What God Wants Us to Do

Saved in Order to Do Good

1 Remind the people to be subject to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready to do whatever is good, 

2 to slander no one, to be peaceable and considerate, and always to be gentle toward everyone. 

3 At one time we too were foolish, disobedient, deceived and enslaved by all kinds of passions and pleasures. We lived in malice and envy, being hated and hating one another. 

4 But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, 

5 he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, 

6 whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior, 

7 so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life. 

Isaiah 58

6“Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen: to loose the chains of injustice and untie the cords of the yoke, to set the oppressed free and break every yoke? 

7 Is it not to share your food with the hungry and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter— when you see the naked, to clothe them, and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood? 

Look at Your Children

There are a lot of things to worry about our youth of today. To our beloved parents, be wary of what’s going on with your kid. According to Psychology, the critical age of a child is from 2-6 years old while others says 8. This years is the year that lays down the foundation of a child. Therefore, whatever he learns in those critical years will be his foundation which will mold a child. Therefore, as early as those age, let’s make sure that we introduce Jesus to them. Teach them about the life of Jesus. There are bibles for kids with wonderful colored pictures for their easy understanding and appreciation.

Let’s not introduce the modern gadgets such as cellphones and internets. Even if they know about these stuff, do not allow them to use it at such an early age. Limit their watch on movies and guide them in watching. Do not allow them to watch movies or shows that would infest their mind with worldly matters such as  MTVs, (MTV presents music that are worldly and remember that young people of today are conquered by the evil through music). Horror, lewd or sensual, fantasy with violent or sensual touch and drastic or violent movies should be taboo for them. Parents let’s watch them closely as they grow.

Our young kids are already involved in music. Everybody loves music and since this is a portal for evil to come to human, let’s make sure that our kids does not listen to music that implies sensual or sex, destructions, vulgar words , love of money, hatred, vengeance, and depressions. There are a lot of band groups and famous celebrity performers specially from Hollywood that is most admired by young kids of today ex: Britney spears, Rihanna, Lady Gaga, Madonna, Miley Cyrus, Beyonce, etc. There are a lot of them or perhaps almost all of these famous personality in music industry. You may play gospel songs in your house to invite good spirit and for your kids to remember and sing along with it.

Remember that our youth today holds the future.

Something about the Pope and the Vatican

Just to share a piece of information. I'm not sure if this is coincidental or was it
really the Pope of the Catholic is the 666 revealed in Revelation 13:16 of the Scripture.

The pope was designated as Vicarius Filii Dei or Vicar of Christ meaning a representative of God or tantamount as representation of Christ which is a
blasphemy of God. Nobody can substitute God, but Christ and nobody can
substitute Christ. God said, His glory is His and His alone.

In Revelation 13:1 1 And the dragon stood on the shore
of the sea. And I saw a beast coming out of the sea. He had ten horns and seven
heads, with ten crowns on his horns, and on each head a blasphemous name.

The pope has what we called Tiara on his head bearing these words:
IESV CHRISTI VICARIO INFALLIBILI- infallible vicar of Jesus Christ
ORBIS SVPREMO IN TERRA RECTORI - to the supreme governor of the world of earth .
REGVM ATQVE POPVLORVM PATRI - to the father of nations and kings.

When we say infallible, it is without sin or error. According to the Scripture, God
said that all had sinned and fall short to the Glory of God. It's only God Himself
that is without sin. Those tittles cannot be given to a man whom created by God,
but to God Himself only. Therefore, that alone is a big lie of satan to deceive people.

In Book of Revelation also stated about 7 hills. The vatican is situated within 7
hills:The Quirinal Hill,The Aventine Hill,The Caelian Hill,The Viminal Hil,lThe
Capitoline Hill, The Esquiline Hil,lThe Palatine Hill. The 10 horns with crown are
powerful individuals if not countries that involves in setting up and protecting
the Vatican. Remember in History we have the Allied countries such as : Allied
Powers composed of Empires and the famous are :France, Germany, Great Britain, Rome, Russia , USA, Poland, Japan, to name some. Perhaps these are powerful people that represents in any of those countries involved in protecting the Vatican.

How did the Vatican and the pope started had a lot of complicated stories. It is
the seat of the throne of the Papa who is the head of the catholic church all over
the world. In History you can remember that Constantinopole was the first Christian emperor. He was the one who declared Christianity through the Edict of Milan(remember History) as the main religion of the land after he won the battle of Mildivian for putting the sign of the Cross on their battleship. Rome was a pagan country remember, so when he declared Christianity, he paganized christian religion (combining christian with pagan practices)They claimed that Peter was the first pope. If you read the Bible , there's nowhere in the Bible that supports their claimed. When Paul thanks the people who assisted him in bringing up Jesus to the Romans, he never mentioned Peter, which simply means that Peter was not in Rome. It was also said in the Bible that Peter was the apostle for the Jews or the circumcised and Paul for the gentile or the uncircumcised. It only means that Peter did not even set his foot in Rome.

If you would check and read the Bible, the doctrines that the Catholic is teaching
is none existing in the scripture. If that would be originated from the teachings
of the apostle Peter, it would have been the same as the scripture which is the
same before and is still the same today. In the scripture, there was no teachings
about indulgence, to do penance for sins, confessions to a priest, praying the
rosary, venerating Mary and saints, the process of baptism, the ceremonial mass.
In fact, they actually is contradicted to the teachings of the Bible.

There were lots of secrets in the Vatican, but as God said, there is no hidden things that will not come to light. There were news about sexual abuse among members of the choirs which are boys.It started to come out in 2010 and there was investigations, but nothing happened until now.

If you read history about Reformation or Protestant Reformation, it was the darkest period of Christianity. In the St Bathomew Massacre, there were millions of Huguenotes(these were French protestants who was regarded as heretics by the Catholic leaders of that time) who died.

I'm sharing these information for you to open your eyes to what is the truth.

Jeremiah 29:13New International Version (NIV)
13 You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.

TO ALL CHRISTIANS

We know that Jesus teaches in parables. Here is one of the parables Jesus taught His disciples.

Book of Mark 4:3-8

3 “Listen! A farmer went out to sow his seed. 

4 As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up. 

5 Some fell on rocky places, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly, because the soil was shallow. 

6 But when the sun came up, the plants were scorched, and they withered because they had no root. 

7 Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the plants, so that they did not bear grain. 

8 Still other seed fell on good soil. It came up, grew and produced a crop, some multiplying thirty, some sixty, some a hundred times.” 

9 Then Jesus said,“Whoever has ears to hear, let them hear.”

This teaching of Jesus is incomprehensible to people whose  Kingdom of Heaven is not revealed to. To people who diligently search God in his heart will easily understands the parables. Maraming nagpapahayag ng salita ng Dios bilang pagtupad sa pinaguutos ni Jesus in Mark 16:15“Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. 16 Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.

Marami ding nakikinig, nagbabasa ngunit’ hindi lahat ng ito ay tumitimo sa kanilang puso at isipan,  That is the summary of the Parables.

The man who scatters the seed is the one who shares(preacher, evangelist, pastor, teacher of the words) the words of God.

1)Seeds that fell along their path were eaten by the birds-itong mga taong ito nakarinig ng salita, pero binabalewala. Parang  pumasok sa isang tenga , lumabas sa kabila. Walang dating  ang Salita ng Dios sa kanila , at ganyan ang marami specially those sa mga taong may ibang paniniwala. The reason, it’s either not their priority or they do not believe in the words of God. Kaya yung mga kasama sa distro na hindi binabasa ang mga sinishare ko, God knows them and I know them, too. Naaawa lang ako sa kanila. Di ba sabi ni Jesus, 9 Then Jesus said,“Whoever has ears to hear, let them hear.”

2). Seeds that fell on the rock-siyempre mabato at mababaw ang mga rocky soil. It does penetrate though, but no deep penetration. So dahil nasa batuhan at nasa bilad ng init ng araw madali itong namamatay. Some people joyfully received the words of God, but when trials in life come to them, nawalan sila ng tiwala sa Salita ng Dios or which is God Himself, and they went back to their old self. Maraming ganito sa mga  born again Christians, They go to church, nakinig , nagbasa, but the words  did not penetrate in them, dahil hindi malalim ang kanilang intimacy kay God nung dumating ang problema, hindi nakayanan, nawala ang tiwala sa Dios at bumalik siya sa dati.  

In Hebrewws 4:12 ¹² For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. 

The words did not penetrate in them. Kung nagpatuloy lamang siya, he will know the meaning of the preceding verse.

3).Other seeds fell among thorns. You know if we are among thorns- which means worldly cares such as : riches, business, family, careers, fame, etc. There are also many Christians na ganito. They go to church, yet one foot is still on earth. So he’s not totally surrendered to the Words of God because he cannot avoid the pleasures of richness, success in career, family, fame, etc. Hindi ba may isang mayamang lumapit kay Jesus at nagtanong kung paano siya makakapunta sa Heaven. Jesus said na, ipamigay ang kanyang kayamanan sa mga mahihirap at sumunod sa Kanya. Living a true Christian life is not at all pleasurable, but you can feel the joy of being a servant to Him, of being close to God.

4)Seeds fell on good soil, of course, namumunga. It produce crops at dumarami if properly taken care of such as continuous watering, fertilizers, etc. These are the true Christians whose words of God has penetrated to their very soul (windows of sin ang soul natin). If words of God is penetrated in our soul. We cannot be moved by  any aweful situations which would cause us to fall away from God.

Sometimes being a true Christian is tantamount to bear the sufferings just like what happened to Paul and Peter.  Hindi ba’t maraming dinanas na pagdurusa si Paul while serving the Lord and he even died in an aweful manner-he was beheaded under the reign of Nero. 

Although there are a lot of Christians who believe that God does not allow His children to suffer, however this is opposite of what Jesus said. 

In Matthew 16: 24-26 

24 Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. 

25 For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will find it. 

26 What good will it be for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul?

A true Christian looks forward for a  reward from the Kingdom of God, which is not of this world. You may suffer on earth, but you will feel the joy of it because you know that God is with you and you will observe with your eyes the sufferings of the wicked because you choose to follow Him. ARE YOU READY FOR THIS?

A Story of God's Miracle in Elijah

We used to see God’s miracle during the time of Moses. Here in the Book of 1 Kings, God has again show His miracles to the people  of Israel.

During that time the Israelites turned away from God , and instead give honor to their god Baal.  One time, Elijah, one of the prophets of whom God was pleased, told the prophets of Baal to meet them at Mount Carmel to have a Faced-Off, and to give proof who’s god is really God. So, all  four hundred fifty Baal prophets went and joined together to prove to the people that their god Baal is god. They have to offer  a bull, cut into pieces and whose offer will be burned without setting fire on it, is the true God. The 450 prophets of Baal were the first to perform. They shouted to Baal, offered dance from morning till noon, till they slashed with swords and spears their body till blood flowed from them.  When the evening comes and no answered from Baal came, to burn their offerings, Elijah told them to come and he will have his turn. So he prepared the  altar putting 12 stones representing the 12 tribes of Israel. He dig a ditch around the woods and  pour water on it. He put the cut bull at the middle of the woods , and he began to pray.

1 Kings 18,3:36-37, “LORD, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel, let it be known today that you are God in Israel and that I am your servant and have done all these things at your command. 37 Answer me, LORD, answer me, so these people will know that you, LORD, are God, and that you are turning their hearts back again.”

38 Then the fire of the LORD fell and burned up the sacrifice, the wood, the stones and the soil, and also licked up the water in the trench. 39 When all the people saw this, they fell prostrate and cried, “The LORD—he is God! The LORD—he is God!” Everybody cried out with surprise.

You see , Elijah just simply pray to the Lord  and he was answered. Do you know how to pray? Why was Elijah's prayer answered right away?

In Matthew 6:9-13, Jesus taught His disciples how to pray. ‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, 10 your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. 11 Give us today our daily bread. 12 And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. 13 And lead us not into temptation,but deliver us from the evil one.’ 14 For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.15 But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.

The prayer is just a pattern of how we should pray to our Almighty Father and not really to say it word for word. First ,(HALLOWED BE THEY NAME) we have to Honor the name of Our Father(God loves to be Honored). As God Almighty has many names,we can say, the Almighty, omnipotent, everlasting God,The God of Miracle, The Healing  God, The Alpha and Omega, God Creator of Heaven and earth, The God of Prophets, God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, Jehovah Jireh,  Jehovah Rafa, The Healing God, God of Light, God of Love, Abba Father, Our King Most High, our One True God , The Infinite God, etc. There are so many things, good adjectives that will describe Our Father. The first part of the prayer is very important. We have to  acknowledge and honor God, then you can say your request(that will be in line with His Will) We have to ask forgiveness and to forgive people who has offended us. We have to end it by giving thanks through our Lord Jesus Christ.

In Matthew 16:23-24, 23 In that day you will no longer ask me anything. Very truly I tell you, my Father will give you whatever you ask in my name. 24 Until now you have not asked for anything in my name. Ask and you will receive, and your joy will be complete

Why was the prayer of Elijah was right away answered by God. First, the request was in line with the Will of the Father-for people to know that He is God. God was pleased with Elijah who  has great intimacy with Lord. I think, I have already mentioned about INTIMACY with the Lord. How do we do this? By constant prayer, reading His words, declaring His goodness in your life, and feel His love. Some people would pray  4 hours just like the Korean Christians. I also mentioned before on my previous email, my sister's friend who put up a ministry inside the ship they worked for. She has great intimacy with Lord God and so her desire's and prayers was right away granted.

The Spirit of Man

Man is made of 3 parts: Body ,Soul and Spirit.

Alam nating lahat ito.When God created man, God get a clay and form a human which He named, Adam and Eve. In Genesis 2” 77 Then the LORD God formed a man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living SOUL.  Our soul is our psyche: an intangible part of the body capable of seeing, hearing, feeling, tasting, smelling, and all our different senses. It is tied with the spirit. So, dito pumapasok ang ating Spirit.When soul and spirit comes together in one it brings our our Mind, Conscience, Will and Emotions. When we are born , our spirit is with us, pero it doesn’t do anything, hanggang magkaroon tayong tamang pagiisip at malaman ang tama at mali. Once we grow up, we became aware of everything around us and sees what’s going on. Remember in 1John 2:6,16 For everything in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—comes not from the Father but from the world. This is always part of our life as we grow in the world.Our will, and conscience, reacts on these once we became knowledgeable of what is good and bad. Kaya ang bata ay hindi pa dapat binibinyagan sa panahong wala pang pagiisip. Water baptism is a public declaration of your  commitment of faith in Christ.How does a child knows about this kung wala pa siyang alam dito at hindi pa alam ang tama at mali. It is not true that if a child died unbaptized, he will not go to Heaven. Remember Jesus said in Matthew 19:14,14 Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” Dahil wala silang muwang sa nangyayari sa mundo.

We have 4 stages in committing a sin: thoughts, desire and action, Example: You were introduced to a person that at the very first glance you were attracted to him or her. Your next step is to desire to come closer to him or her. You made wild imagination of him or her, which puts you in a stressful situations(wild imaginations comes with sin).You will do all means to getting him or her.  Minsan it is more complicated kasi it’s either you are committed or the other person is committed or a different situation where both of you are same sex. If your spiritual body does not feed the words of God, you will be into carnal ( a spirit that is earthly, sensual and devilish). At dito magkakaron ka ng problema, because you are in that situation where you went apart where God wants you to be. It creates and internal war in you. 14Galatians 5:16–17 ,16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. 17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.

Kaya po tayo dapat always fills our spirit with the words of God, kasi if we do not do this, we will be apart from God at maraming problema ang dumarating sa situation na wala ang Words of God sa atin at dito pumapasok ang napakaraming problema na nagbibigay ng sakit sa atin: in mind and in spirit. In Hebrews 4:12,’’12 For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. 

Brothers and sisters,hindi ako nagmamalinis,we all sins. I still do sins even the words of God is with me.Sometimes we are unaware that we have already committed a sin. If you are with God, you will be keen, pero malakas ang spiritu ng kaaway(the devil) na minsan nawawala sa isip mo. Specially if you are too busy and do not feed your spirit with the words of God daily, hihina ka and you will know the outcome. It happens to me and the more it will be on people who does not read the Words of God. Nanghihina din ako, but I  persevere, because God has promises and He is always faithful to His promises, and I am always looking forward to those promises. Maniwala po kayo na ang Salita ng Dios ay magbibigay ng malaking pagbabago sa buhay. Hindi man ito mapapansin ng iba, but inside you a big changes has come. Because this time the Spirit of God is within you. We have to fill our spirit with the words of God as a fight to the evil spirit who comes to destroy us, so that we will be apart from our God. Sabi nga ni Jesus, ‘Man does not live by bread alone, but from the words that preceded from the mouth of God.

Brothers and sisters, maiksi na po ang panahon,nalalapit na po talaga. Please look for God by reading His Words. God loves us so much. He wants you to come to Him.The words of God is wisdom and the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom.

Sins of Man

10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. 11 “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.

A verse from Book of John 10:10-11

All people should know that when Satan came to earth it started doomsday for all mankind. Should have Adam and Eve did not sin, we could have not suffered from the sin they made. This started everything that made us suffer including the generational curse. But, when Jesus came to earth, He came to save us from this creation(Satan) who wants to kill, steal and destroy every human being. Satan posed as good shepherd so we can be induced to his kingdom. Lahat ng mga pagdurusang ating dinaranas was coming from the Devil. We may look at face value of something that will lured us into it , and later suffered from it. However, if we accept Jesus, the good Shepherd who saved us, we will no longer suffer this. No longer Satan can deceive us, because God will give us discernment  to look things through.Ngunit hindi dahil tinanggap mo lamang si Jesus ay okay na. You have to follow as He said. The sheeps know their master at ito ay kanilang sinusunod kahit saan magpunta. Kaya may dalang kahoy ang sheep’s  attendant upang walang mahiwalay at ito ang sinusundan ng mga sheeps. Likewise, with the sheep’s master, alam din niya at kilala niya  ang kanyang mga alaga.

If you choose Jesus as your master, you will be safe in His haven. You need to accept Him as your Savior by declaring it and doing as He said, because He gave himself to the devil to suffer , but was victorious. Through His victory, we will have the same victory-victory over fear, sickness, poverty, addiction and all things that makes  us suffer. I hope you feel the peace that I’m experiencing with Him. If problems arise, you know that there’s something good out of it. Si Jesus lamang ang nakagawa ng pagdurusang yun sa calvary, walang iba. Hindi ba natin maintindihan ito? Why do we come to Mary and other saints to request something or to pray? Every year we watch on television the suffering of our Christ and still we do the thing God hated so much. It’s not that we do good deeds , we are saved. No, it’s also a lie from the Devil. IT’S ONLY THROUGH JESUS CHRIST THAT WE WILL BE SAVED. At dahil Siya lamang ang nakagawa nito(cross in calvary) para sa atin, hindi ba dapat lamang na magtiwala tayo sa Kanya at sa Kanya lang tayo lumapit sa kung ano mang pangangailangan natin? Nakakalungkot lang that still a lot of people are blinded by the Satan’s belief of how to live a happy, peaceful life. Satan is a liar, a great deceiver of mankind. Ex. Of the lies of Satan-you are poor and have no chance na makapagaral or guminhawa, or disabled and no chance to change their situation in life, or you’ll be happy in a forbidden relationship, etc. We have reproof of these lies from Satan. We can watched on television reproof of those people who were successful and victorious over their seemingly hopeless situation.

There’s so much things to say, pero pag mahaba nakakatamad basahin. Bakit hindi nating simulan na manalangin sa pangalan lamang ni Jesus. Yun naman ang sinabi Niya( sa mga nauna kong pahayag) Pray anything you want to say to Our Father and always thanks God and always offer the prayer in Jesus name. Ganun lang kasimple and you will see the changes in the long run of doing it. For everything you received, thank Jesus, to cry over a situation, thank Jesus. Pray unceasingly, sabi nga ni God.

Ginagawa ko to dahil gusto kong makilala Niyo ang ating Panginoon, upang kayo ay maligtas and in the same way kayo ang magligtas sa bawat miyembro ng pamilya niyo pag lubus nyo na Siyang nakilala.

Spread the good news of salvation to every nation, yun ang bilin Niya . God is truth and He is faithful to His Words. Below is a joyful words from God. Why don't you read it!

Jeremiah 29:

11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. 

12 Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. 

13 You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.
