OpenYourEyes1:
Why were the five foolish Virgins left behind?

Because they soiled their wedding garments and were unprepared. They didn't have enough of those things (like the Word of GOD) that will keep their light shinning incase JESUS didn't come when they expect. JESUS gives the light, and the light helps us to see in this world of darkness. You live in darkness if you lose the light.
If you have the light, you will live in holiness/righteousness, you'll know the truth and can see while the blind world can't.

So, they were unprepared, and their lights went out at the wrong time(when JESUS came back). Lacking in that Light means you live in the dark... They live in darkness when the light went out. Those who live in darkness will definitely soil their white garments, or better still, they will live in sin and become unrighteous, because they can't see.
They were rejected because they soil their white garments. They should have been fully prepared and living in constant holiness and righteousness in other to be worthy of Rapture.

Make sure to be fully prepared and living in constant holiness because our LORD can come when we least expect.

Who can give up worldliness to serve GOD ALMIGHTY? Only few!

"Few" will find life. So, be part of the few and get serious.
Obey the Word of GOD.

This is Powerful:
"Enter by the narrow gate ; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the
gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it" — Matthew 7:13-14

You could easily be bewitched if you are not careful.
A witch could be monitoring you constantly in whatever way possible, like with technology, through internet, spying on your physical location etc. He/she could be doing this in order to understand you, create isolated problems you can see to make their future lies more believable by you, use the information they have about you against you, take advantage of the information they aquire about you to brainwash you with repetitive lies, (or repeating lies mixed with truth)...

Talking about Repetitive Lies, witch could use that against you to make you start believing the lies, control your mind (mind control)etc. They gradually keep feeding you with lies and brainwash you... Before you realize it, you are already "acting" the information/lies they brainwash you with. This is one of the ways they currently control/manipulate the world and many people.

Be mindful of where you pick your information from. Be careful relying on worldly people/non-believers for information. Always make sure:
- the sources of the information are actually doing what pleases GOD,
- they are sent by GOD
- they are GOD's true servants, teachers, prophets, etc
- they are prophets/teachers that don't teach/prophecy things contrary to the Word of GOD, or things contrary to what JESUS/apostles/prophets taught, etc

If you notice, their prophesies, teachings, lies, their contradictory way of life, etc are being exposed today because people are being freed from their bondage... GOD is using HIS servants to open the eye of people, and HIS servants constantly war against the evil spirits that control this people and the evil spirits that keep people in bondage.

Mind where you are learning things from!

OpenYourEyes3:
Not possible... especially if they are really filled with the Holy Spirit or are Matured believers who constantly live in holiness.

They could however make little mistakes, but the mistakes will easily be recognized by them as mistakes when they are shown to them... They are not deliberate. But be aware that they would not be making mistakes all the time... Only very few times. So always go through every bit of the teachings and prophesies of those who teach & prophesize, and make sure they're word of GOD and true.



I am telling you this so that you can easily recognize wolves in your midst and don't get decieved.

OpenYourEyes1:
Our LORD JESUS says: "You can identify false prophets by their fruit"

Fruit of the Spirit of true teachers/prophets: Goodness , gentleness, faithfulness, self-control, love, joy, peace, patience , kindness, , (Galatians 5:22-23), truth, honesty and other GOD approved good behaviors you can think of. Whatever they do will be holy/righteous behaviors (they are of GOD)


— Fruits of false prophets/teachers

Hate, divisiveness, anger, hypocrisy, pride, false prophesies/teachings, lies, love for money/power/worldliness, selfishness, and other bad behaviors you can think of. They fake the holy/righteous behaviors. But you can occasionally/always detect the wrong things they do, say or approve... ungodly/bad things , or things that are not GOD approved (they are false prophets/teachers. They are not of GOD)

Stop Feeding yourself with lies, evil, false and worldly information or so called knowledge. It will kill you spiritually. Remember what happened in the garden? Adam and Eve died after "eating" from the bad tree. The tree of bad knowledge/information killed Adam and Eve spiritually.
Feed from the Tree of Life (the word of GOD) alone!

The more you feed yourself with The Word Of GOD, the more you Grow.

Avoid "staring" at evil. Focus the single eye on Godly things. Keep it single!

"And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out and cast it from you. It is better for you to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes, to be cast into hell fire." —Matthew 18:9

OpenYourEyes1:
Once you're repented, avoid those worldly things that kept you in bondage, focus on things that pleases GOD like reading/listening to your Bible always, believe in JESUS, living holy life (holy life is fun believe me), pray always, trust in GOD and watch yourself grow spiritually.

When you start living this life, alot of strange things will begin to happen in your life, like visions, flashes in your mind, supernatural movement of your hands/body, GOD speaking clearly to you. It's most likely GOD doing this (that is, if you are indeed holy)

Believing in JESUS also means believing in his teachings and "obeying" his Commandment.

I hope you know HIS commandments?

GOD's Commandments:
Love GOD and love your neighbor as you love yourself

OpenYourEyes1:
"Whoever does not love Me does not keep My words. The word that you hear is not My own, but it is from the Father who sent Me." — John 14:24

And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever"— John 14:15-16


If you truely love GOD you won't break HIS law.

^ This is a great Treasure.

OpenYourEyes1:
HE basically used the physical things of this world in the old testament to demonstrate, prepare or introduce us to their spiritual similarities in the New Testament. More like HE used analogy in old testament and reveal their spiritual meaning in the new testament.   And the spiritual similarities are much more effective than the physical ones.


— So why emphasize on physical war when it's spiritual war in New testment
— Why emphasize on yeast when it's sin/evil
— Why emphasize on physical circumcision when it's circumcision of the heart
— Why emphasize on water baptism when it's spiritual baptism
— Why emphasize on lamb or animal sacrifice when it's about sacrifice of JESUS and our personal sacrifices

He is not interested in making you rich. Don't be decieved. His intentions is to conquer, kill, steal and destroy.

HE is using lots of false prophets and teachers to convince christains for a united world (one world government). Do not be decieved by what you see in the open. It's truely happening. They are actively working to take full control.

Be contented with what you have. And beware of false teaching Apostle Paul warned about concerning "grace" of GOD. Grace does not give you license to sin. And you could go to hell if you go back to your sinful life after being saved. Avoid sin!

Link to the Audio Bible can be found here (Genesis — Revelation): https://www.nairaland.com/5457390/audio-bible-genesis-revelation

You should listen to one Audio Bible multi times a day.
What I usually do before Listening:
I drink lots of warm water, eat fruit/vegs, start Fasting, rest myself a bit, put on my earpiece, then go to a quite place and listen. I keep repeating the audio after listening to the whole.

Believe while listening. Never allow doubts to keep you blind while listening. Then watch what will keep happening to you as you believe & grow.

OpenYourEyes1:
If GOD's spirit really dwells in you, you will be doing good all the time because the SPIRIT drives you to do good, if you are not resisting...this is GOD's righteousness. A true Christian can't always be committing sin when GOD is in him/her, because GOD's righteousness makes him not to commit sin.

If you are not living a holy life as a Christian, you are decieving yourself.

A car driven by a "PERFECT DRIVER" won't be disobeying traffic rules, driving recklessly, having constant accidents etc. The car will drive perfectly because it is driven by a PERFECT DRIVER.

Repent, Accept JESUS CHRIST as your LORD and SAVIOR... HE will cleanse you of your sins, dwell in you and drive you perfectly!
How do you recognize cars driven by JESUS CHRIST? They will move perfectly on the way.
By their fruits you shall know them.

Hebrews 10:26:27(NIV)
"If we deliberately keep on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no sacrifice for sins is left, but only a fearful expectation of judgment and of raging fire that will consume the enemies of God." —


Hebrews 10:26-27 (KJV)
"For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries."

OpenYourEyes1:
If you claim to be born-again and keep sinning intentionally hoping to ask for forgiveness later, do you think HE will be pleased? Ofcourse not. That is misuse of GOD's grace and mercy in your life. Once you have identified what displeases GOD, you stop doing them. If HE sees that you are serious about stopping them, HE will help you stop them and wash you clean. 
For the unintentional sin, always ask for forgiveness whenever you pray or once you understand it is sin and displeases GOD. Don't Intentionally go back to the sin after being aware it's sin

Very deep, and also important for those who think they won't lose their salvation if they stop believing and start sinning.

Luke 8:4-15 (notice the bolded too?) ⏬

*And when a great multitude had gathered, and they had come to Him from every city, He spoke by a parable:

"A sower went out to sow his seed. And as he sowed, some fell by the wayside; and it was trampled down, and the birds of the air devoured it. Some fell on rock; and as soon as it sprang up, it withered away because it lacked moisture. And some fell among thorns, and the thorns sprang up with it and choked it.But others fell on good ground, sprang up, and yielded a crop a hundredfold.” When He had said these things He cried, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear!” Then His disciples asked Him, saying, “What does this parable mean?”And He said, “To you it has been given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God, but to the rest it is given in parables, that ‘Seeing they may not see, And hearing they may not understand.’“Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of GOD. Those by the wayside are the ones who hear; then the devil comes and takes away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved. But the ones on the rock are those who, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, who believe for a while and in time of temptation fall away. Now the ones that fell among thorns are those who, when they have heard, go out and are choked with cares, riches, and pleasures of life, and bring no fruit to maturity. But the ones that fell on the good ground are those who, having heard the word with a noble and good heart, keep it and bear fruit with patience.

Interesting Things about Godly Fasting & Vision In "Book of Acts" and others (2nd added)

Cornelius's
"So Cornelius said, “Four days ago I was fasting until this hour; and at the ninth hour I prayed in my house, and behold, a man stood before me in bright clothing,— Acts 10:30

Peter's
"But he became hungry and was desiring to eat; but while they were making preparations, he fell into a trance;" Acts 10:10


Added ⏬ (8/19/2020)

"As they ministered to the Lord and fasted, the Holy Spirit said, “Now separate to Me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.”—Acts 13:2


Added ⏬ (8/19/2020)

"In weariness and painfulness, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and unclothedness." —2 Corinthians 11:27

OpenYourEyes1:
The more I eat (esp bad foods) the less I hear, feel or see.

The less I eat (eating good foods mostly) the more I hear, feel or see

I fast (sometimes fruit fast) while reading/listening to the Word of GOD.

I feel healthier and stronger in the Spirit after fasting, praying and constantly reading/listening to the Word of GOD.
