Jesus Did It Again

Once more God did not failed me; I cried out loud to the Lord to hear me and HE did, just like before when my son Mark was held up and shot by a hold upper and got away with 300.000 Pesos back 12 years ago. It was an agonizing moment for me and my wife that time. He’s been shot for three hours ago when we heard the news. When we reach the hospital I bend my knees at the hall way of the OR with the Bible on my right hand and I prayed” Lord you gave me six (children), please don’t let anyone of them be taken away”. For six hours bleeding to death, without anyone attending, bleeding for so long, his vain has nothing more to throw and should be collapsed by now.  But God heard  my cry and sent the man who owned the hospital. upon seeing my son's condition he said “I’ll do the operation”. This man is a general surgeon, an expert on life and death case operation. My son was saved. When we asked the attending Doctor why the owner come and did the operation, he said,” even all of us were surprise, seldom he come to check us out.  we thought he was not in the country for he is presently  base is in the US.  Today May 28 2011 Jesus ddi it again again to my eldest daughter when she suffered at the hands of that low inexperience midwife (mal) practitioners.  They handled my daughter in a wrong assuming way. It was a terrible decision for them to say “could you bring her to another hospital, we can’t control the bleeding”.  At the other hospital, three doctors joined together to solve the problem, and took them six hours control the bleedings. They’d found out the major mistake committed by the first doctor. It was negligence on their part, and not taking seriously their profession. That causes a life threatening situation. That whole day, shows she is not stabled, she’s not getting better. We are trying to overcome the situation but we really don’t feel it.  Then early in the next morning we received a text that; the cause might be a major damage to a part that can complicate the kidneys. That message drop my knees and as my bible at the right hand, again I said,” Lord you gave me six, don’t let anything take even one them away from me”.  And as I open my Bible, it caught me on Mark 5:21-34. Like Jairus, my daughter is dying,” Please come and put your hands on her so that she will be healed and live”. After reading that I felt the answer is now on my Bible, the life retaining solution, the word of the Lord. When I reached the room where my daughter is, I’ve just open the Bible and just read the passages. Then we all felt relief. A minuet later the bleeding and some drops of waters stop.  An hour later the doctor check her up and do you know what’s’ he said” wow it subsided now(the swelling), very good. Do you want to go home now? HALEILUJAH!!!!! Praise the Lord. Thank you my Lord my God and my Friend…….

Once Belong, But Not Real


What is your main reason for being a Christian? Unless it is a Christ-centered reason, you may not really belong. You don't have to settle for less than the best. You can become a loyal, trustworthy follower
.

 They went out from us, but they did not really belong to us. For if they had belonged to us, they would have remained with us, but their going showed that none of them belong to us (1 John 2:19 )
The Antichrists were not total strangers to the church, they once belong to it, but they did not continue John does not say why they left; it is clear that their reason for joining in the first place were wrong. Today many people are "Christians" for less than the best reasons. Perhaps going to church is a family tradition. Maybe they like the social and the business contacts they make there. Or possibly going to church is a long standing-habit, and they have never stopped to ask themselves why they do it.

Just Like All The Rest

    Those who are wise must finally die,just like the foolish and senseless,leaving all their wealth behind.
Psalm 49 isn’t exactly what you’d call cheery. Its main point is that the rich will die just like everybody else. The psalm ends on this note: “People who boast of their wealth don’t understand; The rich and poor have one thing in common they will die, when they die, they leave all they own here on earth.  Psalm 49 offers us the possibility of looking at our lives differently, of living with deeper purpose and wider vision. Even if we’re not striving for riches, most of us spend generous amounts of time and effort seeking that which, in the end, will be left behind. We worry about so many things that don’t matter when we look at life from the perspective of death’s inevitability. Psalm 49 gives us the chance to see life from the point of view of death, and therefore choose to live with significance. This is a good time to check up on your investments and see where you have invested the most. Then do something about it!

 Not wealth. Not position or power. Not even success, as the world defines it. Lives that matter even after death were focused on loving God and loving others. It’s really that simple.

Is God Present In The Place You Live?






Go, inspect the city of Jerusalem, Walk around and count the many towers and tour all the citadels, that you may describe them to the future generations. For that is what God is like. He is our God forever and ever, and He will guide us until we die. (Psalm 48:12-14)
In Psalm 48, Jerusalem is so closely associated with God that it reflects God’s own character. God’s greatness is seen in the height and magnificence of Jerusalem (48:2). God reveals himself as a defender in the towers of this city (48:3). The “fortified walls” and “citadels” of Jerusalem tell present and future generations that God is strong, protective, and permanent (48:12-13).

Does it make any 
sense in today’s world to think of a city as somehow reflecting the character of God? Many of us, I expect, think of cities as places of commerce, commotion, and crowds. We hear of great cities with declining populations and crumbling school systems. Surely, therefore, if we want to experience God, we must flee from the city to the country, where we can find rest and beauty.“To build a great city for all people through a gospel movement that brings personal conversion, community formation,social justice and cultural renewal to the world.”
Whether you live in a giant metropolis or a small town, you have the opportunity to live out your faith in such a way that God is present in the place you live. Through acts of kindness and demonstrations of love, through speaking and living the truth, and through doing justice according to God’s Word, you can help your city or town be a place that reflects the very character of God.

Doing The Work Of God’s Kingdom


When Jesus told his disciples that they could “walk among snakes and scorpions and crush them,” he wasn’t talking about literal critters. Rather, these pests represented the “power of the enemy” and, in particular, “evil spirits” (10:19-20). You see, the seventy-two disciples whom Jesus had sent out to do the work of the kingdom returned to him, excited that they had power over demons (10:17). Jesus reaffirmed that he had given them authority over “snakes and scorpions.” Then he added, “But don’t rejoice because evil spirits obey you; rejoice because your names are registered in heaven” (10:20).
When we’re doing the work of God’s kingdom, it’s easy to get caught up in the excitement of our victories. There’s just about nothing more wonderful in life than being used by God to heal someone or bring that person into a saving relationship with Christ. It’s natural to be glad when God works through us. But we must remember that being used by God in this way is a result of something more profound and eternally significant. God works through those whose “names are registered in heaven” (10:20).Evidence of God’s power in our lives confirms the fact that we are citizens of his kingdom, that we belong to him for eternity. And this, Jesus said, is a matter for profuse rejoicing.

 Can you think of times in your life when God used you in a wonderful way? Did your rejoicing in that situation remind you that you belong to God? As you experience God’s good gifts in your life, does this draw you closer to the Lord? Why or why not

For All Who Love God Only

And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them, who are called according to his purpose.(Romans 8:28).
God works out all things-not just isolated incidents, for our good. This does not mean that all that happens to us is good. Evil is prevalent in our fallen world, but God is able to turn it around for our long-range good. Note that God is not working to make us happy, but to fulfill his purpose. Note also that this promise is not for everybody, it can be claimed only by those who love God and are fitting into God's plans. Such people have a new perspective, a new mindset on life. They trust God, not life treasures; they look to their security in heaven, not on earth, they learn .to accept pain and persecution on earth, not resent it, because it brings them closer to God.

They May Refer To Me As Lord,

As we can see, almost all people know already Jesus, but not all believe. They thought he's just like some of those other gods. So they put him in the alliance of gods in their minds and at their altars, a collection of icons. Our experience and our testimonies can make a difference, in their knowledge about Christ. That is the reason why we are in this present time. If we can share that he is alive and working in our lives, may be they will put their trust in him and put their faith in our God. The day of his return will soon be here. So quit the evil deeds of darkness and put on the armor of right living, as we who live in the daylight should! Be decent and true in everything you do so that all can approve your behavior. Don’t spend your time in wild parties and getting drunk or in adultery and lust. The gospel is not only what we believe, but also how we must live. The Holy Spirit leads us in faithfulness, so we can avoid lust and fraud. The Holy Spirit helps us to remain strong in faith, able to show genuine love to others and maintain our moral character even we are being persecuted, slandered, or oppressed. We must stand still and don't be move. Continue to share your blessing and the goodness you received from God; they needed that to believe.
 " Not all who sound religious are really godly people. They may refer to me as Lord,' but still won't get to heaven. For the decisive question is whether they obey my Father in heaven.(Matt.7:21)

Proclaim God's Greatness

Because you said:" The Nile is mine! I made it!" therefore I am against you and your river and I will utterly destroy the land of Egypt, from Migdol to Syene, as far south as the border of Ethiopia. ( Ezekiel 29:10 ).
The Nile was Egypt's pride and joy, a life-giving river cutting through the middle of the desert. Rather than thanking God however, Egypt declared,"The Nile is mine". We do the same when we say "This house is mine; I built it". or "I have brought myself to the place where I am today". or I have built this church, business, or reputation, from the ground up." These statements reveal our pride. We sometimes take for granted what God has given us, thinking we have made it ourselves. Of course, we have put forth a lot of hard effort, but God supplied the resources, gave us the abilities, and provided us with the opportunities to make it happen. Instead of claiming our own greatness, as the Egyptians did, we should proclaim God's greatness and give him the credit.
Today we continually receiving God's blessing  and grace for our life, enough to say thank you Lord every minute, every hour every day.Are we proclaiming all these things ours? Our God is great.  Its about time to consider the love of God for us is doing all this favor. Why don't we say that to ourselves, to our neighbors so that they will know our God is alive and doing things that is good for us. Proclaim God's Goodness Christians!!!!!!

Christianity Is Not Limited

:We are to go whether it is next door or to another country. We have received gifts that we can use in helping to fulfill the Great Commission. As we obey we have comfort in the knowledge that Jesus is always with us. Christianity is not limited to any race or group of people. Christ offers salvation to all people without regard to nationality. God work's all kinds of miracles to spread the gospel, using many languages as He calls all people to become His followers. No matter what your race, color, nationality or language. God speaks to you. Are you listening? A personal testimony is an effective method for convincing people to follow a cause or buy a product. When people see change lives and watch God's power at work. They will come from far and wide to worship him. Those close to you should be able to see God at work in your life, in your words, and in your actions. Living faith makes a difference. Make sure your faith is more than just a statement; it should also result in action. Be alert to ways to put your faith to work. Testify and share Jesus to every one.
 When we tell others about Christ, it is important always to be gracious in what we say. No matter how much sense the message make, we lose our effectiveness if we are not courteous. Just as we like to be respected, we must respect others if we want them to listen to what we have to say.

Our Testimony Can Make A Difference

As we can see, almost all people know already Jesus, but not all believe. They thought he's just like some of those other gods. So they put him in the alliance of gods in their minds and at their altars, a collection of icons. Our experience and our testimonies can make a difference, in their knowledge about Christ. That is the reason why we are in this present time. If we can share that he is alive and working in our lives, may be they will put their trust in him and put their faith in our God. The day of his return will soon be here. So quit the evil deeds of darkness and put on the armor of right living, as we who live in the daylight should!

The Holy Spirit helps us to remain strong in faith, able to show genuine love to others and maintain our moral character even we are being persecuted, slandered, or oppressed. We are HIS witnesses, we must continue to share HIS love and HIS blessing.

Is JESUS in the house?

We must communicate our strong faith to everyone. We must not hide our light at home. Let you parents, children, spouse, brothers and sisters know of your faith in Jesus and be sure they see Christ's love, helpfulness and joy in you..
If our faith in Christ is real, it will usually prove itself at home, in our relationship with those who know us best. Children should honor their parents even if the parents are demanding and unfair. Parents should care gently for their children, even if the children are disobedient and unpleasant. Christian parents and children will relate to each other with thoughtfulness and love.This will happen if both parents and children put others interests above their own; that is, if they submit to one another.
Jesus said; a house divided against itself will fall. Luke 11:17. Members of every Christian households must always be together and united. Agreement is Amen, and Jesus is the Amen of God. in maintaining harmony and blessing at home, there must be an Amen. Is JESUS in the house?

Let's Get Real, Take off the mask


Some Christians are often insecure about their own spiritual shortcomings. Why? For one thing, in too many of our biggest and most visible churches, we see role models who appear to have everything. These prosperity gospel preachers smile all the time and talk about how God wants to prosper us,” no matter what” Taking verses out of context, they spread the poisonous belief that God wants us to be happy, healthy, and wealthy, and there’s something wrong with us if we don’t have that sacred triune wrapped up. The sad result is that instead of talking about our problems openly and feeling as if church were the perfect place to share our brokenness, we’ve swallowed the lie that we have to get "gussied up" to interact with other Christians!
In Romans 8:35- 39  These verses contain one of the most comforting promises in all scripture. Believers have always had to face hardship in many forms; persecution, illness, imprisonment, even death. These could cause them to fear that they have been abandoned by Christ. Christian community should provide a place where broken people get healed, not where we feel wrong for expressing our humanness. The simple truth is, Jesus is perfect—not us. The work of our sanctification is ongoing, and we live on a fallen, messy planet. Isn’t it time to take off our masks and be real. Although we pray that God will supply all our needs materially, we must recognize the Bible's teaching that God may allow his children to experience time of need in order to be encouraged to trust Him more and to develop our faith, spiritual endurance and ministry.

All the families of the nations will bow down before him."



Psalm 22. Verse 27 reads: "The whole earth will acknowledge the LORD and return to him. All the families of the nations will"all the families of the nations will bow down before him".
Notice that it is not just "all nations" that will worship God, but "all the families of the nations."
The Hebrews placed great emphasis on family worship. When offering a sacrifice or attending a great feast, the family was often together. This gave the children a healthy attitude toward worship and it put extra meaning in to it for the adults.
A picture of people from all nations gathering in their families to worship the one true God. This is the picture of the future at the thrown of God; But would it be nice to be in the practice even now of doing that?
In a day when so much in our culture threatens to weaken families, we ought to be encouraged by Psalm 22:27 to find ways to support family worship.
Perhaps nothing will help children to grow in their faith more than seeing their own parents genuinely worshiping God.
Of course this can happen, not just in church services, but in other settings as well, including the home. Family worship includes such activities as praying before meals, serving together on a mission trip, and so much more. Parents who want their children to know and serve the Lord should strive to live out their faith each day in every dimension of life
As the Christian community seeks to support families, we must also remember that we are the family of God together. Those who do not live with relatives can find a home among their brothers and sisters in Christ. In this way all of us can bow before the Lord and offer our lives in service to him.
Deuteronomy 12:12 You shall rejoice there before the Lord with your sons and daughters and servants; and remember to invite the Levites to feast with you, for they have no land of their own.
Every home has a leader; the Father . We can never deny that to have a good and harmonious relationship at home in the family is to have a good leadership who knows how to manage well.. But to be a good leader is not only inside the church requires but at home as well. Paul said; A leader must have a well behave family, with children who obey quickly and quietly. But to have this he must first have only one wife, he must be hard working and thoughtful, orderly, and full of good deeds and must know the word of God..The Church Pastor and the Father at home has only one mandate if we want to be joined in the families of all nations to bow down and worship the only one God.

Today's Witnesses





But you will receive power when the holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses to the end of the earth.[ Acts 1:8 ]
In all Judea, in Jerusalem, and Samaria are the most possible visited already by the disciples. Jesus said that before he returns, the Good News about the Kingdom (the salvation) would be preached throughout the world.This was the disciple's mission, and today, it is us in this present time;" it's now ours
."We did not follow cleverly invented stories when we told you about the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty [2peter116]
Not all disciples are teachers, or preachers, but "All of them are witnesses."!!!Jesus talked about the end time and final judgments to show his followers the urgency of spreading the Good News of salvation to everyone so today; we are here in our present time, close enough to the end .We are made to be his witnesses after witnessing his goodness and miracles. It’s not just for ourselves alone or for us to boast, it’s for them too, who are beginning to loose hope and most specially for those who heard Jesus but never yet know the salvation behind the name..
 Now I'm talking to all who are the real Witnesses of today. You know that in your heart... Stand up.. Lay down your testimony, testify. There are people heard the name Jesus but doesn’t really know the salvation behind the name. And some Christians who needed that to refresh their faith. Don't hesitate to share your experience and blessing, don't be ashamed... Don’t be fearful, you are not alone...GOD IS WITH US....

Life is short no matter how long


 Life is short no matter how long we live. Don't be deceived into thinking you have lots of remaining time to live to enjoy your love ones and everything that you're having now, or to do what you know you should. Live for God today! This chance is given yours, to be saved by grace. Then no matter when your life ends, you will have fulfilled God's plan for you.

Don't Hesitate, Share the Love of God

Many hesitate to share what Christ has done in their lives because they don't feel the change has been spectacular enough. But you qualify as a witness for Jesus because of what he has done for you, not because of what you have done for him. John assures us that Christ has done specific things for each person that can be shared with others. For example, Christ demonstrated his grate love by setting us free from our sins" through his death on the cross, guaranteeing us a place in his Kingdom, and making us priests to administer God's love to others.The fact that the all-powerful God has offered eternal life to you is nothing short of spectacular.


We may not face such persecution for our faith in Jesus, but few of us have the courage even now to share God's Word with others. If we afraid to share our faith during easy times, how will we during times of persecution?

My story with God

Christian Graphics

   I'm a musician at the age of 15 (1966) and    managing my own band (The Spoiled generation), and I also organized a gang (Ab LoVe) to be my protective fence. Having a loving parents though, I'm not contented...  why is it that I always wanted to die? All my friends envy me but I don't see it that way. There is something that is missing in my life. So I quit entertainment, my night life, my gang, almost even my family. I began to isolate my self. I go mountain climbing.. But still nothing change. One rest day at home, a man came and asked me to be his witness for the annulment of his marriage from the girl that I lived with for three years, so I'd testified, and he got the approval. After the annulment was granted he was so happy and said thank you mar I would like to return the favor if I may, I love to give you a gift that will never last. He ask me to come and listen to the two days sharing (teaching) about Jesus. So I came. The first day; it was boring; because I thought I already knew Jesus from my Christian school. But in the second day when they talk about the fall of man, I suddenly remember the day when this man ask me to make his wife to go back home with him, That I did not, because the girl doesn't love him anymore . Now I realize how hurts this man is during that time of longing and yet here he is so loving and so happy to share Jesus to every one including me. Then a flashes back from the past wrong I've made, to the people and to my family...Oh how fitly I am.. I cried so loud and ask the Lord to forgive me to all the wrong I've done. That day I accepted Jesus as my Lord and Savior. And all become beautiful to me, I see my life was shining bright. I never knew that I was delivered from all my vices. Weeds (marijuana), hashish, cocaine, acid pills, stimulants or depressants syrups, downers or upper tabs, even beer and alcohol drinks. Name it, I’ve done them all. That’s how musicians of the 60's-70's 80s are (flower people). But after that long and boring two days seminar, before it end, Jesus got me on my knees.. Oh, how kind and loving that Man is, this is the moment that I knew all the vices are no longer wanted, I begin to turn on to my new addiction, the Word of God. Yes the Bible!!. And all I wanted is to read and read the Bible all day long and all to me become new. My friends called me crazy. The next time I know, we are all crazy. They accepted my Jesus too . And the awesome works of God started in my life. It was a charismatic celebration of Pentecost 1985 when Jesus found me.

The two tall macho ordinary looking men



The two tall macho ordinary looking men (my story)

One Wednesday at Querino avenue, near Rethemtourist Church Baclaran,ParanaqueCity. It was a very crowded market place, Me and bro. Phil went on our street Evangelism program, My topic is about alcoholic men and the spirit of GOD( from Ephesians 5:18). In the closing part of my preaching a man suddenly appear from the crowd with a closed fist ready to blow a punch on me. in between me and the drunken man, two tall men ( Cadets looking ) walk across . If that man release his fist, he will surely hit the tall man's chest. Naturally, the tall man reacted at the defensive mode. Now it look like him against the two tall macho looking men. Subdued, and maybe thought the two men are with our group, the drunk man walk away fearfully head low.. On our way home, my friend Phil praise the Lord for the intervention. for he know that only God who can make it happened. He didn't saw anyone. but after I told him what I've seen. then we remember the story of a beautiful church worker saved by the two big men from a killer rapist inQuezon city. And another church worker escorted by two big men to pass across the newly isolated road in bacoor Cavite. The story of a beautiful church worker happened two months before I experience the baclaran incident from the two cadet looking men. and only month ago when the story of an elderly church worker escorted by two big macho men to cross the isolated place where killed people dumped. This happened in three different places. one in Quezon city, the other in Cavite city and mine in Paranaque city.





The two tall macho ordinary looking men ( the beautiful church worker)



The beautiful lady I'm talking about lives in a group of settlers near the river. The only entrance and way out is through the narrow isle of the river, and on both sides of the isle are banana trees. This beautiful worker saw the rapist,criminal on the night just before he was arrested. when she decided to share the Gospel to the man and thank him for sparring her life.(This man has already raped and killed three girls) .At the city jail, she asked the man why he didn't do anything bad to her, the man gave her a stunning answer. He said" I'm not a fool to attack you with that two big men with you. Halleluijah !!





The two tall macho ordinary looking men (an elderly church worker)



The elderly church worker who persistently wanting to go home for her only old mother at their home alone after a long preparation practice at the church for their Sunday service. But its already past midnight and no one in the transportation service wanted to drive because of the way in the newly constructed road was being used as a dumping ground for the hold up victims. But she was glad for her surprised of one driver volunteered to accept the trip. At the arrival the lady asked the driver how much doest it coast for it is a special trip, the driver answered" JUST PAY FOR ONE PERSON ONLY" ..The day after, she saw the driver and she asked him why did he said Just pay one only? the driver said IF NOT FOR THOSE TWO BIG COMPANION OF YOURS ME TOO CAN NEVER BE HOME THAT NIGHT FOR MY PREGNANT WIFE ALONE IN THE HOUSE>> Awesome GOD






 FOR HE WILL GIVE HIS ANGELS CHARGE CONCERNING YOU TO GUARD YOU IN ALL YOUR WAYS (psalm 91:11)




One of the functions of angels is to watch over believers; specially those servants of God. And I'm here to testify, I personally encounter the two tall macho, ordinary looking men.  God is true to his word, that he will give his angels charge concerning his workers to be guarded in all their ways.

Who Shifted The Hole



Sometimes it's good to be on the down side of life. What I mean is when financially down.,
This happened one rainy season when the roof of our house were busted open by a big stone thrown by a kid. During that time we are living on a no ceiling house just a galvanize iron roofing sheet with a combination of synthetic light roofing that becoming fragile as time as it goes old.
One evening, passed midnight, we are awakened by a sound of heavy rain fall. My wife stretches her right hand towards the roof and said in Jesus name. Then I saw heavy pouring water at the corner of the house (We are living in a six by eight meters studio type house then) so I have to get and put the bucket to be the catch basin. Then we continue to sleep. Around 9:00 am an Elder of the church arrive for some hi, hello talk, just to know how we are that evening when that heavy rain falls. But within that conversation the strong pouring of rain fall once again.. She felt so bad when she saw the rushing flows of water right at the center of our home. Can you imagine eight of us lying asleep on a little space and the location of the roof hole to where the falls is coming is from the center of that space. Sister Gloria the elder is witnessing on how in God's grace can we not get wet and completed sleep all through the night? Then she asked how can you not get wet last night? Then we look at the bucket filled water at the corner where there is not even a small hole on top of it.
This is how the picture scene. At night, we put all the sofa at the sides then we put banig (Philippine carpet) at the center and together we all lay to sleep (this is our life 1986)
Now, the question is; how come we never get wet. I think you better ask the one who shifted the hole during that rainy night.
Without that poor condition, we may never witness that miracle. Thanks be to GOD..
When there is nothing you can do, God can do anything for you!!.
