PERPETUAL note-taker

 

Deuteronomy 8:3

King James Version

3 And he humbled thee, 

and suffered thee to hunger, 

and fed thee with manna, 

which thou knewest not, 

neither did thy fathers know; 

that he might make thee know 

that man doth not live by bread only, 

but by every word that proceedeth 

out of the mouth of the Lord doth man live.


Perhaps, I was born with a pen in hand.

Always taking down notes.

Always writing something.

Always jotting down ideas.

Often class secretary in high school.

Often assisting my father to write down stuff.

Often supplying the word, or words, people look for.

Having a perpetual love for words.

Delighting in word play.

Knowing many books reside in my heart.

Not knowing how, or when, that would occur.

Until one day, GOD made me born again.

And everything finally made sense.

I was little scribe to the LORD.


I took down notes.

The day He led me to the Bible.

Some 636 moons ago.

Notebooks, index cards were filled with verses that called to me.

Even scraps of paper, such as back of receipts, were not spared.

You can see proof from the photo above.

I could not write fast enough, for the volume of material.

Scripture was so rich in GOD's TRUTH!

I marvel at how people can claim to have read the Bible.

At least THREE times.

The whole Bible?

Wow.


I'm still a work in progress.

SPIRIT takes me where He will, each day.

He inspires, guides, explains, gives clues.

And lets me piece it all together.

Possibly delighting in my devotion.

How can anyone not delight in the WORD of GOD?

It's PURE love, truth, mercy, glory, and wisdom from GOD!

It's the most exciting story that happened, is happening, and will still happen.

I know EXACTLY what apostle John meant when he said:

John 21:25

King James Version

25 And there are also many other things 

which Jesus did, the which, 

if they should be written every one, 

I suppose that even the world itself 

could not contain the books 

that should be written. 

Amen.


I doubt I'd be able to read the Bible, in full, THREE times.

Only because EVERY word speaks to me.

The King James Version has 783,137 words.

I linger, with EVERY word.

EVERY word speaks volumes.

EVERY word becomes another clue.

EVERY word opens an idea, for writing.

EVERY article leads to another.

EVERY blog leads to another.

Now, we have over a hundred blogs.

I may need several lifetimes to read the Bible, in full.

Of course, I'm exaggerating.

I only have this lifetime.

Hebrews 9:27

King James Version

27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, 

but after this the judgment:


Perhaps, my LORD will forgive my inability to read the Bible, from cover to cover, in one sitting.

So, I marvel at anyone who can do that.

I need SPIRIT to explain everything to me.

To find the true meaning of each word.

To remain true to GOD's WORD.

To know EXACTLY what JESUS means.

To get things right, EXACTLY as GOD commands.


Bear note that there are many Bible versions.

GOD led me to the King James Version.

The Old English style became easy for me to understand.

Strange, but true.

I haven't veered since.

Turned out, many abide by KJV.

And all I do is follow SPIRIT.

Wherever He takes me.

This is His nature, after all:

John 3:8

King James Version

8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, 

and thou hearest the sound thereof, 

but canst not tell whence it cometh, 

and whither it goeth: 

so is every one that is born of the Spirit.


Note-taking is a compulsion.

A delight.

A desire.

A discipline.

An offering, back to GOD.

A reflection of my complete attention.

Undivided.

Undistracted.

Unimpeded.

I am GOD's little child.

Forever with pen in hand.

The BIGGER picture

 

1 Corinthians 2:10

King James Version

10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: 

for the Spirit searcheth all things, 

yea, the deep things of God.


It was a very dangerous world I used to live in.

Only because I had been ignorant for a long time.

When you don't know GOD's laws, you are ignorant.

And that puts you in great danger -- subject to the ways of the world.

Once GOD makes you born again, ah, then, you become aware.

GOD gives us His SPIRIT to guide us.

Teaching us the ways of JESUS.

It's the only way we can survive in this world.

Don't expect the world to speak truth.

It doesn't have the capability to do so.

It has a different agenda.

It's wired differently.

Serving its own purpose.

JESUS spoke of it:

Luke 16:15

King James Version

15 And he said unto them, 

Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; 

but God knoweth your hearts: 

for that which is highly esteemed among men 

is abomination in the sight of God.


The apostles spoke of it:

2 Corinthians 4:4

King James Version

4 In whom the god of this world 

hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, 

lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, 

who is the image of God, should shine unto them.


James 4:4

King James Version

4 Ye adulterers and adulteresses, 

know ye not that the friendship of the world

 is enmity with God? 

whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world 

is the enemy of God.


The Bible gives us enough warning.

But how many listen?

How many care to know?

All my blogs, and posts, warn us all the time.

I have Scripture to back up my findings.

Scripture is the only book I live by.

I trust is completely.

For it is the WORD of GOD.

2 Timothy 3:16-17

King James Version

16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, 

and is profitable for doctrine, 

for reproof, 

for correction, 

for instruction in righteousness:

17 That the man of God may be perfect, 

thoroughly furnished unto all good works.


There is no other reference to live by.

Scripture contains GOD's TRUTH.

Which happen to be the teachings of JESUS.

Who only lived to obey GOD's WILL.

If there's one tough lesson, that's really it.

To know GOD's WILL, and to FOLLOW it.

Only because people would rather do their thing.

When, all along, GOD's WILL is there to guide us.

In every aspect of JESUS' life, He showed us what it was.

And how we may obey, with joy, gladness, and focus.

Obedience to GOD is the only thing to do.

The world will teach you the opposite.

To defy GOD's WILL.

And that's where problems begin.

In direct defiance of GOD's commands.

The world will keep doing what it does:

Matthew 24:37-38

King James Version

37 But as the days of Noah were, 

so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

38 For as in the days that were before the flood 

they were eating and drinking, 

marrying and giving in marriage, 

until the day that Noe entered into the ark,


Until such time GOD decides, "ENOUGH, is ENOUGH!"

And sends His Son for the Rapture.

Matthew 24:39-42

King James Version

39 And knew not until the flood came, 

and took them all away; 

so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

40 Then shall two be in the field; 

the one shall be taken, and the other left.

41 Two women shall be grinding at the mill; 

the one shall be taken, and the other left.

42 Watch therefore: for ye know not 

what hour your Lord doth come.


Every day we're alive, is a chance to get right with GOD.

Every day we're alive, is a chance to be born again.

Every day we're alive, is a chance to know GOD's laws.

Every day we're alive, is a chance to be saved.

Every day we're alive, is a chance to repent.

Each day is PURE grace.

Ephesians 2:8-9

King James Version

8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; 

and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.


But for the LOVE of the LORD, we'd all perish.

2 Peter 3:8-10

King James Version

8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, 

that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, 

and a thousand years as one day.

9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, 

as some men count slackness; 

but is longsuffering to us-ward, 

not willing that any should perish, 

but that all should come to repentance.

10 But the day of the Lord 

will come as a thief in the night; 

in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, 

and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, 

the earth also and the works that are therein 

shall be burned up.


Let us not be complacent.

Let us not be proud.

Let us not be foolish.

Let us seek GOD.

While we still can.

HUNGER for TRUTH

 

Philippians 4:8

King James Version

8 Finally, brethren, 

whatsoever things are true, 

whatsoever things are honest, 

whatsoever things are just, 

whatsoever things are pure, 

whatsoever things are lovely, 

whatsoever things are of good report; 

if there be any virtue, 

and if there be any praise, 

think on these things.


What makes SPIRIT show up?

Giving us the gift of knowledge?

Gracing us with His presence?

Teaching us JESUS' ways?

Here's what I found:

Have a HUNGER for TRUTH.

Pay ATTENTION to EVERYTHING.

Know WHO to ask.


If you're childlike, you'll pay attention to everything.

If you're jaded, you don't want to be bothered by anything.

Well, I've always been childlike.

Eager to learn.

Curious about most things.

Asking so many questions.

Bugging GOD all the time.

What was ABSOLUTE truth?

Doing TONS of research.

Reading TONS of books.

Learning from TONS of jobs.

Making TONS of mistakes.

I was such a sponge for learning.

Filing away things in my mind.

Knowing one day, the pieces will fit.

That day came when GOD made me born again in 2019.

He took everything to the highest form of learning.

Learning became focused on JESUS alone.

SPIRIT teaches me all I need to know.

Always, through Scripture.

From prayers, waiting, listening, taking notes, sharing with you.

Pretty soon, TONS of blogs were created.

Which keep growing every few days.

Night and day is devoted to GOD alone.

In His WORD, I delight in.

In His LAWS, I obey.

In His SCRIPTURE, I live.

Reminding me of King David's psalm:

Psalm 119:97-106

King James Version

97 O how love I thy law! 

it is my meditation all the day.

98 Thou through thy commandments 

hast made me wiser than mine enemies: 

for they are ever with me.

99 I have more understanding than all my teachers: 

for thy testimonies are my meditation.

100 I understand more than the ancients, 

because I keep thy precepts.

101 I have refrained my feet from every evil way, 

that I might keep thy word.

102 I have not departed from thy judgments: 

for thou hast taught me.

103 How sweet are thy words unto my taste! 

yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth!

104 Through thy precepts I get understanding: 

therefore I hate every false way.

105 Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, 

and a light unto my path.

106 I have sworn, 

and I will perform it, 

that I will keep thy righteous judgments.


GOD, Who loves us, teaches us, and warns us.

We must be ready for the Rapture.

You would not want to be in the Tribulation.

Quirky BIBLE studies

 

1 Timothy 6:19

King James Version

19 Laying up in store for themselves 

a good foundation against the time to come, 

that they may lay hold on eternal life.


There is a way to study the Bible.

Simply, easily, and happily.

Here's how I got to do it.

And surely, it was not by self.

Strangely, or because it's my personality, the SPIRIT of GOD taught me differently, the day GOD made me born again in 2019.

He taught me to study the Bible quietly, at home, with not much coaching from others, but mostly through the ministrations of the, HOLY SPIRIT each moment.

SPIRIT made things very clear, and systematic, for me.

And if it's not clear, all I do is compare the King James Version, or KJV, with other Bible versions.

Eventually, SPIRIT and I developed a cool, self-teaching tool which we called "WORD study".

SPIRIT teaches me to teach myself.

That I may also teach others.

Early on, SPIRIT taught me to take any verse, a word at a time, or a phrase at a time.

2 Timothy 2:15

King James Version

15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, 

a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, 

rightly dividing the word of truth.


I was learning quite effortlessly, so much so, SPIRIT and I ended up with 62 blogs so far.

Triggered by verses I'd hear from sermons, I found myself creating new blogs addressing certain themes, relevant to the times.

My eyes and ears were always open to the WORD of GOD.

He'd always give me clues, or prompts, and I'd be on it.


I also found, I don't get lost having so many blogs.

SPIRIT helps me organize everything, linking each blog, to the other.

Now, it's one, seamless whole.

All focusing on the WORD of GOD, as taught by SPIRIT, in honor of JESUS, for the GLORY of GOD.

Surely, GOD's way would be different for you.

And then again, my method might just work for you.

Assuming you're not born again yet, here's how it goes.

Or at least, this is how it went for me:

Accept you know nothing, and GOD will give you everything.

Acknowledge the sins you've committed.

Ask GOD for forgiveness.

Desire to become a new person.

Ask to know GOD's TRUTH.

Wait for His answer.

Being made born again by GOD is really astounding.

Others have tried; only GOD was able to make me born again.

He will then anoint you with His SPIRIT.

After which, all your lessons will begin.

Even if you've never touched a Bible before, you will be surprised at how easy it is to understand, and how easy it is to find answers about your life, work, future, and relationships.

The SPIRIT of GOD is "teacher of all things".

John 14:26

King James Version

26 But the Comforter, 

which is the Holy Ghost, 

whom the Father will send in my name, 

he shall teach you all things, 

and bring all things to your remembrance, 

whatsoever I have said unto you.


Now that you're born again, every time you have a question, pray to JESUS.

He promised to pray to the FATHER to send us the Father's SPIRIT, to guide us.

John 14:16

King James Version

16 And I will pray the Father, 

and he shall give you another Comforter, 

that he may abide with you for ever;


And every time you pray, wait for an answer.

The LORD will surely answer your questions.

I find, JESUS answers me immediately -- through key words, or phrases, which I search for online.

And they lead me to many verses.

I let SPIRIT choose the appropriate verse to use for our blogs.

My prayers are often accompanied by tears, because of the things I have in my heart.

I dearly wish to know GOD's TRUTH.

I dearly wish to know His WILL.

My only objective in prayer, is obedience.

Only GOD knows what's good for us.

I cannot pray for something that's not His will.

I leave EVERYTHING up to Him.

That's what being born again means.

You believe in JESUS.

You pray to Him.

You study the Bible.

You live by the Bible.

You share the Bible.

If you're really serious at wanting to understand the Bible, and to better self, and life, all you have to do is pray to GOD.

Be childlike with the FATHER.

JESUS encouraged us to be.

Matthew 18:3-4

King James Version

3 And said, 

Verily I say unto you, 

Except ye be converted, 

and become as little children, 

ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.

4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself 

as this little child, 

the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.


Tell Him what is in your heart.

Even as He already knows.

Matthew 6:8

King James Version

8 Be not ye therefore like unto them: 

for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, 

before ye ask him.


Approach GOD with all humility.

For we really know nothing.

Save for GOD.
