Day 3 and The rest

Day 3 

           During the third day of prayer and fasting, I failed to write anything! :( Hmm..what happened that day? I think I was so excited of course (because the next day, it'll be Jo's Victory Weekend)  but I think I get to pray for my friend's faith goals as well. I just realized na... gusto ko din ng mga faith goals nila? LOL. I mean, I also want it for them so I'm really expectant. Amazing future ahead of us all. Lalo na ang aking friend na si Gabby, gonna marry a Church-planter eh. #declaration ;)

The rest

I'm learning a lot really from simple happenings:

Praying

• Like when I prayed for a friend during the weekend. It's obvious that something's troubling her. She's not that "in-the-mood" so I was just happy when she asked me to pray for her. While praying, I realized that there's really a tendency to rely on myself than on the Holy Spirit. So always be reminded  na ang goal is not na manghula hula ka ng ipapagpray para ma meet mo yung ineexpect ng tao,  trying to perform blah blah para lang mabigyan ng justification yung title na "intercessor". Be truly led! 

Speaking in Tongues

• Pwede kang makiweekend. What I mean is. You can also be baptised with the Holy Spirit and have the manifestation kahit na hindi ikaw ang participant. Yep, my friend spoke in Tongues while ministering. Amazing. Hindi lang sa weekend mo sya pwedeng matanggap. ;) 

Ministering

• During the orientation for the ministry time, I re-learn loads of things too na pwedeng  i-apply as I make disciple: 

           -It's not about me, it's about the Word of God.

           -Affirm the truth in their lives and truth comes from the Bible (basa basa din ha?) 

           -John 8:32 "Then you will know the truth and the truth will set you free." 

           -Hanapin ang root ng struggle. We need to uproot that! 

           -Identify the lie, then banggain ng truth (ooops but don't forget, speak the truth in love) 

Being a Friend

• Be a friend. Listen. Be there. A friend called me and she's crying due to  work problems and dilemmas. You know those times na talaga namang gusto mong iligtas yung friend mo from their heartaches and trials? I felt that.  I hope I could be wiser and just say the right words para lang may ma realize sya or something para maging ok na sya. Pero yun nga, at the end of the day, listen and be there. Above all, what we could do is point them to the One na may magagwa sa situation nila. To the One who loves them far more than we do. So there. Pray with them and for them. 

Family

• WE VALUE FAMILY. FAMILY SALVATION! Make disciples in  my family! Last Sunday was my brother's birthday! I gave him a shirt with the words "SALVATION IS FOUND IN CHRIST ALONE". I think he likes it kahit na medyo malaki sa kanya. Hehe. Anyway, the highlight was when I  prayed for him while we are biking! Imagine. Wala talagang pinipiling sitwasyon. :) I can just tell that God is at work in my brother. He longs for Him. Lalo na after watching the movie "God's not Dead". I really pray and come on, I DECLARE na MAGIGING MEN OF GOD ang mga kapatid ko! In Jesus' name! :) Now I'm planning to give him Ardy Roberto's Real Men are POGI. Next time, Bible naman. :) 

Leading

• For Daddy Talks, He  read my thoughts: siguro mas mag gro-grow sila kung iba yung leader nila..kasi ganito lang ako.blah blah blah..

Pero eto yung sagot Nya  in Matthew 14:15-18 :

15 As evening approached, the disciples came to him and said, “This is a remote place, and it’s already getting late. Send the crowds away, so they can go to the villages and buy themselves some food.”

16 Jesus replied, “They do not need to go away. You give them something to eat.”

17 “We have here only five loaves of bread and two fish,” they answered.

18 “Bring them here to me,”

Kahit gaano pa kaliit ang maibibigay ko asa leader, ibibigay ko muna kay Jesus yun then Sya na ang bahalang mag multiply. :) 

Random yet I really treasure these things :)
