Full Circle
I have been “seeking” for a long time and finally, I have found the ultimate resource to Life’s questions — The Bible.
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. — John 1:1 KJV
I had the spirit of Jacob, the Man wrestling with God, within me for the last 18 years — heartache upon heartache, deception upon deception, and complexity upon complexity. Though I took accountability for my life choices, I attempted to make sense of my life experiences with the aid of my feeble mind using man-made tools such as Psychology and Philosophy, and even, Occult Mysticism and Divinatory Arts including Tarot and Astrology that are actually demonic tools. I was looking for answers to questions that I know not what, but the closest I can describe it to be is an unidentified hunger, an unquenchable thirst, a deep longing in the soul and an abysmal emptiness in the heart; lost, unanchored and floating in a zero gravity vacuum.
In the last 5 months, I have been on a “work break” whilst building on something big and it is draining me of my physical and emotional resources almost to a breaking point. I have been deeply contemplating on my life more than ever and it felt like I was being “tested” and being “pruned” to almost nothing but Faith. Fortunately, my Mom moved in with me 3 months ago while her place is being renovated and I am grateful she did because she has been my support (She’s that devout Catholic who prays everyday for at least 8 hours and goes to Church at least 2–3 times a week, and I had to go with her to mass every time). She became the Earth Angel who guided me to the renewal of my Faith to the One True God through Jesus Christ.
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me — John 14:16 KJV
I have struggled with sin all my life (pride/hubris being the one I am most guilty of). Prayer shields me from the weapons of temptation to sin. When I stopped going to Church, I wandered far and away from God but in His providence, I have circled back to Him. In my commitment to Walk with Jesus Christ, I have devoted to combine prayer with a daily study of the Scripture and to share God’s Word to anyone I can because The Bible is about Jesus Christ who is God incarnate. God wants us to know Him by knowing Jesus Christ through His epic story in The Bible.
The Gospel of God is the guide to righteousness and it trumps the “gospel of self” espoused by the misguided New Age movement based on Satan’s perversion of Jesus Christ’s teachings.
As expected, the spirit of Jacob in me lost the wrestling match with God and though I am left with a limp, I pray that I win God’s blessings through Jesus Christ and be part of His Kingdom if it be His will then thy Will be done.
Hearken unto me, O Jacob and Israel, my called; I am He; I am the First, I also am the Last. — Isaiah 48:12, KJV
The Lord God Most High, truly has the Last Word.
