I am the way and the truth and the life

John 14:6 Jesus answered, I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
What does it mean when Lord Jesus says that He is the way, the truth, and the life?
Way: Lord Jesus is the way to the Heavenly Father, the way to God, Lord Jesus is the way to heaven. The definite article in front of  way means the only way. In other words, there is no other way to the Heavenly Father, there is no other way to heaven, Jesus is the only way.
Truth: Lord Jesus is the embodiment of truth,  the embodiment of God’s truth,  the embodiment of of God’s Word. He is the Word of God, The Word became flesh.  The definite article before truth means that He is the only truth.
Life: Lord Jesus is the life and the source of life. He is not only the source of physical life, but also the source of spiritual life, inner life, eternal life. This spiritual life, the inner life is what we can experience now and cannot be found anywhere else. It cannot be found in Buddhism, It cannot be found in Buddhism in Islam, it can only be found in Christ.

Acts 4:12 Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.”
There is no salvation except Jesus. Only the name of Jesus under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved, we can be saved by other names. We cannot be saved by Shakyamuni, we cannot be saved by Muhammad,  we can only be saved by the name of Jesus. Only in Jesus we have life,  only in Jesus we have eternal life. Only through Jesus we can go to the Heavenly Father,  can go to God, and only through Jesus we can go to heaven.
May God bless each of  you. 🙏😊


Salvation is found in no one else

Acts 4:12 Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.
Earlier apostle Peter healed a lame man in Jesus’ name. Jesus was crucified, God raised him from the dead.  Here Peter says that “Salvation is found in no one else”, salvation is found only in Jesus’ name. There is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we can be saved. Only by the name of Jesus, we can be saved. Jesus’s name has power, Jesus’s name has authority.  In  Jesus’ name, people are healed, in Jesus’ name, demons are cast out. In Jesus’ name, people are saved.


The Faith of the Centurion

Matthew 8:5-13 5 When Jesus had entered Capernaum, a centurion came to him, asking for help. 6 “Lord,” he said, “my servant lies at home paralyzed, suffering terribly.”7 Jesus said to him, “Shall I come and heal him?” 8 The centurion replied, “Lord, I do not deserve to have you come under my roof. But just say the word, and my servant will be healed. 9 For I myself am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. I tell this one, ‘Go,’ and he goes; and that one, ‘Come,’ and he comes. I say to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.” 10 When Jesus heard this, he was amazed and said to those following him, “Truly I tell you, I have not found anyone in Israel with such great faith. 11 I say to you that many will come from the east and the west, and will take their places at the feast with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven. 12 But the subjects of the kingdom will be thrown outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.” 13 Then Jesus said to the centurion, “Go! Let it be done just as you believed it would.” And his servant was healed at that moment.

Why did Lord Jesus praise the centurion’s faith?
1. He perceiced Jesus’s authority, He believed that Jesus just said a word and his servant would be healed.
2. His humility, he felt not worthy for Lord Jesus to come to his place.
3. His love,  he was a Gentile,  yet he loved Jewish people and built their synagogue as we see in
Luke 7:5 because he loves our nation and has built our synagogue.
4. His cared for his servant,  he was a man with authority, yet he cared for his servant, wanted Lord Jesus to heal his servant.


Blessed are those who listen to me, watching daily at my doors, waiting at my doorway

Proverbs 8:34 Blessed are those who listen to me, watching daily at my doors, waiting at my doorway.

Here it says that blessed are those who obey God’s command, waiting daily before Him. Bleessed are those who read the Bible, read the word of God and put them into practise.

Everyday, the first thing we should do is reading and Bible and prayer, then commit our daily matter to the Lord, ask for His leading, for His help, you will find yourself more efficient.

God allowed coronavirus, wants us to spend more time to seek after Him, know Him,   spend more time with God and spend less time with people. God’s love wants all men to come to Him, to draw close to Him.

From the spread of coronavirus, we also see that life is transient, we should grasp the opportunity to know the Lord in our life time.


Bible on believe

James 2:19 You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that—and shudder. The demons also believe, but don’t obey God.

Hebrews 5:9 and, once made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation for all who obey him. Here him refers to Lord Jesus.

Matthew 7:21 Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.  Here me refers to Lord Jesus too. Here we see that saving faith includes obedience.

Luke 11:28 He replied, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it.”

This is my experience, it is my desire to love the Lord, to be obedient to Him, to seek Him, to pray and draw near to Him, I experience His presence. I constantly do His will . I also experience His leading, the Lord led me to pray for the sickness of people, so far there are some healings after prayer. Thanks the Lord , glory to His name.🙏😊

Prayer of repentance

During this hour of Corona virus, the Lord inspired a sister that we should pray Psalm 51 from the heart for repentance and Psalm 91 for protection.

We know the parable of pharisee and tax collector, the Lord is pleased with the prayer of the tax collector, not the prayer of the pharisee who is self righteous.

In Revelation, Lord Jesus asked the churches to repent,  ask the Christians to repent. We Christians also need repentance.

Psalm 51:17 My sacrifice, O God, is a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart you, God, will not despise.

Because of the Corona virus, we have to stay at home,  the Lord allows it so that we should spend more time in prayer, in seeking His face, give Him the best hours of our day for prayer and worship.

May God bless you.

Psalms 51

Have mercy on me, O God, according to your unfailing love; according to your great compassion blot out my transgressions. Wash away all my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin.For I know my transgressions, and my sin is always before me. Against you, you only, have I sinned and done what is evil in your sight; so you are right in your verdict and justified when you judge. Surely I was sinful at birth, sinful from the time my mother conceived me.Yet you desired faithfulness even in the womb; you taught me wisdom in that secret place.Cleanse me with hyssop, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow. Let me hear joy and gladness; let the bones you have crushed rejoice. Hide your face from my sins and blot out all my iniquity.10 Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.11 Do not cast me from your presence or take your Holy Spirit from me.12 Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me. 13 Then I will teach transgressors your ways, so that sinners will turn back to you.14 Deliver me from the guilt of bloodshed, O God, you who are God my Savior, and my tongue will sing of your righteousness.15 Open my lips, Lord, and my mouth will declare your praise.16 You do not delight in sacrifice, or I would bring it; you do not take pleasure in burnt offerings.17 My sacrifice, O God, is[b] a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart you, God, will not despise 18 May it please you to prosper Zion, to build up the walls of Jerusalem.19 Then you will delight in the sacrifices of the righteous, in burnt offerings offered whole; then bulls will be offered on your altar.

Psalm 91

Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.[a]I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.”Surely he will save you from the fowler’s snare and from the deadly pestilence.He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.You will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day,nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the plague that destroys at midday.A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you.You will only observe with your eyes  and see the punishment of the wicked.If you say, “The Lord is my refuge,” and you make the Most High your dwelling,10 no harm will overtake you, no disaster will come near your tent.11 For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways;12 they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.13 You will tread on the lion Read more


Mercy

Some time ago, In wechat I shared a short message “blessed are the merciful, for they should receive mercy”, not long later our pastor’s wife also shared same message about mercy in the church.

in Matthew 9:13 Lord Jesus says that I desire mercy, not sacrifice. For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners. We should learn from the Lord, be merciful to other people, be merciful to the sinners.

When Lord Jesus was crucified,  to those who crucified Him, He said Father forgive them, for they don’t know what they are doing, we see Lord’s great love and mercy.

In Matthew 5:44 Lord Jesus says that But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you. 

I shared the gospel on a wechat chat group, once there was a person who against the gospel and told me to stop sharing the gospel. I waited before the Lord, the Lord told me to pray for his salvation,  he was in need of prayer, if I prayed for him, he will be saved.  Later I continue sharing the gospel on the wechat chat group.

As we know that Apostle Paul was very much againt the christians at beginning, he persecuted the church, later he repented and mightily used by the Lord.


About prayer for healing

And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well.” (Mark 1617-:18)

Here we see that those who believe, those who have faith can lay hand on the sick and heal them.

Matthew 8:16-17 16 When evening had come, they brought to Him many who were demon-possessed. And He cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all who were sick, This was to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah: “He took up our infirmities and bore our diseases.” (Matthew 8:17)

The Lord healed all who were sick, healed those who were demon-possessed.

At sunset, the people brought to Jesus all who had various kinds of sickness, and laying his hands on each one, he healed them. (Luke 4:40)

Here again Lord Jesus healed all who were sick.

Now while he was in Jerusalem at the Passover Festival, many people saw the signs he was performing and believed in his name. (John 2:23)

Lord Jesus performed signs, unbelievers believe because they see the miracles.

Mark 8:22-25 22 They came to Bethsaida, and some people brought a blind man and begged Jesus to touch him. 23 He took the blind man by the hand and led him outside the village. When he had spit on the man’s eyes and put his hands on him, Jesus asked, “Do you see anything?” 24 He looked up and said, “I see people; they look like trees walking around.” 25 Once more Jesus put his hands on the man’s eyes. Then his eyes were opened, his sight was restored, and he saw everything clearly.

Lord Jesus prayed one time, the blind man got partial healing, Lord Jesus prayed again, the blind man got complete healing, we should continue praying until we see results.

James 5:14-16 14 Is anyone among you sick? Let them call the elders of the church to pray over them and anoint them with oil in the name of the Lord. 15 And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise them up. If they have sinned, they will be forgiven. 16 Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective

We need to confess sins to one another, pray for one another in order to get healed.

I have been praying for different people for different kinds of sickness, such as back pain, lower back pain, headache, head dizziness, foot pain, arm numbness, stomach pain, allergy, chest pain, tooth infection and pain, etc.

Sometimes the Lord heals right away, sometimes not right away, sometimes the Lord gives complete healing, sometimes He gives partial healing. Sometimes He doesn’t heal for a good reason. Sometimes, a person receives a lot of graces, the sickness is to keep him humble, and sometimes it is not the right timing for healing.

If you any sickness or pain, please send me a message using the contact form, I will pray for you and ask the Lord to heal you.


Trinity: deity of Christ

I used to watch a video; it is about a person who had a vision of heaven. He met Moses and asked Moses whether Lord Jesus is God or not, Moses told him that Lord Jesus is both God and man.

I also read a message from a sister, the message was revealed by Lord Jesus. In that message it mentioned that the name of God is Yahweh.(Yahweh is the name of God in Hebrew)

I also read another message from that sister, in the message; Lord Jesus revealed to her that trinity is biblical.

Of course only the Bible has final authority

John 14:7-9 7 If you really know me, you will know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him.” 8 Philip said, “Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us.” 9 Jesus answered: “Don’t you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?

Here we see that Lord Jesus says “Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father”, Nobody else can say this except Lord Jesus.

Here we see that Jesus is God manifests in the flesh, God in human form (Colossians 2:9 For in Him all the fullness of Deity dwells in bodily form), so He is both God and man.

Matthew 28:19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations,baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

For the order Father, Son, Holy Spirit in Matthew 28:19, Here we see that Son is greater than or equal to the Spirit, not lesser than the Spirit, that shows Jesus’s deity.

“Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them.” John 14:23

Here we see that Father, Son, and Holy Spirit live in us. If Jesus is only a man, how do we understand Jesus as man lives in us while Father and Holy Spirit as deity live in us?

John 15:5 “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.

Here we see that we can do nothing apart from Lord Jesus, i.e. we need to trust Him totally in order to bear spiritual fruit. If he is only a man, how come we need to totally trust in him?

Can we worship and sing praise to Lord Jesus?

Then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and on the sea, and all that is in them, saying: “To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be praise and honor and glory and power, for ever and ever!” 14 The four living creatures said, “Amen,” and the elders fell down and worshiped. Revelation 5:13-14The above verse shows that we can praise and worship Heavenly Father Yahweh and Lord Jesus at the same time.

Matt. 28:19, “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.”

2 Cor. 13:14, “The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with you all.”

1 Pet. 1:2, “according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, by the sanctifying work of the Spirit, that you may obey Jesus Christ and be sprinkled with His blood: May grace and peace be yours in fullest measure.”

Jude 20-21, “But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith; praying in the Holy Spirit; 21 keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting anxiously for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to eternal life.”

Besides Matt 28:19, we see other verses on Father, Son and Holy Spirit. They are 3 persons, not one person, they are 3 persons in one (John 10:30 I and the Father are one),  here we see that they are equal as I mentioned Read more


When is a person born again

Acts 2:38 38 Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

Here we see that when a person repents and be baptized, the person will receive the Holy Spirit. When a person receives the Holy Spirit, he or she is born again.  This is general case.

There is a special case when Peter preached the gospel the first time to the Gentile (Acts 10), to the Cornelius household. People received the Holy Spirit first before baptism, when the Gentile received the Holy Spirit, people realized that Gospel is not just for the Jews, but also for the Gentiles, then they baptized them.

Another special case is in Acts 19:2, Paul asked them “Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed”, they said no. They only received John’s baptism of repentance, they didn’t receive the Holy Spirit, later they were baptized in the name of Jesus to receive the Holy Spirit. This is the case of receiving the Holy Spirit after the baptism.

So in general a person receives the Holy Spirit at baptism, but there are special cases.


Importance of prayer

John 2:1-11 Jesus Changes Water Into Wine
1 On the third day a wedding took place at Cana in Galilee. Jesus’ mother was there, 2 and Jesus and his disciples had also been invited to the wedding. 3 When the wine was gone, Jesus’ mother said to him, “They have no more wine.”4 “Woman,[a] why do you involve me?” Jesus replied. “My hour has not yet come.”5 His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.”6 Nearby stood six stone water jars, the kind used by the Jews for ceremonial washing, each holding from twenty to thirty gallons.[b]7 Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the jars with water”; so they filled them to the brim. 8 Then he told them, “Now draw some out and take it to the master of the banquet.” They did so, 9 and the master of the banquet tasted the water that had been turned into wine. He did not realize where it had come from, though the servants who had drawn the water knew. Then he called the bridegroom aside 10 and said, “Everyone brings out the choice wine first and then the cheaper wine after the guests have had too much to drink; but you have saved the best till now.” 11 What Jesus did here in Cana of Galilee was the first of the signs through which he revealed his glory; and his disciples believed in him.

Here we see that Lord Jesus performed His first miracle by changing water to wine. Lord Jesus was not intended to perform the miracle, but He did it because Mary requested it. If Mary didn’t request it He won’t do  the miracle. Here we see the importance of prayer.


Mark of the beast

Revelation 13:16-18 16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

Here we see that if someone doesn’t receive the mark in his right hand or in his forehead, he cannot buy and sell. He cannot live, eat and survive.
Two years ago we went to China and found that you cannot pay by cash in many places, you can only pay by scanning bar code using Cell Phone. We know in Canada we can pay using credit card to scan. Technology is available to implant chip into human body.

Revelation 14:9-10 9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:

Here we see that if someone receive mark of the beast from the anti-Christ, worship the beast and his image, he will lose his salvation. He will receive torments of Hell.
