Blog EntryDoctrinal AffirmationAug 31, '07 6:19 AM
for everyone

I recognize that there is only one true and living God (Exo. 20:2,3), who exists as the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit and that He is worthy of all honor, praise and worship as the Creator, Sustainer and Beginning and End of all things. (Rev 4:11; 5:9,10; Is. 43:1, 7,12)

 

I recognize Jesus Christ as the Messiah, the Word who became flesh and dwelt among us (Jn. 1:1,14) I believe that He came to destroy the works of Satan (1 Jn.3:8), that He disarmed the rulers and authorities and made a public display of them, having triumphed over them (Col. 2:15)

 

I believe that God has proven His love for me, because when i was still a sinner, Christ died for me (Rom 5:8). I believe that He delivered me from the domain of darkness and transferred me to His Kingdom, and in Him I have redemption, the forgiveness of sins (Col. 1:13,14)

 

I believe that i am now a child of God (1 Jn 3:1-3), and that i am seated with Christ in the heavenlies (Ep. 2:6). I believe that I was saved by the grace of God through faith, that it was a gift and not the result of any works on my part. (Ep. 2:8)

 

I choose to be strong in the Lord and put in the strength of His might (Ep. 6:10). I put no confidence in the flesh (Phil. 3:3), for the weapons of my warfare are not of the flesh (2 Cor 10:4). I put on the whole armor of God (Ep. 6:10-17), and i resolve to stand firm in my faith and resist the evil one.

 

I believe that Jesus has all the authority in heaven and on earth (Matt. 28:18), and that He is the head over all rule and authority (Col. 2:10). I believe that Satan and his demons are subject to me in Christ because I am a member of Christ's body (Ep. 1:19-23). I therefore obey the command to resist the devil (James 4:7), and i command him in the name of Christ to leave my presence.

 

I believe that apart from Christ I can do nothing (Jn 15:5), so i declare my dependence on Him. I choose to abide in Christ in order to bear much fruit and glorify the Lord (Jn. 15:8). I announce to Satan that Jesus is my Lord (1 Cor. 12:3), and i reject any counterfeit gifts or works of Satan in my life.

 

I believe that the truth will set me free (Jn. 8:32), and that walking in the light is the only path of fellowship (1 Jn 1:7). Therefore, i stand against Satan's deception by taking every thought captive in obedience to Christ (2 Cor. 10:5). I declare that the Bible is the only authoritative standard (2 Tim. 3:15-17) I choose to speak the truth in love (Ep. 4:15)

 

I choose to present my body as an instrument of righteousness, a living and holy sacrifice, and i renew my mind by the living Word of God in order that I may prove that the will of God is good, acceptable and perfect (Rom. 6:13; 12:1,2)

 

I ask my heavenly Father to fill me with His Holy Spirit (Ep. 5:18), to lead me into all truth (Jn. 16:13), and to empower my life so that I may live above sin and not carry out the desires of the flesh (Gal. 5:16). I crucify the flesh (Gal. 5:24) and choose to walk by the Spirit.

 

I renounce all selfish goals and choose the ultimate goal of love (1 Tim. 1:5). I choose to obey the greatest commandment, to love the Lord my God with all my heart, soul, and mind, and to love my neighbor as myself (Matt. 22:37-39)


Blog EntryA Time For EverythingFeb 9, '07 5:04 PM
for everyone

i just want to share what i have read yesterday from the Bible. haay, nothing truly beats the advice taken from His words..

 

Ecc. 3:1-14 A Time For Everything

There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven:

 

a time to be born and a time to die,

a time to plant and a time to uproot,

a time to kill and a time to heal,

a time to tear down and a time to build,

a time to weep and a time to laugh

a time to mourn and a time to dance,

a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,

a time to embrace and a time to refrain,

a time to search and a time to give up,

a time to keep and a time to throw away,

a time to tear and a time to mend,

a time to be silent and a time to speak,

a time to love and a time to hate,

a time for war and time for peace.

 

What does the worker gain from his toil? i have seen the burden God has laid on men. He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they cannot fathom what God has done frome beginning to end. I know that there is nothing better for men than to be happy and do good while they live. That every man may eat and drink, and find satisfaction in all his toil-this is the gift of God. I know that everything God does will endure forever; nothing can be added to it and nothing taken from it. God does it, so men will revere him.

 

i know and i believe that God has better plans for me, for us. sometimes, what we want is not His best plan for us, so we are discoauraged, disappointed, hurt.. But you know what, God has already planned something for us, and that plan would be the best for us. sabe nga sa Col. 3:2 "Set your minds on things which are above" we should always be optimistic to the plans that God has for us. If God is for us, then who dares to be against us? (Rom 8:31b). aun, masaya mabuhay. walang kwenta ang buhay kung walang thrill and challenges. we need to taste everything what life can offer. we need to cry, we need to be hurt. why? because God is molding us to a best person that we can be. To live at our own potential. natutuwa ako sa mga ganto, pag me problema ako, umiiyak ka sa isang sulok taz walang nakakaintindi sayo. sige, binigyan ko ng time ung sarili ko magemote. taz when i talk to God, He will really tell you His answer. anggaleng talaga..

 

My biggest enemy is DISAPPOINTMENT. sino ba may gusto nun? pero sabe ni Lord, me panahon para diyan, we just need to trust in Him. oo, nasaktan tayo, parte un eh. kelangan lang naten talaga iaccept un. and move on AND be POSITIVE sa future. kasi we should live in God's favor! ayoko lang kasi ng mga negative sa paligid ko. ayoko ng may nagseself-pity, oo, be sad today, pero wag lagi. kasi you're missing a lot, God wants you to grow! if you let yourself stay on bitterness, naku. pano na tayo niyan db?

 

aun lang. so, i expect for greater things that'll come my way. i'll be receiving bountiful blessings! i know coz i believe in Him :)
