Ann: A Girl Bigger Than Problems

“In this world ye shall have tribulations, but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world” (John 16:33)."


I want to testify about this close friend and colleague of mine. She's a woman of inspiration and of hope. Her name was Ann Brimon, a girl who looks down on problems as if she were standing on a mountain.


I first get in touch with Ann 3 years ago. She was a girl who always smiles and laugh, she never ran out of it as if she had an overflowing source of laughter. She always cracks jokes and laugh around like it's the end of the world. I never saw her sad or crying for real as if she never experience problems in life. She's the total optimistic and she's the happiest of all creature I ever knew.


Behind those tickling laughter and golden smiles she was a girl who is living her life the least and humblest among us friends. She lives in a rented shack which I think is just the size of our dining area, she had no brothers or sisters, and her mother died 3 years ago. She makes living through encoding on a shipping company and providesalong with the help of her aunt, for her father who had a lung disease and is incapable of working . Just around this September, her father fell worse in sickness and needed to be confined on the Lung Center for treatment. Everyday, her father's sickness got worse until her father loses hope. It was October 3, 2011 when her father died and she needed to pay for the bills that cost around 300,000 pesos. On that day, I called her on the phone and it was the first time I heard her cry. I felt grief and cried along with her voice on the phone. I then visited her father's wake (burol) the other day after the phone call. As I remember, all she do is smile, I cried but she still smile and laugh. It's like nothing happened at all. I knew on her heart she was happy because her father's struggle ended in peace but this is very unusual for a person who is left alone on her own at a young age of 23. I can tell you that I feel sadder than Ann when I saw her but she just made fun of it and she said to me that she already moved on about the incident yet I, just a friend, was more grieved than her.


She smiles a lot because she knows that everything was already conquered for her as said on the verse above. She realizes her blessings more than she acknowledges problems. She knows her standing with God and knows that she had friends that she can call brothers and sisters and that she knows she's not alone. Most of us can't realize these things. We always acknowledge problems more than realizing our blessings. We often think that we're alone when there's a God who always watch and is ever ready to help. A little problem often makes us upset and look grumpy all the time. Always think that there is a God who overcame everything for us and all we have to do is believe, acknowledge and rely on His power along with our efforts. Smile always because there is a God who gives you joy in the midst of tribulation and you know that He will never leave you nor forsake you and that problems are not your own. Let the life of our sister Ann be an encouraging inspiration to all of us.

There's more to this, today, the UN will vote for the partitioning of Israel to establish the Palestinian nation. Arab nations also plan to attack Israel and when we (the Christians) see these things, let's lift up our heads for our redemption is near.

Philippines Should Vote "NO" On Palestinian UN Vote (Israel's Partition for Palestine)


The Philippines is a nation of believers who accept Scriptures as Truth. Hence, a complete and correct perspective of the issues around the land of Israel goes beyond the purely secular, diplomatic, and political to include the scriptural.
The votation in the UN for a Palestinian state is a God-given opportunity for our nation to vote for or against God`s expressed will and purpose.
The Jews as a people are unique in that God chose them as His own treasure among all peoples and tongues. The Land of Israel is likewise uniquely chosen, unconditionally and irrevocably promised by God as an eternal possession to Abraham and to his descendants through Isaac, and to the Israelites through Jacob [Israel], Abraham`s grandson.
  • Genesis 15: 18
    In the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates...
  • Genesis 17:7-8
    I will give you and your descendants after you the land in which you are now foreigners, all the land of Canaan, as a permanent possession.
  • Genesis 35:10-12
    God said to him...`Your name shall no longer be called Jacob, but Israel shall be your name...And the land that I gave to Abraham and to Isaac, I will give to you and to your seed after you will I give the land.’
Jerusalem, in particular, is the city God Himself chose for His name to dwell.
  • 2 Chronicles 6:5-6
    ...but I have chosen Jerusalem that My name might be there...
  • Psalm 132:13-14
    For Adonai has chosen Zion; He has desired it for His habitation. This is my resting place forever and ever, here I will dwell, for I have desired it.
  • Psalm 122:6
    Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. May they prosper who love you.
Those nations that choose to go against Israel or to divide God’s land do so at their own peril, opening up their nations to God’s fierce judgment in the form of all kinds of disasters.
  • Zechariah 12:2-3; 9
    This is the message from the Lord, the Lord who spread out the skies, created the earth, and gave life to man. He says, "I will make Jerusalem like a cup of poison; the nations around her will drink and stagger like drunks. And when they besiege Jerusalem...I will make Jerusalem like a heavy stone...Any nation that tries to lift it will be hurt.
  • Zechariah 12:9
    When that day comes, I will seek to destroy all nations attacking Jerusalem.
  • Isaiah 60:12
    For the nation or kingdom that will not serve you (Israel) will perish; it will be utterly ruined.
  • Joel 3:2
    I will gather all nations and bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat. There I will enter into judgment against them concerning my inheritance, my people Israel, for they scattered my people among the nations and divided up my land.
Filipinos, as a people, “invested” in the kingdom of God when the Philippines supported the Jews during critical moments in their beleaguered history, and then in 1958, signed a treaty of friendship with the State of Israel.
  • In 1939, the Philippines was the only country in Asia to open its doors to Jews fleeing the Holocaust in Europe. As part of his Open Doors Policy, then President Manuel L. Quezon issued 10,000 visas for Jewish refugees, established a housing community for them in Marikina, and even donated a large portion of his personal estate in Mindanao for a farm settlement for them.
  • On November 29, 1947, the Philippines was the only Asian country to cast a “Yes” vote to approve UN Resolution 181 creating the State of Israel.
  • President Carlos Garcia signed a Treaty of Friendship between Israel and the Philippines in 1958.
  • We do not want to lose our standing with the God of Israel and find ourselves instead on a collision course with His expressed will and purpose.
Let us be forewarned: The Philippines was a signatory to the nowretracted Goldstone Report, which condemned Israel for alleged war crimes in Gaza. The United Nations released the report on September 15, 2009. Exactly nine (9) days later, on September 24, 2009, Super-Typhoon Ondoy struck the Philippines with horrific devastating force that left almost the entire country staggering and reeling with hundreds dead and missing, entire towns of people homeless, and billions of pesos lost in infrastructure and property damages. In Hebrew Gematria, the number 9 represents judgment.
Regarding His people, Israel, God declares in His Word both a blessing and a curse that we would do well to heed: “And I will bless those who bless you, and the one who curses you I will curse. And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.” (Genesis 12:3).

Seeing Beyond the Naked Eye and Living Beyond the Flesh

“The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are good, your whole body will be full of light. But if your eyes are bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness!" - Matthew 6:22-23
The eye, it is a very fascinating part of our body. It gathers the light and converts it into brain signals so that it can be a picture. Without the light, we cannot see because light is the substance that our eyes use in order to create a picture. Our spirit also do have its own eyes, eyes to see the spiritual realm. It also collects light and turns it into a picture. Without light, it cannot also see.

Now if we see by the Spirit then we would have seen everything that the angels are doing, the unseen evidences created by faith and also the disgusting works of Satan, yes, the disgusting works of Satan. Do we know that most of the human population are spiritually blind? Why is that so? Because Satan does not want a person to see what he is doing, he does not want you to see that he is stealing from you, he does not want you to see that he is killing you and destroying you. He lures us into his temptations and what we think is "good" is actually a trap. Of course those blinded persons cannot see it as a trap and that's just how Satan works. Now, one key to a good spiritual life is by opening our spiritual eye.

And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing. The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel that displays the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. For what we preach is not ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus’ sake. For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of God’s glory displayed in the face of Christ.
     But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. - 2 Corinthians 4:3-7

Now if we see in spirit CLEARLY, we would just realize how bad this world is because of Satan. We would see how they work and we will be disgusted to what we could see. We would see how our unbeliever friends are getting severed by the demonic spirits he/she posses. Of course we should have compassion over them. Seeing beyond the flesh is what makes Christians extraordinary.

Seeing in the spirit requires spiritual healing and spiritual light. Spiritual healing begins when we accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior. He opens our spiritual eyes together with the rebirth of our spirit. With His love in us, we CAN now start to see. BUT how can we tell what is in the spiritual world when we does not even know one color? All we know is black and no more since we are born spiritually blind in this world. How can you differentiate "spiritual green" from "spiritual yellow" if you did not yet learned the "spiritual color wheel"? The solution: start LEARNING BY THE SPIRIT! Read the Word of God because He is the light gets into your spiritual eyes and reflects every color in the spiritual realm. With your eyes open and with the knowledge to distinguish spiritual colors, we can grow spiritually with ease.

Color is the quality of an object with respect to light. Now, God is our light, and everything in the spirit (its quality, its value, its virtue, its character, etc.) will be judged according to this Light. By this light we can see clearly in the spiritual realm. THE SPIRITUAL REALM IS THE "TRUER" WORLD, it is where we should really live in. It is more real than the physical world we know. Seeing in this world is seeing in our more real life and living in this world requires us also to speak in spiritual language (speaking in tongues), learning in the spirit, bathing in the spirit, eating in the spirit, sleeping in the spirit (soaking) and desiring every spiritual gift that God is more than willing to give us if we truly desire.

I hope that this post is an EYE OPENER to everyone. (Please don't forget to eat, drink and sleep in the physical world :P).

I would also recommend this page which also discusses about spiritual blindness.

The Successful Revolution: Breaking Strongholds and Changing Your Life With a Hope

I want to share something about breaking strongholds, not just within ourselves, but also for our environment. Pastor Keith in LWCC told us about Kingdom System and I just want to impart my insight on it.

The Three Nations

Our lives can be compared to a nation, a nation budding on its own, innocent and young. There are two other nations. These nations are already established before you even when you were not born. The first nation is a Colonizing Nation.This nation searches for lands and occupies them for itself, just like when Spain colonized Philippines. You, as a nation, received this colonizing nation because of their offers: wealth, knowledge, technology, leisure and everything and as exchange, they get something from you as well: your crops, resources and produce. Little that you know, this nation turned you into a slave nation, getting more from your resources but you still need its benefits because you cannot stand on your own. Little parts of this slave nation now starts to long for freedom. Some will start a revolution and this revolution gives little hope for the slave nation. But the colonizing nation knew that someday there will be a revolution, they already planned ahead for this so that the slave nation can do nothing. This slave nation needs help. This nation now would choose whether to stay as slaves or to seek help from the third nation (sometimes these slave nations offer themselves as vessels for the colonizing nation).

Now the third nation plays its role (when the slave nation chose to seek its help). The third nation is a Kingdom Nation. This nation is stronger than the colonizing nation and this nation offers freedom from slavery, blesses them, establishing an army there and equips them for battle. Seeking help to this greater nation requires great guts and offering the King your loyal heart. Indeed there will be a war between this two nations, together with the little rebels of your own (the little hope inside of you). For sure, the Kingdom Nation will win and the slave nation will no longer be a slave but a colony of the Kingdom Nation.

The Meaning

The above story pertains to three certain characters. The slave nation is us, the colonizing nation is Satan and the kingdom nation was God. Do we know that everything in this world was dominated by Satan when Adam gave his right by submitting to his temptation? Now Satan uses the nations that he dominated to colonize others. How can it be? Well I can give some examples.

1.) The people around you - The people around you affects who you become. Your parents teach you, your friends influence you and your brothers also. When these people are colonized by Satan, more likely that you become colonized as well. Remember this: Satan always look for new nations to colonize, even the infants.

2.) Your environment and lifestyle - What you see in TV can also colonize you, even the games you play (I have written an article about a certain game here), or even the things we see. This are some tools that Satan uses to invade your mind to a state of slavery to your own environment.

There are many ways that Satan uses to invade you. By these things, he might get a foothold of you then eventually getting a stronghold of you, capable of even turning you to a monster. All of us, at first, should break these strongholds and break others strongholds. These strongholds might be smoking, drinking, pornography, adultery, drugs, cheating, gambling, stealing, or the words we speak. It is hard to get rid of it, and these strongholds can really get a hold of us like a steel chain. We become slaves to it, even if we want to get out of it, our flesh continues to seek it and do it all over again. Some people think they are free to the extend that they can do everything they want like the examples I have given - these people are actually slaves to sin and to Satan, they do whatever Satan wishes them to do. These people are completely colonized, even though they have some resistance, Satan knows it before you could ever know.

Breaking Through Your Own Nation

Getting rid of these strongholds and fortresses in us needs a much stronger force and I guess, by now, you should have known. This is the third nation. Our little rebels (the hope of change inside of us) needs to call out for help to this Kingdom Nation. Here comes salvation and faith. We should accept Jesus Christ as our King, Lord and Savior of our lives (to know more about this clicke here) and then we should let His will be done so that His kingdom might come (Matt 6;10). In that way, He can revive the nation that once was a slave. (Matt 6:33)

Colonizing Other Nation

By accepting God's offer, we should let His will be done in us so that His kingdom might come upon us and also to our environement and ALSO to the people around us. Before we can breakthrough other's strongholds, we should break ours first. We should not let any region of our body to be a spy or headquarters of the enemy. Our whole body should act as a nation with one desire, to love God above all and follow Him. If we are fully committed to Him, He will equip us and bless us and the other slave nations can be easily saved because we are in a much greater force (Romans 8:31).

The Revolution

Now to explain more, the little rebels I am talking about (if you haven't guessed), are the desire to change in someone's heart. I believe inside every person's heart, there is a hope for change and a hope for a better life. This hope is suppressed by the strongholds inside because the devil does not want some uprising or some kind of rebellion against his rulership inside someone. This revolution inside of each and everyone is the fuel for change and it should be directed to the true God so that it can be useful for someone.

The revolution should always continue in us because the devil is always there to plant some little culprits in your nation. Revolution means "turning", it means change. The earth continues to revolve endlessly, and we also need to revolve endlessly. We are being changed from glory to glory. Remember, everyday is a battle and we should not let the enemy gain a foothold on ourselves.

Final Toughts

We should have come to this conclusion, Satan is everywhere, he attacks and gains control over someone. People around us can be harm or for our good. REMEMBER that his offer will enslave you. REMEMBER that God offers a good future for His people so we should forget about what the devil offers. FINALLY, we should change our ways so that we can be perfected for God's use, breaking other's strongholds and setting his people free. Let HIS kingdom come to everyone!

Social Revolution: Social Networking Sites

Facebook, Twitter, Multiply, Orkut, Tumblr, Google+ and Friendster are just examples of social networking websites that changed how we view the world today. These social networking websites simplified our way of communication through the internet. It also drew us closer to friends by staying in touch with each other through updates. Through these websites, we can also show our lifestyle to almost anyone: our ways of thinking, political views, religion, who someone is interested to or even our simple likes and dislikes.

A week ago, here in Reborn Youth, we celebrated our first anniversary and we entitled it "La Revolucion" (The Revolution). That revolution is about changing our lifestyle, turning 180 degrees from the wrong path that leads to destruction and that also includes our social lifestyle as well as our cyber activities. I have already written an article about a particular computer game here but this time I will focus about social networking sites and how most people use it.

Here in the Philippines, Facebook addiction is now more popular the cellphone addiction but before that was Friendster addiction. I can see everyone now had their own accounts on these websites and people are getting addicted into it. I had a friend who stays online for hours, even late at night, just staring, updating, chatting, commenting, liking and customizing her Facebook account. This seems too much but it really happens to most Filipinos.

NOW, STRAIGHT TO THE POINT. We are talking about a revolution. Romans 12:2 says "Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.". IT MATTERS WHAT YOU SHARE ON THIS SOCIAL NETWORKING SITES!!! I saw many women display their bodies as display pictures and some men, likewise. Some others share everything, from brushing their teeth to almost sharing what should be kept in private. Kenneth Cole, a famous clothing designer once quoted "If we expose too much online, are we virtually naked?", which, for me, is almost literal. It also covers what our personal info contains (and this is also for your own security). These things are garbage, online garbage. Do you remember what GIGO and WYSIWYG means? It means "Garbage In, Garbage Out" and "What You See Is What You Get". Sharing your garbage means others also get garbage. Your waste should be waste and it should not get to others. The devil works this way in this social networking sites.

USE IT TO YOUR ADVANTAGE.  We can share the word of God through these websites and win souls to Christ. Now what others now see from you is what they get. Our online accounts can also be a living testimony when others see that your profile gives glory to God. Like the pages that are wholesome and noteworthy and avoid pages that stimulates our lust or destructive to others. Me, personally, I use my account to share my blog posts (like this) so that it could reach more readers and turn them to Christ. We can also use it for businesses that are not harmful. I have a friend who turned his account into an online store which is good and I was reminded of the parable of the talents. Let us start cleaning up our accounts and use it to glorify God.

For final remarks, too much communication through social networking sites depreciates our real world social skills, we should always keep in touch personally. This will also limit ourselves to living only in our own cyber world when we got too much of it. ALSO, please don't be a full time CYBER-CHRISTIAN. It is always better if someone sees you as a walking testimony rather than a cyber testimony and it is more better if you are serving God not only in the cyber world but also in the real world. Remember, too much is too bad.

This is only a part of the revolution. We are in the process of changing every time, from glory to glory unto perfection.

Nearing Midnight (End of Times, Second Coming of Christ) [Updated]

Matthew 24:32-34

“Now learn this parable from the fig tree: When its branch has already become tender and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is near. 33 So you also, when you see all these things, know that it is near—at the doors! 34 Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means pass away till all these things take place. 35 Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away."



The fig tree became tender and put forth leaves... -- May 14, 1948, when the United Nations recognized Israel as a nation.



Summer is near... -- The Rapture / Marriage of the Lamb to His Bride, the Church.



When you see all these things... -- The signs of the end-times.



This generation will by no means pass away till all these things take place -- The present generation, our generation!



How do I know we are this last generation?



Here's wisdom from the Spirit of God. I got this revelation not from the internet but from the leading of the Spirit.



 Psalm 90:10

The length of our days is seventy years

or eighty, if we have the strength; yet their span is but trouble and sorrow, for they quickly pass, and we fly away.



Why 70 years?



7 is God’s perfect number.



 Israel’s Exile to Babylon was 70 years.



Israel’s Temple was Destroyed by Romans in 70 AD.



Israel’s Restoration as God’s chosen nation will be 70 years. From May 14, 1948 when Israel was born as a nation until May 14, 2011, the nation will be 63 years old.



The remaining 7 years will be for the 7-year tribulation period to complete God's time-plan for Israel's restoration. Tribulation is not only to pour down God's wrath on man's rebellion but to give Israel the chance to see their need for the true Messiah whom they rejected when He came to earth the first time.



With 2011 being the 63rd year of Israel, we have little time left to prepare for the Rapture of the Bride. I can almost hear the Watchman's midnight call, 'Behold, the bridegroom is coming; go out to meet him!' (Matthew 25:6)



Look, now is the 11th hour.  Can't you see, it's 2011! The bridegroom is 'seemingly' delayed. But He's coming at midnight -- when most people are fast asleep! He's coming like a thief in the night for those who don't watch and pray. But for those who watch and pray, although it will be at midnight, it will not come as a surprise. I'm not setting a date. I'm just saying 2011 is the 11th hour. It's nearing midnight!



2 Peter3:8 'But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. 9 The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.'



Why at midnight? It is because the Lord wants to extend His grace period up to the last minute of the remaining time to give His people the chance to get ready for His appearing. He doesn't want anyone to perish. You see, what a gracious and ever-patient God we have!



He is coming for those who love His appearing! He's coming for His Bride who is excited and full of longings to see Him. The Bridegroom wants a Bride who is eager to meet Him, and to be with Him forever! He is looking for the fire of the First Love. He is not coming for a lukewarm Bride.



2 Timothy 4:8

Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day--and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing.



Yes, it's almost midnight.  And He will not and cannot extend the grace period past midnight! As soon as God's clock strikes 12:00, the Watchman will sound the alarm -- whether we are ready or not.



Matthew 25:5 “Now while the bridegroom was delaying, they all got drowsy and began to sleep. 6 But at midnight there was a shout, ‘Behold, the bridegroom! Come out to meet him.



Church, come out to meet Him! Come out from compromises. Come out from idolatry. Come out from lukewarmness. Come out from fleshly self. Come out from false teachings. Come out from the world! If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.  Remember that friendship with the world is enmity with God.



I can see the stage being set for the wedding of the true King of kings and Lord of lords to His pure Bride! I can see a much glorious future ahead of us. Well, I have so many things to write to you but I have limited time to do so. The Spirit of God is revealing a lot these days.  In the last days, God will pour out His Spirit in greater measure. The glory of the latter rain is greater than the former rain. Hallelujah!  Right now, my heart is pounding! Oh, the culmination of the greatest story of the Ages is unraveling in our time. This is it! This is the last generation!



I can see the stage being set for the climax of the Plan of the Ages to unfold.  Woe to those who don't regard the Lord's warning signs! Woe to those who scoff! Whether they believe God's Word or not, God's Word will still prevail. Blessed are those who have hearing ears, seeing eyes, and yielded hearts.  If you have ears to hear, let them hear what the Spirit is saying to the churches.



I can see the angels rejoicing to meet the Bride! I can see the blessed hope in the Bridegroom's eyes! I can see the end to all these earthly filth! I can see the coming of the new heaven and the new earth!



Can you see what I see?

Bakit Ganito ang Nangyayari sa Mundo

resources3.news.com.au
Kahirapan! Terorismo! Tsunami! Lindol! Bagyo! Rebelyon sa Middle East! Giyera! Problema sa Droga! Imoralidad! Tag-gutom! Patayan! Nakawan! Kawalan ng Trabaho! Korapsyon sa Gobyerno! Karahasan sa Loob Mismo ng Tahanan! Mga Pekeng Kristo! Mga Huwad na Tagapangaral ng Bibliya!

Alam mo bang ang mga pangyayaring ito ay ipinahayag ng Panginoong Jesukristo nang Siya ay namuhay dito sa lupa? Alam ng Panginoong Jesus na darating ang panahong ito sa mundo. At binigyan Niya tayo ng habilin para sa panahong ito.

Ayon sa Bibliya, (Mateo 24:3-8) "3 Noon, si Jesus ay nasa Bundok ng mga Olibo. Habang siya'y nakaupo roon, palihim siyang tinanong ng kanyang mga alagad, "Kailan po ba mangyayari ang mga sinabi ninyo? Ano po ang magiging palatandaan ng inyong muling pagparito at ng katapusan ng mundo?" 

4 Sumagot si Jesus, "Mag-ingat kayo upang hindi kayo mailigaw ninuman! 5 Maraming paparito sa pangalan ko at magpapanggap na sila ang Cristo, at marami silang maililigaw. 6 Makakarinig kayo ng mga labanan at makakabalita ng mga digmaan sa iba't ibang dako. Ngunit huwag kayong mababahala dahil talagang mangyayari ang mga iyon, bagama't hindi pa iyon ang katapusan ng mundo. 7 Maglalaban-laban ang mga bansa at gayundin ang mga kaharian. Magkakaroon ng taggutom at lilindol sa maraming lugar. 8 Ang lahat ng mga ito'y pasimula pa lamang ng mga paghihirap na tulad sa isang babaing nanganganak.”  Mateo 24:3-8 

Ang mga kaguluhang nangyayari ngayon sa mundo ay mga palatandaan ng muling pagparito ng ating Panginoong Jesus at ng katapusan ng mundo. Ang Bibliya ay makapangyarihang aklat. Ang mga sinasabi rito ay totoong Salita ng Banal na Diyos! Paniwalaan man natin ito o hindi, ang mga pahayag sa Bibliya ay tiyak na magaganap! Ano ang dapat nating gawin?

Noong malapit nang dumating ang panahon ng paglilingkod ni Jesus sa lupa, nangaral si Juan Bautista. Ito ay makikita sa Mateo 3: 1 “Nang mga panahong iyon, dumating si Juan na Tagapagbautismo sa ilang ng Judea at nagsimulang mangaral. 2 Ganito ang kanyang sinasabi, "Magsisi na kayo at talikuran ang inyong mga kasalanan, sapagkat malapit nang dumating ang kaharian ng langit!"

3 Si Juan ang tinutukoy ni Propeta Isaias nang sabihin niya, Ito ang pahayag ng isang taong sumisigaw sa ilang: "'Ihanda ninyo ang daraanan ng Panginoon, gumawa kayo ng mga tuwid na landas na kanyang lalakaran!'"  

Malapit na ang muling pagparito ng Panginoong Jesus. Siya’y darating upang hatulan ang mundo at ang mga kasalanan ng tao!  Hahatulan muna ang mundo at ang mga kasalanan ng tao bago ang katapusan ng mundo. Maaring sabihin ng iba, “Hindi mangyayari ‘yan! Matagal nang sinasabi ‘yan pero di naman natutupad!”

Ang tanong, “Hindi mo ba nakikita ang mga nagsisigawang palatandaang sinabi ni Jesus? Ang lindol at tsunami sa Japan ay isa lamang sa maraming palatandaan. Paano kung bukas makalawa ay dumating na ang Panginoong Jesus? Anong hatol ang sasabihin Niya sa iyo?” O kung hindi pa naman dumating ang Panginoon, tiyak na darating din ang araw ng iyong paglisan sa mundo. Batid natin ang ating kaarawan ngunit di natin batid ang araw ng ating paglisan. Langit o impyerno lamang ang patutunguhan ng kaluluwa ng tao. Ang pagliligtas ay nasa Diyos. Ang pagsisisi at pagtalikod sa kasalanan ay sa tao. Ngayon na ang araw ng iyong pagliligtas!

Ito lang ang gagawin mo, kapatid: Isuko ang buhay kay Jesus, taimtim na humingi ng tawad sa mga pagkakasala, anyayahan Siyang maghari sa iyong buhay at magsimulang mamuhay nang ayon sa Kanyang kabanalan at katuwiran. Pag-aralan ang Bibliya sapagkat ito ang Kanyang Salita. Sundin ito at ipamuhay.

Sinabi ni Jesus, “Ako ang daan, ang katotohanan, at ang buhay. Walang makakapunta sa (Diyos) Ama kundi sa pamamagitan ko” (Juan 14:6). Ang kaligtasan ay tanging sa pamamagitan ng pangalan ng Panginoong Jesukristo lamang. Amen.

Maaaring magsimba sa Life in the Word Christian Church, #3 Ninang Virginia St., BF Homes Ph 1, Novaliches, Caloocan City upang lubos mong maunawaan ang kasalukuyang panahon at ang paghahanda para sa darating na paghuhukom. Maaari mo ring sundan ang mga turo sa Facebook: LWCC Reborn Youth Community. God bless you! :)

Laminin - A Marvel (Video)

 Colossians 1:17 says "In Him  [Christ] all things hold together"

Here is a video where Louie Giglio is teaching about some protein molecule called laminin which happened to be shaped like a cross. Laminin here is just a representation of Christ who holds His own body, the church. Laminin is not a biblical fact but it sure is a great inspiration for us. Watch and enjoy.

Homosexuality Should not be Justified, Homosexuality is Perversion

Last night as I was watching 24 oras (nightly news show, GMA 7), I was shocked to see that being a homosexual person was being justified by the church here in the Philippines. One priest said that being gay, dressing in other gender's clothing, is not a sin but it will be when one commits intercourse with the same sex. How am I grieved by these news. One gay said also like this: "We should not be discriminated  because this is the way God created us". Does God created a homosexual according to His own image? When we were born, we are male and female, even the birth certificate tells us that we are male and female, there's no bi or lesbian or gay or transgender! I hate Lady GaGa's new song entitled Born This Way. It perverts the truth about creation of man. It entices its listeners to continue on living their life and tells them that we are insecured about them. There's a line there saying:
No matter gay, straight or bi lesbian, transgendered life I'm on the right track, baby I was born to survive No matter black, white or beige chola or orient made I'm on the right track, baby I was born to be brave 
I'm beautiful in my way 'Cause God makes no mistakes I'm on the right track, baby I was born this way 
Lady GaGa here clearly perverts the meaning of the creation. God does not make mistakes but people do! It is just a matter of choosing right from wrong, to become a homosexual or to continue living upright. Homosexuality is Satan's tool. He uses people to tell us that it is okay to sin and  he makes us believe that it is the truth. If you want to see a full view of the lyrics just click here. Please exercise good judgement when reading the lyrics.

The Bible addressed to clear that many times. In the book of Genesis, He said that God created them man and woman and there was no homosexuals. If one persists to claim that he is a gay or she is a lesbian, then they omit the fact that they were male or female and then completely ignores the truth which is against the truth of God. God's wrath is upon the wicked. He showed us an example on how He is being grieved by these when He destroyed the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah. These cities were so pervert that they perform homosexuality, intercourse with animals, intercourse with the same sex. God burned them to the ground, none of their city was left and they were pulverized by the wrath of God. 1 Corinthians 6:8-10 says:
 8Nay, ye do wrong, and defraud, and that your brethren.
9Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, 10Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. 
The New International Version says it more clearly:
8Instead, you yourselves cheat and do wrong, and you do this to your brothers.9Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders 10nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. 
What If You're Already A Homosexual? 

There's a cure if you're already one. Most cases of becoming gay comes from the lack of the father image. If you lack the affection and an example of a father, there's a Father that really cares for you. He is the one watching you all of your life, He just waits for you to turn your ears and eyes to Him. He is saying that if you confess your sins, He is faithful and just to forgive you (1 John 1:9). Repent so that you can have a new start with the Lord (Acts 3:19). If you believe that you are born a homosexual, there's still time, you can be born a man with a fresh start, be born again, not in the flesh, but in the spirit that is inclined to the will of God (John 3:3-6). Jesus wants you to be like Him. He said that we should follow His example. Exercise yourself on living the right way with your gender: if you're a man, be a real man, and if you're a woman, so be it. Read the word of God and pray everyday. It sure will help because if you do so, the Holy Spirit will give you the wisdom and the conviction to know what is wrong and what is right. Remember this: With God, nothing is impossible.


In closing, I just want you to share this verse.
"For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh." - Ephesians 5:31
This is the only kind of marriage God allowed in the bible. Desire to have the perfect wife if you are a man and desire the perfect husband if you're a woman. With God's help, nothing is impossible.

Compromising Christians

Compromising Christians are those Christians that are mixing up two different things, they know what is right but mix it with doing what is wrong. Sadly, many Christians are compromising. The world today is affected by centuries of compromising. If no one compromises, the world today will retain its values since Jesus Christ is still walking here on earth. Compromising covers up a large array of definitions but we will tackle here about some key definitions. Compromising is as simple as disobedience and it is taking sin lightly.


Simple Things Matter. Did you know that playing  ungodly music is already a compromise? Listening to songs of this world is a very dangerous place for your ears. Watching pagan, satanic, immoral, filthy or ungodly movies or television shows or videos are also the likes. Magazines, reading materials, whatever you set before your eyes or ears that are not acceptable to God, then you are already compromising.

Don't Keep It. Walking on a store selling pornographic magazines and not objecting or speaking to the owner about it is already a compromise. Well I know it sounds like "heavy" but there is another way: pray about it and when you do it should come with an action because faith without action is nothing. Having also the opportunity to share salvation when you are being convicted is a compromise, you have their blood in your hands.

Bribing Faith. You have a friend who is not a Christian, you invited him to the church then he said like this, "I'll come with you if you come with me first to the bar", then you come with him so that you can make him go with you to the church. It's already a compromise.

What Comes Out. You use your tongue to worship God and you also use it in the same manner when cracking dirty jokes, gossiping, trash talking. We are held accountable for every idle word we say (Mat. 12:36). Singing ungodly songs is the same.

From Evil Hands to Yours. Buying items that came from thieves (piracy) is a compromise. A Christian should not promote these activities instead fight against them. If you found it enjoying because buying stolen items are much cheaper, you already forgot that God is exceeding in riches and can provide your needs and desires (Psalm 37:4)

There are too many examples to cite. I like to suggest a webpage and it shows a large example of Compromising Christians. Here's the link: http://www.jamesrussellpublishing.biz/compromise.html

I hope after reading this we have learned how these things are taken seriously by the Lord. His standards are so high that He consider hatred as murder and lust as adultery. He is a God of serious orders but He is also a God who rewards those that obey Him with blessings that overtake and overflow. Obedience is a must.

On God's Perfect Time

Everything will happen on God’s perfect time. He is God and He knows the best for His children. All we need to do is to put our trust in Him.
God is really good. He gave us freedom to do what we want to do. But Paul said “you can do anything” –but not everything is good for you. And even though “you are allowed to do anything,” you must not become a slave to anything. We should use our freedom to give God glory. He created you not to waste your time on the things that will hurt Him.
God would not give us the things we want if we are not able. He is our Father and He will give us what is right for us. If we put our trust in Him let His will not our will be done. His ways is perfect.
Jesus is God but He lay down His life for us so that we could have a eternal life. Everytime that we ignore His love for us we hurt Him. No one in this world could do what Jesus has done for us.
When I read the book entitled “When God writes my love story” it really affects my life. Especially, in my love life. As I read every chapter, it inspire me to trust God in that aspect of my life. It will never be too late if we will be faithful and patiently waiting for His will. At the right time God will give us everything that we need if He could see us that we are able to receive it.
Wait so that we could get the best. All that is worth waiting for is worth having for. Let’s put our trust in God. He is God the creator of heaven and earth. He has a great plan for everyone.
the ways of a man seems right but at the end DESTRUCTION. We should not waste our time on things that we will not gave us benefit for what we’re doing.
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding in all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make your path straight.

Jason Upton's Angelic Testimony on the Song "Fly"

Now here's a really cool testimony about angels singing with people in worship. Jason Upton is an American Christian singer, songwriter and musician and he even has his own record label Key of David Ministries. During a tour at a college auditorium, when singing the song Fly, there was these angelic voices singing with him very audibly while he was the only one singing (without the backup singers). The testimony is on the first video after the break, and the recording at the second one. And by the way, it is not Jason who is speaking on the testimony, I believe he is one of his team.

The Power of Words Over Water

Can water be affected by what we say? Dr. Masaru Emoto, a Japanese scientist believes so and he has proof. Dr. Emoto took water droplets, exposed them to various words, music, and environments, and froze them for three hours. He then examined the crystal formations under a dark field microscope and he took photographs. The results were totally mind-blowing.

Here's a photo of ordinary prayer without any prayer spoken over it. The molecular structure is in disarray.

The photo below is water after the prayer was said. It’s simply breathtaking. (I now have a great respect for praying before meals! More on this later.)
Dr. Emoto also exposed water to Heavy Metal music. Here’s how it looks like. Looks sad if you asked me. It have some wild radial streaks in it.
Here’s water exposed to classical music and folk dance music. Looks much better, right?
Next, Dr. Emoto stuck a piece of paper with these words: “You make me sick. I will kill you.” Here’s how the frozen water droplets looks like under the microscope…
Below is how water looked like with the words “Love” over it. The difference is amazing.
This is polluted water...
This is water from Lourdes, France. Utterly beautiful, right?


WAIT A MINUTE!!!

Aren't you made up of water?

Yes! 72%-75% of your body is made up of water. Imagine how your words affect the water? It also affects your own body! When you say, "I'm a failure", or "I'm hopeless", or "I won't get well", imagine how these words weaken your health.

Make a choice to say the best words ot there. Say often, "I'm wonderful", and "I''m beautiful", and "I'm God's child", and "God has a great plan for my life!"

It's not only the water. Dr. Emoto also experimented with cooked rice. He placed one cup of cooked rice in two airtight jars. On one jar, he wrote, "I love you", and on the other, "You fool". Eveyday for 30 days, Dr. Emoto would say these words to each jar of rice.

After 30 days, the "I love you" rice was still white. But the "You fool" rice was so rotten, it was black. How can you explain this? Just as a side note: When I was a child, my mother taught me to pray before meals. Now I realize it wasn't just a nice thing to do. When I pray over my meal, I know a material transformation takes place in the molecular level of the food that I pray for. I say, "Be blessed'" to the water and food on the table---and I expect it to be blessed.

People think that words are just a medium of communication. What we don't know is that our words instantly commences its function. It is our faith that makes it real -- what we say (and believe it) literally comes to life. Proverbs 18:21 says "The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit." God also made the heavens and the earth through His word. Jesus said to the fig tree to be withered and it withered. Our words are more than what we actually think so be careful and choose what you say because it may affect everything.

Ushersing: Least Ministry

I was moved suddenly to tell you something about the ushers in the church. Every Sunday when I walk into the church gates, I am welcomed by a band of ushers simultaneously. The hospitality in our church makes anyone happy before entering the worship hall. These ushers are composed mostly of the elders in the church and the eldest is Mommy Eden who is very well treated with respect.

The Usher Inside the Church

Ushers are the least recognized ministry inside the church because they just look like simple people who will greet you when you come in and come out of the church. This is a big mistake if we underestimate this ministry, in fact, they are one of the biggest ministry a church should give focus.

The ministry of ushering does not require a skilled individual and all of us can be an usher even if it's not our ministry. All we need is attitude, an attitude of hospitality and brotherly love. We Filipinos are coined to be hospitable people and we as Christians should be the most hospitable. Considering the story of Elijah and the widow in 1 Kings 17:7-16, the widow gave all that she had been left for Elijah and she was then blessed and her jars are filled with many. We should be like the widow, even if we have nothing left, we should still show the light of the Word who is Jesus Christ upon us through this kind of hospitality inside the church. I have a true to life story:

My father is working in South Korea and he attends regularly to a church there. When he got home for a vacation, he showed me some of the pictures of their church and their church look amazing and the structure was very beautiful. Then he told me that that church was once a very small church with a small number of attenders. In my mind, that was usual to churches because all churches started small. But this church's story is a lot different than I imagined.

That church was a small church with very hospitable members. Actually, they have no ushers because everyone is an usher. One Sunday, a very old man was walking outside the streets when he suddenly heared the church's music. He entered the church and he was welcomed by members gladly and treated him as a special guest, though he is not a Christian. The old man became a regular attender in the church and he was very glad about the people of the church. One time the old man talked to the pastor and he said that one day the church will own the large land in front of their church and the pastor just didn't believed.

During offerings, the old man would give his whole wallet out and throw it to the offering basket. The old man was actually an owner of a large shipping company in South Korea! Every time he goes to church he just walks but his bodyguards are watching him from afar in disguise. He bought the large land in front of the church and entitled it to the church. The church suddenly became a very great church in Korea.

As Christians, we should all have the heart of an usher. Although the Bible doesn't say anything direct about ushering, Jesus, our great teacher, is the greatest example. He had welcomed us into His kingdom even if we're not deserving.

Being the Love Hand of God

The Bible doesn't say much about ushers in the church but having the example of Jesus, all of us should have the heart to usher to one another especially to new members or visitors in the church. It's almost like the evangelism ministry. The ushers are the hand of God that draws people closer to the church and it shows love much more than any other ministry in the church. Being welcomed into the Kingdom of God is a very exciting feeling -- to be loved, and to be accepted though we're sinners. Remember that we are the children of God and those children should be the first to welcome the visitors (unbelievers, believers, etc.).

Being welcome to one another (openness) also prevents members of the church from backsliding, thus, it supports one another on the love of God. It also promotes brotherly love where it becomes a firm foundation of the church. All of us should be a reachable help as God has gave His Son for us and welcomed us into His presence.

Should A Christian Vote?

"SHOULD A CHRISTIAN VOTE?" - This is a fairly asked question among Christians today but it is an intriguing question that is still unanswered.

For me, there is nothing wrong with not voting and voting. Voting is for the betterment of our country and if not voting is your means for the betterment of the country, it's up to you if you'll vote or not and being a Christian is not really a hindrance in voting.

There is no such verse or passage in the Bible that says something wrong about voting. Voting is not a sin, it is a gift for the people, a chance to speak and a chance for a change. God has given us the wisdom and we, as Christians, should use it in voting. We should clearly know who are we voting for and why. Ask wisdom from the Lord and He will give it freely (James 1:5).

Some Christians disagree with voting. They said that when Jesus is still living on the earth, He did not vote. Yes, it's true. But remember that He is God and He had perfect free will. He doesn't even have a need to vote because He can elect anyone He wants. "With God all things are possible" and when He said ALL it is really a big ALL and nothing has exception. Christians don't vote just because Jesus didn't vote or they are saying that they are hindering the will of God if they'll vote. The will of God will never be put to existence without a medium and we are that medium.

Not voting is also not wrong, remember that God has given us free-will. If praying for the people is your choice then go for it but still you can vote, just remember to register before registration closes. Praying for the leaders is a good choice but it can be better done when we vote for the right leader (which is through wisdom and revelation of God). We can also pray in tongues to get the most out of it (suggested best) but still voting is putting it into action. If you did not vote, you just lost a once-in-six-years opportunity to change a government. Your one-in-a-million vote is a very important factor.

Now, voting should not be a big issue in the Church. It will not guarantee salvation. Voting is an instrument for building a better nation but without God in your actions it are nothing. Do everything unto the Lord.

Faithful and Loyal, So What's the Difference?

Recently, I have received this text message from a friend of mine:
Know the difference between loyal and faithful? A faithful person don't have time to get attracted with others. His/her attention is exclusively for the only one he/she loves. A loyal person still gets attracted to others, appreciates beauty, flirt in some ways. But at the end of the day... a loyal person knows where his/her heart belongs.
This SMS message instantly strucked me when I first read this. It is like our Christian life. God never wants us to be loyal to Him but to be FAITHFUL to Him and in His statutes. God is so faithful to us that he never let us down in every promise He said and of course, He will stick to His word because His integrity is unimaginable. He loves you and also He loves me because we are His sons and daughters. Although He loves another it is the same as yours and faithful to His word.

His people, the believers, commonly becomes the loyalist. These people at first are faithful to God then becomes loyal. How can it be? Most of the time, they tend to sin and later repent and after repentance they come back to their own sinful ways. They are attracted to what the devil offers and they play with it. They are like dogs that returns to their vomit (Proverbs 26:11 - As a dog returns to its vomit, so a fool repeats his folly).

God never wanted someone like that. He wants faithful Christians to be rewarded in Heaven. As it is written in Matthew 25:21, "...Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master's happiness!". Only the faithful servants will be rewarded completely.

Remember that God sees everything so everything you do are not secret to Him.

The Zealots of Today

Last year's a very good year for me. I've visited many churches and learn many from each and have distinguished one common similarity about these churches. I may give this credit for the youth groups in these churches. These youth groups are the one called "zealots" in the churches.

I have an encounter with Victory Church International Christian Ministries in Camarin, Caloocan. I have observed their youth and noticed that almost all of them are being prepared to be a pastor! These dudes are real zealots. Each one of them (even though a very small church) had a disciple and they've been trained to evangelize and disciple. I was also invited to a youth fellowship on regular sundays called 'Youth Stop' at Emmanuel Christian Ministries International (am I right?). My friend, Joef, said to me that their goal is to gather 100 youth. I am very blessed to hear that. He added that they are moving house to house spreading the Gospel.

These people, the youth, are very energetic physically and spiritualy. They have been much active than the more adult church members. We, as a youth and having that same energy and zeal and enthusiasm, have to be more active. We shouldn't be exclusive to our church, we should show the community the real light.

Timothy, a disciple of Paul and considered him as his own son, was trained like the way these youth people are trained. Likewise we should train ourselves to the true war in the heavenly realms. More over, Timothy was a respected Christian in his hometown of Lystra, he became an example towards the elderly being a young man. The biggest responsibility given to him was to handle a small church at Ephesus. It's a big responsibility for a young person but being a Christian it's a very great opportunity to serve the Lord.

We also, should have the same vision. We all have been given the authority to trample over snakes and serpents: over trials and strongholds of the enemy and his minions. Weeven  have the power to lead a small church! We are being prepared for a greater level of Christianiy and a better craft. God's craft shall we do. What Jesus can do we also can do! Have the eagerness to serve and He will satisfy you.

Ultimate Issues: Homosexuality

Is the gay lifestyle really wrong? Shows like Will and Grace, Boy Meets Boy, and Queer Eye for the Straight Guy (All-American shows) would say no. Instead, they would argue that homosexuality is "an alternative lifestyle" - one that you hear about more and more on TV and also in the courts.

For example, in 2003, the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court decided that denying same-sex couples the right to marriage was unconstitutional. They also decided that the definition of marriage to change from union of a man and a woman to the "voluntary union of two persons as spouses, to the exclusion of others."

By now, you might wonder what the real scoop is. In the face of changing legislature, has God's view of homosexuality also changed? --- No...

Now here's a longer one: in Romans 1:18-32, the apostle Paul has particularly harsh words for those who engage in idolatry and homosexuality. Men and women who practice homosexuality go against God's design for human sexuality and will experience consequences for their actions.

Two important messages need to be given on the subject of homosexuality. One is for our society, where biblical notions of right and wrong are sometimes viewed as outdated. That message is that some lifestyles are not  acceptable "alternatives".

The second message is for Christians. While homosexuality is sin, it is not the unforgivable sin (see Mark 3:29). God loves homosexuals just as much as He loves other people who do wrong. Jesus' death on the cross paid for the sin of homosexuality, just as it paid for the sins of lying, greed, lust, hate, and pride.

Homosexuals, like all wrongdoers, stand guilty before God. If that were the whole story, there would be no hope. The greate message of Romans - and the entire Bible - is that Jesus can set us free, regardless of what we've done wrong.

The Real Meaning/Essence of CHRISTMAS

Matthew 1 vs. 21: And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus; for he shall save his people from the sins

Next week, Christians will mark the birthday of Jesus Christ, on what is popularly known as Christmas day. What is the significance of Christmas?

Jesus is the essence of Christmas, as a matter of fact, the word Christmas is a derivation of the word ‘Christ’. If we are celebrating Christmas, it is therefore important to know and believe in the person after whom the day was named.

As shown in the biblical passage above, Jesus Christ came on a salvage mission, to save mankind from their sins. Christmas should therefore be a time for repentance for those who have not accepted God’s plan of salvation for mankind, and a time for sober reflection and rededication for those all those that have accepted the Lordship of Jesus Christ.

Jesus was born about 2000 years ago to save you from your sins. The good news is that his salvation programme did not end 2000 years ago. He is still alive ready to save you from your sins. God has given a grace of 2000 years for anyone willing to be saved to come unto him. As Christmas rolls in, it should be a time of remembrance of Gods plan of salvation.

If you do not have Christ in your life, then you be celebrating Christmas without the presence of the Celebrant in your life.

The essence of Christmas is therefore to accept Christ, the celebrant into your life and invite him to dine with you for the rest of your life. The good news is that there is a greater Christmas in heaven, a Christmas whose celebration do not end in a day. Only the redeemed can participate in this everlasting Christmas.

To register your name as a redeemed, repent of your sins, accept Jesus Christ as your Lord, and live a life of complete holiness. Make this confession:

Jesus Christ, I welcome you to my life as this Christmas, I accept Gods plan of salvation through you and accept you as my Lord and Saviour. Come into me and rule me. In Jesus name I pray. (Amen).
