Divine Calling and Rhema<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Calling Today<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

With Rhema from Matthew 8:28\u2014“When he came to the other side”<\/em>\u2014God is once again asking me to cross the globe and go to the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Primary Claim<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I submit that Jesus has chosen me to serve the world as Son of David.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Multiple Divine Callings Received<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

God has called me with all these titles through many Rhemas, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Christ Jesus<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Son of David<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Son of God<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Bar Abbas<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Lion+Lamb<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Capstone<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Chosen<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Lord<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Head<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Master<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Shepherd<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Jesus of Nazareth<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Suresh (Ruler of gods)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Emmanuel<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Bridegroom<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Son of Man<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Beloved<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Priest in the Order of Melchizedek<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Among other Callings<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    These Rhema Callings came from the Bible or from the pulpit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Eschatological Position: Christ’s Return to America<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

    Article Reference<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    In 2023 I posted an article titled “Christian Nationalism: Coming to America or on Mount of Olives”<\/em> in which I argued that Christ will come to the United States rather than to Israel on the Mount of Olives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Biblical Basis for This Position<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Hebrews 9:28 Interpretation: <\/strong>Jesus comes to those who are “eagerly waiting for Him” (the Church), not get “unequally yoked with unbelievers (Israelis)” (Rhema: 2 Cor 6:14).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The phrase “eagerly awaiting as a nation” is the present blessed state of the United States that surely goes beyond Heb 9:28. What greater awaiting is there than to corporately await as a nation! Surely, there is a reward for those who “love his appearing” (2 Tim 4:8)!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Fulfillment of Zechariah 14:4 and Acts 1:11-12: <\/strong>On May 26, 2000, which was also our Wedding Anniversary, we fulfilled Zech 14:4 and Acts 1:11-12.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The Nature of Christ’s Current Rule<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    It is too small a thing for the glorified Jesus to come and rule an earthly kingdom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    “It is better to lead from behind and to put others in front, especially when you celebrate victory when nice things occur. You take the front line when there is danger. Then people will appreciate your leadership.”<\/em> \u2014 Nelson Mandela<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Today “the Lord is the Holy Spirit” (2 Cor 3:17). With the Holy Spirit now living within us, Jesus leads from within\u2014from behind\u2014putting others in front.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    He appoints His Servants to take the lead. That is how Jesus would have it\u2014to rule from behind when it is time for celebration, as Nelson Mandela would put it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Theological Framework: The Corporate Christ<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

    The One Christ Today<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    The “One Christ” today is a corporate Christ with His Bride as His Body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Selection from Among the Anointed<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    From among these anointed ones\u2014His servants\u2014God chooses one and sets him “over His entire household” (Matthew 24:45-47).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The whole idea of having His children infilled by Himself is so that one fine day He can pick one from among them to serve as Son of David.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Biblical Basis: John 17<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    John 17 last verse teaches that the Father has the same love for us that he had for Jesus. Therefore, He can choose one among the anointed ones to serve as THE anointed one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Identity in Christ<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

    The Formula: Christ Lives in Me + My Old Self is Dead = I am Christ<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    All of Christ’s Goods are at my disposal. This is basic teaching of Christianity and what it means to be Christian (Gal 2:20).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Christ\/Messiah = Anointed One<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Jesus Himself likened Himself to the temple (Mt 24:1ff). And Christ\/Messiah = Anointed One. I too am anointed and also Called and Chosen by God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Jesus Living Within<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Jesus, the Father and the Holy Spirit live within me. When Jesus is living within us, there is bound to be an identity crisis about who we are. That is, every true child of God possesses\u2014what the unbelieving world calls\u2014a “messianic complex.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The Whole Point of “Christ-in-us”<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    The whole point of “Christ-in-us” is the hope of glory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Additional Filter Concept<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    As for John 14:6, I am a further filter of people, all of whom call themselves Christian. It is to separate “the sheep from the goats” or “the weeds from the wheat.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Addressing Concerns About Other Biblical Passages<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

    1 Timothy 2:5 and Hebrews 13:8<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    I am not denying 1 Tim 2:5 or Heb 13:8. They hold true with my claims as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    2 Corinthians 3:17-18<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Today the Lord is the Holy Spirit (2 Cor 3:18).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    “My Kingdom is not of this world” (John 18:36)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    When Jesus said to Pilot, \u201cMy kingdom is not of this world,\u201d he was saying, \u201cMy kingdom is not limited to the realm of the Roman empire.\u201d Now that the Gospel has reached the ends of the earth, it is now the realm of Christ’s kingdom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    John 6:63<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    The flesh doesn’t count (John 6:63). Therefore, Jesus can operate from out of one possessed by Him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Methodology: Validity of Rhema<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

    Rhema as a Foolproof Mechanism<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Getting the Rhema is a valid<\/em> way of hearing God speak. It is reliable because it is external to us and outside our control and not a figment of one’s own imagination. It is a foolproof mechanism of finding His will.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Counterpoint: <\/strong>The human mind selects and interprets what feels meaningful. Describing any human experience as “foolproof” places it beyond correction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Biblical Precedent: Jesus’ Own Experience<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Lord Jesus Christ Himself found His Calling through such an experience of Rhema as recorded in Luke 4:16-21.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Divine Purpose Through Rhema<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Apart from generally talking to us, God also uses the Rhema Word to earmark some of us for a divine purpose\u2014a Calling\u2014as He has done with the Lord Jesus Christ, and as He has done in my case as well, earmarking me to build the Third Temple<\/em> and serve as Son of David.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Testing Rhema<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    If a particular rhema is merely eisegesis, it is questionable. But mine are not. The Rhemas corroborate one another and the scriptures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Counterpoint: <\/strong>Confirmation bias can cause us to see corroboration where an outside observer would not. Internal coherence is not the same as truth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Additional Arguments<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

    Messianic Complex as Evidence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    The natural God-ordained phenomena of messianic complex among bipolar disorder people is clear indication that the real one too is among them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Counterpoint: <\/strong>The clinical recognition of a pattern of false beliefs does not validate any particular instance of that belief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Paul’s Progression<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Paul was on the road to it, saying “I have not arrived there yet, but I press on toward that goal” (Philippians 3:12-14).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Counterpoint: <\/strong>This passage concerns spiritual maturity and resurrection, not becoming Christ or assuming messianic titles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Self-Authentication<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Jesus too had no other person except the Father through Himself to testify about His messiahship. See John 8.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Counterpoint: <\/strong>Jesus’ self-authentication was accompanied by public miracles, resurrection witnessed by hundreds, and John the Baptist’s testimony. The claim to self-authenticate as Jesus did is itself a claim to be what Jesus was.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Confirmations from Servants of God<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    There have been hundreds of spirits of living Servants of God, whose spirit witnessed with my Spirit (Rom 8:16) and their messages from the pulpit confirmed my beliefs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The Chairman of a group of 2000 churches, on one particular occasion said to me, when I went for counselling to him, that his morning devotional was: “This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased,” which was the same testimony that Father God gave about the Lord Jesus Christ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    And I had another Pastor say that I am god. He added that I am not claiming to be Pope or Bishop but rather what the scriptures are saying to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Counterpoint: <\/strong>Preachers who unknowingly “confirm” these claims through sermons are not knowingly testifying. Tacit support is different from explicit affirmation by those who know the full claims.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Standard of Proof<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Courts use “beyond a reasonable doubt” (not “beyond all possible doubt”) as the legal standard of proof. A reasonable doubt is based on reason and common sense, not speculative or imaginary. The evidence of Rhema meets this threshold. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Counterpoint: <\/strong>Courtroom standards require external evidence examined by multiple parties and an impartial jury. The Rhema evidence is internal and self-interpreted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    On Demands for Proof<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    “A wicked and adulterous generation asks for a sign! But none will be given it except the sign of the prophet Jonah” (Mt 12:39). Asking for too much proof = wickedness. Rhemas = enough proof.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Truth loses its credibility when it caters to demands for more proof.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Counterpoint: <\/strong>The Bereans were praised for examining Paul’s teaching against Scripture (Acts 17:11). Testing spirits is commanded (1 John 4:1). Questioning is not inherently wicked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    On Scoffers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    “Many will scorn in the last days, saying, ‘where is His coming?'” (2 Peter 3:4). Let God be right and all else wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Longevity of Belief<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    The Truth has stood the test of time (since 1989).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Counterpoint: <\/strong>Longevity alone does not establish truth. People hold mistaken beliefs for decades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    On Miracles<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Public miracles are for persuading people to believe. They are not for today because majority of the world now believes. BTW, a Rhema is a major miracle of the God of the universe speaking to us and making His presence felt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Future Vindication<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    The tacit support and not a public one is for the purpose of moving forward with it, and when the time comes for the clouds to precipitate, it will rain cats and dogs. My books are published on Amazon for many years now for anyone interested to check them out. The flood is coming!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Mission Statement<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

    Building the Third Temple<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Through Rhema from 1 Chronicles 22:11\u2014which was the verse I received when finding the will of God to marry Anna, my wife\u2014God has earmarked me to build the Third Temple and serve as Son of David.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Current Status<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    So here I stand!
