Facts:
Jesus Christ is the Son of God.
Jesus died on the cross for our sins.
God raised Jesus from the dead.
The Holy Bible is the indisputable Word of God.
Salvation is open to all.
I am convinced beyond any doubt that the above are facts, and I wish
all people to learn more about Jesus and His love for all of us.
Why am I sure that these are indisputable
facts? Jesus told me (read more
below)
Yes, Jesus has communicated with me except not with words but
with dreams. There are many reasons why I know the facts above
are actual facts, and I have attempted to briefly outline them here
with help from above:
Initial dreams that got my attention:
I would have dreams of something happening, and then a few months later,
I would see this event happen in real life. For example, in one dream I saw
the back of a mobile home at a gas station; the back door was open, and the
inside was on fire. A few months later, I actually saw this happen
in real life, exactly as in the dream. I realized that this was not
from my own mind. Only God can see the future, and He was trying to
get my attention.
Over ten years ago, the Lord's Prayer went through my mind
in perfect detail and very quickly, but it was as if it was my own
thought. At the time, it seemed that it was my own thought, and
I dismissed it as a fluke of the mind (some type of involuntary recall,
I guessed). However, this event in conjunction with many other
recent personal events, I now know that this was not my thought. One,
it went through my mind too quickly to be my own thought; my mind
doesn't work that fast. Furthermore, I had not prayed the Lord's
Prayer in years, so it was not from my own memory. At the time
this "thought" happened, I was an atheist. I now know that this
was a message from Jesus or an angel from heaven trying to get my attention.
This was the one of the first times Jesus tried to get my attention. Jesus
taught His disciples to pray the Lord's Prayer (Matthew 6:9 to 6:14). The
Lord's Prayer is in the Holy Bible. The conclusion from all of this is that
Jesus is the Son of God, and the Holy Bible is the indisputable Word of
God.
I have had many dreams that are extraordinary. The
most convincing dream that I have had is this; I was standing
outside at nighttime looking up into the evening sky, and in the evening
sky was a large orange-red circle with three symbols inside the circle.
In the dream, I didn't know what this orange red circle was,
but I knew it was the ultimate truth and answer to everything. As
I looked at it, I was filled with the overwhelming sense of peace. When
I awoke, I recalled the dream, but at the time, I didn't understand what
it was or meant. It was only recently that I was made to understand
what this dream meant. I was recently watching an evangelist on
TV explain basically this same dream that he had also. He told what
it meant. The circle and the three symbols is the Holy Trinity. Again,
this is too extraordinary be a manifestation of my mind. I didn't
even know what the dream meant, when it occurred. I now know that
this also was a direct communication from heaven. Another attempt
of Jesus to get my attention. The Holy Trinity represents the Father,
the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Again, the conclusion from this
is that the Holy Bible is the indisputable Word of God, and Jesus is
the Son of God.
I now also know from reading the Bible, that this is how
Jesus communicates with people, that is in parables. When Jesus
was on earth, He communicated to His disciples using parables (Matthew
chapters 7, 13). Presently, Jesus does not communicate with us
with audible words, but with dreams and visions and apparent own
"thoughts". I have heard of present day prophets say that they
have had similar such dreams and visions.
It has taken much time for me to put all of this together.
Like I said, it has been only recently that all of this has made
sense to me.
Other Dreams: These are not ordinary dreams, but dreams
of events that were to happen in the future. I have had dreams
of events that had not yet happened, but later actually came to pass.
Only God can see the future. Again, this was Jesus trying
to get my attention. This got my attention, but I was slower in
seeking God's Word than I should have been.
Are these the last of days before the second appearance of Jesus
on earth?
Many prophets are saying yes. I think they are correct.
One reason I say this is that in the Bible it says in the last
of days young men will have dreams and old men will have visions. Another
reason is that it is the beginning of the new millennium, which the
beginning of the end has been predicted. Another practical reason
is the prediction that earth can only sustain the growing population
for approximately another 50 years. However, only God knows when
the end of the world will actually happen. More importantly, we should
all be prepared to meet Jesus like our lives will end tomorrow because no
one knows when his or her time is up. In the Bible it is written "
I will come like a thief in the night".
Why am I making this information known?
I feel obligated to tell everyone because this is what
Jesus wants. Keeping this to myself would be un Christian. If
with this message, only one person is brought to understanding, it has
been successful. However, I hope there are many who come to know
the truth. My ultimate goal is to convince non-believers. I
was once a non-believer, and my hope is to bring other non-believers
to the truth and be saved. I know that if you would have had these
experiences that I have had, you would believe. For this
reason, we all need to work on becoming disciples of Jesus. Even
some believers may need to adjust their faith. From my personal experience
so far, it has been easier to change my mind than to walk-the-walk. I
only hope I have enough time to become a true Christian. For this
reason, you need to start now. Change your mind first (believe that
Jesus is our Lord and Savior). Then change your heart (only by the
Holy Spirit can this happen).
What do non believers need to do?
Read the Holy Bible every day willingly.
Meditate on the Word every day.
Act on the Word every day.
Be baptized in the Name of the Father, the Son and the Holy
Spirit.
Confess your sins to Jesus (don't try to hide or deny sins).
Pray every day for understanding and guidance from the Holy
Spirit.
Become involved in a local Christian Church of your choosing.
Love never fails.(1 Corinthians 13:8)
The key to being like Jesus is to care more for others than
you care for yourself. This does not mean care for your children
more that yourself, or your family more than yourself. But it means
care for all others more than yourself. This is truly unselfish love.
Jesus, the only sinless man, gave his life for all sinners (all
mankind). One cannot be more unselfish than this. We need
to have the same love that Jesus has for His people. If you have
unselfish love for your brothers in spirit (mankind), you have all.
Philippians 2:3
Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility
of mind regard one another as more important than yourselves;
Philippians 2:4
do not merely look out for your own personal interests,
but also for the interests of others.
Philippians 2:5
Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus,
Philippians 2:6
who, although He existed in the form of God, did not regard equality
with God a thing to be grasped,
Philippians 2:7
but emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and
being made in the likeness of men.
Philippians 2:8
Being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming
obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.
Philippians 2:9
For this reason also, God highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him
the name which is above every name,
Philippians 2:10
so that at the name of Jesus EVERY KNEE WILL BOW, of those who
are in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
Philippians 2:11
and that every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to
the glory of God the Father.

There are many references to "love" in the Holy Bible.
The two commandments are, "And he answered,
"YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH
ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR STRENGTH, AND
WITH ALL YOUR MIND; AND YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF." (
Luke 10:27)
Other references:
John 3:16
"For God so loved the world, that
He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not
perish, but have eternal life.
1 Corinthians 13:4
Love is patient, love
is kind and is not jealous; love
does not brag and is not arrogant,
1 Corinthians 13:8
Love never fails; but if there are gifts
of prophecy, they will be done away; if there are tongues, they
will cease; if there is knowledge, it will be done away.
1 Corinthians 13:13
But now faith, hope, love, abide these
three; but the greatest of these is love
.
