I'm about to embark on an adventure like none I have ever been on. It is a journey that goes as far back as time itself, and will show glimpses well into the future. This journey will be filled with awe and wonder, adventures, insights, betrayal, tragedy, loss, hatred and above all, triumph. It will consist of mysteries written before civilizations, and wisdom that was present during the creation event itself; well before anything else was created. This journey will show the depths of the human heart, as well as the unrelenting pursuit of God's love and redemption for His creation. 
Join me as we explore what is written in the Bible; withholding our own biases, human intellect based on our opinions, and demonic inspired interpretations. God's Holy Spirit, as it is written, will be our gentle guide towards all Truths. I invite you to join me, no matter your identity, race, background, religious affiliations or non thereof; convictions, mental frame of mind, and any other identities you can think of. I promise to withhold my judgments, only provide unfiltered and unadulterated sentiments, that will always have their basis on the Bible. Your opinion, as well as your convictions are valid, and matter, as this is precisely how God created you - you are one of a kind.
After careful individual and following my convictions, a few years ago I decided to focus sorely on reading the Bible, from cover to cover; over and over again. This may seem trivial and boring to anyone who just about falls asleep every time the pages of the Bible are opened; but as I read, each day, sometimes one, sometimes several chapters, I started to find layer after layer of supernatural wisdom. I began to realize that I have only been focusing on what other people had said about God, but had never really dug in for myself, in order to understand it for myself - and this was to my own demise. I had followed other people's well intended routes towards discovering God, only to find out that in this world there is no shortage of opinions. There are opinions about what Bible versions are the official 'Holy Books', opinions on how to approach God, pray, conduct ones life, even how to be saved. Many clergy do not agree on fundamental principles that are clearly laid out, for anyone who can read or hear to perceive what is being conveyed - regardless of age, maturity levels, beliefs, etc etc. I believe God made it this way, as He knew how deep mankind's folly truly is.
The human heart is easily manipulated. We need to guard our hearts above all else, as our hearts set the course for our lives. If our hearts are not malleable towards what God's will is, then it can easily lead to people following their own wills; or even worse, being lied to by the enemy; who is always recruiting. The devil has remained silent, and in the background, causing all sorts of mayhem that we see in the natural world. It is said that, 'The greatest trick that the devil pulled, was to convince humanity that he did not exist." Why you may ask? Because if it's a matter of opinion, and everyone can choose to believe or not, the enemy can continue working in the background, unabated, and with much destruction, as his nature is to lie, kill, steal and destroy. So all the evil in the world that we see are further perpetuated in a spiritual sense by enemies in the unseen world, who are indeed rulers in high places. 
If you join me, together we will divulge ourselves into the deepest mysteries of God, as His Spirit leads us. We will be on an adventure like no other. We will experience many emotions and exhilarating discoveries, that will leave us yearning for more. As the one who says that He inspired the Word itself, is all powerful, all knowing, omnipresent, and above all, all loving; we are in for a ride that in our wildest imaginations, we cannot possibly fathom.
Thank you for being here. Let's begin...
