23 For you have been born again not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God.

I would like to share the words given by God during our prayer meeting. I can feel it was inspired by the Holy Spirit.I had mentioned before that salvation can be lost. It's not because you accepted Christ, you are already saved. When we say born again, we lost our old one and  now become new in Jesus Christ.In the garden of Eden, there were 2 trees-tree of knowledge and the tree of life. Remember that God gave men and same with angels free will. However, Eve and Adan chose the tree of knowledge than tree of life. God cannot be wrong. We know He is perfect, so that when man chose the tree of knowledge  because he has free will and which lead him to sin. Should man chose tree of life, we will not have this life, but a heavenly one. God knows it will happen, and still has plans for man. So, the word who became Jesus Christ in the human form was sent to earth to give the words of God. Jesus Christ is the WORD of God to fight the words of the devil. You see, Jesus was there when everything was created by God, because He is the word of God. According to John 1:14-18," and the Word became flesh and dwelt amongst us".

When Jesus came to us as human flesh, we become born again in our own free will.We choose to follow Jesus, and when we accepted Him we are purified by obeying the truth. Jesus is the word of God who will fight the word of the devil. So, therefore, we should be like Christ, for God said, He is Holy and so we should be holy, too.  Once we know the word of God which is the truth, we should not conform to this world, we should be self controlled. And, by obeying the truth we will have sincere love for our brothers and sisters. So, God molded us to prepare for His kingdom. At diyan darating ang maraming pagsubok sa atin upang tayo'y kinisin at upang maging handa sa Kanyang pagbabalik.  Sabi nga ni Jesus in Matthew 24:12Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, 13 but he who stands  firm to the end will be saved. 14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come. So, we must stand firm to fight the evil of this world para makasama Niya tayo sa kaharian ng langit. Therefore, once we are born again and we go back to the same old self - i.e. you were an adulterous person and when you accepted Jesus  you get away with it. However, after awhile,you went back to the same old self- adulterous, nagback slide ka na nun. Therefore, you are no longer part of His Kingdom and are no longer save. In Luke 13: 24 Jesus said, "Make every effort to enter through the narrow door, because many, I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able to. You, see, why would God tell this kung basta inaccept natin si Jesus ay OK na, which was a wrong connotation of many born again Christians. So, being a born again Christian does not end in accepting Jesus. We have to work hard to stand firm against evil in this world. Marami daw gustong pumasok pero hindi makakapasok at maiiwan sila sa labas where there will be gnashing of teeth and people will be thrown out to hell.


Let's keep o praying, read our bible, join community sharing word of God during rest day or Sundays(if you're off). Let's bear in ourselves the words of God to fight evilness in this world, so we can continue with Him till His second coming.

MESSAGE FROM GOD-JULY 24

This was the message of God upon reading today July 24 at 3am this morning:
JEREMIAH 5:20-25 :21 Hear this, you foolish and senseless people, who have eyes but do not see, who have ears but do not hear:  22 Should you not fear me?" declares the LORD. "Should you not tremble in my presence? I made the sand a boundary for the sea, an everlasting barrier it cannot cross. The waves may roll, but they cannot prevail; they may roar, but they cannot cross it.23 But these people have stubborn and rebellious hearts; they have turned aside and gone away. 24 They do not say to themselves, 'Let us fear the LORD our God, who gives autumn and spring rains in season, who assures us of the regular weeks of harvest.25Your wrongdoings have kept these away; your sins have deprived you of good.

We all pray for our request to God because we believe that there is God who grants our request through prayers. However, most of our prayers are not answered. Let's stop for awhile and think what we have done why our request were not granted. According to the words of God from Jeremiah 5:20-25,  we have created a barrier that made our prayers not granted.

 

I will give an example. I have a friend who for  almost 10 years of their marriage have not been granted  a child. They actually have saved  money for their plan (according to their doctor)so she can bear a child. One day, one of her closest friend(closer like relatives when they treat one another)was
borrowing money from her so she(her close friend) can have the chance to go abroad. Because that was a one time opportunity for her. However, my friend told her other that she don't have money to 
lend her. Actually, gusto ko sabihin sa kanya nun na ipahiram na niya. I'm not yet Christian during that time, but I can feel negative outcome to that effect.Kasi nararamdaman ko na yun ang magiging dahilan ng di pagtupad ng kanyang pangarap na magkaanak. She's now 44 at wala pa ding anak, but you know I didn't have the courage to tell her about it. Sabi nga sa Proverbs 16 : 1-3 1 To man belong the plans of the heart, but from the LORD comes the reply of the tongue2 All a man's ways seem innocent to him, but motives are weighed by the LORD. 3 Commit to the LORD whatever you do, and your plans will succeed) Kaya magplano man tayo ng magplano, ngunit Dios ang nagpapatupad nito.
                                                                    

I have another example. On my case, syempre my hinihiling din ako sa Dios,which I fervently hope and waiting. I can feel that He will grant it to me. However, bakit nadedelay?Sometimes, I have an attitude of selfishness. Ex. My sister's daughter is living with us together with her common law husband (kasi hindi sila kasal) and of course, the 4 kids. Whenever he would eat and would not

 did not give money for food, I'm pissed of...kasi hindi sya nagbibigay kahit lumabas siya ng biyahe. Nagsusugal kasi siya at mga bata pinaasa sa min ng kapatid ko who is his mother in law.  Sometimes we cannot overcome evilness in us. Because of my reasons about him which are worldly reasons. Of course, God does not want us to have that kind of attitude. We should always imbued love in the midst of hatred

Napagisipan nyo na ba during past or present kung may hiningi kayo and were not granted. Have you realized the barriers?
