Pierce the Veil
“Even if our Good News is veiled, it is veiled in those who perish; in whom the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving, that the light of the Good News of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should not dawn on them.” (2 Corinthians 4:3-4 WEB)
The good news (Gospel) of Jesus Christ is actually gloriously bright. It is so dazzling that Satan has used all sorts of methods to “veil” the Gospel from unbelievers.
Slandering methods:
“Going to church is so boring!”
“The Bible is so ancient and outdated. We live in the 21st century now.”
“God is not real—that concept is just a crutch for weak losers.”
“Look at that pastor who embezzled money from his church. All these churches are just out to con people of their money. Don’t be a fool!”
If that doesn’t work, he may try to heap condemnation and feelings of unworthiness in unbelievers:
“Church is for holy people. You are a rotten sinner. If you step into church, God will strike you down immediately.”
“You, go to church? Don’t make me laugh—you’re probably the worst kind of sinner there is.”
In many shows and movies, Christians are portrayed as weird people who others stay far away from.
Sometimes, preachers help the devil’s agenda by preaching that God is angry with everyone, and that we should be afraid of His punishment. There is almost no mention of God’s love, and it is frequently preaching against sin.
Then, there is the example that Christians set. Some believers get into embarrassing arguments on social media, live just like the unbelievers so that there is no discernible difference, and are so devoid of love and compassion—instead, they are constantly judging and criticizing.
In all these, the glorious light of the Gospel of Jesus Christ becomes veiled. The world can’t see the full measure of light because of all the bad things they have heard and seen about Christianity.
It is time to pierce these demonic veils. To unleash the full light of the Gospel, we must preach Jesus Christ based on what we read about Him doing in the four Gospels and beyond.
When you show how Jesus is full of grace and truth, how He demonstrates the Father’s heart of love and mercy towards the world through His miracles, words and actions, the veil of unbelief will be pierced through.
People will see a good, generous God who is full of love, who welcomes sinners to freely receive the gift of salvation through faith in Jesus Christ.
We have a beautiful Gospel to share. It is a precious treasure we have in these earthen vessels (our flesh). Let the light shine, and darkness will scatter!
In “Messiah’s Miracles: The Power of Having Faith in Jesus Christ”, I expound on the 37 recorded miracles of Jesus Christ, to reveal God’s heart of love and grace towards you. Miracle-working faith will be imparted to you as the chapters declare rhema words for your long-awaited breakthrough: https://www.ko-fi.com/s/0db846b58c

“God conceals the revelation of his word in the hiding place of his glory. But the honor of kings is revealed by how they thoroughly search out the deeper meaning of all that God says.” (Proverbs 25:2 TPT)
Pass the Bible to language “experts’ who are unbelievers and they will find all sorts of so-called contradictions in it.
The Bible is so precious because it’s a book that needs the Holy Spirit to unlock the revelations within.
It takes a child of God who has the indwelling of the Holy Spirit to understand God’s word and to preach its meaning to the unsaved and uninitiated.
You can’t just read the Bible like it’s any other book. The Holy Spirit must open your eyes and mind to understand the word.
Most unbelievers I’ve spoken to think that Christianity is all about keeping rules and regulations and obeying the Ten Commandments.
Why is this so? It’s because our fleshly minds understand the concept of “eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth”—in other words, “you get what you deserve”.
However the unspiritual man cannot understand Grace, since Grace is the unmerited favor of God, and the flesh lusts against the things of God.
The flesh wants to earn its accomplishments, to boast in its own strength.
Sadly, there are still some well-meaning Christians who are preaching this fleshly message of obedience to the Law.
It’s because they read God’s word with their mind, interpreting it by man’s understanding, without actively seeking revelation through the Holy Spirit inside them.
It’s strange that the legalists who champion keeping the Law never practice the following passage themselves:
“If your hand or your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off, and cast it from you. It is better for you to enter into life maimed or crippled, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into the eternal fire. If your eye causes you to stumble, 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 the Gehenna of fire.” (Matthew 18:8-9 WEB)
Dear legalist, if you take Jesus’ “red letter words” seriously, then why aren’t you cutting off your hands and feet when they cause you to sin?
Why aren’t you gouging out your eyes when they cause you to lust, covet or hate?
Self-righteous, legalistic folks spiritualize the difficult parts to suit their doctrine. When it’s inconvenient or impossible for them, they just ignore it.
These kinds of hypocrites were Jesus’ main opponents during His earthly ministry.
Ask the Holy Spirit to open your eyes to the Gospel of Grace which is the revelation of God’s great love for mankind.
He will show you that forgiveness of sins, peace with God, and every blessing has been purchased through the precious blood of Jesus Christ that was shed at the cross.
Today we only need to receive God’s goodness by faith—believing in your heart and confessing it with your mouth.
Let the scales of religion fall off your eyes, so that you may see God’s word clearly through the lens of Grace.
I want to recommend my 4-eBook bundle which teaches the four gospels through the lens of Grace.
In it, every parable, miracle and saying of Jesus Christ is explained so that you won’t be confused any longer.
When you read the four gospels the right way, you’ll be encouraged by God’s love without feeling any sense of condemnation towards you!
A customer who bought this bundle, Linda, said this about it: “Well worth the money. Wish I had done it sooner. Wonderful study.”

Maryum Acuna Landeo dahulunya beragama Kristian Katolik. Beliau memiliki banyak persoalan tentang agama Kristian dan lalu diajukan kepada paderinya di gereja. Namun jawapan mereka kurang memuaskan hati beliau terutamanya bab ketuhanan dan konsep triniti.
Jiwa remajanya terus memberontak dan konsep ketuhanan dalam Islam menerusi surah Al-Ikhlas 112:1-4 menjawab persoalannya selama ini;
“Katakan, Dialah Allah Yang Maha Esa, Allah adalah bergantungnya kepadaNya segala sesuatu, Dia tiada beranak dan diperanakkan, dan tiada apapun yang sama denganNya.”
Beliau mengucapkan dua kalimah shahadah dan tiga tahun lepas. Ibu dan adik beradiknya memulaukan beliau. Air-mata menjadi peneman setiap hari namun beliau sabar menghadapi ujian dari Yang Maha Esa.
Kesabarannya dibalas oleh Allah dengan suatu nikmat yang menyebabkan beliau sekali lagi mengalirkan air-mata hatta ketika perbualan saya dengan beliau tadi.
IBU YANG SELAMA INI MENENTANG PENGISLAMNNYA TURUT MENGUCAPKAN DUA KALIMAH SHAHADAH TIGA BULAN LEPAS SETELAH MELIHAT PERUBAHAN MARYUM. ALLAHUAKBAR!!!
Kini beliau dan ibunya aktif berdakwah bersama Asociacion Islamica del Peru. Jikalau Allah kehendaki, tiada siapa yang mampu menghalangnya. Setiap kesabaran, pasti ada balasan dalam bentuk nikmat yang menanti. Adakalanya Allah segerakan dan adakalanya Allah tangguhnya nikmat yang lebih besar untuk kita di akhirat. Allahuakbar Allahuakbar Allahuakbar.
****************************************
Maryum Acuna Landeo was a Catholic Christian. She had many questions about Christianity thus she directed all of it to the her priest. However their answers didn’t put her mind to rest especially when it comes to the topic of God and the concept of trinity.
Her young soul continued on rebelling until she found the concept of God in Islam, through chapter Al-Ikhlas 112:1-4 answers all her burning questions.
“Say, "He is Allah, [who is] One, Allah, the Eternal Refuge.
He neither begets nor is born, Nor is there to Him any equivalent."
She then declared the testimony of faith and 3 years after she was abandoned by her mother and siblings. Only her tears became her constant companion but she handled her test from The Almighty with patience.
Her patience was rewarded by Allah with a blessing that once again made her teared during her conversation with me.
HER MOTHER THAT WAS AGAINST HER REVERSION TO ISLAM FINALLY ACCEPTED ISLAM THREE MONTHS AGO WHEN SHE SAW THE POSITIVE CHANGES OF MARYUM. ALLAHUAKBAR.
And now she and her mother are actively doing da’wah alongside the Asociation Islamica del Peru. If Allah wills no one can stop. Every patience are rewarded with a blessing we’ve been longing for. Although sometimes Allah hasten it and other times Allah hold it back to grant us a bigger blessing in Akhirah. Allahuakbar Allahuakbar Allahuakbar.
