Something For Those Who Believe 3

This is a series that I believe the Holy Spirit wants me to put in my blog. I pray that the readers will finish reading all parts of the series and get something from it. These are things that we need to do in order to seek the real living God. I am not qualified to write this series because I am also at the learning stage. But, it is God’s Spirit that will speak to you through these articles.

“Missing Key: True Repentance”

May tanong ako. May time ba na may nagawa kang kasalanan na alam mong may punishment o consequence, tapos nung inamin mo yung kasalanan mo hindi ka naparusahan?

O kung naparusahan ka man, pero nung inamin mo na talagang nagkamali ka, yung pakiramdam mo para kang nakawala sa preso, para kang nakahinga ulit?

Masarap ang pakiramdam kapag may inamin kang kasalanan o inamin na pagkakamali sa ibang tao. At kung minsan nga, you do not get the punishment you deserve at madalas napupuri ka pa for your honesty. That is grace.

Yung pag-amin mo sa sarili mo na nagkamali ka is true repentance. Kasi pwede mong sabihin na nagkamali ka sa iba pero sa loob mo, iniisip mo wala ka paring kasalanan.

When in yourself, you admit that you made a mistake, that it was your fault, you will have no shame in telling others about your mistake. It is because you are FREE FROM GUILT AND CONDEMNATION inside you.

Many Christians pray a simple prayer to be saved but does not really understand the concept of repentance. True and genuine repentance is one of the most important key in attaining true salvation.

Sadly, many Christians think that by just praying the sinner’s prayer, they are instantly saved. But without true and genuine repentance, it will have no effect.

Yes, once in my life, I thought I was saved until I realized, I wasn’t yet. A lot of times, I see people before they say the sinner’s prayer, they cried. I did not. I prayed the prayer a lot of times but I did not cry. I know two friends who cried before they got saved. But why didn’t I cry? Why, oh why?

Is there really a need to cry?

I am really not sure. Pero gusto ko malaman kung bakit sila umiyak.

My friend na itatago ko sa pangalang Ay-Nadapa-Ako told me that she just can’t help but cry. She, herself, did not know the reason for continuous weeping. I also have a friend na itatago ko sa pangalang PoP na umiyak rin. I forgot what he told me why he cried pero it was my first time seeing a guy weep after the baptism of the Holy Spirit.

I asked the Lord. “Why didn’t I cry?”

I researched about it and I found that crying because of repentance is biblical. In the bible, it does not specify the word ‘crying.’ However, you always have to read between the lines.

¹⁰ Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation and leaves no regret, but worldly sorrow brings death.

2 Corinthians 7:10

Godly sorrow is the Holy Spirit convicting you of your sinful state. Godly sorrow means naliwanagan kang bigla na makasalanan ka pala and you need a savior from yourself. So ibig sabihin, it is the Holy Spirit that will lead you to repentance. That is why PoP started crying upon the baptism of the Holy Spirit. There was a sudden realization and some sort of a reunion of him and His God after finding out that God is not really mad at him.

The Holy Spirit started moving in his heart making him aware that he was in a sinful state. It is a state that longs for a God. That’s why he cried. That’s also why Ay-Nadapa-Ako cried when she got saved. The Godly sorrow was upon them.

I’m gonna post here the whole story of the prodigal son. This is the best parable I can think of regarding repentance.

Luke 15: 11-32

¹¹ Jesus continued: “There was a man who had two sons. ¹² The younger one said to his father, ‘Father, give me my share of the estate.’ So he divided his property between them.

¹³ “Not long after that, the younger son got together all he had, set off for a distant country and there squandered his wealth in wild living. ¹⁴ After he had spent everything, there was a severe famine in that whole country, and he began to be in need. ¹⁵ So he went and hired himself out to a citizen of that country, who sent him to his fields to feed pigs. ¹⁶ He longed to fill his stomach with the pods that the pigs were eating, but no one gave him anything. ß(realization that he is in need…di niya kaya mag-isa.)

¹⁷ “When he came to his senses, he said, ‘How many of my father’s hired servants have food to spare, and here I am starving to death! ¹⁸ I will set out and go back to my father and say to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. ¹⁹ I am no longer worthy to be called your son; make me like one of your hired servants.’ ²⁰ So he got up and went to his father. ß(pag-amin sa sarili na nagka-sala talaga siya….na mali siya)

“But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him.

²¹ “The son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’ ß(confession of an admitted mistake)

²² “But the father said to his servants, ‘Quick! Bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet. ²³ Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let’s have a feast and celebrate. ²⁴ For this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’ So they began to celebrate. ß(mercy and grace shown to the prodigal son)

²⁵ “Meanwhile, the older son was in the field. When he came near the house, he heard music and dancing. ²⁶ So he called one of the servants and asked him what was going on. ²⁷ ‘Your brother has come,’ he replied, ‘and your father has killed the fattened calf because he has him back safe and sound.’

²⁸ “The older brother became angry and refused to go in. So his father went out and pleaded with him. ²⁹ But he answered his father, ‘Look! All these years I’ve been slaving for you and never disobeyed your orders. Yet you never gave me even a young goat so I could celebrate with my friends. ³⁰ But when this son of yours who has squandered your property with prostitutes comes home, you kill the fattened calf for him!’

³¹ “‘My son,’ the father said, ‘you are always with me, and everything I have is yours. ³² But we had to celebrate and be glad, because this brother of yours was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’” ß(a new, converted life of the prodigal son after admitting his mistake)

If you read between the lines, when the father embraced his prodigal son, this son of him wept saying that he has sinned against his father. If you will try to understand the deepness of this scene, you will realize that both were weeping.

The prodigal son said that he sinned against him and does not deserve to be called his son anymore. But the father threw a banquet instead to celebrate the coming back of his son.

Do you hear the Holy Spirit in you now?

Your Father in heaven awaits for your return. Let the Holy Spirit convict you right now. Hear the Spirit as he illuminate to you the sinful life you have been living.

True repentance is when you realize that you have sinned against your Father in heaven and tell Him that you do not want to live a life like that any longer.

Let me help you with this.

Many of us are now under the orphan spirit. We do not have perfect fathers. Some of our fathers died early. Some of our fathers are far away. They were not with us when we grew. Some of our fathers did something wrong. He left your family for good. He left his wife. He cheated on your mom. Some of us did not receive the care that we longed from our dads. Some of us hate our dads.

But, we have a perfect Daddy who is waiting for us to acknowledge Him as our Daddy. We have been living our lives on our own. We have been working hard to attain a title or to be rich. We have been so tired of the things that are happening in our lives. We have no one to depend to but ourselves. And yet, we cannot do it alone. Some of us are rich but because of pride, they lost a child-like happiness. Some of us are just faking happiness. Deep inside, there is sorrow. Deep inside are wounds from the past. Deep inside are voices saying how bad you are as a person, that you don’t deserve it.

We have been living a sinful life. Lying. Stealing. Saying bad words. Saturating our minds with pornography. Having sex outside of marriage. Homosexuality. Addiction in anything else.

I wrote this not to condemn. Give it up. God is willing to forgive you. Give up your sins. Give up your sinful life. There is so much more, so much better life waiting for you. God is weeping and is longing for your repentance. He is out there waiting for you to return. His spirit is pursuing you.

Give up your sins. Give up a life that is too far from your God, from your Daddy. His love awaits you. He will not condemn you of your sins. Kahit gaano ka sa tingin mo makasalanan ngayon, God is waiting for you to come back to Him.

If you still feel na hindi ka makasalanan, pray more that He make you realize your sinful life. Let Him touch you at this very moment. Do not resist. Wag mo nang pigilan. Just let go. If you are alone in your room while reading this, just let go. Open yourself to Him.

Just like the prodigal son, he became tired of eating pig food. He let go of his pride and in him admitted that he has committed a big mistake. Go back to your Father, admit to Him that you have committed a big mistake and He will feed you real food, real grace, real joy, real love, real understanding, real hope!

He will not punish you. Someone was already punished in your behalf – Jesus Christ. Go on, talk to your Father now. He loves you, whoever you are. In His eyes, you are very precious. You are a precious jewel in His sight. He is not mad. He is so much longing for you. Go to Him. Just release yourself to Him.

Say this prayer and say it from your heart. You can say your own personal prayer which is way better. These words will guide you in what to say.

Father God, Daddy, Tay,

I have sinned against you. I have hurt you. I have lived my life sinfully. Forgive me. I repent of my sinful life. God….Daddy, I do not want this life anymore. I let go of all my sins. Lord, ayoko na. Dad, I do not want to hurt you anymore. Please forgive me. I want to come back to you. I want to get even closer to you. Sorry…I am really sorry.

Thank you that in my behalf, your son Jesus died. Thank you for Jesus, my Savior, my Lord. His blood washes me clean now. All my sins forgiven. Thank you Daddy.

In Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Just like in the parable, a famine was in my life. Only when that famine came, I realized I needed my God so badly.

I wept, a few weeks after my lola died, in front of the TV after watching Passion of Christ. I repented with tears for blaming my God for her death. Jesus suffered greatly for me. And I do not want to hurt Him anymore.

Little did I know that that was the time I really got saved. Now I have peace in my heart that when I die, I will be with the Lord. No more guilt. No more condemnation.

Truly, for those who love God, ALL things work together for their good, for their true and genuine salvation.

I finally know what PoP and Ay-nadapa-Ako felt that time. I love you Lord. Thank you.

Real repentance is the second key in finding the genuine God.

Lagi niyo naririnig ito “ Repent! Repent for the kingdom is nigh!” or ‘the kingdom is at hand.’ We often define this as ‘kailangan na nating magsisi dahil malapit nang dumating si Lord.’ But we do not see the other meaning of this verse na I believe is the actual meaning that God wants us to live by.

Sin separates us from Him and His will. It is a road block. Once we repent, the road block will be gone. Now, there will be an open-line communication from Him to you, from you to Him.

Kapag sinabing ‘the kingdom is at hand’ ibig sabihin abot-kamay na natin ang kaharian ng Diyos kung saan may healing, prosperity, deliverance, joy, peace and so much more! If you need healing, it is yours when you need it. If you need money or supplies, it is yours when you ask of it. Dahil nga wala nang nag-bablock between us and God, His promises freely goes from Him to us(siempre partnered with faith or believing).

This article talks of general repentance (being sorry for living a sinful life). Every day, God will remind us of the specific sins we have done in the past. And when we remember them, let us repent of them. Repent means to realize that what we did was wrong and in our heart, we do not want to do them anymore.

Once we truly repent, there is always a change in lifestyle. Every day, we should ask God to remind us of the sins we did in the past. Repentance is an everyday thing since we are not perfect. We will still sin knowingly or unknowingly.

How will God warn us that we are sinning? You will be surprised that the one we call ‘conscience’ has become very strong and loud. You will feel that what you did or what you are doing is not right anymore.

To sin is not our nature anymore. We will feel uneasy when we sin. Let us read the bible so that we would know what God considers sin and evil in His sight.

Repentance is made effective by the Blood of Jesus Christ. May nagbayad so that we can gain the forgiveness of our Father. We owe it all to Jesus.

Something For Those Who Believe 2

This is a series that I believe the Holy Spirit wants me to put in my blog. I pray that the readers will finish reading all parts of the series and get something from it. These are things that we need to do in order to seek the real living God. I am not qualified to write this series because I am also at the learning stage. But, it is God’s Spirit that will speak to you through these articles.

“Believing”

Was there a time in your life that you believed in the existence of flying carpets? Or a genie in a lamp? Or a mermaid? Or a unicorn? Or a troll?

Was there a time in your life when you believed that you were driving a spaceship and battling a whole army of space pirates?

Inspired ng movies at animations na napanood natin when we were kids, these things became so alive in our imaginations to the point of living them out.

May pasab-sabi pa tayo ng “zoom! Zoom!” “take this! take that!” “Haya! Haya!”

I remember those days. Kung iisipin natin, we were so carefree back then. Nothing else matters. We play like they really exist in the real world.

Minsan, we would ask ourselves where was that child. Sometimes we dream of being a child again. Walang inaalala, walang anxieties, no cares or whatsoever. Ang cool siguro noon.

Those fun moments began when we believed the existence of fictional characters. When we believed, they became so alive that we begin to live our lives na parang naroon talaga sila sa tabi natin.

This just proves that ever since we were kids, believing molded or influenced the way we lived. It is a power at work at our early age.

Believing is a powerful aspect of humanity. It is through believing that we showcase the very powerful identity of God as the Creator of life.

Believing is so powerful that it will determine the course of our lives. Kung nasan man ako ngayon, it is the result of the things that I and my parents believed in the past.

Believing highly influences all parts of our being (decisions, words, attitude, emotions, actions). What our heart is full of is what we believe. And what our heart is full of, masasabi’t masasabi natin. And when we speak, there is unseen power released.

You probably have encountered what they call the law of attraction. If you believe positive things like success, success will eventually come your way. The law of attraction imposes a half-truth. But all half-truths are lies. It is a perversion of God’s Word. It removes God from this truth.

Sa totoo lang, mahirap i-apply ng law of attraction in our everyday lives. Let’s get real! It is hard to remain a positive thinking attitude all the time. Kunwari kasama ka sa isang holdapan scene at may pinatay na sa harap mo. Do you really think you can still keep a positive thinking for this situation? Mahirap kapag walang basis.

Kaya nga applying this so-called law in Christianity is easy because we have a basis – what Jesus has done for us. That no matter what we go through in life, even if it is face-to-face with death, the promises of God is sure because Jesus already paid for it on the cross once and for all!

The law of attraction explains to us why God is after our belief system or our FAITH. It is God who established the quote-unquote law of attraction.

He made us in His own image and likeness. Things happen according to what God believes and speaks. So when we speak, what we speak happens eventually. God wants to take hold of our belief because He knows this is how He will be able to manifest Himself to us.

Ang demonyo, gaya-gaya puto-maya. What God is after, the devil is also after. If the devil convinces us to believe his clever lies, we die. His job never really changed ever since the temptation at the garden.

Believing is a God-given power to all of us. Whoever or whatever holds our belief system controls our entire being.

If you believe that you are poor and there is no way out, then that will be according to what you believe.

If you believe that you will fail, you will fail.

But if you believe that you will succeed, you will!

Believe is an overused word without really knowing what it truly means. People say they believe but deep inside, they doubt. That ain’t believing. The power of believing will only work if there is no doubt.

Example: Do you believe that if you jump from the 23^rd floor, you will fall?

I will hear a quick and sure ‘yes.’ That is believing without a doubt.

I will suppose that those who read this have not tried jumping from the 23^rd floor of a tower.

Can you believe that you will not fall when you jump off from the 23^rd floor of a building?

…..

If your answer is no (mine is no), then it would mean we do not believe that we can stay afloat when we jump from the 23^rd floor. Tomo diba? Then our believing power starts working now. We will say “it isn’t possible.” Then power is released that will influence our entire self. And you got it, we will never dare jump off from a 23^rd floor.

But if one of us now believes that yes, he can. Yes, there is a way for him to stay afloat after jumping from the 23^rd floor of a tower without a single doubt. Power begins to work when he speaks “I believe there is a way.” It will begin to influence his entire being. His mind will work according to what he believed. He will do what it takes to prove that what he choose to believe is true. And when he succeeds, he will be like a fire, quickly influencing the world.

Well, two boys had a mustard seed (small) faith that believed there is a way to fly. The power of believing worked, defied all odds they encountered and the first airplane was birthed. And they made a big difference in the lives of many. It changed the face of the world! That powerful!

So what is believing?

It is a personal choice to accept something presently not seen as TRUE or POSSIBLE or EXISTING. And because you believe, you will live like it is presently true, possible and existing!

This is so like God! How come?

¹ In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. ² The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was^[a] on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.
³ Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light.

Explain! Explain!

Was there light in the beginning? Wala. Did God believe there can be light? Yer! Otherwise, He will not say what He said. If God did not believe that it is possible to have light in the middle of darkness, He might have said “It is so dark here. I can’t see a thang!”

Imagine God saying “’Ay, ang dilim….’ and everything remained dark.”

But God said “LET THERE BE LIGHT!” He would not have said it if He did not believe it.

The enemy will throw at you all kinds of lies for you to believe.

· You’re so not gonna get rich.

· You’re so not gonna pass the exam. Bobo ka eh.

· You’ll be a loser forever.

· You are nothing but a piece of sh…..

· God hates you. God is mad at you.

· You need to work hard in order to gain God’s favor.

· God made Mary the queen of heaven and earth. (In short, a goddess)

· You cannot fly.

· You will not be able to walk again.

· Sickness and disease is normal. Just bear it.

· Poverty is inescapable. So why work hard to escape it?

· You will never make it in life!

If you are not acquainted with God’s Word, you will believe all these lies. And believing a lie will kill any person. Anything that is contrary to the word of God is a lie of the enemy.

Kapag ikaw nadapa, wag mo nang sabihin “ay, nadapa ako.” Sabihin mo, “babangon ako for sure!” Believe that you can rise again and use the power of your words!

Satan uses the world system, philosophies, other religions and even Christian denominations to impart to us a wrong belief system because the enemy knows the moment a person believes only in Jesus as the Son of God, that person will be delivered from the enemy’s hands.

So what does God wants us to believe?

He wants us to believe that we were all condemned to hell because of our sins. But He, through Jesus, paid the price for our sins so that we can live a free open-heaven life. When we die, we will be together with Jesus in heaven.

The enemy knows that if you believe in Jesus Christ and you spoke it, you will be instantly saved from eternal damnation. Satan wants us to end up in hell. That’s his goal. He will use all means possible to get you and me to his place. He will use the best deception of the world and the most lethal sin (pride) to keep us away from the name above every name, Jesus.

The law of attraction is a clever deception. It presents a clear truth, but it takes away God and His word from the scene.

The enemy even succeeded in using the name “Jesus Christ” as a curse word. Or the ever famous ‘oh my God!” in vain. People think it’s okay to do this. They’re deceived.

The promises of the living God are for those who believe. Not only believe, but believe that Jesus is the son of the living God. That He became man and died for our sins. That He rose again and He is alive and is now seated at the Father’s right hand. That He alone has the power to heal, deliver and save! That He wants to prove Himself alive in every area of life through signs, wonders and supernatural manifestations.

If an individual believes without a doubt and starts to declare that Jesus is God and He is Lord and Savior (just like how the Wright brothers declared that it is possible to fly), God’s power will instantly be upon that person and He will see the glory of the living God.

That person is now a legal recipient of God’s never-ending promises.

Once you believe and declare, Jesus Himself will have His rest place in your heart. And where He is, there is no lack, no poverty, no shame, no guilt, no condemnation.

Once we believe and declare, Jesus will become a reality in our lives. Just like how real the fictional characters became when we were a child, this is how real Jesus will be in our lives. He will mold our very character and way of thinking and living. The difference is, Jesus is not a fictional character. He is real because you will experience tangible power. This is the child-like faith he wants from us. Believing just like how a child would believe.

God will never promise a problem-free life. He promises victory after victory after victory. He promises a character that the world longs to see.

Oh, if only people will get this, they are in for the best time of their lives.

You don’t need to be perfect. Abraham was not perfect. But when Abraham believed God, God counted that as righteousness.

⁶ Abram believed the LORD, and he credited it to him as righteousness.

Genesis 6:15

You just need to believe Jesus to be righteous in the sight of God. All we need to do is to simply believe.

For us who already believes, let us not believe the lie of the devil that God is not in the healing business anymore. That He is not into signs and wonders anymore. If we believers are not operating under the supernatural, it just means something is wrong with our Christian walk. If we do not see the fruits of the Spirit in our lives, something must be wrong.

We must know and believe that God is a supernatural God. God is a spirit. God functions in the spirit realm. He established a law in the spirit realm that directly affects the physical realm. He wants us to know how it works in the spiritual realm so that we can work with Him.

If a believer does not believe in spirits, then he is saying he does not believe in God. Diseases are caused by spirits. Cataclysmic events are caused by principalities in the spiritual realm. The devil does not want us to be aware of the spiritual world because he knows that if we do, he will have no power over us. He keeps us blind to how it works in the spiritual world so that we become defenseless.

Now is the time to advance the Kingdom of the living God on earth! Now is the time to show the world that God supernaturally heals, God supernaturally provides. God is a miraculous God!

How can we prove to the world that God exists if we don’t operate in His power? We must seek for Him more. We, Christians, should be the display of His image, His love and His power! Seek the real God in the spirit and believe that there is so much more from Him.

Ever since I started seeking for the real God, miracles have started happening in my life. Not only to me but also to those whom I pray for. God is beginning to move in my life so powerfully. He is becoming unstoppable because I allow Him to be unstoppable in me. And it’s only just the beginning.

It is only now that I can boldy say, God is truly bigger. I have put Him in a box long enough. He is gonna be very big in my life. So big, it will touch the life of my family, relatives, friends and officemates. This I believe. This I declare in Jesus’ Name.

Exercise your faith. Believe today. Believe tomorrow. Believe the next day. Declare. Declare. Say it out loud. Shout it out loud until what you believe becomes so real and it shall come to pass.

Believe and say this in bold faith!

Father,

I believe in Jesus, your only begotten Son! I believe that He became man and died for my sins. I believe that His body and blood paid the price for the punishment that I was suppose to get. I believe that He did not remain dead! I believe that He rose again on the third day! I believe that He is now with You in heaven, reigning in glory.

I open my heart to Jesus. Jesus, I believe wholeheartedly that you are now my Lord and my Savior. I will live You out just as how I lived out fictional characters when I was a child. You will become so real in my life and so powerful. My love for you will grow more and more and more each day.

In the wonderful, awesome name of Jesus I pray, Amen.

Do not forget to read the bible to check out what He has in store for you.

Ladies and gentlemen, real believing is the first key in finding the real God in our lives. For a powerful God can only be found using a powerful tool God bestowed on us – believing.

Without a doubt, we believe that Jesus is God and he died and rose for our sins. He is alive forevermore, reigning in glory and power! Without a doubt He wants to manifest Himself in your life today. Surely, He is all that you will ever need!

---> Part 3

Something For Those Who Believe 1

This is a series that I believe the Holy Spirit wants me to put in my blog. I pray that the readers will finish reading all parts of the series and get something from it.

“Enough!”

I believe that at least once in your life, you were pissed off by things around you and you just shouted “Enough!”

Pissed off by your parents, classmates, roommates, kabarkadas, your spouse, your partners or events and situations in your life:

· Nakaka-asar kapag lagi kang walang pera o kaya kulang and pera mo

· Nakaka-asar na lagi nalang may problema sa bahay,

· Nakaka-asar na lagi nalang may sigawan sa loob ng bahay

· Nakaka-asar na lagi ka nalang naaawa sa sarili mo

· Nakaka-asar na lagi ka nalang pinapagalitan ng boss mo

· Nakaka-asar na parang lagi kang malas (naiwanan ng bus, laging nakatayo sa bus, nakakatapak ng jerbs, natatalisod, laging talo sa postahan)

· Nakaka-asar na lagi nalang nag-hahang yung computer o kaya ang bagal-bagal mag-load

· Nakaka-asar na yung bolpen ko lagi nalang walang tinta

· Nakaka-asar na yung sweldo ko ang baba-baba

· Nakaka-asar na ang hirap ng hirap ng buhay ngayon dahil lahat nagtaasan (pamasahe, matrikula, pagkain pero sweldo HINDI!!)

At one time or another, mapupuno ka lang and you will say “ENOUGH!” “No more!”

Dalawang bagay lang, kapatid, ang gagawin mo matapos mong mapuno.

It’s either you GIVE UP or you PURSUE the better life. Dalawa lang. Sobrang simpleng intindihin. Dalawa lang: quit or search for the better life.

When you choose to quit, you admit that life is just like that. Accept it. That’s how the world was made. (Talaga lang ha? Were you there when the world was made?)

When you choose to pursue, you know and believe in your heart that this is not the life you deserve, that there is something better for me, that this is not how things should be. SOMETHING IS JUST WRONG. In your heart, you see a better future, a better living.

Guess what choice great people chose to do. Guess what many people choose to do. Obvious, right?

More important is, what do you choose to do?

My quest for the real God started when my lola died. I was soooo pissed off.

· God said “by His stripes, we are healed.” The cross paid for all sicknesses and diseases. SO WHY DID SHE DIE IN SICKNESS?

· God said “He is the Way, the Truth, and the LIFE!!!” SO WHY DID SHE DIE?

· God said He became poor so that we will be rich. Oh really? I did not see it.

I am so sick of having family members die because of disease and illness. I am so sick of people cursing each other behind their backs. I am so sick of my dad being separated from us to fill the family’s financial needs. I am so sick of people robbing things from our house and blaming our neighbors for the crime without solid proof. I am so sick of pitying myself because I was of no help in time of crisis. I am sick of Christians fighting Christians. I am sick of the divisions in faith. I am so sick of NOT SEEING THE PROMISES OF GOD IN ACTION! Sobra.

Are you contented of how things are going around you? Did you accept in yourselves that this is life? This is how it goes? Either you fight and survive or die? Do you believe that your life should be the survival of the fittest? Because if so, we humans are no different from no-brainer animals.

I want to speak to those who go to church whether born-again, catholic, Baptist, Methodist, lutherian, etc. To those who believe in God, have you accepted the natural life you are living? That diseases and illnesses are normal and natural? That poverty is natural? That the continuous robbery of your properties are normal?

If this is what you believe, then you do not really know your God!

Two choices I thought of doing “GIVE UP CHRISTIANITY for it seems fake” or “PURSUE THE REAL CHRISTIANITY. PURSUE THE REAL GOD.” Because deep inside of me, I believed not for a problem-free life but for a life that no matter what happens, God will manifest His greatness and awesomeness just like He said He did in the bible.

This is the real meaning of what God has been telling us all the time “Seek His Face.”

Unless you are pissed off and say “enough is enough,” and have faith that this is not the life you should be living because GOD HAS SAID THAT THIS IS NOT THE LIFE HE HAS PLANNED FOR YOU, you will always be defeated by life. You will always quit.

Let me be clear that what God has said is true and final. If God said you are made rich in Christ, He means it physically and spiritually. It is true and faithful.

But why do I seemingly lack? Why don’t I see it?

Something must be wrong. Something must be blocking. Something is missing!

God is never wrong. So I told myself “something must be wrong with my faith, with the teachings I heard, with everything I know that has to do with God,” If God is true and faithful, then His words are true. Something is wrong. Or rather, SOMEONE was wrong.

People and the enemy can mess this up. If you do not seek yourself, my dear readers, you will never find. If you do not have a reason to seek, you will never seek.

You tell me you’re rich and you do not need God? Really? That’s pride. Trust me, I guarantee, God will do something in your life to make you seek Him.

He will allow things in your life to occur that will break your heart and make you realize that you need Him so. He did this to me. He allowed things to happen in my life that broke my heart and made me realize that I need my God – the real living, active, speaking God.

Will you still wait for God to do these things? Will you still wait for someone to die from your family because of disease for you to realize that you need God?

People who rely only on the teachings of men about God will never find the real God unless they themselves seek for God. I am so fed up with just plain preachings. At first they were good but I realized something was wrong when what they preach does not happen in reality.

Diba nga men’s pursuit for a convenient and easy life has led to the wonders of the technologies we enjoy today. We seek ways to make life easier and to make things done more efficiently and effectively. And we were successful. This is the principle “seek and you shall find” at work.

Don’t you think seeking God will lead you to the glorious, miraculous, and supernatural wonders of your God? Don’t you want a life that is prosperous and healthy? Don’t you want a God who will provide you with everything you need and desire? Don’t you want a powerful God that will protect you and your properties? Most importantly, don’t you want a God who will love you no matter who you are, no matter what your past is, no matter how many mistakes you have committed?

Well kung ayaw mo naman, wala naman akong magagawa. But if you want your God to be real in your life, then join me in seeking the real God. Join me in seeking God’s heart. Whoever you are, I do not care. God does not care. Sinner or not, God does not care at this moment. He just wants you to seek His face while we are still at the era of grace that is soon to end.

If you know you are in God’s perfect will, whenever you read messages telling about end times, rapture, and tribulation, you will not get scared, rather excited, for your God will come to rescue you and we will be with Him forever.

There’s gonna be a major-major change in your thinking and in your life. This is a guarantee. God will prove Himself powerful in your life. Give Him a chance by seeking Him.

Are you pissed off? Good! For those who believe, together let’s commit ourselves to seek the genuine and real God.

Before we move on to part 2 , let’s say this prayer.

Heavenly Father,

I commit myself to seek after the real You. I believe that what I know about You is not complete. My life is still seemingly wrong. I do not see your mighty power in my life. I believe that you are a great God, that you are capable of changing my situation supernaturally. Until I experience the greatness of Your presence, I will not be contented of what I experience in the natural. I will not be contented by just preachings and articles. I want to experience You myself. I know and I believe you are capable. By this, you will be able to show me and the world that You are truly alive and that You are powerful against all odds.

In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
