When God command…

Fri, 10 Oct 2008 11:24:22 GMT

Have you ever experience being commanded by God?

I have.

It was… what can I say? I can’t.. explain. Anyway, it happened last October 1, 2008. I was assigned to exhort in the prayer meeting. But because I wasn’t feeling well so I texted Sis.Bheng and told her that I couldn’t exhort. After that, I spend my day, on the bed… sleeping. But at exact 5:45pm… my cell phone rang, and I when I read it.. it was our VIA Head Sis. Carol telling me to lead the Praise and Worship for the prayer meeting. I texted her back saying, “I could not led the Praise and Worship because I am not feeling well, I was even assigned to exhort but I can’t.” So after I send that message, I returned to my bed but after a few minutes of my eyes closed, I heard God telling me to go to Church and Preach. I opened my eyes and looked at the clock.. it’s almost 6pm (10 minutes before 6:00). And I told God.. that I couldn’t. But once again.. I heard Him (loud and clear) He commanded me to go to the Church and Preach. So I had no choice but to obey.

But the question was… what will I preach? what is God’s message? I wasn’t prepared. So after 5 minutes of preparing myself (would you believe I can do that?) I opened my Bible and ask God for a message and He led me to ACTS where Rhoda and the apostles doubted when they heard Peter’s voice. So I just read it and I ask God to make me understand the message.

When I got to the church, the Prayer Meeting already started; and when I was called to preach… I ask the congregation and led them into a prayer before I preached. The Message of God that came out from my mouth is about Praying but not believing. It was not me who moved but it was God; and at the end of the Exhortation… all of us were crying. The pain that I was feeling suddenly vanished. And after the Prayer meeting; Ptr. Arnel told me that someone told him that they were reminded and blessed when they heard me preaching about the message of God. I said, “To God be the Glory”.

Truly that when God commanded, You have to obey… and when you obey, He will not leave you nor forsake you. I thought I couldn’t do it.. but God helped me. It is really true that when you don’t know what to say.. just open your mouth and let the Holy Spirit talk. And after that, when you obey, it will be very satisfying because God will smile at you for obeying Him.

Stand firm in the faith and resist the devil

Mon, 03 Sep 2007 18:44:19 GMT

When we hear the word “Stand firm in the faith and resist the devil” What does that mean? How then can the watchful Christian stand firm in the faith and resist the devil?

Ans: The same way Jesus did in His humanity while here on earth:

1. By the Authority of God’s Word.
2. By the Power of God’s Spirit.

We now know that the devil no longer has dominion of or the right to rule over our lives. The Scepter is now in Jesus’ hand, not that of the enemy. As we, by the Spirit, speak out our confession of faith, “JESUS IS LORD!” - satan must bend his knee and bow his head (Romans 14:11). It is demon powers who will tremble in torment when we face them in the mighty name of Jesus.

As we submit and come under the authority of God’s Word and God’s Spirit, that Authority comes upon us. We then speak the word as follows:

1. To God in prayer
2. In the confession of our Mouth
3. To the devil in reproof

The Spirit Himself then moves to energize the word, and the enemy flees - along with his lying thoughts and feelings.

We submit to God by filling our minds with His Word and our hearts with Prayer. For every wrong, evil, negative thought the enemy would sow into our minds, there is a right, good positive thought from God’s Word. The Scripture says we can “overcome evil with Good” (Rom 12:21). Every time the devil seeks to give us a push in the wrong direction, we need to push him back - twice as hard - with the truth and power of God’s word.

So the next time you hear a negative thought. (i.e. Sickness). Get Angry. Rose up and said, ‘devil I cast you out, I smite you in Jesus name!’

God plans...

I can't believe how adventorous our business trip was last wednesday; we were looking for publishing houses to get some info and I was laughing hard because they were like mafias. :P teehee It was so hard to look for their factories!

As the car moved; Philip was so busy looking at the Manila map... I gazed upon the sky and I remember what God said before to me.

"You will have a job without experiencing interview".

Meaning I won't undergo giving resumes or even undergo interviews.

I got my first job without giving any resume. I was in a typing office. It was hard because the pay wasn't enough for all the bills. But still; I got in without giving a resume. The next job; I got in without giving resumes again! Then I was recommended by a person and I became a webmaster at the company.

I quitted the job because God gave me a business. A publishing house business. We were working on this business for more than a month already and now the office is being built.

Last sunday though; one of our churchmates who owns the PAC (Philippine Agricultural Center) in Magalang (the largest 'school' in Magalang) approached me and ask me if I can work for her as a webmaster in her school. She said I won't undergo interviews anymore. I am hired already. It was flattering but I had to turn it down because I have a business already. (Plus I can be the boss in my business so... hee heee... *chuckles* hehe just kidding!)

ALL GLORY TO GOD!
(to think I haven't graduated yet...)

But what is my point?
My point is that truly when you want to achieve something in your life; God gave you the ability to overcome it. But the result can either be positive or negative. Sometimes you can be successful; Sometimes you can be failure.

But if you give your Plans to God... It's for the best.

God dreams can turn man's best dreams to shame.

How many times we have seen how God moved into the lives of the people who surrender their life to Him? How many times have we heard such wonderful testimony (that the world may never understand).

Even the Bible; we see Christians who submitted their Life to God and God lead their lives.

Abraham is a good example.
He is the father of all the nations. God was pleased with him; Even it was doubtful... Abraham had his faith that God will not leave him. He wandered off the desert without knowing where he was going and his only road map was God! He had a son at the age of 100 (correct me if I am wrong) which is so impossible; But nothing is impossible with God. And now that he is dead; God promises for him didn't stop. He is still the father of all the nations.

David is another example.
He gave his life to God and God was pleased with him. I bet David didn't even expected that he will be a great king; I bet he only want to become a good shepherd. He didn't expect that he will become a king one day.

He also experience letting go of God and rely on himself. And when he did that... He committed a sin (adultery and Murder).

But He was a human after all; just like all of us.

"We are all twisted image bearness, living with other twisted image bearers in the presence of an untwisted God, who is slowly making us straight. - Dr. Larry Crabb, finding God."

But David did not stop there; He repented and ask forgiveness and came back to God. That's why he wrote a journal and this journal is now called 'Psalms'.

No one is perfect; but God forgives. If you want the best Life that Life has offer. Surrender your Pen; your Life story to the one who knows everything and the one who knows what's best for you :)

God the Healer

Mon, 30 Apr 2007 06:28:03 GMT

Everytime I share about how God heals people and how true our God is; I always ALWAYS testify how God healed my leukemia.

But this time… I am gonna share another testimony how God healeth thee.

Last month; our KKB leader Leslie assigned me to lead a Lifegroup (Bible study) in EPZA district one. When I started to lead that group. A certain girl (I won’t mention her name due to her request) pulled me out of the group after the said Bible study or livegroup.

She was crying and she said that there is something wrong with her body. She didn’t have her period eversince November. I touched her shoulder and I felt God telling me that nothing is wrong with her body nor she was being used in sex thing.

She asked me if I could help her to go to a doctor and have an ultra sound check up. And, So we prayed. She was crying but she did not claim the healing. I told her to claim it and claim it and claim it.

I knew she didn’t claim it so when I left her; that night I prayed to God for her life.

To make the story short. Yesterday, as I was working on the Multimedia thing. I saw her running towards me. I was confused but when she hugged me; I hugged her back and she said that she didn’t need a doctor anymore because she was healed, Her menstruation came back this month and she was really really happy.

She was so greateful to me but I said; Not me sis.. But God.

Truly God is the God that healeth thee
But we need FAITH so that God can work mightly in our Lives.

"Philip"

Fri, 13 Apr 2007 07:05:29 GMT

Hmm… so what should I talk about… Oh yes since last 9th it was our 4 years and 4 monthsary…

My thoughts about my Godswill… ^_^

I met Philip (labsie) at school.

In the past, He is a kind of guy who is very quiet; scary and wants to be always alone. You’ll see him sitting in the corner of the school, doing nothing… and people don’t want to approach him because they could sense some angst or a dark aura around him.

When I saw him… I knew that I know him. But I don’t remember where I met him. Then I found out that He has this “BIG SECRET” which is.. btw.. my SECRET too (in the past). So we found out that we knew each other ever since childhood.

And then when we found each other, we became friends and God started His plan.

What Plan?
TO PUT US TOGETHER.

Let me tell you something peeps. Philip did not even court me!

As Jesus kept knocking in my heart… and rejected Him over and over… when I met Philip…Jesus became more… (persistent) hehehe

Then suddenly, Philip decided to accept Him and let go of His past.. and powers. On the 9th noon of October… He surrendered All of himself fully to Jesus Christ and the demons were cast away from him. At exact 5pm… A NEW Philip emerged into our Classroom. The NEW Philip smiling at everyone. The New Philip who was shinning and I was so envious of the light and peace I saw back then… so after he surrendered his life… at exact 7pm the same date; I surrendered my Life to Jesus too and let go of my powers… (the demon was cast away from my body)

After that… God used us mightily. He became so visible in our everyday life… and not only that… He put us together. Even it was so impossible that time because my ex-boyfriend is here in the Philippines, and my parents hated Philip because Philip is a ”protestant” and my parents are devout catholic…

Yet.. GOD PUT US TOGETHER. I still remember that it came to the point that we want to fight my parents for our love (We wanted to elope!) when God told us, “Do not do anything. Just let me.” And we thank God that He made a way. On the date of January 11, 2003… My Parents accepted Philip and up to this moment; they Like and trust Philip and I am very happy

I won’t say I am a lucky person… but I AM BLESSED. For God has given me a very wonderful GODSWILL. Philip is a one in a million guy. Loving, Understanding, Cute, Unselfish, thoughtful, blessed etc…

According to Him, when he was young… He prayed for me.. for my safety because God told him; I have recalled that in the past I was almost raped; abuse… but nothing happen because Someone is praying for me and God is there for me.

He isn’t like any other guy; He surrendered to God everything about his future relationship with someone. He let God give the one for Him; instead of Him to look around.

I feel so blessed that He did that. That He waited for me. (although if I could turn back the clock I would definitely do what He did… to wait for Him) Anyway, God said no regrets. I am glad that I followed God and did not suffer long. He saved me and put me in Philip’s arms.

Philip is a loving Boyfriend/fiancé, very protective (way… protective) He even cover my mouth when I forgot to cover it because of the smoke hehehe… He always make sure that He brings his umbrella so that when we walk.. He’ll open the umbrella for me so that I will be protected from the sun rays. He would sacrifice his time and even health for me to recover. When I am sick.. He’s always besides me. He is so unselfish. He thinks more of me… rather himself. It is so rare to find a guy like him nowadays. (And I am glad that God gave Him to me). He is a very thoughtful. He loves giving me gifts… often not from what he can buy… but from what he can MAKE. He loves to draw and he always gives me drawings

When I bought the book titled, “When God writes your Love story..” I saw these words…

“I am the author of True Love, the creator of Romance. You have searched for true love in your own way. But my ways are not your ways. I want to write a beautiful story just for you. But first you must trust me with the pen of this precious area of your life. Will you let me write your Love story?”

So we surrendered and let God write our Love story… The two of us… It’s so exciting living with God. He is full of surprises in our relationship. Plus… since we were Christians… we lived by God’s revelation, visions and promises. God has so many promises for us.. and we don’t doubt it because it’s happening.. we can see some of them now.. God is fulfilling them…

A lot of them are fullfilled now

Who wouldn’t want a RELATIONSHIP Like this?
Do you want to have a relationship like this?
Don’t be envious. You can have a relationship like this ^_^

How?
surrender your LOVE STORY
to the REAL AUTHOR OF LIFE.
God Bless,
Chette

Father GOD COMPLETED MY "CHRISTMAS LIST"

Wed, 14 Mar 2007 10:46:14 GMT

Father GOD COMPLETED MY "CHRISTMAS LIST"

last Christmas in FCF Forum, James (T-rex) one of the Members made a thread about "Christmas List". Material things.. what we want for Christmas.

So I listed the following

- CD Printer
- WOW sing
- Miracle CD

God didn't give these last Christmas, But He gave them last February (my birthday) with an extra gift: A Digital Video Camera :)

There's only one thing God didn't give...
'Miracle CD'. Miracle CD is a Christian-Korean Album. But I told everyone that I guess God doesn't want me to have this CD

But I was wrong...

March 3, 2007... THERE was an LBC package at our doorstep addressed to me.. and I opened it up and cried

It was the Miracle CD...

and Father God completed my List

NOTHING is IMPOSSIBLE with GOD

Team Building

Mon, 12 Mar 2007 07:24:59 GMT

The conference started at around 9am. The first speaker was Rev. Pastor Bubut Bernardo (head of Education Ministry), Next was Rev. Pastor Joey Crisostomo Who talked about "Faithfulness" (I will share you this later), The next speaker was non-other than The President of the Jesus is Lord Church Christian School and lady of Brother Eddie Villanueva "Madam/Sister Dory Villanueva" The next one was Congressman Joel Villanueva and the last was Brother Eddie Villanueva. They preached about the Core Values of JIL (explain it briefly) And since we are all WORKERS and LEADERS we understood everything (There were no members mind you) It was a Meeting of the "GENERALS of GOD under the BANNER of JESUS IS LORD CHURCH"

KKB ANGELES TEAM

But even though we are only Workers and Leaders and Pastors... from Region 1, 2 and 3... The attendees were about 4,000! (I felt goose bumps when I saw the workers and leaders of Region 1,2 and 3.. I can't believe that there were a LOT OF WORKERS and LEADERS of OUR CHURCH!

We felt the Holy Spirit, But in the end of the session it was the Hand of God who moved. There was deliverance, Revelations, Annointing, Blessings, Speaking in tongues, Miracles etc... God was there... He really is.

Here are the Pictures :)

and we were blessed to have our Picture Taken with our Spiritual Bishop Brother Eddie Villanueva *_* To tell you the truth, I had desired to meet Brother Eddie Villanueva. It's true that once you delight yourself in God... He will give the desires of your heart :)

"LOVE BANK"

Chette: For this... Post... let me introduce you to my co-host!

.... please welcome my Godswill "Philip"

Philip: Thank you! Thank you! (bow) but why am I here? (blinks)
Chette: Well let's just say... we're going to share a story... before February ends...
Philip: and it's about Love?
Chette: Yep!
Philip: Affirmative!

... let me see... Last Sunday (Feb 18), Our KKB Service was different from all the sunday services we’ve had. It was the ‘post-valentine’ service of the KKBs (youth).

Chette: Bro.Vic and Sis. Wilma gave us a good insight on what True Love really is. But as you can see… as a woman who had lived for 4 years with her godswill… I already know some of their advices. I just nod and say “Amen”

Philip: But of course, as them… our elders at church, we have learned something too. When Brother Vic started to talk about the “Love bank”. It made my eyes looked like this O.O and then it became like this *.*

Chette: You see… as a couple, you must have a visible (imaginary) Love Bank. Where you can deposit Love there every day. So that when you two argue… and could feel that Love is fading… then… It’s time to withdraw some “Love” from the Love Bank.

Philip: When the Love bank became empty… how can you still withdraw Love from there?

Chette: It was really something… the words hit us big time and made us think. And then, as I was thinking.. and thinking… God told me that if we invest the Love bank into Him… If Philip and I put our Love Banks into His hands… Our Love Bank will never go down to O

Philip & Chette: Interesting huh?

Lockjaw... God will protect you

Wed, 29 Nov 2006 21:27:31 GMT

Do you ever... know people who seem to enjoy getting you into trouble? It's like they get satisfaction from watching you get punished.

Well if you do... you're not alone. I do and most of the people experience this nowadays. But more importantly, even in the Bible... you'll see people like this... people being punished because of other people. Example... Jesus.. David.. or let's talk about Daniel.

Daniel had some jealous people to contend with (Read Daniel 6). They hated the fact that their King (King Darius) regarded Daniel more highly of them. So they trapped and made a law to punished Daniel. Oh boy and Daniel committed the greatest crime in their Law!

PRAYING!

They convinced the king to throw Daniel into the Lion's den because Daniel didn't stop praying to His God and didn't bow down to the other gods. Daniel didn't even have an attorney to defend him! There was no jury trial or whatsoever!

But God was with Daniel, though I knew that Daniel was fearful before (imagine... throwing him into a lion's den!) But he didn't look into what he can see... He had FAITH that God is with Him. And did God forsake Daniel? Never. God shut the mouths of those Lions so that no harm came to him. It was a testimony of power. Testimony of the power of God.

The story had a happy ending for Daniel, and even us who can experience this... we know that God will not leave us nor forsake us... but let's face 'reality' huh? let's set aside the Faith thing (although I don't recommend this). It still hurt when we realize there are people who don't want the best for us. Like we help them and they backstabbed us. We tried to reach out yet they push as away then later will do something so that we could be punished. It does hurt.

But like Daniel... we don't have to lose any sleep over it. Not only will God go with us when we face these Lions-He will be able to Close their mouths too.

"A RIGHTEOUS MAN MAY HAVE MANY TROUBLES, BUT THE LORD DELIVERS HIM FROM THEM ALL" (Psalms 34:19)

Lord... Thank you that even when the Lions are growling, you can block their bite.
