1957, J. Paul Getty had become the wealthiest American and lived in almost unimaginable luxury. But even Getty's phenomenal wealth seems insignificant when compared to what God has promised us, Getty would often say, "The meek shall inherit the earth, but not its mineral rights." He was only half right! Getty's life was one of incredible wealth and power, but it is nothing compared to the glory that God has promised His faithful. And he was very, very wrong about the meek not inheriting the earth's mineral rights!

Born in 1892 in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Getty had already earned his first million dollars in the Oklahoma oil fields by 1916. But he had only begun!Undaunted by the worldwide Depression, Mr. Getty expanded his oil company holdings by acquiring controlling interests in larger oil enterprises and added high-end estate, such as the Hotel Pierre in New York City. By the close of World War II, Getty was reaching the upper strata of wealth and power. He personally worked with King Saud to secure Saudi Arabian oil rights in what would become some of the largest oil deposits ever discovered. Getty was propelled to an extremity of fortune unknown even to most millionaires, monarchs and other men of power and wealth. After 1959, Getty retired to a rather impenetrable fortress called Sutton Place Manor. This lavish seven-hundred-acre estate outside of London, England became his personal sanctuary where he kept caged lions and giant Alsatian guard dogs. Here, he entertained the most powerful personalities of his day.

Why am I sharing this?
It is because, The True God of the Bible is the one and only God, " The Great I Am"

Our God is Eternal Life (Matt.25:46) with God the Father and Jesus Christ. Those who overcome Satan, who follow and obey God's commandments now (1 John 5:2-3), will inherit eternal life at Christ's return (Revelation 20:4-6). Nothing physical is more wonderful that this my friends, and this should be the main goal of our lives now ( Matt. 6:33). Many had followed that path, to get wealth and wanting to gain infuence and ultimately power.

But, what does your Bible reveal about the physical wealth that God will reveal under Christ's rule? Do you believe what the Lord God, Creator of the entire universe says about that glorious future?

Ezekiel 36:33-36 explains that the desolate lands will be made fertile and rich like the Garden of Eden! And, Isaiah 60:5-18 shows that "the abundance of the sea" and "the wealth of the nations" will be given to those whom Christ restores during His millenial reign. The cities will be majestic, they will be rich in gold and silver and will be safe. And even beyond this time, God the Father will rule from Jerusalem, and that historically much afflicted city will be built of pure gold and precious stones (Revelation 21:18-21)

Where will this fantastic wealth coming from?

One answer is found in Isaiah 60:5. "The abundance of the sea" does not only include fish for food and tidal currents for power, but "A cubic mile of it (sea water) can contain up to 25 tons of gold and up to 45 tons of silver" (Why is the Ocean Salty?) study paper by the United States Geological Survey. Other studies suggest that there are over 9 million tons of gold in the ocean. This is about 150 times the amount of gold mined in human history.

Who is right, God or J. Paul Getty? Will God's Kingdom provides riches,health,abundance,food,safety and happiness beyond what we can imagine?
Is living with Christ in this awesome prosperity worth striving for? if so, then let us "be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving (ourselves") ( James 1:22), so that when Christ returns, He will not say of us, "Why (did) you call me Lord,Lord, and not do the things which I say? ( Luke 6:46 ). Instead we want to hear Him say, " Well done, good and faihtful servant" (Matt. 25:21)

And how can you inherit if you do not have the right?,

When we adpoted a son, my wife and I gave that boy the full right as a son.
And whatever wealth we have he also have that right.
(John 3:1-8) is a very crucial verses regarding a person's future, and their are many scriptures to prove to all that, no one can enter or inherit the Kingdom of God, unless one is born of water and spirit ( meaning baptized in the baptism of Christ at the jordan river,  and the spirit ascended like a dove and rested on Jesus), The apostles while praying at the upper room on the day of pentecost, the Holy Spirit came down and filled them all, (Acts 2), It is the same spirit that is given today as a receipt or a seal, proving that if you have the holy spirit in you, then you are born of God. How can you have this gift? It only thru repentance, (meaning turning from, the old ways of life and walking towards the Savior of our soul) (Acts 2:38)

So much more to say, but I thought it be good, sharing to you from my heart to my fellow Boholano's.

To whom it may concern:

In these days of moral relativity and tolerance of anything but absolute truth, we should remember that the concept of separating God from government is man's idea--- not God's.

The men and women who risked their lives and livelihoods to build the liberty we enjoy would be astounded at how we've divorced faith in God from public policy. It is absurd to believe that faith in God has no place in government or politics," writes steve Massey in an article written shortly before both the Canadian and U.S. elections. "A charade that would puzzle, if not outrage, those who founded our country on Christian principles, " he continues, In George Washington's farewell address, he warned, " Let us with caution indulge the supposition that morality can be maintained without religion.....reason and experience bothforbid us to expect that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle. "Two years later, in 1778, a signer of the Declaration of Independence argued strongly that Christian principles must remain the cornerstone of public policy making, including education, which, said Benjamin Rush, requires "the universal education of our youth in the principles of Christianity by means of the Bible."

" The idea of separating church and state came from people aimed at preventing the government from mandating a particular religious practice ---- NOT kicking God out of the public square entirely. More and more Christians are buying the lie that faith is merely a private matter that has no bearing on the workplace, relationships, how we vote, or how we're governed....

Christ is not a segment of life to be kept separate from everything else--- He is Life itself....

Now this brings us to what is going on in our ideas and methodology, it is corrupted, and some didn't even know it, how can they know if they don't really have a Biblical Worldview?
They may call themselves Christians and confess Christ, but the way they talk and live their lives, is opposite to what the Bible teaches.....The reality has been here two thousand years ago, but the rest of humanity is living in utopianism of Satan the Devil.... puzzled?  read the Bible and You will understand, but first you must pray and ask God to give you the knowledge, God's Knowledge not some washyy...washyyy one... As i said in my previous article, that there are "4 World Views".
Now which of the 4 do you believe or practice? that should be a good test for you.....

Unsa may nagpaluyo aning walay katapusang catastrophic events that has recently pounded the United States?

Many Americans are asking the question, why does this happen? why are we pounded by this catastrophic events?

Kay nakahibalo na baya ta ngano nga ang America nag antos karon, kay kani laging "SIN" nga kuno bahin sa modern humanist or secular movement is an thing from the past. There is only self realization, nothing else....hehehehhe makatawa ra baja ta ani oy, gahi jud diay nang kamagung nga kahoy no? or a birch tree? really?,

Statistics shows last years abortion in the USA, was the highest ever in the history of human existence, and you ask why is this happening to us?, Philippines do you want to share the punishment that is upon the USA? by becoming the 51st State?

The God Of Israel, Jesus Christ, "Elohim" in the old testament said: I will punish them, I will assign terror over them, I will make their land desolate, They have not known my ways.
I will destroy them until they realize that I Am that I Am.

Repentance is the key my friends, easy to say, hard to do.... not hard if you are living in a real world, but if you're mind is set on things that are not real,( utopianism) then you are in deep trouble, bisan unsa pay imong nahuman sa atong kalibutan, kung wala ang Ispiritu ni Kristo sa imong kinabuhi, maupaw nalang ka dili gihapon ka makasabot sa imong kinabuhi.

Cause and effect, its a very hard sell in America these days, and its spreading like cancer. The world is embracing it. So as the Philippines, Freedom from Sin and Guilt.

America has come to a point that, it might go down rapidly-- but the true followers of Christ will stay protected and blessed. and it is really true because of so many testemonies of true Christians in the United States that was spared from disasters.... The Bible is real and relevant in our day, Only God can change the course of America, If America does not repent--- then he will be humbled and broken.....

For us true followers of Christ, it is a very good sign--- He Is Coming Soon....

Hello Bohol and the World,

Here is some interesting topic that we can ponder, whether our human experience has been influence by this religion called " Markxist/Leninist and Humanistic Society"

I know for a fact that our beautiful Bohol is in between dictrines, religious and secular. As a result, a conflict from a local form of government or national.

Marxist psychologist seem to be tied even more inextricably than Humanists to the behaviorist view of man, since Marxism describes man's development as an inevitable march towrd communisn. This notion of a determined development of man seems to exclude Free Will, which approximates the behaviorist view that man's decisiona and actions are simply the result of his brain's response to environmental stimuli. Before I go further with this, I want to show you guys why is it so important for all of us Boholano's, to know which side are we living.

* FOUR TYPES OF PSYCHOLOGY *

Which side are you?

1. Secular Humanist believes and practices : Monistic Self Actualization
    ( Self- Actualized Man) Man- Centered Values;
2. Marxist/Leninist believes and practices : Monistic Pavlovian Behaviorism
    ( Behaviorism Defined ) Marxism's Rejection of Traditional Behaviorism;
3. Cosmic Humanist believes and practices : Collective Consciousness or Universalism
    ( Mind and Matter ) Methods for Achieving Higher Consciousness; Oprah's religion
4. Christianity believes and practices : Dualism
    ( The Supernatural Mind ) Human Nature and Sin; Guilt: Psychological or Real?: Mental Illness;   
       The Realistic Approach to Sin and Guilt; The problem of Suffering; Society and the Individual

" The real test of a theory or way of life, however, is not whether  it can relieve pain but what it
says about the pain it cannot relieve. And this is where, I believe, psychology lets us down and Christianity supports us..."by: William Kirk Kilpatrick

" HE BREATHED INTO HIS NOSTRILS THE BREATH OF LIFE AND MAN BECAME A LIVING SOUL "
--- Genesis 2:7

Im going to begin with the Cosmic Humanist, since it is becoming a very popular movement or religion.
Methods for Achieving Higher Consciousness:
What methods does " fourth force " psychology emply to induce states of higher consciousness in willing individuals? Most often it relies on meditation( often aided by crystals, candles, carve images, mantras etc). An author in Life Times Magazine states emphatically, "My message to everyone now is to learn to meditate. It was through meditation that many other blessings came about." According to the Cosmic Humanist, higher consciousness will naturally flow from meditation as one of its many "blessings." But other  "blessings" may manifest themselves as well. For example, meditation often creates in an individual the ability to channel spirits, according to Kathleen Vande Kief:

Almost without exception, those who channel effectively meditate regularly. The process of channeling itself is an extension of the state of meditation.... the best way to prepare, then for channeling is by meditation.

Isn't it an old Catholic practice? I remember when my old folks did it, and the priest encourages it. I wonder if it came from that old mystical cosmic wholistic type of religion... Ngano kaha nga ang atong mga kaigsu-onan diha sa Pilipinas mao gihapon ang ilang practice? a  modern, supersticiuos belief, No wonder our nation is also plague with wrong religion and corruption.....


Anyways mga kaigsu-onan kung gusto ninyo mahibaluan ang kahumanan ining akung study, you can ask me, I would be delighted to share with you my study.....

May the True God And Savior of your Souls keep you from being deceive...


cheers,

Have you ever meet a true Christian? nakasiguro kaba nga ang imong igsuon tinuod nga naga sunod ug naga puyo sa Kristuhanong kinabuhi?" Igsuon " Have you attended a church full of true Christians? Are you sure? What is it that makes a person a true Christian or a Christ like?
The Philippines calls itself a Christian nation, so as the United States and the rest of the commomwealth nations. Some so called Christian nation even have an inscription that say's " In God We Trust ", that is the USA in their currency. In many Western nations, Christianity is the official state religion. Yet in our mixed-up, confused world, there are more than 400 sects and denominations calling themselves "Christian". They all have somewhat different beliefs and practices. Even so, every one of them is named after Jesus Christ! Could it be because, rather partly because of this, many non- Chrisatians scoff at the idea that Christianity is directly inspired by God.
Naunsa naman ni oy, no wonder. For many of the greatest wars in modern history have been started by proffesing Christian nations. And statistics show that the incidence of rape, robbery and murder has been skyrocketing in many of the Western, or Asian, so called- "Christian nations for over the past several decades. Ngano kaha?
Could it be that they do not really understand what Christianity is all about? or could it be that, even though millions are heavily involved in "churchianity", they do not really grasp-- or live by-- the plain, clear teachings of Christ? adto sa ta sa history, i qoute: Modern philosopher Soren Kierkegaard, in his Atteck Upon Christendom, wrote: "The Christianity of the New Testament simply does not exist. Millions of people through the centuries have little by little cheated God out of Christianity, and have succeded on making Christianity exactly the opposite of what it is in the New testament". KInsa man siya nga musulti ana? part of the answer is in the fact that the greatest and most bloody wars in all human history have been waged primarily in europe-- the very heart of western, "Christian Civilization". In fact, the proffesing Christian church directly instigated a series of "holy wars" during the Middle ages, called the "Crusades". Here is one description of the supposed blessings which "Christians" put on the murderous and bloodthirsty activities of the Crusaders: " The knight who joined the Crusades might thus indulge the bellicose side of his genius--under the aegis and at the bidding of the Church; and in so doing he would also attain what the spiritual side of his nature ardently sought-- a perfect salvation and remission of sins. He might butcher all day, till he waded ankle--deep in blood, and then at night fall kneel, sobbing for very joy, at the altar of the Sepulchre--for was he not red from the winepress of the Lord?" Nakahibalo ba kamo nga ang ilang gipang patay mga Jew and Muslims and the True Followers of Christ......
Were these men true followers of the humble carpenter of Nazareth who said: "Love your enemies"? Yet remember mga igsuon that these men called themselves by the name of Christ---"Christian." The same spirit is alive today in our country the Philippines, they are spiritual murderers, they have no regard for the Spiritual Law of God Almighty.....It seems that mearly all western religions,philosophies and sects insist upon applying the name of Christ to their own ideas, teachings and practices. In ancient times, the pagans at least openly and honestly acknowledge their worship of their various "gods" and demon spirits of their own choosing.
Since the life, death and resurrection of the Son of God, a great deception has resulted in the placing of Christ's name on every type of pagan,heathen,perverted philosophy of man that has come along! Shocking, kuyawan mo? kay tinuod baya kini, the fact that many churches, doctrines, ideas and practices of men are called "Christian" proves absolutely nothing! Did Christ start these ideas and institutions? Do they follow His teaching and His example? How can you know? Unsaon man nimo pagkahibalo?
Almighty God inspired the Apostle John to describe the Devil as " that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world" (Rev. 12:9). Again, in Revelation 20:1-3, God describes how Satan will soon be restrained "that he should deceive the nations no more."
These inspired scriptures certainly show that most people and nations have been misled and deceived by Satan the Devil! This, very frankly, is the "Key," which explains why there are so many obvious contradictions in our supposedly "Christian" society. It shows why this world is so mixed up and confused about what the word "Christian" really means. It shows that our civilization has not been following Christ, but has been deceived into going many different ways under Satan's confusing influence! We can go on and on regarding this topic, but i want to cut to the point: and this is the point that i am making, have you studied the Word of God? have you lived the life giving Word of God? Is Jesus Christ in your Bible living in you daily? Do you understand what true Grace is all about? Have you lived by the Grace of God? Search the Scriptures, discover the awesome Power of The Word of God.....I promise you mga igsuon kung inyo lang abrihan ang inyong huna-huna ug kasing-kasing sa mga Pulong sa Atong Amahan, makit-an ninyo ang tinuod nga Kinabuhi,dili relihiyon kung dili Relasyon ni Kristo nga walay maka tupong.....
I have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives 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 up for me. I do not set aside nor abandon the Grace of God, for if righteousness comes through the Law, then Christ died in vain. Mga igsuon ang atong Amahan, gihatag ang tanan para kanato, nganong ato mang usik usikan ang iyang mga Grasya nga iyang gihatag kanato, Its a free gift, all you have to do is receive it by faith in Christ, and live your life as Christ lived His life here on earth...It won"t be perfect but take heart, for He has overcome the world, so we must by faith, do the works of Christ here on earth. There are so many scriptures that i can qoute supporting my claim, but i want you to discover it on your own and reap the joy of knowing who God really is...Then you will know if you are a true follower of Jesus Christ... Search the Scriptures, Test every spirit and see if it is true... My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge, Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being priest for me; Because you have forgotten the Law of your God, I also will forget your children. (Hosea 3:6). So my friends and fellow men in Bohol, ponder uopn these sayings, and pray that the Lord God Almighty will open your minds and hearts, to receive His Awesome Gift, "His Son Jesus Christ" and ask Him to send His Spirit to live in you and to teach you all things in righteousness... Maajung adlaw sa inyong tanan diha sa Bohol...
