?" I would have had to reply, "I do not know"!!!!!!!!! :) Likewise, if you ask somebody, "Do you know GOD?" and they have not noticed or seen him, that does NOT mean that GOD is not there, it just means that they have NOT seen or noticed him!!!!!!! 😊 But some Atheists are extremely religious, because they proclaim very religiously that there is no God, and they religiously believe in the big-bang theory and they religiously believe in the theory of evolution; but that does not mean that GOD is not there, it just means that they have not seen him or noticed him!!!!!!! 😊
When I was in Luton, some people said, "I am a Muslim" or "I am a Sikh" when I politely informed them that Jesus Christ LOVES them forever!!!!!!!! 😊 My standard response to this was, "Jesus Christ STILL loves you!!!!!!!!! 😊 He LOVES all Muslims, Sikhs, Buddhists, Hindus, Atheists, Christians and everyone!!!!!!! 😊" And nobody in Luton had any response to this!!!!!!! 😊
To one of my friends in Luton, I wrote, "The Quran states that Muhammad is the last Islamic prophet, therefore, please do NOT believe or trust anyone who came after Muhammad, including Imams or Sheikhs because they are NOT prophets. The Quran also states that the Injil (which is the New Testament) and the Torah (which is the Old Testament) is given by GOD!!!!!!!!! 😊 Muhammad wrote this centuries after the Injil was assembled as we have it today at the council of Nicea in A.D. 325!!!!!!! 😊 So, you MUST study and BELIEVE the Injil and Torah (which is the holy bible (careful with English translations: check out EVERYTHING in the original Hebrew and Greek)) and GOD's holy prophets and apostles!!!!!!! 😊 GOD has obviously NOT stopped speaking to his people, so he sends true Christians to EVERY tribe and language TODAY, to be HIS holy prophets and apostles, as it is written, "The testimony of JESUS Christ is the spirit of prophecy"!!!!!!! 😊 JESUS Christ taught us that a Christian MUST deny himself, take up his cross daily and follow him!!!!!!!!!!! 😊 So a true Christian is somebody who would RATHER be nailed to a cross than tell a lie, be arrogant, be selfish, unkind, rude, lazy, immoral or sin in ANY way!!!!!!!!! 😊 So a true Christian is infinitely patient, NEVER gets angry, NEVER grumbles or complains and is perfect in love, tender-hearted, FULL of deep compassion, mercy and true wisdom and is extremely humble and bold!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😊 So please make sure that you are NOT deceived by false Christians (who claim to be true Christians) but THANK JESUS for dying on a cross for OUR sins and continually FOLLOW him!!!!!!!!! 😊 To follow JESUS means to be holy as JESUS is holy; and kind, generous, loving, courageous and righteous as JESUS is!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😊 To be an expression of JESUS to this dying world!!!!!!!!!!! 😊 GOD bless you immensely, my friend, every day, and ever-increasingly, FOREVER, as you CHOOSE to walk in perfect love!!!!!!!!! 😊 GOD does NOT live in a church building nor any other building: HE LIVES IN YOUR heart!!!!!!! 😊 So please DO wear robes of righteousness and garments of praise ALWAYS!!!!!!! 😊" I wrote to him again, a few months later saying, "The Quran states that JESUS Christ raises the dead and gives sight to those born blind, so clearly, Mohammed believed in JESUS, so Islam is a Christian sect!!!!!!! 😊 So please DO believe the bible (which is made up of the Injil and the Torah) for the Quran states that the Injil and the Torah is given by GOD!!!!!!! 😊 JESUS said that except you are born from above you can NOT enter the kingdom of heaven where paradise rules!!!!!!! 😊 So please DO believe JESUS and keep on asking GOD to give you a brand new, spiritual birth FROM ABOVE, so that you may ALWAYS be ecstatically happy, content and FULL of innumerable blessings, ever-increasingly FOREVER, where paradise reigns!!!!!!!!! :) GOD BLESS you super-abundantly FOREVER, as you CHOOSE to walk in perfect love ALWAYS!!!!!!!!! 😊 I LOVE you, beloved brother!!!!!!! 😊"
I said to a young man, "You say that it is OK to have differing beliefs and that we should accept that others have differing beliefs, but I believe that it is NOT OK to have differing beliefs and we should ALL believe in JESUS Christ, that he is the way, the truth and the life and all other paths lead to eternal damnation in hell because JESUS Christ IS the Way the Truth and the Life!!!!!!!! 😊 So since you believe that it is OK to have differing beliefs, please do accept and respect my belief that it is NOT OK to have differing beliefs!!!!!!! 😊 THANKS!!!!!!! 😊 AMEN!!!!!!! 😊
If somebody claims that there is no absolute truth then, obviously, their absolute truth is that there is NO absolute truth!!!!!!!!!! 😊 So there IS absolute truth!!!!!!! 😊 So IF someone claims that there is NO absolute truth, they are lying and not telling the truth!!!!!!! 😊 So please do NOT believe them nor trust in them, because there is absolute truth: JESUS Christ is the only WAY, THE ABSOLUTE TRUTH and the amazing, super-abundant LIFE!!!!!!! 😊
To a lovely friend of mine, I sent an email, saying, “Rivalry and competition is COMPLETELY against GOD because JESUS commands us to LOVE our neighbour as ourselves, NOT to compete with them!!!!!!!!! 😊 Once, I was asked, "What football team do you support?" and I said, "I support ALL football teams because I LOVE all footballers and I never want any of them to lose, but for them to always WIN"!!!!!!!!! 😊 But ALL footballers who play football ALWAYS lose sometimes, so I pray that they would ALL give up playing football and follow JESUS Christ our Lord who ALWAYS leads us in triumphant victory, so that they will ALWAYS WIN, by scoring goals for JESUS!!!!!!!!! 😊 And obviously, IF you support a certain sportsman or sports team, then you are AGAINST their opponents; so you are NOT loving their opponents, but are AGAINST them, which is sin!!!!!!!!! 😊 So please do NOT be distracted by ANY competition or sport, but use your time and energy MORE productively in winning the lost, fervent prayer and meditation in the Word: indeed, please do addict yourself to our Lord and GOD, JESUS Christ!!!!!!!!! 😊 May you press on to the pin-point mark of the goal of the high calling of GOD IN JESUS Christ our Lord”!!!!!!!!! 😊 Amen!!!!!!! 😊 He did not listen to this email, so I texted him, about a month later, saying, "If your team scores an own goal or plays very badly, do you jump for joy, rejoice ecstatically and praise GOD? I think not!!!!!!! 😊 So your joy is DEPENDANT on YOUR TEAM, and is NOT the intense joy of the Lord, which is your strength!!!!!!! 😊 SO, since your joy is in your team, your team is an IDOL!!!!!!! 😊 FOR YOUR TEAM is PREVENTING you from rejoicing IN THE LORD!!!!!!! 😊 I SO MUCH WANT you to be able to enthusiastically sing, "And NOW I am happy ALL THE DAY"!!!!!!! 😊 So please do consider your ways and kindly repent and put away your idol, SO THAT you may ALWAYS be ecstatically happy like ALL the saints!!!!!!! 😊 GOD bless you excessively, ever-increasingly FOREVER!!!!!!!!!! 😊 With lots and lots and lots of ever so much pure brotherly love and many, many, many prayers, Johann!!!!!!! 😊" He still did not listen, so I emailed him again few days later saying, "May great peace, unending love and every blessing ALWAYS be yours as you follow HARD after our Lord and GOD, JESUS Christ!!!!!!! 😊 Just for your information, when Paul lists the works of the flesh in Galatians 5, he includes, "ἐριθεῖαι" (pronounced "erithayai") which is translated as "factions", "rivalries", "competitions" or "contentions" and the bible dictionary says that it means to "follow after one team, faction or party". So, clearly, the bible forbids the support of any team, faction or party. So, GOD bless you super-abundantly, ever-increasingly, FOREVER as you continually walk in perfect love!!!!!!!!! 😊 With lots and lots and lots of ever so much pure brotherly love and many, many, many prayers, Johann!!!!!!! 😊" and I followed up by emailing, "So, if your team scores, are you heart-broken with compassion for the team they scored against, and seek to console and encourage the team that was scored against, for it would be terribly provocative to revel in another's distress, wouldn't it? O, brother, we DO LOVE you so much!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😊 Whether you follow a team or not does NOT make any difference to US, does it? We will still follow JESUS whatever happens!!!!!!!!! 😊 Just looking forward to the day when you will be enthusiastically singing, "And now I am happy ALL the day!!!!!!! 😊" I am sure that it WILL happen; and TODAY is the day!!!!!!!!! 😊 A confession: before I became a Christian, I used to play a lot of badminton, and when I was in school, I used to go up to Aylesbury to play in the junior leagues. In some of my matches (I say with tears) I used to destroy my opponents 15-0; 15-0 without even giving them any sort of chance; just completely massacred them. And I must have got some sort of depraved egoistic kick out of doing this, because I did it many times. Obviously, when I became a Christian, I wept MUCH because of my terrible behaviour, for I was sure that my victims did not go home after playing against me saying, "What a lovely time I had getting murdered 15-0; 15-0 by Yohan" did they? Anyway, take care, my friend, and GOD BLESS you, immensely!!!!!!!!! 😊 Shalom shalom!!!!!!!!! 😊 With lots and lots and lots of ever so much pure brotherly love and many, many, many prayers, Johann!!!!!!! 😊"
When I was in Leighton Buzzard, a friend asked me whether I had seen a certain film. I said, “No” so he responded, “It is a really good film, Yohan. You should watch it!!!!!!!” I asked, “What was it all about?” and in a couple of minutes he explained the whole film!!!!!!! 😊 I said, “Thanks very much: you have saved me spending about two hours watching this film (for you have described the film so well in just two minutes) so I can DO something FAR more worthwhile with my time, rather than stare at a video screen for two hours!!!!!!!” 😊 For it is SO much more worthwhile to spend QUALITY time WITH your friends and family and others in conversation and pure fellowship rather than vegetate in front of a video screen for HOURS!!!!!!!!! 😊 And WHY spend hours staring into a TV or film screen when you may be dancing, singing, clapping, jumping and enjoying all the immense blessings of GOD, which we have in JESUS Christ our Lord? One of the first things I gave up when I became a Christian was watching TV because I thought: "What is better? Half an hour (or an hour) in front of the box, or half an hour (or an hour) IN THE throne room of GOD, experiencing HIS incredible peace and ecstatic joy?" Well, obviously, being with GOD won out completely, because, obviously, GOD created women, so being with GOD is BETTER than being with a faithful wife and making babies!!!!!!! 😊 Amen!!!!!!!! 😊 So it is BETTER to pray, study the Word and addict yourself to GOD than to spend time before the TV or film screen!!!!!!!! 😊 Amen!!!!!! 😊 So please do addict yourself to the Holy Spirit and the Word of GOD, because if you are, you will ALWAYS be SO blessed and happy, though you will go through persecution for a short time, to strengthen your faith, and to give you power to ALWAYS be incredibly blessed!!!!!!!!! 😊 Amen!!!!!!! 😊 To addict yourself to the Holy Spirit means to be addicted to LOVING OTHERS, and being kind, humble, meek, thoughtful, considerate, gentle, but very bold and courageous towards OTHERS!!!!!!! 😊 So please be addicted to making friendships with OTHERS and BLESSING OTHERS in every possible way as GOD leads you, for IF you absolutely LOVE everyone, whatever happens, you WILL ALWAYS be incredibly happy, peaceful and content because GOD is with you and in HIS presence is complete joy, and at his right hand are wonderful pleasures FOREVERMORE!!!!!!! 😊
On Friday, the fifteenth of October in the 2021st year of the Lord, I was walking along the Clapham Road in Bedford, and I saw a lady seated on the end of a long bench, in the sun, so I went and sat on the other end of the bench and said to her, "Nice sunny day, isn't it?" She said "Yes" and then I got down to business and said, "Have you heard the gooood news?" and she said, "What good news?" So I replied, "JESUS Christ LOVES you forever!!!!!!! 😊" She replied, "I do not believe in God!" so I replied, "You may not believe in God, but he STILL LOVES you!!!!!!! 😊" She replied, "You're wasting your time, I am an atheist!" So I said, "I used to be an atheist, but I CHOSE TO DOUBT my atheism" and I got up and left her with that thought!!!!!!!!! 😊
Again, when I was in Bedford, on the 30th of November in the 2021st year of our Lord, I was heading for a prayer meeting, and I was a little early, so I decided to do a bit of witnessing in the bus station!!!!!!! 😊 So I approached a lady and I said to her, "Gooood evening" and she said, "Hello" and I said, "Have you heard the gooood news?" She said, "No" so I replied, "JESUS Christ LOVES you forever!" and she said, "Thanks!" A teenage girl in the bus station overheard our conversation, but did not hear who loves us forever, so she said to me, "Who loves forever?" and I said, "JESUS Christ!!!!!!! 😊" She said, "No he does not" so I affirmed, "Yes! He does!" She replied, "He does not even exist" so I said, "How do you know?!" She retorted, "How do YOU know?" SO I replied, "I have beeeeeen born from above!" And she had no reply and said, "Aaah". She had no more arguments left so I left her with that thought and continued on to the prayer meeting!!!!!!! 😊
There is NO set way to evangelize: Jesus just said, "Continually FOLLOW me, and I WILL transform you into fishers of men!!!!!!!" 😊 So I use lines that I have heard others preach, my own inspired ideas and of course, words from the Holy Bible!!!!!!! 😊 So you are very welcome to use ANY of my lines or ANY of my songs (and even your own translation into any other language you know, of ANY of my songs or lines) as the Holy Spirit leads you!!!!!!! 😊 Sometimes the Holy Spirit leads us just to be silent and LISTEN carefully to what a person is speaking (whilst praying silently for them, like mad) and this can be an extremely effective way of preaching the gospel, because when you do this, you are proclaiming that Jesus LISTENS, and therefore, CARES and loves!!!!!!! 😊 I do pray hard that your speech would ALWAYS be FULL of grace (seasoned with a little salt) and that you would avoid the pitfalls and terrible snares of derogatory, coarse, self-condemning or any joking (which destroy you and potentially harm others) which are not fit for a saint, but that EVERYTHING you say would be productive and produce eternal fruit in those who are willing to listen to you!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😊 Please be sober and vigilant!!!!!!!!! 😊
I was in Lake street with my guitar, in Leighton Buzzard one summer at about 4am on a Saturday or Sunday morning and two men came walking down the street, and one of them signalled with his hand to play!!!!!!!!! 😊 So, I thought, "He obviously doesn't speak any English, so I will sing in tongues"!!!!!!!!! 😊 So I played and sang in tongues and the other man said, "How do you know Romanian?" Well, I don't know Romanian, but he had obviously heard the whole song in Romanian!!!!!!!!! 😊 So tongues are a good and perfect gift for us saint TODAY, so please do speak in new tongues and interpret and prophesy!!!!!!!!! 😊
One evening, towards the end of 2010, a young lady who works in town, called Vicky, approached me, and said passionately, "Don't give up, Yohan!!!!!!! 😊 Keep on doing what you are doing!!!!!!!! 😊 For every time I feel a little down, I come out of my shop and go for a walk, and I ALWAYS see you strumming your guitar, and it ALWAYS cheers me up!!!!!!!!! 😊" She said this to me, very strongly, about three times, and so, for about 24 hours after this, I was in floods of tears of GRATITUDE, because I was SO thankful to GOD for putting me through the fires in Sri Lanka, to greatly strengthen my faith, SO that I could do what I do around Leighton Buzzard, and ALWAYS be in the right place with my guitar to bring a little happiness to just ONE daughter of Leighton Buzzard, for whom MY Jesus, whom I just love SO much, DIED for!!!!!!!!! 😊 All that trouble was DEFINITELY worth it!!!!!!! 😊
One day in about 2008, I was standing on the corner of Wing Road and Leighton Road, and a young lady walking past swore at me and called me a paedophile!!!!!!! 😊 So I made it a matter of urgent prayer, and I prayed hard for her every day!!!!!!! 😊 A couple of YEARS later, I met her in one of the pubs, and made friends with her, and continued to pray hard for her!!!!!!!! 😊 About a year after this, I was talking to her and one of her friends at the market cross, and she told her friend that she may become homeless. I remembered how she had cursed me and called me a paedophile, SO I answered (extremely lovingly, with great joy and immense compassion in my heart) and called her by name (with deliberate, unconditional, selfless, passionate love) saying, "IF you are ever homeless, you can ALWAYS sleep over in the front room of my flat, IF you would like to!!!!!!!" 😊
One day, in the Top Bell, I was talking with a young lady, and she described some terrible wickedness a man in Germany had done to his OWN daughter. She seemed to be inferring that there could not be an all-powerful, all-loving GOD if such evil happens. But when she was relating what he had done, I just burst into tears (without making any noise in the hope that she would not see) because my heart was completely broken with compassion for the victim, and ALSO because of the fact that this man's wickedness had HAMMERED nails through the hands and feet of my JESUS, who died to forgive his sins!!!!!!! 😊 For obviously, GOD is LOVE, so he does NOT force anyone to be good, perfect and loving, but gives EVERYONE the freedom to do absolutely anything they wish to do, however wicked they may choose to be. But also, because GOD is LOVE, he commands EVERYONE to be pure, honest and lovely because he KNOWS that all who are selfish and sin, permit Satan to rule their lives, who slowly ruins and destroys ALL sinners and takes them with him to eternal condemnation in the lake of fire, EXCEPT they CHOOSE to repent through the blood of JESUS Christ our Lord and Saviour, who infinitely LOVES us FOREVER!!!!!!! 😊
On 11th December 2010, I was giving out CDs with my music on, and gave out a CD to a random man between the hair-dressers and the butchers in market square, at the bottom of North Street, and said, "Merry Christmas!!!!!!!" 😊 I met the same man again, about two weeks after Christmas, on the north side of the canal bridge in Leighton Road, and he said, "Yohan, I really liked the CD you gave me, and so I thought that I would give you something for it"!!!!!!! 😊 I said, very politely, "That is very kind, but I cannot accept anything for my CD, because it is a gift"!!!!!!! 😊 He replied, "You don't understand, Yohan, I have just inherited three million pounds, and I thought that I would give you half a million"!!!!!!! 😊 I loved him, and said, "That is an amazingly nice offer, but at the moment, I do not have any use for half a million pounds, but maybe in the future, I will"!!!!!!! 😊
In the summer of 2011, I was coming home late one evening, and I knew that there was no food in my flat, and I had absolutely no money!!!!!!! 😊 One of the taxi drivers said to me, "Yohan, have you eaten?" so I answered, "No"!!!!!!! 😊 He continued, "Would you like money to buy some food?" I thought, "I do not want Money to buy me some food, I want my GOD whom I love, to provide my food for me"!!!!!!!!! 😊 So I said politely, "No, thank you very much" to him!!!!!! 😊 He laughed at me and drove off, but literally, within a few seconds, a man called Coppacobana (whom I have never met before or again, and who looked of African descent) came out of the back of the pizza restaurant opposite my flat, saw my guitar, and asked me to play for him. So I played, and he seemed to really like it, and he asked me whether I would like anything to eat!!!!!!! 😊 Before I could answer, he said, "Wait here"!!!!!!!! 😊 And he went back into the restaurant, and about ten minutes later came out with a freshly baked, HUGE, top of the range, pizza!!!!!!! 😊 So I praised my GOD, and ate!!!!!!! 😊
GOD does absolutely love all homosexuals, lesbians, the sexually immoral and adulterous, but GOD also knows that all who practice these acts permit the devil to rule their lives. The devil makes these acts pleasurable for a while, but he makes the pleasure diminish with time, so those who practice these acts, pursue them harder and get addicted to them. And slowly, the devil brings all sorts of curses and problems to those who practice them, kills them, destroys them and takes them with him to hell. But GOD, who is rich in mercy and love, permitted his Son to die for them, so that by constant faith in Jesus, all homosexuals, lesbians, the adulterous and the sexually immoral may turn away from their sins, and turn to the true and living GOD, and live a pure and holy life, WITHOUT even a hint of any type of sexual immorality, so that they may be exceedingly happy and amazingly glad, by his unending love, FOREVER!!!!!!! 😊 Sexual immorality is ANY sort of sexual activity outside a holy marriage relationship (which includes solo). If you have a wife, please do ask GOD to teach you how to bring her much pleasure in a HOLY way, NOT as the worldly do, because a true holy relationship with your wife is FAR more fulfilling and pleasurable than ANYTHING prostitutes or the worldly get up to!!!!!!! 😊 The apostle Paul said that each brother must learn to possess his vessel (wife) in SANCTIFICATION and HONOUR, NOT in passion of lust as the Gentiles do, so, in a holy marriage, only the normal missionary position is permitted and ALL other sexual acts are a perversion, so please do keep your marriages pure!!!!!!! 😊
After I had just become a Christian, a college friend I was talking to about JESUS, asked me that IF JESUS is the ONLY way to heaven, what happens to those who have never heard of him? Good question, isn't it? So I said, "Well, GOD does absolutely LOVE everyone, so he WILL make sure that everyone, everywhere hears about JESUS!!!!!!!!!! 😊 GOD sends out missionaries to EVERY tribe and nation, so there is NOBODY who never hears of him"!!!!!!! 😊 And of course, GOD has created us in his image, so we ALL have a conscience that tells us if we have done wrong, so that we may open our hearts to our creator and tell him all about anything we have done wrong, so that we may make up with him again and be cleansed of our sins by continual faith in HIM!!!!!!! 😊 When I was in Sri Lanka, I read an amazing auto-biography of a Pakistani lady who was born to a rich Muslim family, but unfortunately was very sick and bed-ridden from birth. When she was about 12 years old, she thought that she was bringing a bad name to her father and family by being completely useless, so she started praying to Allah to heal her. As she persisted in prayer, she felt that GOD wanted her to get herself a copy of the Quran in her language and to read it!!!!!!! 😊 So (though it was a bit of a "no" "no") she secretly got one of her maids to buy her a copy and she read the Sutra which is all about JESUS Christ!!!!!!!!! 😊 She read that JESUS Christ raises the dead and gives sight to those born blind!!!!!!!!!! 😊 So she started praying to JESUS as well as to Allah, for them to heal her!!!!!!! 😊 After persisting in prayer, one night, she had a vision of JESUS coming into her bedroom with the twelve apostles, and JESUS simply said to her, "Arise"!!!!!!!!!! 😊 She said, "I can't" but JESUS just said again, "Arise" and strength and healing came into her body and she got out of bed and was COMPLETELY healed and became a Christian!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😊 So she became a Christian by reading the Quran!!!!!!! 😊 And I heard a preacher in Sri Lanka saying that in the Buddhist scriptures, Buddha (who lived about 500 years BEFORE JESUS) said that there is one to come, LISTEN to him!!!!!!!!!! 😊 Obviously, we know that that person is JESUS, so please do listen to him!!!!!!! 😊 Closer to home, one of my college friends became a Christian a little before me, and after I became a Christian, I visited him and asked him HOW he became a Christian!!!!!!!!!! 😊 He simply said that one evening, he looked up into the night sky and saw the beautiful stars and thought, "There MUST be a GOD"!!!!!!!! 😊 I asked one of the staff at Deltota (who gets up at about 6am every morning to pray to a picture of his god) what the creator GOD is like!!!!!!! 😊 He thought, and replied to me in English, "GOD MUST just LOVE everyone"!!!!!!! 😊 SO, we see, that GOD leaves his witness in EVERY religion, in our consciences and in creation, so if anyone from any background from anywhere, CHOOSES to seek GOD, and seek the truth, they WILL find him!!!!!!! 😊
When I was in Kandy, I read that in one gospel, it says that the sinful woman anointed JESUS' feet, but in another, his head!!!!!!! 😊 This SEEMED to me to be a contradiction, so I made it a matter of prayer, and on Sunday, went to church!!!!!!!!! 😊 Brother Palitha was preaching, and suddenly, as he preached, he paused and made a complete change to his sermon and said, "Do you remember the sinful woman? She just LOVED JESUS SO much, she couldn't get enough of him, and anointed his head, his hands and his feet!!!!!!! 😊" and then went back to what he was preaching about!!!!!!!!! 😊 So THERE was my answer: one gospel DETAILED the fact that the sinful woman anointed JESUS' feet, and another, his head!!!!!!!!!!!! 😊 So there was NO contradiction, they just recorded different aspects of the same event!!!!!!! 😊 When I was in Luton, I met a man who claimed that there is a contradiction in the bible, because in Kings it says that Ahaziah was 22 when he ascended to the throne, but in Chronicles (in the English translation) it says 42. Well, I went and looked up the Hebrew, and the word for 40 is literally fours (i.e. a multiple of four, which is usually translated as ten times four (40)) so it COULD be translated in this rare case as 20, so there is NO contradiction!!!!!!!!! 😊 So if anyone blasphemes the bible and claims that there are contradictions, please ASK WHERE, and then look up the Hebrew or Greek, and ASK GOD to prove his word TRUE!!!!!!! 😊 And also, we know that GOD is LOVE, so he ENSURES that the writings of the holy prophets and holy apostles are preserved (in the original Greek and Hebrew) because HE wants us to KNOW the truth: so NO devil from hell nor any man can destroy or change the holy Bible!!!!!!! 😊
I know that GOD forgets ALL our sins the moment we confess them, but there is NOTHING wrong with confessing the same sin again, especially if you suddenly feel convicted about how terrible a certain sin IS, which perhaps you previously thought was NOT that bad. And sometimes GOD may bring a certain confessed sin to mind, SO THAT, we may pray hard for our victims and those hurt by us. Sometimes we may remember past sins because we still NEED to ask GOD to heal us from those sinful habits, and to have every unproductive branch in our lives cut off, and our hearts circumcised.
Because GOD loves us, he used Solomon to strictly instruct us to NOT go near the door of the house of the "strange woman" (which means, the adulteress, the sexually immoral or the prostitute) and to remove your way FAR from her!!!!!!! 😊 That means that you must NOT even go down the road where the adulteress, the sexually immoral woman or the prostitute lives!!!!!!! 😊 So, if you use the internet, please make SURE that there is a net nanny installed, so that you can NOT access any terrible, inappropriate website. For IF there isn't, with just a few clicks on the mouse in a moment of madness, you could end up visiting a website which you definitely should NOT, and end up addicted to it for YEARS. These sorts of addictions can be extremely difficult to get out of, and they WILL surely, slowly destroy your marriage (if you are married) your relationships with other ladies and YOU. So please do beware, and if you are using the internet without a net nanny installed, please do get somebody who loves you to install one!!!!!!! 😊 Obviously, the same applies for the television. If you watch television, please get someone you love to delete any vile channels and put a lock on it, so that you cannot access them!!!!!!! 😊 For you may just accidently turn onto a terrible, inappropriate channel, and get hooked and slowly destroyed for a LONG time.
Sexually immoral thoughts can be a strong temptation, can't they? But thanks be to GOD who always leads us in triumphant victory!!!!!!! 😊 When I was in Sri Lanka, I was waiting at a bus-stop in a suburb of Kandy, and out of the corner of my eye, I saw two scantily dressed young ladies headed my way, so, by GOD's amazing grace, I immediately looked away. But, I sensed that they were still walking towards me, so I started praying extremely hard, and praying for my GOD to rescue me!!!!!!! 😊 So, the Holy Spirit responded, and he strengthened me to actually turn completely around, and face the wall behind me until they had passed behind me, and gone away!!!!!!!! 😊 Praise GOD!!!!!!!!!! 😊 Another tactic GOD gave me over the destroyer of our souls, was, if, I saw an attractive girl in the distance walking my way along a road, I would immediately shut the eye on her side of the road, and raise my face so that I could not see her out of my other eye, because the bridge of my nose blocked vision of her, and, because I could see where I was walking out of the open eye, I could safely walk pass her without seeing her!!!!!!!! 😊 When I returned to Leighton Buzzard, I started using signs (when I was walking around) with positive messages like "Have an amazingly beautiful day" which had a very positive effect on many, but, of course, another wonderful use of the signs, was, that, if I saw a scantily dressed young lady, I could immediately position the sign so that I could not see anything below her chin!!!!!!! 😊 When I was in Luton during the summer, I had an even better idea of carrying around a folder with some incredibly positive words written on one side, so if I spotted an in-appropriately dressed young lady, I would immediately block sight of her with the folder, and ALSO read the words that were on the other side of the folder!!!!!!!!! 😊 Because, if we see something unsavoury, even if, by GOD's incredible grace, we look away immediately, the devil will still try to tempt you with destructive thoughts about the image in your mind of what you just saw. Obviously, it is NOT a sin to be tempted in your thoughts (JESUS was sorely tempted in every way as we are, but did NOT sin) but you MUST resist those horrible thoughts, and the best way to do this, is to focus on positive words about GOD, which GOD gives to ALL who truly seek him with ALL their heart!!!!!!! 😊 King David was an amazing man of GOD, but even HE fell into sin, just by seeing the SHAPE of Bathsheba. And though GOD forgave him his sin, there were all sorts of terrible consequences for him: his own first-born son, Amnon, raped Tamar, David's daughter. Imagine what it must be like to hear that your own son has raped his own half-sister? So please do be EXTREMELY careful with sexual temptation, for the devil will try THIS way to get into your heart so that he may destroy you. So please do not let even the SHAPE of a young lady take you.
One evening, I met a young lady who was extremely distressed, because she had had an abortion and so murdered her unborn baby. She had nobody else to talk to, so she confided all her thoughts and concerns and the whole situation with me. I just carefully listened to her, and then promised to pray for her (which I did, every day) once she had finished!!!!!!! 😊 I met her again a few weeks later, and she was obviously so much better, so I thanked GOD for answering my prayers!!!!!!! 😊 So please, do not have an abortion, but have the baby, and if you do not want to raise it, put it up for adoption. And if you have had an abortion, it is not the end of the world, because GOD forgives you!!!!!!! 😊 So please do cry out to the Lord with tears and a broken heart (because you have murdered your unborn baby) and beg him to forgive you through the blood of his Son, Jesus Christ!!!!!!! 😊
Judas Iscariot was one of the twelve apostles, who were the most close to Jesus, and he preached many powerful sermons, and many of those who heard, I suppose, would have been saved through his preaching. He also raised the dead, healed the sick, cleansed the lepers and cast out demons. But he was definitely NOT of GOD because the Holy Scriptures call him a devil and a thief, so obviously, he preached error as well as the truth. So just because somebody is preaching powerful sermons and doing wonderful things in Jesus' name, and even gives testimonies about how GOD has "led them", this does NOT mean that they are of GOD!!!!!! 😊 Some counterfeit ten pound notes are extremely difficult to distinguish from real ten pound notes!!!!!! 😊 Likewise, some false Christians are extremely difficult to distinguish from true Christians!!!!!!! 😊 The Holy Spirit wrote by the hand of Paul, teaching us that our ladies must NOT speak publicly in church, nor must they teach nor usurp authority over a man, but must learn in silence. And the Holy Spirit gives the reasons: for Adam was formed first and not Eve, and Adam was not deceived, but the lady, being deceived, fell into transgression. Obviously, I greatly love all ladies, as though they are my own sisters, mothers or daughters, but if a lady speaks publicly, or leads praise or worship or teaches in the church, and therefore usurps authority over the men, the scriptures say that she is a devil and a thief. So please do beware of all those Judas Iscariots, certain Pharisees and scribes and false teachers who try to infiltrate the church to destroy it and make money out of you. If a preacher does not have faith for GOD to provide for him and takes collections or has a donate button on his website, HOW CAN HE preach the Word of GOD? (And beware of ALL those who preach or teach untruths). Of course, please DO continue to absolutely LOVE them and pray hard for them, but make SURE that you do NOT let any of their lies, deceptions and false teaching get even a slightest entry into your heart, even for a moment, and make sure that you do NOT acknowledge nor speak well of any of their false doctrines!!!!!!! 😊 Seek the Lord with ALL your heart, and with ALL your getting, get wisdom, so that as you diligently follow Jesus, he will protect you and deliver you from ALL the traps and pitfalls of the devil which SO many fall into!!!!!!! 😊
Jesus said, "do NOT call anyone leader, for One is your leader, Christ, and you are ALL brothers". Obviously, there are apostles, prophets, evangelists, teachers and pastors in the church for the perfecting of the saints for the work of the ministry, but we do not give anyone titles (such as "doctor", "apostle", "professor", "bishop", "father", "teacher" or "pastor") nor is anyone a leader, but we are ALL brothers, which is why, Peter, in his epistle, refers to Paul as our dearly beloved BROTHER!!!!!!! 😊 So please do not let anyone call me "vicar", "prophet" or "pastor" or any other title (if you would like to give me a title, you may call me, "brother") and please do not let anyone call you "pastor" or any other title.
I met a sweet sister who told me that she prays to Mary (the mother of Jesus). Obviously, Mary was a very lovely lady, but she is NOT God, so she is not everywhere, and she does not understand English (she spoke Aramaic). Also all the saints are NOT God, and didn't speak English, so it is absolutely useless to pray to Mary or any of the saints because they can NOT hear you, and even if they could, they would NOT understand you. But GOD the Father, GOD the Son and GOD the Holy Spirit IS everywhere and does understand every language, so please do pray to your Father who is in the heavens, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit, and they will HEAR you!!!!!!!!! 😊 Keep yourself from idols and please do not worship any statues!!!!!!! 😊
IN the summer of 2014, I met some lovely people in Leighton Buzzard who claimed to be Christians, and said that they believed the bible, BUT said that JESUS is NOT God, and Jehovah IS GOD (Jehovah is just an old name of JESUS'). So I said to them, "JESUS said, "I am the resurrection and the life" NOT, "Jehovah is the resurrection and the life"!!!!!!! 😊 JESUS said, "I am the way, the truth and the life" NOT, "Jehovah is the way, the truth and the life" and JESUS said, "I am the bread of life" NOT, "Jehovah is the bread of life"" for JESUS made it VERY clear that HE is GOD!!!!!!!!!! 😊 He said, "BEFORE Abraham WAS, I AM" and when JESUS got into the boat after he walked on water, his disciples WORSHIPPED him, and he ACCEPTED their worship!!!!!!! 😊 Also, when JESUS appeared to Thomas after the resurrection, Thomas said to him, "My Lord and my GOD" and JESUS commended Thomas for saying this, saying, "Because you have seen me, you have believed!!!!!!! 😊 SO BLESSED are those who have NOT seen and yet believe"!!!!!!! 😊 So you will be extremely blessed IF you CHOOSE to believe that JESUS Christ IS GOD!!!!!!!!! 😊 Of course, JESUS never went around saying that he is GOD, nor did he TELL anyone to worship him BECAUSE he is NOT arrogant!!!!!!! 😊
Please do NOT eat any food offered to an idol, if you are told about it. If food is prayed over to any other god other than our Lord Jesus Christ, please do not eat it. Even if food is prayed over to a god whom they CLAIM to be the creator God, but who is NOT actually the creator GOD (because he is not God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit) please do not eat it, if you are told about it.
JESUS said, “WHEN you fast” NOT, “IF you fast”; so there WILL be times when the Holy Spirit leads you to go without food for a period: maybe just half a day, or maybe many days!!!!!!!!! 😊 I also have done strange fasts: when I was in Townsend Court (which was a mental hospital in Houghton Regis) they were closely observing my food intake, but NOT my drinking: so I ate a little, but drank NOTHING for a few days!!!!!!!!! 😊 When you fast, you may also switch OFF your mobile phone, computer and TV (if you use any of these)!!!!!!!!! 😊
One evening, I met a young lady in the Swan, who seemed to advocate that there is absolutely NO difference between the genders, and therefore, there should not even be the words, "feminine" or "masculine" in the English language. I answered and said, "If I get married, I do NOT want to marry a man in a woman's body, I want to marry a woman in a woman's body"!!!!!!!!! 😊 For GOD has created us male and female, so there are unique and special traits and abilities that GOD has given to women, which men do NOT have!!!!!!!!! 😊 Likewise, there are unique and special traits and abilities that GOD has given men, which women do NOT have!!!!!!!!! 😊 So far, I have never met a man who is able to breast feed a baby as women do, and likewise, I have never met a lady who has the ability to get another lady pregnant as men can!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😊 So women are infinitely BETTER at breast feeding than a man could ever be, and men are infinitely BETTER at getting their wives pregnant that a woman could ever be!!!!!!! 😊 So women and men ARE different and women COMPLIMENT men, and also, men COMPLIMENT women!!!!!!!!! 😊 We NEED both the women and the men for GOD's amazingly wonderful plans to come to pass!!!!!!!!! 😊 Mothers do certain things that fathers cannot do, and likewise, fathers do certain things that mothers cannot do!!!!!!!!! 😊 And please be content with the way GOD has created you, for if you try and CHANGE how you were created, you will NEVER be satisfied. I heard of a young man who changed his gender to a lady, but after a few years, he was dis-satisfied with being a lady and wanted to change BACK to being a man. If you are NOT content with WHO you are, you will NEVER be content if you try and change WHO you are.
Some people hate doing "chores" because the inference of calling something a "chore" is that it is something boring, uninteresting and unenjoyable. So, instead of thinking of "chores" as "chores", please think of them as a type of a dance, or a game, or just good fun, or maybe even a work-out!!!!!!!!! 😊 Then you will be incredibly blessed when you have to do "chores" for you will enjoy them!!!!!!! 😊 And of course, as you do them, you can be in prayer, or sing praises to GOD or think over the holy Word of GOD and rejoice greatly!!!!!!!!! 😊
Some people do not like getting wet in the rain, often because they have been threatened as a child with the words, "Do not get wet in the rain because you will get ill". I have got soaked in the rain dozens of times, over the years, but never even once did I get ill from it, so clearly threats like these are not true, but LIES!!!!!!! 😊 So please ENJOY it, IF you get caught in the rain!!!!!!! 😊 I remember walking down South Street in heavy rain, so I decided to turn my face to heaven, and the rain gave me a lovely gentle face massage!!!!!!! 😊 It was really nice!!!!!!! 😊
When I was in Sri Lanka, many of the locals complain about the hot sun, and when it is overcast and rainy, they say, "Good weather"!!!!!!!!! 😊 Many British complain about the overcast sky and the rain, but when it is hot and sunny they say, "Good weather"!!!!!!!!! 😊 SO I CHOOSE to take the best of both worlds, so when it is rainy and overcast, I think like some Sri Lankans and say, "Good weather" and when it is hot and sunny, I think like some British and say, "Good weather" so I ALWAYS rejoice!!!!!!!!!!! 😊 So, in EVERYTHING and FOR everything, GIVE THANKS, for this is the way to stay eternally ecstatically happy in GOD, because there is ALWAYS a way to see GOOD in every situation, and we KNOW, by FAITH, because JESUS absolutely LOVES us, that GOD WILL bring amazing amounts of goodness for US out of EVERYTHING because we absolutely LOVE him, more than our lives!!!!!!! 😊
By GOD's amazingly wonderful grace, husbands MUST love their wives as Christ loved the church and gave himself for her, which means that even if his wife goes off with hundreds of other lovers, EVEN though she may still be living with him AND using his money to buy make-up and clothes to make herself look attractive to her adulterous lovers, and using his bedroom to commit her adulteries, and murdering his children by cooking them in the fire to offer up to her adulterous lovers to eat, and having children with her adulterous lovers, he must CHOOSE to take up his cross and follow JESUS and very gratefully permit her to hammer nails through his hands and feet RATHER than divorce her, and so remain absolutely and completely faithful to her!!!!!!! 😊 Of course, if a man marries another man's wife, then he must tell her to leave and remain single or be reconciled to her first husband, OTHERWISE he will be causing her to commit fornication with him!!!!!!! 😊 It is a little easier for a lady, for she IS permitted to separate from her man, but IF she does, she must remain single or be reconciled with her man!!!!!!! 😊 Obviously, a widow may marry again!!!!!!! 😊 Other aspects of husbands loving their wives is for them to be very patient, gentle and kind, and ALSO to TEACH them the Word of GOD, pray with them, and as JESUS loved his disciples and washed their feet, so he MUST wash his wife's feet!!!!!!!!! 😊 So, a wife MUST submit to her husband as unto the Lord, which means that she must LISTEN to him, LET him love her, LET him teach her (and even ASK him to teach her), LET him wash her feet and LET him lead her in the ways of the Lord!!!!!!!!! 😊 If a Christian wishes to marry (he or she does NOT have to) then let him or her make VOWS to ONLY marry a pure Christian spouse!!!!!! 😊 If a sister is married to a non-Christian, then let her WIN her husband WITHOUT preaching to him, but by her daily demonstration of the purity, love and reverence of Christ by her constant faith!!!!!!! 😊
The prophet Nathan spoke to King David, by the Holy Spirit, after David had sinned in the matter of Uriah the Hittite, stating that GOD had given David the widowed wives of Saul to him!!!!!!! 😊 So CLEARLY, GOD permits polygamy!!!!!!! 😊 So, if a Jew, in the days of JESUS had two wives (which is permitted by GOD) then when JESUS died and rose again, he would NOT suddenly be illegally married to his second wife, would he? This is WHY Paul, in his letter to the Corinthians uses two SEPARATE Greek words translated into English as, “own” namely, “ἑαυτοῦ” (pronounced, “howtoo”) which means, “his own, and NOT another’s” and, “ἴδιον” (pronounced, “idion”) which means, “her private” as in, “on her own” when he states, “a husband MUST have his own (and NOT another’s) wife and the wife her own (in private) husband, otherwise it is would be sexual immorality” for CLEARLY, the Lord permits polygamy!!!!!!! 😊 So a husband MUST have his OWN wife who is NOT another’s and the wife MUST have her husband on her own with NO cameras or ANYONE else present!!!!!!! 😊 Amen!!!!!!! 😊 And time is SHORT, so let those who have wives live as though they did NOT, and please make sure that JESUS is your first love, and NOT any wife!!!!!!! 😊
If a man steals a one pound chocolate bar, and is caught, though the bar was only worth a pound, the judge may fine him a hundred pounds and he may also have to pay court and solicitor fees. So the punishment for his theft is MANY times more than the cost of what he stole. And also, he can never go back in time and undo his theft, so he will forever be a thief, EXCEPT he turn to GOD and change. This is ONE reason WHY hell has to be eternal, because IF you sin, you are FOREVER a sinner EXCEPT you CHOOSE to use the blood of JESUS Christ our Lord and change!!!!!!! 😊 And also, sin has TERRIBLE consequences, because IF you sin, you become addicted to sin, so you do more and more sin, and also, the things you may do wrong, influence OTHERS to sin .... which influence OTHERS to sin ..... which influence OTHERS to sin ..... which influence OTHERS to sin ..... which influence OTHERS to sin ..... which influence OTHERS to sin ..... which influence OTHERS to sin ..... and SO, if you sin, your sin actually destroys the WHOLE world. This is HOW terrible sin IS, which is one reason WHY JESUS had to be persecuted for so many years, fast and pray in the wilderness for forty days and nights, be beaten in the face until he could not be recognised, mocked cruelly in all sorts of ways, whipped, forced to carry his cross until he could not, and crucified. He COULD have, at ANY time called on GOD his Father, to send more than 72,000 angels, who would have just wiped out all those Roman soldiers, but he CHOSE to lay down his life for US, SO THAT WE may have forgiveness of sins and RECEIVE ALL sorts of amazing blessing that go on forever and ever, just by CHOOSING to give up everything and continually FOLLOW him!!!!!!!! 😊 Praise GOD!!!!!!!! 😊
And because he did NO wrong, he could NOT stay dead, and three days after he died, he rose again, and he IS alive FOREVERMORE!!!!!!!! 😊 And, of course, if the judge is completely righteous, and if the thief says, "I have given millions to the poor, I pray every day, I fast regularly and I do all sorts of wonderful things .... please let me off this fine for just stealing a one pound chocolate bar" he will NOT let the thief off, because he is a righteous judge. So, this is the problem that GOD has, because he is the completely righteous and just judge, so IF anyone does ANY sort of sin, the sin cuts off his connection with heaven (because heaven is COMPLETELY holy) and so, the penalty is that he HAS to die. And GOD WILL enforce judgement because he is completely just. But, just like you could pay off the fine due to the thief who stole a one pound chocolate bar (if you had the available money) so JESUS paid OUR fine on the cross (because his blood is holy and CAN pay the price) so that ANYONE who CHOOSES to accept his payment, may walk completely FREE, by CHOOSING to faithfully follow him continually, OUT of darkness into his incredible light!!!!!!!!!!!! 😊 Praise GOD!!!!!!! 😊
In January 2015, certain characters in Leighton Buzzard decided to lie about me to the police. So I was arrested in a church service in Dunstable on Sunday February 8th 2015, and remanded at Bedford prison and transferred to hospital in Luton under section 36 of the 1983 Mental Health Act, on Thursday 23rd July 2015 and tried at the end of September!!!!!! 😊 Even though my barrister pointed out clear discrepancies between what the prosecution witnesses said (when he cross-examined them) and their witness statements, the jury believed them and proclaimed me guilty!!!!!!! 😊 So the judge returned me to hospital under section 37/41!!!!!!! 😊 But God was with me, carried me and gave me incredible grace, so I had no hard feelings at all, absolutely loved the doctors (who injected me repeatedly (by force) with drugs that tortured my soul) and daily prayed many fervent prayers (with MANY loving tears) for them, the lovely prosecution witnesses and everyone!!!!!!! 😊 I was incredibly thankful because I had wonderful opportunities to love the staff and residents (some were in a heart-breaking state)!!!!!!! 😊 The drugs were MUCH milder than the ones in Sri Lanka, but still had lots of side-effects, one being that I had to fight hard against drowsiness during the day, but in the night I lay awake, sometimes ALL night long, with insomnia!!!!!!!!! 😊 So HOW did the drugs KNOW when it was daytime (to give me drowsiness) and night (to give me insomnia)? Because the drugs are powered by DEMONS!!!!!! 😊
The staff checked on our sleep in the night by looking through a little window in our bedroom doors. One hot summer's night, I was lying awake semi-naked, and I knew that one of the night-staff was female, so I did NOT want to distress her with views of my semi-naked body. So when I heard her coming down the corridor, I quickly got up and stood out of view, in a corner, so that she could not see me. Obviously, she called my name, and I replied, and I went back to bed after she had gone. An hour later I did exactly the same. You won't believe this, but in her report she said "Johann was standing in a corner of his room for OVER AN HOUR"!!!!!!!!! when in fact, I had only stood up for a total of about thirty seconds!!!!!!!!! 😊 This is EXACTLY what scientists DO!!!!!!!!! 😊 They collect points on a graph, and ASSUME ALL sorts of things about what is in between the points, when in actual fact, they do NOT have a clue!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😊 Or collect evidence today, and ASSUME that it was always as it is today, even thousands of years ago. And science has SO many ASSUMPTIONS, which are assumptions and so cannot be proved!!!!!!!!! 😊 One claim of science, is that, if you do an experiment today, and repeat it EXACTLY the same tomorrow, you ALWAYS will get EXACTLY the same results!!!!!!!!!! 😊 Nobody can PROVE this theory, because it is an assumption, and obviously, this contradicts Quantum mechanics!!!!!!!!! 😊 And I have used a computer, and tried to load up a web-page, which has not loaded. So I closed the web-page, and did EXACTLY the same again, and the second time, it loaded!!!!!!!!! 😊 So this proves that an experiment done today may NOT have exactly the same results if exactly the same experiment is done tomorrow!!!!!!! 😊 Because, obviously, demons (and therefore, angels) can get into any electrical equipment and into any experiment and make them do strange things!!!!!!!!! 😊
When one of the residents heard that I had studied at Cambridge, he immediately claimed that he had studied at Oxford, and tried to put me down by saying that Oxford had won the boat-race .... O, poor, poor Cambridge!!!!!!!!!!! 😊 Obviously, we overcome evil with good, so I said, "Did Oxford win?" He said, "Yes". So I responded, "Brilliant!!!!!!!!!! 😊 I am so glad, because I LOVE Oxford!!!!!!! 😊" He was a bit disgruntled with that reply and said, "You're Cambridge, you shouldn't love Oxford". So I informed him, "I am a Christian, and ALL Christians LOVE Oxford!!!!!!! 😊"
Another of the residents really amazed me because he was so amazingly persistent about getting his own way. Whenever he wanted something, he would beg and plead, and if that did not work, he would curse and swear. And if that did not work, he would threaten them with all sorts of threats including death threats. And if that did not work, he would threaten to harm or kill himself. And if that did not work, he would lie and say that they had promised him that he could have what he wanted. And if that did not work, he would say that they were not letting him have his way because they did not love him. And if that did not work, he would try and get others to plead his case. And if they said that he should apologise for certain things he did or said, he would apologise so sweetly and kindly, but THEN just go on and do or say exactly the same things again. And there was ALWAYS something he was after, ALL day long. What really intrigued me, was that he would often put the Christian TV channel on, and sometimes, I would listen to the preaching with him. Sometimes, the preacher was SO powerful that I was moved to tears: literally, tears were flowing down my cheeks, but he was speaking: complaining about something or cursing or threatening to harm someone, and completely ignoring the preacher. He NEVER stopped speaking. He obviously is an extreme example of selfishness. And actually, it was a GREAT privilege and pleasure to draw alongside him, and LOVE on him, as JESUS first LOVED me (of course, being VERY strict with him at the same time)!!!!!!! 😊 And there was NO way I could condemn him or criticise him, because I cannot say that I have never been selfish, myself, could I? (And indeed, we can NOT condemn, criticise or judge ANYONE (even in thought) because we ourselves have ALL sinned). And, after loving HIM as JESUS first loved me, it is SO easy to love other selfish people, who obviously are not anywhere near as selfish as this man!!!!!!!!! 😊 Praise GOD!!!!!!! 😊 And also, if he can be SO persistent at trying to get his own way, HOW MUCH MORE, should we, who have had our sins forgiven by the blood of JESUS, be ABSOLUTELY dedicated to blessing, loving and encouraging OTHERS as JESUS first loved us? Therefore, whatever I do, say and think, ALL DAY long, will ONLY be what is beneficial, loving and pure towards OTHERS as I continually seek with all my heart to thwart, undo and destroy ALL the schemes and plans of the devil!!!!!!! 😊
Towards the end of 2021, I was almost discharged to a placement in Bedford, but every three years there is an automatic tribunal (which I did not call) and the panel went through all the reports. The lovely hospital "psychiatrist" and the "nurse" were both very supportive of my case but after a couple of hours, the panel finally asked me, "Will you take "medication" if you are discharged?" So, obviously, I said, "No" (because my body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, so I will NOT permit any medical doctor or disciple or believer in medical science to officiate in it, and ALL medical drugs have side-effects, so they are toxic, and I will NOT permit anything toxic to harm my body). So they said, "So we will NOT discharge you"!!!!!!! 😊 Praise GOD!!!!!! 😊 So the placement in Bedford was cancelled. I was regularly asked whether I would accept "medication" if I was discharged so I very gently continued to firmly say, "No" (because I will NOT eat the body or the blood (which is the communion) of medical science (tablets are the body and injections are the blood) NOR eat at the table of demons). I did not provide ANY blood or ANY urine or ANY breath samples at all in my stay in hospital because that is what demons request for divination, and I refused ALL “medical” examinations because I do NOT believe in medical science. Finally, in October 2022, I was asked again whether I would accept "medication" if I was discharged, and I very gently and firmly said again, "No". So he said, "Then we can't discharge you". So I said, "If I WAS discharged and refused "medication" you are not supposed to automatically recall me to hospital, you should first observe me in the community, and IF there are any signs of relapse, then you may recall me". So he said, "O.K. then, we will trial you without "medication" in hospital, and if you do not show signs of relapse, we will proceed to looking to discharge you" Brilliant!!!!!!! 😊 So the last injection was on Wednesday 19th October 2022, and they took away all my un-escorted leave, so I was only allowed out of the unit with staff. In March 2023, they started giving me back my un-escorted leave because I showed no "significant" signs of relapse, and they started discussing with the community team about potential discharge. But the community "psychiatrist" had such a strong faith in medical science, that even though he had never even interviewed me, he said that I could not safely be discharged into the community without medication!!!!!!!!! 😊 He persuaded the hospital team, and on Friday 23rd June 2023, they announced that they were planning to start injecting me twice a DAY with a "medication" that they claimed was two or three times "better" than any other medication. So I wrote this letter to the community "psychiatrist":
Dearly beloved sir,
I consider it a great privilege to have met you in person at a ward-round, and to speak with you over the computer screen, because I consider you as my lovely, incredibly precious, brother, who is worth MUCH MORE than billions of pounds or anything!!!!!!! 😊 You may not realise just HOW precious you are!!!!!!! 😊 Almighty GOD just created the stars, the sun and the moon by speaking them into existence!!!!!!! 😊 He just commanded the seas to bring forth fish, and the earth to bring forth plants and animals, but when he made YOU, he lovingly fashioned you and intricately made you in your mother's womb!!!!!!! 😊 You are GOD's master-piece, the pinnacle of all his creation, so you are far, far, far more precious than the stars, the sun, the moon, all the fish in the seas and all the birds in the air, and he absolutely and evermore LOVES you completely!!!!!!! 😊 But, as you know, we have ALL done wrong in our lives, which has marred the incredible beauty he made us with, so he commands EVERYONE to humble themselves and pray, to seek his face and to turn from our wicked ways so that he may heal our minds and hearts, and become WHO we ARE created to be, again!!!!!!! 😊 He says that we WILL seek him and find him IF we seek him with ALL our heart!!!!!!!!! 😊 So, everyone has the CHOICE!!!!!!! 😊 We may ALL seek him with ALL our heart!!!!!!!!! 😊 And GOD absolutely loves you, beloved sir, so he GAVE his only Son, Jesus Christ (whom he LOVES SO much) to pay for our sins on a cross, so that, IF we CHOOSE to forsake our sins by trusting in him and following him (by constant faith and his resurrection power) we may have an eternal place in paradise, where ALL the saints go!!!!!!! 😊 Obviously, I do not believe in medical science because medical science is CLEARLY pseudo-intellectual as evidenced by the placebo effect!!!!!!! 😊 The devil is the father of ALL pseudo-intellectual ideas, so ALL tablets and medical drugs are from the devil (which is why ALL medical drugs have side-effects!!!!!!!) So ALL who take the devil's medication are actually eating at the table of DEMONS, and ALL who eat at the table of demons WILL end up tortured forever in the lake of fire on the last day, EXCEPT they repent. So, obviously, I would RATHER be locked up in a mental hospital and injected twice a day and be tortured with your "medication" for the rest of my life, and SO gladly and thankfully stay faithful to JESUS (and go to heaven) THAN forsake JESUS and accept tablets and end up in hell!!!!!!! 😊 IF you end up in hell, once you have been burning in agony there for billions of years, you will have NO less time to burn. Hell is a terrible place which I would NOT wish on anyone. This true view point has NOT changed at all since my first injection on Sunday 29th November, 1998, almost twenty-five years ago, and it will NEVER change!!!!!!! 😊 Our delightful brother from the hospital team, claimed that this new "medication" is two or three times more effective than any other drug. Well two or three times zero is STILL zero!!!!!!! 😊 I am very blessed to understand that, compared to the Robin Pinto unit, my brain is a tiny spot!!!!!!!!! 😊 And compared to Luton, the Robin Pinto unit is a tiny spot!!!!!!! 😊 And compared to the U.K., Luton is a tiny spot!!!!!!! 😊 And compared to the whole earth, the U.K. is a tiny spot!!!!!!!!! 😊 And compared to the solar system, the earth is a tiny spot!!!!!!! 😊 And compared to the Milky Way, the solar system is a tiny spot!!!!!!!! 😊 And compared to the whole universe, the Milky Way is a tiny spot!!!!!! 😊 And compared to Almighty GOD, the whole universe is a tiny spot!!!!!!!!! 😊 So, clearly, GOD KNOWS infinitely better HOW to run my life, than I could ever begin to, so I have CHOSEN to let GOD run my life, and because GOD IS perfect LOVE, I am COMPLETELY blessed in every way!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😊 So, please, dearly beloved sir, keep on asking GOD to run EVERY part of your life and continually follow him, for though we do go through many hardships because of our faith in GOD, those hardships purify our hearts and immensely strengthen our faith IF we choose to remain faithful to him!!!!!!! 😊 And GOD is faithful, so he will never permit hardships in our lives which we cannot bear, and he will quickly bring us out into an open place FULL of innumerable blessing!!!!!!!!! 😊 May you be incredibly BLESSED today, and ever-increasingly EVERY day FOREVER and EVER by CHOOSING to ALWAYS walk in perfect LOVE!!!!!!! 😊 With lots and lots and lots of ever so much pure brotherly love and many, many, many prayers,
Johann
There was much discussion between the hospital and community team, and on 13th October 2023, they concluded that they wanted to restart injections, but I just prayed and trusted Almighty GOD to deliver me!!!!!!! 😊 But on Tuesday 17th October 2023, they carried out their threats and injected me, but, praise GOD, the drugs had absolutely NO effect on me!!!!!!!!! 😊 JESUS completely neutralised all their poison!!!!!!! 😊 I was so glad, and remembered the words of the prophet Isaiah: "No weapon fashioned against you shall prosper"!!!!!!!! 😊 So, in other words, "the injections WILL stop working"!!!!!!!!! 😊 And his very next words were, "Every slanderous word spoken against you, you WILL prove false"!!!!!!!!! 😊 So I understood from this verse, that GOD would completely vindicate me, and ALL the prosecution witnesses' false witnesses would be PROVED false!!!!!!! 😊 Hallelujah!!!!!!!!! 😊 And, by faith, I CONSIDERED it DONE!!!!!!!!! 😊 At this time, I wrote to the lovely team at the hospital saying,
Dearly beloved sir and all the wonderful team,
Hello! I know that your motives for injecting me are VERY good: you desire to see me discharged, healthy and living well, which is EXACTLY how Almighty GOD feels! Obviously, God could just heal EVERYONE, EVERYWHERE, but GOD is LOVE, so he doesn't FORCE his healing on ANYONE, because that would be a type of rape. So I FELT raped when injections were FORCED on me, BUT, because I do ABSOLUTELY LOVE ALL of you, I COMPLETELY FORGIVE you ALL and have absolutely NO hard feelings, bitterness, complaints or thoughts of revenge against ANY of you, but VERY gratefully, PRAY diligently and fervently EVERY day for you ALL to be INCREDIBLY BLESSED, ever-increasingly TODAY and FOREVER!!
If anyone is selfish, arrogant, cruel, competitive, rude, uses bad language, sexually immoral, a liar or a sinner in ANY way, then they LACK insight, because they do NOT understand HOW incredibly LOVING, kind and HOLY, GOD is and that GOD is COMPLETELY JUST, and so sin slowly ruins ALL their relationships and life, COMPLETELY. [Mental illness can ALSO be due to demon possession]. So ALL "medication" is UNABLE to CURE any mental illness (it can ONLY reduce some symptoms) because ONLY the blood of JESUS can FORGIVE sins or cast out demons!!!!!!!!! 😊 SO please do ASK GOD to give you COMPLETE faith, thank and praise GOD for sending JESUS Christ to suffer and die for us, and please USE the blood of JESUS to CURE every sort of mental illness by HIS resurrection power!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😊 Thanks!!!!!!! 😊 May GOD bless you all, super-abundantly, as you CHOOSE to walk in perfect love!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😊 With lots and lots and lots of ever so much PURE brotherly love and many, many, many prayers,
Yohan!!!!!!!!! 😊

What is the placebo effect? A doctor gives dummy tablets and his victim BELIEVES the diagnosis, takes the dummy tablets and gets healed! How does the placebo effect work? Psychosomatics! How does psychosomatics work? The victim HEARS the diagnosis and BELIEVES the tablets will heal him! How did the doctor MAKE his diagnosis? By FAITH in medical science! By what name is the victim healed? You injected me with Olanzapine for a number of years, so you tried to "heal" me in the name of Olanzapine! So doctors heal BY FAITH in medical science (in this case) by the name of Olanzapine! So Olanzapine had NO effect on me AT ALL because JESUS is greater than Olanzapine! Why is JESUS greater than Olanzapine? Because Olanzapine is a demon; and demons CAN do miracles at the expense of their victims SOULS! So please do NOT be deceived by demons, but please turn to our living GOD, JESUS Christ!!! Amen!
Just to clarify: the active chemical components of Olanzapine are demonically inspired, which is WHY it has so many side-effects, because demons heal at a price. JESUS' healing is COMPLETELY harmless and has NO side-effects!!!!!! 😊 Also JESUS' absolute forgiveness, inebriating peace, inexpressible joy and unending glory have NO side-effects and are ALL completely FREE for ALL who CHOOSE to walk in perfect love ALWAYS!!!!!!! 😊 So please walk ALWAYS in perfect love by constant faith in JESUS Christ our Lord, and be ever-increasingly INCREDIBLY blessed FOREVER!!!!!!! 😊 JESUS Christ LOVES you EVER SO MUCH FOREVER!!!!!!! 😊 In Sri Lanka, people literally PAY money to witch-doctors and idolatrous priests for healing ceremonies AND GET healed, so NOT ALL healing is from GOD, for the devil masquerades as an angel of light. So please do NOT be deceived by medical science, but PLEASE refer the sick to the true elders of the church (who have the gifts of healing) and who heal by the blood of JESUS Christ our Lord! Please beware of false elders of the church who do NOT have healing gifts.
With lots and lots and lots of ever so much pure brotherly love and many, many, many prayers,
Yohan!
On Friday the 5th January 2024, one of the lovely hospital “doctors” asked me whether I would consider taking “medication” in the community, so I replied, “I may consider” and emailed him the following day, saying:
I have considered about taking "medication" and I have decided that I WILL NOT, under ANY circumstances, take your "medication" BECAUSE medical science is modern day witch-craft, and ALL who practise or submit to the demon of Medical Science and hence practise or submit to witch-craft WILL be tortured FOREVER in the lake of fire (which is the second death) (except they REPENT) on the last day. So it is BETTER for me to be abused with a hypodermic needle and be locked up for the rest of my life, and stay faithful to JESUS, and so have a place in everlasting paradise FOREVER, THAN to be discharged into the community BUT take your "medication" and end up in eternal condemnation in hell on the last day!!!!!!!!! 😊 Amen!!!!!!!!! 😊 So I shall NEVER under ANY circumstances bow down to the demon of Medical Science!!!!!!!!! :)
Happy!!!!!!! Happy!!!!!!! Happy!!!!!! Happy!!!!!! Happy!!!!!!! Happy New Year and ALL the very best for 2024, 2025, 2026, 2027 and FOREVER, by the blood of JESUS Christ our Lord!!!!!!! 😊 With lots and lots and lots of ever so much pure brotherly love and many, many, many prayers,
Johann!!!!!!! 😊
They also consistently TRIED to call me a "patient", "mentally ill", and other names, which I never accepted because GOD has already healed me by his blood!!!!!!! 😊 I have had sickness try to invade my body, but I never called myself sick: I called myself healed and healthy and FOUGHT the sickness by prayer, KNOWING that JESUS had ALREADY healed me by HIS blood!!!!!!!!!! 😊 So please do not ever believe anyone who calls you, "sick", "sad", "mentally ill", " a drunkard", "a drug addict" or any other negative name (and please do not call yourself anything negative) because you ARE a healed, redeemed, lovely, powerful child of the Most High GOD!!!!!!! 😊 If you are struggling with an addiction, sickness, sin or anything negative, this is NOT WHO you ARE: you FIGHT that evil from a position of KNOWING WHO you ARE, IN CHRIST: you are created in the image of JESUS, and as HE IS, so ARE YOU, in this world!!!!!!!!! 😊 And JESUS ALWAYS gives you COMPLETE victory OVER ALL evil as you diligently seek GOD and follow him continually!!!!!!!! 😊 If there is ANYONE struggling with any sort of sin or evil, please let him call for the true elders of the church (who have the gifts of healing) to come and pray over him, using the anointing of oil which JESUS gives us through his death on the cross, and the prayer of FAITH WILL deliver him and make him whole in EVERY way!!!!!!!!! 😊 Obviously, "elders" in the church, who do not have the gifts of healing are NOT true elders!!!!!!! 😊
In January 2009, I prayed earnestly to GOD Almighty that he would specifically send me to the forensic mental health unit in Luton to comfort and reach the residents there with the gospel (and the staff too)!!!!!!!!!!! 😊 I could not see how GOD could possibly DO this, since you need to break some law to get in, and obviously, I was not going to break the law!!!!!!! 😊 But GOD made a way and PERMITTED the lovely prosecution witnesses to spitefully and very craftily LIE about me in court to get me sent down, and as you know, I was admitted to the hospital on Thursday 23rd July 2015!!!!!!! 😊 I met the resident, Aaron on this day, and told him that JESUS Christ LOVES him FOREVER, and when I asked to pray with him, he consented!!!!!!! 😊 So I used to ask him to pray every day, in JESUS' name, which he did, for about two years, and then I would pray with him only when he requested, which was quite regularly, but tapered off a bit in 2021, so I hardly prayed with him for about two years. Then, at the end of 2023, he started asking for prayer every week, and on Friday 29th December 2023, he asked me to pray for him, NOT once, but EIGHT times, and THEN, on the ninth time, HE PRAYED HIMSELF, asking GOD to bless us and forgive our sins, in JESUS' name!!!!!!!!! 😊 Every day, since I met him, I would tell him that GOD loves him, and early on, I had a bit of inspiration, and I asked him, "How come you've got such a nice ear?" to which he replied, "I don't know"!!!!!!! 😊 Without pestering him, I regularly asked him, "How come you've got such a nice ear?" and he would keep on saying that he did not know!!!!!!! 😊 One day he said, "It just grew like that" so I replied, "How could it just RANDOMLY grow like that? It is so well designed"!!!!!!!!!! 😊 Then finally, after about FIVE YEARS, when I asked him, "How come you've got such a nice ear?" he said, "GOD"!!!!!!! 😊 I said, "YES!!!!!!!!! 😊 And how come you have such a lovely nose?" He replied, "GOD"!!!!!!! 😊 And I said, "And such lovely curly whirly hair?" "GOD" he exclaimed!!!!!!!!! 😊 I gave him a bible in January 2024 and he thanked me on FOUR separate occasions for it, and he also said, "I really LIKE it when you told me that GOD LOVES me, you should do it MORE often"!!!!!!! 😊 And on Sunday 4th February 2024, HE actually said to me, "GOD LOVES YOU forever, Yohan"!!!!!!!!! 😊 So eight and a half years locked up WITH Aaron in the Robin Pinto unit have really paid off, because NOW I am a proud spiritual mother of my new baby son, Aaron!!!!!!!!! 😊 Obviously, the injections were painful, and the poison they injected me with had terrible effects, but all those labour pains were absolutely so WELL worth it!!!!!!! 😊 To KNOW that I will FOREVER be with Aaron, worshipping the Father with all the holy angels as we dance together FOREVER before the throne of GOD in paradise FOREVER is JUST amazing!!!!!!!!! 😊 Wow!!!!!!! 😊 So I cannot THANK GOD enough for permitting my lovely prosecution witnesses to get me sent down!!!!!!! 😊 And JESUS LOVES YOU even MORE than me: he was SO THANKFUL to GOD that GOD permitted those cruel Roman soldiers to HAMMER NAILS THROUGH his hands and feet SO THAT OUR sins may be forgiven SO THAT we may be ecstatically happy, immensely peaceful and incredibly BLESSED FOREVER, IF we CHOOSE to turn from sin to HIM and continually FOLLOW HIM!!!!!!!!! 😊 So please do pray hard for Aaron, that he would GROW in faith and love and follow HARD after JESUS!!!!!!!!! 😊 Amen!!!!!!!!! 😊
And also, I have been sharing my faith with all at the Robin Pinto unit and in all the mental hospitals that I have been in, and I expect MANY to join me in heaven on the last day!!!!!!!!! 😊 One ex-resident was transferred to another hospital in early 2021. I spoke to him on the phone at the end of 2023 and he said that he had been BAPTIZED in the sea near South End on 16th September 2023, and he is really on fire for GOD!!!!!!!!! 😊 Praise GOD!!!!!!! 😊 So I cannot thank and praise GOD enough for PERMITTING my father to take me to a psychiatrist in 1996, and for somebody to lie about me and say that I said that I was JESUS (I am NOT JESUS and I shall never be) and for ALL those other psychiatrists who just blindly believed what the first psychiatrist wrote!!!!!!!!!! 😊 It has been a LONG hard struggle, but so, so, so, so well worth it!!!!!!!!! 😊
On the morning of 19th February 2024, I dreamt: I saw the main prosecution witness (in my case) standing, but unconscious!!!!!!!!!!!! 😊 I had a metal disc shaped instrument that paramedics use to restart the heart of those who have had a heart attack, and I placed it on her, and a big electrical shock went through her body and she woke up, exclaiming, "O, my GOD!!!!!!!!! 😊 JESUS LOVES me!!!!!!! 😊" and she started dancing, praising GOD and running on the spot and doing star jumps!!!!!!!!! 😊 Then she saw me and came running over to me and gave me a big hug and kisses on my cheeks (nothing romantic nor sexual) so PRAISE GOD because HE SAVES and sets free my beloved prosecution witness and he reconciles her to me as friends (nothing romantic nor sexual)!!!!!!!!!!! 😊 PRAISE GOD!!!!!!!!!! 😊 God confirmed this dream when I read an amazingly wonderful prophecy in Isaiah 60, which tells us that the sons of those who afflicted me and ALL those who despised me WILL bow down before the soles of my feet!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😊 Obviously, I do not want ANYONE to literally bow before the soles of my feet, so what GOD is saying is that absolutely SURELY, all eight prosecution witnesses and ALL those who have called me mentally ill, WILL SURELY humble themselves and ASK me to forgive them, and I WILL have the awesome and lovely privilege of absolutely and completely FORGIVING them!!!!!!!!! 😊 PRAISE GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😊 So I celebrated and SANG for joy!!!!!!!!!! 😊
You'll like this one: when I was at Cedars Upper School, I had a really strong crush on one of the girls in my year!!!!!!! 😊 She was SO beautiful that I could NOT look at her, so obviously, there was no way that I would ever be able to talk with her!!!!!! 😊 One day after year assembly, we all went to put our chairs back at the front of the hall as usual. I hadn't realized it, but this girl was coming right behind me with her chair, so when I turned to go out, she was RIGHT THERE, just a foot away from me!!!!!!!!! 😊 I just could NOT take my eyes off her, and I was LITERALLY ROOTED to the ground!!!!!!!!! 😊 I could NOT move!!!!!!!!! 😊 Obviously, GOD is far, far, far more beautiful (not in a sexual way, of course) than ANY girl who has ever lived, so IF we were to see him, we would DIE, he is that stunning!!!!!!!!! 😊 This is why he created the sky on the second day, to shield us from his intense beauty!!!!!!!!! 😊 So, of course, when we go to heaven, we will have special bodies (that are called glorified bodies) that are able to receive and enjoy his incredible beauty!!!!!!!!! 😊 So please do ask GOD to give you tiny glimpses (small enough for you to be able to cope with) of his immense beauty, so that you may be addicted to him forever!!!!!!! 😊 For, if you are completely addicted to him, he WILL make your life amazingly beautiful as you diligently follow him!!!!!!!!! 😊
The pure love of God for you all, is far better than anything in this life: Spreading the love, ecstasy and immense peace of God all day long is far better than anything you can imagine!!!!!!! 😊 Therefore, it is better to stay single and serve Jesus Christ our Lord God, than to marry!!!!!!! 😊 But it is not a sin to marry, so if you wish to marry, you may; and it is also better to marry than to be desperate!!!!!!! 😊 Love is very intimate and private and so cannot be taken lightly for it involves very strong emotions and is highly addictive: a lover has a very strong emotional effect on your mind and heart!!!!!!! 😊 So please be extremely careful if you choose a partner, for bad or broken relationships cause many hurts to both parties. As relationships produce babies and as every child has the right to live with a father and mother who love each other permanently, please make sure that if you start with someone, you want to live with them for life: that you want to be the grand-parent of their grand-children!!!!!!! 😊 Why go out with someone you do not want to be with for life? Would you not then, be planning to break up? Wouldn’t this bring trouble and pain to you and others? So please do only go out with someone you really like AND get on well with also as a friend!!!!!!! 😊 Why go out with someone who is externally very attractive, but just does your head in if you lived with them? And please do not think that you can have a casual relationship!!!!!!! 😊 How can such an intimate and powerful thing ever be casual? A lover always has a strong effect on you, whether you like it or not!!!!!!! 😊 Once a young man has started with an un-betrothed girl, the relationship should be for LIFE, so please choose wisely: I meet young ladies in Leighton Buzzard who have ended up with boyfriends who mess them around, or reject them, or just want to do evil with them to boast, or who are cruel or unfaithful: and it tears my heart so much that I weep tears of love with screams of compassion as I pray my heart out for them!!!!!!! 😊 Some women mess around with men too and rejection BREAKS a man, so please beware of the adulterous, the immoral and whores and avoid them like the plague!!!!!!! 😊 Please test and assess a potential lover extremely carefully, beloved friends and only go out with a perfect match for you, as GOD shows!!!!!!! 😊 If you have a crush or fall in love with someone who is no good for you, who says, “No”, or who cannot be yours, you can just as easily fall back out of love or lose your crush on them by much intense prayer (maybe with a friend and/or fasting) in Jesus!!!!!!! 😊 If you are asked out, you CAN say, “Let’s just be friends first and then I’ll decide”!!!!!!! 😊 Please do not go out with someone just because they look good!!!!!!!! 😊 If you do not get on well as friends you are heading for disaster, for good looks quickly lose their sparkle!!!!!!! 😊 And why go out with someone who only looks good when you can have someone who looks stunning, and is ALSO a lovely friend and a great parent, if you’d only seek God & wait for his choice!!!!!!! 😊 And please do treat a potential lover as a brother or sister until you marry!!!!!!! 😊 And please remember, time is SHORT (we have to reach our generation before they pass away) so let those who have wives live as though they did NOT!!!!!!! 😊 If you are already in a relationship that isn’t working well, please work at it with much love, tenacity and prayer and get (at least your side of it) to work!!!!!!! 😊 Never give up!!!!!!!! 😊 God hates divorce and break-up of any relationship (for he loves everyone so much and so hates the pains, woes and troubles of break-ups) so please never divorce nor reject a partner who is legally yours (before God)!!!!!!! 😊 Marriage is a promise made between a man and his girl: so if you tell a girl that you love her or fancy her, you can NOT undo what you said, so IF she accepts, this relationship should be LIFE-LONG, and you should confirm the relationship by making marital promises!!!!!!! 😊 If you are physically intimate with a girl (in a sexual way) then you JOIN where you touched, so you are JOINED and you SHOULD make marital promises to make your relationship permament!!!!!!! 😊 So if you wish to marry, please be careful to ONLY start with a girl who has NEVER been betrothed before or a young widow!!!!!!! 😊 If you have been rejected or divorced, please do forgive as Jesus forgives us through his blood (for that will give YOU great peace & much joy) & please do continue praying for your lover, whether or not they return, and please do NOT put ANY hope in them returning, for you ALWAYS have the Holy Spirit who is SO loving, kind, forgiving, gentle and wonderful and is far, far, far better than any human spouse!!!!!!! 😊 And remember, whether you marry or not on earth JESUS will always be your spiritual lover from heaven!!!!!!! 😊 Yes, he died in agony on a cross for us, but rose again from the dead to give us power (by faith) over sin & Death so we may be holy as God is holy, & so we may be HIS spiritual lover in the Holy Spirit forever!!!!!!! 😊 So please thank Jesus for dying for us, give him all of your heart, soul, strength, life & mind forever, & be HIS spiritual lover by faith, so his beauty, joy & peace may always overflow superabundantly in your lives forever!!!!!!! 😊 May grace, peace, power, pure love & mercy be always yours in abundance, by intimacy with God through Jesus Christ our Lord!!!!!!! 😊 Amen!!!!!!! 😊
One reason WHY I write these things to you all, is NOT to say, "Look how great Johann is" or, "Isn't Yohan a great Christian" because the truth is, that, as a child, I stood up in Sunday school and PREACHED the big-bang theory and PROCLAIMED that GOD did NOT create the universe, but that it all came about by a big bang. Murderers kill the body, but I was far worse than a murderer because I KILLED the SOULS of my Sunday school class-mates. So I am probably a much worse sinner than you, so ANY goodness or feats that I have done is ENTIRELY due to the amazing grace of our Lord and Saviour, JESUS Christ!!!!!!!!! 😊 Praise HIM!!!!!!!! 😊 So ANYTHING that I have done for the LOVE of GOD, YOU CAN DO also!!!!!!!!!!! 😊 You are ABLE, by GOD's grace, to LOVE others and completely forgive them, just as I love all the lovely psychiatrists and the prosecution witnesses!!!!!!! 😊 Do NOT let anyone out-love you!!!!!!!!! 😊 BE JESUS' number ONE!!!!!!! 😊 I am NOT any more special than YOU, for YOU have unique abilities and talents which I simply (nor anyone else) does NOT have!!!!!!!!! 😊 And I am happy with that!!!!!!!!! 😊 I am happy that I am NOT the best guitarist in the world or even in Leighton Buzzard: I am happy to let OTHERS play flashy things on the guitar for JESUS: I just play a few chords!!!!!!!!! 😊 But I am passionate, extremely passionate at being JESUS' number ONE spiritual lover, and I pray that YOU too would CHOOSE to be THE ONE whom JESUS LOVES!!!!!!!!! 😊
You won't believe this one, but before I became a Christian, Menaka wrote to me and mentioned that her brother-in-law, James, had visited one of the local Christian schools in Colombo, and spoke to the students about JESUS!!!!!!!! 😊 I did not say anything, but I thought, "I could NEVER talk to ANYONE about JESUS"!!!!!!!!! 😊 Obviously, GOD had better ideas, for what I THOUGHT I could not do, HE ENABLED, and now I cannot BUT TELL all about JESUS to EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!! 😊 SO please do take courage, my friend, for though you may THINK that you do not have the courage and strength to tell the whole world about JESUS, IF you have faith as small as a little mustard seed, NOTHING will be impossible for you, my friend!!!!!!! 😊 Be bold!!!!!!! 😊 BE strong!!!!!!!!! 😊 For the Lord your GOD is with you wherever you go!!!!!!! 😊 Before you know it, you will be walking in the glory of GOD with JESUS in ALL you do and say, and HIS boldness and strength WILL be IN you forever!!!!!!!!! 😊 Walking with JESUS is by FAR the most exhilarating experience ever!!!!!!! 😊 So please DO walk with HIM dressed in white!!!!!!! 😊
Faith is the substance of things hoped for and IS the evidence of things unseen. Faith is tangible. Faith is the proof. Faith is unseen but absolutely inebriating!!!!!!! 😊 There are three spatial dimensions in this universe and there is also a spiritual dimension!!!!!!! 😊 Just as any two points on a one dimensional line can be joined together by accessing a second dimension, so by using the spiritual dimension, we can join Jesus' death on a cross about two thousand years ago TO TODAY, by faith!!!!!!! 😊 Now to address THIS power of faith, Greek has an AORIST tense which is separate from the past, present and future tense that the English language has, and plugs us into the spiritual dimension. The aorist tense is a completed event in the past that is happening now or is YET to happen: for instance; "I WENT fishing TOMORROW and caught lots of fish!!!!!!! 😊 I had a great time!!!!!!! 😊" Now, it gets even better, for there is a subjunctive aorist tense (subjunctive means that you just ADD a clause) e.g.: "I WENT fishing TOMORROW and even IF all the rivers and oceans ran dry, we CAUGHT loads of fish"!!!!!!! 😊 This is WHY Peter in the scriptures says, "by his stripes we WERE healed" and ANY promise we find in the bible we can connect that to us NOW, RIGHT NOW, by faith in the cross of Christ!!!!!!! 😊 Solomon said, "A hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a hope fulfilled is a tree of life": so waiting for anything always causes stress! Faith destroys ALL the stress of waiting for we are "there" by faith, which is why John says, "This is the final moment" for Jesus Christ is coming back yesterday, today and forever!!!!!!! 😊 So I pray hard that you would all have the faith of Jesus, walk as he walked and so ALWAYS enjoy the super-abundant life he died for, for YOU to have (by faith) in his resurrection!!!!!!! 😊
The reason why babies sleep like a baby is because all babies are good and perfect gifts from heaven: so babies sleep like a baby BECAUSE they are fresh out of heaven!!!!!!! 😊 Little children jump, dance, skip around, giggle and sing for the same reason: they are fresh out of heaven!!!!!! 😊 We were ALL born with a God-given intense peace and great joy about us, SO, if we do any sort of sin (which includes cruelty, greed, lust, arrogance, hatred, anger, adultery, rebellion, slander, & false witness) we unplug our connection with heaven above and that fresh heavenly life we were all born with leaks out of us, AND we plug ourselves INTO Death which produces all sorts of fears and curses in us, for the soul that sins, receives Death, for the LAW of sin and Death says that ALL who sin WILL receive Death. [The wickedness others do to us has the potential to ruin us too, EXCEPT we overcome their wickedness BY good] But God SO loved the world that he gave his only begotten SON, JESUS CHRIST to die for us, so that in HIS death, we may be freed from the law of sin and Death, and in his resurrection we may receive freedom and power (BY FAITH) to walk as HE walked and live as he lived, SO THAT that fresh heavenly super-abundant life may be restored IN US!!!!!!! 😊 Amen!!!!!!! 😊 So DO please thank Jesus for dying in our place on the cross, honestly admit your faults TO GOD and give God your heart, your soul, your strength and life and SO live an ecstatic blessed life of peace; for HE will make a much better job of running your life than you ever possibly could!!!!!!! 😊 Praise God!!!!!!! 😊
I like having hot showers and baths because they are REFRESHING and they make me CLEAN!!!!!!! 😊 I always thought that being clean is the absence of dirt ... but actually, it is ALSO the presence of FRESH and CLEAN skin, isn't it? So, I'd also thought that the cleansing of my soul from sin, by faith in the blood of Jesus Christ, was the absence of bad, sin and wickedness from my soul, BUT it is ALSO the presence of holiness, isn't it? For whatever happens, I always have thoughts in my heart and mind, so the blood of Jesus Christ cleanses my heart and mind BY CHANGING the attitudes, desires and thoughts of my mind, heart and soul, by continual faith: FROM sinful pursuits INTO holy desires, attitudes and pursuits!!!!!!!!! 😊 By faith, we understand that doing ANY sin cuts us off from all the immense blessings of heaven and plugs us into Death, and Death brings all sorts of fears, worries, sorrows, stresses and curses into our lives, which slowly kill and destroy us. So, to be cleansed of my sins, I must REPLACE all sinful and unproductive thoughts, attitudes and persuasions with the correct HOLY thoughts, attitudes and persuasions which the Word of GOD supplies as we pray, study the Word and diligently follow JESUS!!!!!!! 😊 This process starts when we honestly admit to GOD the things we've done wrong (with a broken and contrite heart (because of all the terrible PAIN we have caused GOD and others by OUR sins)) and ASK him to heal us, change us and USE us to be vessels of perfect love!!!!!!! 😊 Therefore, by GOD's amazingly wonderful GRACE in Jesus Christ our Lord through HIS blood and resurrection power (by faith) please REPLACE unbelief and doubt with the continual absolute faith of GOD; REPLACE anger and aggression with gentleness and patience; REPLACE arrogance and boasting with humility and meekness; REPLACE bitterness and grudges with forgiveness and love; REPLACE sexual immorality and adultery with holiness and purity and celibacy or holy marriage; REPLACE drunkenness and drug addiction with prayer in the Spirit and worship of GOD; REPLACE worldliness, foolishness and secular pursuits with bible feasting and meditation; REPLACE slander, dishonesty, lying and deceit with truth and honesty; REPLACE selfishness, theft and the love of money with generosity and selfless love; REPLACE grumbling, dis-satisfaction, complaining and frustration with exuberant praise to our wonderful GOD, great thankfulness and overflowing gratitude; REPLACE hatred and criticism with loving-kindness and humble appreciation; REPLACE worldly wisdom, speculation, false religion and assumptions with TRUE wisdom from above and REPLACE idle, foul and unproductive speech with the pure and holy Word of GOD!!!!!!! 😊 Amen!!!!!!! 😊 And so please do CHANGE what you love and desire AND what you WANT, so that you ONLY love GOD with absolutely EVERYTHING in you, and DESIRE and WANT ONLY what GOD wants for you in your life!!!!!!!!! 😊 FOR IF you delight yourself greatly in the Lord, you will ALWAYS HAVE WHAT YOU WANT, because HE WILL ENSURE that you WILL receive the desires of your heart, so you will ALWAYS be amazingly blessed!!!!!!! 😊 And ALSO, because GOD wants and desires you to ALWAYS be incredibly blessed, REPLACE ALL fears, worries, stresses and anxieties with perfect peace (by faith); REPLACE ALL sicknesses, disabilities and diseases with perfect health (by faith); REPLACE poverty with provision (by faith); REPLACE tiredness, frailty and decrepitness with energy, vigour, youth and strength (by faith); REPLACE insomnia and nightmares with beautiful sleep and sweet dreams (by faith); REPLACE ALL shame and condemnation with dignity, freedom and forgiveness (by faith); REPLACE ALL dejection, despair and discouragement with sure hope and great courage (by faith); REPLACE ALL sorrow, sadness and depression with ecstatic joy (by faith) and REPLACE every curse with incredible blessings (by faith)!!!!!!! 😊 Amen!!!!!!! 😊
After King David committed adultery and murder, he wrote in psalm 51 (when he was repenting) "Surely my mother conceived me in sin"!!!!!!! 😊 Clearly, David is not referring to his physical mother for she was NOT a prostitute nor an adulteress, but the faithful wife of his natural father, Jesse, and Jesse's marriage was PURE as it is written in Hebrews, "Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed UNDEFILED" (or PURE)!!!!!!!!!!! 😊 David could NOT be referring to his natural mother because sin can NOT be inherited otherwise JESUS would be a sinner, since he is the son of David, the son of Abraham, the son of Mary and the son of man!!!!!!! 😊 So what does David mean? Well, JESUS said, "EXCEPT you HATE your father and mother, you can NOT be my disciple"!!!!!!!!! 😊 Hate is a VERY strong word, which means that you are vehemently against and want to KILL your father and mother, so clearly, JESUS is NOT talking about our earthly parents, BUT the father of sinners: the devil and the mother of sinners: LUST!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😊 So LUST is the mother which King David is referring to when he wrote, "Surely, in sin, my mother conceived me"!!!!!!! 😊 So every new born baby is fresh out of heaven and pure, which is WHY it is such a great joy when one is born!!!!!!! 😊 Paul said that IN Adam, ALL die, but IN Christ, ALL shall be made alive!!!!!!! 😊 Clearly, to be made alive IN Christ, we MUST believe and have faith in his name, so, the "ALL" is ALL who believe; and if a man sins, he is IN Adam, and DIES to GOD, so the "ALL" is ALL who have sinned, which obviously, does NOT include Christ!!!!!!! 😊 Christ was NEVER "IN Adam" because he NEVER sinned, so it was when we committed our first sin that we became, "IN Adam". So, as by one man sin entered into the world, and Death by sin; and so Death passed upon all men, BECAUSE all have sinned. But JESUS RESCUES us from sin through his blood and has REDEEMED US, transformed us by HIS word, sanctified us and JUSTIFIED US!!!!!!!!! 😊 Praise HIM!!!!!!!!! 😊
Yes, Jesus Christ our Lord, paid for ALL our sins on his cross, so that we, who continually believe, are MADE the righteousness of GOD, in Christ, by his resurrection power!!!!!!!! 😊 In Romans 3, Paul clearly states that there is nobody righteous, no, NOT one!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😊 But in the very next verse, he says, "There is none that seeks after God" and quite clearly, we, his saints, whole-heartedly seek after GOD!!!!!!! 😊 So there ARE those who seek after GOD!!!!!!!!!! 😊 So here, in Romans 3, Paul is NOT saying that there are no saints or nobody is perfect, but telling us about how we WERE, BEFORE we became Christians!!!!!!!!! 😊 We WERE completely unrighteous and we did NOT seek after GOD, BUT now, the LOVE of GOD has been poured out into our hearts because we believe in JESUS and ALWAYS FOLLOW HIM, so we HAVE been MADE the righteousness of GOD in Christ our Lord!!!!!!!!! 😊 So, we, by constant faith, are completely righteous in every way, which is why John, in his epistle, boldly says that whosoever is born of GOD does NOT sin, in fact, he can NOT sin because GOD's seed is in him!!!!!!!!! 😊 So, because you continually believe, you are born of GOD and do NOT sin, and in fact, you can NOT sin because GOD's seed is in you!!!!!!! 😊 So you are never angry, rude or unkind, but infinitely patient and amazingly kind!!!!!!! 😊 You never hold a grudge against anyone, nor are bitter, nor have any hard feelings against anyone, nor condemn anyone, nor put anyone down (even in jest) but you always freely forgive, overlook offences and love your enemies as JESUS first loved you and forgave you!!!!!!! 😊 You never get irritated, nor upset, nor provoked by anyone or anything and never take offence, because you always completely trust in Jesus and keep your mind stayed on him, so his perfect peace always rules in you!!!!!!! 😊 You never look down on anyone, but in complete humility, you consider others better than yourself!!!!!!! 😊 You are never unwise or foolish, but amazingly wise through the word of GOD, which is alive in you!!!!!!! 😊 You never grumble, complain nor criticize, but give abundant thanks with a grateful heart!!!!!!! 😊 You are never even slightly immoral, even in thought, nor greedy nor selfish, but always completely pure in mind and so holy!!!!!!!!! 😊 You are never arrogant nor boastful, but always completely humble and very meek!!!!!!! 😊 You are never indifferent, but are moved to tears with compassion for the homeless, broken hearted, suffering people and the lost!!!!!!! 😊 You never fear at all, but you are completely bold and incredibly courageous, because the perfect love of GOD, in you, casts out all fear and every curse!!!!!!! 😊 You never worry because you always cast all your cares on Jesus, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, so the peace of GOD which is far above all understanding always guards your heart and mind in Christ Jesus!!!!!!!!! 😊 This is why JESUS said, "BE perfect as your Father who is in the heavens is perfect"!!!!!!! 😊 Notice, Jesus did not say, "Try to be perfect" or, "It may be a good idea to be perfect" but, "BE PERFECT" because, this is WHO YOU ARE in him, RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!! 😊 So please DO be perfect as your Father, who is in the heavens, is perfect, and do not sin!!!!!!!!! 😊 Obviously, the perfect ones, his saints, do not think that they are complete, at all, nor do they claim to be without sin, but they pursue hard after righteousness, true holiness, perfect love and all his goodness, by continual faith in JESUS!!!!!!!!! 😊 And IF (not when) anyone does sin, we have an advocate with the Father, JESUS Christ the righteous one, who is the propitiation for our sins, and not only ours, but also for the whole world!!!!!!! 😊 So please, dearly beloved friends, consider yourself DEAD to sin, alive to GOD and walk as JESUS walked!!!!!!!!! 😊
Faith is being sure of what you do NOT see, so by faith, we believe the Word of GOD and understand that, on the cross, JESUS paid the terrible price to deliver us from EVERY sin and EVERY curse; so IT IS DONE!!!!!!!!!! 😊 IT IS a DONE deal!!!!!!!!!! 😊 So, IF there is ANY sort of sinful habit in your life, for example, greed, selfishness, lust, false witness, lying, theft, unbelief, fornication, adultery, sexual immorality, anger, hatred, spite, unforgiveness, drug addiction, foul language, the love of money or any sinful habit, we destroy that habit by the prayer of faith FROM A POSITION of COMPLETE victory: we KNOW that we have the victory OVER that sin, and we consider ourselves DEAD to sin and ALIVE to GOD, and we war against that sin by constant prayer and maybe fasting!!!!!!!!!! 😊 The same is true of ANY curse: if you are fearful, anxious, worried, stressed, sad, lonely, sick or under any form of curse, we THANK JESUS for bearing that curse in his body on the cross, and we FIGHT IT by the prayer of faith FROM A position of COMPLETE VICTORY IN JESUS Christ our Lord!!!!!!! 😊 So we REST in the Lord, and as we persistently FOLLOW him, his blood works in our life to completely deliver us, as we keep our minds pure by faith in JESUS!!!!!!! 😊 So please DO take up the sword of the Spirit which is the Word of GOD and PUT TO DEATH all the works of the flesh and EVERY curse as you follow HARD after JESUS!!!!!!!!!! 😊 Praise the Lord!!!!!!! 😊 Amen!!!!!!! 😊 Obviously, this works for ALL prayer requests: CONSIDER your request DONE, for it is executed by the blood and resurrection of JESUS Christ about 2,000 years AGO, AND IT WILL be yours if you continue to pray according to the WILL of GOD!!!!!!! 😊 May perfect peace ALWAYS OVERFLOW in your hearts FOREVER as you constantly FOLLOW JESUS!!!!!!! 😊 Amen!!!!!!! 😊
JESUS's undeserved grace and favour towards us is incredibly amazing!!!!!!! 😊 He was beaten in the face SO MUCH by the Roman soldiers that he was unrecognizable, so that we, by constant faith, may be RECOGNIZED and acknowledged by our heavenly Father!!!!!!! 😊 In the garden of Gethsemane, his soul was FILLED with sorrow to the point of DEATH, to lift all OUR sorrows and heart-break, turn our mourning into dancing and FILL us to overflowing with ecstatic joy, by our complete faith!!!!!!!! 😊 He was spat on, mocked and ridiculed (by the Roman soldiers) to remove all OUR shame and inhibitions and undo the curses of all reviling against us, by our true faith!!!!!!! 😊 He was falsely accused by MANY false witnesses so WE may be vindicated and those who falsely accuse us may be proved wrong, as we diligently FOLLOW him!!!!!! 😊 He prayed ALL through the night on more than one occasion to heal OUR insomnia, so that WE may always have beautiful sleep and sweet dreams, as WE trust in him!!!!!!!! 😊 He lived with the poor so that WE may have an abundant life and an abundant provision, as we continue diligently in prayer!!!!!!!!! 😊 He was rejected by his own people so that WE may never be lonely, suffer despair nor have any suicidal tendencies, because we CHOOSE to receive HIS love!!!!!!! 😊 In the desert he was weak, tired, hungry and thirsty so that WE may be strong, tireless, satisfied and stay young, and NOT grow decrepit, by constantly FOLLOWING him!!!!!!! 😊 He was also hot in the day and cold at night so that WE may be cool in the heat and warm in the cold, as we FOLLOW him always!!!!!!!! 😊 He was betrayed for money, so that WE may be healed of all betrayals and rejection by keeping our eyes FIXED on him!!!!!!!! 😊 He was homeless so that WE may have a home, by CHOOSING to always live with him!!!!!!!! 😊 He was whipped and crucified to heal OUR diseases and to take away OUR pain and all hatred against us, as WE choose HIM in ALL we do!!!!!!!!! 😊 He was stark naked on the cross so that WE may be clothed, as we CHOOSE him always!!!!!!!! 😊 He was called crazy and demon possessed to heal US from all those who call us deluded, mad, demented, a demon, a fool or mentally ill, as we trust GOD always!!!!!!!!!! 😊 In the garden of Gethsemane, his sweat became LIKE drops of blood to remove all OUR fears, by his powerful word which lives in us, by our constant faith in him!!!!!!!!!! 😊 He carried his cross until he couldn't to remove all OUR worries, stress and anxiety, because we CHOOSE to RUN in the paths of HIS commands!!!!!!!! 😊 He was rejected so that WE may be accepted in the Father, by CHOOSING to walk in his love, always!!!!!!!!! 😊 He actually DESTROYED EVERY curse IN us by his blood (which is his life) if we CHOOSE to live by constant faith and so give up everything for him and follow him out of darkness into his marvellous light, where there are innumerable blessings and rivers of delights FOREVER!!!!!!!!! 😊
Have you ever done a post-mortem for JESUS? Because, he did not die from blood loss, nor was it the nails which killed him, and he did not suffocate like the two brigands who were crucified with him (when their legs were broken) so HOW did he die? The religious leaders vehemently mocked him and blasphemed him ALL DAY long, so JESUS actually died of a broken heart SO THAT OUR sins may be forgiven!!!!!!!!! 😊 Praise the Lord!!!!!!!!! 😊 HIS SOUL was made an offering for OUR sins!!!!!!!!! 😊 He who knew NO sin was MADE sin, so that WE may be forgiven!!!!!!!!!! 😊 Praise GOD!!!!!!! 😊 He died OUR death, so that, IN HIM, we may LIVE forever!!!!!!!!! 😊
GOD does absolutely LOVE you ever so much so he desperately desires for you to reap a super-abundant harvest of innumerable blessings!!!!!!! 😊 But because GOD is love, he will NOT force his blessings on anyone!!!!!!!!! 😊 So GOD says, "CHOOSE life and NOT death!!!!!!!! 😊 CHOOSE innumerable, incredible blessings and NOT terrible curses!!!!!!! 😊 CHOOSE me and my ways and NOT your ways!!!!!!! 😊" So what we reap is completely dependent on what we CHOOSE to sow!!!!!!! 😊 If we sow evil thoughts in our mind and heart, we will speak evil and do evil, and so reap terrible curses, but if we sow good thoughts in our mind and heart, we will speak good and do good, and so reap incredible blessings!!!!!!! 😊 But, as you know, we have ALL sinned, and so corrupted our mind and heart, but because GOD loves us absolutely SO much, he gave his Son, Jesus Christ to die for us on a cross, so that, by constant faith in him and by his resurrection power, we may have a new mind and heart, and so walk in perfect love and inherit all sorts of wonderful blessings!!!!!!!! 😊 So please DO accept JESUS into your mind and heart, walk in step with the Holy Spirit and let GOD root out all arrogance, bitterness, doubt, indifference, distractions, grumbling, laziness, immorality, selfishness and idle or sinful thoughts or attitudes and let GOD sow humility, forgiveness, faith, compassion, discipline, overflowing gratitude, holiness and selfless thoughts and attitudes as you STUDY the Word and constantly follow Jesus!!!!!!! 😊 And though you will be persecuted and have hardships for a season, keep on resisting wrong thoughts and attitudes and they WILL disappear and you will SOON harvest immense peace, inexpressible joy, perfect love and innumerable blessings by having a mind that is FIXED on JESUS!!!!!!! 😊 For as high as the heavens are above the earth, SO HIGH are GOD's thoughts above our thoughts and GOD's ways above our ways, so obviously, GOD KNOWS far, far, far better how to run our lives than us, so please let HIM run your life by loving and forgiving others as JESUS first loved and forgave YOU, being holy, patient, considerate, kind and righteous as JESUS is, and by being willing to GLADLY die ANY DEATH for OTHERS as JESUS died for us whilst we were still sinners!!!!!!!!! 😊 So please do NOT give up on loving anyone, but continue walking in perfect love, by complete faith in the Son of GOD who loved us and gave himself for us, because THIS is how we have total victory and all the incredible blessings of heaven ALWAYS ever-increasingly overflowing in our lives, TODAY and every day, FOREVER!!!!!!!!! 😊 So please do ADDICT yourselves to purity, love, prayer, thanksgiving, righteousness, praise and worship, and the WORD of GOD!!!!!!! 😊 RUN a straight race!!!!!!! 😊 Don't look back!!!!!!! 😊 Never give up and keep on keeping on!!!!!!! 😊 GOD has amazing plans for YOU!!!!!!! 😊 Be STRONG and VERY courageous!!!!!!! 😊 Do NOT fear!!!!!!! 😊 GOD is ALWAYS with you!!!!!!! 😊 May immense peace, incredible grace, mercy and all the love of GOD ALWAYS super-abound in you ALL, through JESUS Christ our Lord, FOREVER!!!!!!! 😊 Amen!!!!!!! 😊
One of Satan's biggest lies is to make us BELIEVE that we NEED money!!!!!!!!! 😊 For clearly, money cannot give us air to breathe!!!!!!! 😊 Money cannot make rain, and without any rain, there would be no food or drink for us!!!!!!!!!!! 😊 Money cannot make the sun shine!!!!!!! 😊 Money cannot make plants or creatures grow!!!!!!! 😊 Money cannot give peace to the fearful, sweet dreams to those who have nightmares, sight to the blind, hearing to the deaf, life to the dead, forgiveness to sinners, healing to the broken-hearted, joy to the depressed, sure hope to the discouraged; and money cannot stop storms, tsunamis, earthquakes or accidents nor keep us from dying!!!!!!!!! 😊 But obviously, GOD is very able to do ALL these things and he gives us air to breathe, rain to water the earth, he makes the sun shine, and he makes the plants and creatures grow!!!!!!! 😊 GOD is infinitely MORE powerful than money!!!!!!!!! 😊 So, obviously, IF we have bills or rent to pay, or bus or train-fares to pay, or want money for anything else, GOD is WELL able to provide for us, IF we CHOOSE to trust in him and follow HIM!!!!!!!!! 😊 There are multi-billionaires all over the world, and clearly, NOBODY needs to have so much money for themselves, so GOD could, if he wanted, just speak to one of them in a dream and get them to send you a cheque in the post for a billion pounds, couldn't he? GOD is able to do INFINITELY more than you are able to think, or ask, isn't he?
GOD obviously absolutely LOVES everyone, so he wants everyone to be blessed beyond their wildest dreams, but because GOD is love, he will NOT force his blessings on anyone!!!!!!!!! 😊 So GOD says, "CHOOSE life and NOT death!!!!!!!! 😊 CHOOSE innumerable, incredible blessings and NOT terrible curses!!!!!!! 😊 CHOOSE me and my ways and NOT selfish ways!!!!!!! 😊"
Of course, IF you have money or anything of this world, please use what you have very, very wisely to bless OTHERS, making sure that you do NOT give to the rich!!!!!!! 😊 It is NOT necessarily wrong to have certain things, but please make sure that your stuff or money does NOT HAVE YOU!!!!!!! 😊
But let sexual immorality, all uncleanness or covetousness not even be named amongst you as befits saints; neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, NOR JOKING, which is not beautiful, BUT RATHER, giving of thanks, for you know that no sexually immoral one, nor unclean one nor covetous one, who is an idolater, has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and GOD!!!!!!!!!!! Let no-one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things, the wrath of GOD comes upon the sons of disobedience; therefore, do NOT be partakers with them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😊 So, please make sure that you do NOT joke (for SO happy is he who is ALWAYS reverent!!!!!!! 😊) nor are sexually immoral nor are unclean!!!!!!!!!!! 😊 Amen!!!!!!!! 😊
Romans 11 tells us NOT to be haughty, but to FEAR, for if GOD did not spare the natural branches, he MAY NOT spare you either! Consider the goodness and severity of GOD: severity towards those who fell, but goodness towards you IF you continue in his goodness OTHERWISE you also MAY BE cut off! So it is NOT once saved, always saved, but HE WHO endures to the END shall be saved!!!!!!!!! 😊 Therefore, please work out your salvation with FEAR and TREMBLING!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😊
The fear of the Lord is to HATE all evil, so we absolutely HATE and DETEST ALL lust, greed, selfishness, gambling, smoking, fornication, sexual immorality, drunkenness, uncleanness (which includes masturbation) hatred, arrogance, laziness, slander, lying, theft and ALL sin, and therefore, by GOD's amazing strength which is IN us, by faith in JESUS Christ and his resurrection power, we DO NOT do these things, but walk perfectly as JESUS is perfect!!!!!!!!!! 😊
To repent means to GIVE UP sinning!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😊 So, IF we used to lust after girls, we ADMIT our sins to GOD (with a broken heart for all the pain we have caused him) (and the blood of JESUS Christ his Son, cleanses us from all unrighteousness) and make VOWS to never lust after a girl again!!!!!!! 😊 And GOD GIVES us incredible strength, by his resurrection power which is IN US, by faith in JESUS Christ, to KEEP our vows forever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😊 This approach will work for ANY sin, so please NEVER gamble, lust, be sexually immoral, smoke, be worldly, selfish or unclean (which includes not masturbating); never steal, lie or be arrogant or sin in any way and GOD's amazingly wonderful peace and happiness will ALWAYS FILL your life!!!!!!!! 😊
So many people SAY that they believe in GOD, but actually, they do NOT believe in GOD, they believe in what THEY THINK God is like!!!!!!!!! 😊 Some think that GOD is a tyrant who sits in heaven with a big stick, just itching and waiting to bash you on the head if you do something wrong, which is NOT true, because GOD is ALL loving and incredibly merciful!!!!!!! 😊 Some people believe that GOD is far away and doesn't really care, which is NOT true, because GOD lives inside EVERYONE, and he absolutely CARES!!!!!!! 😊 Some people claim to believe in GOD, but IF they believe ANYTHING which does NOT agree with the Word of GOD, then they are a liar, and the truth is NOT in them, so please do NOT believe them, even IF they call themselves a Christian, or a "pastor", "evangelist" or any other sort of theologian!!!!!!!!! 😊 If you encounter them, love them, listen to them, but CHECK out EVERYTHING they say against the Word of Truth, and accept the good and reject the bad!!!!!!!!!! 😊 Some people think that you have to DO all sorts of good things to MAKE GOD love you, and if you do bad things, he hates you, which again is NOT true!!!!!!!!! 😊 GOD absolutely LOVES everyone, and there is NOTHING that anyone can DO to make him love us, because he ALREADY loves us!!!!!!!!!!! 😊 Knowing this, is how we may be always incredibly blessed, because, because we KNOW that he ABSOLUTELY loves us, we KNOW that he is ALWAYS with us in every situation, and so there is NO fear or curse in our lives because HIS perfect love destroys all fear and curse, just as light just obliterates darkness!!!!!!!! 😊 And because we have HIS amazing love in our hearts, we are empowered to LOVE others as he first loved us, bless those who curse us, pray compassionately for those who spitefully abuse, slander and ridicule us and completely forgive and love our enemies, without having ANY hard feelings or bitterness in our lives at all, and to be holy as he is holy!!!!!!!!! 😊
By his blood and resurrection power which is IN you, by constant faith, JESUS Christ has set your heart completely FREE, so please ALWAYS RUN carefully in the paths of his commands!!!!!!! 😊 RUN in perfect love, complete humility, true righteousness, purity, ecstatic joy, immense peace and ALL his amazing goodness and incredible blessings (in word, thought and deed) forever!!!!!!!!! 😊 Incredibly blessed FOREVER are the pure in heart for they shall SEE GOD!!!!!!! 😊 So when persecutions and diverse hardships come your way because of your faith in JESUS, consider them PURE joy (though they are painful) because you KNOW that GOD will USE these difficulties to REFINE and purify your heart, to make you incredibly tenacious, perfect and complete, lacking NOTHING!!!!!!! 😊 So IN everything and FOR everyone (whatever anyone says or does) overflow with thanks, because you KNOW, by faith, that GOD WILL work amazing goodness for you, out of all the evil done to you, because you absolutely LOVE GOD and diligently follow him!!!!!!! 😊
GOD is well able to do exceedingly abundantly ABOVE all the we can ask or even think according to the incredible power that works IN us by our constant faith in JESUS, so there is NO vile addiction, bad habit or sin that you cannot overcome!!!!!!!!! 😊 So please DO continue to be incredibly polite, infinitely patient, wonderfully kind, so tender-hearted, compassionate and completely forgiving towards EVERYONE, and amazingly bold and courageous as you walk with GOD by his amazing wisdom, and SO overcome ALL evil, and REST in perfect peace and intense joy ALWAYS!!!!!!! 😊 So, in trials, NEVER grumble, get angry, be bitter or resentful but ALWAYS OVERLOOK offences and be at peace with everyone, and walk in perfect love, for there in NO fear or curse in love!!!!!!! 😊 And have a constant belief that GOD HAS (past tense) brought you out into a FREE place, FULL of amazing blessings which ever increase FOREVER; for GOD calls those things that are NOT as though they WERE; and so, by constant faith, CONSIDER IT DONE!!!!!!! 😊 For faith is being SURE of what we do NOT see, as we absolutely TRUST GOD!!!!!!! 😊 And this SURE hope, that we have, by constant faith, does NOT disappoint!!!!!!!! 😊 For he IS so, so, so good, and his amazing love goes on forever!!!!!!! 😊 So please DO continue to be constantly faithful to GOD even in difficult places (like prison or hospital) and be incredibly happy and glad, because the blood of JESUS, GOD's words (which are the ONLY words you speak) and your willingness to DIE for JESUS and lay down your life for OTHERS, LIFT you high above ALL fear, worry, loneliness, stress, anxiety and every sickness and curse on WINGS as eagle's!!!!!!! 😊 Praise GOD!!!!!!!!! 😊
Worship the Lord in the incredible beauty of holiness, for he HAS made you awesome, wonderful, talented, intelligent, attractive and lovely!!!!!!! 😊 You are one of a kind!!!!!!! 😊 Absolutely unique and SO precious!!!!!!! 😊 You have your own special abilities, talents and skills which NOBODY else has!!!!!!!! 😊 GOD has his own special plan for you, which ONLY YOU can fulfil!!!!!!! 😊 He has an incredibly amazing future for YOU!!!!!!! 😊 You are a child of the Most High GOD!!!!!!! 😊 You are ROYALTY!!!!!!!!! 😊 So BE WHO you are, in Christ Jesus our Lord and so ABSTAIN from ALL fleshly passions which war against the soul!!!!!!!!! 😊 Flee from ALL unrighteousness and NEVER give up on GOD!!!!!!! 😊 Choose to follow Jesus in every moment of every day, and, by HIS amazingly wonderful grace that works IN you by your constant faith, do NOT sin!!!!!!!!! 😊 Open your heart to him, and LOVE him with ALL that is in you!!!!!!! 😊 You are his prize possession, and he is yours FOREVER!!!!!!!!! 😊 Amen!!!!!!! 😊
You are a child of the Most High GOD!!!!!!!!! 😊 You are created in the image of GOD!!!!!!!!! 😊 You are made the righteousness of GOD IN JESUS Christ our Lord!!!!!!!!! 😊 So, whatever your past is, that does NOT define WHO you ARE!!!!!!!!! 😊 You may HAVE been (past tense) a thief, a drug addict, sexually immoral, cruel, a gambler, a smoker, a grumbler, indifferent, arrogant, unloving or sinful is some way or thought, but THIS is a NEW moment, and IF you CHOOSE to thank JESUS for dying for you on his cross to make you holy again and CHOOSE to follow him, your terrible past is COMPLETELY erased and you ARE a NEW creature IN Christ!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😊 You MUST rule over sin, because sin slowly DESTROYS you and your loved ones!!!!!!!!! 😊 So please do keep on considering yourself absolutely DEAD to sin and ALIVE to GOD IN Christ JESUS, and do NOT let any sinful habit control you or rule over you, for you are NOW a child of the KING!!!!!!! 😊 Do NOT expect to ever sin again, and confidently EXPECT GOD to ALWAYS lead you in triumphant victory!!!!!!!!! 😊 Bring EVERY thought captive to the wisdom of Christ and COMPLETELY addict yourself to prayer, the Word of GOD, the selfless, unconditional and sacrificial LOVE of JESUS Christ and follow HARD after GOD!!!!!!!!!!!! 😊
Please learn a lesson from certain drug addicts: WHY do some drug addicts have no houses? Because they've sold their houses to buy drugs. WHY do some drug addicts have no cars? Because they've sold their cars to buy drugs. WHY do some drug addicts have no wife? Because he has sold his wife to buy drugs. WHY do some drug addicts have no children? Because he has sold his children to buy drugs. WHY do some drug addicts have no possessions? Because he has spent EVERYTHING on drugs. WHY do some drug addicts have no friends? Because he has forsaken his friends to do drugs. WHY don't some drug addicts watch TV, listen to the radio or play or watch sports or games? Because they're doing drugs. WHY do some drug addicts beg? TO get MORE drugs. WHY don't some drug addicts see or consult doctors, psychiatrists or psychologists or take their advice, medication or therapy? Because they're doing drugs. WHY do some drug addicts have no job and don't go on holiday? Because they're doing drugs. WHY do some drug addicts get up VERY early in the morning? To do drugs. WHY do some drug addicts have no money? Because he has spent ALL his money on drugs. What do some drug addicts DO just after doing drugs? MORE drugs. What do some drug addicts THINK AND DREAM about ALL the time? DOING drugs. So far, I have NEVER heard of a drug addict (who's got money) saying, "I WISH I'd bought some more drugs with my money, but I thought I'd do something else with the money" have you? Some drug addicts are SO devoted to their drugs, aren't they? HOW MUCH MORE should WE, who have been redeemed by the precious blood of the Lamb, WHO FREELY gave up EVERYTHING for US, FREELY give up EVERYTHING in service to GOD and lay down our lives for OTHERS? It IS difficult, EXTREMELY difficult at times, but GOD WILL lead you THROUGH the fire and THROUGH the waters into a place of perfect peace and incredible blessings IF you CHOOSE not to give up!!!!!!! 😊 So please do ASK GOD to ADDICT you to the Holy Spirit and the Word of GOD (for if you are addicted to the Holy Spirit and the Word of GOD you're sorted for LIFE) and you'll NEVER say, "I WISH I'd prayed more" or, "I WISH I'd studied the Word more" or, "I WISH I'd done more for JESUS" because EVERYTHING you do and say would be for JESUS!!!!!!! 😊 RUN a straight race, remember Lot's wife and so do NOT look back, but keep on running, running, running; falling deeper and deeper and deeper in love with the Lord, who HAS called you out of darkness INTO his amazing light, and HAS prepared an eternal place for you WITH HIM in heaven FOREVER!!!!!!!!! 😊 He IS coming again VERY soon to take us to be with him FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!! 😊 Praise GOD!!!!!!! 😊 And then we SHALL be TOGETHER FOREVER with the Lord!!!!!!! 😊
The first coming and ministry of JESUS was accurately predicted by the Hebrew prophets hundreds of years before he came!!!!!!!!!! 😊 Micah said that he would be born in Bethlehem!!!!!! 😊 Isaiah said that he would be born of a virgin!!!!!!! 😊 Jeremiah predicted that Herod would massacre the innocents around the time of JESUS' birth!!!!!!!!! 😊 Moses said that he would be sacrificed on mount Moriah, which is just outside Jerusalem!!!!!!! 😊 Isaiah said that he would carry our sorrows and that he would be wounded for our transgressions!!!!!!! 😊 David graphically portrayed the crucifixion scene in Psalm 22, hundreds of years before the Romans had even invented crucifixion!!!!!!!!! 😊 David also predicted that he would be betrayed by a close friend!!!!!!! 😊 And King David predicted that his body would NOT decay, so he would RISE FROM THE DEAD!!!!!!! 😊 So since JESUS' entire life was so accurately prophesied in hundreds of places, we can be absolutely SURE that what the bible predicts about US and JESUS' second coming is ALSO absolutely SURE!!!!!!!! 😊 We know that as Christians, we are delivered from sin and Death by the blood of JESUS, and that we WILL surely be terribly persecuted for our faith (which JESUS calls the great tribulation) but SOON enter the promised land, flowing with all sorts of immense blessings!!!!!!! 😊 Revelation was written over 1900 years ago to the servants of JESUS Christ to SHOW them (symbolically) what was SOON to happen in their lives!!!!!!!! 😊 SO EVERYTHING in Revelation is symbolic and was current 1900 years ago!!!!!!!!! 😊 Basically, Revelation is about the battle between the saint and sin, which ends in the New Jerusalem, which is the bride of Christ (which is NOT a picture of heaven, for heaven is far, far, far beyond ANYTHING we can think or imagine)!!!!!!!!! 😊 So the river of the water of life flows through the bride of Christ (which represents the completed saint) and healing is present for ALL the nations!!!!!!!!! 😊 Praise GOD!!!!!!! 😊 So please DO keep your eyes fixed on JESUS and never stop praying as you work out your own salvation with fear and trembling!!!!!!!!! 😊 And be encouraged because Paul describes our afflictions as LIGHT and MOMENTARY: GOD WILL SOOOOOON BRING you out into a spacious land FULL of many, many, many blessings as HE has planned, and you will look back on your times of trials with IMMENSE gratitude because you WILL SEE that GOD has engineered amazing amounts of goodness for YOU through them!!!!!!!! 😊 He blesses you through the blood of his Son, JESUS Christ our Lord!!!!!!!! 😊
GOD absolutely LOVES you, my friend, so HE DESIRES to see you incredibly blessed, just as a loving father wishes to see his children blessed!!!!!!!!! 😊 So please do not ever give up, but continue to completely trust in him!!!!!!!!!!! 😊 He is returning VERY, VERY, VERY soon, to take us all home, and the skies will tear and suddenly, we shall be changed, and be caught up together to meet HIM in the air, and THEN WE SHALL be evermore together with him, and we shall be like him for we WILL see him as HE IS!!!!!!! 😊 SO ALWAYS BE PREPARED and READY!!!!!!! 😊 Amen!!!!!!!! 😊
And NOW, may our Lord JESUS Christ lift up his face upon you, shine upon you and give you, your family and ALL who receive and believe your word: incredible peace, wholeness, well-being, perfect health, energy, safety, protection, prosperity, shalom and EVERY good and perfect gift FOREVER as you ALWAYS FOLLOW him!!!!!!! 😊 And let those who choose NOT to walk in love and humility be cursed.
By the unending love, undeserved mercy and grace, and infinite power of the Lord Jesus Christ, may you ALL have an incredibly beautiful and amazingly wonderful day today (morning, noon, and night) and ever-increasingly, every day, FOREVER and EVER, in Jesus' holy name as you ALL CHOOSE to always walk in perfect love by his amazingly wonderful grace!!!!!!! 😊
With lots and lots and lots of ever so much pure brotherly love and many, many, many, many prayers,
Johann Perera!!!!!!! 😊
