Event: Tu B'Av today
Funeral night for Jerson until Thursday. 

Here and Now:
I was happy last night to be praying with my mother at 9PM regarding the things that weighed down on my spirit last night, I had finished dinner and dinner made me sleepy and so I tried to listen to the word of GOD at 7 and fell asleep within those hours but I was disturbed with thoughts about Jerson and worried that my Mom had high blood pressure, I whispered prayers on my own but suddenly went up to be with Mom and finally we prayed together for Dad to snap out of the trap of  being caught up with entertainment and trying to be physically fit, he was suffering pain with his sciatic because GOD is trying to tell him something and we prayed for him to understand what his will is. I also prayed for Sandro Muhlach who was recently abused by two gay predators, and I am praying today for Arlene who is now in big debt because she forced her way to go to Dubai only to be rejected by that Nation.

ScripturesDeuteronomy 9:4-29

English Standard Version

“Do not say in your heart, after the Lord your God has thrust them out before you, ‘It is because of my righteousness that the Lord has brought me in to possess this land,’ whereas it is because of the wickedness of these nations that the Lord is driving them out before you. Not because of your righteousness or the uprightness of your heart are you going in to possess their land, but because of the wickedness of these nations the Lord your God is driving them out from before you, and that he may confirm the word that the Lord swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.

Psalm 17

English Standard Version

In the Shadow of Your Wings

A Prayer of David.

Hear a just cause, O Lord; attend to my cry! Give ear to my prayer from lips free of deceit!From your presence let my vindication come! Let your eyes behold the right!

You have tried my heart, you have visited me by night you have tested me, and you will find nothing; I have purposed that my mouth will not transgress.With regard to the works of man, by the word of your lips I have avoided the ways of the violent.My steps have held fast to your paths; my feet have not slipped.

I call upon you, for you will answer me, O God; incline your ear to me; hear my words.Wondrously show[a] your steadfast love, O Savior of those who seek refuge    from their adversaries at your right hand.

Keep me as the apple of your eye; hide me in the shadow of your wings,from the wicked who do me violence, my deadly enemies who surround me.

10 They close their hearts to pity;with their mouths they speak arrogantly.11 They have now surrounded our steps; they set their eyes to cast us to the ground.12 He is like a lion eager to tear, as a young lion lurking in ambush.

13 Arise, O Lord! Confront him, subdue him! Deliver my soul from the wicked by your sword,14 from men by your hand, O Lord, from men of the world whose portion is in this life. You fill their womb with treasure; they are satisfied with children, and they leave their abundance to their infants.

15 As for me, I shall behold your face in righteousness; when I awake, I shall be satisfied with your likeness.



ObservationGOD has a promise for me and last night I was listening again to Robert's teaching about reversing the curse of the month of Av. I understood that from Scripture that GOD wants me to believe that HE wants me to marry Stephen and to stand to that Promise without looking at the promise and even if the Promise seems impossible teacher Robert is teaching me that I should just believe irregardless of my present situation and this is also the word I received from GOD through Pastor Timmy's teaching last last Sunday. 

ApplicationI will stand in faith, I will believe GOD, I will trust GOD even if the Promise is impossible or far away. GOD always speaks in the imposible to prove that HE is GOD. I will believe even when I do not want to believe anymore, I will believe even though my heart is weary and tired. I will trust and obey by not opening my heart to meet other people and consider them for marriage. I will stay with GOD and pray that HE will protect me from making a mistake, HE will guard my heart from desperation and hopelessness that the promise will ever come to pass. I do not have to see to believe, I will believe without seeing and see HIS faithfulness unfold in my life.

PrayersDear AVI,Blessed are YOU O LORD My GOD KING of the Universe reigning in power and majesty and who owns all things, O GOD, I worship YOU and I cling to YOU for there is no other GOD in heaven and on earth but YOU. O GOD I celebrate today love day, YOU are the love of my life, no other love would ever be able to compare to YOU. O GOD, I rejoice as I think about every prayer that YOU have answered for my Mom for me, every prayer YOU have answered for me. I rejoice because then I know I love and worship the true and living GOD. I want to always and only think about YOU and who YOU are in my life. Thank YOU for the work that I have, thank YOU for the blessings we enjoy, may YOU make us O LORD, this family, a good steward of the blessings YOU have entrusted to us. I pray O GOD that YOU will always reign over each and every one of us - Dennis and Myra Flor, David and Kim, Dean and Denesse, Dorothy and Deric, Stephen and Marie Christine and Benita. I continue to pray and ask YOU to encounter the people who need YOU, who don't have YOU, whose hearts are far from YOU. I ask YOU to encounter and knock on the door of Stephen's heart, please KING JESUS speak to him, give him a need to know YOU to secure his eternal salvation and to live a fruitful life for YOU O GOD because life is meaningless without YOU. I pray YOU will begin to visit him, visit him O GOD, encounter them his mother too, and let them to seek YOU. Please GOD, put a spiritual hunger and thirst in their hearts. I pray O GOD minister to them, I pray use me to point them to JESUS. I pray O GOD, that YOU open up their hearts to YOU, O GOD, that they will think about life after death, and not only think about life on earth. I pray O GOD they will not disregard YOUR call but they will answer YOUR call to follow JESUS. Please O GOD let them follow and love the LORD JESUS, YOU can do it O GOD. As I already asked my Pastors to pray for him and my parents to pray for him, I ask YOU JESUS please do it for me, because YOU have promised me, do it for YOURSELF because YOU are the One who put this love in my heart for them. Please GOD, help me to endure in waiting in prayer. Help me to endure O GOD. I pray for Arlene, direct them LORD and provide for their needs. I do not feel the need to help them because they asked for my prayers anyway in deciding to go to Dubai, if YOU want me to help them change my feelings for Arlene but right now I do not have the urge to help them so that they will seek YOU O GOD. Help them to seek YOU. As I speak to Arlene may YOU take control of my thoughts and words and let me speak only words that come from YOU O GOD. I pray O GOD be glorified in everything I do and say for YOU deserve all the glory and praise! 
In the Name of YESHUA Amen!
