A blessing of a new day everyday!
I was reminded and convicted by a Zoom Joint Intercession with a man named Dan Hammer, he was encouraging the intercessor group that Jen and I are a part of from TFBC. He shared from the scripture 1 Timothy 2:1-8 we are to pray for those in authority so that we lead a tranquil and quiet life. I thought I walk all the time and pass many checkpoints of police officers because of Covid lockdown, I am now stopping at every check point and praying for all the men. I also have increased my prayers for both America and Philippines governments.
Under Attack :(
I hope you do the same and please pray for Jen and I, the church planting team has been under attack and one of my top leaders has walked away in offense, and another one of our disciples has left home and church to move in with her boyfriend.
Thank you for your prayers, on a more successful note we are seeing more people healed and saved on a daily basis. Here are a few stories from this past week.
Healings and Salvation of people!
Here are some pictures of non-believers praying for healing of each other. I really enjoy seeing the Lord use non-believers heal other non-believers. The one women Sally stomach was healed, the other Lady Ann her shoulder was healed. Then I gave them the gospel and both called upon the name of the Lord!
Sally healed from stomache
Now, Sally is praying for Ann's shoulder and it has healed!
Karens do exist here too! :)
The power of kindness and God's love is amazing. I have been walking past a row of small shops for over 18 months. These shops are run by people of another faith. Whenever I walk by I greet them in their language and by their faiths greeting. Last week I was walking by one of these shops and a Karen was yelling so loud at one of the young man that she drew a crowd!! I stepped in and began to pray..Karen quieted down and went in to finish her shopping I followed her inside calmed her down and prayed for her, then I went out and prayed for this young man of another faith. Yesterday I was walking by the same shop Amir called out to me and thanked me for what I had done, then took me into meet his girlfriend. After a short conversation they both called upon the name of the Lord..whoop whoop I thank God I am not the man I use to be!!!!Went for a walk to my sons school..about a 5 mile walk..6 people were healed of pain and suffering...12-15 born again...I love to exercise!!!

Broken Heart
– a state of deep sadness or depression. The most apparent trigger can be a death of a loved one, divorce, or a long-term relationship suddenly ended. A broken heart may also be caused by the abandonment or betrayal of someone you trusted, such as a parent, spouse, or children. It means a loss of companionship, physical independence, financial independence, fitness, mobility, a sense of purpose in life, and even life itself.
This could have happened to you or anyone you care for, but whatever the case may be – LIFE HAS CHANGED - “Normal” has changed...forever.
You are physically, mentally, and emotionally drained. You are exhausted, depleted, and hopeless. - That is a BROKEN HEART!
Remember that God cares for those who are experiencing emotional pain, relationship breakups, and other forms of severe grief. Isaiah 61:1 and Luke 4:18 says that the Jesus Christ was sent to restore the brokenhearted. Psalm 147:3 writes this encouraging description of God: “He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds”.
My Journey from Broken to Whole…
1. I asked God, “Why, God?”; “Do you see all my tears that I shed?”; “Do you feel how I feel?”
2. I avoid overthinking
3. I made a decision to move forward
4. I prayed
5. I soaked my mind with scriptures
6. I reflected on the promises of God
7. I discovered my purpose in life
8. I believed that “the best is yet to come”

BEWARE and BE AWARE...
Most of the time we want great things for people and it can be tempting to influence kindness in order to get something from them…but that is not LOVING someone – that’s manipulation and may eventually lead to spiritual abuse if we are not aware of it.
Spiritual abuse occurs when someone uses their religious beliefs and influence to intimidate others into doing actions and making decisions which are of personal and selfish interests of the abuser. It is when someone uses spiritual authority or religious belief to humiliate, intimidate, manipulate, influence, or exploit others.
People are to be genuinely loved and cared for, not because we need something FROM them but because we want great things FOR them.
Matthew 20:20-28 Jesus warns his disciples against proud, arrogant, self-centered leadership that reflects more of the world’s “lording it over” than of the Lord’s servant leadership.
1 Peter 5:1-6 Peter exhorts elders to be shepherds of the flock, to eagerly serve, not lording it over, but being examples.
