Old memory

When I was about 7 years old (in the second grade), I was in school and I kissed my best friend in front of the whole class. Some kids laughed at me, and others told me I was gay, and some told me I was going to hell because 'boys not supposed to kiss boys'. But my friend was like my brother, and I was just showing him (and everyone) that I truly cared for him using the only method I knew at the time; that was to give him a kiss. But I did not understand the insults from my classmates. I thought it was OK to love my friend and to affectionately show that love, but it was discouraged. Someone obviously forgot to tell me not to show affection to friends that have penises. The insults from my classmates disturbed me because that was the first time in my life that I thought something was wrong with me. Elementary school was sometimes hell for me - especially in the years that followed. "Kelvin kissed a boy", "Kelvin is gay" - I stayed in the classroom during recess on many days because I didn't want to be insulted outside. I remember asking my mother "if boys kiss boys does it mean they're gay?" I remember her saying "No", but I don't remember what she said afterward. She probably thought to herself, "What is this little boy talking about now?!".

To Know God

I sat outside tonight having dialogue with God - and when I say 'dialogue' I mean back and forth communication, and not one way pleads and prayers that you so often do with the idol you and your ancestors have served.

We spoke about the brutal dictatorship of Iran and about why Christ does what Christ has been doing.

Christ learned lessons from the past, and has not been eager to let people experience God's power in this place. Faithfulness is the only way to please God, it is the only way to do good, and it can only come about by experiencing God's power. But if Christ reveals to you God's power in an explosive manner, there is a great risk that you will bring your ideas of God to your new relationship with Christ, and that CANNOT happen. This occurred in the past and has been detrimental to the human condition ever since; it has birthed religion, namely Christianity. It was the issue of Paul - though he was a prophet of God - he brought his previous ideas of God and the law into the bed of Christ, and this burdened the Church with rules and beliefs - a burden that has lasted for thousands of years. So he had to be let go of his position and he perished. Christ loves the world - and this was made known to me from above - but Christ cannot be openly revealed to the world without consequence, unfortunately. There will not be another Paul incident.

Christ spoke to me tonight about the transformation in Brent's nose and about why it isn't going as fast as he prefer (or preferred) - http://www.awitness.org and http://twitter.com/bkherbert99. The church was founded on those faster-style healings in the first century - God's power was revealed to Jews and Romans alike. Though Christ was hopeful - just as hope was placed in him - humanity was not ready for God to be revealed, and a lot of false doctrines, prophets, opinions, and beliefs were born. The world was hurled into exile as a result - where you wouldn't hear a single peep from God for thousands of years.

Now, since science and technology has progressed and people do not cling to religion like they used to (especially in northern North America and Europe), there may be an opportunity for the power of Christ to be revealed - as it has been to myself and Brent. (It will be well thought out by Christ before taking place.) Speaking of myself, it was risky of Christ to reveal God's power to me - but he knew that he could help me deal with my emotionally instability and certain bad behaviors without me having to die first. He knew that, with time, I would let go of judging people based on what I think they ought to be doing. He knew that any of my preconceived notions of God would be left in the past, and that I would not so easily attach old beliefs to the Living God who surrounds me with kindness everyday.

Judging

This world would be a beautifully different world if people refused to judge one another, if parents refused to judge their children. Judging is the descendant of lies - the direct descendant of belief, which is the descendant of lies.

A prophecy concerning Iran

Ten years ago, in 2008, Yahweh showed me US bombs falling on Iran. It was the only time I ever had a vision. I was speaking to God about the injustice done in Iraq, but my tongue slipped, and I said "Iran". Then my head filled with US bombs falling on Iran, immediately afterward, one of those luminous spacecrafts flew overhead in confirmation. I then asked, "Perhaps the US will drop bombs on Iran?" and another luminous spacecraft flew overhead in confirmation.

This has always made me wonder, and still does, why God would mention to me that the US would drop bombs on Iran. The US spends billions, if not trillions, developing new bombs and new bomb technologies, and has used them all around the Middle East. Why mention Iran?

I don't think I heard a peep from God concerning Iran in the last 10 years, until tonight. The word of Yahweh came to me twice. Firstly, Iran does not have to be bombed by the US, and secondly, it is not God's desire that Iran be bombed.

Iran, I know that you are taunted and bullied. You are like a man who is just above poverty, like a man who has a nice pair of shoes and a shiny car, but barely has enough money otherwise to make ends meet. You boast in the few nice things you have, because they are better than what your neighbors have. But you see, the rich do not boast in their richness to the poor; they hide their ego and boast in their inner circles and are quick to call themselves humble and good. This is not so with you, because you boast openly; as is typical of the poor citizen who has more than his neighbors.

You know what to do to be spared, but you put your trust in a book and your faith in an idol. So you make poor decision after poor decision, and you harm those citizens who have caused no harm, just because your book says so. You are persistently stubborn, and you are without excuse. You know that any salvation you have is in the might of your military and not in the might of your god. How many more times must humanity repeat this same bad behavior (that we must fight in the name of our god)? How many "godly" nations in the Middle East have been saved by Allah when the US sought to bomb them, or when someone was so upset with the injustices committed by big bullies that they strapped bombs to their own chest?

Iran, disarm yourselves and open the locks of your nuclear facilities in such a manner that Israel is no longer concerned. When Israel taunts you, do not respond with violence. Openly broadcast their injustices over every medium you possible can. Do not plan to attack any other nation. Put aside your Sharia laws, because they will cause bombs to fall on you. Treat your citizens the way you'd want them to treat you. Do not attack the people in the streets who have not caused harm. Let there be restorative justice for those who have been beaten and tortured by the revolutionary guard, and for those who have been convicted of crimes that have caused no harm. Finally, wait. Israel has become God's problem, so wait.

Iran's strength

Iran, you know that your strength is in your own might and in your own military capabilities. It is why you so easily boast your scientific achievements against the US rather than the god of Muhammad. You know full well that trusting Allah is a very bad idea. Like the Jews and the Christians, you know that faith in Allah belongs in the temple, and in the heart and in the home, but it does not belong in areas of strength and defense, nor in any areas where people's lives are on the line. Or do you boast that your military capabilities are the strength of Allah? Are you like the Christians, who believe that God is only as powerful as your biggest and fastest bullet, and is only as intelligent as your smartest physician? If that's the case, then you'll be proven wrong; but it would be better if you open your eyes and pay attention to what has been shown to you for generations upon generations. That your scriptures and commandments have been rejected, and your violence has been rejected, and your judgments have been rejected. Look at how God treated your ancestors. Do you think the US government and its military will treat you any differently? Do you think they will treat you any differently than the way you treat those you hate?

A peculiar word from above

It's spring here in Maryland, and the trees in the field behind my home are blooming. I was outside last night speaking with Christ, and I was discussing how police officers that are afraid will quickly pull the trigger, and that they are no different than the US government in that regard (who pull the trigger of its military and drops bombs). While I was discussing these things, a spacecraft glowing bright white flew upward behind the trees. It flew slowly, and I wasn't convinced at first that it was a spacecraft (flying behind the trees and all), but as it approached the border of the trees (right before it reached open sky), the spacecraft dimmed and went out of sight.

Something for me to think about.

You can't figure out your way to God. No sum of any actions will move God to show you kindness. Christ is the only way to God, and that is no matter of opinion. You can knock on the door, but Christ has to open it; the door isn't one that you can open yourself. (When I say 'Christ', I am not speaking about that Jesus, the god of the dead, who offers a pathetic and worthless form of 'salvation' after you body withers into a corpse if you follow sets of laws and commandments.)

Your high esteem of the Bible or Quran is of no regard to God, nor will your salvation come because you hold them of high esteem. Be honest with yourself, does God treat you any better than God treats anyone else? Who among your family or friends has God saved from death because they believe those violent scriptures are the word of God? I'm telling you, it is because you hold those violent scriptures with such high esteem that you perish.
