"Businessman dies in 5km PAssion Run event" with pic

I feel saddened for what I've read in the news today.
This man who collapsed last Saturday at 5km 100Plus PassionRun did not make it.

My prayer goes out to the family, friends and relatives ...Jesus please comfort them all.:(

According to his family, he is a very health conscious guy, he runs on weekdays and weekend to keep himself fit. He follows a strict diet too..that's why when this thing happened..everyone was shocked of his death.

Heard this story before? I did a lot of times.

I even heard news of some lady here in Singapore who was happily jogging her way home but suddenly dropped dead because some big tree fell down on her.

On this kind of death, I know, there will be so many, "Whys" "How comes" "What happened?" etc.

Some people would say, "that's life! We all have our own timings.." (which I firmly reject!)

Others who are struggling to accept this fate would say, "God allows this to happen for a reason." (I thought for some time God is the culprit but I was wrong.)

In this world, death is inevitible. You don't know when it will strike you . It doesn't choose who or what you are, if you're a multi-millionaire , famous, health buff or cancer-stricken.

It has many ways of killing you.  His ways are "voluntary" which occur in your mind (suicide), accidents, natural disasters, murder, deadly diseases like HIV, existing sickness and many more!

The world fears death... I used to fear it too.

But now everything has changed.

...because Jesus has lead me to the truth about death.

Jesus doesn't want us to die, that's why at the cross,  He died for us.
He has redeemed us with His precious blood so we can live FOREVER!!

This truth is a free gift...which everyone can believe and then enjoy!

I cannot tell you everything about LIFE or death on this thread for it is endless.

And I am not smart enough to give you theories or scientific studies as reference.
I suggest for now, you google it.

We all know death is hurting, It gives you alot of reason to cry, be frustrated, depressed and lonely. To sum it all up...losing someone you love is no joke! That's why I abhor death!

Now, there is just one thing that I should tell you.

The truth that I know is in my heart, and unfortunately I can only share it with you one day at a time...

or one blog at a time.

If somehow you happen to drop by here and you're a free thinker or nonbeliever...
I do not ask you to believe.. I know you have your own reasons why. And I respect that.

I can only tell you one thing though just one time...
close your eyes, and say "God whoever you are, please lead me to you. I don't want death to be around in me and my loved ones anymore. I want LIFE! Please lead me to an abundantly life!"


"The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly!"


JESUS
John 10:10

"Businessman dies in 5km PAssion Run event"

Before you die, do this.

Ok. so you are a hardcore atheist or a person who believes is a freethinker
or whatever.

One day, you are about to experience something totally different or awesome.
That is maybe, you're about to die.

Hold for one moment.
And I want you to do this before you're about to lose your last moment here
on earth.

Yes!
I know, you don't believe in God and Jesus doesn't exist.
Are you happy now?

Say that again.

ok.

When you're in a situation where death is right in front of your face
like when you are falling from a cliff or like the 911 building and you
scream at the top of your soul " aaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

instead of sreaming "ahhhhhhhhhh!

just say , "JESUS"...instead.

Yep. Just one word.

and thats it.

At least you give Jesus a chance to be in your life, right?

And then hooh boy you are saved!

Hey no one has gone to heaven yet. so who knows what will really
happen in the afterlife, right?
(I tell you, I still have lots of questions running around in my head
but I still chose to believe.)


This way, you won't feel regrets or shame anymore for believing
thereafter because you'll be dead anyway.
hahah!

alright!

Thats me.

I want everything in my life to be insured before I go away,

of course, that includes my soul.

If you're gona listen to me. Thank you.

Remember me , will yah?

let me share with you some thoughts I've read from my facebook
before you can go back living to your what you call is
a "normal" or "extra-ordinary" life..

Now you are free to post some of your rants on this thread.
I know you'll say Christian sucks! Jesus is like this and that..
blah blah blah.

Heyyy I know you're smart and high-spirited IQ. The world knows that.
So no worries. I will respect you.

Feel free to read the message below and have a good day. :)

Enjoy!

Don't Stop Praying

And Jesus said to him, "Assuredly, I say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise."
—Luke 23:43

When Jesus was on the cross, one of the men being crucified next to Him came to his senses and said, "Lord, remember me when You come into Your kingdom" (Luke 23:42).

So Jesus said, "Assuredly, I say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise" (verse 43). You might describe what happened to this man as a deathbed conversion. And this gives a measure of hope to those who maybe have given up on certain people who have no need for God—or at least think they have no need for God. Don't stop praying for them. Because I have heard glorious stories of people coming to Christ right before their deaths. My own mother did not really come to Christ until about a month before she went to heaven, and I had prayed for her throughout my life as a Christian. Maybe you feel right now that someone you know never will come around. But they may.

Or sometimes we fear that certain people who have died are in hell right now. But we are not in a position to say who is in hell. I do think I can authoritatively say who is in heaven, because if a person has put his or her faith in Christ, the Bible assures us that this person is in heaven. But unless you were with someone when they passed into eternity, you don't know what happened. It is possible that someone you shared the gospel with, someone you told about Jesus, perhaps put their faith in Christ in the last few moments of their life. And you might be surprised to see them in glory some day.

I think there will be some surprises when we get to heaven. So don't give up on the people you are praying for.

THE (SCIENTIFIC) DEATH OF JESUS

For the next 60 seconds, set aside what ever you're doing and take this opportunity! Let's see if Satan can stop this.

THE (SCIENTIFIC) DEATH OF JESUS



At the age of 33, Jesus was condemned to the death penalty.



At the time crucifixion was the "worst" death. Only the worst criminals condemned to be crucified. Yet it was even more dreadful for Jesus, unlike other criminals condemned to death by crucifixion Jesus was to be nailed to the cross by His hands and feet.


Each nail was 6 to 8 inches long.



The nails were driven into His wrist. Not into His palms as is commonly portrayed. There's a tendon in the wrist that extends to the shoulder. The Roman guards knew that when the nails were being hammered into the wrist that tendon would tear and break, forcing Jesus to use His back muscles to support himself so that He could breath.



Both of His feet were nailed together. Thus He was forced to support Himself on the single nail that impaled His feet to the cross.. Jesus could not support himself with His legs because of the pain so He was forced to alternate between arching His back then using his legs just to continue to breath. Imagine the struggle, the pain, the suffering, the courage.


Jesus endured this reality for over 3 hours.

Yes, over 3 hours! Can you imagine this kind of suffering? A few minutes before He died, Jesus stopped bleeding.

He was simply pouring water from his wounds.


From common images we see wounds to His hands and feet and even the spear wound to His side.. But do we realize His wounds were actually made in his body. A hammer driving large nails through the wrist, the feet overlapped and an even large nail hammered through the arches, then a Roman guard piercing His side with a spear. But before the nails and the spear Jesus was whipped and beaten. The whipping was so severe that it tore the flesh from His body. The beating so horrific that His face was torn and his beard ripped from His face. The crown of thorns cut deeply into His scalp. Most men would not have survived this torture.


He had no more blood to bleed out, only water poured from His wounds.
The human adult body contains about 3.5 litres (just less than a gallon) of blood.


Jesus poured all 3.5 litres of his blood; He had three nails hammered into his members; a crown of thorns on his head and, beyond that, a Roman soldier who stabbed a spear into his chest.


All these without mentioning the humiliation He passed after carrying his own cross for almost 2 kilometers, while the crowd spat in his face and threw stones (the cross was almost 30 kg of weight, only for its higher part, where his hands were nailed).


Jesus had to endure this experience, so that you can have free access to God.
So that your sins could be "washed" away. All of them, with no exception! Don't ignore this situation. JESUS CHRIST DIED FOR YOU! For you, who now read this e-mail. Do not believe that He only died for others (those who go to church or for pastors, bishops, etc).



He died for you! It is easy to pass jokes or foolish photos by e-mail, but when it comes to God, sometimes you feel ashamed to forward to others because you are worried of what they may think about you.



Accept the reality, the truth that JESUS IS THE ONLY SALVATION FOR THE WORLD..


God has plans for you, show all your friends what He experienced to save you. Now think about this! May God bless your life!


60 seconds with God...

For the next 60 seconds, set aside what you're doing and take this opportunity! Let's see if Satan can stop this.



All you have to do is:
1. Simply pray for the person who sent this message to you: Lord, you know the life of _________. I ask You to bless him/her in all things and make him/her prosperous. Take care of his/her family, his/her health, his/her work and all his/her future plans. Lead him/her not into temptation, but deliver him/her from evil. In Jesus' name, amen.
2.Then, send this message to 10 people.
3.10 people will pray for you and you will make that many people pray to God for other people.
4. Take a moment to appreciate the power of God in your life, for doing what pleases Him.
If you are not ashamed to do this, please, follow Jesus' instructions. He said (Matthew 10:32 & 33): "Everyone therefore who acknowledges me before others, I also will acknowledge before my Father in heaven; but whosoever denies me before others, I also will deny before my Father in heaven".
If you believe, send this message... But send it only if you believe in Christ Jesus as your Lord and Savior.
Yes, I love God. He is my source of life and my savior. He keeps me alive day and night.
Without Him, I am nothing, but with Him "I can do all things through Him who strengthens me". Philippians 4:13.

This is the simple proof. If you love God and you believe and trust in salvation through Christ Jesus, send this to all those you love.

Our Destiny...

This has been going on in my mind for quite awhile and didn't really had the chance to blog it.
I was waiting for a verse.
This morning God heard me. And here it goes.

I saw some photos of what happened to one of the cities in my country, The Philippines - The Maguindanao Massacre and felt blank and empty looking at the gruesome pictures. Yeah. It was the deadliest massacre ever!

When I wasn't yet a Christian and never found out
the TRUTH about life probably I would react negatively towards the killers and ask God why this has happened. Not adding to the fact that I've already read alot of this kind of reaction on twitter and facebook.

As I look and meditate through it all.
I've learnt that Death happens and strikes everywhere.

Yesterday, a friend told me she witnessed a 5yr old and a granny got hit by a car.

Last week, , an athlete-a rowing coach got drowned and died.

You see. Death indeed strikes everywhere, anywhere and to anyone!

There's death on the streets when one gets hit by a car, truck, get mobbed or simply hit by a lightning while walking.

There's death when there's a tsunami, earthquakes, or any other natural calamities.

There's death when you travel with a plane, ship, cars.

There's death when sleeping. I know some people who are healthy that unknowingly didn't even make it on the next day. Tsk!

And of course, there's death in sickness.

If you are observant enough.

Death is everywhere.

You cannot stop it.

These thoughts have prompted me to ask.

When one dies , what's next?

People of the world can investigate, mourn, ask a lot of whys and hope they can bring back the life.

Me ?

The only question that fills my mind
whenever I hear death is ,

"Is he/ she saved?"

I felt a little uncomfy about that thought.
But God backed it all out with this verse.

God's Message To You...

It's wonderful to start the week right with God's presence and loving words.
Good Monday morning everyone!
Be blessed for the whole week!

A perfect presentation of the gospel. Please share this with the world! For the deaf and hard of hearing and English second-language people: ask me for a transcript of this.

The Power Of Life and Death Is In Your Tongue

On the first part of this video, Michael Jackson promised his London fans

that the concert he's gonna have will be HIS LAST.

He even iterated it.

Indeed, what the Bible is saying on Proverbs 18:21 is true.

"The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit."

WATCH THE VIDEO HERE.

Michael Jackson Couldn't Sleep

Reading from the latest update of Michael Jackson's death

has given me a very grateful heart...

No, it's not because Michael died. . . it's something else.

Let me give you some snippets of the latest Michael Jackson's investigation

on his death.

"The powerful sedative Diprivan was found in Michael Jackson's home.

Diprivan is an anesthetic widely used in operating rooms to induce unconsciousness. Also known as Propofol, it's given intravenously and is very unusual to have in a private home.

Jackson was known to have suffered from severe insomnia. In the weeks before his death, Cherilyn Lee, a registered nurse who was working with the singer, said Jackson pleaded for Diprivan amid the stress of preparing for a massive series of comeback concerts.

Lee said she repeatedly rejected his demands because the drug was unsafe.

Told Friday that Diprivan had been found at Jackson's house, she said, "I did everything I could to warn him against it."

Jackson had trouble sleeping as far back as 1989, said one of his former publicists, Rob Goldstone, who spent a month on the road with Jackson during the "Bad" tour.

"He had very bad nightmares, he found it very difficult to sleep," Goldstone said.

Diprivan, which has a milky appearance, is sometimes nicknamed "milk of amnesia." Last fall, doctors from the Mayo Clinic warned at a conference that in rare cases, Diprivan can trigger an irreversible chain of events leading to heart dysfunction and death."

Reading from it all.

I can say that this doesn't happen to Michael Jackson alone.

It happens to everyone who doesn't want to look up

and just simply talk to God about their worries,problems, depressions and frustrations in life.

Instead, they look unto what their pockets could do and have..

as if they can just purchase LIFE in a drugstore anytime.

Yeah! Buy some drugs! (which is just temporary)

Michael Jackson has the millions. But he couldn't buy that sleep that

he's been longing for.

He has fame, but his fans and followers can only adore his name, twit about his songs

and get fascinated by his dance moves.

Maybe his family , friends or loved ones right now have thought of giving up his millions

or even fame just to bring his life back.

But it doesn't work that way.:(

I am just glad Jesus has found me and have turned series of events of the world

to know that really, nothing in this world can fill that void in one's heart.

Not drugs,alcohol,fame,party all the time, money or shopping.

And most of all,

no one can give me that deep, quality sleep which Michael Jackson is deprived of.

It's only Jesus!!!

Lemme say it again.. it's JESUUUUUS!!!

Thank you Jesuss!! Keep me and my loved ones in your heart forever!

Thank you for

Death Strikes Everywhere

Today, the world mourns for the death of Michael Jackson "MJ" and Farrah Fawcett (of Charle's Angel).

Few weeks ago, some families of the Air France Flight 447 mourned for the shocking lost of their loved ones.

Some deaths were taken by a landslide.

Business men in some parts of Asia and US committed suicide due to the effects of the current global recession on them.

Generally, people are more curious of what happened before the death occured.

Me? For now, I wana know what will happen or what comes next after death.


Questions starts to pop on my mind.

Wondering what's it really like to be on the other side.

Though there will always be smart, intelligent people around that will
try to talk you out of it. No one can really find a definite answer.

It will always boil down into asking back again to "What's the truth?"

What's with Death?

Well, no one can really explain on how is it to be there.

But one thing's for sure. I don't want to end up in hell!

Some people would say, hell does not exist. But shall I turn my trust in them?

Have they been thru hell that they can conclude just like that?

Well, the Bible says Jesus went through hell. He was actually there and have described it.

REad what Jesus has to say about hell"


Matthew 13:42: "And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth."


Matt 25:41: "Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels." This passage relates to Jesus' judgment of all the world.


Mark 9:43-48: And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched." The reference to fire is repeated three more times in the passage for emphasis.


Luke 16:24: "And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame." This is a plea described as coming from an inhabitant of Hell




There you go.

Whom shall I trust?

Whom shall I believe?

I have believed in men for so long that it really didn't do anything lasting in my life.
Everything were just temporary. Temporary securities, happiness and assurances.

For almost 3 years now, I have started to believe in Jesus...and all I can say is that
He has made me well!

He has healed , blessed and protected me soooooooo amazingly well!

So what do I need to do?


For now,
I wana make sure my soul is safe.


I am saved . I am protected. I am blessed!!!

and most of all,

I am redeemed by the blood of MJ....no , not Michael J. (the world's MJ)...My Jesus!!!


I can rest well on that FOREVER!


Thank you JESUS!

Goodbye Kiko!

I am deeply saddened of what happened to Francis M.
He is one great loss in the music/rap industry.:(

As I was browsing through the net, I found 2 of his multiply blogs.

He has been documenting his Chemotherapy treatment , procedures,
cycle, etc.

In there, I saw how he suffered undergoing such a very painful treatment.
He must be a very brave man.



Here's the link of his multiply blog

FrancisMagalona Multiply account 2

I couldn't imagine myself on that situation.
I hate needles, medicine and repetitive medications..

I am too weak for that.
I am just glad, Jesus is my healer.

Jesus has suffered enough for Him to
allow me to experience the same thing all over again.

"By Jesus stripes I am Healed!"


Yes, God is my refuge.
..from all the sickness, financial turmoils,frustrations and setbacks
that this world can offer.

I have no time to go to the doctor to confirm how weak I am.
I only have time to run to God and seek His healing,protection and love.

God's Words do not lie.

And I'm gona keep it no matter what.

For other things can fail me. Even doctors, medicines , financial consultants,friends
,partners.


But not God and Jesus.


"a thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee . . . For He shall give His angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways."

Psalm 91:5-11

Psalm 91- The Psalm of Protection

I always use these powerful verses in protecting me from any danger,harm and sicknesses.
If you believe, you can just memorize it ..say it when you feel you are about to get sick and sensing danger.

PSALM 91

1. Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High
will rest in the shadow of the Almighty

2. They say of the LORD, "He is my refuge and my fortress,
My God, in whom I trust.

3. Surely He will save you from the fowler's snare
and from the deadly pestilence.

4. He will cover you with His feathers, and under His wings you will find refuge.
His faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.

5. You will not fear the terror of night,
nor the arrow that flies by day.

6. Nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness,
nor the plague that destroys at midday.

7. A thousand may fall at your side,
ten thousand at your right hand,
but it will not come near you.

8. You will only observe with your eyes
and see the punishment of the wicked.

9. If you say, "The LORD is my refuge,"
and you make the Most High your dwelling.

10.No harm will overtake you,
no disaster will come near your tent.

11.For He will command His angels concerning you
to guard you in all your ways.

12.they will lift you up in their hands,
so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.

13.You will tread on the lion and the cobra;
you will trample the great lion and the serpent.

14."Because they love me," says the LORD,
"I will rescue them; I will protect them, for they acknowledge my name."

15.They will call on me, and I will answer them;
I will be with them in trouble,
I will deliver them and honor them.

16. With long life I will satisfy them and show them my salvation."

Near-death Experiences Case #5

Thomas Welch was required to walk across a trestle over a dam fifty-five feet above the water where the sawmill was located. He gives this account:

"I was dead as far as this world is concerned. But I was alivein another world. There was no lost time. I learned more in that hour out of the body than I could ever learn while in this body. All I could remember is falling over the edge of the trestle. The locomotive engineer watched me go all the way down into the water. The next thing I knew I was standing near a shoreline of this burning, turbulent, rolling mass of blue fire. As far as my eyes could see it was just the same, a lake of fire. There was nobody in it. I was not in it. I saw other people whom I had known that had died when I was thirteen. Another was a boy I had gone to school with who had died from cancer of the jaw that had started with an infected tooth while he was just a young lad. He was two years older than I. We recognized each other, even though we did not speak. They, too, were looking and seemed to be perplexed and in deep thought, as though they could not believe what they saw. Their expressions were those of bewilderment and confusion. The scene was so awesome that words simply fail. There is no way to escape, no way out. You don't even try to look for one. This is the prison out of which no one can escape except by Divine intervention. I said to myself in an audible voice, 'If I had known about this I would have done anything that was required of me to escape coming to a place like this.' But I had not known."

Near-death Experiences Case #3

As witnessed by Dr. Maurice Rawlings..

Several years ago a book was published, entitled Beyond Death's Door by Dr. Maurice Rawlings. Dr. Rawlings, a specialist in Internal Medicine and Cardiovascular Disease, resuscitated many people who had been clinically dead. Dr. Rawlings, a devout atheist, "considered all religion "hocus-pocus" and death nothing more than a painless extinction". But something happened in 1977 that brought a dramatic change in the life of Dr. Rawlings! He was resuscitating a man, terrified and screaming — descending down into the flames of hell:

"Each time he regained heartbeat and respiration, the patient screamed, "I am in hell!" He was terrified and pleaded with me to help him. I was scared to death. . . Then I noticed a genuinely alarmed look on his face. He had a terrified look worse than the expression seen in death! This patient had a grotesque grimace expressing sheer horror! His pupils were dilated, and he was perspiring and trembling — he looked as if his hair was "on end."
Then still another strange thing happened. He said,"Don't you understand? I am in hell. . . Don't let me go back to hell!" . . .the man was serious, and it finally occurred to me that he was indeed in trouble. He was in a panic like I had never seen before."
(Maurice Rawlings, Beyond Death's Door,(Thomas Nelson Inc., 1979) p. 3).

Dr. Rawlings said, no one, who could have heard his screams and saw the look of terror on his face could doubt for a single minute that he was actually in a place called Hell!
