The power of God's word ( Positive thingking )
Dear everyone:
GREETINGS TO ALL!
I want you to know that God do really Love us all especially the lost people of this present age for Jesus says:"I came into this world not because of the righteous but for the sinners".. It is very clear that the purpose of Jesus Christ dying on the cross is to save us from the slavery of sin which will eventually lead us to frustration, despair, and miserable lives in this present age. The Bible says: "For you are not save by your own effort but because of my mercy that I have showned in you which leads you to salvation"..I always remember how I suffered from fear and worldliness. I always decided to change but I just can't do it. It is apparent that I was in chained by satan for the past 19 years from worldliness. I wanted to change but I can't, but I thanked God throught HIS Son Jesus Christ who set me free from all of those chains. So I am now a free man living in peace with God together with my wife and family. If it is not because of Jesus dying on the cross two thousand years ago, I am rather dead now or jailed or hospitalized but God said:"It is not you who choose me but I am the one who chosed you to be my child even before the world was made because I really love you no matter who or what you are".. I am presently encouraged to realized that there is a God who loves me and even died for me on the cross".. so, I wondered much about beautiful experienced knowing who God is?
But right after conversion, I noticed that the war is not over, there are still enemy forces at work in our bodies and that is the devil trying to bring you back on your old self for you not to change. Satan's purpose in this world is to destroy the peace God has given you for the bible says:"Satan came here to steal, kill and destroy humanity; Be vigilant for your enemy, satan is roaming around the world like a roaring lion looking for someone to devoir"..Be alert and on watch! Behold, God says: " No amount of weapon in this world can prosper against you if you hold on to the authority and teaching of God's word"..We need to read God's word in the bible to fight the evils of today. The word of God is very useful in inspiring, correcting & rebuking, therefore it judges the thoughts of man. No one can excape from God's word. We need to realized that satan's arrow is always aimed to confused our minds; to condemned us from our past sins and putting lies in our minds accusing us as not worthy and a failure no matter what we do but it is not true. God said in Jeremiah 29:11"My plans for you is not to harm you but to prosper you and give you hope and a future".. In other words, what satan is accusing you for nothing and therefore is a lie because once you received the lord in your life, you will see great and mighty things"..says the Lord. We need to be clever and alert always how we treat our lives cause satan will do everthing to tempt and confuse you so that you will maintain the idea that you are good for nothing but again, its a lie. We are the apple in the eye of God. God decided to die because He loves us and no matter what is happening to our lives today is irrelevant to what God has promise for those who love Him. The bible says:"No ear has heard, No eye has seen, Nor thoughts can ever imagine what God has preapred for those who loves HIM"..God will reveal His plans for us in His due time and everything will become perfect when that time comes. One way to fight satan is to read the bible often and attend small group in your church and be active in your ministry. Always have an accountability partner to check your loyalty to Christ and most of all apply the word of God in your life to empower it. You must also go on fasting at least once a week for your spiritual nourishment. Always remenber that a new born physical baby needs milk often to grow and you must also realized that right after accepting the Lord Jesus Christ in your life, you are now a spiritual babies who needs to grow.. So, how can you grow without reading the bible and attending small group often? just like the new born babies need frequent milk so do you also need frequent fellowship and reading the bible for you to grow and become strong.Another way for you to help grow and advance God's kingdom is to get away from every known sins such for instance a place where u used to drink beer or places where many temptations must be avoided. Let us exercise self discipline to empower the Holy spirit in our lives for we can never exercise Godliness if we aren't discipined. We should read the bible and hear God's word to stop entertaining the confusion of this present age because no matter what facts you are in today, God can change facts and realities. Just have faith and do good in everything then wait for the Lord to act. The only best way to win in life is to focus to the word of God which says that we are Victorious and that no one can stand in our way as long as we are walking in the truth of God's word that says:"We are more than conquerors in this world" Jesus said:" I have defeated the world and so you can in my Name".. Let us exercise always positive thingking and never allow negative thoughts to even bother a bit in our minds by always focusing on the promises of God based on Financial success, Victory over bad habits, How to conquer fear & How to recieved abundant Blessings throught Christ our Lord.
"Where the Spirit of the Lord is, There is FREEDOM"..

Why is it many of our prayers were not answered by God? How can you thank God if most of your prayers were unanwered? WHY??
Dear Everyone:
Hi! First of all, let me stretch out to you why can't you have what you are praying to God. Is God listening to us? But one of you may say that God answers prayers for anyone who ask HIM. But how comes you don't have what you prayed for? How comes most of your prayers or all your prayers were unanswered? you will ask? Does God listen to me? why cant HE hear my cries? why everybody is against me? why am I still agonizing in misery and lack? Did God created poor people? am I destined to be poor and hated by everyone? These are the endless questions humanity often confuse due to no answers can satisfy there misery and longingness. And this are the following question we need to consider for understanding that God indeed answers our prayers..
It is a direct revelation in the bible that God said: "Ask you will receive, Seek and you will find and knock amd it will be open to you".. But why can't I received anything from God in my prayers? the answer is simple. Let me first ask you first? when you ask God for something, Did you seek? and when you seek, Did you seek it with all your heart? The reason why we dont receive is because we don't seek. And the reason why we don't find even we had seek is because we don't seek it with all our hearts. Many says that God's promises will never change, of course it will never change but what about if you change? Can you still claim God's promises if you willfully do what is evil? of course not until you repent. It is very clear in the bible that Many are willing to kill because they don't get what they want. They don't get what they prayed because their motive is bad.
The bible is very clear that God don't listen to sinners not until they repent and turn from their wrongdoings. Many people ask God or blame God due to their unanswered prayers but did they ever ask themselves if they are faithful to God? God said: " If you abide in me and my words abide in you, you can ask anything in my name and it will be given to you".. The question we should ask everytime we don't received answered prayers is this: "Do I abide in God? does God's word abide in me? if you don't have right answers to your questions, then why be surprise if you dont receive answers to your prayers.
The Lord is generous for those who are also generous. The Lord is sincere for those who are faithful yet even if we are sinners God is stil very patient in waiting for us to come back on Him and experience His Blessings; but we need to change first throught repentance. Make a sincere repentance then expect a blessings from God. God is not very interested in blessing but mre of changing or transforming you cause if you are not a change man, can you handle well His blessings? of course not! and God won't give you a blessing if you can't handle it for example wealth. If you don't know how to handle worldly wealth, How can God entrust you TRUE RICHEST? Therefore, you must be trustworhty first before getting a share of God's blessing for you to handle it well. You must learn to faithful with small things so that God will entrust you GREAT THINGS. for why will God entrust you great things if you aren't faithful in small things??
This are the following things we need to consider before expecting God to answer our prayers. There are many reasons why God don't answer our prayers. First is that it is not good for us. Many great man in the bible history who receives great blessings such as Wealth, Power, Might, fame and Influence yet they use their blessings to destroy people and disobey God for their own selfish desire like for instance King Saul in the book of Samuel where He used his power trying to kill David because of Jealousy and Fear that one day David will be king. Another is we all know how King herod, during the time of Jesus, when He ordered all male child less than two years old be killed because of his greed where he don't want anyone to succeed him as king except his sons. Many records especially in our world history how Hitler ordered the summarry killings of the entire town of jewish people. Therefore these people did not honor God with their blessings of Fame, Power & Wealth. you can also notice many people in walks of life, are beginning to change their behavior when they become rich and powerful. Thas why it is very obvious that God is still molding you to become Holy and Faithful before He answers your Prayers. The bible says: "I will grant the desires of your heart if you DELIGHT in me, says the Lord of host".. Now, do you delight yourself in the Lord? God wants to give you everything in life as He said it in the bible: "If you humble yourself and obey all my commandments, I will give you HONOR, WEALTH & LONG LIFE"..(Proverb:22:4)
The question we have to consider what God said in Proverb 22:4 is this: "Are you humble?" Do you follow His commandments? Well, if you are guilty in answering, why should you expect God to give you Honor, wealth, and Long life?? This are simple common sense we need to realize before complaining why God don't answers our prayers. And why are we suffering today? You better ask youself why? Never question God because the misery you have is not God's fault. Then who else faults is it? Its self-explanatory.
Another issue why God don't answers our prayers is because we don't pray with forgiveness in our heart. The
Bible says: "Before you bring your gift to the altar and remembers that you have wrong somebody, leave your belongings in the altar then go to that person who you need to settle some dispute thru reconciling then come back to the altar and offer your gifts to God".. It is very clear that we can never offer any sacrifices in worship or both in prayer if we won't reconcile first with our brothers whom we wrong and ask for forgiveness. We need to ask forgiveness to whom we offended before asking God our needs. No wonder why you don't have what you need because you don't ask forgiveness first to others. You say that I forgive and I ask forgiveness straight to God. WRONG! The bible says: " you should go to that person whom you hurt or cause hurt then reconcile before asking something from God otherwise don't expect God to listen to you. One way for you to reconcile is to give a call, text, greeting cards or personal appearance. We need to be humble before the Lord cause the bible says: "God gives grace to the humble but opposes the proud"..
So, dont be surprise if God opposes you.
The bible also said: "What you sow is what you reap" God is also checking if you are a generous person; Meaning, The amount you give to others is also the amount you will received. This is the principle of Sowing & Reaping. The bible says in the book of Malachi 3:10 "We should not fail to bring the tithes and offering to the house of God then God says:"Test me, if I will not open the floodgates of heaven and pour out my blessings where you no longer have enough room to contain all the blessings I will give you"..Take note that God says: TRY ME?...
Lastly, Allow me to conclude that there are many resons why God don't answers our prayers and I believe I already explain many in what I wrote in the afformentioned and the best ways for us to realized is that there are various reasons why we suffer and don't recieved answered prayers. I want you to know that God can never commit mistake and God always knows what is best for you. The bible said: "There is always a time for everthing, a time for harvest and blessings; everything sometimes don't happened quick because it is not yet God's time. The bible conclude that God has an appointed time and once that time will come, it won't delay and everthing will become beautiful".. Let us always maintain the attitute to wait in HIS TIME. For God's time is perfect. and while waiting for the harvest or the perfect timing of God, let us start to change our life and be fruitful so that God will answers all our prayers and even the things we had not include in our prayers will be given by God to us as well....JUST Wait!
The Bible says:" God knows our needs even before we ask it".. Jesus Christ said:"Look at the birds in the sky, they don't labor yet my father in heaven feeds them; how much more of you, for you are worth more than birds to me"..
God said:"My plans for you is not to harm you, but to Prosper you and give you hope and a future"..( Jeremiah 29:11)
God said I came to give you life and it's fullness"..(John 10:10) we need to realized that JESUS did not came to bring poverty but Prosperity; Not Sickness but Healing; Not suffering but Happiness; and not even death but HE raise the death to life"..
God Loves YOU!!

Can you still Praise God in times of Hardship and Troubles? How can you praise God despite of pain & sufferings?

Is it Still Possible to Praise God If life does not makes sense to you? How will you Praise God if life does not makes sense to you?
Dear Friends & fellow Christian Brothers in Christ:
GREETINGS!
I am Rick Pila, 38 years old on the 25th of July 2007. I am Presently addressing to all that Praising God during happy moments is very easy to do but how about when you lost your Job? When one of your loveones dies? if you where not receiving answers to your prayers? Or during the time where God is silent everytime you pray? How can you praise God if life is a disaster to you? How about if life does not makes sense? This are the following questions we need to consider in Praising God.As you know, The bible says that we should not live by sight but by faith which means that you have to Honor God and give Him praises not only in times of harvest;meaning, let us not praise God only when things go well such as having Nice house, Cars, financial breakthrought and successful job. But rather we should praise God because of Who He is? and What He is?..The greatest sacrifice we can offer God is when we give Him praises in tough times. We should realized that God never change no matter what situation we are facing. Because it is very high form of worship when you praise God in times of toubles and sufferings. It really touch the heart of God when He sees you praising Him despite of pain nad problems.It is evident in the bible, how God tested Job by many troubles such as losing his children, wealth and eventually his health yet he says that: "The Lord gave and the Lord take it away and let the name of the Lord be praise".. Job's trust in the Lord is continues and unwavering and at the end, God gave job back all what He had taken away and gave it back to job with multiplicity.. You have seen how God tested moses when his family disown him by seling him into slavery until he was accused falsely by his master's wife of raped and molestation and then he was thrown in prison without due cause and burden of proof and still He trusted the Lord that He will not leave him nor abandon so, at the end he was release in prison and made him the second in command in egypt..It is apparently bogus that God will never leaves nor forsake us whatever situation we are facing today because God's promise of Prosperity and success for us is marked in the book of Jeremiah 29:11 will always remains the same and will never change. So Moses forgave all his brothers who betrayed him by selling him into slavery;and because of this God raises him up and made all his brother be subject for his anger yet he still forgives them all despite the damage and pain his brothers had cause him.Its a perfect example how moses trusted the Lord inspite of Hardship & Suffering. and it is very clear how the Lord rewarded him at the end..The lesson we can learn from the story of Moses, Job and the rest of God's followers who has done His will in all ages is clear that we too must realized that the sufferings we are facing now can never compare to the success and victory God has prepared if we will just trust Him even in times of Hardship and sufferings. The bible said:"If we will be humble and fear God, He will give us ,Wealth, Honor & Long Life"..proverbs 22:4; therefore, let us give praises to God no matter what we feel or state of life cause God will never keep His promises for those who do His will. The bible also said:"If you remain in me and my words remain in you, you can ask anything in my name, and it shall be given to you".. From now on, let us all put our trust in the Lord and never rely on what you think you know because God can give us more than we could ever expect.At the moment, I am enjoying my life trusting the Lord because I am not thingking of the present pain and hardship but rather I focus on the time that the Lord will fulfill His pormises, and that is: "We will be Prosperous and successful with brighter future and hope to face forward"..God Loves You!!Rodrigo "rick" Pila

Freedom from Vices & Confusion(Part One)
Drinking & Smoking is a sin in many ways especially if you cannot handle it and most of all it changes your perceptions while becoming tipsy and also because people will stumble if they will see you smoking & drinking specially for pastors and Church leaders..Let your life shines toward man so that they will see ur good example"..besides its dangerous for your health"..
GREETINGS! "May the blessings of the Lord flows into ur life today like a spring of living waters in the rivers that never runs dry forever"..
First of all, I am Rodrigo "Rick" Pila,
I was so touch to know that I was talking to a prophet of God in the chat room and Honestly,I really wanted to go to the west and testify my life to everyone. I really don't know how will God help me thru you but I trust the it will be HIS will for me. I would like to proposed you if I can go for mission exposure with you then anytime as the Spirit leads, I would like to share my victory over vices & worldliness. I am even planning to write a book about my "New Found Freedom in Christ in overcoming Alcoholism".. I love my testimony to be aired in your ministries and even to the world especially if God's will that we will meet in the future. I wanted to travel around the world and declaring How God healed and set me free from Alcohol & Fear & Worldliness as well as many vices in order to advance His Kingdom for world mission. Honestly, I am not in the financial position to afford spending for the mission and I am looking if somebody who is willing enough to help me to go for world mission; you know, I had several experiences giving life testimony by exhortation in different countless occasions but at present, I find my church has no availability to arrange me for such testimony but I am doing it in my own personal ministry; and one is here now that I am communicating you in the internet out of faith. Let me share you how I encounter the Lord in my life specifically the book I read by a Filipino magician & spiritualist who was famous in the entertainment Industry but was called by the Lord to exposed the work of satan who holds him in bondage for ten years in fooling people with his magic;and also the book entitle "Bondage breaker"; I believe there is a great similarity with your exposure about satans lies & deception to the book I read about this former magician. But before going farther. I would like to incorporate my experienced how Satan harassed me for 20 years in relation to your book and of the former magician who turns now to be a pastor by virtue of God's call.
I am Rodrigo "rick" Pila, 37 years old, married,filipino; presently jobless but waiting for my visa as I applied for Saudi Arabia. I still don't have any clue as of now what God has in store for me in the future but the beauty is that I am not bothered while waiting as compared to many who by waiting becomes irritable & eventually blaming God for the delayed reply of God; worst cursing God for their answered petitions & prayers. Satan can use his tactics by injecting your thoughts that God will never answer your prayers which is a lie. I accepted God in the Catholic Charismatic at 18 yrs. old; although it was a great experienced to be part of God's family but satan had played an important role in my conversion using the catholic faith or way of believe. That is: "In catholic, drinking & smoking is okay as long as done in moderation. This so-called doctrine holds me bondage for the past 20 years in alcohol until I got addicted in it early January 17, 2005. Many times I felt down and depressed due to drinking but Satan always remind me that it is okay to drink but don't get drunk. So, every time I drink, I can't help but end up drunked;but Satan will insist saying try & drink again cause you failed to drink moderate but in truth & in fact I can never be moderate cause if I will drink few beers, Satan will control me to drink more until I woke up in the morning feeling as if beaten by a poisonous snake. It is apparent in the bible that God doesn't want us to be drunkard. God also command us not to drink wine but be filled with the holy spirit. However the catholic insist that drinking is okay. It is clear as day that the catholic church is giving false teaching that leads millions to go astray and I am one of those victims. When I was Baptized by water in the alliance church on 2002, I did rebaptized on 2006 due to the fact that my water baptism in 2002 was not done by faith not until I was baptized again under the Jurisdiction of the Victory Christian Fellowship ( Every Nation Churches ).. Sometime in June 2006, My wife received a phone call from a long time friend from manila who was staying in Singapore saying that they are on a mission together with Singaporeans missionaries asking my wife if they can stay overnight in our residence in zamboanga city. My wife was first hesitant cause I am the one managing finances. But when I heard them talking, I immediately discerned that it will be a blessing to welcome & feed God's anointed so I told my wife that we will going to treat them like special guest. After a month, the local missionary who went together with those Singaporeans contact me that there will be a missionary from Colorado, USA who has a vision to preach in Mindanao, and asking if I can help them look for churches to welcome the preacher; at first I was rejected by some churches but I did not lose hope until I was able to arrange a venue by contacting a Chinese friend to help me advance God's kingdom by providing what is needed so it was very successful. Many people were blessed including myself. I still were able to sleep in a normal routine of 8 hours or more a day. So, I was very happy; don't know what to do especially my urges in drinking beers were all gone. I just felt that every time I woke up every morning; every time I sleep I night & every time I pause and think, there is always peace of mind I experience until now. I just end up totally free. What God said in the Bible has just finally fulfilled on my behalf that "where the spirit of the Lord is, there is FREEDOM. Jesus also said: "Come to me all of you who are tired & burden for I will give you rest".. By this time, I am very much on fire declaring God's miracle to my life. I felt more complete especially when Jesus set me free from worry, discontentment & future insecurity. My mind is loaded with God's promise that "His plans for me is to prosper me, not to harm me, but give me a hope; a future. God also said: No matter what situation you are in today, don't lose hope cause He knows what we need".. & God exhorted that He will not leave you nor abandon you...This promises is what makes me alive; joyful at present. I believe God will provide all the desires of my heart in HIS time as I delight myself in HIM. This is all for know. Please reply as the spirit leads..

GREETINGS! "May the blessings of the Lord flows into ur life today like a spring of living waters in the rivers that never runs dry forever"..
First of all, I am Rodrigo "Rick" Pila,
I was so touch to know that I was talking to a prophet of God in the chat room and Honestly,I really wanted to go to the west and testify my life to everyone. I really don't know how will God help me thru you but I trust the it will be HIS will for me. I would like to proposed you if I can go for mission exposure with you then anytime as the Spirit leads, I would like to share my victory over vices & worldliness. I am even planning to write a book about my "New Found Freedom in Christ in overcoming Alcoholism".. I love my testimony to be aired in your ministries and even to the world especially if God's will that we will meet in the future. I wanted to travel around the world and declaring How God healed and set me free from Alcohol & Fear & Worldliness as well as many vices in order to advance His Kingdom for world mission. Honestly, I am not in the financial position to afford spending for the mission and I am looking if somebody who is willing enough to help me to go for world mission; you know, I had several experiences giving life testimony by exhortation in different countless occasions but at present, I find my church has no availability to arrange me for such testimony but I am doing it in my own personal ministry; and one is here now that I am communicating you in the internet out of faith. Let me share you how I encounter the Lord in my life specifically the book I read by a Filipino magician & spiritualist who was famous in the entertainment Industry but was called by the Lord to exposed the work of satan who holds him in bondage for ten years in fooling people with his magic;and also the book entitle "Bondage breaker"; I believe there is a great similarity with your exposure about satans lies & deception to the book I read about this former magician. But before going farther. I would like to incorporate my experienced how Satan harassed me for 20 years in relation to your book and of the former magician who turns now to be a pastor by virtue of God's call.
I am Rodrigo "rick" Pila, 37 years old, married,filipino; presently jobless but waiting for my visa as I applied for Saudi Arabia. I still don't have any clue as of now what God has in store for me in the future but the beauty is that I am not bothered while waiting as compared to many who by waiting becomes irritable & eventually blaming God for the delayed reply of God; worst cursing God for their answered petitions & prayers. Satan can use his tactics by injecting your thoughts that God will never answer your prayers which is a lie. I accepted God in the Catholic Charismatic at 18 yrs. old; although it was a great experienced to be part of God's family but satan had played an important role in my conversion using the catholic faith or way of believe. That is: "In catholic, drinking & smoking is okay as long as done in moderation. This so-called doctrine holds me bondage for the past 20 years in alcohol until I got addicted in it early January 17, 2005. Many times I felt down and depressed due to drinking but Satan always remind me that it is okay to drink but don't get drunk.
