We all ask; "Why didn't the Creator make us perfect ?" Because he loves us, He allows us freely to select two different ways to live. One is a simple easy way, where we can make our own rules and impatiently change them at any given moment, with a very short life. Or, the Creator's very complex plan with many rules set in stone to obey, which allows us to live eternally. It is very logical that the loving being that created us has a way for us not to die in a short mortal's lifetime. Freely we may build massive weapons and genetically engineer anything, including living beings that destroy this planets delicate ecological system. It takes time for us to realize that absolute wisdom comes not from our ever-perpetuating advanced technologies but from the Creator. At some point in time as our faith increases, we may eventually surrender our ego and IQ to His wisdom, discovering that "No, we haven't become some religious mechanical robot" and "Yes, we still have plenty of time for fun with our worldly projects and toys". More than any mortal, as He made us, He definitely knows what we will enjoy and appreciate the most in life forever.
I paid solemn attention to the words of the message received on the third day of my encounter. Many times, I tried to change the wording, but was not allowed. Repeating; "John, do not be afraid. I am the Creator, maker of all. I had to do this to show you who I am. You must obey my simple command, and install a shallow well quickly." The command was always the same. Notice that the Creator identifies by a title, not by a name. If everybody in the World spoke the same language, we would all use the same word for the Creator, and it would be clear that there is only one Creator. Sadly, some people spend their worldly lifetime squabbling over our ethnicity, language and differences in appearances. They journey endlessly, undecided and lost, without loving the One Creator, ALL people and their selves.
A strong, never waning, healthy Conscience is a critical component for everyday function and self-respect. A good programming start is the Ten Commandments followed by more laws such as those in Leviticus, the third book in the Old Testament and elsewhere. Slowly saying the Lords Prayer daily, see Matthew 6: 5-15 and Luke 11: 1-13, while we solemnly review our trespasses, sins or debts and forgive our trespassers, sinners or debtors will lead to many personal improvements in our future!
We should remember at all times that the best lasting remedy for anxiety is Prayer.
1. How do I feel about this encounter? I am embarrassed and more than overwhelmed with thanks that I was allowed to receive this direct help and experience the Loving power and my resulting Fear of the Lord. It sure changed my teetering on, off mostly off belief to locked ON! I wish everyone could be as fortunate as I was. If you were telling me this story before my first command, I would probably say "Well it's a nice story" out loud then think to myself that this poor guy has definitely cracked up!
2. Do I believe in eternal life? Yes, now I believe in eternal life. Am I going there someday? Yes; and If I continue studying the Bible and praying for help and improving my behavior to better live as directed in the Bible my inner peace will grow more and more. It is very rewarding to experience the miraculous results of slowly modifying one's behavior by the methods shown in the Bible such as loving one's enemies, turning the other cheek, etc. Yep, the Holy Spirit can more than change ones personality. Moreover, "yes," I have a long way to go!
3. Could I have ignored or disobeyed any Commands? No, and after receiving my first command I knew unequivocally that Christ is a living presence, is a direct connection to the Creator of All, and is available for anyone at any moment who prays with patience and faith. Yes, it is hard to believe anything until you see the results. In addition, you are going to require enormous patience to wait while you continue praying repeatedly. Only with this special help was I able to withdraw from my two addictions, and install a shallow well and pond in locations where the experts said it was impossible. After asking for help and 7 years later receiving it and more I concur that logically this is the best way for anyone to live. I currently give thanks, praying many times a day and pay full attention to messages, which I continue to receive.
4. Of course, we boys are strong and tough all by ourselves and do not want to admit that we might have a "Spirit" and that the offer of eternal life is only a ploy to get us hooked into religious stuff forever. Fortunately my loving parents took me at the age of less than one to the Minister at the Local Presbyterian Church in 1943 and I was "Baptized in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit" allowing me to receive the Holy Spirit forever, whenever I opened up. Many easily receive Baptism of water in later life. Many times, I knew special help was available, but stubbornly I would reject it! For many, the first step is to simply accept that we are allowed to live and experience all these beautiful material things surrounding us and are logically given this life and things by a Super Natural Power, a Creator.
5. Yes ! It is all in the BIBLE. Many
English Speaking North American's recommend the "NIV" Bible translation
for its modern easy to understand English and plentiful non-denominational
footnotes. Wal-Mart and many stores sell this NIV version Study Bible
inexpensively. They are available in soft or hard cover with text in normal, Large and Giant
sizes. Speaking with many friends who believe in the Creator I find that many of
our journeys started with the "Ten Commandments" and later we studied onward to
"The Sermon on The Mount".
The "Ten Commandments" were received by Moses in the OT (First, Old Testament)
Exodus 34 and "The Sermon on The Mount" is found in the New Testament in Mathew
5, 6 and 7. Many English Speaking North American's recommend the
"NIV" Bible translation for its modern easy to understand English and plentiful
non-denominational footnotes. Many stores sell this NIV version Bible
inexpensively, Wal Mart, etc. The bibles I currently study state the Creator,
makers name as Yahweh, or
Yahweh's name in the Dead Sea Scrolls
or Jehovah, Abba or Kyrios. The son as Yahshua, Jesus
the Christ, Iesous Christos. And the Spirit as
the Holy Ghost, the Holy Spirit or the Parakletos.
6. Recently, I received messages to study Malachi, then several weeks later Leviticus, both in the Old Testament. Conscious and sub-conscious knowledge of the many laws is critical. These many important laws are quite clear and reinforced in many different sections. Eventually with study and reflection our early thoughts, progress into knowledge.
7. Around 1994, (see second paragraph of story beginning) I prayed for a wife and a few years later added, if possible, with children. This story is currently a work in progress (starting May 2003) with detailed messages and guidance from the LORD.
