Being the Father

 

TWO

 

I was thinking how I was able to relate
to the holiness of Jesus through the gospel texts. He said: Provide neither
gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses, Nor scrip for your journey,
neither two coats, neither shoes, not yet staves: for the workman is worthy of
his meat.

 

I happen to talk about these yesterday
as of this date to one who saw me in Boracay. Actually that was already the 2^nd
time of my journey round Boracay then Antique. Boracay is a little more
than a hundred kilometers from our hometown. I did have my pocket but there was
nothing in it, and it was February 14, Valentines day! God told me go,
therefore my child and preach the gospel, and bring nothing with you but your
own self.

 

I went to my optometrist and asked her
if she could assist with the expenses for a National Convention, which is true.
She said, that is far expensive but she could share a Valentine Gift of a
hundred pesos. Then I went to my Godmother to greet her Happy Valentine without
asking for funding this time. She gave me a pen and a souvenir and two hundred
pesos. In my travel before I forgot, I have with me a KJV Gideon brown Bible
with markings in the pages.

 

In the jeepney, with which I travel
along, with the three hundred pesos in my pocket, was my childhood best friend
from STI and his office mate. I was singing gospel songs along the way for
there are only a few of us in the jeepney. At

Caticlan

Port

they boarded separately. A fellow was kind enough to assist me board the boat
by taking my hand. The boat was already full that I had no place to sit so I
stood.

 

Then the Lord said to me through my
heart, “It is time!” I need not ask Him what about for that’s how we
communicate, in simple words. I placed my Bible between my feet and said to
those boarding the boat, “Can I have the floor? Please lend me your ears.” I
could relay the Word even without looking from the Bible, so I started to
convey to those in the motorboat scripture to scripture without stating text’s
numbers. And that’s how God spoke to the people through Me.

 

My last statement was: Repent, for the
Kingdom is at hand. God wants to tell something. He wants to convey and speak
plainly of the Father for Jesus existing since the time in the mountain of the
Lord that freed the Israelites from the bondage of Egypt and was in the
wilderness being the Spirit that then dwelt in the Son (Isaiah 11:2) is the
Father. Then in the loud voice I said, “Jesus is the Father!” Then in front of
them as I avoid looking at these fellows I love and have loved since the beginning,
I grieved. “Lord,” I said, “Why has thou destined to destroy the world, for it
was beautiful. But I could not do anything for I have no hold in Thy power nor
command I can muster.”

 

Teary eyed I hid my face from them. Then
one said, “Jyo, take a sit here beside me for the current of water is strong
and you might fall.” I was thankful that there is one concerned of me, and even
know my name. I remember one time when I was asked of my name, I bursted: “I
don’t even know who I AM, how can I tell you what I do not know?” Of course,
there was only one I AM in John 8:58, and that is Jesus. I am different from
him for He is God.

 

Here I pause for a prayer.

 

My heart is tearing, and my grief is
sore. I don’t know about the nature of God but he opened my eyes as He openeth
their understanding that they might understand the scriptures (Luke 24:45).

 

I cannot continue, pardon me for My
Heart is breaking. That is how I love humanity, all of them regardless of
religions and affiliation, even those that backbite, and stabbed me in the
back. I love the students regardless of identity. I have 503 friends in my
Friendster as of press time. I share the gospel through my Blog in Friendster.

 

I’m like water. Like air. Though I have
washed already, my hands are bloody and my feet waivers. But my mind was sharp
and my heart bore the earth. I am enclosed as I am bare, and I hide nothing to
the world. But the love of my friends filled what I lack. They show me trails
and I followed them. Likewise in the present time, I will show them the way.

 

“Come and See!” Jesus said! And
beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the
scriptures the things concerning himself (Luke 24:27). He sends to them the
promise of His Father till you worship him, and return to your

Jerusalem

.

 

He is coming after me and is preferred
before me, whose shoe’s latchet I am not worthy to unloose (John 1:27). Whoever
drinketh of the water shall thirst again, but the water He gives, in him is the
well that spring from everlasting. Let us pause for silence and prayer.
