Patience in Waiting

Proverbs 23:18 New International Version (NIV)

There is surely a future hope for you,
    and your hope will not be cut off.

We must wait in patience for God's appointed time.

He knows the perfect time for your miracle.

He promised is faithful.

Your tears and prayers are never wasted.

He never neglects our prayers.

Our tears are kept in His bottle. (Psalm 56:8)

Morris Cerullo: A New Wave of Anointing

 

1 John 2:20

 But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and all of you know the truth.


These end-times have been given a sacred anointing.

The anointing is a Person. It's not a feeling. It's not a manifestation of a gift. This anointing is a Person. This anointing, when we receive it, it abides, it remains in us because it is a person.

Holding the Rope by Oral Roberts

Acts 9
²³ After many days had gone by, there was a conspiracy among the Jews to kill him, ²⁴ but Saul learned of their plan. Day and night they kept close watch on the city gates in order to kill him. ²⁵ But his followers took him by night and lowered him in a basket through an opening in the wall.

The Responsibility of Freedom by Myle Munroe

Wasted time is wasted life.
Time without purpose is life without meaning.
time - is an interruption in eternity
- a brief moment in eternity with measure
- time was given to fulfill your purpose
- time is a complete period of duration
Time manifests itself in seasons.

I Don't Mind Waiting

I came across Ms. Juanita Bynum. She's considered a great minister and has been called a prophetess. But one thing that struck and affected my soul while browsing through mementos of her was this song she made.

I don't mind waiting.

It is true that waiting would be one of the most difficult lessons one has to learn. It involves silence and stillness, which will bring forth inexplicable faith and peace as we learn to just surrender to the One asking us to wait.

Painful at times, you don't know what to do or where to go next. But waiting teaches us a sense of calmness amidst confusion.

Waiting teaches us to trust Him. He knows what to do and how to do it. All He asks of us is to trust in His impeccable judgment because everything He does it out of Love.

Therefore, I don't mind waiting.

Going Back to the Cross of Jesus

Corrie Ten Boom's Testimony with Kathryn Kuhlman

It's amazing how a simple woman such as Corrie Ten Boom as such deep and great story to tell the world.

Her testimony about the life she had in the concentration camps with the Nazis, and how she lost her beloved sister in the  darkest hours of her life challenges us to  stand by our faith and believe that God's love for humanity can overshadow our hate and disbelief.

She has a compassionate heart, and how I pray each human being will capture the very essence of her life and influence the world to see life in the light of God's love.

Broken Vessels (2 Corinthians 4:7-12)

Welcome into This Place

Welcome into this place
Welcome into this broken vessel
You desire to abide in the praises of your people

So, we lift our hands
As, we lift our hearts
As, we offer up this praise unto your name.

Creation declares your glory
And the universe declares your majesty


2 Corinthians 4:7-12
7 But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. 
⁸ We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; 
⁹ persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. 
¹⁰ We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body. 
¹¹ For we who are alive are always being given over to death for Jesus’ sake, so that his life may also be revealed in our mortal body. 
¹² So then, death is at work in us, but life is at work in you.


BROKEN VESSELS
With all the breakings, blows and wounds, we become broken and helpless. At times, the situations and circumstances used to break us are so difficult but we need it to be more pliable. We need to be broken to fit the "mold." We become numb of the pain and the tests, which actually help us go through life by just surrendering to God's will. We become acceptable of the things happening in and around us, and thus just offering our brokenness and nothingness to God. But, like the great man who had it all, Job after all the tribulations came out strong, came forth as GOLD.

Do Not Worry (Matthew 6:25-34)

We are often tempted to worry. We worry about what will happen next. We gloat on things to come, even if usually, what we worry about doesn't happen.

God himself told us not to stress ourselves. And here we are thinking about all the possible negativities which we try to foretell as if we have absolute knowledge to what will happen in the next few seconds. We don't. Yet, the one who has already written the end and the beginning, told us, "Do not worry."

God would tarry to test us. He tells us to "wait patiently." Stand still and not move a finger. It's His work not ours. Until we learn and understand what Resting in His love truly means, we will live each day worrying about everything.

I don't want to worry anymore.

He says, "I care." God knows what we need and what we want. He sees all these things.

He says, "Wait." I'll handle it. If it comes and happens, He wanted it to happen. If it doesn't, He doesn't want it to happen. He has greater plans. More beautiful that what we are expecting. Far beyond was is reasonable for us. Exceedingly great and unfathomable.

So, to guys like me... God says "Wait and Rest." Just this once, try not to lift a finger and let God be God. See what happens.

The Art of Forgetting

I seldom say I miss you. I rarely say the words I love you. One thing I know, eventhough forgetting is difficult and a bit challenging it's worth the pain and suffering in the long-run.

We have those keepsakes engraved deep in our hearts. Memories which painted different shades of sadness and bliss in the history of our lives. But one thing I believe in, everything is pre-ordained. Where we are right now, is where we should be. We go through different testswhich become our testimony. The mess we made becomes our message. Our pain becomes our praise.

God is great. He will not give us beyond what we can carry. The load is just right for our capacity to endure. He tests us, so and we will come out stronger and ready to strengthen others.

I just want to thank the Lord for the strength.

He empowers us to forget. He makes things new every morning.

Watched StepMom Last Night

I was sick since last week. I don’t know what’s wrong with myself lately. Actually… I do know. We know things that bother us… we just don’t want to blurt it out. Sometimes, scared of the fact to confirm our depression or frustration. We don’t utter things because it becomes confirmed and real.

I am okay now. Anyway, going back to the subject matter. I saw StepMom last night. I can’t remember if it was my 2oth or what, but I like the movie. It has depth. I feel for the mom who got cancer. It’s never easy to leave your children. I don’t have children, yet. I understand how she feels knowing she’ll be leaving the people dear to her. She would want to be there for them when they go to high school and choose their major in college. But she won’t. My mom was at the couch sleeping amidst the thunderstorm last night. I was looking at her. I thank God she is still there. I’ll be 30 in 2 months. I thank God for my mom and dad. Through the days I was at home, I felt I am still their youngest girl. They were taking care of me. My dad even brought Piknik the other day. He knows how much I love the snack. I know I’m not that young anymore, but I feel I am in the comforts of our home.

I’ve been going through a lot of ponderings these past few days. I’ve been trying to be okay in my green room, and waiting on God to finally send a word to lift my hopes up again. Then, I realized that my parents have always been there for me. Sure, we disagree over a lot of things. My decisions, my career, but I will always be their little girl.  They will always be my mom and dad.

I will get married and have my own little home.  It’s good to know I belong to a great home. A complete set of parents, a happy, home that I will carry in my heart as I pass the lessons learned to my future babies. Actually, I never thought I wanted to have a family… until this year. So, let’s just wait and see. I know what I want now. I want to pass the heart my parents gave us to my future kids and give them the same love my parents taught us.

Thank you, Father for my parents.

An Epiphany in Anawangin Cove, Iba, Zambales

When I went to Anawangin Cove in Iba, Zambales last weekend, I realized one thing… an epiphany I believe I should have encountered years ago.. but perhaps, it was just the right time for me to realize. Maybe I was just busy doing other things which required me to be stationary. I needed to finish my graduate studies and the ministry at church was just getting started. Now, it seems as if I entered a new season and doors are opening everywhere.

THE WAVES WERE DIVINE. The waves splashing through the mysterious brown rocks along the shore in Anawangin Cove were divine. The wind carries the waters and make them touch your skin, as if whispering something. There is something enigmatic with such a scene… That’s when it hit me. Going to different places is not just for fun. Travelling and experiencing the world in different views and angles, in the eyes of different people help discover you. It was only then I realized the purpose of roads, vehicles, boats and bridges. God created and trained mighty engineers and great inventions for people to bridge territories and see the beauty of His creation. I agree to what He said, “It is good.” I believe God wants us to open gates of this earth and capture the exquisite beauty of His creation. After all, why would God create an earth so vast and astonishing if He doesn’t want it to be to seen?

DISCOVER. Everytime we see and discover a new place, a new community, we discover people and learn life through their eyes.  As we unravel a whole new world that exists beyond the walls of our bedroom and workstation, we uncover the secret chambers of our hearts… our visions extended, our perspectives broadened.

This is the purpose why I travel.

Martin The Dreamer

When people are pressed down by injustice and stripped-off their selfhood, they may plunge down the grave, but faith and hope which are heaven sent will resurrect their lives and make them climb up from the pit of despair and inequality. The hope they breathe flowing with the breeze in the morning while waiting for the new sunrise will help them gather courage which is found in every heart determined to face and fight not just for oneself, but for everyone who has the right to be treated as equal, not just flesh and blood, but as human -- with soul, body and spirit.


Sir Martin was the embodiment of greatness found in every soul, converged into a person with deep convictions who is willing to fight not with violence but with a noble and valiant heart prepared to sacrifice one’s life for the redemption of everyone. Truly, his moving speech entered the lives, not just of those who were present in that fateful day, but dwelled in the minds of those who heard his words carrying the spear and fire of wisdom. I believe God did not plan such violence and oppression against his highest creation, that is why He would send people of higher calling to subdue this shockingly dreadful cruelty. His time here on Earth was not wasted. The words flowing from his heart became alive and gave stronger revelation rooted with passion and love for freedom and equality. The message was not just for the people in North America, but it represents every person who is under such disparity.


He lived by faith and not by sight. His heart was looking directly at the future, when his children will no longer be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. He may not live to see the fulfillment of his prophetic dream, but his children did and so his grandchildren and great-grandchildren and that is -- his life’s purpose… undoubtedly completed and remarkably divine. His life was a blessing to history. The life of Dr. King carries the fragrant atmosphere of freedom, that when people start dreaming, indeed, it will come to fruition. It may not happen in our time, but trust that in God’s time it will.

Bible

An old wise man once said, "There are three kinds of books. Good books. Superior books. Great books. Good books inform. Superior books inform and entertain. Great books... change lives."

I just can't imagine a life without it. I am not ashamed that my life's principles are based on the wisdom embedded in this Holy Book of Life. It is my source of strength. The bible lights my path, especially when I am about to cross dark alleys and corners of this world's confusing avenues. The Bible simply gives my life direction. I find refuge in the pages empowered by knowledge and wisdom. No wonder it is the most published book in the entire universe. It speaks of the truth... and if we are wise to seek wisdom in its precious pages, it will truly set our hearts free.

Above all, the Bible is a love letter to the beloved from the Greatest Lover of Souls... Jesus Christ.
My life's worth and purpose is found in Him alone.
