| THERE IS NO FEAR IN LOVE |
|
| by Pastor Apollo C. Quiboloy |
“We don’t have
the fear of the
Lord because
we fear Him. We
have the fear of
the Lord because
we love Him.”
The Word of God says in Luke 10:27,“Love God
with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your
strength, with all your mind and love your neighbor
as yourself.”
We maintain our independence in thinking.
If there is anything that I don’t want to have is
somebody who is controlling my thinking. No one
is controlling your thoughts and decisions as a human being. We have our own freedom of choice.
All we have to be shown is what is evil and what is good. What is
God’s Will and what is not God’s Will. Then, it’s up for us to decide and use
that independence in choosing freely what the Will of the Father is and what is
not the Will of the Father. If you
|
 |
have chosen not to do the Will of the Father, I would even respect
your choice. Although I would be parting ways with you but I will still respect
your choice because that is the choice given to us.
Love, Not Fear
There is no coercion here in the Kingdom. No one
is being subjugated to fear. No one is serving the Father out
of fear. Of course, we have the ‘fear of the Lord’ because we
love Him. We don’t have the fear of the Lord because we fear
Him. We have the fear of the Lord because we love Him.
You don’t fear me because you fear me. You fear me
because you love me, so the way you treat me is the way you
treat the Almighty Father. I love the Father. He did not force
me into the ministry. He did not subjugate me into fear to
love Him. I serve Him, I love Him, I defend Him, and I give
myself up for Him because I love Him. Why do I fear Him? I
fear to do the things that displease Him. Do I fear because of
fear? No, I don’t fear because of fear. I fear because of love.
When fear is not based on love, that fear is demonic.
It’s devilish. You have to rebuke it. When fear is based upon
fear of losing your life that’s why you have to obey, that is a
demonic fear.
The love of the Father is a kind love. The fear of the
Father is based on our love of Him. We love Him because He
fi rst loved us. (1 John 4:19) It is always love that is the basis
of our service to the Father. It is always love that is the basis
of our relationship with Him because God is Love. He didn’t
say, “God is fear.”
When you are dealing with Satan Lucifer the devil,
he will terrorize you into submission by putting demonic fear
in your heart. When I feel that, I will fi ght against it, I will
resist it. What does the bible say? “Resist the devil and he
will fl ee from you.” (James 4:7) Don’t be afraid of the devil
terrorizing you. Anyway, he’s already vanquished. I am just
saying this for all of those who are still ignorant of his tactics
and devices. All of you out there who wanted to become appointed
sons and daughters of the Father Almighty, I would
like to announce to all of you, Satan Lucifer the
devil is vanquished forever. He has no more authority.
He has no more power. He has no more
dominion. He has no more victory over us.
It is the reign of the Father through the Appointed
Son. And that reign is always based on
the Supreme Law that always dictates upon us
or that always pervades upon us and it is the
‘Law of Love.’ Love God with all your heart,
with all your mind, with all your soul, with all
your strength, with all your spirit. And Love
your neighbor as yourself. (Luke 10:27)
He didn’t say, “Fear God with all your
heart, with all your mind, with all your soul,
with all your strength, with all your spirit.” He
didn’t say that fi rst of all. He said, “Love God…
and love your neighbor as yourself.” He didn’t
say, “Fear your neighbor.” If my neighbor is instilling
fear upon me so that I would respect him and I would
love him, I will tell him, “You go to hell yourself with that
fear you are instilling in me.” You try to poke a gun on my
head and you say, “You love me or else. You follow me or
else. You respect me or else…” If you do that to me, I would
tell you, “You go to hell with your gun. I won’t respect you. I
won’t love you when that is the basis of your relationship with
me.”
People of God, our Almighty Father said that to us,
“You shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free.”
(John 8:32) We have to be free of fear. That is why I do not
respect terrorists because they use fear and terror so you will
submit yourself to them. That is the tactic of the devil against
your souls, against your spirits.
The Ministry of the Son
I have been in this ministry for more than 30 years
and even before I was appointed as a Son, the devil was already
dealing with me and I was already dealing with him. Do
you know what I used to hear whenever the devil talks to me?
I was in one of my concert crusades way back in the
1980s, I think in 1981. Before I was going to be proclaimed to
the world as the Appointed Son, I had already fi nished my fi veyear
training in the US, or the University of the Spirit. I had already
finished my one-year study in the UK, or the University
of Kitbog. I was sent into the world and the world to me before
was only a few towns here in Mindanao. That was all that I can
afford, that was my world.
I was in one of these crusades. I had a little group. I
was already sent by the Almighty Father in this little ministry
that we had in Malalag Cogon (South Cotabato). After I
preached so hard with so few mountain folks, I slept that night.
I did not hear the voice of God. I heard the voice of the devil.
What’s the voice of the devil telling me? He said, “I will kill
you.” I heard the voice of the Father in Korea in the 1970s and
He told me, “I will use you.” Then after that, the Father kept on
telling me, “I love you.”
When the devil talks to me, he always terrorizes me
and he always instills demonic fear in my heart. He said, “I will kill you.” And those were not empty threats either, because
he was really out there to kill me. And you are no match
to Satan Lucifer the devil if you have not been authorized by
the Almighty Father to do a work for Him. I thank God He
authorized me because if He didn’t authorize me, I would not
be here today, speaking before you. The devil would have
killed me a long time ago.
But when the Father sent me, He said, “I’ll send
angels before you. I’ll send angels after you,” and I’ve seen
those angels. In the vision the Father has shown me, I’ve seen
them several times. The Father said, “The angels I’ll send
before you will prepare your way. Your friends will be his
friends and your enemies will be his enemies. My name is
upon one of them and he will prepare the way for you. He
will execute judgments when it is necessary.” So ‘he’ is the
one helping me promote and propagate this work. If not for
that, I would not be here today because the devil, once upon
a time, was Lucifer. He’s an angel also and has the power to
terrorize and to kill. Satan Lucifer the devil told me that night
in Malalag Cogon, “I will kill you,” and after that, I left that
place.
The enemy came to terrorize
We had another crusade in Aklan (in the Visayas islands)
where we had a three-night conference, because I used
to have three-night crusades before. It’s not a crusade that
you know of right now, where there are hundreds of thousands
of people. Only 30 to 50 people would attend my crusades
before. We just put a small table in front of the house
and gather the neighbors, then I would preach to them.
One night, when I was in this place in Aklan, I was
really into the Word. Then after that, the gracious host gave
me some food, snacks and let me eat dinner. And then somebody
out there sent a message to me and told me that I better
leave by the next day because if I won’t leave, some people
would kill me. I said, “That sounds like the devil to me who
talked to me in Malalag Cogon just a week ago.”
I thought it was an empty threat so I proceeded on
the second night. After preaching the second night, we had
our usual fellowship. Then all of a sudden, all of the members
just picked me up, threw me into the house because there
were three or four men that were bringing jungle bolos with
them and were looking for me. The people who were with me had to throw me and one of the offi cials in our denomination
inside the house. They shut the door and all that I heard were
people running around the house chasing one another.
The men who were with me were fi ghting with the
four men who were bringing the machetes to kill me. They
were running like horses around the house. I found out later
that the four men were trying to fi nd the door to come in because
they knew I was inside. And the men that were protecting
me, that were also from that local place were chasing the
four men.
Filipinos have this sampayan (clothesline) made of
tie wire. I heard those snap because the men chasing would
hit the clothesline and you would hear the clothesline snap
literally. They were chasing each other like horses running
around the house. I found out later that the four men trying
to kill me would like to fi nd the door to come in and kill me.
We were inside with this offi cial in the denomination I was in
before. We were praying. He was praying. I was hearing him
pray. He prayed all the prayers he knew. He spoke in tongues,
he cried and then he prayed again. I was wondering. I said,
“If this is the end of me, so be it. I have my boots on, I am
working for the Almighty Father.” But I asked the Father to
take the terrorizing fear out of my heart. I told Him, “Father,
don’t let me be terrorized by these people.”
The boldness of the Son
The Father gave the boldness within me. After the
chasing around the house, the men who were protecting me
came inside and told me, “We had chased them away and
they just disappeared into the night.” But they advised me
and said, We have to ship you out of here very early tomorrow
because they might come in force and would do the
threat they would be doing.” I told them, “I would like to
stay. I would like to fi nish!” It was because I already had the
boldness to even die before those men if they really wanted
that and that was really the Will of the Father.
I will fear no evil
I was not afraid to face such threat because I knew
that the Father in heaven is more powerful than all of my enemies.
So if you’d run away, then you might be thinking that
the Father is not powerful after all because I’m running away.
I did not run away. I continued preaching. Of course, there
were lookouts to protect me, but I continued and there was
no fear in my heart. That is what I thank the Father for. From
that time on until now, I knew that the Father Almighty is in
control of everything. “He that is within us is more powerful
than he that is in the world.” (1 John 4:4) I left that place
after three days. Nothing happened. Their threat was not carried
out so I knew that the Father is in control of everything
even though I was in the midst of danger. Didn’t He say that
in Psalm 23, “Though I walk through the valley of the shadow
of death, I will fear no evil for Thou art with me…” After
that, I left and went back to Mindanao for another crusade in
Colongolo, Surralah, South Cotabato. This village was noted
for witchcraft that when the witches would like your stomach
to bloat and put nails or crabs inside your stomach, they can
do that. They can let worms come out of your eyes or your
ears and kill you in that fashion, That place was famous for that.
Then I learned later as I went to my next schedule that those four
men who attempted on my life died violently. I didn’t know how
they died or who killed them but I heard they died violently. That
was their reward for threatening me. The angels of the Father are
at work even before you’ve known this ministry and even before
the time that I was proclaimed as the Appointed Son of God.
Colongolo, which was a village in Surralah, South
Cotabato (in Mindanao) is now a municipality. People there
were gripped with fear because of witchcraft. Those who were
involved in witchcraft were held with fear in the village because whatever they say would happen. When they say they’d kill you,
they will really kill you, not with bullets, not with machetes, not
with knives, but with witchcraft.
I preached to them for three nights again. I was reminded,
“Pastor, be careful of what you say here because the witches
are around watching over you. And if you say something that
would offend them, they would start the procedure of putting
you in the hex of their witchcraft.” I said, “Oh yeah?” I know
that that’s the power of evil, that’s the power of Satan Lucifer the
devil deposited into these people. And this is the very time right
now that I would test the power of God against the power of His
enemy.
You know what I preached the first night? I preached
about witchcraft. I said, “If you people here are engaged in
witchcraft or in barang, I am here to preach unto you and let
you surrender to the power of the Father Almighty.” If there was
anything more that would offend them, it was that message. And
for one hour and thirty minutes or two hours, I preached about
barang or witchcraft by telling them, “If you don’t repent, you
will die and you will roast in hell.” They got offended big-time,
and that was what I would like to do, to provoke them and to see
if the power that is in them is greater than the power that is in me.
This is a spiritual battle against the power of the enemy to terrorize
us into submission and put fear in our hearts to let us submit
to that diabolic and devilish fear which I abhorred in my life.
The next night, we were in the same venue. It was
a small basketball court. There was a little stage. I was there
for the fi rst night, preaching. On the second night, I was reminded
again, “Pastor, all the witchcraft people have been
gravely offended by what you said. They will not let you
escape. They will proceed with their power to put a hex on
you so that the witchcraft would continue.
And this was what they were going to do: they
said they will put a black line in the middle of the basketball
court. As soon as you step on the black line, the
witchcraft will take effect. And I asked them, “Then what
will happen?” Somebody answered, “Well, most of the
time here, when they put the hex on you, your stomach
gets bloated in the morning and sometimes you just last
up to 5-8 hours and then, you die with crabs going out of
your stomach, worms and bees getting out of your ears and
mouth.” I said, “Oh yeah?” They said, “Yes!” They have
witnessed that, that’s why all of these people were very
afraid. I said, “Okay. This is now the time to test the
power of the Almighty who sent me here.”
Stepping on the black line
We didn’t have remote-controlled microphones before so we had these cord-microphones. My mic was only up to the stage, so I told them, “Find a cord that will lengthen my cord, so that I could step on the black line. I will not be preaching on the stage. I’ll be preaching in the middle of the court stepping on the black line.” Lengthen my cord. I will step on the black line!
There is a saying that says ‘there is nothing to fear but fear itself,’ isn’t it? The devil would like to put fear in your heart to terrorize you. That is always the tactic of the enemy. That is always the tactic of Satan Lucifer the devil. I abhorred in my life the feeling of being put into fear because you’ve been terrorized to submit to someone, even to the devil, because of that kind of a fear, that means God is not present, that means he’s more powerful than God. I abhorred that in my life. If there is still a God in me, I would like to challenge that kind of a spirit.
I said, “Lengthen my cord. I would like to preach in the middle of the basketball court stepping only on that black line!” I really defi ed them. I was walking on the black line. My preaching was the same, only it was worse the second night. I told them, “You witchcraft people who put this line.
What happened to the young people was intended for me. It did not affect me because the power of the Almighty was upon me. I said, “That is the last straw the devil is going to use upon you because that is the sign that he is now defeated.” And he was defeated.
In the morning, we had breakfast.
The barang people were waiting if someone had already gone sick or having stomachache or something like that.
The barang people asked my companions, “How is the Pastor? Is he having a fever or stomachache?” But the people told them, “No. The Pastor is eating breakfast right there, very happy fellowshipping with us.” Nothing happened that day because that was the day they expected the barang to take effect. They had done it before so they were expecting to do it to me in the same vein that they had done it to the other people, but nothing happened on the second day. On the third day, I preached again. I challenged them once again by telling them, “See, your deadline for your barang has expired. Nothing has happened to me. You have to repent now! You have to surrender now because the power that is within me is greater than the power that is within you!”
After I preached that night, we came back to the same house, to the same church. We’d retired and we had fellowshipped. While we were eating our late dinner on the third night, we all saw a throng of people bringing sulo (torch light) and petromax (gas lamp) with them. I thought, Where are those people going? I thought they would come and do something against us. So I had my men ready. I said, “Just get ready because there is a lot of people who are bringing torches and petromax with them and they are coming toward our direction.” So I sent some emissary to know what’s happening and why they were going to our place.
The emissary came with a big grin on his face. He said, “Pastor, most of these folks that are coming are the barang people. They will surrender to you.” The witchcraft practitioners came one by one. We welcomed them. They let us know about them and then they surrendered their witchcraft paraphernalia. They had this belt of witchcraft. They had this bottle of witchcraft with a manequin inside. They had this doll of witchcraft in which they would take some part of the body like your hair, put it inside the doll and when the barang would take effect, they would just torture you, poke the eyes of the doll and you will have swollen eyes. They will poke it on your side and your side will be swollen. They explained all of their practices to me. That night, we burned all of their paraphernalia. We all went to the river and I baptized them one by one.
Then after a few months, I was going to Cebu for another concert crusade. Before I went there, I once again heard the devil threatening me. He was not giving up. He was losing one spiritual battle after another, but he did not give up. I heard his voice again. He told me, “I will still kill you.” That is always the devil’s line, “I will kill you.” I said, “You can’t kill me because it is the Father Almighty who made you. Lucifer, I know who you are. You are an angel before. You rebelled against the Father and now you became Satan, the adversary and you hate every one of the Father’s children who are trying to serve Him and obey His will, no matter what. But my Father is in control.”
The devil terrorizes you with killing. I heard him so many times threatening to kill me. I have defi ed him many times and I’ve proven that the Father Almighty is the owner of my life. No one owns this life except the Father Almighty. No one can take credit of the life of the Appointed Son but the Father Almighty. If the Father will want me dead right now, I will drop dead here. But if the Father has a plan in my life, you can kill me and I’ll rise again! You can put barang in me and I’ll rise again. I can be in my lowest point of almost being dead but I’ll rise again because I am living in the Father’s Will.
When I was in Cebu for another concert schedule, my church companions loaned me a motorcycle. It was a Honda 145CC. I was riding the motorcycle from the City of Cebu to the location of the denominational church in Basac, Cebu. All of a sudden there was a Yamaha which came side by side with me. The man on the other motorcycle looked at me as if to say, ‘let us race.’ I was not racing but I was speeding up. So I sped up and he sped up, too. We were running side by side on the highway. He was on the right side. I was on the left side. Then there was a big hump in the highway, which was a bridge. You cannot see what’s on the other side of the bridge unless you go over the hump and that is when you see what was in front of you. We were speeding up on this hump, when all of a sudden, I saw an old man crossing the highway.
As he was crossing the street highway, he was moving very slowly because his body was half-paralyzed. I calculated at that instance that he had already gone pass the Yamaha the way we were speeding up. He was right in my direction. So the Yamaha just blew past him and he was right in my direction seconds before I will be in front of him. I will really hit him. I had to make a split-second decision at that moment. He was right in front of me while I was running on about 80-90 kph, and that’s already fast on a motorcycle. The man on the Yamaha motorcycle was lucky enough, he already ran past the Yamaha and the Yamaha just sped away. Before I hit him I said, “If I would hit him, we will both be hospitalized or dead.” So I would spare one of us. I said, “I’ll spare the man.” I made a decision for myself without making two accidents at the same time. Anyway, I will be having this accident already, so I’ll just spare him and try to maneuver it myself without including him.
I made a quick decision, turned the Honda motorcycle leftwards a little bit to miss him. I missed him alright, but I careened in the highway, sideways. I had my feet already on the ground so the soles of my shoes served as my brakes. I lost both the soles of my shoes because I was running so fast, I was running sideways already, then I slowed down right away. I had no helmet or kneepads and it was my knee, which scraped the highway, sideways for how many meters. It’s a good thing I lifted up my head and I told the Father, “Praise the Father!”
When the Honda motorcycle stopped, I was in the middle of the highway. I cannot lift up my leg. My left leg was swollen already and I saw a big gash on my knee. The stoplight transferred from the motorcycle to my left knee. It was red all over and there were specks of sands in my gash. It was so ugly to look at. I never tried to look at it. Somebody helped me and we were just a few meters away from the church building where I was going. My leg was already swollen when they brought me to the church building. I was already like in delirium because it was so painful. And as they sat me, the host there panicked. Instead of taking isopropyl alcohol, she took denatured alcohol, the one that they use in petromax. Isopropyl is a little bit less painful because it’s mild. But when you pour denatured alcohol on a gaping wound like that, it’s like letting heaven fall on you. The aide poured it upon me and I just snapped away. I didn’t know what hit me. It was double pain. When I woke up, my leg was swollen; they had to cut my pants in order to treat me. I was lying on the bed for three weeks. I cannot even lift up my legs.
The devil told me in those weeks, “I told you, I will kill you.” I said to the devil, “No. You did not kill me. I may be in an accident, but you didn’t kill me. You cannot kill me because the Father has a mission in my life. You can hurt me but you cannot kill me!” The owner of this life is the Father Almighty. The life of the Appointed Son is in the hands of the Father Almighty.
After that incident, my ministry just got bigger and larger. Until one time, I also had that schedule of going into so many crusades. Before I even heard the voice of the devil trying to kill me, he already had a plan to kill me because he did not want this ministry to flourish like it is right now. He doesn’t want this message to be received by millions of the people of God who are receiving the completion of the Father’s works of salvation right now. He does not want that. He does not want me to stand before you right now in 2010, declaring that April 13, 2005 is the Day of the Lord, which is also the day of the Father’s Completion of His Salvation Works in man.
The Day of the Lord
There is nothing to be done now because everything is completed. All you have to do is come, surrender your will unto Him and then declare that you are the sons and daughters of the Father Almighty, free of the serpent seed. He does not want that message to fl ourish. Even before the offi cial declaration of the Father’s Appointed Son upon the earth, the devil already knew beforehand, even when I was born in Tamayong. The devil knew that this body is going to be used by the Father Almighty. The devil knew that 2010 is going to come and I’ll be preaching as I am preaching to you today. He knows that and he does not like it.
But he is vanquished. He no longer has the authority, power, dominion and victory. We have the dominion, power, authority and we have the victory.
Even before this ministry was declared unto the world, and when I was just a budding evangelist in the denomination, the devil already knew that I was going to be called and I was going to be used the way I am being used today.
There was one time, when I was together with my two brothers who were also offi cials of our organization before. I was going around Mindanao for my evangelistic works. We were in Cotabato City and we were going to pass through Pigkawayan and that was the ambush area in 1972 because of the Moro National Liberation Front that just exploded that time and there was intense war between the government and the MNLF forces. Civilian buses were being ambushed along the way. And we were aware of the danger we were facing. I was travelling all over Zamboanga and the Cotobato area, which, at the time, were the most dangerous places to travel. I was there as an evangelist, as young as 22 years old.
We had a schedule to Dulawan (now called Datu Piang) in Cotabato. We were supposed to take the fi rst trip of the bus, which was at 4:00 in the morning, because we had to be on schedule at the place and I am a stickler to schedule. My brothers were not. They are older than me. So, I was up and about before 4:00 and we had to board the fi rst trip bus. I was kind of angry and mad because my two brothers were not yet ready. I had to prompt them to get fast but they were still asleep. They didn’t mind the time, so they took their own sweet time. And we had to leave two hours late, at six o’clock in the morning. I was not talking to them because I was disappointed and mad while we rode the bus.
On our way to that ambush area in Pigcalagan somewhere in Pigcawayan, which was a hilly area with winding roads on both sides, we saw the fi rst trip bus on the side of the road. A brutal ambush had just taken place. People were still moaning inside. I saw stomachs of people ripped open and what they ate that morning just came out very raw. All of them were killed. There were no rescue teams yet in the area because it was just like 10-15 minutes ago that the ambush had happened. No one was spared among the civilians that were inside. The driver and all the passengers were killed.
There was silence in our bus, the second trip bus that passed by. And then we saw soldiers soon come and do the rescue operation but there was nobody to rescue anymore. It was a retrieval mission. It was fearful to look at. That scenario would really bring fear in your heart.
We were supposed to be there but the Father spared me again. Then I looked at my two brothers. All of a sudden they transformed into angels to me. If those two brothers of mine would have gotten back at me, and said, “You owe your life to us. Credit your life to us. You owe it to us because we were late.” They didn’t say that because if they would say that, I would tell them, “No. I don’t owe my life to you. I owe it to the Father Almighty. He only used your tardiness and your laziness, because you are my brothers, and you were closest to me at the time. He only used you but I do not owe my life to you.”
We owe our lives to the Father. We don’t owe our life to any man. We owe it to the Father. It is He who gave us life. It is the Father who can take it away, no one else can. I had been in the shadow of death so many times before you see me here right now in those times that I was travelling, in those times that I was in airplanes.
There was one time, when we still didn’t have our own
jet; I was riding a propeller plane from Manila to Davao. It would
take a three and a half-hour ride from Manila to Davao on a propeller
plane. We met a storm up there, midway to Davao City. Our
plane would go up how many kilometers, being blown by the wind.
It would come down like a roller coaster, with its nose fi rst. And all
the passengers inside were scrambling like scrambled eggs. All were
throwing up. We thought that was the end of our lives. When you
are in that situation and your plane would nosedive for how many
meters faster than you think, your stomach would come up to your
throat and you would not know what to do. We thought that was the
end. Everybody was praying. The Father spared me again. Was it the
pilot that saved us? It’s not. It was the Father who saved us.
Look, if the Father would like to take your life, you may
be sleeping on your bed soundly and you would not wake up in the
morning. If the Father still has a mission in your life, you may be
walking in the valley of the shadow of death, but the Father will
spare you. Would I credit that to the doctors? No. I won’t credit that
to the doctors. The doctors are just instruments. The owner of this life
is the Lord Jesus Christ, so credit everything to Him. It is the Father
who gave me this life. It is the Father who can take it away, so the
devil cannot terrorize us.
In my ministry before April 13, 2005, we had this spiritual
battle with the forces of the enemy almost on a daily basis. Ask those
who are with me in the early years of this ministry and they will tell
you. Until now, sometimes the devil’s cards are being put on the table
and he would just terrorize us, as if he still has the power. I told him,
“You were a tiger before with fangs, but now, you are just a helpless
kitten. Satan Lucifer the devil, you’re powerless. You have nothing
against us. We have everything against you. This work is going to
continue on and on. I am here to announce to you that freedom has
fi nally come upon the spirits of men made perfect.”
When we started the work in Hong Kong, the devil terrorized
me even there. One time, he turned off my bedroom lights and
in the middle of the night, he put on the disco music that I so hated. I
had to turn the music off and put on the lights. I had my key chains,
somebody got in, took of my cardkey, put off all the lights and there
was no brownout in Hong Kong. I was alone in the pitch-black darkness
of my room. I felt the presence of Satan Lucifer the devil telling
me, “I will kill you.” I said, “No, you won’t. You have no power to
kill me because my Father, my God is more powerful than you.” He
did that twice. I slept. I said, “Go on, I’m not afraid of you.” He just
went on and until he got discouraged and left me.
After that, I heard the voice of the Father again. The Father
told me, “Son, My Son, I love you.” When the devil speaks to me,
he would tell me, “I hate you. I’ll put doubts into the hearts of my
children and they will destroy you. You are not the Appointed Son of
God! You are an impostor.”
Then I would tell the devil, “So, if I am an impostor, why
can’t you stop me? You can’t stop me because you don’t have the
power. You don’t have the authority. You don’t have the dominion
and you don’t have the victory. You can’t stop this message. It will
reverberate all throughout the world!”
I will preach the Will of the Father no matter what. I will
tell you that religion is not the basis of your salvation. Spirituality is
the basis of your salvation. You shall know the truth and the truth
shall set you free. (John 8:32)
The Basis of the Kingdom Ministry
In my two weeks at the Glory Mountain I’ve heard the
Father’s voice again telling me, “Son, My son, I love you.”
Why do we love Him? We love Him because He first
loved us. Our relationship with the Father is on the basis of love. We
fear to do what is not His Will not because we fear Him because He
would kill us, but because we love Him. We don’t want to disappoint
Him. We love Him because we don’t want to displease Him. We
love Him that’s why we love to obey His words. Our basis of communion
and relationship is love.
The Kingdom Ministry will not continue if the basis
of our relationship is only fear and fear itself. I don’t put fear
in your heart for you to respect me. I don’t put fear in your
heart to terrorize you so that you will obey me. If that is the
god that I serve, I will turn my back on that god. I serve Him
not because He terrorizes me. I serve Him because He loves
me. I serve Him, I obey Him, I respect Him, I defend Him
and I will give up my life for Him because He loves me and I
love Him.
And that is also the basis of our relationship in
this congregation. I am the Father’s manifestation. The Father
is a Spirit, and you don’t see Him. I am the Father’s
manifestation and the message that is conveyed upon you,
so that the voice of the Appointed Son is the same message
that He has conveyed upon me. “Son, you don’t serve me
because you fear me out of fear because I will throw you
to hell. You don’t serve me because of that. You serve me
because you saw me that I have laid my life on Calvary.”
“Greater love hath no man than this, that a man
will lay down his life for his friends.” (John 15:13)
The Father’s love upon us is unconditional. He
loved us when we were sinners. He loved us when we
didn’t even know Him. He loved us when we were strangers.
He loved us when we were foreigners in His commonwealth.
He loved us when we didn’t even call upon Him. He gave Himself for us. That’s why we
love Him.
We don’t love Him because He
bought our love. We don’t love Him because
of the money that He gave to us.
We don’t love Him because He bought
our love with millions. We don’t love
Him because of the presents that He
gave to us. He didn’t buy our love. He
earned our love. He died on the cross
for us. He loved us. That’s why we love
Him. That is our relationship with the
Father Almighty. God is love. That is
the basis of this ministry.
That’s why in the Kingdom
Ministry, you don’t fear here. You are
not here because you are terrorized.
You are not here because you are fearful
of a man. You still have your independence,
don’t you? If you choose to
come out, I will not hate you for that.
I will even continue to pray for you. If
you have chosen to become a devil, the
gates outside are wide open for you to
come out. But I will not hate you for
that. I will respect your choice. If I will
not respect your choice, I will terrorize
you because of your choice. Then I am
a dictator and a dictator has no place in
heaven because a dictator suffocates your
freedom of choice.
The Truth Shall Set Us Free
As long as there is freedom
of choice, feel free because the truth
will set us free. You are here in the
Kingdom because it is your choice. I
am here because it is my choice. You are here and you obey
the Appointed Son because it’s your choice. You are willing
to die because it is your choice. Nobody put fear in your
heart and terrorized you to obey. The Father did not terrorize
me to obey Him. The Father did not use a gun or a
machete on my head and say, “Obey me or else…” He did
not do that to me.
I have my freedom of choice intact even until now.
I can choose to become a devil right now and the Father will
not come down from heaven and stop me from being a devil.
He would respect my choice because that’s my choice.
So when I fi nd myself in hell with the devil, I won’t blame
anyone because that’s my choice. The Father is going to respect
our freedom of choice. I’ll still pray for you although
you’ve chosen to be a devil outside by destroying me, by
saying evil things against me. I’ll still pray for you because
that’s your choice. You have to be happy with your choice.
It’s my choice to be here. Let’s be happy. Let’s sacrifi ce for
that choice. If the choice that we made to obey the Almighty
Father calls for us to lay down our lives, we are very much willing to lay down our lives. If that choice calls for us to
sacrifi ce, we will sacrifi ce without any consternation at all
because it’s our choice. That’s why we are happy. That’s why
heaven, where the Father is, is a happy place.
I don’t like bondage. I don’t like to be a slave to anyone.
Only the Father can control me. This is the same reason
I went out of the denomination and the Father discarded the
Church Age because that’s what they do. If you do not follow
their choices, they will hate you.
If you don’t follow my choice, I won’t hate you. I’ll
pray for you that the Father will somehow enlighten you. But
I will respect your choice. I’ll not hate you for that because
at least, you made a choice. You are not here as a slave. You
are not here as a servant. All of you are going to become appointed
sons and daughters of the Father Almighty.
