• God told me to "Quit your job."

  

  October 11, 2011 is the date that this entry was written.

  I had debated whether I should be writing this entry or not, given that in the past few weeks, God had been talking to me clearly and without dispute.  My wife of about seven months also knows that God told me to quit my job and to move on with what He has planned for me.  It is understandable that some of you who also call yourselves Christian will not believe that God speaks to me and will challenge me to tell you where in the Bible does it say for a Christian to quit his or her job.  I have no interest in hearing these types of comments from" Christians" and furthermore, I will consider them all from Satan.  It is Satan's job to discourage me from doing God's work, not your job - so don't make it easier for the Kingdom of darkness.  Christians should be living in the Kingdom of light and should be encouraging one another to do what God has called one to do.

  God has called me to quit my job effective November 11, 2011 and move onto a new endeavor.  I had spoken to my supervisor and provided them with one month's notice, well above the 2 weeks required.  This is not only a generous thing to do, but the godly thing to do - when I know for certain that I will no longer be there, I should tell them, even if I intend to quit a month afterwards.  Yes, I owe nothing to them beyond the 2 weeks, but it is my love, testimony, and faith in Christ that compels me to communicate lovingly and considerately.

  Last year, a prophecy was given to me.  The person told me that she felt God will bring a job to me and that when it comes, I should take it because it is indeed from the Lord.  She emphasized that it will come - there is no need to learn anything new.  In trying to understand the word, I asked her - "So, God is going to give me a job in this economy."  She answered me, He is God and anything can happened because of Him.  I knew that this was true because He personally told me about a week before (maybe two or three weeks before) directly that He was going to give me a job and I will have to worker harder than I am now.  I needed to figure out when, so a few months later, I asked another person if God has something for me.  I prayed that He guides me further.  The person told me that He will provide a job to me, but I should be careful because she saw me with a hard hat in a construction site.  A few months ago, God told me that the end of my journey at this job is November 11, 2011.

  In the beginning of October, my friend called me about a business venture.  My friend told me that she planned to open on November 1, 2011 and asked me if I was interested.  Having the prophecies and the word of God, I answered "yes."  Although things did not work out with the original plans ("Plan A"), I held steadfast onto what God had told me and with encouragement from my wife, I continued to believe in God's word and direction for my life.  As time progressed, we decided to move forward with Plan B.  I had indeed went through the construction site in my journey to receive this job as prophecied to me by God.

  I did not search for a job (and continued in the job I had) because God told me He will bring it to me.  When this opportunity came to my door after one year of waiting, praying, and seeking His will with regards to what I should do with my education, I knew that it was Him because He told me directly beforehand Himself (God speaks to me personally), He told beforehand through those gifted in prophecy (confirmed it through people who did not know me or know what He told me), and it happened as prophecied with the drawbacks and construction (confirmed it through the prophecy coming to pass).  He even told my wife that "quitting" was coming soon last month (another confirmation because He drew my wife into the process).

  It is exciting.  It is living by faith in Christ.  It is risky, but God is with me and I will learn a lot more about relying on Him, loving Him, knowing His providence, and learning more about Who He is.  Indeed, the righteous live by faith in Christ and Christ alone!

  October 30, 2011 is the date that this update was written.

  I recently got a random gift through a drawing and the person I just met who gave the gift was born on November 11.  I take this definite confirmation from God that November 11, 2011 is indeed the end date.  While some of you may chalk this off as coincidence, I will not and cannot do so.  God clearly spoke to me a year before this happened, confirmed it through others, confirmed it through my wife, confirmed it through my circumstances and situation, He told me the exact date, and He confirmed through a string of events under His divine hand.
