Be Alert!!!

Mark 13:33 (King James Version)

 ³³Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is.

Ephesians 6:18 (King James Version)

 ¹⁸Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;

1 Thessalonians 5:6 (King James Version)

 ⁶Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.

1 Peter 5:8 (King James Version)

 ⁸Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:


BE ALERT!!!


We Christian, has been alerted...tested...tried so many times in our Christian lives.

There are times that we conquered it and times that it conquered us.

We fell asleep forgetting about a certain responsibility of being watchful...or being alert.

Here's the basic example....1.) we tend to sleep without praying and 2.) we eat without giving grace.

And then we woke up incomplete. We finished the food and never satisfied. We end up unwell. As much as we need to be fed with the things in the world, the MORE we need our spirit to be feed.

Be ALERT. Be Watchful. Don't sleep in vain. Sleep with a smile because we forget not to pray. We fight the flesh. We conquer the enemy. We stand faithful in God's eyes. We lift the Name of the Most High God. We won the battle. We have given greater glory to God.

It is the Lord Jesus who is first. Not the flesh. Not the mind. Not the Heart. It's Jesus, the Living God.

We stayed alert for His glory and for our benefit. As we fight the darkness who tried to stole our senses away from what we ought to do, we are more than conquerors. It's all because of Jesus.

To God be the glory forever and ever. Amen.

Be careful what you eat

Praise the Lord for all His blessed help to me. God is very present in our times of troubles...this i know very well. It has been proven in my life.

After supper, lastnight, i felt s0mething itchy in my shoulder. I ignored it thinking it is only mosquito bites. I boil water and mixed it with the cold one we have in our restroom. When i went to inside the bathroom, i felt itchiness all over my body. It's like a worm moving around fast and i cannot stand it. After my bath i can still feel the itchiness. When i went outside, it scared me seeing my body filled with itchy reddish poofy thing. I shouted thrice before my husband attend to me because he was watching alpha dog movie and it's kinda loud. He looks terrible when he saw me. But he managed to be calm still.

I asked him to call my mom because we both dont know what to do.

Mom immediately attend to my needs. Thank You Lord for my mama.

Mom asked me what did i ate the whole day. Mom knew im allergic to egg,and my body reacts to it especially when i had a lot. But she also thought that it maybe some kind of food poisoning.

While mom's still talking i suddenly fell dizzy and itchy and my eyes begins to blur. When i told mom,she said i am just nervous and so my sister lareigne gave me water. Thanks sis.

Mom called the communily ambulance assistance because my eyes started to blur bad and i find it hard to breathe.

My husband kept on praying for me. He held my hands to him and i rest on a pillow he put on his legs while on our way to the hospital.

The travel seems long. Mom is asking the first aide assistance on what they thought about my situation. Someone said, usually allergy or food poisoning. The other said it might be some insect bite.

Thank God for His goodness and grace. When we arrived at the hospital, i walk with my husband to look for a doctor while mom was asked by a nurse to log my name at the information.

They gave me two shots in my hands and arms. Scarry needle but i trust on the Lord.I am doing great now. Thank you for praying

On FLOOD

There's something about the flood that scares me. It's the LIFE of the people trying to saved their lives as well as their family's lives plus their home.

It's the SALVATION of everyone involved.

Genesis 6:17
And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; and every thing that is in the earth shall die.

I can feel the pain while watching videos from youtube. So many flood happened. So many lives lost. So any people suffer.
 
And still only God knows the reason for everything.
 
Last year, we experienced flood in the Philippines too. In my hometown, i walk in the water. There are dirt that you won't mind looking 'coz all you wanna do is to conquer your fear and be home with your family.
 
I am 5'2 feet tall with 5inches foot size. I was afraid to walk on that muddy water where all kinds of things were there. I was afraid of the waves i saw. I was afraid to see dead body. I was afraid to notice this woman behind me gasping her breath. I was afraid seeing pigs/hogs floating in the place. I was afraid thinking i might not be able to finished walking and the water will just ate me.
 
Whew, every fear convinced me that i was down without faith.
 
But oh, while walking, i can still read text messages from people who loves me dearly. Words of encouragements staright from the Word of God.
 
Would it be fun to think that i could walk in water? Like Peter perhaps? oh Peter wasn't able to finished it that's why the Lord told him, "oh you of little faith!"
 
Fear makes us forget isn't it? When we're afraid senses are at it's best. The things we see, hear and feel makes us nervous. Yay, what about the sense of taste. Oh that would be another thing to think about now.
 
Nervous according the one online dictionary is define as :
–adjective

1. highly excitable; unnaturally or acutely uneasy or apprehensive: to become nervous under stress.

2. of or pertaining to the nerves: nervous tension.

3. affecting the nerves: nervous diseases.

4. suffering from, characterized by, or originating in disordered nerves.

5. characterized by or attended with acute uneasiness or apprehension: a nervous moment for us all.

6. having or containing nerves.

7. sinewy or strong.

8. Archaic . vigorous or spirited.

—Synonyms


1. fearful, timid, timorous.


—Antonyms

1. confident, bold.
 
It is simply a NEGATIVE THOUGHT or FEELING.
 
But then again, by the grace and mercy of God, and through faith, we conquer those fears. The fear of the unknown. Yeah, unknown, because we don't know what will/might happen next or in the future with those kind of flood.
 
One thing is for sure. Nothing to be afraid at but God Himself.
 
God is always true to His promises.
 
Genesis 9:11

And I will establish my covenant with you, neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth.


Joshua 24:14

Now therefore fear the LORD, and serve him in sincerity and in truth: and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the flood, and in Egypt; and serve ye the LORD.


Job 28:11

He bindeth the floods from overflowing; and the thing that is hid bringeth he forth to light.


Psalm 29:10

The LORD sitteth upon the flood; yea, the LORD sitteth King for ever.


Those who trust in Jesus, and those who's Lord is Him that saves...are able to conquer the fear and forget about it. Because He that reigns on high is FAITHFUL.

Have a faith-filled day to all!

Thought to Ponder

"When it comes to humility, I know my flaws. I am not a worth imitating.

On Blogging, Twittering, Facebooking and Friendsterings

Whew that must be a lot to maintain eh.

Blogging trained me to think on what to share whether it be daily experiences, daily encounter with the Lord, sharing on what is happening in the blog world or on anything that affects me physically, emotionally, and spiritually. But as much as possible, i would like to blog or to write only for the glory of God.

Early today, my darling co-servant in Christ Marianne sent a morning message abour her "baon"  or something she carry with her for the day. A word of encouragement straight from the Bible.

My devotion for today centered on God's love and what does this love affect us as God's children.

Deuteronomy 7:8 (King James Version)

"But because the LORD loved you, and because he would keep the oath which he had sworn unto your fathers, hath the LORD brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed..."


On Twitter, that's also my tweet all about. All about the LOVE of God. While the world today suffers economical pain, i pray God's children be nortured with love from the Father. Hard to tell but when we feel God's LOVE surrounding us everyday, no matter the circumstances, no matter the pain in this present world...God's love will remain and will be revealed. Thank You Lord!

On Facebook, i shared LOVE. Every now and then i received messages that give delights to the Lord Most High. My co-servant in Christ, my co-workers at Church, my friends and family who are dear to me shared the same kind of love...the LOVE only the Lord Jesus could give. Unconditional. Indescribable. Simply amazing. We just opened an account for our church last night. That's an awesome thing. I pray the Lord be glorified in everything that we put in there. And that God be exalted in everything that we do.

On Friendster, this is the place where i got my clan got to know each other. I put up a separate page for the family where we could know each other. It works. There has been reunions and it made each hearts joyful. Thanks be to God. It is where i shared my beloved whom God sent for me to have and to love. This account of mine has never been that updated since the rise of facebook. But i owe some to that account. A personal thing that lead me to be at peace in some point in my life. This is the site where i first made a blog.

LOVE...LOVE...LOVE...this will not end. It will endure. It will remain. While the other things are vanity, LOVE will stand perfectly. God is LOVE. Our Lord is forever.

Yes, I love you with the love of the Lord!

Words of Encouragement from Friends

I always received simple messages from my friends via text messaging, and it always made me glad and really blessed my heart.

Here are some that i would like to share:

Heart is not a basket for keeping tension and worries. It is a bouquet for keeping happiness. ~ Mae

If ever you feel God is taking something from your hand, don't get sad. He is only emptying your hand so you can receive something better. ~ Merissa

Your safety is equivalent to someone else's peace of mind. ~ Gideon

Carry laughter with you wherever you go. ~ Justine

A child asked his father: "why do i need to be humble?" His father said, "when you choose the lowest path, there's no place to fall and the only way is up." ~ Hi

Always say: "I am happy because God is with me. Where I am there He is. What I do, He sees. How I feel, He knows. Truly God is good. " ~ Merissa

God's Word is what will open our eyes and cure spiritual blindness. ~ Jaypee
The entrance of Your Word gives light...Psalm 119:130

God is awesome! God is good!

On Coffee

Photo from http://www.txberry.com/news/20090512/newsletter.html

I started drinking a glass of coffee when i was in Baguio City 10 years ago. I was in college then and it was really cold in the mountaneous place in the northern part of Luzon, Philippines.

When i started working with my foreign bosses, that's when i began drinking 2 to 3 more mugs of coffee a day. That's a mixture of brewed and instant coffee.

It's addictive. It's dangerous. Some studies says drinking coffee weakens the bones. And i felt it within me...my bones.

Then instead of the water cleaning my body, i started feeling dizzy at some time and had been dehydrated.

I tried quitting. It's been actaully days or weeks now that i don't drink as much mugs as i can. But today, i had one. Yay...and my head begins to bother me.

Quit or no quit?

Lord, my body is Your temple. And i would like to stay healthy so You could use me in the ministry. Help me to take a really good care to this body. I am yours Lord. Coffee is just a thing in the world and it will pass away. It is vanity.

I would like to offer my body for the glory of my Lord and Savior. Willing to serve, willing to leave the things that are of this world.

Lord, have mercy.


1 Corinthians 6:19-20 (King James Version)

"What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's."

Can we Discern the Tongue

I always believed that whenever someone speaks in tongue in prayers, it should be interpreted by someone also.

We cannot judge, but we can discern whatever is the motives of the person.

Prayer does not require flowery words for God looks into our hearts. Whatever is the intent on the heart, it is the Lord who knew.

But people must understand what has been said or murmurings will follow. I heard people asking one to another what has been said because none understood. Is it on our language? Is it just to let others know that there's a tongue? Is it just an added thing in your prayer? Who knows?

When i heard the "tongue", i tried to understand it but to no avail. But i would like to know what does it mean.

Shalom everyone!!

1 Corinthians 14 (King James Version)
"1Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy.
2For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries.
3But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort.
4He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church.
5I would that ye all spake with tongues but rather that ye prophesied: for greater is he that prophesieth than he that speaketh with tongues, except he interpret, that the church may receive edifying.
6Now, brethren, if I come unto you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you, except I shall speak to you either by revelation, or by knowledge, or by prophesying, or by doctrine?
7And even things without life giving sound, whether pipe or harp, except they give a distinction in the sounds, how shall it be known what is piped or harped?
8For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle?
9So likewise ye, except ye utter by the tongue words easy to be understood, how shall it be known what is spoken? for ye shall speak into the air.
10There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none of them is without signification.
11Therefore if I know not the meaning of the voice, I shall be unto him that speaketh a barbarian, and he that speaketh shall be a barbarian unto me.
12Even so ye, forasmuch as ye are zealous of spiritual gifts, seek that ye may excel to the edifying of the church.
13Wherefore let him that speaketh in an unknown tongue pray that he may interpret.
14For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful.
15What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also: I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also.
16Else when thou shalt bless with the spirit, how shall he that occupieth the room of the unlearned say Amen at thy giving of thanks, seeing he understandeth not what thou sayest?
17For thou verily givest thanks well, but the other is not edified."
