I’ve fallen, and I can’t get up!

“I’ve fallen, and I can’t get up!” And that’s how I feel like when I see the other religious group almost everywhere I go, specially now that the blessed LORD GOD has opened up this door of tract distribution for me in a regular location, daily.

This is the one good thing (among other things) that the LORD GOD has blessed us with; and that is religious freedom. And just as abundant the blessings of the LORD is, so abundant also the wiles of the wicked one. The enemy of our soul, the fallen one, aka (also known as), Apollyon (otherwise commonly known as Satan).

I have been plagued with the constant thought/idea of this other religious group (JW – and I don’t mean Johnny Walker) vigorously hoofing their way to each door, and enticing (victimizing) other unsuspecting souls to join their ranks. And I am thinking that we must be in the last days because, as the blessed SAVIOUR (JESUS) said that in the last days (or close to HIS return), many shall come in HIS (the LORD JESUS) name, Matthew 25, Luke 28, and Mark 13. I am reminded of the movie where the aliens were duplicating human through the use of giant seed pods. They almost took over the world. They took over a whole town. These alien seed pods take over the human when in their sleep!

And that is what we are doing. We are being lulled to sleep by the wicked one, first with a few seed pods, then they expand, and take over the whole neighborhood. I guess their motto is, “Go ye into all the doors, and street corners!”

I pray that the LORD of the harvest would send us a wake up call, to take back the neighborhood. Preach the gospel…

I charge thee therefore before GOD, and the LORD JESUS CHRIST, who shall judge the quick and the dead at HIS appearing and HIS kingdom; preach the WORD; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine… But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.” (2 Timothy 4:2, 5).

Alright, kid!??

The picture above is the text I sent to my friend checking to see if he’s okay. It was Sunday, and I was at the early morning JIL (JESUS is LORD) church service. And I remembered my friend, Freddie. He told me that he was fired from his job as a hotel manager, and was moving his things out. So I texted him to see how he is doing. And the above text (message) was the response I got.

Earlier, me and him were planning on doing a street preaching ministry. And this was about a month ago. It kept getting postponed, until two days ago, Saturday. Why don’t I go ahead? Because he has all the equipment (microphone, loud speakers, podium, etc…). So I was waiting on him to tell me when we can start. And he keeps telling me that he has a lot of things to do that were clamoring for his attention (at work). I told him that the enemy, the evil one, Satan, has ways of making things NOT happen. And the evil one was having a hey day with my friend. So I prayed for him for the LORD’s help in his job and in this thing with the street preaching.

(The above picture is my friend talking with me while giving out gospel tracts today, Monday). Anyway, he was so overwhelmed with the problems with his job and moving his things out, that he just decided to drop everything and just go outside and do the street preaching thing. And guess what? The good LORD blessed his effort. He told me that the LORD spoke to him while in the other place where he moved to, and told him to just launch out (no questions asked). And the LORD opened doors for him right then and there. My friend (Freddie) took a what he calls “Karaoke” microphone, and went. With just a handful of gospel tracts, he started ministering to the passerbys. The LORD GOD knew he needed more tracts, and help, so the LORD GOD sent a “retired” pastor his way. And the “retired” pastor said he has plenty of tracts.

Now, he is so eager to keep going with the ministry. I guess you might say that he got a needed jump start.

2 Corinthians 5:17 – we live by faith in GOD the FATHER through HIS one and only SON, the LORD and SAVIOUR JESUS.

As my friend above used to say, “Alright, kid!?”

JYW (Just You Wait), JW (Johnny Walker)!

SOS: HELP! This is an urgent plea to the called ones by the blessed LORD and SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST. The picture above is that of the other religious group (false religious group) who are rigorously active in placing their people in several spots (i.e. all over) in my area. Almost everywhere I turn, I see two or three of them huddled together with their own literatures waiting on an unsuspecting soul to take them captive; while those of us who know the MESSIAH, the SAVIOUR, the LORD JESUS, are almost nowhere to be found (outside in the streets), except maybe for a handful. I am talking about my area. That causes me to be almost ashamed. These other religious group are putting me to shame in their sagacity promoting their beliefs.

What have I to say about this? Matthew 24! “And JESUS answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in MY name, saying I am CHRIST; and shall deceive many…. And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many…. And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come…. Then if any man shall say unto yo, Lo, here is CHRIST, or there; believe it not. For there shall arise false CHRISTs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders; in so much that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.” (Matthew 24: 4-5, 11, 23-24). I am not an professional theologian, but I am pretty sure that this event that our SAVIOUR prophesied about it already happening, right in our very eyes.

Just you wait! Well, you don’t have to. These people are taking over the neighborhood, fyi (for your information). But it’s not like we don’t have any hope. “In the beginning was the WORD, and the WORD was with GOD, and the WORD was GOD. The same was in the beginning with GOD. All things were made by HIM; and without HIM was not any thing made that was made. In HIM was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehendeth it not.” (John 1:1-5).

GOD’s truth (the light of the world) will triumph over the darkness; but wouldn’t it be great if you were a part of that great event, of that great occasion. “Occupy till I come.” (Luke 19:13b).

The labourers are still few. And the field is white already to harvest. (Luke 10:2, John 4:35). If the LORD of the harvest moves your heart to do this ministry in my area (Jersey City, New Jersey), pray and kindly contact me – poompoomseria@hotmail.com.

Jeremiah, Joseph, and Me

I was in my car waiting on my sister while she was shopping, when I heard the car radio blurt out Dr. David Jeremiah’s voice. Then it seemed that everything stood still, and my complete attention was turned to Dr. Jeremiah’s message. What caught most of my attention as I listened intently to his message was the part where Dr. Jeremiah said that it took several years before Joseph got his promotion from being a jail keeper to a palace keeper (pharoah) as told to us in the book of Genesis 37-45.

GOD is sovereign over all, and HE does things in HIS own good and perfect time, and in HIS own good and perfect way.

Then Dr. Jeremiah told of the time when he was studying for the ministry; and most of his classmates went out soon after they graduated. Dr. Jeremiah, however, continued with his seminary studies. He stayed to finish his “training” despite the deployment of most of his peers. So, in the LORD’s own timing, Dr. Jeremiah got his ministry going! He waited on the LORD GOD’s own good and perfect timing!

This all leads to my story (Jeremiah, Joseph, and Me). I do not claim anything similar to Dr. Jeremiah, or Joseph (Genesis 39-41), except that the blessed LORD showed me tender mercies, after the many “squandered” (prodigal) years, 39 to be exact (from when the LORD called me to HIMSELF on June 1980).

The LORD GOD, sovereign over all, and knows all things, saw my pitiful state, wasting all those years for myself, and showed me infinite mercies and grace in CHRIST JESUS; and moved my sinful heart to turn around, and by HIS grace alone, am pursuing things of other worldly (heavenly) importance.

It was a sigh of relief when I set my face on serving the LORD fully, but it was also somewhat lamentable to realized that those who were your peers have gone on ahead and looked successful in their many endeavors. The good LORD GOD has blessed them and continue to bless them. At times, I feel envious to their successes in the ministry. But I keep reminding myself of what the LORD JESUS said to Peter when he looked around on the other disciple, “If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee? Follow thou me.” (John 21:22).

Yours truly is now giving out good news tracts, attending church services, praying for the different pastors and church members (the LORD JESUS’ flocks). Although there are times when I feel like I’m in a catch up mode. But despite that, the blessed LORD guides me along.

Clue(less), Clutz, Clan

It is almost mid-night and I am trying to figure out how to put this insight into structured sentences. You see, the blessed LORD has entrusted to me this ministry where three different but similar lives are involved. One of these, I am skeptically certain, is closer to Biblical truths than the other two. I am well aware of the preciousness of human lives are to the LORD GOD, that is why HE is “long-suffering” (very patient), not willing that any should perish, but that all should come unto repentance. So, as the title above, my friend (the one in the picture above) is unaware of his situation; the fact that he in a slave to his own passions (vices), in other words, he is clueless. If he does know, he little or no desire to do away with it/them (vices). As the LORD JESUS said, “Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin.” (John 8:34).

I sympathize with my friend because if it were not for the grace of GOD in CHRIST, I would have been in the same situation (which I still am – being in this imperfect body), but GOD’s grace helped me overcome (by giving me new purpose, and love for things of the LORD). Consequently, I continue to pray for the guy, that the blessed LORD GOD would change his heart to love the LORD more than those things that so easily beset him. As it is, though, my friend continues to indulge in his passions, being constantly pulled by sin, flesh, and the evil one.

And so is my other two friends. They share the same vices (drinking). Clueless, and clutzy. Him and his clan. As for me, I continue to hold on to the promise of our LORD that HE is above all, and has overcome all, “These things I have spoken unto you, that in ME ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33); and continue to pray for these guys. I have certain fear though, that if they continue (specially my friend in the top picture) in their own ways, a certain judgment might befall them (him).

Urgent Plea (To Those Who Believe)!

It’s Wednesday, and I just had to post this. You see, I am bothered by the fact that in my area, Jersey City, New Jersey, other religious organizations are ruthlessly propagating their so-called “way(s) to heaven”. And those of us who know the blessed SAVIOUR and LORD JESUS, are so short-handed, it feels like we aren’t making any difference. I may be wrong, but I know of only a handful of believers who dare brave the outside world to share the good news to the general public here in Jersey City. And the sad thing is, the other religious organization have their people in great numbers combing the area for proselytes (seeking to convert). I see not a few almost on corners with their literatures waiting for the right moment to pounce on an innocent “victim”.

This is what the SAVIOUR said, a resounding proclamation of HIMSELF, “JESUS saith unto him, I am the WAY, the TRUTH, and the LIFE: NO MAN cometh unto the FATHER, BUT BY ME.” (John 14:6).

The big building in the picture above can be rented out to hold an evangelistic crusade many times over – by GOD’s grace.

So, if you are a believer in the blessed LORD and SAVIOUR, and you live in the area, please (I plead with you) pray the LORD of the harvest to send more labourers to this harvest field! Thank you so much.

“I am indubitable!”

If you ever watch Marvel’s Avenger movies, you’ll see this snapshot of Thanos trying to use the infinity stones glove to wipe out the entire world with the flick of his fingers (Avengers: End Game). Just shortly before he snaps his fingers, he utters his famous on liner, “I am indubitable!” (Not). It’s “I am inevitable!”

The story went like this, big bad guy collected all of the infinity stones and placed them all in the gauntlet and uses the power from the infinity stones to annihilate half the world population so the universe will equate itself. Thanos succeeded, but the Avengers manage to reverse the effect.

This is sort of a picture of the Adamic fall. The big bad guy in this scenario is not one but two big bad guys, namely Death and Hell (Hades). Death and hell uttered the dreadful words, “I am inevitable!”. And those affected were not half the population of the human race, but all. Death spread to all of humanity.

But as in the movie, the Avengers were able to redeem the lost half, so in the real story of humanity, a great number of us (the predestined ones) are redeemed by the one true hero of the human story, and that is the LORD and SAVIOUR JESUS. “Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:” (Romans 5:12). “For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, JESUS CHRIST.” (Romans 5:17).

And as in the movie, Thanos got the gauntlet and was going to use it to try to annihilate the world; flicked his fingers, and nothing! Nothing happened because Tony Stark aka Iron Man managed to transfer the infinity stones to his glove! And so, he (Iron Man) used to infinity stones in his Iron Man gloves to banish Thanos and his minions to smithereens. The LORD JESUS conquered over death and hell, “and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them:” (Revelation 20:13b). “And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire.” (Revelation 20:14).

There was a price though in saving the world from Thanos’ master plan; and that was salvation costs Iron Man his life. When Iron Man used the infinity stones to banish/destroy Thanos and his henchmen, he exposed himself to so much radiation that it killed him. Our salvation from sin, from death, and from hell cost our REDEEMER his own life! “JESUS, when HE had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost. And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent; and the graves were opened;” (Matthews 27:50-52a). The LORD JESUS took upon HIMSELF our sins and exposed HIMSELF to the judgment and punishment of our sins. HE died for us! “And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without the shedding of blood is no remission.” (Hebrews 9:22). But unlike the movie, our LORD JESUS didn’t remain dead. HE was resurrected the third day. Our SAVIOUR rose triumphant over all; and HE remains alive forevermore. See Luke 24:1-9. “HE (JESUS) is not here, but is risen:” (Luke 24:6).

My Three Sons

This is a very important issue that has, I feel, affected most, if not all, of us (humanity in general). And that issue is known as “evolution” or as I call it, “devil-ution“. It is the assumption that all humans evolved from apes. Just google the word, and the picture that pops up in that of an ape walking on fours that gradually changes to a human walking erectly on two feet. Nothing is more anti-GOD than this idea of us (humans) evolving from an animal of the animalia kingdom; chordata phylum; mammalia class.

My sister was watching this program about these so-called scientists unearthing a skull and bones finding from beneath the sea/river somewhere in South America (if I am not mistaken). And they were treating it like it was sub-human. The skull looked human-like, and so I can assuredly say that it was human. Then these so-called scientists claimed that they were from hundred of thousands of years ago. I think not! Why, you say? Because it bugs the tarnation out of me when these so-called professionals claim something to be true which aren’t true. And they based their findings on the basis or assumption that is based on evolution. I believe what the Bible (the WORD of GOD) says about us, about the earth, and about the creation of the entire universe. That “in the beginning GOD created the heaven and the earth.” (Genesis 1:1). And according to the Bible, we didn’t evolved into a higher form of being (from an amoeba – lower form of life); but that GOD created us in HIS image, with soul, and spirit, and intelligence far superior than animals. And the man (Adam) was created fully formed, complete, mature, and highly intelligent (not ape-like, or even caveman-like, like the GEICO commercial).

And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.” (Genesis 1:23). “And GOD said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.” (Genesis 1:26). And that earth is not millions of years old, but merely thousands. Our earth is a young earth. And that all of creation was created by the LORD GOD almighty in six literal days. “And GOD saw everything that HE made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.” (Genesis 1:31). GOD who is all-powerful, all-wise, all-knowing, created all of the known universe by HIS mere word! “And GOD said, Let there be light: and there was light.” (Genesis 1:3).

All of humanity are descendants of Adam. We are of the same blood! Not apes. But because of Adam’s downfall, all of us were affected under him. “Wherefore, as by one man (Adam) sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for all have sinned:” (Romans 5:12). But man’s sin before and during the times of Noah was so much that GOD had to destroy man – thus the reason for the world-wide flood. “And the LORD said, My SPIRIT shall not always strive with man, for he also is flesh: yet his days shall an hundred and twenty years… And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was evil continually.” (Genesis 6:3, 5).

And here is where “My Three Sons” comes in. Noah found grace in GOD’s sight and saved him and his family from the world-wide catastrophe. There world was “reset”. And a new generation of humans arose from the family of Noah – from his sons, Ham, Shem, and Japheth. And there was only one language spoken then. (Genesis 6:8-10:32).

Que pasta with that?!??

I know. You must be wondering what the heck is this guy (yours truly aka [also known as] myself) is up to. As far as I have known myself, it’s 5 foot 7 (just joking). This one for today (this blog) is simply for a reference point for myself. People have their diaries or journals to record special or important events in their lives. Well, this is my journal (sort of). This is one of my unforgettable days. The good LORD GOD has shown me much mercies, and grace (in the LORD JESUS).

My day today started in a depressive mode. I was almost flat broke. I only had 0.## cents in my bank account. I spent the last few dollars (the digit in front of the decimal ($#.00) after the dollar sign) paying for the gas in my car. And I was almost in tears wondering where I was going to get more of the digit(s) in front of the decimal. I heard of George Mueller‘s episodes with our LORD through the late Dr. Robert Cooke‘s radio program on “Family Radio” in my smartphone. How that man of GOD has mountain-moving faith that supplied his children orphanage of their daily needs (food, etc…). But that seemed to just go from one ear to the other.

Then, I happen to look at my iPhone, and my eye zeroed in on the one email that says something to this effect: newspaper subscription paid – $49. And I started to wonder (in stupified way), how on earth could I have paid that when I don’t have any money in my bank? Call me stupid, but it never occurred to me that the blessed LORD had placed the money in there. I was still trying to figure out how that $49 was taken to pay for the subscription. This crazy idea came to my mind that the money was gotten from some “left-over” cash somewhere. So, then it hit me like a ton of bricks! It must be my disability check that I get every Friday! But that amount is more than the usual weekly check. Like, they must have compiled the check into one lump sum! I was estatic! I was praising the good LORD GOD, FATHER in heaven! A few minutes ago, I looked at my account and found out that I received $800 plus. It got deposited to my account. It wasn’t until my mind started to function again, did I realized that the LORD GOD had worked things around to have those people at the Soc. Sec. office send me the check – yesterday – instead of next month, like the letter said.

That brings me to the scriptures from Isaiah 55 – which says: “For MY thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways MY ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are MY ways higher than your ways, and MY thoughts than your thoughts.” (Isaiah 55:8-9).

By the way, that is not me in the picture. That is someone that I met while doing the tract distribution. He is homeless, and has a health condition. And he know about the scriptures. But that is for another story.

My Not-So New Apartment

It has been two months since I was told to pack my things and move out of the old apartment. And I was really worried sick as to where I am going to get another apartment. I tried going to the library (no, not to rent there) to use their computer to go online for rentals. I first went to Facebook and sent messages to the rental sections, but only one replied (and the rent was a little too steep for me). Next, I tried going to Craig’s List, and I found not a few rentals (mostly asking for room mates). And sent emails to almost all on the list. I got a few phone calls asking for some security code that they said they sent me. This was done through the text messaging route. Then after I replied asking them how much the rent was, a blank space (or text) is what I got.

So I continued to pray to the LORD for help. Then my friend (and yes, I do have friends), dysfunctional maybe, but friends nonetheless, threw me a flyer with those pull out tabs with phone numbers on them. And it was asking for and preferring same nationality male or female to rent. So, I called and the lady answered and told me where the place was, which was not too far from where I presently was. So I scheduled for a meeting. And she gave me a date. Then on that day, I called to come by, but I was a bit early. We scheduled the meeting for a look-see of the apartment at around 12noon. And it was only 10-nish (morning). I was ready to go, so I called to come by. But there was no one answering. After a while, my sister called me and asked me how I was doing on my apartment search. I told her the deal, that I was waiting. Then (to my pleasant surprise) she told me that I can stay at the apartment if I can’t find any place yet. So, (thank YOU, O LORD GOD) I was elated and relieved, thanking the good LORD. But here’s the catch. I wound up living in the garage! But the LORD GOD knew what HE was doing. Nothing takes HIM by surprise (not like me).

“All things work together for good”, the HOLY WORD of GOD says. And that is what I believe, and cling to. And as it turns out, I had the best room in the house! The whole garage is my room! And I have a sturdy closet – the vault! The washer and dryer are there right next to me. And there is a draining trough in between the washer and dryer, in case of emergency (bladder emergency). I just had to use a step stool because I’m short.

So, all is well that ends well (by the good LORD GOD’s grace). (Actual picture of my plush apartment is at top picture).
