Revolutionary Revelational Thoughts

Through 'labouring' over these past few weeks, it's about 2weeks since i posted anything on my blog. Seriously, i need to have "intellectual vomitation", because i've been feeling intellectual nausea; best situation is the possibility of having an intellectual interaction with someone. :)

Recently, i had a revelation from one of the verses in the Book of Life. John 15:16 mentions, "You did not choose Me, but i chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you."

It starts with "You did not choose Me,..." He's Jesus(God's manifestation in man) and He created the whole universe, gave you life by breathing into you, so by right you have no right to choose. When you were born, you were not of God, that's why we need to accept and receive Christ into our lives when we grow up; confessing our sins, saying the sinners' prayer.

However, God actually had plans for you even before you receive Christ when He says, "..but i chose you.." What a great decision it is, for someone to choose another person who is stubborn as a mule and did not choose Him. How many people will be able to bear with that? As it follows, "..and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit.." An appointment? you might wonder why is God appointing us? That's because the great purpose of going to bear fruit is an important task and God thinks highly enough of us to appoint us! When you are appointed to do something, do you give a couldn't care less attitude? Absolutely NO! Instead when an appointment comes upon us, we take pride in what we do, with excellence, trying our best not to let ,the person who appointed us, down. Notice that it says we should go and bear fruit, the word asserting its strong meaning here is "should". It means compulsory and bearing fruit is usually after having done alot of things, from sowing/planting, watering, daily attention and in addition a time factor. The Fruit refers to souls that will be added to His kingdom. Fruit symbolizes prosperous, therefore we should prosper heaven with souls that receive and believe in the LORD our God.

As you know that fruit will ripen and fall off the tree and dropped on the ground. Coupled with the possibility that no one touches the fruit, leaving it on the ground, it will eventually rot. So Jesus says, "..and that you fruit should remain.." So after you have prospered His kingdom, you have to follow up, edifying and encouraging your brothers and sisters in Christ, spurring them on to love God even more, lest they will not slip away from God.

Finally here comes the part where most people liked, "..that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you." When you desire something, you ask God in Jesus name. This verse is God speaking through Jesus to man, and we have to ask for something from God also through Jesus. When Jesus says that, He is helping you to get something you want, because He knows that if you ask in His name, you'll be more able to get it. He loves you, and loving is giving. You might wonder why Jesus uses the word "may"? It means you too have to work extremely hard to get what you want; using all means(righteous ones) to get it, accompanied with the grace of God. Under such circumstances will you get the desires of your heart. I thank God for His grace and mercy because by man, it's impossible, but with God all things are possible to the extent of your imagination. WOW~*

I've been thinking about the freedom of worship to our God. I was in my dad's car when i listened to techno music when my brother changed radio channels. It inspired me to want to create and compose music, a new kind of praise and worship, an unconventional one. I started to inquire of myself of the possibility of immersing into techno and trance music in praise and worship of my God Almighty. We can clap our hands when the music starts and when it goes into the trance parts, the whole congregation lift up their hands in worship. This whole scene just played in my mind, just amazing, how God can give me revelations upon revelations. I'm going to start on my project and make my visualisation a reality.

And again i give thanks to God for i've become more of a thinker, better self confidence to be able to try new things, and most importantly, getting more in touch with my artistic self. I find that i'm metamorphing into someone who is more at balance, maximising both sides of my brain. Exploring more into the unknown by man, i'm becoming more extraordinary as compared to my ordinary self who can easily blend into the surroundings without much effort. For that i give thanks to God; Elohim, Master Creator of the vast heaven and earth and the whole of universe within a week and yet after millions of years, there are still thousands of mysteries unrevealed. Great is our God!
