Fear of Old Age

Do you fear old age? I believe everyone feared this thingy, right? I do not know why you fear it but I know that we have different reasons why we fear getting old. As for me, I feared getting old because of the thought, “I still have many unfulfilled plans and dreams for myself and for my family”. I kept on thinking this thought every day because in a matter of days, I’ll be a year older.
During my devotion this morning, God surprised me with these scriptures:
Even to your old age and gray hairs I am he, I am he who will sustain you. I have made you and I will carry you; I will sustain you and I will rescue you.
(Isaiah 46:4, NIV)
Even in old age they will still produce fruit; they will remain vital and green.
(Psalm 92:14, NLT)
Wow! What a magnificent promise for us! Even in our old age, He still has promise for us. We just have to believe and claim it. Remember, He is true to His words.
Let’s pray.
Dear Daddy God,
I admit that I feared and worried getting old. I thank you for your assurance that even in my old age, you will still have plans for me. I love you! In Jesus’ name. Amen!

God spares the godly from evil
in the past, I asked the question “Why God allows good people to die early? Does He want the evil one to enjoy life more?” But today, I’ve learned that God is only sparing them from the evil things that are on their way. Read the scripture below.
Good people pass away; the godly often die before their time. But no one seems to care or wonder why. No one seems to understand that God is protecting them from the evil to come. For those who follow godly paths will rest in peace when they die.
(Isaiah 57:1-2, NLT)
I also experienced early death in my family. I have a nephew who died at a young age (9 years old) due to Leukemia. He is kind, sweet, caring, thoughtful and an achiever in school. I always told him that He will be great in whatever He wants in the future and He believed it. But God has a better plan for Him and that plan is to take my nephew with Him.
If you have a family member who died at an early/a young age, do not question God for taking him/her because God is only sparing him from evil. It’s hard, I know, but let God comforts you with His unfailing love.
Let’s pray.
Dear Daddy God,
Give us the courage and strength to accept your will/purpose to our deceased loved ones. May your unfailing love comfort us when we are experiencing times like this. We love you. In Jesus’ mighty name. Amen!

Spiritual Gifts
Yesterday, I dreamt something extraordinary. What amazed me is I remember everything that happened in my dream.
In my dream, I was in our office and I’m praying to our Almighty God in spirit then he led me to pray for my co-associates for healing. After that I went to them individually and I prayed that they will be healed in Jesus’ name. One of the amazing parts is that I’m praying for my boss (Ma’am Ning). I am aware that she has disorder in larynx. God told me to pray for that to be healed. Another amazing part is that one of my co-associates has a spirit of unbelief then I rebuked her of not believing to the power of our God.
When I woke up, I’m still thinking about my dream. I asked myself what it means. Before, I dreamed of casting out evil spirit. Now, God told me to heal the sick.
Late in the afternoon, I asked my sisters in Christ on “How to hear from God?” They all texted me the same answer but I told them that I already know that. What I want to learn is how to hear the audible voice of our Almighty Father. Krisette asked me if I already know my spiritual gifts or does anyone revealed to me or something. Then I told her about my dreams (casting out demons and healing the sick). She asked me, “Is there someone who told you that God will you use you to minister because those are apostolic gifts. Read 1 Corinthians 12.” I answered her, “Yes, during our EGR (Encounter God Retreat). They told me that God will use me mightily, that I will evangelize people and nation”. She replied again, “Peter was like that, remember? They casted out demons and healed the sick. So, you are Petra. Hahaha!” I answered, “I received, in Jesus’ name.”
Maybe some of us don’t know their Spiritual Gift yet but I believe that each one of us has. Check this list to identify yours or asked God for it.
Let’s pray.
Dear Daddy God,
Thank you for the gifts that you entrusted to us. We pray that we may use it for your greater glory and you may glorify in everything we do. We love you. In Jesus’ name. Amen!

Real Steel
I finally watched “Real Steel” with my friends (Bethanie dear and Kuya Arnie) last night. I’ve desired to watch this movie since 2 weeks ago but my friends are busy with their thingy.
After the 3rd Sunday Celebration last night, I invited Beth to watch the film with Kuya Arnie and they both agreed. We met up Kuya Arnie at intersection and went to SM Pampanga. While Beth and I are having dinner, Kuya Arnie bought tickets for the Last Full Show of the movie.
I’ve learned something from the movie and that is to “Fight smart, be patient and pray”. Fight smart, for me, these are the everyday struggles and adversities in our lives. We should know how to handle them so that we will win every battle. Be patient, of course we need to be patient at all times. We need to wait patiently and confidently for God’s perfect timing to all his promises, miracles and major set-ups in our lives. Lastly, pray, as the scripture says in 1 Thessalonians 5:17, “pray without ceasing (ESV), pray continually (NIV)”. While we are in the battle and in our waiting time, we should pray to our God for guidance and protection at all times.
Of course, I also have my favorite line or revelation aside from the things I’ve learned. It was delivered by Max Kenton, “I want you to fight for me. That’s all I’ve ever wanted”. These lines were said to his father when Charlie gave-up his son to her Aunt. Good thing is that Charlie learned from his mistake and He asked forgiveness to his son for abandoning him.
And the real steel of my life is our God. Why? Because "The LORD is my rock, my fortress, and my savior; my God is my rock, in whom I find protection. He is my shield, the power that saves me, and my place of safety." (Psalm 18:2, NLT)

Dear Daddy God,
Father, I thank you for the gift of friendship and life. Thank you for the wisdom and understanding for discernment and good judgment. I know that my Christian journey will not be a smooth sail but I know you will always be with me no matter what happened to me. I love you! In Jesus’ name. Amen!

What if GOD comes?
I just finished reading the book of Pastor Hiram Pangilinan’s, “What if God comes”. If you are looking for a book about revival, I strongly suggest this book to you.
What if God Comes?Created on Tuesday, 21 June 2011 04:24What If God Comes chronicles what God has been doing in a church that became hungry for Him, following God after Him at all costs. As a result the church has been witnessing: food and money supernaturally multiplying
- angels physically manifesting in their glory
- children moving in signs and wonders
And God wants to do the same for YOU... If you will let Him come. "This book is not only the most comprehensive revelation I have ever read on what God is doing today in revival; it also creates a desire in the reader's heart for more of the glory of God's presence."A.L. GILLAuthor, Supernatural Living through the Gifts of the Holy Spirit "This book is a must-read for everyone who wants to see revival in their lives, church, community and their nation."HERMAN MARTIRSenior Pastor, Nations Worship Center, Texas, USA
- and many more!

Happy birthday, Bethanie dear!
Father, we thank you for your faithfulness and goodness to Beth’s life. Lord, bless her thoughts, her heart, her ministry and the works of her hands. In Jesus’ name. Amen!

Halloween Lesson
Yesterday, our whole country visited their loved ones in the cemetery. But as for me, I chose to stay at home with my sister, niece and nephew. I’d love to visit the grave of my Mom but there’s something inside me that tells “no”.
While my sister and I is at Mommyow’s house in Mabalacat, I asked her, “Do you talk with the dead, I mean to our Mom every time you visited her grave?” She answered me, “yes”. Then I told her, “From now on, don’t ever do that again!” Why I forbid her in talking with our Mom? Because our Mom is already dead, she can’t hear us and talk to us like before.
Do you remember what King Saul did why our Almighty God removed the throne to him? He consulted a medium to talk with the dead. Read the scripture below to understand what I am trying to say.
Saul died because he was unfaithful and disobeyed the LORD. He even asked advice from a woman who talked to spirits of the dead, instead of asking the LORD. So the LORD had Saul killed and gave his kingdom to David, the son of Jesse.
(1 Chronicles 10:13-14, CEV)
Again, I asked my sister if she is still praying for the soul of our Dad and Mom. She answered me the same answer. I told her, “You don’t have to do that. Why? Because they are already judged and they are the one who are praying for us. Why? Because they want us to walk in a righteous path. If they are in hell, they are praying that we won’t do the things that make our Almighty Father mad at us. If they are in heaven, they are praying that God will sustain us with his power and grace.”
Now, if you are still doing what my sister does, I’m asking you to think about it. We have different beliefs and point of views regarding on this matter.
Let’s pray.
Dear Daddy God,
We know what Saul did during his time. We pray that we may not imitate his work and we may learn the examples of King David in consulting or inquiring you all the time. Thank you, Father. In Jesus’ mighty name. Amen!
