Signature Of Christ #4

One of the ways to prove the Bible and to demonstrate that the whole of the Pentateuch (First 5 books of the Bible) was written by one author directed by the Almighty is through the Bible Codes.

Bible Codes? What is Bible Codes about?

These are messages or key words found by "jumping" at set intervals through the letters of the Pentateuch. For instance if one jumps at intervals of 7 or multiples of 7 (e.g. 49=7*7) through the Biblical passage concerning the Jubilee Year one frequently comes across the word "Shabat" which is connected with the Jubilee whereas in other passages the word "Shabat" appears far less frequently.

At all events the Codes provide further proof for the existence of ONE AUTHOR for the whole of the Pentateuch. Since the advent of computers and more extensive analysis it has since been shown that the Codes could not have been of human device and must therefore have come from God and prove that the Bible is the Word of God.

Dr Moshe Katz and Professor Eliyahu Ripps found the names of only 26 plants mentioned in the Torah . ALL of these plants encoded in Genesis chapters 2 and 3 wherein the Almighty plants a garden in Eden. This is the only portion of the entire Bible wherein ALL of the said plants are to be found.

1. WHEAT (in Hebrew "CHITA") is found at intervals of 8 letters.
2. THE VINE (in Hebrew "GeFeN") at an interval of 18 letters going backwards.
3. GRAPE (in Hebrew "ANaV") at an interval of 6 letters going backwards.
4. CHESNUT (cf. Genesis 30:34 in Hebrew "ARMON") at an interval of 44 letters.
5. MYRTLE (Leviticus 23:40 in Hebrew "AVoT") at an interval of 3 letters going backwards.
6. DATE PALM (in Hebrew "TaMaR") at an interval of 5 letters.
7. SHITTIM WOOD (Exodus 25:5 in Hebrew "ShiTaH") at an interval of 3 letters going backwards.
8. BRAMBLE BUSH (Judges 9:14 in Hebrew "ATaD") at an interval of 7 letters.
9. PINE TREE (Leviticus 14:4 in Hebrew "AReZ") at an interval of 5 letters going backwards.
10.PISTACIO NUTS (Genesis 43:11 in Hebrew "BoTeN") at an interval of 13 letters.
11.FIG TREE (in Hebrew "TeANaH") at an interval of 14 letters.
12.WILLOW TREE (in Hebrew "ARaVaH") at an interval of 15 letters working backwards.
13.POMEGRANITE (in Hebrew "RiMON") at an interval of 8 letters.
14.ALOES (in Hebrew "AHiLIM") at an interval of 6 letters.
15.TAMARISK GROVE (in Hebrew "ESheL") at an interval of 2 letters.
16.OAK TREE (in Hebrew "ALON") at an interval of 17 letters.
17.POLAR TREE (in Hebrew "LiVNaH") at an interval of 85 letters working backwards.
18.CASSIA (Exodus 30:24 in Hebrew "KiDaH") at an interval of 7 letters.
19.ALMOND (in Hebrew "SheKeD") at an interval of 5 letters.
20.PISTACHIA (Genesis 35:4 in Hebrew "ELaH") at an interval of 2 letters going backwards.
21.BUSH (Exodus 3:2 in Hebrew "SeNeH") at an interval of 9 letters.
22.ALMOND TREE (Genesis 30:37 in Hebrew "LUZ") at an interval of 13 letters going backwards.
23.OLIVE (in Hebrew "ZAYiT") at an interval of 3 letters.
24.CITRON (Leviticus 23:40 in Hebrew "HaDaR") at an interval of 3 letters going backwards.
25.GOPHER WOOD ([Genesis 6:14 in Hebrew "GoFeR") at an interval of 8 letters.
25.OATS (in Hebrew "SeAURaH") at an interval of 159 letters going backwards.


In the above Biblical Passage we find all plants mentioned in the Bible in encoded form of Equal Letter Sequence (ELS). Chapter 2 and 3 of Genesis set out a phenomenon. The probability of having all the plants mention in this book of creation is amazingly remote. But it is not difficult for our creator to implant names in the passage via ELS. After all It is only He who has the knowledge from of the beginning till the end. As He is not bound by time. He can travel to future and the pass to see the formation of names and to insert those names into the Bible
This above not an isolated incident but an example illustrating a general rule. Surely this must be Christ’s signature that confirms that the bible is accurately written by Him.

CSI #3C

CSI #3C
STOP DOING AND REST IN HIM. That is hard as we always want to do our part to PLEASE HIM.

In summary, it is the effort to do our part by ourselves that equates to an act of disbelieve in Him. Effectively we are saying that He can’t do it for us, so we have to jump in and take control by ourselves. It is our very own effort to do it ourselves; leading the fight to overcome our challenges is a tell-tale sign that we do not trust that He can fight our challenges. Having to do it ourselves is having no trust in Him. Having no trust in Him is the same as having no FAITH in what we want Him to do for us. And the Bible in Heb 11:6 says “And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.” Isn’t this ironic. It is because we want to PLEASE HIM, we show that we have NO FAITH IN HIM.

Photobucket

From the diagram above, I would like to stress that man will always want to do something for God. We want to show that we did it and we deserve to be rewarded by God with His blessings. It is very simple to jump into the “Do” mode but very hard to stop doing and rest in the presence of God. That is why the bible says, we need to LABOR to REST. LABOR and REST is the exact opposite of each other. But Paul chooses these two words to show that we need to put effort to enter into his rest. By default mode, our body is on LABOR mode. Heb 4:11 Let us labor therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.

I know of an elderly mother who has worked all the way up in her career and at the same time, rushes home to take care of her family. Cooking, washing dishes, laundry, buying groceries etc etc. As she gets older, it is so hard for her to rest. She is always on the move. Now retired and her children are blessed, have engaged a maid to help her in her daily work. You can easily notice that she can’t get use to the presence of the maid. Initially, she still does her cooking, washing dishes, laundry, buying groceries. It takes time to adjust to rest and get the maid to do most of the work. When things get spilled onto the floor, her natural self is to get the mop and wipe it up by herself. It is only after several reminders by her children and forcibly taking the broom or mop from her, she eventually got use to LABOR TO REST.

We are king and priest. Can you imagine, as a King you give orders but only to see yourself carry out the orders yourself? Imagine if you order that a table be removed from your office, and after ordering the table to be removed, you look around and sees no one. Then you quietly move over to the table and carry the table out of your office. Does a King do such a thing? Give out an order and execute the very same order himself?
Photobucket


This diagram is a classic pictorial diagram explaining what is exactly wrong with our bible teaching in most churches today. They focus on the body to perform the work. They beat up every church member who cannot perform, forgetting that the very reason why they are in church is because they need help to overcome the challenges they are facing today. If they are pure and holy without any sin, they practically do not need to come to church to seek help. The reason why a mechanic shop is not as attractive as a show room, is because cars in the mechanic shop needs repairing. Needs a new timing belt, a radiator to keep the heat down, or a new fix of engine oil to ensure the engine runs smoothly.

But the very reason they cannot perform to the Church or pastor’s expectation, they are deemed to be sinners and scorned at. And at times ostracized by the church they attend. Do you see a mechanic shop turning away a car that needs a repair job?

And yet, the approach adopted by many churches and pastors are the very opposite of what God’s plan is about. Not surprising that our God said in Isaiah 55:8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith and in Jehovah. Mic 4:12 But they know not the thoughts of Jehovah, neither understand they his counsel; for he hath gathered them as the sheaves to the threshing-floor.

God’s economy is always the opposite. The last first, the weak strong, the poor rich, the poor are blessed, etc etc. It is the OPPOSITE ECONOMY. See Mat 20:16 So the last shall be first, and the first last., Mar 9:35 And he sat down, and called the twelve; and he saith unto them, If any man would be first, he shall be last of all, and servant of all. Mar 10:31 But many that are first shall be last; and the last first.

Photobucket

If you look at the above diagram, you see the solution proposed by the world and many churches today is to look inwards. Starting from yourself……….your own flesh to perform. No wander it is so difficult and you can feel that the burden is heavy. That solution is not from God. Remember, Jesus told us in Mat 11:30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

Photobucket
God’s solution is from inside out. Start from the position of strength. Start from the belief that you are CLEAN and RIGHTEOUS. Thus you only need to believe. Remember this approach is easy and not burdensome. Mat 11:30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

If you believe, you will start to bear fruit. Thus the fruit is from Him, and you only need to Rest, Confess His words and Believe. (IN short RCB= Rest, Confess, Believe) Each time you confess, your spirit rises up, and heal your body. The body will have Christ’s flesh in it. If it has more Christ’s flesh, it can overcome your old flesh’s desire, thus effectively your flesh is no longer your old flesh but new flesh. This flesh is from Christ, it behold Christ’s glory the glory full of grace and truth. See in John 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. Also see in 1Pe 4:2 That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God. To do this, it is to achieve a point where you no longer live but Christ in you that live. And how to achieve this point? Simple.

Gal 2:20 I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.


We are to live by faith in the son of God who loves me and gave himself for me.

That simple. But what does it really mean?

Yes it is simple. Again I would like to remind you that in Mat 11:30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. , it says his yoke is easy and burden is light. It exactly means that. We need only to see the extension in his words found in Rom5:17, 19 and 2Cor 5:21 and many more bible verse. But let's try this three first and you will understand what I am trying to get at.


Gal 2:20 I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

What does “He loves me and gave himself for me” mean? Many of us know that He came to die for us, He took our place of sin. He was sinless but was made to have our sins. In Corinthians 5:21 For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God. If you can understand this, try replacing the words in bold in Gal2:20

Gal 2:20.... [+2Cor5:21]

Formula > Who love me and gave himself for me = [For our sake He made Him to be si who know no sin, so that in him we might become the rigtheousnes of God]

Gal 2:20 I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, [For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God....2Corinthians 5:21]



When you combine Gal2:20 and 2Corinthians 5:21, you will than see the full meaning of why he love you and gave himself up for you. You will also see the meaning of leaving by faith in the son of God. You are to believe by Faith that at the cross, you are already crucified with Christ. You no longer live, but the SPIRIT inside you live and by believing in faith that He died for you to make you righteous. If you believe this and live in this by FAITH, you will achieve the break through you have been seeking in your life. You will begin to see the miracle powers to work in your life. Your Righteousness comes from HIM. He gave it to you in Rom 5:17, 19 2Corinthians 5:21. It is for free and you don’t have to earn it. You however have to believe by faith that you are righteous. This believing by faith is the first step you must take. This is the INSIDE OUT APPROACH(Start believing from your spirit and it will bear fruit outwardly in your body. It is not the worldly approach of OUTSIDE IN.(From your body work towards your spirit). God’s approach is the opposite of Man’s approach. Man’s approach of Outside In, is to get you started in doing 5 steps or 10 steps of cleaning yourself up. That itself is to insult the blood of Christ. That is to say Heb10:10 is not God’s word. That is to say, He did not clean you ONCE AND FOR ALL. If you believe Heb10:10 is from God, you should have not any problem believing that you are CLEANSED once and for all. You remain clean forever. Your spirit is not sinful. It is a perfect gift from Christ.

CONCLUSION: You start from strength. You start by believing that you are RIGHTEOUS. Don’t let anyone tell you that you are not righteous. When you believe you are righteous, you will bear fruits of Righteousness. You will never see a plant unplug its root up, put on a pair of Reebok shoes and take up a “cangkul” to work on the ground to bear fruit. No brothers and sisters, the plant stand still. Resting in the LIGHT (CHRIRST IS THE LIGHT) of the sun and soaking up the minerals via the WATER (CHRIST IS THE LIVING WATER). And that is all a plant need to do, see the LIGHT and drinks up the LIVING WATER.

So brothers and sisters, I challenge you to rest in Him. Stand still and see the LIGHT and drink up the LIVING WATER. Stop working and stop insulting His BLOOD as a weak detergent that cannot clean your spirit.

SIGNATURE OF CHRIST #3

  1. One mind, One author--One God; Many different writers--but One Writer! Mathematically the Bible is bound by hundreds of prime number patterns. The Bible has its own built-in self-checking mechanism against someone tampering with it! Take out one letter and it damages the whole pattern! How could writers consisting of mere fishermen and tax collectors have conjured up something as remarkable as this mathematical pattern?


    In 1882, Ivan Panin, a Russian immigrant, had just graduated from Harvard. A brilliant mathematician, multi-lingual scholar (Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek), and a literary figure, he had traveled as an agnostic (a doubter/ non believer) and had lectured often on atheism. He began studying the Bible in the original languages, of which he was fluent.

    Now, both Hebrew and Greek are unique in that they do not use special symbols for their numbering system, but instead use the letters of their alphabets to represent numbers. Each letter can actually represent a number, too.

    Aware of the numerical values of the Greek and Hebrew alphabets, Panin experimented one day by replacing the letters with their corresponding numbers in the scriptures. Suddenly, his trained mind saw a mathematical pattern. The verses he had studied bore unmistakable evidence of "an elaborate mathematical pattern, far beyond random chance, or human ability to construct!"

    This study marked a turning point in his career, and from that time until his death in 1942, he devoted his entire life to the study of Bible NUMERICS. He later supplied the Nobel Research Foundation with over 43,000 sheets of his studies accompanied by his statement that this was his evidence that the Bible was the Word of God. The Foundation acknowledged, "As far as our investigation has proceeded, we find the evidence overwhelming in favor of such a statement."

    Panin found that patterns of prime numbers, such as 11, 13, 17, 23, "but especially 7," were found in great clusters. When you add up the sum of all numerical values for different words, sentences, paragraphs, passages, and whole books, you find the same pattern in each of these forms:

    The number of words in a vocabulary divides by 7.

    The number of proper names, both male and female, divides by 7.

    The number of words that begin with a vowel, or a consonant, divides by 7.

    The number of nouns is divisible by 7, as are the words that are not.

    The same for words that occur more than once in a sentence, paragraph, book, or the whole Bible are divisible by 7.

    Even the number of words beginning with each letter of the alphabet are divisible by 7.

    And on and on the list goes!

    Some examples are:

    Genesis 1:1, the very first sentence in the Bible, states, "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." In the Hebrew, that comes out exactly 7 words that have exactly 28 (4 x 7) letters, 3 nouns (God, Heaven, and Earth), 1 Hebrew verb (created). Taking the letters of the nouns and substituting their numerical equivalents and adding them up, you get 777 (111 x 7)! The verb had a numerical value of 203 (29 x 7). This process can be carried out as far as you want to go!

    Matthew 1:1-11 has 49 words (7 x 7) in the original Greek, with 28 words that begin with a vowel (4 x 7), and the remaining 21 (3 x 7) begin with a consonant, 7 end with a vowel, and 42 end with a consonant (6 x 7). The 49 words have 266 letters (38 x 7); 140 are vowels (20 x 7); 126 are consonants (18 x 7). Of these 49 words, 14 occur only once (2 x 7); 35 occur more than once (5 x 7); 42 are nouns (6 x 7) that have exactly 49 letters (7 x 7). Male names occur 56 times (8 x 7), and women's names appear 3 times (a prime number), and the letters of their names add up to 14. How far do you want to check it? It keeps coming out the same!

    Every word, chapter, and book in the Bible checks out this way. The Bible has its own built-in self-checking mechanism against someone tampering with it! Take out one letter and it damages the whole pattern! How could mere fishermen and tax collectors have conjured up something as remarkable as this mathematical pattern?

    One mind, One author--One God; Many different writers--but One Writer!

    Can you imagine the kind of Mind that would do this, and not even care if you found out?

Breaking News: YOGA Bigger Than Christ?

Recent news over YOGA coming from the Malaysian Fatwa has attracted a lot of Christian attention. The Islamic authorities have issued a ruling, known as a fatwa, instructing the country's Muslims to avoid yoga because of its Hindu roots.

What does the Christian faith has to say on this?

To most people yoga is simply a sport - a stress-busting start for the day. However Malaysia's National Fatwa Council said it goes further than that and that elements of the Indian religion are inherent in yoga. The original yoga does practice chanting and some form of worshipping which are inappropriate and they could "destroy the faith of a Muslim".

Many Christians share the same views with the Muslims. But yet, an equally amount of Christian are puzzles, some totally agree with the Muslims and some somewhat disagree. But I have yet to come across one that totally agrees that YOGA is perfectly okay for Christians. Or am I wrong? Is there anyone out there who dares to come forward to say it is okay? (Be ready to be crucified by the religious teacher………but don’t worry, I am behind you.)

A. What Does The Bible Say About Exercise?

1Timothy 4:8 Physical exercise has some value, but spiritual exercise is valuable in every way, because it promises life both for the present and for the future.(Good News Bible –GBB)

Notice that the verse does not say that exercise has no value! It says that exercise is valuable, but it term of priorities, godliness is of greater value.

Paul also mentions physical training in his teaching. 2 Timothy 2:5 ,4:7 and 1Cor 9:25-27 If physical training is not acceptable and is taboo, why mention that it has value.

There is nothing wrong with a Christian exercising. In 1Corinthians 6:19-20 clearly explains that believers must take good care of their bodies. [Don't you know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and who is given to you by God? You do not belong to yourself but to God; he bought you for a price. So use your body for God's glory…GNB]

Also we find in Eph 5:29-20 None of us ever hate our own body. Instead, we feed them, and take care of them, just as Christ does for the church; for we are members of his body. The bible also explains that we are to avoid gluttony. [Pro 23:2 If you have a big appetite, restrain yourself…GNB]

What does the Bible say about health? Be healthy! How do we achieve that goal? By engaging in moderate exercise and eating reasonably. That is the Biblical pattern of health and exercise.

B. OK You Prove That Exercise Is Okay, But Can We Do Yoga?

This is a very good question indeed. But let do a bit of divergence to magnify this paranoia of Christians that God can be boxed into a box by posing similar questions for us to answer. By doing so, we can see a pattern of boxing our Mighty God inside a small box but yet we still call our God Mighty.

Can we visit a doctor? Should we stop attending the Olympic games? Can we visit Chinese temples? Or Hindu temples?

VISIT DOCTORS? OH NO!, That is sorcery cry out many churches. That is ASKLEPIOS (or Asclepius). Known as the god of medicine and reputed ancestor of the Asklepiades, the ancient Greek doctors' guild. Asklepios was depicted as a kind, bearded man holding a serpent-entwined staff. He is almost completely absent from ancient Greek vase painting, but statues of the god are quite common.

But hold your brakes……medicine existed before Askelpois. Luke is a Physician himself. But Jesus handpicks Luke to be his disciple. He did not destroy any physicians or chased off physicians like he chased off the traders, money changers and scolded the Pharisees.

VISIT THE OLYMPIC GAMES? OH NO! HERAKLES was the leader of the Daktyloi, five ancient daimones who founded the Olympic Games in the age of Kronos. They were probably associated specifically with the race in armour, one of the oldest of Olympic events, for like the Kouretes, they were pictured as armoured youths.

VISIT CHINESE TEMPLE S / HINDU TEMPLES? OH NO, those places are full of spirits that can harm you. God has given us a Spirit that is greater than evil spirits. God gave us the light to shine the darkness away. He did not give us the light to hide it under our bed. [2Co 4:6 For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. Luk 8:16 No man, when he hath lighted a candle, covereth it with a vessel, or putteth it under a bed; but setteth it on a candlestick, that they which enter in may see the lig]


Our God is not weak. Can you imagine, when you enter a temple, God will stay outside and say to you………….Go in alone Michael, I can’t follow you. The Spirit in the temple is too strong for me. I will wait for you. This is obviously preposterous. Our God is bigger than the Temple. He is not small and without powers to protect you.

CONCLUSION: We can go on and on, but the fact is everything is given to us by God to enjoy. And everything that is given to us, is also abused by the Satan. Just because Satan abuses what is given to us by God, do we withdraw and stay away from the good things that God richly gave us to enjoy. [Ti 6:17 Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not high minded; nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy; ] IF it is a true teaching and the way forward, than we should stop worshiping or singing praises as Lucifer is the worship leader. The heathens also worship and if they have tainted the holiness of worship, shouldn’t we stop worshiping. Shouldn’t we also stop eating, as foods are also used by the heathens to offer to their false god

Photobucket

The above diagram shows how we make our God small with our twisted perspective of God. God is smaller than issues we have on our hand. Why do we have this wrong perspective? I believe Satan and his cohorts have distorted our mind to believe our God is small. Smaller than the problems that we are facing.


Let us stop this wrong perspective of ours today. Believe that our Heavenly Father is bigger than our mind can conceive. No Yoga gods, No Olympic gods, Medical gods are acceptable to Christians, but these fake gods cannot stop us from enjoying exercise, sports or to bring babe Christians to see doctors........all these are given to us by God to enjoy. (Babe Christians are Christian that are not skill full with the word Righteousness. Babe Christians are Christian that believe righteousness is achieve by self effort. Generaly Righteousness from Christ is rejected by all Babe Christians.........Heb 5:13 For every one that useth milk is unskillfull in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe. )

Photobucket

The more restriction we self imposed ourselves, the happier Satan is with us. Imagine, we set rules that are frame on the basis that Christ is smaller than Satan’s cohorts. We limit our moves like a chess game. We let Satan’s cohorts control the board. Every space is control by them. There is no chess piece that you can advance safely. Each piece that you move, gets clobber up by Satan’s cohorts. What a sad picture.
Wake up! Christ is bigger than Satan. Satan is already defeated. Don’t bring him back to play with him again. By pass him and head towards Christ bodly.

CSI Case # 3B

In this segment the CSI team will focus on (this is a continuation from CSI Case #3A)
1. Proofing that man is the confusing party not God.
2. Christ has made us clean and we need not cleanse ourselves anymore. We only need to confess His word and believe.
3. Explain in detail, why we are clean even when we don’t feel so. Which part of us that is perpetually clean

Let us begin with Heb 10:10 By which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

G2178 ἐφάπαξ ephapax ef-ap'-ax
From G1909 and G530; upon one occasion (only): - (at) once (for all).

Will God give us a detergent that can only clean us half way? Or will God finish cleaning us completely at the CROSS. (John 19:30 When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.)

I believe God’s gift to us is perfect. He won’t provide us a sub standard gift. His gift is not sub standard. He won’t cut corners or budgets to deliver you an imperfect gift. Jesus is God’s only son and He gave it away to die for us.

But this perfect gift has been turned away by us without us knowing. The devil and his cohorts have sowed so much mental block in our mind that we thought we humble our ways to help God.
Imagine when you cleanse yourself and not wanting Jesus blood to clean you up, you are effectively rejecting Christ. If you accept his blood but yet, you still believe you need to cleanse yourself, you are also rejecting Jesus blood. You are effectively saying His blood is temporal and His blood can only cleanse you for a moment.

Before we go further, maybe it would be best that we understand what did Jesus cleanse and which part of us remains clean yesterday, today and tomorrow?

Photobucket

When we accept Christ as our personal saviour, our old self dies. And He gives us a new Spirit. Our Spirit is a New Creation. Clean and remains clean forever.


2Co 5:17
“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.”

Hope you will see that the Spirit that God gave us allows us to worship him in Spirit and in truth. See in John 4:24 “God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.” We do not worship our God in Body or FLESH. Nor do our Flesh boast in the presence of our God (See 1Co 1:29 That no flesh should glory in his presence) Nothing good comes out from our flesh. (See Isa 64:6 But we are all unclean things, and all OUR righteousness are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away)

It is very easy for us to doubt that we are clean, because we live in the “sense” world. We rely on our five senses of our body to tell us that we are still the same and unclean with all the nonsense inside us. But in reality, the TRUTH is greater than how we feel. We are to rely on His word and not our feelings.


Photobucket


I re-tabulate the diagram with our Spirit in a smaller size. I don’t like this slide simply because our Spirit is never smaller than our flesh. But I made the Spirit smaller in size just to show you how our 5 senses ( smell, sight, touch, taste and hear), in our BODY feeding into our Soul, rule over our Spirit. We tend to be led by our Body rather than by our Spirit in Christ. Our belief in our “sense” world is stronger when our faith in Christ is weak. As we feed on our “sense” world, we make our Spirit self full with doubt and weak in faith. Making our Spirit smaller and ineffective. Effectively we are not feeding on His word, His promises for us. As we choose to forgo eating His word daily, we are effectively putting our Spirit on a CRASH DIET. Our Spirit shrink in size and goes weaker and weaker………so much so it has no impact on us.

Paul explained in Gal 5:17 The Spirit and your desires are enemies of each other. They are always fighting each other and keeping you from doing what you feel you should. (Contemporary English Version-CEV)

Thus it is important that you confess (eat) His words so that your Spirit is big, strong and can overcome your flesh’s desires.

Photobucket


This is a perfect slide. When we confess His Word, our Spirit becomes stronger and grows in size and power. Our Spirit filled with faith in Christ, will be powerful to overcome any challenge in your Body. ( Your Spirit has the same power like Christ’s Spirit and will help you to overcome your challenges in your Body, be it sickness, cancer, lust, bad behavior etc etc) What it takes is only for us to confess His word daily (CONFESS = EAT His Words) See Rom 8:11 But if the Spirit of him that raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he that raised Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.

Conclusion:

If you have to cleanse yourself before God can use you mightily, you are effectively insulting Christ has no power to cleanse you once and for all. He has temporal power only. His power is substandard. You are also insulting our Heavenly Father that He gave His son to us in the same category of “rejected goods.” Our Heavenly Father did not give His best to us. He gave His rejected and unpowered son to us.

In addition those who teach believers that they need to cleanse themselves or attend cleansing the temple classes, are declaring believers to be unclean when our Christ has declared us clean. See Act 10:28 And he said to them,………. Yet God showed to me NOT to call a man common or unclean

Photobucket

Do not think for one moment that you need to cleanse yourselves up. You need to work on your own righteousness. If you do so, you have a right to boast in the presence of Chirst that your flesh did it for Him, which effectively, your flesh rejected His blood doing the job for you.

SIGNATURE OF CHRIST #2

God is a Humorous God.

There are 31,103 Bible verses in the Bible. But Long life promise is found in Psalm 91:16. Why?Psalm 91:16 is unique. If you flip 91:16 around, you see 91:16. Flip it again, you get 91:16.

Psa 91:16 "With long life will I satisfy him, and show him my salvation"………KJV


H3444 ישׁוּעה yeshû‛âh yesh-oo'-aw

Feminine passive participle of H3467; something saved, that is, (abstractly) deliverance; hence aid, victory, prosperity: - deliverance, health, help (-ing), salvation, save, saving (health), welfare.

What you ask……………. Say long life for 150 years old from God, He will turn it around and give 150 years of long life to you. Same as you flip 91:16

It is amazing, there are 31,103 Bible verses in the Bible. But God chooses to leave the long life biblical verse in Psalm 91:16.

He did not only leave His promise for long life in the Bible, but He also provided numerical numbers to explain His promise for long life to us.

Amazing?

CSI Case #3A

CSI Case #3A (we are breaking this CSI Case to several parts to facilitate easy understanding of the issues involved in this case)

Selaurjin Lim Bo Hong, (IR#3) who served for more than 20 years in churches, does not believe that by just confessing long life, you will receive long life. Seluarjin believes that a believer must work to show to God that he sincerely desires to be righteous and has no hidden sin, only then can he attain long life. Basically one needs to work for God to gain long life. Work will include keeping all God's commandments / laws. One will also be required to cleanse himself regularly. It would be better if you attend Cleansing the Temple session that is held regularly every year by several churches. She also insists that the CSI team attends this meeting to cleanse the evil spirit in them so that the CSI team can be unbiased in their findings.


CSI team submits the following Biblical verses as evidence:-
1. Heb 10:10 By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

[ SANTIFIED ONCE AND FOR ALL means forever. Yesterday’s sin, Today’s sin and Tomorrow’s sin is no longer an issue as you are already SANTIFIED ONCE AND FOR ALL. Imagine Jesus’s blood as the detergent. It cleans you up so clean that no dirt can dirty you again. His detergent is the best detergent. He doesn’t use a sub quality detergent that can only wash you up “temporal” Ask yourself, has Jesus made all things easy for us. Or will he ask us to cleanse ourselves over and over again. If your answer is YES, then that would mean that Jesus dying on the cross has “temporal” power only. ]

2. Gal 3:5 He therefore that ministereth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you, doeth he it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?
[ So many books in the bookstores, so many Christian seminars and so many testimonies saying that they all moved mightily in the power of God when they did this and that or they comply with 5 or 6 or 9 Biblical steps (work). But these are not true according to Gal 3:5. Paul says that the one who ministers the Spirit, the one who is used by God is not the one who does works, but the one who simply BELIEVES by faith]

3. Gal 3:6 Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.

[How did Abraham get his RIGHTEOUSNESS. Was it acquired by works? Nope!. He got it by believing onto God]

4. Gen 15:6 And he believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him for righteousness.

[Believe is only what it takes to be RIGHTEOUS. Back then, Abraham did not have the laws and it was not the intention nor possible for our God to accord RIGHTEOUSNESS by keeping the Laws when the Laws were not given]

5. Rom 4:3 For what saith the Scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.

[Yes! Another scripture to re-confirm that God gave Abraham his RIGHTEOUSNESS because he BELIEVES in Him. Notice it is not written that ……. Abraham’s WORKS made the Lord accounted to him for his RIGHTEOUSNESS]

6. James 2:23 And the Scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God.

[ It really makes one wonder where did the authors , the lecturers or speakers get their understanding from that WORKS is required to move in God’s power?.........well hope James2:23 makes it clear to them, they are not Friends of God]

7. Rom 4:22 And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness. Rom 4:24 But for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead;

[Today, we too can be imputed with RIGHTEOUSNESS like Abraham if we believe in Him that raised Up Jesus our Lord from the dead. We need not work like Abraham to be RIGHTEOUS.]

8. Psa 106:31 And that was counted unto him for righteousness unto all generations forevermore
[Even the Psalmist can sing to the same tune that testify we are the RIGHTEOUS generation that counted unto Him]

The above Bible verses all eight of them and there are more if you diligently search the Bible, testifies that we only need to believe in Him to be Righteous. And once we are RIGHTEOUS, our prayers are powerful prayers. When we pray, our prayer will be answered by our Heavenly Father.

See James 5:16 ……The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.
God has made it so simple for us but MAN wants to complicate things so that the attention is focussed on MAN and not on God.

CONCLUSION: The CSI team would like to highlight that there are many churches, pastors and Christians encouraging work over believing. Sadly, they won’t be called God’s friend. The CSI team believes strongly that these are the group that JESUS will say “ Go away, I know you not” (See Luke 13:27,Mat 7:23)

Signature Of Christ #1

SIGNATURE OF CHRIST #1
This is pretty strange how it worked out this way. Even if you are not religious, you should read this. (I received this article from my classmate and it is really cool)

Q: What is the shortest chapter in the Bible?
A: Psalm 117

Q: What is the longest chapter in the Bible?
A: Psalm 119
Q: Which chapter is in the centre of the Bible?
A: Psalm 118

Facts: There are 594 chapters before Psalms 118. There are 594 chapters after Psalms 118.
Add these numbers up and you get 1188.
Q: What is the centre verse in the Bible?
A: Psalm 118:8

Does this verse say something significant
about God's perfect will for our lives?
The next time someone says they would like to find
God's perfect will for their lives and that they want to
be in the centre of His will, just send them to the
centre of His Word!

Psalms 118:8 (NKJV) "It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man."

Now isn't that odd how this worked out………The Bible was written over a period of 1400 to 1800 years by more than 40 different authors. The Bible is a compilation of 66 separate books, divided into two primary divisions: the Old Testament (containing 39 books) and the New Testament (containing 27 books). … imagine the probability of getting the above correctly sequence….It is just IMPOSSIBLE…… or was God in the centre of it?

Some call such accurate display or positioning of words as the SIGNATURE OF CHRIST.

CSI Case #2

CSI GOING INTO ACTION: CSI Case #2

Kingsley Liew Tai Ah,(IR#2) an expert in bird watching, reported to the police that CSI Case #1's findings were distorted. Kingsley Liew explained that people back then lived longer than 150 years old. Methuselah is a good example. He lived up to 969 years old. He is the oldest man on earth. People with such long age, naturally, look young even when they are 91 years old. However, people today normally live up to between 70 to 80 years old. See Psalm 90:10 "The days of our years are seventy; and if any by strength live eighty years yet their pride is labor and sorrow; for it soon passes, and we fly away.


Biblical Evidences Gathered By CSI Team:
1. Gen 6:3 And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be a hundred and twenty years.
2. Gen 23:1 And Sarah was a hundred and seven and twenty years old: these were the years of the life of Sarah.
3. Gen 25:7 And these are the days of the years of Abraham's life which he lived, a hundred threescore and fifteen years.(175 years)
4. Psa 90:10 The days of our years are seventy; and if any by strength live eighty years, yet their pride is labor and sorrow; for it soon passes, and we fly away.

CSI Comments :We disagree with Kingsly that the people living around Abraham and Sarah's generation has a very long life like Methuselah. ( i.e 900++ years old ) Gen 6:3 And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be a hundred and twenty years.Genesis 6:3 is God spoken words. Man’s life to exist on earth for 120 years applies after the great flood that wipes out the whole human race except for Noah and his family. God grieved by the wickedness of mankind, decides to destroy the corrupted world, but instructs Noah to build the Ark and take on board his family and representatives of the animals and birds. The story ends with Noah offering an animal sacrifice and entering into a covenant with God.

Abraham and Sarah appeared only in Chapter 11 onwards in the book of Genesis. They are mentioned in the bible after Genesis 6:3. Except for a few exceptions, people no longer live more than 120 years old as per Gen 6:3.Below is the Life Span Of Key Biblical Characters done by the CSI team starting with Adam living up to 930 years old.

*Noah and Shem should not be included in statistical data as they are born before the Great Flood.

The names tabulated in the diagram’s follows the genealogy of Jesus spelt out in Luke Chapter 3.[Luk 3:34 the son of Jacob, the son of Isaac, the son of Abraham, the son of Terah, the son of Nahor, Luk 3:35 the son of Serug, the son of Reu, the son of Peleg, the son of Eber, the son of Salah, Luk 3:36 the son of Cainan, the son of Arphaxad, the son of Shem, the son of Noah, the son of Lamech, Luk 3:37 the son of Methuselah, the son of Enoch, the son of Jared, the son of Mahalaleel, the son of Cainan; Luk 3:38 son of Enos, the son of Seth, the son of Adam, the son of God.]


From the diagrams above, it is clear that man's age has significantly gone down immediately after Gen 6:3. Each generation following the genealogy losses a big chunk of age span. Thus Kingsley theory that people still look attractive as they live up to 900++ years cannot hold water, as the diagram clearly shows, the further the bible verses are from Gen 6;3 the shorter their life span. By the time we reached Abraham’s generation, people live around 120 years old. (Abraham himself is an exception)

It is also clear that God's word took sometime to come into full fruition. This is similar to Jesus cursing the fig tree in the New Testament (Mark 11:14, 20-21).

Other Biblical evidence can be found in

1. Gen 18:11 And Abraham and Sarah were aged, going on in days. The custom as to women had ceased to be to Sarah.“Ceased to be” here means she stop performing her custom duty as a wife…….. sexually.

2.Gen 18:12 And Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After my being old, shall there be pleasure to me; my lord also being old?Notice, Sarah must feel old to reflect that she does not feel confident that she can have sex at such an old age with Abraham. If she is beautiful and young, she should not have any worry about pleasuring Abraham. She in fact finds it humorous.

3. Gen 17:17 Then Abraham fell upon his face, and laughed, and said in his heart, Shall a child be born unto him that is a hundred years old? and shall Sarah, that is ninety years old, bear?

Item 1 to 3 above points clearly to the fact that Sarah and Abraham felt they are no longer young and attractive to have sex. It was so ludicrus that both Sarah and Abraham laughed at God. And it was here that Sarah lied to God when God asked her why she laughed.............her replied was "NO GOD, I did not laugh." Can you imagine what was going through Sarah's head at that time.......... maybe she could be saying "God has finally lost its". A ninety years old lady having sex and bear a son for an old man Abraham.

POLICE REPORT #1 ( AGAINST CSI CASE #1)

Elevan reports were lodged with the POLICE COMMISSIONER in regards to CSI Case #1. The reportees’ names are amended to protect their real identities. We have a mix bag of challenges for the CSI team. Starting with old age is the norm during Abraham's time, so no big deal to be attractive at the age of 91 to challenges on CSI to reveal all their findings..........CSI must not shy away from their responsibility to reveal their findings on sexs.

(IR= Investigation Report)

  1. Kingsly Liew Tai Ah,(IR#2) an expert in bird watching, reported to the police that CSI Case #1's findings are distorted. Kingsly Liew explained that people back then, live longer than 150 years old. Methuselah is a good example. He lived up to 969 years old. He is the oldest man on earth. People with such long age, naturally, look young even when their age is at 91 years old. However today, people normally live up to 70 to 80 years old. See in Psa 90:10 The days of our years are seventy; and if any by strength live eighty years, yet their pride is labor and sorrow; for it soon passes, and we fly away

  2. Selaurjin Lim Bo Hong, (IR#3) who served for more than 20 years in churches, do not believe by just confessing long life, you will receive long life. Seluarjin believes that a believer must work to show to God that he sincerely desires to be righteous and has no hidden sin, only then can he attain long life. Basically one needs to work for God to gain long life. Work will include keeping all God's commandments / laws. One will also be required to cleanse himself regularly . Better still attend Cleansing the Temple session that is held regularly every year by several churches. She also insists that the CSI team attends this meeting to cleanse out evil spirit in them so that the CSI team can be unbias in their findings.

  3. Sunny Oh Tau Fu, (IR#4)who work as an airforce marshall, is ready to shoot at any CSI team member on sight for concluding their findings that transformation took place while both Sarah and Abraham were sinning against God. Abraham, instead of providing protection to his wife, cowardly ran away from his duty as the head of the house. He selfishly told the half truth to protect his own life. Sarah, however, have to ask Abraham to sleep with Hagar, though it is not an act of audultery as the culture at that time permits, but is an act of defying God's word. She wanted to help God to fulfill His word, implying Man is bigger than God. God needs Man's help to do His job. God is so SMALL. SMALLER than MAN.

  4. Alvin Tang Hay Pork, (IR#5) who works as a financial wizard reported that confusion rules when it comes to name calling. If Sarah means Princess and it brings out the blessing in Sarah, what good or bad has come out from the name Sarai? Sarai means bossy. Yes, please investigate what good has come out from such name as Abram calls out Sarai everyday. How can the name be so important to our daily life?

  5. Billy Lee Sing Sing, (IR#6)who sings in the main streets lament that CSI team has not looked into the evidence that Sarah cannot perform sexually to satisfy Abraham. Complains that CSI team need to boost their findings on Sarah's sexual ability to confirm or disprove transformation did take place. Encouraged CSI team not to be shy in reporting their findings on SEX, as SEX is also made by God at the garden of Eden. God did not sought after Satan to create SEX.

  6. Kenny Foo Lat Sai, (IR#7) who drives fast cars in fast lane with the latest Bond gadgets at his finger tip, wants CSI team to investigate if there is any issue for Christians to seek doctors help to keep young and healthy? Is it wrong to ask God for blessing for long life, which in evitably means victory from sickness and cancer, and at the same time, seek medical help? Isn't these two approaches for victory over health show lack of faith on one hand and on the other hand, when victory comes, God doesn't get any credit. And is it true our God is a jealous God? That He does not want to share victory with anyone?

  7. Aloysious Seow Seow Lang, (IR#8) a historian who is still single, wants CSI team to confirm if God is against medicine? IS medicine part of sorcerer's magic? Is medicine and doctors against Biblical teaching of God? Will doctors go to heaven? Or will they be banished and thrown to fire. (Rev 21:8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.) Do doctors still take their Hippocratic Oath that includes swearing by Apollo, Asclepius, Hygieia, and Panacea, and take to witness all the gods, all the goddesses, to keep according to the ability and my judgment, the following Oath.........I will prescribe regimens for the good of my patients according to my ability and my judgment and never do harm to anyone. I will not give a lethal drug to anyone if I am asked, nor will I advise such a plan; and similarly I will not give a woman a pessary to cause an abortion.........etc etc

  8. Mikey Soh Toh Sai, (IR#9) a blur blur person that is known for his shitty nonsense, wants to check if CSI has covered all the evidence on ground. Have CSI team members comb the evidence site and check all the shitty past of Abraham. Is there any shit(pardon the word shit) that smells like SIN. Is there SIN that is not forgiven by God. Sins that Abraham did not asked for forgiveness. If Abraham has hidden Sin, can Sin stop Sarah's healing and transformation? Is seeking forgiveness important for victory in life and to ensure that one still qualify to go to heaven? Can CSI proof that God keeps a ledger book (buku tiga lima....555) for all our sins. If we are still in debt as He balanced out our ledger book, will we get our blessings from God.? I was thought that He will send His HOLY SPIRIT to remind us of all our long over due debt.

  9. Frankie Kwan Toh Loong, (IR#10) who is always quick in painting picture that explains all, wants to know why go for only 150 years. Why not stay alive forever. Why short change a world picture for a half page picture? Is there any biblical verses that can give me this comfort? I want to live forever so that I can complete painting the whole world red with Jesus' blood.

  10. Lion King Tim Sai, (IR#11) who is always full with BRIGHT ideas LIGHTING up in his head, wants to know if he needs to change candle stick if his current candle stick does not approve of long life teaching? CSI team members look at each other puzzled, what candle stick is he talking about? Lion King lights up and with a big smile switch off by saying, it is CSI job to solve the MYSTERY of the candle stick.
  11. Alice Lee Chee Kang, (IR#12)who is always unsure whether she is in or out of the church membership list, wonders why so many Christians who got their healing lost their healing eventually?. Most got their healing without confessing the Word. Some lost it as fast as they got it and some lost their healing after a month, six months and some as long as several years. Why is that so? Can CSI show proof that Sarah did not loose her beauty transformation and she continues to remain beautiful till she died?

Comments by CSI TEAM Manger: We thank all the reportees, and we assure you that we will quickly investigate all reports that were lodged today. We promise to share our findings in this forum without fear and favor. We are however short of resources (hands) to help out in the investigation. Those who are keen to help, can write in to me stating areas of specialties ( i.e bible quotes seekers, prayer partner to ask Holy Spirit to lead us to the answers, preparing powerpoint presentation materials, flash animation, etc etc) I can be contacted via email at Ask4longlife@gmail.com

Thanks. Photobucket

I strongly encourage you to stay alive and dont die on me. Be blessed to live hundred and fifty years and more.

BREAKING NEWS

Can someone please produce evidence to show that man can live longer than 150 years old?
Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
WOW! Amazing........... You can really live up to 154 Years Old! WOW! WOW! AND WOW!
Is he the only privileged one? Can we have a long and satisfying life too? I believe we can have the same long life like JESUS CAMPECHE. YES WE CAN......
Is there anyone out there that would like to join me to live up to 150 years old............and freak out the non believers into wanting to believe what we beleive. Yes, believe that we do have a God that bless us with long life.

Psa 91:16 With long life will I satisfy him, and show him my salvation.

In this verse, I am to be satisfied by HIM. How satisfied is determined by me, not by GOD. He wants to give me long life at His end and I am claiming that I can be satisfied at 150 years old, at my end. How satisfied am I with a cup of coffee is determined by me, not the one that make the cup of coffee. It is the same, be it cake, bread, food, lunch or dinner, the person that sets the satisfaction level is the receiving party, the consuming party. Not the giver or the one dishing out the goodies.

For me to die young, would only mean that I die before I reach 150 years old. And If I die young, Psalm 91:16 won't be true anymore. The Bible will not mean the same to me and many other believers will likewise seriously challenge the accuracy of the Bible. Many will hold the view that some Bible verses can be true and some may not be true..........Hmmmm do you see what I am trying to get at? A lot is at stake here.

I know Psalm 91:16 is the TRUTH. You too can be rest assured that it is the TRUTH. WHYMICHAEL? you may ask.............. because it is written in Isaiah 55:11 "So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it."

Come join me in this journey to search the scripture to find out if we too can have long satisfying life.

Christ Scene Investigation (CSI) Case #1 Old Lady Turns Young And Beautiful

HOW CAN THIS BE? Sarah at the age of 91 years old can attract King Abimelech to her. This fatal attraction takes place after Sarah gave birth to Isaac at the age of 91. Abraham is so scared of her beauty that he cowardly told the half truth to King Abimelech that Sarah is his sister. But with all these plots taking shape, God amazingly still bless Sarah and Abraham. Why and how?



Welcome to Ask4Longlife.com. My name is Michael Soh. I will walk you through what CSI Case #1 is all about. But first, let me explain what CSI means. When you mention CSI, the first thing that comes to our mind is the favorite CRIME SCENE INVESTIGATION shows we watch on our TV. Yes, it is similar to the Crime Scene Investigation shows, be it Miami SCI or New York CSI. Well, our CIS has a similar set up but solely biblical focus. The main difference is found in the first alphabet of CSI. Our “C” represents CHRIST instead of Crime.

Our CSI goes down to investigate the scene of Christ, asking questions and probing biblical verses to find answers to solve and conclude our investigation. I sincerely hope you will find our CSI cases fun, enjoyable and rewarding.


FIRST INVESTIGATION REQUEST (IR)

To begin, I will first share with you in summary the investigation request (IR) that was lodged by Simon Choo Kai Fan on November 1, 2008. Simon Choo reported that there was a serious flaw in the biblical story found in Gen17 to Gen23. In these chapters you will find the amazing story told over and over again of God’s grace in blessing Abraham and Sarah with a baby boy named Isaac. We are all familiar with the great miracle of giving birth to a child at an old age of 91. No want in a sane mind will try to conceive at the age of 90 and be a mum at the age of 91 years old. The Isaac miracle was told over and over again in books, movies in the form of 2D or3D animation and even performance by life characters.
Simon Choo wants the CSI team to investigate if it is at all possible for an old lady to give birth at the age of 91? If yes, can we encourage ladies at that age group to continue to have babies? But how do we get them to be excited about sex and want to have sex to bear children for their husband. Likewise how do we get their husband to respond to their sexual advances? These are all serious investigation stuff and posses difficult challenges ahead for our CSI team to solve.

CSI TEAM MOVES IN

First the CSI team moves in to take Simon Choo's statement. Then they work round the clock to recreate a model how the event took place. They tabulates the events on the white board (see diagram above) and study the events carefully. They mark the bible verses and again re-tabulate the events vertically across the horizontal line that denotes time. Wallah!............ the picture unfolds


Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting



The CSI forensic team re-tabulates the biblical verses and attempts to draw out the environment where Sarah and Abraham live. These are all done without changing the time sequence of events.

The following key findings were noted:

1. IR passed accuracy test: What Simon Choo wrote in his IR is indeed what was written in Genesis chapter 17 to 23. Thus his IR warrants investigation. How can an old lady at the age of 91 years old give birth to Isaac?
2. New questions / mysteries for CSI to resolve: Did God get His facts wrong or may be someone wrote the book of Genesis with the sequence all mixed up. May be due to God ‘s budget constraint, God employed a lowly paid writer that is not good at keeping records of events in the correct time sequence. Thus when he wrote the book of Genesis, he really mix it up big time.
3. NEW AMAZING FINDING: Sarah not only amazingly gave birth at the age of 91 years old but Sarah at that age can attract King Abimelech to want her. This sounds a bit absurd and send shivers in many young men’s blood stream that has high hormones. Can a King be attracted to an old lady?
4. The King is not blind. It is safe to say that the king is not blind. The King has a choice to choose or not to choose Sarah for his harem. The King is not forced to take Sarah, nor is the King a fetish maniac. We can confirm this because, Abraham himself is so afraid to tell King Abimelech that Sarah is his wife. Instead Abraham chose to tell King Abimelech that Sarah is his sister ( purposely avoiding the fact that Sarah is his wife) The bible tells us that Abraham was afraid that King Abimelech may kill him to possess Sarah. Why on earth will a King do that? Unless Sarah is a be very beautiful and attractive lady.

The CSI forensic team studies the scriptures thoroughly to find out what new elements introduce into the environment that can have such a profound impact on both Sarah and Abraham. The CSI team pin points two biblical verse:-

Change Element #1


Gen 15:6 And he believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him for righteousness.

Rom 4:3 For what saith the Scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.
Rom 4:4 Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt.
Rom 4:5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.
Rom 4:6 Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works,

James 2:23 And the Scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God.

Change Element#2

Gen 17:15 And God said unto Abraham, As for Sarai thy wife, thou shalt not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall her name be.

I believe we can deduce some interesting formulas that are greater than Einstein’s Physics formulas in John 1:1 and John 1:14. These formulas circle around the word “ WORD”
Jesus performs miracles with WORDs only. His words is SPIRIT and LIFE . (John 6:63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.) Jesus knew the secret of WORDS. He healed the sick with words. We become the sons of God, partakers of His very nature by confessing His words. We became faith warriors by using faith Words that produce Faith results.

To extract those powerful formulas, we need to read John 1:1 and 14 carefully:-
1) John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2) John 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

Formulas identified by CSI team member:

1) BEGINNING (GOD) =WORD
2) WORD = WITH GOD
3) WORD = GOD
4) WORD = FLESH

Some interesting permutation from the above that we can take away are
1) WORD = GOD = FLESH
2) BEGINNING = WORD = GOD
3) WITH GOD = WORD= BEGINNING
4) BEGINNING = GOD
5) WORD = GOD
6) FLESH = GOD

Sarah means PRINCES. When God change Sarai name to Sarah, he has a purpose for doing so. Imagine, Abraham calling out PRINCES when he see Sarah. Each time Abraham call out Sarah’s name, he is effectively pronouncing blessing on Sarah. In the spiritual realm, Abraham is laying a layer of God’s word on Sarah. Each layer, bit by bit, forms flesh as Abraham exercise his faith that he is accorded righteousness by God.


In conclusion, when we confess God’s word we are setting in motion in the spiritual realm the power of God’s word to work. The spiritual world will move and transform the words that are spiritual to flesh. The more we confess His words in faith, the greater results we see. After all we were taught that Faith comes by hearing. (Rom 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God) It did not say, Faith comes from having heard the word of God once. In fact in Rom 10:17 it says “ COMETH by hearing ………….denoting continuous present tense.

The Word is God eternal. It cannot be destroyed. He watches over it to make it good. His Word brought man into being. Now He is building Himself into man through the Word.

The Word is part of Himself and it is this Self that is changing the conduct of the believers and bringing them into harmony with Himself. He shares Himself with us: He gives us His nature in the New Creation. He makes Himself one with us.

It is very important to note that the Word that we speak out is GOD in Spirit and has life. We should be conscious of God when we speak out His Word. We can rest assured that His Word will not come back void. But it will go forth and fulfill (Isaiah 55:11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.)

What we confess, will either kill us or give us abundant life. Holding fast to our confession, when our common sense contradicts what we confess, shows that we have become strongly grounded in His Word. The medical facts about our ageing body maybe accurate account in the physical world. But God’s Word is the TRUTH. The Word is the Truth and the Truth is more powerful than all medical Facts assemble together

The concrete that we pile below our house before we build the body structure of the house tells us that the house is built on solid ground. Imagine a piling machine piling day and night on the ground. That machine is equivalent to us speaking out His Word that pound in the foundation of this Spiritual Strength into whatever we do in our life.

I attempt to draw out a house on all the four blocks. You can easily deduce from the diagram, which house is on solid rock, firm and strong………yes, we have a house that can take the beating and withstand the onslaught of Satan

This is another pictorial diagram that I hope to get across the message that the words we confess need to be done on a regular basis. Just as we need to eat our food daily. (Breakfast, lunch and dinner) We grow in size with the food we take daily. The opposite is true, when we fast and abstain from food, we will diminish in size.

Again, here I am trying to get you to virtualize the word that you speak out in the form of sound waves. These sound waves will hit onto your skin. (And WOW!, what a thick skin you have) Each time the word you speak out pound onto your skin, it leaves a layer of God’s word on your skin. With faith, His words turnubg into flesh (John 1:14). It helps to virtualize these sound waves transforming to real GODLY SKIN. Do take some time and just speak out His word and virtualizes the word you speak out in the form of sound waves hitting your body. Close your eyes and see how His word turns to flesh. I pray that as you virtualize His word and His transformation in your mind, your faith will also transform from HOPE STAGE to real SOLID FAITH STAGE. All these will come to pass through the confession that you make daily.
Again remember in Gal 2:20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for .........KJV

Gal 2:20 I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

In conclusion, remember you need to pound it in to see the transformation. You need to eat His words daily to glow in His glory. Sarah is so beautiful and can attract a King at the age of 91 ( even after giving birth to Isaac) is because of the simple daily confession of Abraham. You too can have this blessing today. Start confessing God’s word today.
Remember in Heb 11:3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.
You cannot see the sound waves from the words you utter out from your mouth they are SPIRIT and they are LIFE. They are God's living word. Joh 6:63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
