Your New Beginning has begun!


 Ecclesiastes 3:11 “God has made everything fit beautifully in its appropriate time, but he has also placed ignorance in the human heart so that people cannot discover what God has ordained from the beginning to the end of their lives”.

New Beginnings: We often see these in wedding ads and for us single people, it brings a leap in our hearts whenever we see this. Every single lady I know has her own wedding dream. If this is about to take place, would we just wait for “THE DAY”? Of course NOT! We would definitely plan for it. So think about it, if there is something MAJOR that you want to happen in your life, would you not plan for it?

We plan simply because we want to succeed. We never plan to fail, but why does plan fail sometimes? We surely have a lot of questions in mind, but in the end of it all there is just one answer, because God’s plan for our lives always prevails. Failure is not God's set-back for us, but rather a DETOUR for the SUCCESS He had promised. In the famous verse of Jeremiah, God said that He certainly knows the plans He have for us, to prosper and not to harm us, to give us a FUTURE full of HOPE. So, how does New Beginnings got something to do with our failed plans? Actually there is, because every failed plan only has one road to take next, and that is to have NEW BEGINNINGS.


2012 has passed, and there are probably a lot of failed plans but what God has instilled in our hearts is that we have a lot of things to start over. If a season closed for 2012, we have the privilege to begin and get on our feet in the YEAR 2013.
Personally, the journey of the past year has been a roller coaster ride. Major Up and Down turns where it’s hard for me to catch breath. Major life changing decisions that were so out of what I have imagined. But after all that has happened, God was faithful that I was able to get on my feet again and see the sunrise. He did not close the season for me without my capacity to smile once again.


Life is like a beautiful puzzle creation, there will be times that we are forming a part of the BIG PICTURE where we become inspired and wishing things would just last like the way they are now. But then, there will be pieces that we may find odd in the beginning, we look at what’s happening and we tell ourselves it doesn't make sense at all. But we would be reminded that there is a blue print that God has finished long before we were born and those odd pieces makes the whole picture complete. But for its completion, we have to experience different puzzle pieces. It’s His purpose to make things mysterious and undiscovered with our human eyes.



If there are two words to describe what I have learned in 2012, it’s TRUST and SURRENDER. Let everything happen in God’s time, trust that He has the finished product of the beautiful life He has created for you and surrender all that is in you. It is when you truly surrender, God will surprise of what He can do in your life, and it’s far more than what you can imagine. He will not just awaken your dreams; He will even materialize the secret desires of your heart. TODAY, your NEW BEGINNING has begun!

Message of St. Michael the Archangel... August 19, 1996

Can Man Support Himself On Nothing?
August 19, 1996
(Saint Michael, the Archangel.)
child of the Father and of the Most High, spouse of the Spouse, garden of the Holy Spirit, fruit of the Most Holy Trinity, do you know what "fear of the Lord" means? it means hatred of all that is evil and opposite to God; God is good, meek, gentle, merciful, love and the Truth;
let your soul then be fearing God and allow God to perfect you; the fear of the Lord is the beginning of Wisdom and Wisdom is given to mere children for it is to such as these that the kingdom of heaven belongs; so unless you change your hearts1 and become free of malice you will never enter into God's kingdom;
ah .... have you not heard, how Our Creator, thrice Holy, triumphant over all, had wept with tears of joy while He was creating you? yes, it is this same God, who is the Most High, the great and living God, to whom you owe your life, who created you, that the world today has turned against Him;
how can anyone believe that they will escape God's Justice? all is for ever under the Eye of God, and what He sees as crimes and offences on His Holiness outweigh the sands of the seas .... for how long will He see His Image profaned? can man support himself on nothing, and for how long? refusing Faithful Love is to refuse Life; yet the God they have forgotten has never forgotten them;
I can now plead for mercy for all of you, especially for those amongst you whose hearts are the hardest; the weak and the needy have to be rescued and saved from the clutches of the evil one, who plots the fall of God's people; so come! revive your prayers to Me and I shall intercede; come! with a single mind to save God's children, come and pray! while I am giving you this warning, there are those who would not listen; - ask for My intercession and I will protect you and defend you from evil and his dominion;
- as heaven praises God's wonders, praise, you too, the Most High, your Creator, without ceasing, for who in the skies can compare with the Almighty One? who among the sons of God can rival Him? His Throne like the sun before me cries out: "Justice!" once the Holy One has spoken, His Word will be accomplished, and Justice will be done by fire;
but for those whose heart was pleasing to God who cried out to Him: "You are my Father, my God, the Rock of my salvation!" so will they be made God's first-born, and will not fear in the Day He will come by fire;
soon, Yahweh means to pass through among you; let me hear your fervent prayers, then ask yourselves: "what will the Day of the Lord mean for me?" and anyone who conspires evil, will be working for his own ruin; this is why I tell you: come and sow seeds of peace and reconciliation, so that your fruit will be agreeable to the Almighty and heaven will be your compensation;
Saint Michael, God's Archangel;

An Excerpt from True Life in God


I Shall Draw You Into A Greater Interior Life

July 3, 1996

Are You the One
who flashes Your Light in our hearts?
I Am;
Are You, Shaddai,
whom we considered so far beyond our reach,
that now show Yourself to us,
You who are clothed in fearful splendour?
behold! I Am;
Theme, and Song of my life,
are You really doing something
that exceeds our knowledge and understanding?
I Am; I am fulfilling My Promise;
Ointment of my eyes, am I seeing right?
are You, in Your faithful Love,
despatching from above Your Holy Spirit?
I Am;
yes! how much more could I have spoken? Vassula, you see? I am coming down to be with you; My beloved ones, the Father said He will keep neither the records nor take account in His books, 1 but He will send you an outpour of His Holy Spirit quicker than planned;
why, the Evil one is challenging My Power and his threats are pouring down against My Church; so why do I have to delay or keep silent anymore? now, I, Myself, will challenge him with the Power of My Holy Spirit and draw each one of you into My Sacred Heart; I will draw all of you who want into an intimate union with Me, so that many of you will be favoured with the mystery of your Salvation, which is My Cross; I will enwrap your soul and keep you thus, in perfect union with Me;
and by grace I shall draw from you greater sacrifices, greater amendments; I shall draw you into a greater interior life and higher forms of prayer .... and, just as the Son of Man did not come to be served but to serve, I will teach you too, to do the same;
and you, little child, bear My Cross of Unity, together with Me and allow yourself to be guided by My Spirit, He will be the Sign for you and your guarantee, 2 that you come from Me; My favour rests upon you;
- I still have many favours in store for you, generation, favours that will lead you into sanctity and into My Kingdom; so I tell you, you who would be ready to judge, do not start judging according to appearances, prematurely, let your judgement mature and be according to what is good and right;
- today I cry out as I once did in Jerusalem: "if anyone is thirsty, come! let him come to Me! come and drink, you who believe in Me! for from My Sacred Heart flows fountains of living water! come and refresh yourselves, come and revive! then, the light of your eyes will become the light of My Spirit;"
- many of you have made out of My Kingdom a Kingdom of words alone; I tell you: My Kingdom is Power; 3 I will visit anyone who thirsts for Me in one way or another, and with great power I will restore My Kingdom;
I thank You that You are pouring out
Your Riches, Your Gifts and Your Favours on us, O Lord!
With the Power of Your Spirit,
You will destroy the wisdom of the wise
and bring to nothing all the learning of the learned;
You will scatter the philosophers and bring them down;
O Holy One, come!
demonstrate the Power of Your Power, 4
demonstrate the Power of Your Holy Spirit,
demonstrate the Power of Your Goodness,
demonstrate the Power of Your Faithfulness,
Your Intimacy, Your Joy, and Your Love;
Leavened we must become; 5
grant us then this favour, O Lord,
grant us this favour to overpower evil,
and get rid of all the old yeast of evil and wickedness
that still remains in us,
by replacing it by a fresh batch of yeast!
listen: My Spirit will wield His Great Authority over many nations and adjudicate between many people; 6this will be done to fulfil the words when I asked you to prophesy;
Goodness is with you! never doubt .... seek Me always, it pleases Me; seek Me always, it pleases Me; let your hand remain in Mine and you shall not wander astray ....
I bless you;

The cool change….



My friend, Khalil, recently made a decision to finally quit smoking. He has been enslaved by it for so many years; in spite of serving the community he was having a hard time quitting. Everyone was thrilled and probably wondered the big reason of such recent decision. Tons of reasons came to all of us, but there is just one thing that summarizes them all. He decided to love himself more.
Broken Chains How Is God Setting You Free?I remember how NO to Smoking collaterals are being spread by a lot of healthcare foundation; they put pictures of lungs infected by nicotine. As well as the effects of it to our heart and brain, but in spite all of these, smokers most likely to stop out of fear of what they have seen but later on would back slide to their old habits.
I don’t mean to offend anyone but I have been thinking the reason of someone slavery to smoking. I realize that part of loving oneself does not limit us to make us feel good, but rather loving every part our anatomy which has been fearfully and wonderfully made by the Almighty. My friend decided to finally quit it because he learned to love himself more because God give him the grace of love in spite of his shortcomings. After deciding to love himself more, he has seen the great WHY in his life why will he stick to his decision to change. Honestly, I have not asked his great WHY but he recently share his desire to have a family someday. Connecting it to his decision, it seems that his great WHY is out of his desire to have a long life for his future wife, his future children and his future grandchildren.
Decision to change that happen to my friend does not only apply to that particular vice, it can be with our vices of being temperamental, being a worrier, being a doubter. Whatever it is, that cool change in our lives is a decision of loving ourselves more and to maintain choosing the good is to establish a GREAT WHY that would keep us going.

Open the Doors and Be blessed!



When God wants to bless you, He sends a person in your life.
When the devil wants to destroy you, he sends a person in your life.How can we tell the difference? By knowing your people connections.

Your success depends on the quality of people you are connected to, and there are two types of people you'll come in contact with throughout your lifetime:

  1) Those who add and multiply, making you more than you are;  
  2) And those who subtract and divide, thereby devaluing you.

Never allow people into your life without knowing their agenda.  
Find out where they came from and why they want to be connected to you.
When a person is in your life and your life is declining, they are not a God connection!
A healthy connection will protect your self-worth even when you're experiencing a season of pain
or struggling with a failure in your life.
 
 
A true God connection will never abandon his assignment until you reach your full potential! Stay Blessed & have an Awesome God inspiring week .

Father in the name of Jesus Christ the Son of the Living God, I pray you open doors for the person who reads this as well as those who will share this blog too. Only you can open doors no man can close and for that we honor you today.
I seal this prayer in Jesus 'name, Amen!!!
  
If you need God to open a door, pray this prayer.  Believe in your heart and you shall receive it.
I need a door opened...

No Boundaries!


 “For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 39 neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 8:38-39



It’s been a while since I last have my blog written. The Lord reminded me of those people who are being move of what I am sharing to this God given instrument. Its been shaky friends but there are still a lot of reason to smile. God is here as I struggle with certain things. 

 I want to share a funny miracle that happened to me last two weeks ago. Yes! Funny and Creepy as well… It was late Saturday night when I realized I was the only one awake at home. I decided to freshen up and went to bed. As I went fast asleep in the point of being in a sleeping state, I’m having weird mini nightmares. So I decided to transfer on our couch and sleep there. When I closed my eyes and realized that I am dreaming, I saw my late neighbor who passed on late last year standing in our garage as if saying something, so scared that I saw her in the other side of our SUV. I felt the relief because there was a car in between us, and then I saw the car moved and she is just a “slide” away from me. I was so terrified that I made my best effort to wake up. Thank God I did, and right after I got up, there was something inside me telling me to go to the garage and check our gate if it was locked. I followed and checked and to my astonishment, the gate was not locked!It’s been a while since I last have my blog written.

If not for what happened, something bad might have happened. You know what, it might be creepy for you or weird in some sense but to me, it’s the GOODNESS of my God. He loves me so much that He allowed “friends” to communicate for my safety. He was true to His promise that nothing will separate His love for us. He has definitely no boundaries in making miracles happen.

Here in my Heart


On my way to work this morning I was uttering a silent prayer to see Jesus in my circumstances. I entered 7-11 and heard this music. I know this is a secular love song and I know this for quit sometime but this morning... God gave me this as his love song for me. You too can listen to this its as if its the Lord's message for you:





****Here in my heart***

Wherever you are tonight girl
I'll see you in my dreams
Wherever I go tomorrow
You'll be here next to me

And though we are a world apart
I know you'll never be that far

'Cause here in my heart
There's a picture of us
(Of us)
Together forever
Unfaded and unbroken

Wherever you are
Your love covers me
Forever more
(Forever more)
You'll be here in my heart

Whenever I miss
(I miss)
Miss you so much
It's more than I can bear

Now I won't cry
(I won't cry)
I'll just close my eyes and know
You'll be there

Your kiss and your touch
(Kiss and your touch)
I'll never forget
'Cause you're as close as my very next breath

Here in my heart
There's a picture of us
Together forever
Unfaded and unbroken

Wherever you are
Your love covers me
Forever more
(Forever more)
You'll be here in my heart

And though we are
(I know we are)
A world apart
I know you'll never be that far
(Far)

'Cause here in my heart
There's a picture of us
Together forever
Unfaded and unbroken

Wherever you are
Your love covers me
Forever more
(Forever more)
You'll be here in my heart

My heart

JUST DO IT...



How often do we invite people with our well-planned parties where in you have 100 expected guests but only 30 people came? Don’t you notice that failed relationship always has broken promises? As simple as wanting to lose weight but we don't do something about it? All of these things happen because we say YES but we don't EXECUTE. Friends, sole intention does not count. This is because PURELY INTENTION has no result, thus it will not lead us to success.
  
Success manifest through EXECUTION and there are three principles to make it happen. Good execution happens if when we START and when we start NOW. No matter how great a plan is it would not be manifested if we don’t act. I think both Science and Religion agrees to this. Albert Einstein once said that NOTHING HAPPENS UNTIL SOMETHING MOVES as Jesus taught that Faith WITHOUT ACTION is dead. By Starting, we create ACTION and ACTION produces RESULTS.

The second principle is that when we start, we should start SMALL. We need to learn to catch the small fish before we go to the big ones. If we will take a closer look at the success stories of people, there is always one denominator, and that is they all have HUMBLE BEGGININGS. Manny Pacquiao did not fight prominent boxers right away, he started small boxing fights in his local place with anyone whom he can do a match. Steven Spielberg did not start with the renowned film as big as Titanic, he started with low-budgeted movies and from there he went bigger and bigger. Jesus Christ has instructed this to his disciples in Acts 1:8 “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” He did not just say to be my witnesses to the ends of the earth right away. If we want change or bless people, it is God telling us to start with the small and reachable group of people such as your family and friends.



The third principle is START AGAIN. When our business model fails, relationships fail, or when we fail ourselves. We don’t just AIM and FIRE, we should AIM again then FIRE again. Success is a CONTINOUS GROWTH. If we STOP growing, we will start DYING. Believers of Christ should not lose HOPE. Do not AIM for perfect execution but AIM for PERSISTENT execution. Instead of leaning to our PAST FAILURES, let us anticipate the GOOD THINGS in the FUTURE.  Let us all trust God that He CAN do AMAZING things in our lives. We have a BIG GOD at our back so don’t be afraid, let’s JUST DO IT.  

“Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might, for in the realm of the dead, where you are going, there is neither working nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom.
Ecclesiastes 9:10

God gives us reasons to SMILE everyday....


Sometimes when things are going tough we find so much effort to smile. Even the reason for smiling is God’s miracle for all of us. We might not see it as a miracle but come to observe people around. There are people who are blessed to be cheerful, some people though find so hard to put a simple smile on their face as if they have been conceived in the wrong way (peace!). If you can relate to these types of people, I want to recommend praying for God a reason for you to smile every day! Yes, as simple as this can be prayed for. J Ask and we shall receive! If on the other hand you are the type of person that can easily put laughter on their faces, find time to bless other people to be infected with you smile. You can also pray for people who find it hard to smile. They maybe need healing and acceptance. We’ll never know, your smile on them may be a start of their healing.


Today, God gave my reason to smile! The past few weeks were not so good for me and to be honest, I find it difficult to add article on my blog so last night before I sleep and prayed to God to give me a reason to smile when I woke up. True enough, He never ever failed me. Today I received a great news, I passed my licensing exam. J

The Miracle of Support Team


Growing up, I was looking for a community to join in. My purpose is to meet a lot of people. I love meeting new friends and hearing their stories. It amazes me how things are being moved by God that works for that person and for the people in his circle. Their stories inspires me to get on my feet and that God has blessed me so much because some of their trials are really inevitable and cannot imagine if it would be bearable for me. As I grow with them, little did I know that God will use my community to save my life in a way I never have imagined.

 Last Thanksgiving of 2010, I thought I just had an ordinary flu, but on the third day when my fever finally went down, I experienced extraordinary bleeding of gums while brushing my teeth.

I was brought to ER to have my platelets checked, finding out that from 180 dropped to 87 (Btw the bracket of a normal platelet count ranges to 400-120). I was advised to be confined knowing that it is a suspected Dengue fever. Platelet count of 84 went down to 45, the doctors in Asian Hospital advised to get ready for a blood donation. Then I found out that my blood type B+ was not an easy blood type to look for. Asian Hospital’s blood bank doesn’t have my blood type so I have to look outside.  From 45 went down 20 then down to 14 then to 9.

God being so gracious had given me the chance to serve two communities and my brothers and sisters from my Light of Jesus Community and Singles for Christ. They have tapped every person that can donate blood. There will be times when someone knocks at my room asking if I am the one in need of blood. A lot of helping hand and prayers were handed over to me. Not only God saved me but He has given me the realization of the miracle He has made in the support team I have.

7 days of Reflection- Day 7 "What Changes do You Want to Happen?"


They say that the only thing constant in this world is CHANGE. I would not wonder why, because God gives us a lot of opportunity to become the best of what we can be. He makes sure that what he created is destined to be the best and the only way to do that is to constantly have a positive change. CHANGE is GROWTH. When growth stops the next thing to happen is to diminish the negative side of change.
Change is one of the miracles that God made on this earth. Imagine a former drug user, womanizer transforms to be a Church leader. Prisoners being transformed as God-fearing individuals, but we don’t have to be to that extent to change.
Last two weeks ago at the feast a challenge was given to us and I can share that with you. Pick a habit that you will change in 30 days. It can be anything like saying a prayer before you wake up in the morning or to clean your room every day. Anything that you will not miss for the next 30 days and you will be amaze how God will transform that little habit into something big.
Once you develop a new habit, try to look for a bad habit again and do it for the next 30 days. Not 21 (I know it takes only 21 days to become a habit) 30 because we aim for excellence! J
What I’ll do is to imagine my dreams before going to sleep as if they are already real until I see them come true in Jesus Name!
So what changes do you want to happen? Start now!

7 Day Reflection- Day 6: My timing is PERFECT so Trust in Me

Sometimes when we are dumbfounded with the things going on in our lives, it’s very likely that we check with our friends as our benchmark. We have seen where have they been and where we are at the moment. We will see all those who are already successful, has launched their businesses, which got married and already have their families of their own. We see all the good things on them and started to look how loser we became compare to them.

Then we will ask the Lord “Why can’t I be like that?” Why can’t I drive this failure in my life?” Why am I alone?” Even if I’m a good person and have plans why can’t I succeed like my other friends?”When this happens, insecurities develop and we will fall into this pit of hopelessness until it will be so hard to get up. We will feel miserable until we almost drive out the important person in our lives because we don’t see goodness in ourselves anymore.  

If we only realize how little our faith is. We need to fill our love tanks with the love of God. Wounded soldiers as we are, God gave us people that will carry us through to inspire us, support us, and guide us. Only if we realize to believe, He will reveal the magnificent tomorrow He provided for us.  Anything is possible to anyone who believes. Fear, depression, distress, anxieties are mountains that prohibit us to grow. But Perfect Love casts out all of them. Then healing comes in, our eyes will slowly see the good things that no other person can do but you.

If you think you are behind them, you’re wrong… because God knows that you still have to undergo some lessons in life for you to be ready for the things He for have aspire you to have. You are just in a different time frame. If God can only tell us “You wouldn’t like it Child if I give this to you now. I’m telling you it’s going to be a serious problem and I love you too much to see you get in trouble… Just hold on My child, because I will never be late to answer you, but I will never be early as well. My timing is PERFECT so Trust in Me.”
