Way to Life

Me at the Prayer Mountain 
I felt guilty because before I read my Bible, I grabbed my phone to check e-mails and messages. Honestly, I will never do this again in the morning all I want is God’s word that came in first to my head. Since yesterday, I felt so worried with a lot of things, anxious about what is happening around.

But when I opened chapter 14 of John, Jesus said “Do not be worried & upset, believe in God & also believe in Me.” After speaking these words silently, I felt sudden comfort like he immediately pacified my wandering heart. Then after, a thought of assurance in my spirit says, “I will come back to take you with me where there will be no sorrow and pain, you and all things new.” Jesus even said the word prepare in verse 2; I became curious how does Jesus prepares room for us there? The disciples sensed both peace and power when Jesus stated verse 10, “I am the Way the Truth and & the Life, no one goes to the Father except by Me.”

This revelation hit me by heart with an impression: "you know the Way, you now have life, so rest assured there’s no road that can block you into ALL TRUTH."  It leads everything that brings life because Jesus is the manifestation of creation that knows no end. 

The moment we accepted Him, He opened a line exclusively for us so that we can go to him anytime and that we can hear him clearly so our relationship with him will be nurtured. Since He is the Way that leads in all truth, he guarantees that we will never be lost as we listen to his voice. Take hold of his promise that he prepares for us, he is with us, he hears us and that he will come back for us. The word of the Lord is as sure as the sun that rises every morning.

We always have to believe that he is all that we need in this life and even after that. Whatever is happening around, it will never affect the truth that is laid even before the foundation of his creation. Listen, as He whispers everyday: "My child, I am your Savior, I am the key to the Father’s house. Bank on the reality that my truth will follow you in every way because I AM who I say I AM."

Ready or Not?

Perhaps you're wanting to start a new ministry, perhaps you're wanting to apply to another job or perhaps you wanted to get serious with someone you really like. Whatever it may be, there are seasons that God may tell us we are not ready but then later on, He will let us know when we are ready. These are my common realizations in the waiting as I traced God's way of telling me or encouraging me to do something new or start stepping into the unfamiliar place. If you're one of my closest, you know that I'm the type of person who won't do something if I know I'm not ready, or I didn't prepare myself for it. That's why I think carefully before writing this piece, because we have different personalities, levels of spiritual discernment, and of course God can speak to us in various ways. These realizations I share are based on my own experience, discernment, and meditation of The Word in connection of some events in the past where I strongly sensed God tel...

Love Not Nails

Sea of Galilee O pinions on fake news is getting worse, misinformation in social media rapidly circulates.  People are excessively concern of themselves and malicious comments are trending online. I've sensed so much hate, I've heard a lot of demands. This brought me to pause and dropped my phone and shut it off. I'm done praying when I grabbed my Bible to read.  The Holy Spirit took me to 1 Corinthians 13:4-13 and it recites the verses of love. I can always read this passage again and again because the word love is so rich and true. Words can't express enough, totally powerful, ineffable. He illuminates verse 7, "Love never gives up, and its faith, hope and patience never fail." Love perfectly describes as eternal. Spurgeon once preached, "God is a sun that never sets." Indeed, the picture of the Cross is the best demonstration of love and truth, because it is love, not nails, what held Jesus on that cross and His love surpassed death because it doe...

One for the Books

  While zipping up my luggage in the morning of Saturday (Oct 7), prepping for my evening flight back to Manila, we're all waiting for breakfast, and before we jump in the bus for that  one last BBQ fellowship with all the International Christian Embassy Jerusalem (ICEJ) Feast volunteers, a sudden sound of wailing sirens and bombing from afar stopped us, then a loud cry requesting us to run to the nearest bomb shelter! All of us in the hotel felt perplexed and surprised thinking what’s really happening!  But what surely amazes me was despite of that announcement, I NEVER felt fear, what was on my mind was the safety of everybody, I powerfully sensed the comfort of the Holy Spirit as He gave me presence of mind and the will to worship with those who are with me no matter what's going on.  As everyone inside the bomb shelter started praying & singing, we could somehow hear the raging helicopters and rockets flying above us, then we learned that Israel was caught co...
