Yesterday, i wondered if there were any other entities using fish-in-the-cloud mark, and searched in Google for it. ShutterStock was selling this logo similar to mine.
Then we (Anna and i) decided to protect our mark, which had a deep meaning.
Today, i was in the middle of this work of filing for protection of the adjoining mark through a Service-Mark application at the United States Patents and Trademarks office.
Also kept ready the specimen below as well that was first used as early as January 17, 1995.
Then i received from Anna (my wife), who was at work in her office, a video clip on WhatsApp, suggesting to me in her spirit to pray. So went into quick prayer as usual on my knees, inquiring of the Lord as to what His will is regarding this application. Took my NASB Life Application Study Bible, instead of the box of Promises.
The Lord said through Matthew 14:16 —
“They do not need to go away [into eternal damnation]; you give them something to eat!”
and pointed me to the TWO FISH that the lad had brought and gave to Jesus (John 6:4-13).
Just as the Father provided for Abraham a Ram, representative of Yeshua, instead of Isaac/Ishmael, for sacrifice, the TWO FISH–
- one from ABOVE, by virtue of being Son of Virgin, attested by both Bible & Quran; and
- another from BELOW, by virtue of being born again and transformed into His likeness (Jn3:3-5; Matt18:3; 2Cor3:18)
are to be offered as “amruth” PRESENTS to mankind for “eating” (Jn6:53-58; 1Cor11:23-34) to live eternally.
BTW, not finding his dish, gave Sparky, our dog, a bit of cream, which surfaced to the top of my usual cup of tea, on this Amruth Foods advertisement, which happened to be lying on the floor, that came with the daily news paper (Deccan Chronicle) a couple of days ago.
Now, fear of death had left me a couple of weeks ago itself and i was feeling quite safe for any eventuality. So i psychologically began to prepare myself to be a [faithful] witness.
Then immediately upon sitting at my desk, was notified of this post by Brother Venu Gopal on Facebook:
Then went headlong to file the service mark at the USPTO. Answered all the questions to the best of my knowledge, indicating ownership of the above mark.
Then, for confirmation, went to the Father for a Promise from the box and got:
Therefore, sought guidance and went to the Lord Jesus Christ in Matthew of my NASB Life Application Bible and the verses that i flipped to and my eyes saw, read:
“Are You the Expected One, or shall we look for someone else?” Jesus answered and said to them, “Go and report to John what you hear and see: the BLIND RECEIVE SIGHT and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the POOR HAVE THE GOSPEL PREACHED TO THEM.”
For a minute i gave myself the above credit. And went headlong again to complete the application process. When it came to almost the end to submit payment…
i hesitated and acknowledged that at face-value:
- The spiritually blind don’t see;
- The spiritually lame do not walk;
- The spiritually unclean are not cleansed;
- The spiritually deaf do not hear;
- The spiritually dead are not raised up; and
- not even the poor seem to have the Gospel preached to them.
So i thought it wise (Matt11:19) to abort the application process until further confirmation.
