God’s Power In My Life

God keeps His promise, & He will not allow you to be tested beyond your power to remain firm, at the time you are put to the test, He will give you the strength to endure it, and so provide you with a way out.. (The Lord will fulfill His purpose for you! be still and know that He is always with you!) body {background: url(’http://img142.imageshack.us/img142/3696/wearybkgrndvx2.jpg’}

GOD IS SO AMAZING!

Filed under: Uncategorized — blessedladyfate at 4:01 am on Saturday, April 29, 2006

Praise the Lord! I was chatting with Jan Jan and with 12 of my friends on line from 10pm until 3 am and i can feel that God was in the midst of us while we were talking.. After i told them that i will get off line, all of a sudden my sister in Christ Remy messaged me and she told me that she’s watching the JESUS IS LORD ANNIVERSARY coveraged on the internet and she send the link.. So i start watching it..God is great! He made a way para mapanuod ko rin to at maishare sa inyong lahat..Thanks God for sister Remy! Oh God, You’re an Awesome God, there were lots of people there praising the Lord.. and when ate Neth got online, i told her to go to that link, and she went there, she said that she started to cry and she felt the presence of the Lord!(i just met her 3 days ago thru friendster and she told me that there was something in her heart that she felt when she opened MY PAGE). Glory to God, thats my prayer! na sinuman ang magopen nun ay maramdaman nila ang presencia ng Diyos, dahil buong puso kong iniaalay ang lahat ng yun sa Panginoon! Most of my friendster’s friends emailed me and told me that they felt something when they opened my page, im not being proud po kundi im just so happy dahil i can feel that God is moving in their lives..I am truly nothing without HIM.. Friends i want to tell you that, we really need God in our lives.. Walang kabuluhan ang buhay natin kung wala ang pagmamahal natin sa Kanya. Hindi Sya isang katulad ng tao na maaring magbago, na katulad ng isang kaibigan lang na pwede tayong iwan kapag tayo’y nagkamali, ang Diyos ay hindi ganun, Sya ay isang tapat na Panginoon! Hindi Sya nagbabago magpakailanman! Sya ang dahilan kung bakit tayo ay may buhay! Sya ang may hawak ng ating mga buhay! We need HIM friends.. YOU NEED HIM! Huwag mong aksayahin ang mga sandali na dapat ay itinutuon mo sa Kanya.. Huwag tayong paapekto sa mga bagay na nakapalibot sa atin.. Ang lahat ng nangyayari sa atin ay bahagi ng plano Nya sa buhay natin.. Ako, bilang kaibigan mo ay nagsusumamo syo na buksan mo ang puso mo, papasukin mo ang Panginoon. Ang buhay natin ay di natin hawak, subalit kung tatanggapin natin si HESUS para maging Hari ng ating mga buhay makakamtan natin ang buhay na walang hanggan! Hindi ang mga materyal na bagay lamang ang magpapasaya sa atin.. Hindi kayang ibigay ng mundong ito ang tunay na kaligayahan natin.. Lilisan tayo sa mundong ito na wala tayong dala dala.. Kaibigan ko, kung alam nyo lang mahal na mahal ko kayo, kung ano ang pagkakilala nyo sa akin ay kulang pa dun.. Nabubuhay ako para sa Panginoon lamang.. alam ng asawa ko kung paano ako umiiyak para sa mga kaibigan ko na napapahalagahan nila masyado ang mga material na bagay. Mga kaibigan, nagsusumamo ako sa inyo tanggapin nyo at papasukin nyo ang Panginoon sa buhay nyo. Hindi pa huli ang lahat para talikuran ang mga bagay na nakasanayan natin, walang kayang ibigay ng mundong ito sa atin.. ang Panginoon lamang ang kayang pumuno ng lahat lahat sa buhay natin. Maraming salamat sa patuloy na pagbasa nyo ng BLOG ko! Pagpalain kayong lahat ng Panginoon! Dlangin ko na maging masaya rin kayong tulad ko at matagpuan ninyo ang Panginoon at maging Hari Sya ng inyong mga buhay..

HERES THE LINK FOR THE JIL ANNIVERSARY; http://www.eradioportal.com/, just click this link and go to RECENT EVENTS, then you will see JESUS IS LORD..Hope you’ll be bless and may God’s presence be upon you while you’re watching it.. It was taken in the Philippines, Luneta. God bless you all!

verse for the day;

What a happiness for those whose guilt has been forgiven! What joys when sins are covered over! What relief for those who have confessed their sins and God has cleared their record. PSALM 32:1b

Sister in Christ,

Righteous indignation is not anger and not emotion. It is a clear understanding of a bad situation because you have divine viewpoint.

Greetings in the name of the Lord friends! Last April 19, i was so upset and made a blog for that.. I did not update my blog for the past few days because i cannot concentrate. I was asking the Lord to cleanse me and put back the joy that Satan was trying to steal from me..My other friends were asking what’s happening with me.. Kilala nyo ako, masayahin.. I thought that after what she did before she will stop, but she did not..huhuhuhu..Some of my friends knew the reason why i was so upset.. I called my Inay also to tell her about it and also with my Precious Annie.. My husband and my inlaws told me not to think about that girl because she doesnt know me.. And thanks for all my friends that really know who is the real MELODY.. I never met a person like her in my whole life.. Oh she really broke my heart, di nya kilala ang Diyos na sinasaktan nya, nasaktan ako dahil ang Lord na ang sinasaktan nya mahal na mahal ko ang Panginoon at ayokong may tao na may sasakit sa Kanya, ok lang na ako ang saktan nya huwag lang nya idamay ang Pangalan ng Diyos.. Im making this blog once again for the person who did it. (ATE, I hope you will read this, i hope na makilala mo ako ng lubusan at nawa mabasa mo lahat ng mga sinusulat ko para mas makilala mo ang Panginoon..i want you to know that you hurt me so bad but praise the Lord, i realized na nagawa mo yun dahil nakikita mo ang kabutihan ng Diyos sa buhay ko..Nagkakamali ka po kung inaakala mong galit ako syo, dahil yung galit na yun ay pinalitan ng Panginoon ng pagkaawa.. Naawa ako syo dahil masyadong matigas ang puso mo para sa Panginoon..Dalangin ko na nawa ay buksan ng Panginoon ang puso mo….)

Everybody gets angry. We know that we all have sin natures that have areas of strength and weakness. You may be strong where I am weak, and vice-versa. So it may be that you would never think of committing a particular sin that I might be having a great deal of trouble with. But, in one way or another everyone has problems with anger. Sometimes the anger is a quiet, see thing resentment or indignation at some large or small offense, real or imagined. The Bible describes anger as a sin - a sin of mental attitude. As a sin, anger expresses antagonism, exasperation, indignation, resentment, outrage. Anger usually produces an emotional feeling, but the feeling is not the anger. The thought pattern which produced the feeling is the sinful anger. Impersonal love is a result of Christian growth and allows believers to have a regard for even the most obnoxious people that does not depend on their character or behavior. But you know what Ate through you, marami akong nalaman at natutunan..It is righteous indignation that allows God to be "angry" about sin but to love us anyway. His love for us depends on His character, not on ours.
Characteristics of Sinful Anger

* Anger is sin from the sin nature. Gal. 5:19-21, "Now the deeds of the flesh [sin nature] are evident, which are: immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, disputes, dissensions, factions, envying, drunkenness, carousing, and things like these…"

* Anger is related to foolishness. Eccl. 7:9, "Do not be quick to be angry in your heart, for anger resides in the bosom of fools."

The Bible defines a fool as a person without wisdom. He may be a genius, but his thinking is from human viewpoint. He thinks and acts apart from God’s standards and controls. The paramount fool (and the beginning of foolishness) is the person who has "said in his heart, There is no God."

Look at Romans 1:18-31 for a detailed description of the results of deliberately turning away from God. A fool is on a rapid downward slide towards destruction, both in this life and the one to come. In the list of terrible sins which characterize the ungodly are several which are either causes or results of anger.

*Anger is associated with grieving the Holy Spirit. Eph. 4:30-31, "And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. And be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving each other, just as God in Christ also has forgiven you." Notice the contrast here between conditions of anger and the results of impersonal love.

*Anger is a violation of the Christian’s code of conduct as a member of the Body of Christ. Col. 3:8,9, "But now you also, put them all aside: anger, wrath, malice, slander, {and} abusive speech from your mouth. Do not lie to one another, since you laid aside the old self with its {evil} practices"

* Anger hinders effective prayer. 1 Tim. 2:8, "Therefore I want the men in every place to pray, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and dissension."

*Anger is always accompanied by other sins. Prov. 29:22, "An angry person stirs up strife, and a hot tempered person abounds in transgression."

Anger promotes the sins of gossip, self-righteous judging, maligning, revenge, complaining, bitterness, and many others. Heb. 12:15, "See to it that no one comes short of the grace of God; that no root of bitterness springing up causes trouble, and by it many be defiled."

* Anger makes a person his own worst enemy; he brings misery upon himself. Prov. 22:8, "He who sows iniquity will reap vanity, And the rod of his fury will perish." The uphappiness comes from many sources: failure to be occupied with Christ, failure to maintain a relaxed mental attitude, failure to be controlled by the Holy Spirit, thus, failure to grow in Christ. Lack of growth means lack of joy, lack of love, lack of divine viewpoint.

*Anger promotes jealousy and cruelty. Prov. 27:4.

*Anger causes misery for loved ones, friends, and community. Anger destroys a nation. Prov. 21:19; 22:24; 24:25; 29:22. Amos 1:11, "Thus says the Lord, "For three transgressions of Edom and for four I will not revoke its {punishment}, Because he pursued his brother with the sword, While he stifled his compassion; His anger also tore continually, And he maintained his fury forever."

Here’s what i did ate para tuluyang mawala ang galit ko syo;

I recognized the sin of anger and confess to the Lord when I become angry. "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." I John 1:9. This way you will maintain your walk with the Lord and be controlled (filled) by the Holy Spirit.

God told me to:

Continue to "grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ." Forgiveness is an important part of grace being used by a believer. The more you are oriented to God’s plan of Grace, the more adept you will be at using the assets He provides. Practice trusting ME, Anak…and the Lord says, "Cast your care on Me, because I care for you." When you are in bad situations, tell the Lord about it and let Him handle it.

Oh God, I thank You for this person in my life who seem to bring more pain than joy, for I believe You have let our paths cross for important reasons. Thank You for the good things You want to do in my life through the things that bother me( her irritating habits, her unloving ways, her unrealistic expectations). I’m grateful that You are with me, to meet my needs when others -fail to do so. Im glad that You are also within me, working to make me more like Jesus-more patient, more gentle, more loving- through the very things I dislike. Thank You too that You love this person, and that Your love is adequate to meet her deep needs, and transform her life, however willfull or unwise she may sometimes be. Thank You that You care for her deeply, and for the potential of being a vast reservoir from which You could receive eternal pleasure. And so, though I may not feel grateful, I give thanks for her by faith, trusting Your goodness. Your wisdom, Your power, and Your love for her as well as for me. And I praise You that I need not fret about her, or be envious, or mull over angry thoughts to prove Im right. Thank You that by Your power I can receive her as You receive me…just as I am, warts and wrinkles and hangups and all…that I can choose not to judge her, but to forgive her.. to cancel any debts I feel she owe me-any apologies, any obligations…that through Your grace, I can choose to wipe clean any slate of grievances I have within me, and to view her with a heart that says, "YOU NO LONGER OWE ME A THING, ATE". Thank You for Your Spirit who empowers me, so that I can do her good, delight in You, and commit my way to You, resting in You and You unfold Your good purpose in these relationships-in YOUR time Oh God! I know that You heard the cry of my heart Lord for this person, may she give her life unto You too and she will be a person with a heart that is ready to understand the true meaning of YOU Oh God! I love her Oh God, and I know Lord You will work in her life in Your special way.. I trust in Your name oh God.. In Jesus name I pray.. Amen..

in Your Hands,

Dear Lord, cultivate the furrows of the soil of my heart, mind and spirit.. Envelop the seed of Your Word with the elements needed to bring forth spiritual fruit.. Use my life Lord to reach out to my friend’s lives…..& 2 all who will open this BLOG!

Filed under: Uncategorized — blessedladyfate at 5:27 pm on Tuesday, April 25, 2006

Greetings in the name of the Lord! I want to say thank you all for visiting my blog.. All that is written here came from my heart and I want to keep it updated and I want to thank you all my friends for sending me your prayer requests and for trusting me and for telling me your problems. I dont have to mention your names because i know that you know who i’m talking about.. Friends, if you are hurting I am too. If you’re happy I am too. And you are all special to me. Even i have my own family, I want you all to know that you are all part of MELODY’S life.. Im not living for myself alone…There is a burden on my heart.  A burden for all my friends that are lost and do not know Jesus as their personal Savior.  There are those that I love and care for that need Jesus in their lives so much.  And as much as I want them to believe and follow Him, I know that ultimately it is their decision how they choose to live their lives.  They will always be in my heart and prayers, however.  I pray the Lord will continue to reach out to them and place others before them that He can use as a witness. 

This BLOG of mine is to remind those who are already in Christ of how much Jesus gave for us.  It is also for those who have not yet made that committment… it is to give them something to think about.  May there never be one who can say, "I never knew because no one ever told me."

I pray the Lord to use ME, and to use this Blog of mine as He sees fit and that His name will be glorified because of it.

Friends, may the Lord bless you exceedingly above all that you can even think to hope for. You know, sometimes, when everything around you seems to be going so crazy, you find yourself grasping for anything around that might offer the smallest bit of hope to you.  It is so easy to forget that no matter what everyone or everything around you seems to be saying, we are never without hope as long as we know Jesus as our Lord and Savior.  All things are allowed to happen for whatever reason and we don’t have to know why.. we just have to know who is always in control and that He will work all things according to His good and perfect plan for our lives if we will let Him.

Love Him enough to trust Him.

This BLOG is dedicated to some very close friends of mine that are themselves going through some very hard trials right now. Thank ya’ll friends for telling me all the pain in your hearts and thank you so much for trusting me.  I know the unspoken fears and feelings of helplessness that sometimes come to mind even though you are trying to trust God with every fiber of your being.  He will not forsake you, He will not let you down, He will see you through this and you will see the work of His hand one day when you look back on all of this.  You are in my heart and prayers.

Father, it is such a comfort to know that no matter what time of the day or night we have a need, You will be there to hear us when we cry out to You.  Lord, there will be those who already know You that will visit this BLOG of mine who are hurting and are in need of a touch from Your mighty hand.  Whether it is spiritual, physical, mental or emotional, I pray that You will meet that need, Father.  There will also be those who come to Blog of mine that do not know You as their Personal Savior… that is the greatest need of all, Lord, that anyone can have.  I pray that they will listen to Your Spirit as He calls to them and that they will embrace the work that Jesus did on the cross for them and receive Him into their heart as Lord and Savior.  Lord, guide each of us into a closer walk with You and increase our measure of faith.  I must decrease Lord so that You can increase. Father, there is none like You.  You have lavished Your love on us in so many ways that it is impossible to even begin to name them all.  You offer Your comfort and protection so many times and I know that we are guarded and kept safe many times when we do not even realize that we have been in harm’s way.  Your mercy and compassion on mankind has been poured out time and time again and yet so many times we seem so thankless and take for granted all that comes from Your hands.  Lord, help us to realize just how much You are there for us and how much You have done for us.  Don’t let us walk in blindness to all the wonderful ways that You have blessed us already.  Help us to be truly thankful for Your mercy and Your grace.  Lord, teach us to worship You as You desire to worshipped; to lift Your Holy name above all names and give You the glory, honor and praise that You are so worthy of.  Lord, we can never repay You for all You have done, for Your gift of salvation, for loving us as You do… but we can glorify Your name.  We can give You praise, Lord.  We can say Hallelujah to God Our Father.. a thousand praises to the Lord Most High.. and this we do, Lord.   Be with each person that visits this site, Father.  You know the need in each of their lives and I ask that You be with them in a special way and minister to them as only You can do.  I ask that You work through these pages/ MY FRIENDSTER’S PAGE AND MY BLOG’S PAGE as You see fit and and have them reach those they were intended to reach.   In Jesus’ most Precious Name I pray.. amen and amen.   

in His Hands,

sis melody

   

The immediate result of walking by the Spirit of the Living God is not discovering which job to take, which person to marry, or which car to buy, or what kind of house to build or what material thing to have!

Mga kaibigan, last saturday, when we went to town to shop, i saw a very cute baby.. i think she’s two years old.. she’s like a living doll.. ive never seen a cute baby like her before.. i had a camera with me and i told her dad if i can take a picture of her, and he allowed me, but then her mom came and she grabbed her.. i was so upset and i cried, i talked to the Lord while we were inside the car and nasabi ko sa KANYA NA "LORD, BAKIT? DAHIL PO BA NUNG MAY KASAMA PA AKONG LESBIAN, NASABI KO NA AYW KONG MAGKABABY AT MABUBUHAY AKO NA GUSTO KO SA AKIN LANG ANG ATENSYON NG LAHAT?" Bumalik sa ala ala ko ang lahat, ang lahat ng mga kasalanan ko.. durog na durog ang puso ko habang pingmamasdan kong papalayo ang kotse ng pamlilya ng batang yun.. ang sakit sakit ng puso ko sa nangyari…. Yesterday, inside the church, from the start of the service, i felt His presence..telling me that, kinalimutan na Nya lahat ng mga kasalanan ko, na walang kaugnayan ang mga nararamdaman ko ngayon sa nakaraan ko.. and when we sang this song

I once was fatherless,
a stranger with no hope;
Your kindness wakened me,
Awakened me, from my sleep.

Your love it beckons deeply,
a call to come and die.
By grace now I will come
And take this life, take your life.

Sin has lost it’s power,
death has lost it’s sting.
From the grave you’ve risen
VICTORIOUSLY!

Into marvelous light I’m running,
Out of darkness, out of shame.
By the cross you are the truth,
You are the life, you are the way

My dead heart now is beating,
My deepest stains now clean.
Your breath fills up my lungs.
Now I’m free. now I’m free!

Lift my hands and spin around,
See the light that i have found.
Oh the marvelous light
Marvelous light

Lift my hands and spin
See the light within…

damang dama ko kung gaano ako niyakap ng aking DADDY, ng Panginoon! maraming salamat sa Kanya dahil patuloy Nyang ipinapakilala sa akin ang Kanyang pagiging DIYOS na Makapangyarihan.. I haved sinned against Him dahil palagi ko Sya tinatanong kung bakit di Nya ako pagkalooban ng anak.. But praise the Lord, my sisters and brothers in Christ at the church prayed for me and the Pastor did annoint me also. My husband was there for me to hug and comfort me, he bought a flower for me and my in laws hugged me and prayed for me also.. And most of all, MY DADDY comforted me and told me that being not pregnant is not the thing that should make me feel that way, instead God wants me to be more closer to Him and may my life be pleasing unto Him.. That He will always fill the void in my life.. Praise God! HALLELUJAH!

JENNY DEAR, sorry di ko nagawa yung 30 q.. as what ive told u dear, i thought i saved it as a draft but when i looked back it wasnt there.. anyway, ive been so lonely for the past 2 days but praise God He’s an awesome God and He’s always there for me..

JINKY dear friend, thanks for always reading my blog and thank u for accepting God in ur life dear. I knew ur past and praise God that He changed u too! i know that God is working in ur life too.. keep seeking God dearest! this world can offer nothing in our lives, but God is EVERYTHING!

Shabem, Annie, Liza, Jan-jan and sa lahat po ng mga bumabasa sa blog ko, maraming salamat po sa time nyo!

Sa mga kaibigan ko na Mommy, Daddy na at magiging mommy at daddy pa, Praise the Lord at binigyan Nya kayo ng pagkakataong magdala ng isang panibagong buhay na regalo, may tibok ang puso at napakasarap ng maging isang ina.. Manatili nyong ipanalangin at ipagkatiwala ang buhay ng mga anak nyo sa tunay na may ari nito, ang ating Panginoon!

Sa lahat ng kaibigan ko na bumabasa na di makapaglagay ng comments, salamat sa email nyo sa akin at sa mga papuri na pinapadala nyo..

God loans the Earth to us while were here..and if we treat everything as a trust, God promises three rewards in eternity: AFFIRMATION, PROMOTION AND CELEBRATION…

Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with few things; I will put you in charge of many things.. Come and share your master’s happiness.. MATTHEW 25:21

Thanks to all! God bless you all my dear friends! Keep seeking God!

CONVINCED BY two of my Bloggers Friends: JENNY AND SHABEM! (hehehe)

Filed under: Uncategorized — blessedladyfate at 5:22 pm on Thursday, April 20, 2006

            HAHAHA.. TAG WITH THE SAME NUMBER OF PEOPLE IN YOUR HOUSEHOLD? TWO LANG KAMI HEHEHE.. SA FRIENDS KO PA NMN WALA MAHILIG GUMAWA NG BLOG, taga basa lang sila ng mga posted blogs ko…PAANO TO? Jan-jan, and Analyn pls continue the tag..hehehe (WELL, IM CONVINCED WITH MY FRIENDS SHABEM AND JENNY SO I WILL DO IT) SO YA’LL WILL KNOW MORE INFO ABOUT THE STORY………………………..

  1. Of your name -  I am the youngest child out of six siblings.. (they call me adopted sister because my color is different from them, they’re all white.)  My mother’s best friend gave me my name.  She chose one that started with M because all my sisters names also start with M.
  2. Of your parents -  Their parents arranged their marriage. (pinagkasunduan nila, but my father really loved my Inay). They were only 16 at the time of their marriage and my mother hid at the farm on the night of their wedding.  It took 2 months before my mother finally slept beside my father. Isn’t it funny, hehehe? And my mother learned to love my father so much after 1 year of their marriage!
  3. Of your last bday - My parents-in-law and my sweetheart gave me a wonderful party at my favorite restaurant with my friends and we also celebrated our 1 year wedding anniversary because we got married on my birthday.
  4. Of your first love -  Huhuhu.. He was a transfer student from Zambales because Mt. Pinatubo errupted at that time. I was inlove with him but when i told my mother that i am inlove she asked who was he.. and when i said his name, i found that he’s my cousin.. so i had to stop loving him.. huhuhu..(dami ko nailuha dun)
  5. Of your room -  huh! the place where i can use my LP while lying down with mosquito net on my feet..(see pictures at my friendster’s photos) hehehe
  6. Of last Christmas -  We had a wonderful family reunion with my sweetheart’s family(every Christmas may family reunion kami & its my second year Christmas here).  I met lots of Rance’s cousins. I cooked my favorite Filipino dishes and they enjoyed it also.  They said it was incredible.  wow, Glory to God!
  7. Of last V-day -  Wow! I love this occasion.  We went to a 4 hours Christian concert, the performers were Chris Tomlin and Matt Redman and the presence of the Lord was really awesome.  There were thousands of people there. (Its really nice to be in the presence of the Lord, singing praises!) and my husband gave me a big bear for my gift and i named it after INAY. (miss ko nanay ko kaya yun na lang daw akapin ko hehehe)
  8. Of your current clothes -  honestly, mom in law ko palagi bumibili ng damit ko since i came here in the US and i dont like shopping, sakit sa paa eh, so when she gets home, she’ll call me saying, i have another surprise for u sweetie! she treats me like her own baby hehehe..
  9. Of the 1st time u saw ur crush -  I giggled, almost fell down, and my palms were so sweaty. tsoink!

Be angry, and do not sin! Ephesians 4:26 How can we do that?

Filed under: Uncategorized — blessedladyfate at 9:03 am on Wednesday, April 19, 2006

Greetings in Christ dear! Are you angry with somebody?  I will be honest with ya’ll, i am or i think i should say i was upset with somebody!(wahhhhh, bakit ka ganyan ATE, di mo ako naunawaan)…I was so upset with her..huhuhu! In fact, my sweetheart was laughing at me coz he can see and he can tell that i was really upset with that somebody..and what he did, he just danced in front of me to make me smile hehehe.. he told me that he’ve never seen me like this before, so i prayed and asked the Lord to forgive me and now i realized that anger, like the other emotions that God has given, is both useful and natural when it is consistent with God’s Word.

When openly expressing our anger, our words to others who may have wronged us must be words that edify and help them; not words that belittle or condemn.

Our conversation should be directed towards solving the problem God’s way, not tearing the person down. With this goal, we should be able to release our anger appropriately and keep it under control. When anger explodes into rage or stews in resentment and bitterness, it becomes a sin—especially when expressed hurtfully toward others. I asked the Lord to please forgive me and teach me on how to deal with my anger and He revealed me His words;

"Therefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath; for the wrath of man does not produce the righteous-ness of God"

(James 1:19-20).

"Cease from anger, and forsake wrath; do not fret—it only causes harm"

(Psalm 37:8).

"Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice"

(Ephesians 4:31).

"But now you must also put off all these: anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy language out of your mouth"

(Colossians 3:8).

"An angry man stirs up strife, and a furious man abounds in transgression"

(Proverbs 29:22).

"Do not hasten in your spirit to be angry, for anger rests in the bosom of fools"

(Ecclesiastes 7:9).

AND NOW I KNOW HOW TO DEAL WITH MY ANGER: Thank You Lord!

Two of the ways in which people attempt to cope with their anger are through violent actions or by suppressing true feelings. By clamming up and pretending that nothing is wrong is not God’s method of dealing with the problem. The person who holds in his/her anger, letting it slowly build up, sins just as much as the individual who may react violently.

Healthy anger when kept in control can fire us up to fight for truth and the correction of injustices. To process angry feelings, you need to bring them into the open where you can deal with them. But in my situation, I can’t do this because she’s in Canada! but the following guidelines will assist you in controlling anger:

*Assume responsibility for your own anger regardless of another person’s actions which may have triggered your response (Ephesians 4:26).

*Reduce angry feelings by finding a safe, physical way of venting them in a constructive manner. It is difficult to be rational or objective when you are emotionally upset. Go for a walk, jog, pull weeds, chop wood, or anything that will relieve the physical stress of anger.

*Honestly and openly express your anger without accusing or manipulating (Matthew 18:15).

*Confess any sinful anger. If we confess our sins, He is faithful to forgive (1 John 1:9). Receive God’s release: "If we ask anything according to His will, He hears us" (1 John 5:14).

*Allow God to fill you with His Holy Spirit, penetrating your thoughts and emotions with His truth until you are thinking, talking and behaving in accordance with His ways. Your Heavenly Father will give the Holy Spirit to those who ask (Luke 11:13).

Lord, please forgive me that i have sinned against her and i have sinned against You. Please give me Your love for her and for me, Lord. Thank You Lord for the victory over my anger! Im not angry with her anymore Lord, im giving You all the Glory, Honor and Adoration in Jesus Name I pray. Amen.

I suggest you to read these verses:

Proverbs 14:17 He who is quick-tempered acts foolishly
Proverbs 14:29 He who is impulsive exalts folly
Proverbs 15:18 A wrathful man stirs up strife
Proverbs 19:19 A man of great wrath will suffer punishment
Proverbs 22:24 Make no friendship with an angry man

in Christ,

Brooding over the past paralyzes the present and bankrupts the future! Dont worry too much for God is in Control~!

Filed under: Uncategorized — blessedladyfate at 1:20 am on Saturday, April 15, 2006

Greetings in the name of the Lord friend! How are ya’ll? I had a great day today with my sweet loving parents in law and with  my super funny husband.. We went camping in Gulf of Mexico and i was a little bit upset because I wasnt able to take pictures..hu hu hu.. I thought it was already in my bag, but when i was trying to look for it right after we got there, it wasnt there..and i was kind of wahhhhhhh, worried! Coz i really dont know where did i put it..  But my sweetheart told me, opppsss sweetheart dont be upset ok?..its just camera! were still here with you..Oh it striked my heart.. (coz I worried too much).. so i had no pictures today but its ok, i still enjoyed it a lot! so after we got home, i took a rest for 2 hours and i woke up at 1 am. I called my INAY again and told her everything what happened with us.. and she told me how she wish that she’s with us also.. she’s worried that it might not happen, she’s getting old and i have to wait for my citizenship before i can petition her and i know it will take few years before it happens.And there’s the word WORRY again!

We as humans love to worry. We as Christians shouldn’t, but we often do. We worry about our future when we can see how God has worked in our past. We worry about tomorrow while we witness how God has aligned today. We worry about having enough when we’ve never done without. We worry.

This isn’t something new among Christian circles. Even the disciples, who witnessed miracle after miracle, worried. In Mark 8:14-21 we run into one of these situations. Jesus and His disciples were in a boat by themselves. Suddenly someone realized that ‘hey, there’s thirteen of us and we’ve only got one load of bread.’ They worried. Jesus, picking up on their worry questioned them about it. He couldn’t understand what the cause for concern was. On two separate occasions, the disciples had witnessed Jesus feed thousands of people from just a few loaves of bread and a couple fish. He even supplied so much that both times there was baskets left over! Yet the disciples were worried about having only one loaf of bread with Jesus in their presence.

Aren’t we like that? Although I often read this section of scripture and wonder how the disciples could be worried about what to eat when they witnessed Jesus feed thousands with nothing, I’ve come to realize I do it all the time.

I can see how God has provided the money for my family in the Philippines. I can see how everything in my past, no matter how tragic, has worked for good! I can see how God so many times has provided for our family and how we’ve never done without, yet when i talk with my Inay I still worry. I worry.

Maybe today you’re hearing this and can relate. Isn’t it so easy to take our eyes off what God has done and worry about what we haven’t given Him a chance to do? Isn’t it easy to get so caught up in ourselves that we lose sight of the big picture?

Point blank: worry is wrong. Not only does it deprive us of peace for today, but it’s insulting to God because by worrying we ignore everything God has done and doubt what He can do. God doesn’t want us to be caught up in worry, but rather to surrender in trust. God can take care of any problem and our worrying isn’t going to help Him do it. God hasn’t abandoned us as soon as we surrender at the cross. That’s just the beginning of God supplying for us.

So today, let’s make a commitment to stop worrying and start thanking. Every time worry creeps in, if we take some time remembering and thanking God for what He has done, we’ll find that worry will decrease as thankfulness increases.

"What does your anxiety do? It does not empty tomorrow of its sorrow, but it does empty today of its strength. It does not make you escape the evil; it makes you unfit to cope with it when it comes. God gives us the power to bear all the sorrow of His making, but He does not guarantee to give us strength to bear the burdens of our own making such as worry induces."

Jesus also tells us not to worry:

"For this reason I say to you, do not be anxious for your life, as to what you shall eat, or what you shall drink; nor for your body, as to what you shall put on. Is not life more than food, and the body than clothing? Look at the birds of the air, that they do not sow, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not worth much more than they? And which of you by being anxious can add a single cubit to his life’s span? And why are you anxious about clothing? Observe how the lilies of the field grow; they do not toil nor do they spin, yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory did not clothe himself like one of these. But if God so arrays the grass of the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, will He not much more do so for you, O men of little faith? Do not be anxious then, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘With what shall we clothe ourselves?’ For all these things the Gentiles eagerly seek; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added to you. Therefore do not be anxious for tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own" (Matthew 6:25-34).

So dear friend, stop worrying about things around you, just put your trust in Him.. this words of encouragement is not only for you my friends, its also for me, i worry sometimes about having no baby yet but we have to wait and keep on praying, and trusting the Lord.. God bless you dear!

LORD, grant us strength to overcome life’s greatest trials that we may meet, and please Lord grant it also when we face those little trials that would defeat..

Greetings in the name of the Lord friend, His name must be exalted in all the Earth for His love endures forever!How many of us hear these words and long to do just that—live life fully? Can u imagine the obstacles of a person would have to overcome to climb in a mountain, dark and high? My friend Aldrin called me last night and he told me about it, he had accomplished this feat and i asked him how was it.. i asked him why did he do that? And he answered me "GUSTO KO LANG, KASI SUMMER NA, BAKASYON WALA AKO MAGAWA, hiking di ba masarap yun?!" and he told me that the toughest part of his trip wasn’t walking up the mountains or crossing hot, dry, barren dark high mountain..He said in fact, it was exciting.."The thing that came the closest to defeating me", he admitted "was the sand in my shoes." and i said ha….BUHANGIN, WHY? so after we talked I analyzed it and reminds me of how we can be spiritually defeated by what begins as a little irritant. We let an unkind word, a small setback, or misundersatnding get us down.. Or we allow people around us to influence us in a little but wrong ways.. Instead of being determined to avoid evil- big or small- (Proverbs 4:14-27), we compromise..We neglect to go to the Lord forgiveness and help…
Few of us, if any, seek a "BAHALA NA" existence. Instead, we long to experience life in a grand way. We want to grow emotionally and mentally. We seek new ways to expand our vision and enjoy life at every turn.
My dear, God wants us to grow and be all that we can be. He created us for excellence. From His perspective there are no failures, just possibilities. No matter how many wrong turns we take, God knows how to redirect our lives and place us back on the right track. He is the God who extends opportunity after opportunity to us. In other words, He is the God of the second, third, fourth, and infinite chances.

God’s Love Brings Fulfillment
He is never disappointed with us because He is omniscient. He knows all about us. He knows what we have done in the past and what we will do in the future. The wondrous thing about God’s love is that it never stops. He loves us the same today as He did yesterday, and His love for us will not change tomorrow. When we feel as though we have failed in life, God comes to us and raises up a standard—a banner of hope in our behalf. (Isaiah 59:19)
With this truth in mind, why do so many people end up living a less-than-productive life? The answer lies in our ability to accept and apply a crucial truth to our hearts: It is God’s unconditional love that changes us and brings lasting fulfillment. Once we understand and accept that there is no greater love than the love of God, then we will be ready to take the first step toward living life to the fullest.
What are the goals you would love to achieve? What dream has God placed within your heart that you long to see become a reality? There is a way to live each day fulfilled—satisfied and blessed.
For many people, the words "living life to the fullest" immediately bring thoughts of achievement either of financial security or success in their jobs. Their quest for fulfillment has more to do with achieving than living the life God has given them to live. If the goals we strive to reach are not accomplished according to God’s plan, we will sense the emptiness of our vanity.

The Search for Fulfillment
Fulfillment in a material sense does not guarantee that the inner hunger that resides deep within our souls will be satisfied. This is because true fulfillment does not come as a result of owning a large home, driving a new car, or having money in the bank. True fulfillment comes as a result of a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
Some of the richest people in the world also are the loneliest. They use their money to travel and buy all that their hearts desire, but the search for true happiness continues. Many of them mistakenly believe that true fulfillment is a financial merger away. What they really need is a heart and soul merger with Jesus Christ.
Solomon wrote, "I enlarged my works: I built houses for myself, I planted vineyards for myself; I made gardens and parks for myself and I planted in them all kinds of fruit trees; . . . I collected for myself silver and gold and the treasure of kings and provinces . . .
"Then I became great and increased more than all who preceded me in Jerusalem . . . All that my eyes desired I did not refuse them. I did not withhold my heart from any pleasure for my heart was pleased because of all my labor and this was my reward . . . Thus I considered all my activities which my hands had done and the labor which I had exerted, and behold all was vanity and striving after wind and there was no profit under the sun" ( Ecclesiastes 2:4-11).
In Deuteronomy, God gives us a spiritual principle to use as a compass for our lives. Are our hearts pointed toward God? Or are they focused on selfish desires? "You shall do what is right and good in the sight of the Lord, that it may be well with you and that you may go in and possess the good land which the Lord swore to give . . ." (6:18).
"He will love you and bless you and multiply you," writes Moses. This is the result of obedience. Though this principle was given to Israel, it also is a command for us to heed. When we declare our love for the Lord and submit our lives to Him, He will bless, guide, and bring a sense of sincere fulfillment to our hearts.

The Steps to Fulfillment
Friend, fulfillment is the result of the presence of God living within you through the power of the Holy Spirit. All that you do in life should reflect His goodness and mercy. How do you reach a point of true fulfillment? Fulfillment comes when you—
realize that fulfillment is not a matter of position or authority. It is a matter of loving God and allowing Him to love you. All you need to feel fulfilled is Jesus Christ living within you. Actually, as a Christian, you have both authority and position. You are God’s beloved child—an heir to His throne. There is no higher calling than this, and there is no greater position than the place you hold in His family.
What do you do if life has lost its sense of excitement or you no longer have a sense of hopeful anticipation for tomorrow? You need to realize that you do not have to settle for less. You can be fulfilled right now.
Enter into a life of fullness by accepting Christ as your Savior. There is no way to experience true fulfillment apart from Jesus Christ. Many have tried but they are left feeling empty and alone. Before His death, Jesus assured His disciples that He would never leave them. (John 14:18) He didn’t.
Three days after the Crucifixion, He arose from the grave. Today He lives within those who pray this simple prayer: "Lord Jesus, I confess that I need You. I have sinned and my life feels empty and without hope. I know You are the hope of all men and women. I pray that You will forgive my sin and give me a fresh opportunity to live my life for You. I long to live life to the fullest, and I realize that this begins as I submit my life to You. I ask You to save me and give me a new life."   
Dear, exchange your life and desires for the life of Christ and the desires that He has for you. Your life was designed for God.
Even before we knew Him personally, He knew us intimately. His plans for us are ones of hope and future. ( Jeremiah 29:11) When we offer ourselves to God, we exchange our thoughts, feelings, emotions, and desires for new ones. Faith is the only way we can do this. By faith we believe that God is who He says He is and that He will do exactly what He has promised us. We can reach our goals, overcome our failures, and enjoy success, but for a different reason. Instead of boasting about what we have achieved, we can enjoy what God has given abundantly. Our lives become reflections of His life and love rather than a check sheet of human achievements.
Friend will u submit yourself to God? Fulfillment comes when you decide to love God and give Him all of yourself. This does not mean that you give up or stop doing what you have been trained to do. Instead, you come to a point where you ask God to use you to the fullest so that others will come to know Him and experience His love and unconditional forgiveness.
He has given each one of us a spiritual gift to be used for His glory and work. Just as we have talents, we have gifts, and God wants us to discover the ones He has given us. When we pray and ask God to reveal His desire for us in this area, He will do it. (Read 1 Corinthians 12.)   
It is impossible to live life to the fullest until you have surrendered your life to Christ. Those who have never discovered the wondrous joy that comes from living and serving God are the ones who have yet to experience His eternal fulfillment.

He has a great desire for you—a life that is exceptional because He is, in every way, glorious and willing to teach you how to live above your circumstances and to your full potential when you trust and seek only Him.
And whoever u are dear, i want you to know that my heart desire is that to share the goodness of the Lord..for He is my everything and please let Him come in your heart also..

in Christ po,

sis melody

Hi friends, GREETINGS IN CHRIST!
Wow, 4am again, my favorite time for my meditation.. time to read my bible and pray again before doing anything else, i want to talk with my Daddy..our God! God is trully amazing, His love is new every morning! once again i had a very nice conversation with Him!
When I was working on this page, many things that are normally simple became difficult.  No doubt that satan hates it when the Lord leads us to do anything that might cause people to examine their hearts and make the decision to seek salvation through Jesus Christ.  But I felt that I could not put up the God Bless page until this page was completed, so with the Lord’s help I continued to work on this and not give up.  God has placed a burden on my heart to reach out to others in His name and offer encouragement and hope.   Someone out there is scared and afraid.. someone out there is lost and hurting.. someone out there feels alone and unloved.. someone out there is being deceived by false belief about God… someone out there is tired and weary.. someone out there wants to give up .. someone out there needs to read this.. someone out there needs Jesus. 
Man has a plan, God has a better one. God is merciful.  God is just.  God is faithful.  God is love. God is good.  God is in control.  We get what we don’t deserve..  we don’t get what we do deserve… that is God’s mercy and grace.  Praise God for it !  Praise God for the gift of His Son.  Praise God for reaching out instead of drawing away.  Just Praise God period.
May God bless you abundantly above all that you can even think to hope for.
here is my prayer Lord God this morning;
Father, we know that You are above all things and everything happens according to Your good and perfect plan for us when we look to You for our strength and guidance.  Lord, we thank You for giving Your Son so that we might have a right standing before you once again.  Lord, I ask that You bless each visitor to this site.  If there are those who visit who are still unsure about receiving Jesus as their personal savior, I pray that You will continue to place witnesses before them and draw them with Your Holy Spirit until they are ready to surrender their life to You.  I pray for those who have caused so many so much pain by their acts of hatred.  I know that it is Your good and perfect will that none be lost, so I pray that even our enemies might come to know Your saving grace before their time is through.  Create in them a new heart and let them begin to bring glory to Your name.  Father, be with those who are so afraid right now in our country and let them find the peace that passeth all understanding by reaching out to You and seeking comfort and rest in Your arms. 
Lord, You know the needs of each person visiting this site.  I pray, Father, that You will bless each one in ways they never dreamed possible so that there is no doubt as to where the blessings come from.  Let each one be blessed and become a blessing to others, also. I ask You to help each of us become yielded vessels that You can work through to reach out to a lost and hurting world.  Help us to see with our hearts the needs and hurts of others around us. Let our hands become Your hands used to serve and comfort others.  Your hands were that of a servant, Lord, help us to always remember that… You are above all, yet You came to serve not be served.   Lord, I can’t help but think that each time the clay, which represents my life, is placed in Your mighty hands, it is moistened with Your tears and mixed with droplets of the blood that flowed so freely from the nailprints of Your hands.  Is it any wonder then that each time You pick us up to mold us, we are just a little closer to being the vessel You can work through to touch the hearts of those around us.  Help us become what You would have us to be, Father, so that the message of Your great love and saving grace can be spread throughout the earth.  Thank You so much for caring enough not to give up on us, Lord.  All glory, honor and praise to the Master Potter of our lives.  In the Precious, Holy Name of Christ Jesus I pray.  Amen and Amen.

With God, the power within you is greater than the fear before you..

Hi Friend ~ the joy of the Lord to you!
Its 2 am in the morning and i can’t sleep.. so I called my Inay in the Philippines and asked how was she.. Oh i missed her so much.. she told me that she missed me too.. and after i called her God told me to read His words and as i was reading Psalms God reminded me how much He loves me.. so I got online after I had a wonderful conversation with the Lord and He wants me to share it with you all my friends..  "STORY OF MY LIFE" that was my first  post in this site of mine will relate with this one…  It speaks of standing still… when the storm is raging all around and you don’t know what else to do, just stand still.  Like I heard a pastor once say, "When you’ve done all you can do to stand, then stand."  You are not alone, the Lord is there even though you may not be able to sense His presence or find the faith you need to do anything other than just stand still. 
This vision is beyond that point tho.  This is the point where you feel the Lord saying to your heart, "It’s time to move on.  It’s time to leave everything in the past, look ahead, and not look back.  It’s time to press forward…  to look beyond yourself and all that satan puts in your way to try to cause you to stumble and just keep your eyes focused clearly on me.  I know the plans I have for you, plans not to harm you… but plans to give you a hope and a future."  Well, that’s what I’m doing.  I pressing through.  I know that my ways are not His ways.  I know that I may not always understand why things happen as they do but I do know that I love Him.  I love Him enough to trust Him.  I know that I cannot bring God down to my level of understanding.  Instead I have to rise up to the level of His Word.  And His Word says that He loves me and that I can trust Him in ALL things and that He will never leave me nor forsake me.  So as this vision so plainly points out… it’s time to just keep my eyes on Jesus and continue in that walk of faith and He WILL see me safely through.
We all have various trials and times of unrest in our lives.  I pray that those who need to hear this message most are led here and find the hope and encouagement they need to continue on in their walk of faith with confidence in the Lord, Jesus Christ. 
Remember above all else…. GOD LOVES YOU!!
Lord, our ways are not your ways.  We do not always see the work of Your hand
at play when we are going through things that seem so very hard.  But Lord, You have given each of us a measure of faith.  Now for some who visit this page, that may mean learning to let go of that desire to want to control the people or things around us… to turn everything completely over to You and trust that You will guide and direct us in Your good and perfect will that You have planned for our lives.  For some, it may be that we need to be able to trust You enough to look beyond the circumstances and keep our eyes focused clearly on You at all times.  To believe that no matter what satan would want us to believe, and that no matter what it may look like to us, that You, Lord,  are going to handle all things in the manner which is best for us.  We need to remember Your great love for us and to love You enough to trust You; to know that You will not fail us but will see us safely through whatever comes our way.  For others perhaps it is finding that smallest flicker of faith You have given each of  us to be able to take You at Your Word.  To believe that You loved us enough to send Your Son, Jesus, to die so that we might be forgiven.  Lord, whatever it is that we need to learn to trust You in, help us.  Increase our faith, Lord.  Let us know there is NO other way than You in which we will ever find that peace that passeth all understanding.  It is only in Your Son that we will find life.  Father, bless those who visit this page.  Draw them close.  Do a mighty work in their lives.  Pour out Your Spirit upon them and let them experience You in a way that they have never experienced You before.  In all things we give You the glory, the honor and the praise, dear Lord, for You alone God are worthy to be praised.  In Jesus’ name I pray.. amen and amen.

Lord, I ask you to bless each person that visits my blog.  Bless every friend, every family member, every acquaintence, every stranger, every foe, every person they even speak to or think about today.  For those who need salvation, may they be drawn by Your Spirit and receive the gift of Your Son.  For those who need healing.. whether physical, emotional, spiritual or mental… may they receive a touch from the Great Physician.  For those who need peace and strength, may they rest in You and find  peace and comfort and be renewed by Your Power.  May You fill their cup to overflowing Father and may they realize that You are the source of all their blessings and give You the glory, honor and praise forever.  In the Precious Name of Christ Jesus I pray.. amen and amen
