When I Speak Your Name

Lyrics:

VERSE 1
Jesus, the most beautiful name of all names
Jesus, the only name that brings healing and strength
When I speak Your Name, mountains move, chains are loosed
When I speak Your Name, darkness flees, it has no hold on me


CHORUS
Jesus, the most beautiful name that I know
You’re the exalt- ed One
Jesus, You have the power alone
You lift the lone- ly one, Je- sus


VERSE 2
Jesus, the most wonderful name of all names
Jesus, the only name that brings freedom and hope
When I speak Your Name, mountains move, chains are loosed
When I speak Your Name, darkness flees, it has no hold on me

You lift the lone- ly one

You lift the lone- ly one, Je- sus

Be exalted, be exalted, be exalted higher and higher
Be exalted, be exalted, be exalted higher and higher
Be exalted, be exalted, be exalted higher and higher
Be exalted, be exalted, be exalted higher and higher

~~~ sung with the reality of who Jesus really is

~~~ Gods Holy presence inhabits the praises of his people, any wonder why those that are singing this song and those that are worshiping along are saturated with Gods Glory

Beauty is in the Eye of the Beholder

Sunrise: Isn't it beautiful to see how gracious God is
for bringing us another day to live and to love?

Shoes: This is an old shoes that has been made new or looked new
because of the help of shoemaster.
Beautiful for me coz this was given by my beautiful love.
Brought to me as an answered prayer.

Shirt printed with a shoutout: It just so unique for me,
so beautiful to see that we can make
God famous by wearing such thing.

No traffic: While most of the places
looks like cars bumping against each other,
here is the beauty of a place where
traffic does not resides or exist.

Reflection: I prefer seeing myself reflected on the field
than seeing myself infront of the mirror.
I appreciate much or more of me when in the shade,
no makeup, none that i can be
more beautiful than being lost in His presence.

Running Field: The beauty of green and red.
So calm. So neat.
Just run and chill. Hehe

Rice/Grain Field: Who doesn't want to be fed?
Who doesn't appreciate God's blessings and grace?

Dawn: The beauty of it's hopes and dreams.

Little surprises: beauty given to me on my 18th birthday.
I just like looking at it and thought about
my future kids as beautiful as it.

ABC/123: The beauty of alphabet and numbers.

For the things that is very important when we talk about beauty, im sorry that i dont have photos of it right now. But here are the list of things that is beautiful for me:

1. The love of God - i don't know how wide, deep, beautiful it is coz it is simply indescribable.
2. The gift of life - i don't like to cheat and get photos from flickrs or so, but this one is really beautiful for me. I should have put mom's photo of me when im still inside of her but i lost it.
3. My Books - that includes the Bible and some devotional ones that are precious to me. I am actually trying to collect as much as i can buy...just believing those are food for my spiritual.
4. Rain and rainbows - not much explanation coz they are both beautiful
5. Flowers - i already posted some of my favorite flowers on my previous post hehe.
6. Air - i don't know how to take photos of it. Does any of you knew? Please share how hehe
7. Family picture - it is a gift to have one. But as for me i wasn't able to scan mine...maybe for next more post hehe.
8. Pen and paper - i always see it beautiful to write down personal experiences and testimonies and then you can always reminisce the good times as well as the bad.
9. Sleep or rest - it is a gift.

I am just so blessed being blessed by God :)

After being awake from night til dawn today, i am so amazed on how the Lord strengthens me and gives me courage to do things i thought would not be possible for me to do and accomplished.

I was at the hospital the whole time, taking care of my sick aunt. Going to and fro, to the cashier back to the hospital's stockrooms for available medicines, and then outside to check for additional medicines.

Aunt got hospitalized because of her "spasms". Doctor says it is one of the effects of her mild stroke 12 years ago. She keeps on vomiting and says there's bits of waves inside her stomach. She needs sodium for her body plus potassium.

I am thankful that despite the weariness and lack of sleep or rest, i was able to work the whole day. Thank God for His provisions and strength.

Memory Verses

Strengthened with all might,
according to His glorious power,
unto all patience
and longsuffering with joyfulness

Inside the Courtroom

I don't know if it's a privilege to be invited inside the courtroom.

It's just not so comfortable sitting there and listening to a never-ending question and answer from the counsels and the witness/es.

SO today, im supposed to just have fun driving in our area and there this friend of mine asking me if i would like to experience the "courtroom".

Not wanting to upset him, i walk with him to the court.

Upon opening the courtroom's door, i have heard whisperings and i even heard the two opposing counsels laughing while talking. ( this is before the hearing started )

I began looking on the four corners of the courtroom. I saw the heaters....as well as the fan. Fan's turned off and heater on. I saw cabinets, huge ones, and it seems like it has on it files of cases finished as well as the still hanging ones.

There are wooden chairs the size doubled the benches at the park.

The judge came, and with him are those who will assist in writing (stenographer) and the one who will mark the documents as exhibits A to Z.

The lawyers are ready. Looking at the witness, i saw in her eyes fear and pain. I realized the witness is also the one who complain.

I looked up. Just hanging near the Judge's table are a prayer for the courtroom. I decided to copy it on my notebook. Here's what it says:

ECUMENICAL PRAYER FOR THE COURTS:

Almighty God, we stand in Your Holy Presence as our Supreme Judge. We humbly beseech You to bless and inspire us so that what we may think, say, and do will be in accordance with Your will.

Enlighten our minds, strengthen our spirits, and fill our hearts with fraternal love, wisdom and understanding so that we can be effective channels of truth, justice and peace in our proceedings today. Guide us in the path of righteousness for the fulfillment of Your greater glory. Amen.

Someday, i know the Lord will also Judge me before His Holy Court. He will be my Supreme Judge.

As it doesn't feel good to be in this earth's courtroom where they say "injustice prevails"...i know in God's Courtroom, everything will be fair.

I wanna sing in His Courts. All i would like to do there is to sing praises...unending worship to a God of Justice.

In His court, i will be comfortable because His Holy Presence is there. No fear. No Pain.

On Gossip

Gossip doesn't bring good things to either parties.

I hate it. I hate being judged by what i didn't do. And it became something that i did because people believed on the gossip and the gossiper.

The Bible tells us something about gossip and comparing to our experiences, everything is true.

Proverbs 11:13
A gossip betrays a confidence, but a trustworthy man keeps a secret.

Proverbs 16:28
A perverse man stirs up dissension, and a gossip separates close friends.

Proverbs 18:8
The words of a gossip are like choice morsels; they go down to a man's inmost parts.

Proverbs 20:19
A gossip betrays a confidence; so avoid a man who talks too much.

WANT MORE?

1 Timothy 5:13
Besides, they get into the habit of being idle and going about from house to house. And not only do they become idlers, but also gossips and busybodies, saying things they ought not to.

3 John 1:10
So if I come, I will call attention to what he is doing, gossiping maliciously about us. Not satisfied with that, he refuses to welcome the brothers. He also stops those who want to do so and puts them out of the church.

I dislike gossip with a fiery passion. It brings people down instead of building them up. If you have something to say about me, bring it to me, and not others. If you have a problem with someone else, bring it to them, don’t spread it around. Granted there is a big difference between gossip and seeking advice about someone or a situation.

Gossip can never be a good thing because it causes distress, it brings people down, it hurts, it tore down a person or even a family.

Stop!

Know God's purpose in your life. Do not say things against another person.

Love your neighbor as yourself.

Today's Photo that Amazes me

A girl name "jody" shared this one to me today.

She named the photo..."footprint on mother's womb"

How awesome.

God Our Rewarder

People rewards us for the things that we do that pleases them.

For example, we excel in algebra or we got an experiment that amused them or when we join a cheering squad and made it possible to fly up up high. We got praises from people when we do something different. When we show them what we've got and what we can give that benefited them.

Ok and then we think we do it ourselves. But when you know and remember, ('coz we ought to remember it) about the Creator and Giver of gifts, then the things you have isn't really yours and know that you ought not to please men but God.

As we give thanks to our Lord Jesus Christ for all His provisions....the talents and gifts and everything that we have...then the glory remains with Him.

I would like to thank ~hon~ for reminding each one of us that the Lord is our rewarder.

We should not boast over our uniqueness if it won't glorify God.

Today's reward for me includes:

1. A smile from my beautiful niece
2. A sweet smelling aroma of my favorite morning bread
3. No traffic hee hee
4. Got a message from a long lost friend that i love and missed
5. Project accepted...yipppeee
6. Free soup for me
7. Got the kindest cut of all
8. contact lens will soon be replaced
9. new coverings for my Bible
10. God gave me new shoes

Ok, these are material things.

On a more serious side. I would like to thank God for the following rewards:

1. The gift of having loyal and God-fearing friends
2. The morning sun after the heavy rains
3. A beautiful love
4. A wonderful family
5. God's enduring mercy and love
6. A peaceful life
7. Unstoppable blessings
8. Protection and Guidance
9. Courage to face the fight
10. God Himself

Thank you Lord for EVERYTHING.

Dose of Messages

When God is involved anything can happen.

Be open.

God has a beautiful way of bringing Good music out of a broken chords.

Desiring a Relationship

Christianity is not a religion, it's more of our relationship w/ Jesus Christ our God.

The Bible tells us God has always existed.

It's impossible for us to wrap our minds around it, that's why it takes faith.

Faith is being sure of what you hope for & certain of what you do not see.

I have faith that when I call God, He listens & answers even f I don't see Him.

Jesus has changed my outlook in life.

For someone to die for us means we are important and our life matters.

"Religious are those people who are INSIDE the Church but thinks about fishing. Spiritual are those who gone fishing but THINKS ABOUT GOD"
