I TOUCH THE SKY WHEN MY KNEES HIT THE GROUND

Title: I touCh the Sky when my knees hit the Ground
Fiel Martinez

Surrendering and humility are two words often looked down upon in this world. These two words more often than not equates to weakness and lack of authority.

1 Peter 5:5-7, NLT, "In the same way, you who are younger must accept the authority of the elders. And all of you, dress yourselves in humility as you relate to one another, for “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.” So humble yourselves under the mighty power of God, and at the right time he will lift you up in honor. Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you.

Humility attracts heaven
In this world we need to be on top to be recognized at school, in the office, and also in a group. But with God it works in a very different way. For us to be able to touch God’s heart we need to humble ourselves. Humility makes God smile. Humility is the spirit of heaven. When we humble ourselves before God, he pours out his blessing on us. And what is more worthwhile in life than having God’s favour in your life. Humility attracts heaven and it touches the heart of God.

Surrender is power
Never surrender. It’s one of the favourite sayings of this world. But in the language of heaven, surrendering to God is a manifestation power. When you surrender and let God move in your seemingly difficult situation that is when he is most powerful. Surrender is freedom from the illusion that you can do it all. It is freedom from fear, doubts, worries and addiction. Surrender and just allow God to turn thing around for your good.

LIVE LIGHTLY

Live Lightly
by: Pastor Anthony D. Martinez

Matthew 11:28-30, NLT, "Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls.30 For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.”

Has anybody benefited from worrying? Worry doesn’t seem to hurt anyone but always facilitates sickness, paranoia and insecurities. Many people suffer because unnecessary baggages and honestly speaking, those people don’t deserve that.

To live lightly, we must practice these three things that will surely help us exercise our freedom as Christians who have already been redeemed from unnecessary mind troubles.

How to live your life lightly?
1.   Confess
-      Confession liberates us. Contrary to what we have believed it to be (shameful, degrading), confession, as a believes, is something honourable. It helps us live our free lives in tact.
-      You have to agree, acknowledge
-      We should confess everyday because everyday we break the heart of Jesus
-      Confession is a part of repentance.
-      1 John 1:8-10, NLT, "If we claim we have no sin, we are only fooling ourselves and not living in the truth. But if we confess our sins to him, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all wickedness. 10 If we claim we have not sinned, we are calling God a liar and showing that his word has no place in our hearts.
-      Unconfess sin is a heavy burden. - Pastor Gelo
-      Confession is acknowledging that God is right.

2.   Consecrate
-      To be consecrated means to be set apart from God’s purpose. It also means being aligned to the will of God. Alignment to the will of God outside the comfort of church ministries are as important. Every detail of our lives is involved!
-      Joshua 3:5, NIV, "Joshua told the people, “Consecrate yourselves, for tomorrow the Lord will do amazing things among you.”
-      Joshua 7:13, NIV, "Go, consecrate the people. Tell them, ‘Consecrate yourselves in preparation for tomorrow; for this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: There are devoted things among you, Israel. You cannot stand against your enemies until you remove them."
-      When you are not doing the will of God, you are wasting your time.
-      Align yourself to the will of the Lord.

3.   Concentrate
-      There is no other way to complete living lightly that is fixing our eyes on Jesus. He is the source of our strength, hope, and joy. It is impossible to live lightly without Him. He is the Author and Finisher of our faith, therefore, to concentrate is perfect living lightly!
-      Hebrews 12:1-3, MSG, "Do you see what this means—all these pioneers who blazed the way, all these veterans cheering us on? It means we’d better get on with it. Strip down, start running—and never quit! No extra spiritual fat, no parasitic sins. Keep your eyes on Jesus, who both began and finished this race we’re in. Study how he did it. Because he never lost sight of where he was headed—that exhilarating finish in and with God—he could put up with anything along the way: Cross, shame, whatever. And now he’s there, in the place of honor, right alongside God. When you find yourselves flagging in your faith, go over that story again, item by item, that long litany of hostility he plowed through. That will shoot adrenaline into your souls!"

-      What every makes you pray is a blessing.

Dream House

October 24, 2014


My husband and I are planning to buy or to build a house. We are distraught about the cost of buying or constructing a new house and filling it (furniture, appliances, etc). We have many opinions from our relatives and friends and we even surveyed a low cost housing in our near municipality. What struck me is one of our Aunts opinion, she told us to ask God for wisdom and direction in our decision making.

On that night, I asked God what He wants for us. I am amazed when He answered me, He said, Enlarge your house; build an addition. Spread out your home, and spare no expense!” (Isaiah 54:2, NLT). His answer is very clear. He wants us to build a new house and to spend without regarding the cost. And that same night, I received the proposed floor plan of our house from an architect friend.


The Proposed Floor Plan


When I look Isaiah 54 in The Message (MSG) translation, it says, “Make your tents large. Spread out! Think big!  Use plenty of rope, drive the tent pegs deep. You’re going to need lots of elbow room for your growing family.” I am married with 1 (one) child but I’m still praying for an addition to our family but when I read this word in The Message translation it is now clear to me why God wants us to enlarge our house and build an addition it’s because of our growing family. I’m praying and hoping that I will be pregnant with our second child this year.


Let’s pray.

Dear Heavenly Father,

Thank you for your word, for answering us when we are in doubt and when we need answers. Thank you for being true to your word and promises. Father, I know that these promises will come to pass in your perfect timing. Right now, I am entrusting all our plans and cares in your hands. I love you. In Jesus’ name. Amen!

Something Big Lyrics


Something Big
By: John Waller


I wanna see something I've not seen
Something so big
I wanna be a part of something great
Greater than me

It's time to dream big dreams
To see Your vision
Become reality
‘Cause it’s for You, by You, those who
Love You wanna do

Something so big
It’s destined to fail without You, Lord
It’s gonna fail without You, Lord
Something so great
It takes a miracle to do
We, Your children
Wanna do something big for You

We, yes, we are gonna sing a brand new song
Something so strong
We will be the sound that wakes the dawn
Something so loud

It’s time for breaking through
‘Cause there are no limits
For he who holds the truth
When it’s for You, and by You, and those who
Love You wanna do

Something bigger, something greater
For the glory of Your splendor
Something bigger, something greater
Tell the story of Your wondrous love
Your wondrous love
Those who love You wanna do

As long as we live, let us do something so big for You

Be Still, and know that He is God


Hello, guys! Missed me? Hehehe! It’s been almost 3 months since the last time I posted an entry. I’ll try to catch up with you, guys.

Anyway, we know that we only have less than two (2) months before the year 2012 ends, right? Maybe some of us here have already received their exceptional harvest and some are still waiting for theirs to come. Like you, I’m still waiting for mine though most of  them were are already given by our Heavenly Father.

To those who are still waiting for their exceptional harvest, I would like to remind and encourage you from this passage. God says in Psalm 46:10, “Be still, and know that I am God!”

God wants us to remain calm and patient in waiting for our exceptional harvest and He also wants us to know that He is God. Amen?

Now, I have a question, when we say “God” what comes to your mind? Father of Jesus Christ? Creator of Heaven and Earth? And etc. Sometimes, we limit God on how we know Him. Right? Don’t worry, I’m also like that. I also have a little knowledge about Him. While I’m surfing the net about the other names and characteristics of our Almighty God, I am amazed with the results. I pray that His names may give you revelation of who He really is.

As we wait for our exceptional harvest before the year ends, let us hold on and depend to our God. All He wants us to do is to “Be still, and know that He is God”.


Let’s pray.

Heavenly Father, you are more than enough to us and your presence is already an exceptional harvest for those who seek you. As the year ends, we hold on and we put our expectations only to you because we know that you are more than able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we could ask or think and the best is yet to come. Thank you. In Jesus’ name. Amen!

My Prayer


November 1, 2012

My prayer when I’m encouraging myself:

Heavenly Father, I know that you know what you are doing and you already planned out everything for my life. Though I do not see anything that is happening around me, I believe that you are working on my background. Remember, Dad that you promised me a rich and satisfying life and you will not leave me until you have finished giving me everything you have promised me. Thank you and I love you. In Jesus’ name. Amen!

Highly Favored by the Most High


Last night, while my boyfriend and I have this usual conversation, I told him that I’m not a teacher’s favorite or a teacher’s pet when I was studying. If my teacher has a favorite student, it would always be my friend. Now that I’m already working, it’s also the same.

When I went to bed to sleep, God spoke to me. He said, “Even though you are not crowd’s favorite, you are highly favored by the Most High God.”

I was stunned to this truth. Do you know what does it mean? If God’s favor is with you, the people around you can’t help their selves not to help you. What’s more? We know how fickle minded the people are—today they like us, tomorrow they hate us—but our God is not like that, He fulfills what He promises.

If you feel that you are the least favorite of the people around you and it seem it’s impossible for them to help you, always remember that you are highly favored by the Most High God.

For God’s gifts and his call are irrevocable. – Romans 11:29, NIV
