Scripture:
Romans 12: 19 "Never take your own revenge, beloved, but leave room for the wrath of God, for it is written, “VENGEANCE IS MINE, I WILL REPAY,” says the Lord"
Observation:
God has placed us in our daily situation so that we may lead the life which Christ has planned for us. Our lives should be God centric life, Monday comes after Sunday worship, how Christian orientated is my Monday starting out? God gave us the heart and the flesh to share his love. We have to learn to let our emotions and take situation into our own hands. God is be the judge of that, rather he wants us to love even those who are harmful to us. God want us to openly love the needed, and harmful ones. When the day come, God will judge and we are in no place to judge anyone.
Application:
Don't try to resolve or take a spirals situation into my own. Prayer and reach out to God, I have no authority to judge anyone and any circumstance. God will judge me for judging other. When the day comes, God will place his judgement onto everyone. Therefore, I need to learn to forgive and love even my enemies, though it will be difficult, but God love unconditionally despite the deception and betrayal.
Prayer:
Father convict my heart. Convict my heart to forgive those who have hurt me and my family. Like you gave your unconditional love to those who betrayed you and deceived you, Father give me to courage in my heart to forgive my enemies. Father thank you for your unconditional love and blessing in my life and my family. Father give us the strength to be alert and not be the judge of our circumstance and try to handle the circumstance own, but we will reach out to you. Father hear our cry for your healing and your guidance. Father thank you for so much gifts we take for granted. Father God, you are ultimate judge, Father let my actions and words be pleasing and bring my joy in your heart. In your precious precious name amen.

Scripture:
Romans 11: 21-22 "for if God did not spare the natural branches, He will not spare you, either. Behold then the kindness and severity of God; to those who fell, severity, but to you, God’s kindness, if you continue in His kindness; otherwise you also will be cut off."
Observation:
For the past week or so, during our service and CG group we were discussing about reaching out to the outsider. And the Romans chapter 11 is a good example of that. When Israel tried to fixed with God, it was obvious that God was not happy when we work in the interest of our own gain. Obviously God will give you the result you are looking for hence, you might work even harder to accomplish your OWN goal. But if we are the chosen one, the servants of God, we should not be self centered by our own greed and goals, we should seek what God had intended for us. His interest. Once you seek your own self interest, you are not setting it right, but rather you are running away from God. For the faithful ones, and ones who live in God's righteousness, God has planted this strong seed of roots for us to grow and reach out to outsiders. If we become too arrogant of our self inflicted goals and accomplishment, and forget God, we are dead to God. He doesn't tolerant arrogance and fixation that all things done for self interest. God want us to expand our branch to those outside, to bring the outsider closer to his kingdom. To welcome them and help them built their own root of solvent so that they may expand out their branches. Our God is kind, in sense that he forgive us and give us multiple chances to fix with God, to get it right with God. But if we sake his kindness and forgiveness for our selfish morals, God will no longer be kind and will be forever disappointed. That's you have cut yourself away from God and joined the group of Satan's followers.
Application:
My life should not be centered around my self interest. Continue to work and seek the interest of God. And his plan to expand the strong root he has planted for me. Let me root be preserve and grow stronger that I can branch out my strong roots to those who are partially dead. Bring them up from the dead to living life again. Take God's kindness and be bold and share the kindness with others, kindness and God's grace is contagious virus. Let that virus be spread amongst all. Learn to be selfless because God want us to be selfless servants seeking his interest.

Father God, I lift my heart and soul to you. Father heal the soul and help so that my heart will seek your plans and your interest for this world.

This scripture (this chapter) is about believing and preaching the word of God. If our heart is in right place with God, asking for his grace and help we shall receive. By confessing and asking for help we shall get the help from the Lord. Where is your heart at? Are you one of those who calls out but is clueless to who our Messiah, the Father is?

Scripture:
Romans 7: 4 "Therefore, my brethren, you also were made to die to the Law through the body of Christ, so that you might be joined to another, to Him who was raised from the dead, in order that we might bear fruit for God."
Observation:
God sacrifice everything and every sinful deeds we had, he took that with him to the cross. So that we may be reborn and our sin has been laid to death. This gave us the freedom to walk away from our old life style without any worries and start a new life filled with God's grace and love. We are build to sin, and it is our natural human habit to sin, and gradually further our self from God. Though mentally we might be aware our actions, however, that does not stop us, Sin does over power us often. Hence, Jesus Christ died on the cross and rose back in 3 days, this is symbolic image, that when Jesus had died on the cross with nails on his hand and feet he consumed all our sins, that it will die with him. We can be free from sin. He was rose, so that we will raise and be able to live in freedom and love of God. So why is it that, we cannot seem to stop sinning? We are self conscious of our actions, but what are we doing to improve our life style? I cannot allow myself to think that it is okay to continually live the life style filled with sins, because God will sacrifice his Son to relinquish me from those sins. God does not work that way. It is my job to be self conscious and come with full power of authority over my sins.
Application:
Entrust in God's will and power to lead me in the direction he plan. It is common to rebel against God, but be in peace with it, that will present much greater gift in the future. I am not going to know what future holds but only God, therefore his gracious plan is worth every fiber in my body to apply. Is it enough that God had died for me? Who would do that? No one, I for one would have hard time dying for anyone but my family. But Christ dies on cross and bear all that pain so that I may not suffer in sin and be free from all that sins.
Prayer:
Father Lord, thank you for the cross, thank you for your gracious sacrifice. Father guide me and help me see your plans for me, Father continue to love me and guide me to the light though I may rebel against you. Father let me be fearless servant, help and lead my spiritual growth in the direction you plan for me. Lord let mt heart be open to hear your voice of truth, and Father your abundance blessing is amazing and overwhelming, but thank you for everything and so many great gifts that we take granted daily. Father guide me to gain knowledge of your words and you so that I may be prepare to share your faith and grace to others who seek you. Father thank you for your humbleness and kindness.

Scripture:
Romans 6:6 "knowing this, that our old self was crucified with Him, in order that our body of sin might be done away with, so that we would no longer be slaves to sin;"
Observation:
Amen to that. It is very natural for humans to sin and live a sinful life without our knowledge. When we do sin we pretend that God will forgive and continue to live the same life pattern. That is not the case, sounds like according to the scripture, we are save by God's grace and faith through his son's blood Jesus Christ, this give us a fresh start, but we should not let sin overwhelm our life. God created us with consciousness for reason, so if we know we are saved so let that idea of sinner be the factor in effecting our lives. We should move forward, rather than be stuck in one place. Idea of sinner is not the primary factor that will lead and guide our life. Rather celebrate the crucifixion of Jesus Christ and second chance we receive. Not be drag into the sins but break out from sinful life.
Application:
Relinquish myself from doubts and worries of my sins. But celebrate the rebirth for the blood of Jesus Christ has given me second chance to live faithfully and life full of God's grace. Don't let my idea's of sinning be the reason for celebrating God. Rejoice in the salvation God has given and be free from Sins to live beyond the small confide life but much bigger life with God,
Prayer:
Father, thank you for relinquish me from all the dark sin and dark life I have been dragged to. You have shown the light and through your grace, I was slowly able to walk closer to you. Father you are amazing, your powers and your work is amazing. Father thank you for your never ending love and abundance of blessing. Father continue to stir my heart and mold my heart that I may celebrate to fullest as faithful servant.

Father God, help to prioritize you in my life, and I continue to grow in your faith. Father thank you and I love you. You are awesome, and you cannot be replace with anything, guilt or anything in this world. Father give me strength to guide those who seek you and want to learn about you. Father I just give me the strength to speak the right words and share the right deeds. In your name Amen.

Scripture:

Sheer gift" (Message version)
Observation:
General Roman is very difficult chapter, it is coded that it takes so much time to dissect it. As Paul writes to churches of Rome, my picture of this is Paul is standing in front of Church of Rome who are mature church and audience, Paul is sharing to readdress the importance of truly be faithful. Faithful and understanding God's grace. Like for me, I can get gift and what I have earn mixed up. If I work hard I have deserved, and God has rewarded me for my hard work. But as the Scripture says, wages are something that is not a gift from God. God providing us so that we are able to work and share the wealth, the circumstances he gave might be the gift. How often do we take on a task that are not accomplishable? Probably rarely? At least for me, I tried to run away from the impossible, part because I don't want to disappoint others and myself. It is through impossibility task that you see the God's gift and grace. Like the message version says "Set it right with God". God give this impossible challenges, so that we may built great trust in his grace. Obviously we take daily task for granted. Doing the impossible, he seek him and we entrust in his hand that he will guide and lead us to do well. Especially, when I have few friends, who are in need of someone who can be accountable to help them built their faith, but I am at lost to how to guide them. Them knowing I am Christian they approach me for advice, but I feel I am not knowledgeable to share and guide to right direction. Now, this is not yet a impossible take, however, is much bigger task then my normal routines. This kind of task and prayer, God's miracle and grace and his true gifts will be shown.
Application:
Do not be afraid to embrace the impossibility. God will guide and lead onto the right direction for me to succeed. God loves to hear prayers of the impossible (e.g. salvation of fellow friends). God does not fear anything, there I should not fear the unknown. God will "set it right" in time. Be patience and set myself right with God. Have for trust and faith in our miracle worker. God will prevail and lead those prayers into righteousness. That is doing what God has been preaching all along.
Prayer:
Our merciful Father, Our miracle working Father, Father you have given me this conviction to serve and help those who are lost in their Spiritual walk to "set it right" with you. Father give me the knowledge and strength to do such impossible. As individual who have conviction to know you more, in the stage of learning about you more, Father help me that my mouth and the words I share with this individuals may be right and lead them into right path. Father thank you for the amazing abundance of love and gift you have given.

Father thank you and I love you. In your name Amen!

Scripture:
Romans 3:19 "Now we know that whatever the Law says, it speaks to those who are under the Law, so that every mouth may be closed and all the world may become accountable to God;"
Observation:
It is clearly stated that we are not to judge or to condemn anyone for anything. As the scripture points out, as the servant's of God's law, we shall live in the law and take actions upon the law. By judging others we are moving further against from our God's commands. We have no superior power to judge anyone or anything regardless, however we can share the grace and love he has for us with them. Share the wisdom God has given and versus speaking of poison and filling out mouth with poison. By judging others we are doing no good, and our hearts are not onto seeking God but stepping away from that faith. It is also clearly stated what will be done to who speak of lawlessness. Our God is fair and just, for he is the only person who will judge. Any judgement we base on are useless as God will be the only Judge and will judge according to his law on the day.
Application:
Live and speak in God's law. Share the wisdom and grace he gives and let his grace be known to others. If we are to called to be his faithful servant, let our words be wise and actions show love. Let our words speak and resonate God's mercy and grace upon others. Always speak the truth for God knows all, he will be disappointed if we twist his law for our own selfish benefits.
Prayer:
Our gracious Father, thank you for today, and your wise message through Pastor Bob. Father, your love for me is so overwhelming, and the blood of Jesus Christ for my salvation. Thank you Lord, thank you for chosen such broken soul and healing and cleansing. Father guide me, give me the knowledge to speak your words wisely, and share your mercy and grace with others. I pray that you will continue to build the burn bridge, working to rebuilt the bridge so that I may get near to your kingdom. Father, let your grace work in me to gain more knowledge of you and built more intimate relationship with you. I seek you and I yarn for you. Father thank you for the abundance that cannot be put into words, and your love you pour onto me. Father, let my actions and words be within your law, that I may speak the truth within your laws, and my actions be within your laws. Let my actions and word bring glory and praise to you. Father thank you for your protection, and your continuous growth in me. I thank you and love you. In your name Amen.

5/21/2011 - LJ "There is no partial"
Scripture:
Romans 2:1 "Therefore you have no excuse, everyone of you who passes judgment, for in that which you judge another, you condemn yourself; for you who judge practice the same things."
Observation:
God does not look at us or judge us and give partial acceptance or rewards. Just because we might listen to his words and repeat after it doesn't mean that we are meeting to God's expectation or are his faithful servant. Man can speak and can be convincing with words, which those words can be meaningless, what does that do when words are meaningless yet man boast about it to others. There is no excuse for that, God has laid out the how the actions of faithful servant should be and what we should do, rather than say to others. We cannot by pass anything against God, he knows every spec of us inward and outward, he will not partially grant us to his kingdom but he will judge us based on our whole package. God will judge us fairly, by his law if we are his servant. We have no authority or power to judge one another or conclude what God's judgement will be upon on us.
Application:
God is fair and good, and be a faithful servant of his but doing what he has instructed (fellow Christians) and taught us to do. Rather than speaking and preaching words which we may believe or not believe, let our actions speak louder than words. Let God be the judge of our actions, and let our actions be pleasing to God. If I preach of being certain person, I need to act on that. Do not be a hypocrite but be a faithful and honest servant of the Lord.
Prayer:
Father God, fair and awesome Lord, thank you for your grace and your power. Thank you for might cause for choosing me and saving me to serve you. Father, help me to be servant who lay out into actions versus mouthful of words. Lord help and guide me to be a servant whose actions are pleasing and bring praise to your kingdom. Father thank you for amazing love, and blessing. So much you provide and little things we take for granted. Father your love is so amazing and so big and though I feel not worthy of your love, Father I know it is Satan who is playing with my heart. Father my heart seeks you and your grace. Father my heart cries for your words and knowledge. Give me to strength to know you better, and understand you better. Father thank you for healing my soul slowly but surely, working to unravel my darkness and bringing close to light of your kingdom. Father let your love and grace resonate in me and I have the courage to share with others. Father thank you thousands and love you thousand, continue to mold me and built me into the faithful servant you have plan for, you love me regardless my flaws, but you are so grand that nothing can overcome. Father thank you and in your precious name Amen.

Scripture:
Romans 1: 20 "For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse."
Observation:
God have this master plan for his people, and it is my job as servant to resonate his plans and follow through. God has clearly stated he doesn't tolerate the fakes and excuses of the fakes. He will diminish the ones who does not abide by his law. What will happen to those people who trust their life into the frenzy of world ending of 5/21/2011? Where do they fall into the bucket? The believer who say they are faithful ones, or artificial believers? God's power exists everywhere, his love and grace resonates all time. We live in his grace and he will come to us at his time, not anyone's time to take us to his kingdom. We take so much for granted as always, God's love and his gift, great example, after disasters in Japan quake and tsunami, how so many people have come as one to support and share the love in the recovery of the disaster. Even more amazing is how people did not give excuses or blamed anyone about their circumstances, they embraced it and thanked everyday for what was remained.
Application:
Embrace God's plan, love the lesson he brings to me. Though they might be tough to deal with now, but there is bright light at the end of the tunnel, God waiting for me to welcome me to his kingdom. Resonate to others of his love and grace, just as he has shower me with. Respect and love even the smallest things in life, because they are all part of God's gift and plan for our eternal life.
Prayer:
Father God, thank you for your divine power and your salvation. Thank you for the cross and rebirth of me as a servant of you Lord. Embrace me to be a faithful servant, and to serve your plans accordingly. Lord, help me to contain knowledge of you close to my heart. Father continue to mold my heart and cleanse my heart. I may learn to love and forgive and embrace all the people who have hurt me and my family whether they are artificial christian or not. Give me to courage to help them and understand your grace, the power of your love and eternity. Father thank you for the abundant blessing you provide daily, the air we breathe to having a roof over our head. We take so many things for granted. Father let me be faithful to serve through your plans, that my actions and decision bring much glory in your name Father. Sustain the demons in me, help me break away from my darkness into your will and grace. Father you live in me and I live in you, continue to pour your love and teaching, help to prioritize you in my life. In your name amen.

Scripture:
2 Thessalonians 3:14 "If anyone does not obey our instruction in this letter, take special note of that person and do not associate with him, so that he will be put to shame."
Observation:
How often, do I wake up in the morning with the joy of going to work? I would say rarely. But when I am at work, I do honest and work efficiently, and look into best interest of the company. How often, do I get excited about God? Probably just as same as going to work. Yet, I know he is in presences, and his grace and blessing are all around, yet I don't work hard enough to maintain that intimate relationship. I guess I am looking the easy way of getting closer to heaven. Not by cheating but trying to take the easy steps. But we all know there are no easy path, nor A or B path is any easier than others. Each path has much discipline, and work that need to be accomplished to get onto next step. Though salvation was given, now it is time to sweat some to repay my debt. This also fall along by long struggle with my aunts and uncles and their daughter. They are all looking to easy way of gaining wealth, even if that means hurting and destroying a family. Yet, they put on this persona that they are faithful Christians who work extremely hard. But as it is said, easy path does not lead to bliss, God will shine a darkness and shame on them. This is lesson for my family and I to not dwell on the past and pain, but move on and work even harder for God's grace is always in us and working to mold us into better and faithful servant.
Application:
Do not be hinder about God's presence and his work of grace. Be blessed and joyful daily and share the joy and blessing with others. Do not be afraid to share, if people have close heart, don't want to listen all I can do is pray for them. Share the good new of his existences and his love for us. Do not be timid Christians but out spoken Christian yet put an example of good faith to others.
Prayer:
Father, awesome Father God, thank you for my salvation, and my blessing you give daily. Father I am lazy being, who looks the other way at times and look for easy pass to your kingdom. Father God, forgive my soul for such, and help to stir and bring me to be hard worker. Hard worker who will put out the output that bring joy and glory to your name. Father God, you have shown so much to my family and I, your grace, love, healing and blessing to name few. We are so grateful, yet we take many for granted, Father give us the realization of our blessing and to have each other amongst your grace. Father thank you for the time of healing and forgiving our self and those we have done bad things to us. God, you continue to mold our hearts and Father give us the passion in our heart the deep fire of desire to out spoken Christian, to open and share your grace and love to others. Let our actions set a great example of faithful servant which you can be proud of. Father I know you will punish those who are hypocrites. Forgive my and my families hypocrisy. Let your love empower our doubts and timidness. Father you are magnificent, and wonderful God, I thank you for every minute you give me and every spec of love you shower me with. I pray I may bring some glory in your kingdom for my actions, Father I love you, and love you. In your name amen.

Scripture:
2 Thessalonians 2:13 "But we should always give thanks to God for you, brethren beloved by the Lord, because God has chosen you from the beginning for salvation through sanctification by the Spirit and faith in the truth."
Observation:
There are so many Satan influence in this world. People who are wreck less, prejudice and faithless. But God will deliver and bring to end of those who are of Satan influence. God has clearly stated, in his story book when he will come to lift us off to his kingdom. Though we may desire that, life of painless and just joy, we cannot let Satan influence our views. These days, it is all over the news, the end of the world May 21, 2011 - per one individual (Harold Camping). Yet people folk onto his ridiculous feeding and prepare themselves for that. We should let any one or anything influence us exception to Lord's word. For it contains all the truth and facts. Such facts cannot be detained by human beings. Hence as faithful servant and believer God has chosen to love us and cleanse through salvation. For God is only way to the truth, and nothing else will come between God and myself.
Application:
Give thanks for the cleansing of my sins through God's only son Jesus Christ blood and the cross he carried. Let no media or individuals influence or impact my desire and my understanding of the truth. Truth comes from the Lord's word and his the only way to his kingdom, I am here and will be here to serve only him by his grace.

Prayer:
Father, giver and healer. My strength and refugee whom I find my shelter in. Thank you for the salvation and sanctification. Thank you for the cross you carried to cleanse my sins. At times I feel I don't deserve you or your gifts and love. But I know this is manipulation of Satan.

I know you have ultimate say and know the truth and deliver accordingly. In the meantime Lord give our family strength to heal and forgive and still strongly seek and love you.

Scripture:
2 Thessalonians 1:3 "We ought always to give thanks to God for you, brethren, as is only fitting, because your faith is greatly enlarged, and the love of each one of you toward one another grows ever greater"
Observation:
I take so much blessing Lord give for granted. I can get envious of those who have more and even for Lord to bless the ones who shouldn't. But that is not my call. Every small and largest blessing should be taken with great respect. Anything he gives today can be taken away. Lord is fair God and he will bless and give accordingly, as to how much we can take and utilize fruitfully. Greed is no where near to God. Greed will only lead to destruction. I look at others who are unfortunate then me, wonder how could God bless me with so much. For the sinner and the individual that I am how can he bless me so much with his gifts and bare so much love for me? I realized that just having a family who love me, and having a roof over my head is such a gift that we should thank God everyday. There are natural disasters in East, where people are house less and live in horrific environment but yet they do not blame or mock God for what they have gone. I wonder how small person can I be to be complaining when I got more then I have. Blessing of his gift can be materialistic things, but more then that it is his love and salvation he has given me.
Application:
Give God thanks for even the smallest things in life, taking granted for being able to wake up tomorrow and live my normal routines is such a blessing. But we do not think about that as we go through our days. God's gift is not only monetary value, but unconditional love he shower me with and peace of mind he gives, that is the greatest gift that God has ever given. I shall thank for the smallest things in life, and let my heart be not greedy but grateful all the fruit and seeds he has planted in me to make his servant.
Prayer:
Amazing generous God, I thank you for so many things and everything in my life. You are molding me into beautiful servant, that is more blessing and greatness that I can ask. Father, you are giver, and you give accordingly, and one day you can give in abundance but you make those disappear. Father God, you have continually, consistently blessed me and my family. Not only with roof over our head but sanity of our faith, through much family feud and struggles with aunts and uncles. Father continue to keep our sanity, and through this times, help us to continue to seek you and give thanks. For you will never abandon us but shield us in all circumstance and provide accordingly. Father thank you for your love, for saving me, and giving me smallest gifts which I take for granted. Father you are amazing and you are awesome God. Continue to heal and mold my heart and to be a faithful servant who bring much glory and praise to your kingdom. Amen.

Scripture:
1 Thessalonians 4: 6 "and that no man transgress and defraud his brother in the matter because the Lord is the avenger in all these things, just as we also told you before and solemnly warned you."
Observation:
It's such a relief to read and meditate on words that assures and guide me how I am being love and should love. Lord has chosen to love me unconditionally despite my faults and he has forgiven me of my filthy sins. In exchange Lord want us to love one another and I should not fault others and forgive those who faulted me. But for the past year or so, it has been big challenge, and so difficult to forgive those who have hurt me and my family in so many levels. I think it is because those who hurt me and my family are the closest to you. When they say they are men of faith and woman of faith, yet they have done so much to wreck a family and bring so much pain to those surrounding it. It has been enduring to my heart of our Lord's word. To not to become in the same playing field as they do. What attacks may come in my and family way, he will shield with his angels from heaven and protect me and my family. The pain is temporary to the eternal life me and my family have for living in his direction and serving his words faithfully. Lord is our ultimate judge, he will not be kind to those who does not abide by his words. He has warn multiple ways, and me and my family have come to consensus our energy seem to spent else where, in Lord's word versus wasting our energy on something that is so pity and unrealistic. Ignorance and stupidity is not an excuse when you are confront by our Father God.
Application:
No matter the degree of attacks and pain that may come in my ways, life is all about learning from our stumbles and obstacle which our Lord has given us. To become a faithful servant despite of all this troubles. Hence, continue to pray for those who are in pain and need to find the will to hurt others. Whom they blaspheme that they are men and woman of Christ, as this is hypocrisy and upset to our Lord. Continue to pray for them, and continue to love their false and good. Absorb my energy in God's world versus in their world. For answers are written for me as to overcoming of such circumstances that may consume my energy.
Prayer:
Father Mighty God, healer of all pains. God who love those who hurt you and disregard you at times. You continue to love me unconditional, providing so much of blessing in life and abundance that I take for granted. Father, teach me and my family to be servant of your words. Be a faithful servant who serve you in the direction you have plan for us. Father let our actions and words bring much joy and praise to your kingdom. Father, continue to mold and stir our heart. Give us new and clean new heart. Father our family is going through ordeal, where aunts and uncles are casted by wealth and money, that they are done so much and so many ways to hurt my family. Father, give me and my family the heart to forgive them, and love them and their kids for all the pain and suffering they have brought. Father, you commended we shall love unconditionally, Father give us strength to do so, and also through this that we never forget you, and we continue to put you as our priority for you have given so much in our live.

Scripture:

Observation:
God speaks to his disciples the coming, during the wait for the coming the challenges and as true servant what shall be done to deserve and be accepted. As he describes, the world we live in is filled with challenges, life is not full of bliss but bumps which we need to endure. During this trails of waiting phase where our lives will continuously be fought with Satan work, we cannot love our heart, and our love for God. All the struggles and pains will at the end be rewarded. The ultimate reward, to step into his kingdom where there will be no more pain and no more fear.
Like yesterday, I was astonished by what I had found out about one person I thought I was very close to. It was intentional but I and found some interesting e-mails and photos which I would have never guessed. To make the situation worst, I felt betrayed but him, carrying out an intimate relationship with other women and sharing photos of each others, during the time when he was supposedly with me. To find out that what was being said to me was being said to those woman. Since that incident, I have feelings of disgust and sickness in my stomach. Also, confusion has to why would anyone play this game of portraying yourself as one person yet you are not.
Despite all this eventful day, I cannot lose my heart and let it be filled with anger. Have allow it to heal and let God stir my heart and endure through all his coaching in life.
Application:
Endure the pain and struggle, as this struggles are very minuscule to what our Savior has gone through to save and wash out black sins. Despite all the troubles and pain in life, let my heart be renewed and healed, as this are part of his plan for grandeur plan. God has might plan for all of us, which is eternity with him in his kingdom, he will do whatever way he can to get us there. But it is up to me to realized and not lose my faith through all the Satan's work to ruin the goods and bring the sorrow and pain in ones life. As this are temporary and nothing compare to what will be waiting for us in his Kingdom.
Prayer:
Our amazing Father God, thank you for this day of reunion of our two CG leader Judy and John. Two servants who reunite to serve and work your miracles. Father God, I thank you for the realization and teachings you bring to my life. You have shown so many signs and yet I was too blind to know, but you have shown what you want for me. Father God, I pray I stay strong to endure and overcome this phase. Father you are magnificent God, Father help me to be more faithful servant of you, that my actions and words bring much glory in your kingdom. Father heal my heart and cleanse my heart to be renewed and mold into the person you have planned out to be. Father through the pain and sorrow, I know you feel the same pain and kindly touch my heart and me to heal me and make me strong. Lord thank you for the greatest abundance of blessing we take for granted daily, and the unconditional love you have poured and share with me. Father you are my love and I love you for all your gracious teaching and gift. In your glorious name I pray Amen!

5/6/2011 - LJ "Hypocrite Christanity"
Scripture:
Matthews 23: 27-28 "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs which on the outside appear beautiful, but inside they are full of dead men's bones and all uncleanness. So you, too, outwardly appear righteous to men, but inwardly you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness. "
Observation:
God speaks to the Pharisees and to the people what is like to be a hypocrites. Living a life of hypocrisy and unrighteousness. He speak of how one's deepest understanding, the where the heart's desire lies is more valuable then words. Words can be meaningless, we say to please and we say things to avoid conflicts. Yet, if your heart is not in an agreement with your words, how hypocrite are you? The image of beauty and innocence can only go so far, if your heart is at a wrongful places in then outer appearance does hold any value. I should know as I have relatives who fall under this hypocrite life style. Where do I fit into all this picture? I may want to and does appear nice and Christ orientated, but do I put into actions and does my deepest heart reflect that? My heart will lead me from the darkness and efforts to live a lawful life within God's law. As the scripture, if I don't believe from deepest of my heart, then anything I may say and do is Godless life.
Application:
Render my heart to God, ask him to cleanse my heart from the deepest and the darkness. Mold my heart in his image. Let him rein on me for I shall surrender to him to mold into the faithful servant and let God move and lead me into the directions and plan he has for me. Let my heart be taken in possession of God's will.
Prayer:
Magnificent Father God, thank you for your words, your honest and sincere words that bring peace and joy into my life. Father God, help me and give me the guidance to apply and live in the direction you have plan for me. Help me to walk in the path you have planned out for me. Father God, take possession of my heart, and mold in the way that my darkness will be washed and over power by your presence and love. Cleanse my heart that I may slowly live in faithful and righteous way, a life in your laws. Father God, thank you for all the blessing you have provided for me and my family and the unconditional love you have for us. You are such a great and big, you cannot contained in small box your love overwhelms and overpowers us.

5/5/2011 - LJ "Cry out to the LORD"
Scripture:
Psalm 20: 1-2 "May the Lord answer you in the day of trouble! May the name of the God of Jacob set you securely on high! May He send you help from the sanctuary And support you from Zion!
Observation:
There so so many people who doubt teachings from Jesus himself. They have questioned and hated all his disciples. But He was able to call out to his Father for forgiveness of those who are doubtful of him, and to lift up those trouble souls. Just like when I am troubled with things around me, family or personal why do I doubt that God has plans within the troubles I go through. He answers my trouble by teaching and guiding me to over come from the troubles I go through. Like family struggle with my aunts and cousins against my parents, He hasn't given up because my parents are at peace, they tried to amend the relationship and problem, but if my aunt and cousin cannot see that and are filled with greed in their heart, He will provide my parents with much blessing and He will ultimately judge the greed of their actions and words.
Application:
His disciples had so much love for him, and desire for him. Where is my love and desire for God? It seems like my feeling are occasional when I am more troubled, I listen and talk to God more then when things go well. But where is the balance in that? Talk to God for the goods and blessings and along with troubles I face, God is jealous God, he wants us all for himself at all times. He will reward and uplift me high from the troubles and will bring much more blessing on top of what I have already. Love him for goods and the bad in life, for my ultimate goal is to get closer to that path of his kingdom. To do so, I cannot be occasional God seeker.
Prayer:
Father God forgive me for I have sinned. For a sinner you have blessed me much, abundance in my life and your unconditional love. Father God, help and teach me to like your faithful servant, who priorities you for the goods and the bad. Lord you know the past, present and future, you bring much bumps in my life to make me a stronger and faithful servant, Father I want to succeed in your teaching, help me to succeed by speaking through your words. Father God, I know you are the ultimate judge, Father help me and my family not to fail that test. Guide us to mold our hearts with new heart of cleanness. Stir our hearts to forgive and love those who have brought much pain and suffering. But Father our suffering is so minimal in comparison to the heavy cross you carried and nails on your hands and feet to be hung to wash our filthy sins away. Father thank you, thank you for your mercy and your love upon me and my family. Father I ask you will guide us to be faithful servant that our actions and words in this words bring praise to your kingdom. Thank you for your protection and your strength to keep me and my family going everyday. Father I love you, and let our love for you grow daily. In your holy name Amen!

4/30/2011 - LJ "How full is your cup of faith?"
Scripture:
Matthews: 17: 20 "And He said to them, 'Because of the littleness of your faith; for truly I say to you, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, Move from here to there, and it will move; and nothing will be impossible to you.'"
Observation:
So many non believe came to Jesus for healing. Many of his disciples were unable to do so. The greatest disciples John was killed for his faithfulness to Jesus. But God will reward those who believe in abundance. The power of having faith is great and determines how great you are and in your walk with God. Jesus has faith in his Father and even to the cross he praised his Father.
Application:
If I was chosen and save by sacrifice of God's only son, my faith is so small compare to disciple John and Jesus himself. I have circumstance where my faith in God is the most critical part, yet I doubt sometimes if this is what the will of God is. Maybe that is why, it seems like the circumstance is never improving because my pea size faith I have in God.
Prayer:
Father, you put in this earth in this flesh with this mind and heart to do your will. Father help me to know and recognize the greatness of your faith. Father after all the blessing and love you have shown and shower me with, still lacks my faith in you. Faith is not measure by how much you have given but for the glory of joy of loving you should be the factor of my growth in faith. Father help me to put you as my priority and love you more then anything in this world for you have shower me with unconditional love no matter who I am what I have done. Father thank you for loving me and washing my sins through sacrifice of your son in the cross. Father God you are so big and amazing, that it is hard to contain you in a small box that I can carry as daily reminder, but your presence around me every second, Father open my heart to your words and your will, let me actions speak louder than words of my willingness to grow as your faithful servant. Father I thank you and I love you, in your name amen!

Scripture:
Psalm 139: 23 - 24 "Search me, O God, and know my heart; Try me and know my anxious thoughts; And see if there be any hurtful way in me; And lead me in the everlasting ways."
Observation:
For the reason we are chosen, he know us in and out. Lord knows us deep down and knows us well more then anyone. He created us to be holy in the image of himself. But my anxious thought and the anger in circumstance that cause anger or hate steps be further away from living the holiest life.
I struggle everyday with forgiving my aunts and cousin. For the manipulation of 1 individual for the sake of greed of wealth, that she would destroy family after family, yet playing the role of the innocent by stander. This get me extremely upset, and my mind boils with so much anger and hatred for her and her daughter who is just alike her mother. I realized that I let my anxious thoughts take over and the on going battle of forgiving and accept has lead to hatred and anger for her and her daughter. They are family, but it is difficult. Like the word say, I know this thoughts are the least righteous and far from be holy, and knowing that and not able or to have the will power to over come these feelings of hurt and anger and anxiety does affect me daily.
I get easier irritable with my parents, for suffering through that and yet just let the by gones be by gones. I want more stable punishment instantly, but with lack of power and money, they are unable to pursue anything further but just let them be as crazy and unreal as they can be. My mom is at the point, where she understand my aunts and her family little greed for money and a little lie has been exaggerated and outside of their control, that they have to continue on to pile lies after lies to sustain that image of innocence, but how far will that last? My hurtful heart tells me hopefully not to long, but my righteous heart tell me as long they want, for God will judge them for their actions and words.
Application:
Like my mom and parents, I need little faith and understanding. God is in control, and he will mold me for who I am. He will guide me to direction which he wishes me to follow but at times I will stumble and fail his test. Let me instinct over me, for God know the past, present and future, meaning he knows what I am thinking and will say, he suffers with me and he walks the road of recovery and forgiveness with me. Therefore, I shall clear my heart and head and work to cleanse and mold my heart to renew from this experiences.
Prayer:
Father God, you are such a beautiful and magnificent God. You are taken so much for granted. I thank you for your blessing of abundance and unconditional love for me and my family. Thank you for providing great unity amongst our family and keeping all of safe and healthy in locations we are. Father God, you are the future, present and past, you know my heart and minds more then anyone else. You know what I think and I will say, Father give me the courage to listen to your words in my daily life, that I will not let my anger and anxiety overwhelm me. I will learn to seek your words and live toward those goals. Father I struggle everyday, to forgive those who have hurt my family and I, but I know you are in control and you are the ultimate judge of all my actions and no one else. Lord God, let me actions and actions of my parents and sibling be holy and righteous and bring much glory to your kingdom, despite the struggles of pain we may go through, Father I know you will reward us and you will punish those who do not obey your directions.
