39. Wala ka sa Lolo ko. Jesus is his Lord and Savior, God the Son, who said, “With man this is impossible, but not with God; all things are possible with God.”

The parting of the Red Sea.
Exodus 14
13 Moses answered the people, “Do not be afraid. Stand firm and you will see the deliverance the Lord will bring you today. The Egyptians you see today you will never see again. 
14 The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.”

The Almighty God is the God of the Impossible.

Here is reflection I had 9 August 2020.
______________________

“With man this is impossible, but not with God; all things are possible with God.” (Mark 10:27)

24 The disciples were amazed at his words. But Jesus said again, “Children, how hard it is to enter the kingdom of God! 
25 It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.”
26 The disciples were even more amazed, and said to each other, “Who then can be saved?”
27 Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but not with God; all things are possible with God.”

Hebrews 11
6 And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.
29 By faith the people passed through the Red Sea as on dry land; but when the Egyptians tried to do so, they were drowned.
30 By faith the walls of Jericho fell, after the army had marched around them for seven days.

Friend, are you disturbed for your family and our country with the covid situation? So much uncertainty, yet with certainty the Compassionate Lord is sovereign. Take heart, for the Lord is the God of the Impossible, and He will deliver us in a way we never imagine. Do you honestly believe that? Not in mind but in your heart? Then pause, let's pray together putting aside our worries and come to our God wholeheartedly and wait upon Him at His promise, with childlike faith that pleases our Heavenly Father. Amen.

Inviting you to listen to this, in the midst of really difficult times we are facing now.

The other day I posted this prayer request for a friend.
Yesterday, a sister in Christ posted this thanksgiving prayer in our Powerhouse chat group.

“My family would like to thank God our Great Healer and Provider, for the good results of CT Scan and laboratories of my sister after completing her cycle with chemotheraphy. Praise God, no need for operation per her Oncologist.
Salamat sa mga panalanging ng kapatiran sa PCF. 
Praise God for hearing our prayers for my sister. We are continually entrusting everything to God. Thank you Lord.”

Powerhouse. 


That's from Charles Spurgeon, known as the "Prince of Preachers".

When said thanksgiving prayer was posted, I had this rejoinder which I had just completed intended for this blog.
Then later what followed, word came that a brother of same sister in Christ just passed away.

I came, “Praying for you  and the family. The Holy Spirit bring comfort and strength. Amen.”



Only that we will experience the miracle of God when we face the worst.

The God of the Impossible hears the cry of the brokenhearted. You can take His word at that.

One day, my children's children will say, wala ka sa Lolo ko, Jesus is his Lord and Savior, God the Son who said, “With man this is impossible, but not with God; all things are possible with God.” Amen.

“Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.” (Ephesians 3:20-21)

May you be blessed with the message.

Maraming salamat.

102. Wala ka sa Lolo ko. The Lord has given him a crown.

25 January 2021 1 Timothy 5 4 But if a widow has children or grandchildren, these should learn first of all to put their religion into practice by caring for their own family and so repaying their parents and grandparents, for this is pleasing to God. Let me share my reflection 7 October 2017 which I have updated. "Grandchildren. Children’s children are a crown to the aged. (Proverbs 17:6) 1 Timothy 5 9 No widow may be put on the list of widows unless she is over sixty, has been faithful to her husband,  10 and is well known for her good deeds, such as bringing up children, showing hospitality, washing the feet of the Lord’s people, helping those in trouble and devoting herself to all kinds of good deeds. Let me make the connection between grandchildren and a widow. Marlou and I recently spent a weekend in Lipa to visit my mother-in-law. We went to Lipa New Hope Church for the Sunday worship service. From the back, I can see the petite figure of "Nanay" (...

119. Wala ka sa Lolo ko. For him, there is no righteousness apart from God in Jesus Christ.

28 February 2021 Photo by Shaun F from Pexels Your righteousness, God, reaches to the heavens, you who have done great things. Who is like you, God? (Psalm 71:19) 2 Peter 1 1 Simon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, To those who through the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ have received a faith as precious as ours: 2 Grace and peace be yours in abundance through the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord. The Apostle Peter. "Do you think that we are too tough on Peter for denying Christ? Note that after the Resurrection, Jesus told the women: "Go tell my disciples and Peter." Why "and Peter"? I see myself in Peter. I also see my neighbors and friends in him. Perhaps you see yourself in Peter as well. There's something of this man in us all, and the way God used him with his faults and failures gives me hope, for the God who changed his life is still in the business of changing people. As I think of Mr. Peter, I think o...

226. We will be blessed: The Lord washed our feet, we should wash one another's feet.

6 December 2021 You will be blessed. Deuteronomy 28 3 You will be blessed in the city and blessed in the country. 2 All these blessings will come on you and accompany you if you obey the Lord your God. John 13 17 Now that you know these things, you will be blessed if you do them. 14 Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another’s feet. Maundy Thursday. " Maundy (from Old French mandé, from Latin mandatum meaning "command"), or the Washing of the Feet, or Pedelavium, is a religious rite observed by various Christian denominations. This is also seen as referring to the commandment of Christ that believers should emulate his loving humility in the washing of the feet (John 13:14–17). The term mandatum (mandé, maundy), therefore, was applied to the rite of foot-washing on the Thursday preceding Easter Sunday, called Maundy Thursday. " From Wikipedia " As Jesus was t...
