Event:

Meeting with church Accountant Gingging

Here and Now:
I slept with a happy heart because I came from my brother David and Kim's home with my sister Grace and we had a happy bonding time together eating Balamban Liempo and playing cards for Shobe to enjoy time there. I love being in their home simply by just talking my heart out, their warmth and the presence of GOD is there and I still yet have to share many things to my sister Kim because she is one of the people who is gentle to my heart like David. But I told Kim last night, I am giving up on Stephen because I don't want this desire to become an idol in my heart. Like a fly victim that is ensnarled by the electric light. I don't want this to consume me, but I have yet to tell her these things.

Scriptures

Hebrews 10:19-39

English Standard Version

The Full Assurance of Faith

19 Therefore, brothers,[a] since we have confidence to enter the holy places by the blood of Jesus, 20 by the new and living way that he opened for us through the curtain, that is, through his flesh, 21 and since we have a great priest over the house of God, 22 let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. 23 Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful. 24 And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, 25 not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.

26 For if we go on sinning deliberately after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins,

27 but a fearful expectation of judgment, and a fury of fire that will consume the adversaries. 28 Anyone who has set aside the law of Moses dies without mercy on the evidence of two or three witnesses. 29 How much worse punishment, do you think, will be deserved by the one who has trampled underfoot the Son of God, and has profaned the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified, and has outraged the Spirit of grace? 30 For we know him who said, “Vengeance is mine; I will repay.” And again, “The Lord will judge his people.” 31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

32 But recall the former days when, after you were enlightened, you endured a hard struggle with sufferings, 33 sometimes being publicly exposed to reproach and affliction, and sometimes being partners with those so treated. 34 For you had compassion on those in prison, and you joyfully accepted the plundering of your property, since you knew that you yourselves had a better possession and an abiding one. 35 Therefore do not throw away your confidence, which has a great reward. 36 For you have need of endurance, so that when you have done the will of God you may receive what is promised. 37 For,

“Yet a little while,    and the coming one will come and will not delay; 38 but my righteous one shall live by faith,    and if he shrinks back,my soul has no pleasure in him.”

39 But we are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who have faith and preserve their souls.

Observation

The confession of my hope is that KING JESUS saved me, so I can live for HIM and bring others to HIM, and do many good works that HE has called me to do in the family business so that I can glorify HIM. The confession of my hope, HE promised me a husband to love me as long as I continue to obey HIM and endure the trials that I face as I walk in the paths of righteousness and the narrow road. The confession of my hope is that my obedience and faith will be rewarded, both now in the troubled world where I live and the age to come.

Application

I will not throw away my confidence, because my confidence is not in the way people treat me, be it my family or husband, but the way GOD treats me at the end of it all, I will receive rewards. I need to ENDURE (what my brother David has encouraged me since long past) so that when I have done the will of GOD, I will receive HIS promises. I will not shrink back in faith because the KING is coming, both my human husband and my husbandKING JESUS they are coming for me, and they do not delay.

Prayers

Dear AVI,

Baruch Ata Adonai Melek Ha Olam! Blessed are YOU KING of the Universe forever! What a word of encouragement that I need so much to hear today. Help me KING JESUS, help me by taking full control of my heart and my thoughts, help me to surrender all things to YOU and to keep trusting YOU that YOU are working out all things for me. Help me to just obey you without thinking or reasoning. Let YOUR Spirit O GOD overtake me, fill me with YOUR HOLY GHOST and continue to speak to Stephen and Benita and knock on their hearts, save them O GOD and fill them with YOUR Spirit and love. I will continue to pray for them as a sign of my obedience but I do not want to hope in the fact that he will be mine someday, I will hope in YOU that YOU have called me to pray for others and YOU will give me more than I have asked or imagined. I will continue to pray for mother to be obedient to YOU, to submit to Dad, to be more considerate of others, that YOU will deal with her and Dean and Denesse and their pride and cause them to be humble O GOD because they are bringing pain to my heart. Please GOD let Dad be involved, stand up for what is right, even though it causes them trouble. O GOD I pray that YOU will deal with my mother and heal her from all her pain. Heal us all O GOD from the enemy's attacks, who has been trying to destroy YOUR People.

In the Name of JESUS I pray, Amen!
