The stuff reality is made of: Life in the Afternoon - Part 8

Life in the Afternoon - much more than a story of soaring - and reflections of that on my life.

by P.K.Odendaal. 23 October 2011.

Part 8 - The Search begins

On having heard the testimony of a friend, who told me that God is working today as He worked two thousand years ago with signs and wonders, I had to do something. I would not allow myself to miss the opportunity or possibility of proving this if it was true, or rejecting it if it was false - and I would do it the scientific way, because my training was strictly scientific and technical, and I knew how to prove or disprove a scientific hypothesis.

This is the hypothesis - which I think is a simple one to understand :

1. If God is real and all-knowing, then He would have known in advance (before the birth of Christ) what would happen in the New Testament.

2. If, what is written in the New Testament, had been prophesied in the Old Testament, and the Old Testament had been written before the birth and crucifixion of Christ, then there must be a God who knew all these things beforehand and told us about them, and then the Old Testament and the New Testament would be true and then Jesus Christ was for real.

I set this hypothesis before God and made a compact with Him on the following lines : If I can prove this hypothesis true, then I would serve You.

That is it - short and sweet. It is the scientific way.

Any hypothesis can normally be proven on a 95% confidence level - that is - nineteen cases complying with the hypothesis and one case not complying with it. I realized that it presented five percent doubt, which I was not satisfied with, being the sceptic that I am, because Mr. Doubt is known to be a very elusive and pervasive enemy to beat. I wanted to downsize him to one percent - a figure I could easily live with.

So I set out to study the scriptures, old parchments and scrolls, history and everything else I could think of, or lay may hands on.

My main effort was directed at taking all the prophecies in the Old Testament that could refer to Jesus Christ, study them, and compare them with the history of the New Testament.

I am not going into everyone here, but I append a list of ninety nine of these at the end of this Part for your self study. I think there might be more than one thousand, if one really wants to make an in depth study, but as I said, I was happy with ninety nine.

The end of the story is that I found over a hundred prophecies in the Old Testament which were fulfilled in the New Testament - almost to the jot and tittle, and I could not find one contradicting the Old Testament, and by a process called induction, I have scientifically proved it as being true on a confidence level far in excess of 99%.

The next step was to proof the authenticity of the Old Testament as being older than the birth of Christ - containing the same text as today's version, without having been tampered with.

This proof I found in the Dead Sea Scrolls, where they found, for instance, a scroll of the book of Isaiah in 1948, as we have it today, and have dated that to at least 500 BC. I was further astounded to learn that it was almost word for word as we have it today. As most of the prophecies of Jesus Christ comes from Isaiah, it was vital for me to establish that.

What was even more stunning, was that I found in the Old Testament detail which was not in the New Testament.

There is a lot of speculation that the shroud of Jesus Christ (in the film 'The Shroud') still exists today and that they have found it and that they have tested for and found blood on it which could be that of Jesus Christ - no doubt to make some money from religion as many people try to. Had they but spent some time in Isaiah 9, they would have learned that the garment was burned, and would not have dished up that hogwash for us. This is not stated in the NT - only in the OT. Isa 9:5 For every battle of the warrior is with confused noise, and garments rolled in blood; but this shall be with burning and fuel of fire.

There is also no further information in the NT on what happened to the family of Judas Iscariot, whilst in Psalm 109:13 it says that his children became vagabonds and beggars, his posterior was cut off, and in the next generation their names were blotted out.

Further, in the New Testament, Jesus Christ says that he was created before the creation, but does not elaborate on it, whilst we can read in Proverbs 8 how he was present during creation and in verse 31 how He played with the sons of men on the habitable part of the earth.

There are many more, but the point I wish to make is that when I want to see more detail of what happened in the New Testament, I go to the prophecies of the Old Testament which are sometimes more elaborate and accurate. Indeed an added bonus to my search, and a lifelong inspiration confirming the authenticity of the Bible.

This whole process took me about six months to a year of fervent study, and at the end of it, I told God that I was now ready to serve Him - as per our compact.

There was however an aspect which I regarded as being an important part of this Compact, and that was dedication and submission. I felt that if I was to serve God, it would be essential that I would be doing it with total dedication, and that I would surrender all I am, I own, I know, I do and I think. It had to be total submission - not the type people tell you when they ask you for a donation.

One of the obstacles was my fear of being sent to faraway places like Indonesia to become a missionary. Although I knew that it was not very likely, I had to prepare myself for this or any other eventuality, to say without any doubt - Yes, I do. But, after some serious thought and meditation, I was ready for even that.

And this I did in the first half of 1977.

One evening when we sang the last song, 'I surrender all', in a Baptist Church, there was an altar call, and I think I was the first to take it up. As I hurried down the aisle, I looked back and saw my wife following me at speed.

I was naïve enough to think that a willful simple decision was enough to accomplish all this, and I did not know that the battle would only now start in all its intensity - and may I say splendour, because, with a Field Marshall like Jesus Christ, the victories and fights were splendid indeed.

Only now I realize that it was indeed a battle between God and Satan for the possession of my soul, and that it was being waged on the battlefield of my flesh, mind, soul and spirit - it would be Total War. The war was basically a war against myself. Although in my spirit I had made a total surrender, there were many parts of me who were ready to betray me and even fight against me. There was my subconscious mind who would collude with the enemy, my flesh who would resist control by my mind, and then there were the normal enemies named Mr. Doubt, Mr. Morality, Mr. Legality, Mr. Self-Reproach, Mr. Accusation and the Giant called Despair. I will introduce you later to some of these gentlemen; or is it scoundrels?

Even today I fight against these gentlemen, who do not want to toe the line, as I struggle to keep my ducks in a row, but it has become much easier than those early conflicts.

At this stage I wish to refer you to the different phases of the Holy Battle. First there was the battle for the saving of the lost souls of the world (at Calvary), then there is the homecoming of all the detainees, prisoners-of-war and vanquished - an event now happening - and then finally it will be a war with Satan (Pharaoh) to let God's people go, after God has poured out the new Ten Plaques (Seven seals and three Woes) onto this Earth.

The first mentioned battle is over - Christ has Risen - Hallelujah!!! The first part of this beautiful gospel song explains it :

There's a line that's been drawn through the ages,

On that line stands an old rugged cross;

On that cross a battle is raging,

For the gain of man's soul or his loss.

The earth shakes with the force of the conflict,

And the sun refuses to shine;

For there hangs God's Son in the balance,

And then through the darkness he cries:

"It is finished!" The battle is over,

It is finished! There will be no more war;

It is finished! The end of the conflict,

It is finished! And Jesus is Lord.

The homecoming of the detainees has not been completed - each of us must return to our Home - which is in Jesus Christ. It can be likened to the following story of people in the Second World war, who did not know that the War was over :

During the Second World War, some of the Japanese who fought in the Pacific Ocean Islands, did not hear the GOOD NEWS (Gospel) that the War was over. They hid in caves where nobody could find them. Some of them stayed in these caves for over twenty-five years, and the event of the last soldiers who handed themselves over, was recorded in 1970. This is what is happening now in the Christian World. The Battle is over, but we need to hand ourselves over to the victor, Jesus Christ. This part of the gospel song tells us how :

Still in my heart the battle was raging,

Not all prisoners of war have come home;

There were battlefields of my own making,

I did not know that the war has been won.

Then I heard that the King of the Ages,

Had fought all the battles for me;

And that victory was mine for the claiming,

And now praise His name I am free.

The last battle with Satan (still to come in the form of the Great Tribulation and Armageddon) is about releasing God's children and His nation from the earth - a planet belonging to Satan now, having swindled its dominion from Adam and Eve six millennia ago. There will not be a war about the dominion of the earth - God will not take what was 'rightfully' swindled. That is the reason God will not fight for it - He will just give it its due penalty for the unrighteousness of the millennia and the killing of the martyrs and the spilling of the blood of righteous people - including the Blood of Jesus Christ.

Quo Vadis?

When I entered this fray, quite a few things started to happen.

Firstly, I decided that the Church I was nominally a member of, might not be the one I should serve God in, although I felt that I had an obligation to go back to that Church to tell them the truth about the gospel - that there was a personal God whom one could talk to.

I also started on a tour of all Churches that I could find, to find out what they taught. It was Baptist, Methodist, Pentecostal, Protestant, Pentecostal Protestant Full Gospel, Apostolic Faith Mission and many others I cannot even remember anymore.

But, the devil does not sleep when these things happen.

First thing I know, I get elected as a deacon in the DRC Church, having gained some esteem in it, due to my sporadic visits and maybe partially due to the fact that the Dominee was related to my mother. What now? Shall I agree to appointment and live the lie? I decided that the best would be to go and see him.

What he said, was basically that I could not go on the leading and teaching of the Holy Spirit, as God would not favour me above other Christians (in his Church), by giving me revelations and teachings that were not in Scripture and which they could therefore not get. If that was so, then God would be partisan to me, a thing his Church taught would be wrong of God to do. The second thing he wanted me to realise, was that God was love, and that it would not take something of me, like serving Him, to influence God in His love or favour to me. I was like any other Christian, dependent on the Church and its officers, to guide me to God, incidentally, a thing that Church was unable to do for me in thirty years - or to any of my friends and family for more years than that.

The second incident was not by my own instigation, as it coincided with the monthly begging session of my deacon, who asked me for my monthly contribution for a purpose I would never know. So he walked into the lion's den, and I asked him some pertinent questions about Scripture. He pleaded ignorant and promised to bring the Elder along next time.

It so happened that the Elder knew even less than he did. When I asked him to please explain certain verses in the Bible to me, he replied that he was not prepared to talk to me on the basis of Bible verses, and that he was only prepared to talk to me on the basis of the 'Twenty Articles' which were printed at the back of our Church Song Book. It then also transpired that he did not really know what they actually meant, but that he was adamant that those 'Twenty Articles' was to be the basis of my faith - and his.

The 'Twenty Articles' he referred to, was a summary of the creed of the 'First Ecumenical Council of the Catholic Church' held in Nicaea in the year 325 AD. It baffled me that our Church, which at that time regarded the Pope as Antichrist, was so forward and happy to use his 'Twenty Articles' and refused to use the Bible.

The third thing which happened in quick succession, was that three of us who had by now discovered the truth, went to Bible study of that Church one Wednesday evening - a study on the topic of the Baptism. Needless to say, the whole Bible study class broke out in chaos, argument and physical threats, before even five minutes had passed. I think it was the shortest Bible study class I ever attended.

It became clear to me then, that it was time to move on - but where to? I grew up in a typical Boere house, where our DRC Church, our Volkskas Bank and our National Political Party reigned supreme and was the emblems of our identity. It would be a difficult decision for me to break with that culture and identity, even when none of them had ever been of any value to me or my family and friends for as long as I can remember. It was rather becoming an unbearable pack on my shoulders - much like my sin. It was however not too difficult to break with them, as in a previous process I had to break with the identity of my family, to become an engineer instead of a farmer.

And then the fourth thing happened. Five of us started meeting weekly in our house, to sing and pray, and to seek God's direction in our lives, to join a Church group where we might serve Him in Spirit and in Truth, as Scripture says. It was normal for us to pray in turn for hours on end.

But it was not all Sunday School stuff .... there were more exciting spiritual experiences, of which talking to God, or at least listening to Him, were the main events which I looked forward to. I desperately wanted to strike up a conversation with God, after decades of only listening to what people imagined He might be and He might like and He might say - an event everybody thought was highly unlikely.

But then I tried it ...

After I surrendered all, I got the notion that I might start to pay my tithes, not the salvation tip I gave the deacon monthly - so I asked my friend where I should give this tithe, to which he replied : 'Ask God'.

That evening after I prayed, I asked God where I should give my tithe, and the words 'Anderson Street' came into my mind. I thought that I would, on my next trip to Johannesburg, walk down Anderson street, which I knew existed there, and see whether there is not a religious type of organization operating from somewhere in Anderson street. Yes, I was adamant on finding it, even if I had to walk the whole street of a few kilometers. I also told my friend of this name I got.

A few weeks later, we visited the Baptist Church in Pretoria again. Just after we sat down for the service, my friend said that he noticed when we arrived here at the Church today, that it was situated in Anderson street - a fact we did not know beforehand. Well ... that leap of faith and injection of inspiration, realizing that I could hear God talking, set me off at a tangent. I did this exercise for over a year, and each time I got a name and each time it turned out a blessing for all of us in the prayer group. This experience later turned into many other incidents, and today I am used to His voice.

You may read my testimony on striking up a conversation with God here (it is written in three parts):

Soon after this a very interesting incident happened.

I was a dreamer since my youth, and always knew that it meant nothing, being brought on, as my parents and friends used to say, by having had too much meat for dinner. But I was a hostel hog and we never had any meat for dinner.

Soon after my conversion I had a dream. I dreamed that my electronic watch - the old ones that one had to press a button to see the digital time - was not working. The next morning, sure as daylight, my watch stopped working. I went to the shop and had a new battery fitted, and there it was working again.

The next night I had exactly the same dream again. I thought by myself, this cannot be, because I now have a new battery. The next morning - sure as daylight - my watch broke down again, this time permanently. I immediately knew that God wanted to talk to me in dreams and visions.

So I said to myself : Everything I hear from God by way of dreams and visions, I need to attend to properly. I am going to take a book and every morning, just after I wake up, I am going to write these dreams and visions in a book, and see what happens, so that I might start to understand them. This I did for many years and in many books, and I learned a lot. My success rate with the interpretation of my dreams went up slowly from zero to 50% within the first five years. So much so, that I started to navigate my life and decisions according to what was being revealed to me. Today, after more than thirty years, my success rate has increased to more than 80%, and what is more, I have started to get daytime visions, and God has started to talk to me through myself. When I am awake, in an unguarded moment, I would say some strange thing unexpectedly, which does not make sense and is mostly unthinkable, and then suddenly I would wonder how I could say that, until I realised what was going on. These lines that I repeated subconsciously was the last thing on my mind. Even during the night when I was asleep, I would wake up and find God talking to me through me loudly. My wife, who mostly heard this, would then tell me what I said. We had been saved from ruin many times because of these warnings which became urgent and serious at times.

There were also some disturbing aspects, which I did not know how to deal with - and one of them was Divine Healing. Since my conversion I knew Divine Healing was a reality, because God could do anything, and He did it in the Old and New Testament, and I suddenly heard many testimonies of people who were healed.

I attended some healing ministries by evangelists and other believers, and then tried my luck at it. What I experienced shattered my faith to no small degree - everybody, without exception, whom I prayed for, just got more ill, and some even died - I do not hope, only, from hearing my prayer! The reality of healing coupled with faith and the confession of sin, was the last thing I could know of at that stage.

God would revisit this in my life decades later - He just could not leave me with this unpleasant experience forever.

The second disturbing thing which I experienced, was that if I did not 'grow in the spirit' every day, I started to fall back to my life of sin and shame. Much like the down moving side of an escalator in a shopping centre. I was climbing with my physical strength, towards the top, on an escalator which was going down. I had to climb faster upwards, than the escalator was going downwards. This called for a very strenuous exertion on my part - but I was prepared for anything. The Bible says : Pro 27:7 The full soul loatheth an honeycomb; but to the hungry soul every bitter thing is sweet.

I knew I was on a very long road of discovery - of God - and of myself - and I looked forward to this journey with anticipation and exhilaration. Little did I know that it would not be moonlight and roses for many years, but in the end the effort paid off.

Next time - Part 9 - Free Will and defeating Mr. Legality.
