The Holy Spirit

Is Rebuking The World

Against Noise Making

The Man Who Saw God Face To Face

The Testimonies Of Raphael Okechukwu Nweze

Majority Are Not Ready For Rapture

It is indeed very disappointing that people are not yet ready for rapture. The worst is that they are not even making necessary efforts. Instead, they are busy everyday boasting that their respective man-made religion is the best. And many religious leaders are busy deceiving themselves and misleading ignorant masses to hell fire.

How can the religions claim each to be the best, when their teachings are different? And even contradictory (one against the other)? If they had known the Truth, they would be teaching and practicing the same thing.

Whoever relies on a blind man, deceives himself. That was why Jesus said, “Let them alone: they are blind leaders of the blind. If the blind lead the blind, both shall full into a pit.” Matthew 15:14 What is more? Whoever that follows a blind man, makes himself a blind fellow.

And You Keep Quiet

Jesus warned His followers to keep away from the ways of the world. Instead of doing just that, people are everyday pursuing the things of the world. Evil films and demonic videos are multiplying because you are patronizing them. And many famous actors have burning chains already waiting for them in the chambers of hell fire. The same is true of comedians, MCs and performers. My words are the fiery warnings from the Almighty.

Everyday, you hear all kinds of noisy vibrations, booming sounds and bombarding music. And you keep quiet? Because you do not know that evil spirits use noise to push and pull people into the hell fire. Even noisy worship are not acceptable in heaven.

Words Of Wisdom

Man has developed all things, but failed to develop himself. He boasts of Computer Science, Physical Science, Chemical Science, Social Science, Political Science, etc, but has neglected the most important one, which is Spiritual Science.

That is why I say “Every minister of God, who is not trained in Spiritual Science, is like a thief stealing from the vineyard of God. And all the souls stolen by them end up in the hell fire”.

The Current Situation

The situation has become so bad and terrible that the “always silent” Holy Spirit has to speak. “People make so much noise, daily, as if they do not know that I dwell in the silence,” says the Holy Spirit.

Introduction

The voice of spirit, called the Silent Voice, the Voice of Silence or the Soundless Sound, speaks to us as clear as the sound of a temple bell, often not to our physical ears but to our inner consciousness. It is usually a voice of beauty, resonant, full of power, full of life and full of harmony.

The Current Situation

From day to day, people feed themselves with all kinds of noise. The vehicles not only pollute the air, but also disorganize spiritual peace and harmony with their engine sounds, which reverberates to our discomfort. The music shops worsen the situation with their loud speakers, booming sounds and bombarding music as if the worst noisemaker attracts the highest number of customers. The business advertisers and event promoters worsen the inconveniences with their generators and loud speakers mounted on buses and played so loud as to attract the attention of people, even to wake up the sleeping buyer.

As I am writing this text, about three music shops are bombarding the environment with their loud speakers. None mellows down because the other is already very high. What surprises me is that all these noise are happening in the vicinity of (very near) a large building accommodating both library and court. Apart from this, many learned men have their offices around and yet none of them cares to caution the noisemakers. The library staff keeps silent and quiet everyday as noisy music keep on distracting students who are reading in the library. From day to day, an officer from the court would go round to caution music shops to mellow down. Even the mighty and feared court is now so insignificant that it cannot issue 'once and for all' warning to the music shops, for the last time. How spiritually weak and defeated people are nowadays.

Noise causes a chain reaction, which results in tension, hypertension, anxiety, worry, disharmony, distractions, lack of peace and absence of silence. All the bad effects 'push and pull' multitudes down the spiritual ladder, without people knowing what is happening.

Be wise and moderate

in every engagement.

Sound is a powerful thing. It can add value to one's thoughts. A good music can stir one and lift one up spiritually. Surely, this is a most desirable attainment in our everyday life. However, the real problem is that majority of mankind are listening to sounds and music that debase (destroy) their spirituality. And youths dance to these devilish sounds like the demons in the hell fire. Indeed, many are following the broad and easy way to the hell fire.

Why are the young people trying to drive themselves crazy with discordant sounds and music, which are noisy to the senses, booming to the ears and bombarding to spirit. Today's music seems to be composed to bring out all the worst in the youths. And that is exactly what the sounds and music do - drive them to drug addiction, drive them to sexual immorality and make them disrespectful. People subjected to the wrong sound and music turn round, later, to vent their venom on the society that produced them.

The world should know that all the discordant sounds and music played in the society shall one day manifest as wars, revolutions, hatred, man's inhumanity to man and disturbances all over the world. Everybody must avoid sounds and music that are noisy, screaming, ranting, agitating and rowdy, because they lead to an orgy of destruction and savagery. Every society reaps whatever it plants in the hearts and minds of its members.

As well, there should be censorship of the video industry, which are everyday pouring all kinds of evil films and video into the society. It is really quite amazing that both religious members and government officials see these things and keep silent. How can we expect well-trained and educated future leaders when the youths and children are everyday fed with all kinds of atrocities (evils)? A baby boy who does not know how to wash his dress is already able to pull the trigger. And the parents are quick to provide the toy guns. The very activities that make us prosper in spirit are neglected everyday to our own general detriment.

Most of the sounds and music being blast into the environment are noisy, sexy, funky and irrational. Being discordant, they inspire and awaken all kinds of evil in the hearts and mind of people. That is what Jesus called the broad and easy way.

All in the name of civilization, modernity and luxury, we leave in an unseen maze (confusion) formed by a network of all types of vibrations. Even the drivers would add the most booming sounds and bombarding music to the already loud and discomforting vibrations of the engine of their vehicles. The situation has become so bad and terrible that the always-silent Holy Spirit has to speak. “People make so much noise, daily, as if they do not know that I dwell in the silence,” says the Holy Spirit.

This statement of rebuke means the following:

1. The Holy Spirit dwells in silence, quietness and in peace.

2. People know that silence is the abode of the God.

3. Yet, out of carelessness, disrespect and ignorance, people compete with one another in noise making.

4. Noise is dangerous to spiritual life, detrimental to spiritual growth and a nuisance to public health.

5. Noisy vibration is a characteristic of hell fire.

6. Humanity must return to silence, quietness, if they want to attain heaven.

7. Noise is madness; even, it is uncontrolled disaster.

Whoever that wants to attain the kingdom of heaven, must cultivate a silent habit and gentle disposition. All the more, because Heaven begins with peace of mind.

By generating loud and noisy sounds, music players worsen the health conditions of the adults who cannot withstand hot music. Besides, those suffering from hypertension, heart attack, stroke, headache, discomfort, illnesses, aches and pains have their problems worsened (multiplied) instead of being ameliorated (eased).

Among the worst noisemakers are the following:

1. The police and drivers, who play siren even at night when the roads are completely free of traffic.

2. Motor manufacturing company, who produce noise-making engines. All should introduce silencer, like in the Siena car.

3. Microphone users, who use the microphone to disturb the neighborhood, instead of mellowing down the microphones to the venue of the occasions.

4. Sounds and music shops, who blast all kinds of music into the environments.

5. Drivers, who play high and noisy music, despite the already noisy vibrations of the engines.

6. Marketers, advertisers and promoters, who move about in the bus with loudspeakers.

7. Horn-makers, who make the horns to be far-reaching, instead of being enough to warn the people in vicinity (nearby).

8. Drivers and police, who allow loud and noisy horns in the small vehicles. Imagine a small car with the horn for a heavy duty truck.

9. Children, who make sporadic (incessant) noise by shouting, shrieking and running about.

10. Believers, who shout their prayers as if God is deaf.

Your silent prayers and thoughts sound

like thunder and lightening before the throne of God.

11.The most disappointing set are the reverend ministers who should know better. Always disturbing the quiet night and early morning hours with loudspeakers, even when very few people are in attendance of their religious programmes.

12. Funeral and condolence visitors, who play noisy music as if that is the visa that makes the dead enter the gate of heaven.

13. Handset users, who play music with their handsets in public places and offices, as if that is a mark of honor and prestige, and without respect and consideration of others present.

14. The talkative, who never allow their souls to rest, but also heat up the environment with their loud talks, which amount to nothingness and vulgarity.

15. The silent on-lookers, who keep quiet when they should complain and call noisy offenders to order.

16. Etc. etc. etc.

The everyday noise is a sign that people are deaf

to the voice of silence

and blind to the leading of the Holy Spirit.

Whatever God does, He does in silence.

Be sure to emulate this greatness.

Learn to be actively calm and calmly active.

“Be still and know that I am God,”

says the Almighty.

Silence is the abode of God.

And quietness, the gateway into His presence.

It is in silence that your can leave the body,

and visit heaven or other planets. Be wise!

Beware Of The Noise

Called Worship

It is only a foolish animal

that goes to the stream to drink,

and then muddles up the water for other animals.

It is alarming, the way churches hold noisy prayers and worship. What is even more disappointing is the fact that the reverend ministers, who suppose to enlighten people and encourage them to cultivate the silent disposition, are the very offenders in this matter.

Inside the church, the loud speakers are set to blaring heights, not minding the inconveniences to those living in the vicinity (nearby). The praying minister worsen the situation with his incessant shouts, even at night and in the early morning hours. The lead chorister adds his own disaster by shrieking, which he does in order to sound louder than the already noisy band. Sounds and music nowadays, seem to be a competition to win the first position as the worst noisemaker. Because of the one person being prayed for, the entire neighbourhood would not rest, would not have peace of mind, and would not sleep to gain enough strength for tomorrow's work.

Truly, people are spiritually dead, without knowing it. That is why they welcome all forms of indiscipline.

Today, most of the worship are nothing but 'the noisy bickering of mad multitudes'. And it is both regrettable that religious leaders are in the lead of this most devastating phenomenon.

The way an earthquake shatters a building

is the way noise destroys the spiritual life of people.

Already, many of the youths in some societies are losing their hearing ability due to poor genetic inheritance, worsened by careless and ignorant societies that welcome and promote noise of all kinds.

· Why should the reverend ministers forget God's word, “Be still and know that I am God.”? Psalm 46:10

· Why should they forget that silence is the abode of God?

· Why should you forget that great things happen in silence?

· Why should a music shop start bombarding the environment with band or noisy sounds even in the morning hours?

· Why can't people mellow down their music players and loudspeakers?

· Why should one car alone make so much noise, far more than the whole earth?

· Why should people keep quiet when things are going wrong?

· Why should the adults and leaders not speak out against noisy sounds and bombarding music?

Indeed, people claim to love God,

but deny Him by their everyday

actions and inactions.

It is terrible!

Observe the sands, the clouds, the winds, the light, all function silently.

“They are casting out demons,” someone would say. They should know that demons are spirits, which you cannot cast out with noise. In fact, to make noise is the character of the demons, for noise includes anything that disorganizes.

“Not by power nor by might, but by my spirit,” says the Lord. You cast out demons simply by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Why should reverend ministers broadcast their prayers for a single person to the ends of the earth? Using discordantly loud, booming and bombarding speakers? Disorganizing the peace, quietness and harmony of the environment? Whereas Jesus healed many without others knowing about it. Even, He would warn people not to mention about His good works, not to let the public know what happened. All must return to the path of silence, for that is the easy and simple way into the presence of God.

Already, I have made up my mind to stop attending any worship that is unnecessarily noisy and discordant.

The wise man must keep away from the path of the fool,

lest the fool trample on him as if he were a dirty rag.

Introduce Spiritual Science

All churches and schools should introduce Spiritual Science because majority of the humanity behave in ways that are senseless, irrelevant and repulsive to the Holy Spirit. Schools and churches that are not teaching Spiritual Science are just busy deceiving themselves and misleading the ignorant masses. Such churches are like going to the schools, where there are no teachers and where the students teach themselves just like a fool teaching the novices. Indeed, many are dead in spirit without knowing.

How can the reverend ministers including Reverend Fathers, Bishops, Cardinals and Pope; Reverend Teachers, Deacon, Bishops and Archbishop; Reverend Pastors, Superintendents, General Overseers and Founders; Imans, Gurus and etc - be teaching about God, without studying Spiritual Science? God is spirit, and nobody can teach about what he does not know. Moreover, those who are currently being led by the Holy Spirit are indeed too few.

A university graduate showed his result sheet to a mystic. The student had scored 'A' in every course, and graduated with First Class Honours. He was expecting commendations from the mystic. The mystic looked at the result and said, "You have mastered the frivolities, and neglected the most important thing."

"W..h..a..t..?..!" exclaimed the graduate with surprise.

"To the world, you are a master," added the mystic. "But in spirit, you are only a novice."

Silent Hours

The following are the naturally quiet times of the day. Do your best to avoid noise during these periods.

· The early morning hours (3.00am - 6:00am)

· The morning periods (6.00am - 11:00am)

· The evening periods (4:00pm - 6:00pm)

· The night hours (6:00pm - 11:00pm)

· The midnight silence

Avoid noisy vibrations and music,

even noisy gospel songs and prasies.

They destroy your spiritual growth.

God said, "You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain, for the LORD will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain.” Exodus 20:7

How come that today many people take the name of God in vain. Such people include comedians, MCs, performers and the talkative. The public see and hear all these vain talks and keep quiet. Usually, people invite and honour the actors, comedians and performers, and even pay them for using the names of God in vain (in their funny but 'careless and useless' entertainments).

THE USE OF SILENCE

EVERYDAY LIFE

Meaning Of Silence

Silence means a quiet environment, wherein the mind, is free to think positively. It does not mean idling away one's time by being inactive. Silence is the Nature's incubator, wherein greats design themselves, and when they are fully formed, they manifest and hold sway. It is in silence that one is able to stay still and think, and thought is the key to accomplishments.

Advantages Of Silence

There are several benefits of silence. Some of them are stated below:

1. The use of silent period is “everywhere” practiced by the wise and successful. The scientist isolates himself for experiment. The businessman confines himself in his bedroom to plan how to succeed. The creative artist stays alone to think, practise and improve. Some people observe their silent hour inside their study room. Others have special rooms built by them for that purpose. Some others do so in the woods, while some observe theirs early in the morning or late at night. The author studied the life of the best students of a school. He discovered that they are usually quiet in their classrooms.

2. In silence, there is no noise or distractions. We are then able to relax, and submit ourselves to God.

3. In silence, we perceive the universal harmony. Thereby, inductively, we achieve peace of mind, a state so free and pleasant.

4. In silence, our energy is replenished; our health, nourished; our breath, full; and our thinking, clear.

5. A silent mouth conserves the spiritual energy of man. A loose mouth wastes this energy and leaves the body wretched. The efficiency of spoken word is very much dependent on timeliness and relevance; let us learn to talk less and love more.

6. Action speaks louder than words; but silence is better than both.

7. There is a distant voice: a seemingly imperceptible voice. It is the voice of silence, the silent voice, called the still small voice. It is the voice of inspiration. It is best perceived and understood by those who are accustomed to silence.

8. The best students in a class are usually among the silent few. Whereas, the poor students are usually among the playful and talkative majority.

9. Useless charter and gossip cause many social discords. Silence prevents all the discomfort and emotional upset.

10. It is in silence that we enter God's presence. “Be still, and know that I am God.” When you become used to quietness, God begins to manifest Himself to you. You suddenly discover that the gate of heaven has always been open. It is humanity that have refused to enter, out of spiritual blindness (ignorance).

11. As we know, silence is the best answer to a fool.

12. Great things happen in silence:

13. “An empty vessel makes the most noise.” Speech is silver; silence is golden.

14. Nature whispers to us, silently. The man who is used to silence can suddenly know, without being told, without being taught.

15. Jesus taught that people should enter their inner room when they pray. The inner room is not alone a private room. It is the heart and mind. In silence. A silent mouth, with a prayerful heart, means a soul in an inner and secret room.

How To Use Silent Hour (The Hour Of Meditation)

This is a peaceful period of solitude and meditation. It is time to think, formulate or improve ideas and plans by which we achieve success. It is time to withdraw from the noise, disturbances and activities of everyday life. It is the time when the human mind connects and communes best with the God Mind. Being in tune with the Infinite, we are then able to project our thoughts, desires, doubts, problems and concerns to God. He answers, surely and willingly.

The author has observed that each time he ends up his silent hour, whether thoughtfully or quietly, he usually have peace of mind and confidence. His body becomes revitalized and healthy. He may start it with a confused and disturbed mind. At the end, he has the peace of mind. Sometime, he may not be able to get immediately what he want from his silence and thoughtfulness. But, eventually, he discovers that he has ideas, solutions or promptings, which improve his performance. Likewise, Edward Gibson described silence as the school of geniuses.

True silent period is not the five minutes of silence and prayer observed in some schools. A normal silent period lasts for one hour or more.

Essentials To The Use Of Silence

They include:

1. Set Time - Have a set time when you stay alone and think. It may be daily or weekly. Some call this period “silent moment,” devotion, or simply meditation. The more it is observed, the better.

2. Free Times - The free periods at school, during office hours, in the public and at home, which are usually wasted in frivolous discussions, are excellent opportunities to observe silence.

3. Set place - A set place, away from noise enhances silence and creativity. Others have a separate room for study and silence. Some others stay in their private rooms or bedrooms. Others go to the woods, where there is safety and calmness.

4. Set purpose - It is the nature of set purposes to draw us to their fulfillment.

5. Solitude - Solitude enhances silence. It ensures peace of mind and rest for the body. It hedges out every form of distraction or disturbance. In solitude, you are not alone, because Nature is in full communion with you. Then, Nature whispers to you, silently. You find that you can suddenly know without being told. Everything will reveal it secrets (facts hidden in it) to you, if you are alone with it and thinking about. The reverse happens, if you do not pay attention to it. Great achievers were used to solitude during their life. A person may be silent, but within his mind he nurtures a plan which when implemented will be of great use to entire world. Solitude ensures receptivity - the ability to receive, recognize and use the promptings of inspirations.

Beware Of The Talkative

Introduction

Generally, the way people speak has changed, for the worse. Today, people readily talk in a harsh, hostile, aggressive or exaggerated manner. Many are quick to talk loud, swear or say vulgar worlds, without shame and without minding the consequences. Unknown to the world, the way people talk affects them and impact on the entire world. Usually, people use bad word or loud voices to show humour, insult and harassment or to express emotion like surprise, anger or frustration.

1.Always talking, even from morning until night.

2.Delights to gossip about others.

3.Always joking.

4.Engages in wild laughter.

5.Always complaining, nagging, blaming or cursing.

6.Always telling stories of past events or often repeating them.

6. Their stars (destinies, tables) are disorganized by evil spirits.

7. They are the agents of spiritual pollution, who scar away the heavenly Angels by their noisy talks, and spread evil potencies in all directions to both near and far places.

Root Causes Of Talking Too Much

Here are the root causes of talkativeness:

1. Demonic possession. By talking too much, the demons cause so many problems and distress.

2. High level of ego, which is a dangerous sense of selfishness, that is blinding and misleading to hell fire.

3. Pride and pomposity.

4. Very poor level of spiritual life, even if the person appears to be very religious.

5. Ignorance of spiritual realities of life. Many think that talkative and boisterous ones talk their way to success. But in reality, their talks scatter everyday efforts and gainful opportunities.

Bad And Harmful Effects Of Talking Too Much

The bad and harmful effects are:

1. The talkative are prone to more demonic possessions.

2. Subtle madness that is not easily noticeable. Watch the madmen. You will notice that they are often talkative, talking to an unseen person, demonstrating in an absent conversation, answering questions that has not been asked.

3. As they talk, they act like radio and television studio spreading black energies (evil potencies) and distressing signals into the environment.

4. They pollute the environment, causing distress to the souls of humanity. Even the comedians that claim to entertain the society are destroying the spiritual foundations and lives of people. All the stories are falsehood flavoured with sensation, the very thing Satan used to deceive people.

5. Spiritual downfall, which gets worse everyday.

6. Confused state of life, leading a disorganized life that is not worth living.

7. Much talk causes headache, stress and strain.

8. The talkative are already stepping into the hell fire without knowing it.

10. The talkative are prone to tell lies, give false information. They call this smartness, but it leads to hell fire.

11. They talk much and do little, because they love idleness salted with useless chatter, while the good ones talk less and do much. Examine every group with a lead talkative, and you will discover that they are poor, bad and lazy workers, who spend precious time telling irrelevant stories.

12. They are easily offended (mood swing).

13. They distract attention and hinder spiritual development.

14. The Angels abhor them, and the Holy Spirit keeps away from them.

15. They draw humanity away from God.

16. They mislead the world into illusion and worthlessness.

17. They generate and spread distress in the immediate and to the remote environments.

18. They demonize the souls of people, and as well attract evil and foul spirits into the lives of people.

19. They activate and promote the ego, which is a hindrance to spiritual growth.

20. They create a bad resonant effect by making people respond in a similar and bad way of speaking.

The best practice is to avoid

saying any bad or vulgar words.

Also, avoid swearing, because it is deadly.

Habitually

the talkative think that they are being smart.

They are only being destructive.
