Forgive me for I have long overdue QT. I am very happy to having spending time with Him again. This morning I was really happy to have talked to someone whom I haven't seen for a long time via fb chat. I was also very thankful to God that I found my glasses again after losing it for 2 weeks! Praise God! To have a talk with my sister regarding that "direction" in life. Happy too that I will be coming home soon too, but with a bittersweet feeling.

Asking for prayers for my health, it's my last week and I feel like getting sick but a little bit better now. For my consistency in my QT. For that "direction" in my life. For my brothers who, like me, the "walk" with You Father. My grandfather, who I pray that he "loosens" up a little.

All for the Glory of God, amen!

P.S. Thank You Father, amen!

I really like the message today of how we should surrender to God.

"If you received the witness of the Spirit before the reality and truth that comes from obedience, it would simply result in sentimental emotion. But when you act on the basis of redemption, and stop the disrespectfulness of debating with God, He immediately gives His witness. As soon as you abandon your own reasoning and arguing, God witnesses to what He has done, and you are amazed at your total disrespect in having kept Him waiting. If you are debating as to whether or not God can deliver from sin, then either let Him do it or tell Him that He cannot. Do not quote this or that person to Him. Simply obey Matthew 11:28 , “Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden . . . .” Come, if you are weary, and ask, if you know you are evil (see Luke 11:9-13)."

Simply amazing. All for the Glory of God, amen!

Luke 17 : 20 - 21 - utmost.org(10.19.12)

I'm asking for prayers my brothers for my quiet time. I'm really having a hard time for the past few days and I have lost the consistency of my quiet time. I continue to seek my steadfast relationship with our Savior.

I would like to ask for forgiveness. Whenever I see my friends back home, I miss being with them. I have the sin of envy in my heart. I have it so much that I want to shun away from them and focus on my career when I get home so that I don't get to see them as much as I want. Even my friends who are together with in my walk.

It is good to be reminded of Christ's Kingdom who is in our midst. He is in our hearts, we just have to seek Him. I need You Father.

I would also like to pray for my friends who have asked for prayers.

All for the Glory of our Father, Jesus. Amen!

1 Chronicles 14 : 8 - 17

I admire David for his dependency and faith in the Father. It showed that God will not forsake you, "if you seek Him, and ask anything, it shall be given."

I encourage to those who read my blog, to be dependent on Him, like a child and glorify Him, continue to seek Him in whatever you're doing and what you're about to do, big or small decisions, amen!

All for the glory of God, amen!

It took Moses 40 years before God made him ready. I'm really amazed by how our Father makes us grow in Him.

I really liked how moses was molded by our Father to do His will. Our Father's promise is also something to look forward to as well, "If you are going through a time of discouragement, there is a time of great personal growth ahead."

All for the Glory of God, amen.

Luke 11 : 24 - 26

My dear brothers, I'm asking for prayers. I'm having a hard time with my quiet time. For what I understand with this verse as it is also explained, if we become complacent with our spiritual journey, we will be overcome by our sins.

I pray for one another that may we become more vigilant with each step we take towards our Father. I'm also praying, God willing, if I should try the life here or go back to the Philippines and help with the family business. I'm praying for my career, that in anyway I can, glorify God, or His will be done.

Philippines is great because all my friends are there. But because I'm here, I feel that I am left out. That slowly, I should slowly let go.

I really admire the people who are seldom present during gatherings, yet when they show up, they don't feel left out or anything.

I guess I'm just really homesick or I really miss my friends back home in the Philippines. I lift everything to You Father, amen.

All for the Glory of God, amen!

Luke 10 : 38 - 42

We are reminded of who we're serving. At first Martha was righteous when she welcomed Jesus in her house and was very hospitable to Jesus but when she got envy of Mary not helping her, her heart was not already with the Father.

Somehow, we are like Martha, eager to please the Lord in serving. But when we strive to other than what God wants us to do is wrong already. So let us be reminded to keep our hearts in check, amen.

All for the glory of God, amen!

Luke 10 : 25 - 37

A very timely passage for me. I praise God to have been able to join dgroup again after a few weeks of absences and such a blessing it is to share God's blessings through my brothers in Christ.

I praise God to have sent us 2 more friends that who seeks You Father. We we're given an assignment by our dgroup leader about showing our faith to someone without expecting in return. Praise God has lead me to this parable.

Jesus asked the lawyer who he thinks was the neighbor to the the man who fell to the robbers, the lawyer answered Jesus that it was the one who showed compassion.

Compassion is part of love. I claim that this parable will help with the assignment I have been given. I pray that we glorify You Father with the task at hand. We claim in faith that Your will be done Father. May we learn what You want us to learn Father, amen!

Praying for our dgroup leader Bryan, that may he continue to be humble and blessed salt and light to us. Father, continue to use him to do Your will. Praying for his success in his business Father, may he not be blinded by worldly desires and continue to worship and obey You. For our brother Byron, may you strengthen him more Father, grant him Your protection Father, protect him from anything that does not glorify You Father. Jason with his work, may he not forget You in a single moment of his life. May he be always be reminded of You. Guide him Father to You. Would also like to pray for Clifford, for whatever sins he has done to anyone and to those who have sinned against him in the past, present and future. Lord, we know You are molding us to Your will, let us embrace it Father and not deny You. For our brother AP as well, may he find "love" in You. May he find You in the one You have for him. Bless his relationship with You Father. To our new brothers Bryan and Collin. You have blessed us and them for having to worship together in Your name. We ask of You to be a testimony to each other, use us Father to fishers of men to seek You together and worship You and glorify You, amen!

All for the Your Glory, amen!

Psalm 139:14

I praise God to be constantly be reminded of this verse. I pray that we too be reminded by it everyday of how and why God loves us.

Forgive me Father for I have sinned. I ask for Your forgiveness Father.

Praying for that guidance that my Father has made for me, that I may not go astray, amen.

All for the Glory of God, amen!

Galatians 6 : 14 - 18

May it ALL be about the Father. Just this morning I praise God that I have felt "dependent" on Him. I lost what I bought during the tour and it costs me a lot of money, and it was medicine for my grandfather. I have said nothing but thoughts in my head:"please God, help me find it. I need You." Praise God I found it.

That night, I sleep alone every night since Tuesday night in my room. I have always tempted with lust because I am all alone in my room. I praise God that I seek Him and that He has helped me control it.

I kept thanking my Father when I found the medicines that I bought for my grandfather and my victory against lust.

All for the Glory of God, amen!

Luke 9:57-62

How will I respond when the time comes my Father "really" asked me? Or how do I respond whenever He calls me? I pray Father, to that "yes" and "immediately" and by Your will with how I respond my Father.

We usually "think twice" when we do something, because we're not sure if we're called or tempted by the other. That is why we ask for decernment. But isn't it contradicting?

Father, there are no accidents, everything is according to You, amen.

Exodus 23 : 20 - 23

An assurance from my Father. I'm feeling what Ickhoy might have felt when he atteneded his first retreat. Alone and a stranger. Here I am now, I should be happy that I am on a different country and I should be excited. But I feel alone and a stranger to my ancestral language.

But the Father has assured me not to be afraid. I thank You Father.

Praying for our new brothers that like Clifford, that we may get to know them more and grow with them in faith. Thank You Father for the answered prayers, amen!

All for the Glory of God, amen!

Acts 12 : 1 - 16

Finally went to Sunday service and got to meet new friends. I liked what the message today. It told the story of Peter's Miracle of escape from prison. He was so calm during his ordeal, that's how strong his faith is in Him.

I pray that like Peter, we have his faith in Him. At peace and confident our Father will not forsake us. Amen!


All for the Glory of God, amen!
