supernatural reality

i don't wanna read nor listen about it anymore. studying it isn't even enough. I WANT THAT SUPERNATURAL, KINGDOM REALITY NOW! lately the Lord's been stirring up a hunger to go out and bring His Kingdom into the streets. there's a thirst to see what's been written and preached by other ministries about what God is doing in their midst. healings break out, supernatural happenings and a greater measure of power in their meetings.

what is the prerequisite then? is it more intimacy with God? kairos moments? more prayer and intercession? Lord, what is it then? there must be more than this. i really want to see a change come into my nation more than anything. what kind of change? righteousness in the government, real grassroots poverty alleviation programs that will really help the masses, and more opportunities for those who have been marginalized. i want people to know Jesus. we were discussing last friday before cell group that God promised that if we lift Jesus He will draw all men to Him. that's the answer to calling out the multitudes. only when we allow Jesus to be lifted high in our hearts and lives, churches, cities and nation will the multitudes come.

yep, the solution is not political, economic nor more education. rizal wrote and prescribed that over a century ago but the philippines is still the same. it's JESUS this nation needs. we need a Jesus Revolution. i'm just waiting out for the blueprints and practical solutions on how to do it. the solution is already plain but the ways have yet to be defined. hmm...i guess finishing my thesis is one step. hahahahaha Jesus and finishing my thesis are my priorities in this season. hehe nangatawa ra ba silang happy and mitzil ani when they saw it on my phone. :-) ako sad i realized how amusing but oh so true it was. i must focus on what God wants me to do at this time.

This was a verse which kept coming back and i had to ask happy where it was found...voila! Acts.

For David, after he had served the purpose of God in his own generation, fell asleep, and was laid among his fathers and underwent decay...acts 13:36

Find out what God is doing in your generation and put your whole life into it. - Lou Engle

oh happy day!!

i woke up hearing the chirping of the birds and joy just flowed inside of me! thank You Jesus! it's been days since i last saw the bright, sun-shiny clouds and heard the laughter of the birds. hahaha! we had almost a week of cold, dreary summer days because of the tropical depression last week. it's such a beautiful day! God is good!

cute artwork from a site i stumbled into. you can enjoy more of this stuff at vikram madan's site.

get up and live it out!

Get up, cry out in the night, even as the night begins.
Pour out your heart like water in prayer to the Lord.
Lift up your hands in prayer to him for the life of your children
who are fainting with hunger on every street corner.
Lamentations 2:19 (New Century Version)

while reading another passage in lamentations, the Lord turned my attention to this verse and it seemed as if leaped out of the page and spoke to me. here is one answered prayer! reading the articles written by the guys at Jesus Culture and by Bill Johnson created an impartation in the spirit about being sensitive to Kingdom realities and how it has to invade our reality. for a time now i've been wondering (not really directly asking the Lord) and somehow asking Him though not violently for solutions to poverty and hunger not only in the philippines but for the nations especially after reading jeffrey sachs' "the end of poverty".

finishing the book left me with a burning desire to come across a work by a child of God who has accessed the throne room of God for His blueprints and solutions to world hunger and poverty. bill johnson said that the world system's solutions to world's problems are only temporal and that there is a greater solution to that that can be accessed from a higher reality: the spiritual realm.

more of God in my life and more of Him in my generation especially in my nation's government! today has been quite an "impossible" day, so to speak. the articles in the Jesus Culture website and in bill johnson's gives the reader a hunger to experience what they've been seeing and doing. what is impossible to the human mind is actually possible to God. with Him, the word impossible is nothing. Lord, if You can do it there, why not here in the philippines as You have already promised to do? i don't want to just read about it. i want to live it and see it!

yesterday, God said that there was going to be an acceleration in the spirit in my personal life and i thought that He meant months instead of years. what i didn't quite expect was for it to happen in days' time rather than months. it is amazing to see the Word of God literally come into reality just like the Word was made flesh in the past. ephesians 3:20 is one example of that becoming real. "Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us."

may the eyes of our hearts be opened to see what's up there and what the Father is doing just like what Jesus did when He walked on earth. in God's Kingdom, miracles, signs and wonders are daily realities...let that happen here in the Philippines as it is in heaven just like You instructed us to pray.

habakkuk 2:2-3

reading through the articles in Jesus Culture brought me to a divinely appointed one: Kris Valloton's Power of a Vision. he writes that it is important for God's children to know their God-given vision, write them down (habakkuk 2), set goals, and let their steps follow that plan of action. one particular thing struck me in what he wrote - "vision gives pain perspective." it is vision that will enable us to make the sacrifices and the "going-through" bearable and makes us hold on. he writes at the end that we must ask ourselves at the end of the day if our steps have followed the plan for our vision to come to pass or do two things: rethink that plan or re-direct our steps.

God told me, i think, two weeks ago, about asking myself if the day-to-day decisions, choices, words, actions and people i have done and met have made me one step closer to my destiny because if they aren't then they are just what we would call distractions and time-wasters and must be discarded. commitment means having a knife [or perhaps an ax] to cut away all those fat we don't really need for our walk with Jesus and fulfilling His purpose in our generation.

lou engle once said: "Find out what God is doing in your generation and put your whole life into it."

there just seems to be a lot of realignment and puzzle-piece-fitting these days and shaking and sifting going on these days for them to be random coincidences. God is on the move and i wanna ride that wave with Him.

habakkuk 2:2-3 - "The Lord answered me: Write down the vision; write it clearly on clay tablets so whoever reads it can run to tell others. v.3 It is not yet time for the message to come true, but that time is coming soon; the message will come true. It may seem like a long time, but be patient and wait for it, because it will surely come; it will not be delayed."

JESUS. righteousness and justice. social change.
poverty reduction or the end of poverty.
