SAVED TILL THE END!

So I'm gonna be ending the year with the Lord! Yehey!!! At least, whatever may have happened to me this year what matters is that I still have gotten up and is still with the Lord. Ang mahalaga ay yung nilaban mo yung relasyon mo sa Diyos.  Because we cannot perfect our selves, God, in His amazing grace, is the One who perfects our flawed life. We're told to just persevere so the He could continue pouring out His righteousness on us. "Remember those early days after you first saw the light? Those were the hard times! Kicked around in public, targets of every kind of abuse-some days it was you, other days your friends. If some friends went to prison, you stuck by them. If some enemies broke in and seized your goods, you let them go with a smile, knowing they couldn't touch your real treasure. Nothing they did bothered you, nothing set you back. So don't throw it all away now. You were sure of yourselves then. It's still a sure thing! But you need to stic

The Moment God Checked My Heart

"There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment . The one who fears is not made perfect in love."  1 John 4:18 If you really love Me, so be it. Go.. love people. No IF's no BUT's. As you do the ministry; do not fear, do not worry. After all, your loving is not meant to be a punishment. You didn't come to know Me to be punished. I got you out of there, remember? It was I who promised to give you life and have it to the full. You love people because I loved you first. And you have to remember that I also loved them despite who they are and what they do.

How He Loves Us. His Jealousy. Our Idolatry.

Who can measure what God does? Who can outgive Him? We can't but we sometimes make it seem like we could. There is jealousy in the love of God. That's why He he made certain of idolatry being abominable for Him. He offered His own Son for a bunch of selfish creatures just much more intelligent than the animals. He gave and took nothing in return. He just gave for God so loved the world.  And all that we could ever do is to get. Because we have to satisfy our needs. HOW WE LOVE HIM NOT We forget about Him, we forget about what He's done and go on doing what we've known and what we've already mastered. We would try be invulnerable of the Spirit and do our thing. When we settle for knowledge over wisdom. When we focus on welfare rather than salvation. For we, ourselves are no longer recepient of it. "They have forsaken Me, the fountain of living waters, and hewn themselves cisterns--broken cisterns that can hold no water." Jeremiah 2:13 What quench

Hindi Lahat ng Galit sa Magnanakaw ay Kapatid ng Magnanakaw.

Noong mga nakaraang araw natutunan ko na mas masayang mag-bigay. At hindi maganda sa pakiramdam ang mawalan... lalo na ang manakawan. Hindi nangangahulugan na kung nasa atin ay sa atin talaga. Pwedeng pinapa-alagaan o pinapa-ingatan lang. At kung hindi natin magagawa ang mga bagay na yon, nagbubukas lang tayo ng pinto para sa magnanakaw, sa pumapatay at sa naninira. Wala sa mga bagay sa mundo na ito ang ating kasiyahan. At ang ating kasiyahan ay hindi naman din sa mga bagay. Natutunan ko din na malungkot ang buhay ng madamot. At hindi lahat ng madamot ay iyong hindi nagbibigay. Meron ding madamot na nagbibigay. Yung nagbibigay na akala nila ang laki ng nawala sa kanila. Dahil hindi rin naman ibig sabihin na kung nagbibigay ka ay nawawalan ka. Pagkakataon nga iyon para lumawak yung lalagyanan. Para kapag ikaw naman ang nabibiyayaan meron kang paglalagyan. Oo nga pala naalala ko, hindi lang naman uso ang pagbibigay tuwing Pasko.

The Joy-Ride.

God does not want us to be alone. He does not intend to make us dejected when He is taking away things from us. It does not meant to paralyze us when we consecrate ourselves. Unable to do what we usually do.After all, we're able to have the fullness of God, don't we? Being set apart for Him does not make us have lesser   things to do  nor  lesser things to have . It just simply compels us to make right our altered priorities.  Isolation makes us hostile to God and put ourselves into resentment. And we know that resentment kills a fool. (Job 5:2) And God isn't pleased being ignored. (Romans 8:8 MSG) We feel grieved with the plan that is of God when we set our standards by the joy of our flesh. What is it compared to the joy that’s from the Lord?  Change is constant. When God brings forth His joy and it's being changed by the other, change it again. If it changes, continue changing as well. Jesus' ministry is always about change. And so the enemy's

Not By Might Nor By Power... Not Even This Writer.

I have been told that everybody will come to know Jesus. Everybody. That all knees should bow down . Everybody. That every tongue will confess . Jesus Christ is Lord.  Meanwhile, everybody's busy living their own lives. Everybody doesn't seem to be in enthusiastic participation. Everybody's got lots of things to do. Everybody's been building their own walls. Walls of pride. Walls of selfish gain. Walls of greed. Walls of anger . Everybody does not want to be disturbed. There have been too many kingdoms to even let thy Kingdom be. And everybody's hungry for power. But do we forget how God has given someone? Someone in humility. The One who set aside the privilege of deity. The One who died without claiming to be someone who got Divine equality. The death that everybody thought as tragedy Is the death that gave us victory. But I have been told, everybody will come to know Jesus. Everybody.  That all knees should bow down . Everybody.  That

God And "Everything".

 "But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you." Matthew 6:33 "Why are they not here yet? Why am I not having this and that yet? Whatever happened to the thing I have spent my schedule on for weeks of prayer and the times I have fasted?" It's given already, you are Christian, you serve God. You've already "perfected" the Christian faith (or at least 'cause you just feel like it). You seem to have followed the Thou Shall not' s .  But is that all there is? Is that all the reason of the blood shedding, cross endurin g of Jesus? Are these all the reason for the Passion of Christ? We want our family restored. We want excellent service. Extravagant praise and worship. We want extensive growth in our ministry. We want people to know Jesus. To be a believer of Christ. We all want the best. We want to be the best. All for the glory of God.  And it is not bad wanting those
