See Your Enemies Flee Because Of Jesus

Yeah, And He who is in me is greater than he who is in the world. (1 John 4:4)
Ameeeeen!!!



See Your Enemies Flee Because Of Jesus


Deuteronomy 28:7
7“The Lord will cause your enemies who rise against you to be defeated before your face; they shall come out against you one way and flee before you seven ways.

Some people think that Jesus and the devil are always confronting and fighting each other. But when I read my Bible, I don’t see fights between the two. What I see is the devil having to flee whenever he encounters Jesus!

Consider the demoniac from the country of the Gadarenes in Luke 8:26–39. The demons in the man begged Jesus not to torment them or send them into the abyss, but to permit them to enter a herd of swine nearby.

You see, neither the devil nor his demons can stand before Jesus. They may be able to torment people for a while, but when Jesus comes on the scene, they know that that is the end of their stay. They will have to flee! All it took was just one word from Jesus, and the entire legion of demons had to come out of the man and flee into the swine.

As a child of God, you exude a spiritual fragrance which evil spirits can detect and which causes them to tremble. It is the life of Jesus inside you. And He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. (1 John 4:4) That is why no curse, spell, accusation, scandal or destruction planned against you can succeed. Your enemies may come against you one way, but the Lord will confuse them and cause them to flee before you seven ways!

Jesus paid with His life to give you this victory over your enemies. After His arrest in the garden of Gethsemane, the Jews and Gentiles were united for the first time with one common objective: Torture Jesus and have Him killed. King Herod of the Jews and Pontius Pilate of the Romans were long-time enemies, but because of Jesus, they became friends. (Luke 23:12)

My friend, Jesus’ enemies were united and had “victory” over Him. But because He triumphed over them through the cross and rose again, today, your enemies will be scattered and you will have victory over them!

Faith Like Potatoes

I just finished watching a very good movie - "FAITH LIKE POTATOES"

It's not the usual hollywood type of movie.

It's something new. And refreshing.

It's a movie I feel that God has created for us believers to

look deeper into ourselves and see where our faith have taken us

in this journey called LIFE.

Though some parts of the movie is a bit dragging, it really doesn't matter

and I don't care.

For it is still like being with God for a little while.

With visions of hopes and miracles.


Angus Buchan has expressed it so well ,

"“The condition for a miracle is difficulty, however the condition for a great miracle is not difficulty, but impossibility.” - Angus

Angus faith in God has melted my heart.

The miracle I felt in this movie has leveled up my Faith.

And yes, it's great to have faith like potatoes!

Hebrews 11:1 says, “Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not yet seen.


Read the full synopsis and the story of Angus Buchan here.

If you haven't watch it yet. I recommend you grab a copy now.

Lonesome...

I woke up feeling a little bit lonely today.

I miss my mama back in the Philippines.

I miss my loved one.

I'm alone in my room.

Sometimes, it gets a little creepy and feelings of boredom, redundancy,

daily routines just suck the life inside of me.

I was trying to feel His presence to take refuge from it all.

And He led me to listen to this sermon from Pastor Joseph Prince.

Wana hear it out loud with me?

John 17:15

Your Only Battle For Today Is The Fight To Remain At Rest

This is one of my fave sermons from Pastor Joseph Prince.

I have always wanted that "REST".

The rest from what's happening in this mad,fallen world.

The rest from all my failings, stress at work, problems at home,
fears and hopes.

Rest from what my mind is trying to feed me...bad, desperate and sad thoughts.

Silly and naughty thoughts.

I tried different ways of getting away from it all like
going somewhere for a vacation, read good books, watch a movie,
listen to good relaxing music

But still...

"rest" seemed so unattainable.


Now, that I have Jesus...

everything is sooooo different.

Without much effort, I can feel that I am enjoying that "rest" in Him.

Amazing!

I cannot explain it, but it's happening.

Maybe that's what I get from listening too much on this sermon.

I have listened to this for like more than 10x already.

And everytime it got into me, fresh revelations always come along with it.

Start by listening now, and you'll see what I mean.

Be Anxious For Nothing

I'm living this way.

I have stopped thinking about too much on myself
and have given it all up to Him.

Everything!

My plans...

my future...

my fears...


my dreams.

It's all in His hands now.

I may have my own plans, but still...

He has the last words.

For the moment, I may not like it. But it's ok.

In the end, I'm sure I will be praising Him more

for all the coming miracles that He will be giving to me.

Thank you Jesus!

In this world, I may have nothing...

But with you, I HAVE EVERYTHING!!

Be Anxious For Nothing


Philippians 4:6–7
6Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 7and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

When faced with a challenge or crisis, our tendency is to get all anxious about it. But God does not want us to react this way. He does not want us to be anxious about anything. Instead, whatever the problem is, He wants us to go to Him in prayer and supplication, telling Him what we need and thanking Him for the answer. When we do that, His peace, which surpasses all understanding, will guard our hearts and minds from all worries, anxieties and fears.

“Pastor Prince, it is easy for you to say, ‘Be anxious for nothing.’ Try living with my husband for one day. Try disciplining that wayward teenager of mine. Look at the balance in my bank account! How can I not be anxious?”

Hold it! I am not the one who said, “Be anxious for nothing.” The apostle Paul said it. Yet, it was not him — he was prompted by the Holy Spirit. And when Paul wrote that, he was a prisoner under house arrest in Rome. He had been sent to Rome because he had appealed to Caesar regarding his death sentence. The Jews in Jerusalem wanted him to be put to death. (Acts 28:16–20)

Yet, under those trying conditions, he wrote these words: “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.”

My friend, if you are anxious or worried about something, remember those words. Let’s say that you are anxious about a huge debt. Go to the Lord and pray, “Lord Jesus, I no longer want to be anxious about this problem. I hand it over to You and ask for supernatural cancellation of this debt. It is in Your care now. You are in charge. I thank You for taking care of it.”

God is true to His Word. As you pray this prayer and cast your care to Him, you will find His peace setting your heart and mind at rest. So be anxious for nothing — let the One with whom nothing is impossible take care of it for you!
