The Book of Revelation is the unveiling mystery of the End Times by our Lord Jesus Christ.It's my earnest desire to present this apologetic studies on "Apocalypse"so much so that even a simple and plain laymen christian can easily understand without so much theological idioms or jargon added.I'm also presenting my reflection on End-Time (Eschatology),Bible Prophecy and the ministry of the Holy Spirit.I also will be posting much needed inspired teaching from many portion of the OT/NT scriptures for the saint to feed upon.Remember,Christ said :"Man cannot live on bread alone,but on every word of God that proceeded from the mouth of God".

I have a dream - the first time I met an angel


Look,this dreamer is coming!” (Genesis 37:19-NKJV)
“PLEASE HEAR THIS DREAM WHICH I DREAMED” – GENESIS 37:6
“As I walk’d through the wilderness of this world, I lighted on a certain place, where was a Denn; And I laid me down in that place to sleep: And as I slept I dreamed a Dream. I dreamed, and behold I saw a Man cloathed with Raggs, standing in a certain place, with his face from his own House, a Book in his hand, and a great burden upon his Back.” (John Bunyan -The Pilgrim’s progress-in the similitude of a dream-1678)
When the Holy Spirit give us a dream,its is a divine vision in the night because we normally sleep during the night.The scripture explain such divine dream as   a “night vision”because the Holy Spirit let us see something is the spirit realm while we  are sleeping.
Martin Luther King ,in his famous 1963 oratory speech at Lincoln memorial,among the many “dreams”that he uttered,he said this:I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight, and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together.”
Martin Luther King did not go to  sleep and dream that day,but rather he was preaching prophetically  and  figuratively of his faith and hope for a bright future and better tommorow.I take his word as the fulfillment of today ,that Indeed the glory of the Lord are revealed in this last days,and all flesh shall see it together.This is his hope and his Faith,but he did not dream.

When the Lord revealed to me that I walk in the ministry of a Prophet who is of the “seer”type,I was still “blurr’why I keep on receiving much revelation via “vision and dream.But then the Holy Spirit use this verse to speak a “rhema”word into the tablet of my heart :” Hear now My words;If there is a Prophet among you,I the LORD make Myself known to him in Vision,I speak to him in a dream“(Numbers 12:6-NKJV)
Throughout the Old and New Testament  scripture,we see now and then God would speak to the old patriachs and men of God through vision and dream.Dream is the “Vision of the night”where the Holy Spirit will invade our very soul/mind and speak to us in our dream.We see how God speak to Jacob (Israel)in his dream :”Then he dreamed,and behold,a ladder was set up on the earth ans its top reached to heaven;and there the angels of God were ascending and descending on it.And behold,the LORD stood above it and said” I am the LORD God of Abraham your father and the God of Isaac,the land on which you lie I will give to you and you descendants…” (Genesis 28:11-13-NKJV)
God also spoke to Daniel,the Seer Prophet in dream and vision.As the matter of fact,God chooses to reveal to Daniel about such dream and vision of the end time,even the second coming of Christ,the antichrist and the signs of the end time.Most of Daniel’s dreams are prophetic in nature.Daniel the “seer”saw the future, for God chooses to reveal to him the mysteries and knowledge of such future events.
“In the first year of Belshazzar King of Babylon,Daniel had a dream,and visions of his head while on his bed.Then he wrote down the dream,telling the main facts.Daniel spoke,saying,” I saw in my vision by night..” (Daniel 7:2-3a).
Daniel the Prophet called his dream,a NIGHT VISION, because a dream from the Lord is another dimension of a Vision from God.
JOSEPH,one of the twelve patriach is a dreamer,for God gave  him many divine dreams which is a prophetic revelation :”Now Joseph had a dream and he told it to his brothers;and they hated him even more.So he said to them :”Please hear this dream which I have dreamed:”There we were,binding sheaves in the field.Then behold my sheaf arose,and also stood all around and bowed down to my sheaf.”And his brothers said to him:”Shall you indeed reign over us?Or shall you indeed have dominion over us?”So they hated him even more for his dreams and for his dreams and for his words”(Genesis 37:6-8-NKJV).
Joseph’s dream indeed came to past in which later he became the Governor of Egypt and all his brothers did bow down to his dominion  and called him their lord (Genesis 42:6-10)
I also notice that there is another “Joseph”in the New Testament i.e.the husband of Mary whom God chose to speak to him in a dream regarding the birth and the coming forth of the  Lord Jesus Christ on earth.The significance encounter of this incident is that God never sent His angel to speak to him face to face or in an open vision.Rather the LORD chooses to send His angel and speak to Joseph in his dream four times.(See Matthew 1:20,13,19 & 22).
“But while he though bout these things,behold an angel if the Lord appeared to him in a dream,saying “Joseph,son of David,do not be afraid to take to you Mary you wife,for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit...” (Matthew 1:20)
Then Joseph,being aroused from sleep,did as the angel of the Lord commanded him and took to him his wife..” (Matthew 1:24).
Now we know that,dream come only when we are asleep.I often wondered why the Lord chooses to speak to me many time in dream.I have even seen angels when God shown them to me in dream.However ,I am not surprise as well,because Jacob,Daniel ,Joseph the patriach and Joseph the husband of Mary did see angel who came to them in their dream.My name is “Joh/JoE”the abbreviation of “Joseph”.I guess when God divinely called me as His prophet,He desire to reveal Himself to me in Vision and most significantly He spoke to me many times divine dream.I hope that I can tell all my readers about the many divine dreams that the Holy Ghost gave to me.I will share to you occasionally when the season come.Like I said ,I have seen angel coming to me in my dream.
The Lord has even permitted me to meet  the Old Testament patriach and prophet of Israel,father Abraham in a divine Vision of the night for a divine purpose.I can even tell you how father Abraham look like and his features.But I will share this in another article.This is not strange because,as an apostle of Jesus Christ,God do allow us,apostles to see great men of God in His Kingdom.Apostle Peter,John and James did see Moses and Elijah who was talking to the the Lord Jesus on the mount of transfiguration,so much so that Peter said :“And behold,Moses and Elijah appeared to them,talking with Him.Then Peter answered and said to Jesus,”Lord,it is good for us to be here;if You wish,let us make here three tabernacles:one for You,one for Moses and one for Elijah ” (Matthew 17:3-4-NKJV).
In my 30 years of ministry,I have only had a divine face to face encounter  with Jesus Christ appearing to me two times.I saw Him so clearly when God took me to heaven and there was a reason to that vision.However if the Lord may permit,I desire to  see Moses and Elijah before he take me home.BUT seeing Abraham the patriach in my dream was some thing even more significance to behold.
And so,as Peter the apostle declared on the Day of Pentecost,when the great  outpouring of the Holy Spirit occurred,he said :” But this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel: ‘And it shall come to pass in the ;last days,says God.That I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh;You sons and you daughters shall prophesy,You young men shall see visions,You old men shall dream dreams”(Acts 2:16-17 -NKJV)
At 46,I see myself under the “old men”category and would declare that the Dream from the Holy Spirit is my spiritual inheritance,for God has revealed and spoke to me more often in a dream in my 40′s.The Holy Spirit does indeed speak to us in our dream.
To sum up my Diary today,let me share to you a dream that the Holy Sprit gave to me in 2007.Praise God that I wrote it down in my 2007 Book Diary so that I can relate this dream from the Holy Ghost today.Now please hear this dream which I dreamed (Genesis 37:6) :”One nigth,while I was on my bed,the LORD gave me a dream.In this dream I saw myself walking in a strange land in a village.I found myself walking toward a house or rather the public community hall of that particular village.
When I reach there,I saw many people was sitting down and listening attentively at a man on a stage.There were two of them but only one was talking.The strange thing s about the appearance of this two men is that both of them were wearing all white garment with a glittering appearance.They both look like a normal men to me,with black hair and fair hand.The only different is that,their skin is too fair,to clean and shiny to behold.A knowledge came upon me and I just knew that both of these men are angels of God.These angels are definitely the Cherubim kind and not the Seraphim kind of  angel,because they do not have wings (Seraphim angel have wings)
While I saw myself walking toward them on the stage,I saw one angel writing and drawing something on a white board behind him.After this angel had done drawing,I heard him saying this word about me :
This man is called to bear fruit”
And when he said that,a knowing just came upon me that I will have a gift and ability to write my own books.I woke up from this dream and pondered in my heart why this angel said that I am to bear fruit.(Since 2007,I have so far written  four books and available of E-Book format)

Though I saw this angel in 2007,such dream from the Holy Ghost is still vivid and fresh to me  till today.I am still trying to contemplate such significance  night vision and why he said of me as “THE MAN CALLED TO BEAR FRUIT”.No one has ever spoken to me this word before in my life.This was exactly what the angel of the LORD said about me.BUT I believe beyond the reasonable doubt that the man was an angel because what he said was biblical,which cor-response to the very the word of our Lord Jesus Christ in the Gospel of John where He said :” ..He who abides in Me,and I in Him BEARS MUCH FRUIT,for without Me you can do nothing“(John 15:5 -NKJV).This word of Jesus to me is the final confirmation that I really saw and heard an angel of the Lord testified and spoke prophetically about my life and my ministry.
There are many prophets and apostles who claim to have seen an angel of the Lord in their life.However,in my personal encounter with an angel,it must be always past the true test of God’s word.There must be a strong biblical word to support such vision and divine dream.And such divine encounter will always draw us closer to the Lord than to the man.Angel of God will point us to the Lord Jesus.In order for me to bear much fruit like what this angel had prophetically said about my ministry,I will need to abide in Christ my Saviour,for without Him (Jesus Christ my Messiah) I can  do nothing and I cannot bear any fruit at all.
I invited you my readers,to look upon the Lord Jesus Christ and not to me,for I am just  one of such branch being use by Him.BUT Jesus is the true VINE.He said :”I am the true vine,and My Father is the vinedresser, Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away,and every branch that bears fruit He prunes,that it may bear more fruit.” (John 15:1-2-NKJV).I will share again some of my encounter with angels in my future writing.The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

THE HOLY SPIRIT & THE BIBLE


“So then faith comes by hearing,and hearing by the word of God”(Roman 10:17-NKJV)
The Holy BIBLE  therein is written by men of God who were inspired by the Holy Ghost to write the scriptures .Many of such scriptures are also God’s word of prophecy being spoken by many Prophets and Apostles of the Old Testament and the New Testament.Howbeit, all prophetic words and inspired scriptures were written and spoken under the unction and anointing of the Holy Spirit.This simply means that the Author of the Bible is the Holy Ghost and not of men.You will see that the Lord Jesus was born of the Holy Ghost (Luke 1 :35),Filled with the Holy Spirit(Luke 4:1),led by the Holy Spirit into the desert to be tempted by the Devil(Luke 4:1b-2) and anointed by the Holy Spirit to preach the Gospel of the Kingdom (Luke 4:18).Even after Christ’s resurrection ,the scripture keep on saying that :”Until the day He was taken up,after He through the HOLY SPIRIT HAD GIVEN COMMANDMENTS to the apostles whom He had chosen” (Acts 1:2 -NKJV)
And so, all the  apostles and prophets are led,inspired and moved by the Holy Ghost to prophecy and write scriptures though it may seem to be just a letter address to the saints of that day,BUT it is still relevance until today.It is God who  inspires the prophets and apostles to write many letters in the New Testament.The Holy Spirit moved upon and within their spirit and they will then write or speak by the power of the Holy Spirit.
On prophecy,Peter write :”Knowing this first,that no prophecy if scripture is of any private interpretation,for prophecy never came by the will of man,but holy men of God,spoke as they were MOVED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT“(2 Peter 1:20-12-NKJV)
On scripture,apostle Paul also write :” All Scripture,is given by INSPIRATION of God,and profitable for doctrine,for reproof,for correction,for instruction in righteousness,that the man of God may be complete,thoroughly equipped for every good work” (2 Timothy 3:16-17
Therefore,If we want to study the Scripture,we must have such a humble a clean heart before Him.Our soul and spirit must be in the  utmost reverence fear before God as we open our heart to embrace the  Holy Scripture Only then the Holy Spirit will begin to open our  mind to understanding the revelation of God’s word .The Spirit of the Lord love to teach us so that we may know the mind and purpose of God the Father.We will then need to embrace it,accept it and renew our mind to obey God’s word.God’s Holy Word is given to be obeyed and thus we shall prosper in all that we do in accordance to His Holy word (Psalm  1:2-3).The Holy Spirit is a great Teacher and we need to sit under His feet and learn to  medidate the Father’s laws/ commandments.
But his delight is in the law of the LORD,And in His law he meditates day and night..” (Psalms 1:2-NKJV).Christ’s commandments is God’s law of today.We need to teach our-self  to observe Christ’s commandments and to place His word so  close to the very cord of our heart, for this is the will of the Lord:“teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you..”(Matthew 28;20- NKJV)
A few days ago one Indonesian minister gave me  rather  a very negative comments to all my facebook postings saying that I am wrong and my teachings are not of God and to the extreme that he even uses bible verses telling everybody that all the charismatic gifts of the Holy Spirit only happened in the time of the New Testament Apostles and not for today.He then tries to go againts all my posting in the facebook group.As I prayed for him,the Lord revealed to me that he is under the influence of a  ”religious spirit “that is the spirit of error because he twisted all the scriptures and interpret such bible verses which is so erroneous.I warned him that either I have the Holy Spirit who inspired me to write or post and he is influence by the spirit of error OR that he has the Holy Spirit and that I have a spirit of error!.
I even warned how dangerous it is to simply interpret any scripture without the wisdom and knowledge of the Holy Spirit because the author of God’s infallible word in the scripture is the Holy Spirit Himself.Trying to interpret using their own “head knowledge”will result to the destruction of their own faith to Christ.There are many teaching in the epistles(Letters) of Paul the apostle that are very profound and deep.Only those who are filled with Holy Spirit,anointed and led by Him will  be able to receive such revelation and true understanding of the Scripture.
Jesus Said :“But the Helper,the Holy Spirit,whom the Father will send in My name,HE WILL TEACH YOU ALL THINGS and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you” (John 14:26-NKJV)
Jesus Further said :” However,whe He,the Spirit truth,has come,He will GUIDE YOU INTO ALL TRUTH,for He will not speak on His own authority,but whatever He hears He will speak;and He will tell you things to come…”(John 16:13-NKJV)
Indeed,the Holy Ghost come to teach God’s word,then He will guide and lead us to such biblical TRUTH.Peter the apostle wrote this word :“- as also our beloved brother Paul,according to the wisdom given to him,has written to you,as also in all his epistle,speaking in them of these things,in which are some things hard to understand,which untaught and unstable people twist to their OWN  DESTRUCTION ,as they do also the rest of the scripture.”(2 Peter 3:15a-16-NKJV)
I am so concern by many saints and  pastors who uses the scripture,even Paul’s teaching from his letters and began to simply teach without a clear understanding and interpretation.Their teaching is so twisted and instead of bringing revelation,comfort and encouragement,their faith are destroyed.I am not surprise if many are teaching a wrong doctrine today,though they use the Bible.Their teaching are just “head knowledge”and you cannot  experience the tangible anointing and the presence Holy Ghost therein.Their doctrines are dead and dry .There is no”life” to it and even bring condemnation to the very conscience of many hearts.
Each time I read the Bible,I trembled with reverence fear before the Lord,because the Holy Spirit within me ,moved upon my innermost  soul and spirit to be aware that I am reading God’s inspired word.Many time,I would be in tears while reading the bible as my emotion is just engulfed by the very presence of the Spirit as He began to teach me the Scripture.I spend hours and hours to study the scripture,looking  at every angle,every precept and every meaning and interpretation in which my mind can comprehend. You will find me using the King James Version,The New King James version,The Amplified bible version,the Greek Bible and even the Greek/Hebrew interlinear Bible as my tools to search and study the scripture.I am a passionate Bible student,believe me!
I will be reading my Bible almost the whole day and night, meditating it,praying and pleading the Lord to make me understand the mysteries and the knowledge of His word.And so,after gaining such divine interpretation from the Holy Spirit,I will then Penn it down,either in my Books,in my website,blog, Facebook and even in my audio- vedio teaching.I make sure,that the Holy Spirit inspires me to write and speak God’s word. I know that the Lord has given me a certain measure of faith to expound and teach the Holy Scripture.I will then pray that God will use my writings and teachings to speak and inspires all my readers around the world.I may not have a sound deep knowledge because I never graduated from any Theological Bible school.I write and teach because the Holy Spirit moved within me to inspire me to write such  writ from  the Bible.God’s saints today need to be taught a good sound doctrine of Christ for :”whoever transgresses and does not abide in the DOCTRINE OF CHRIST does not have God.He who abides in the doctrine of Christ has both the Father and the Son”(2 John 1:9 -NKJV)
Indeed the writer of the book of Hebrew said : “For the word of God is living and powerfull,and sharper than any two- edge sword,piercing even to the division of soul and spirit and of joints and marrow,and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart” (Hebrew 4:12)
AND so,I will say this as liken unto Paul saying  it that not only :“I think I also have the Holy Spirit of God “(1 Corinthians 7:40b-NKJV) BUT AND I BELIEVE that I have the Holy Spirit of God in me!(1 Corinthians 6:19)

WORSHIP HIM IN HIS HOLY PRESENCE

PSALM 96:9 :"O WORSHIP  the LORD in the beauty of holiness:Fear before Him, all the earth" (Psalm 96:9-KJV).
The word "WORSHIP"in the Hebrew word is "shâchâh"(Shaw-Khaw).Its being interpreted as (by Strong dictionary) A primitive root; "To depress, that is, PROSTRATE (especially reflexively in homage to royalty or God): - bow (self) down, crouch, FALL DOWN (flat), HUMBLE BESEECH, do (make) obeisance, do reverence, make to stoop, worship".
I have been worshiping and praying the LORD in many different posture.I have knelt down,sit,walk with my lifted hand before the Father to pay Him homage and pray in the holy Ghost.I even pattern my worship and prayer like unto Daniel who "..with his windows open toward Jerusalem,he knelt down on his knees THREE TIMES that day,and prayed and gave thanks before his God as was his custom"(Daniel 6:10-NKJV).

This word "Prostrate,Fall down (flat) and humbly beseech" before the LORD in my prayer and worship has impact me so deeply today.In worship,I surrender my whole entire being and pay homage in my  adoration to the Savoiur and Lord Jesus Christ.I am literally in tears before the LORD  each time I worship Him in prayer,supplication and intercession.His Holy presence engulfed me so strong while I prostrate to worship Him and it bring comfort to my soul.I love to worship the LORD!
