Enlarge Your Territory

As GOD's servant, each must desire to enlarge his territory.

What a blast I had at service today!

Proverbs 3:34
He mocks proud mockers
but gives grace to the humble.

No one is perfect. We can all strive for perfection but we still fail at some point. Christians also have their own share of sins. Wouldn't you agree?

It is better to be humble than to be proud.

GOD has amazingly brought me out of a struggle lately. The sermon today really convicted me and caught my heart. I just thank the LORD for giving me freedom from this bondage. Personal deliverance happen if you only believe and depend on GOD.

Just like David and Peter who have committed big sins, every Christian also have their share of sins and struggles. But you know the good news to this:

2 Corinthians 12:9
But HE said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me.

After David and Peter sinned, they did not go back to their sins. Instead, they enlarged their territory. They have done better than what they used to.

If you are sinning and desire to stop, ask for GOD's conviction and grace. Turn away from that sin and ENLARGE YOUR TERRITORY!

GOD'S VICTORY IS YOURS!!!

if the LORD wills...

James 4:15
Instead, you ought to say, "If it is the Lord's will, we will live and do this or that."

When I was little, I used to watch English movies and shows and read English books. All my crushes were American boys. Deep within me, I desired to have an American husband. Well, I have an American boyfriend now who is ever-so-committed to marry me. Funny though coz he asked me if I already move there in the USA, would I be "very friendly" with other American guys. I said no. This was confirmed by GOD through an encounter with an American guy 2 weeks ago. I'm glad that I am selflessly protected by GOD's fear. The fear of GOD that I will always love my Cody no matter what.

When I was little, I've always dreamed of having ice cream in the fridge. The kind of living I always see in those American movies I used to watch. We were very poor so I never had that kind of life. Now, my parents are selling ice cream so I get to eat any time I want - for FREE! hehehe!

These are past dreams that I know as a little girl I would never get but no one or nothing can ever hinder the PERFECT WILL OF GOD!

Testimonies:
1.) We have 6 additional youths last week, September 11, and it was amazing. Thank GOD for the leading of the topic. This week on our cell meeting again, there were 7 newbies. How amazing! We will be segregating the students from the teachers very soon. Should be a blast as GOD never stops working in that school.

2.) My mom bought me a very neat umbrella last year. It opens and closes with just one click - well two clicks hehehe! It was of color light blue - my favorite color. I left it in a building. After a few minutes, I went back for it and it was gone. I was so sad. She then bought me another one this year. Now it's of color light green. I left it in a restaurant. I'm forgetful especially when I'm having a great time talking. hahaha! I remembered when I came home. I cried. I value it a lot since it's my mom's gift for me and I promised myself to never forget it again. So I dreaded that day would come - it did. I prayed to GOD. GOD was nudging me that my umbrella will never be touched in the bin where the security guard asked me to put it coz it was wet. I sent a text message to my friend, Monicca. I am kind of far from the restaurant and she lives in that area. She sent me a text message after a while saying that she got my umbrella. I was so happy. When we met, she told me that my umbrella was untouched in that bin and all alone. Wow! GOD IS AMAZING!

3.) SEPTEMBER 9 - Jerevy, Monicca, Elisha and Cody sent me messages today and thanked me for the encouragements. I'm just so happy that GOD never fails to change these people and that GOD is being glorified.

4.) Gradually, GOD has been winning all my past friends and even their boyfriends. hehehe!

5.) Thank GOD for my upcoming silver year. Yay! Two of my youths were already asking me what I want as a gift. It's amazing how GOD touches the hearts of these young people. I don't even think of my birthday but they do. hahaha! I know I am going to have a blastful, glorious, victorious and blessed birthday because I'll be celebrating it with GOD and HIS wonderful people. So if the LORD wills...whatever the LORD wills, I am SO ready!

My blogger friends, I am deeply sorry that I haven't been able to read and comment on your blogs. I have been very busy with my work and ministry. I will try very soon. Please know that you are all in my mind, heart and prayers everyday. Really. I miss everyone.

Those Little Stones on the Floor

As Pastor Windsor Cabrera asked us to kneel on the floor for our Holy Communion, I was like, "Oh no! Those little stones on the floor!"

They hurt.

And I did it twice. hahaha! Imagine that.

But I just LOVE how GOD convicts my heart and takes me to the deepest part of my knees to humble my complaining mind. hahaha!

As I was kneeling, it was time for my reflections of the Last Supper. During our Holy Communions, I always imagine JESUS CHRIST, HIS Last Supper, HIS sufferings and the Cross.

GOD impressed in my heart that those little stones on the floor that poke my knees painfully are not even half of the sufferings that JESUS experienced before he was hung on the Cross.

"How dare I complain about those little stones on the floor?"

One of the Keys to Have an ABUNDANT LIFE

Galatians 6:7
Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.

This does not only talk about money or finances. It also talks about how you treat others, yourself and GOD.

If you plant sarcasm, you get sarcasm. If you plant negativity, you get negativity. If you plant anger, you get anger.

BUT...

If you plant goodness, GOD will give you goodness. It is more awesome to get goodness from GOD than men because GOD's goodness is overflowing. You might not be able to contain it.

I have encountered Christians who praise GOD verbally but speaks with sarcasm to other people. There's a hidden agenda right there. Sarcasm is one of the variations of anger (Spirit-Controlled Temperament by Tim LaHaye). I've read in one of Dennis Rainey's email devotionals to never say "PRAISE GOD" in vain. It is dangerous.

Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks. So please be clean vessels for the KING first before speaking to HIS children.

To Pastor Windsor Cabrera and Pastora Tess Cabrera, I've seen your different versions of the same sermon today (OVERFLOWING OF THE HEART) and it both gave me new insights. Thank you for your amazing love and service to our GREAT FATHER. So amazing! GOD IS AMAZING!

ALL THE GLORY BELONGS TO GOD ALONE!!! ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE WITH GOD!!! ALL ARE FROM GOD!!!

The Missing Piece


We go on with life thinking, "Why do I feel so empty?"

As a 3-year old convert from Catholic to Pentecostal Christian, I really never knew the real meaning of Christianity until CHRIST won me back last 2007. I was a backslider. But the seed of GOD's love was already planted in my heart when I was little then it grew as I ran away more. My parents showed so much love for us. In my journey, there was one point in my life wherein I felt empty - like there was a huge void that no human can fill.

I noticed the missing piece and I swirled around all my life trying to find it through the outside world. I disregarded my family. I thought I could find it in the arms of a boy. I failed to find that missing piece.

I was finally complete when the missing piece filled in my life.

The missing piece is GOD.


My dear friend, if you're feeling empty right now, examine yourself and your life. Humility has its own beautiful rewards. We are not always strong. JESUS CHRIST died for us and our sins for us to have an abundant life. A life that is complete.

John 10:10

GOD BLESS YOU ABUNDANTLY! MAY YOU FIND THE TRUTH, THE WAY AND THE LIFE!

NO FEARS!!!

Do you want to live a life without fears?

Okay, I'd appreciate if you answer that with a yes or no in the comments portion below this post.

Anyway...

I've been reading a very insightful book that I'd like to recommend to everyone. Christian or not. It will surely open your eyes to more insights in this stressful world we have right now. Why do I say stressful? Because we experience, read, see and hear a lot of negative things that urge us to feel so much stress.

In this book, I have learned more about the Temperaments I have since birth that I gained from the genes that run through my blood. Since I am a double introvert which is Melancholy Phlegmatic in a test given to me by my youth pastor which was confirmed by a test online. I have studied in this book about the positive and negative traits of each Temperament and the blends. Since I am a Melancholy Phlegmatic, I am a fear-prone organism which can lead to anger. Choleric and Sanguines are anger-prone which results to fear. To know more details about these things, you can buy and check out the book. It's a great material for those who would want to grow and change for GOD. It's great for spiritual leaders. The book is entitled "SPIRIT-CONTROLLED TEMPERAMENT" by Tim LaHaye.



I am amazed at how GOD has been exposing my fears but HE also gave me suggestions to overcome them and so amazing how Max Lucado has been focusing about fears with his new material entitled "FEARLESS" and if you want to know more about this and get email devotionals from him, please just visit his website www.maxlucado.com

Thank GOD for the amazing work HE is continuously doing in my life. Thank GOD for the timely articles and materials HE has been using to overcome my weaknesses and focus on my strengths as a Christian.

The only fear I'd like to invite in my life is the fear in GOD so I'd only long to please HIM all the beautiful days of my beautiful life with a beautiful GOD.

Know your fears and conquer them in GOD through JESUS CHRIST, our Savior and Victor!

May you find the TRUTH, the WAY and the LIFE!
