Strength in Numbers

       The LORD Jesus Christ, so full of love, mercy and grace to pull me away from the miry pit I was in. He has directed me to meet people who has the same zeal for Christ(Matt 18:20, Hebrews 10:25).

       Blessed with Christ-minded friends, it was a dewy afternoon meeting with my brothers-in-Christ: Allon and Peter. While having our VG group at J.co UPTC, a lady in need approached us pleading to buy 3 of her pens for 100php. I am humbled by the LORD how he leads the needy to Him. I politely asked her if I can test the pens on my journal — scribbling as a souvenir.

         I am thankful for to share the blessings the Lord Jesus Christ has blessed me with. 

       She beamed a bright smile while being thankful, she shared that she was a part of a denomination, a sect that I am not familiar with. The Holy Spirit spoke, "it is refreshing to hear, but our priority should be following the LORD Jesus Christ alone and not the 'church'(rough translation from Filipino to English)". I pray that she accepts this not only by hearing but by heart, that the LORD may use her for His namesake. She then parted ways.

        The church MAY lead us to the way but it is not the way, LORD Jesus Christ is the way.

       A day full of prayer, VG group, hitting the gym, having a savoury meal, positive quirks and a Christ-filled day, the LORD and His joy is with us.

       Coming to another level of realization how powerful it is to pray together, I thank you LORD Jesus Christ. May Your name be glorified.

 LORD, I thank you for the provision. You never lack.  I am the one who steered away from you and I only went back to you when I needed you the most. I have been complaining for the physical pains I have experienced for the past months foolishly fulfilling my own desires and going through my way. The bigger cancer was ignored, the cancer in my spirit. Thank you for your mercy that I am still here typing this. Help me endure Father God.  Today, I had gone out with my friend in gaming, David P. We went out to UP oblation only to see that it was closed. We sat nearby an available bench, a bit isolated. He was downcast due to his recent breakup. I did not know how to to open up but the LORD knew. The gospel was given to one of the closest person I have been close with ever since we have met (04/07/2025). There were some questions that was answered that I MYSELF cannot even answer unless the power of the LORD intervened. Have mercy on this lost soul Father God.

James 1:8

Living through the life God has given me, I always pondered why I exist. Strolling through the days and pondering about my past, I thought to myself, I am a useless servant living in sin, living by the desires of the world. The perfect candidate who broke the God's  laws resulting in the destruction of my soul when I should be the one who deserves to be laid on the cross of Christ. Worthy to be condemned to eternal death when death itself is looming around the corner. Separated by Christ, I fear the inevitable moment that I have to take into account for what I have done. Mercy is the only action that I plead. To pray for strength and to lead me away from my hypocrisy. Every moment we make, every path we take, the very breath of life the LORD gave us, only for me to waste it for our own selfish desires. For the every moment that we sinned and every moment that was entrusted to us would have eternal consequences.  And yet here I am. The strength that Jesus gave  me fingers ...

Conviction Over Contradiction

Asking the LORD for wisdom and guidance through my journey of uncertainty, seeking direction on my next step, knocking on people's minds, how they know the LORD, I pondered. "Am I a part of His church?" The times when the Holy Spirit clearly tells me what to do. Finding every stepping stone that has been laid for me, yet I chose not to stride forward, a LORD who answers every question I have asked, yet I kept Him shut. Sleeplessness nights knowing I have sinned against Him. A sin worse than a non-believer despite knowing what to say but chose not to due to cowardice and narcissism. And then, reality hit me.  After a 5 year hiatus, I decided to login to an old messaging app I used to frequent in. Connecting with gamers who do not know the LORD. A place where crude humor runs rampant, breakless vessels running at a speed of light and wickedness, a place where the devil flourishes and a killswitch centimeters away. A former friend of mine from Finland, who is a year younger ...
