A NEW Series for 2007 ... "Solid Rock Foundation" SERIES.

We are called by Jesus to be in Obedience to His Word. This is the key to a life well founded. Its not about Bible Knowledge ... it is about Bible Knowledge obeyed and applied in the spirit of submission and joy.

THE MESSAGE BIBLE Translation ... on Matthew 7 21-23

"Knowing the correct password—saying 'Master, Master,' for instance— isn't going to get you anywhere with me. What is required is serious obedience—doing what my Father wills. I can see it now—at the Final Judgment thousands strutting up to me and saying, 'Master, we preached the Message, we bashed the demons, our God-sponsored projects had everyone talking.' And do you know what I am going to say? 'You missed the boat. All you did was use me to make yourselves important. You don't impress me one bit. You're out of here.' 24-25"These words I speak to you are not incidental additions to your life, homeowner improvements to your standard of living. They are foundational words, words to build a life on. If you work these words into your life, you are like a smart carpenter who built his house on solid rock. Rain poured down, the river flooded, a tornado hit—but nothing moved that house. It was fixed to the rock. 26-27"But if you just use my words in Bible studies and don't work them into your life, you are like a stupid carpenter who built his house on the sandy beach. When a storm rolled in and the waves came up, it collapsed like a house of cards." 28-29When Jesus concluded his address, the crowd burst into applause. They had never heard teaching like this. It was apparent that he was living everything he was saying—quite a contrast to their religion teachers! This was the best teaching they had ever heard.

As we choose to build this year 2007 ... the Word of God known, applied in the spirit of obedience would be The KEY!

FINISHERS reaching the FINISH LINE Every Week!

As of November 26, 2006 we have 32 FINISHERS in our ALOT for A LOT Campaign at His Life. This started 2 years ago as we called people to PRAY, LISTEN, SACRIFICE and be GENEROUS every Thanksgiving time for the purpose of buying a Church Lot Facility at His Life.

This SPIRITUAL GROWTH CAMPAIGN is more than a "FUND RAISING" Campaign. In fact it is technically described as a "GIVING" CAMPAIGN.

WHAT's THE DIFFERENCE?
In a Fund Raiser, people are exchanging money for a service, item, product or etc. In a Giving Campaign ... people are challenged to listen, pray, see and know the vision and GIVE!
That's it -- people are called to GIVE! To give with cheer, joy and thanks.

Here's the 43 individuals that made the FINISH LINE ...

PREPARING to BELIEVE

Here’s our SERIES for
September till October 2006

Lets GET Ready for a NEW SERIES
A NEW SESON ...

Why this SERIES on Faith.
1) Because Faith pleases God.
2) Because Faith is needed today.
3) Because the Righteous shall live by Faith.

Overview
Our MAIN Verse: Daniel 11:32b
“…but the people who do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits.” (KJV21st)

> People – there’s a Group …
> know their God – there’s a God …
> be strong – there will be Strength in the midst of opposition
> do exploits – there will be tremendous activity because of FAITH and the PROMISES of God … His Name will be Displayed, Glorified and Honored!

In another Translation:
“The people who know their God will stand firm and take action.”
TJB, NAS, Moffat

Exploits MEAN – mighty feats, great accomplishments, and heroic victories!

Im preparing to BELIEVE!
Im must believe
I am a BELIEVER and not a DOUBTER
God can do mighty things through me …

PRIORITY DATES:
September 17 - LAUNCH
September 24 - 1st Week
October 1 - 2nd Week
October 8 - 3rd Week
October 15 - 4th Week
October 22 - CELEBRATION SUNDAY!

The Uniqueness about the
SEPTEMBER – OCTOBER Series …

> We will have a PRAYER FESTS every Saturdays during our Consecration Nights.
> We will have “NETWORKS Sunday”.
> We will LAUNCH – the Young Professionals by Network this September.
> We will RE-LAUNCH The Kings Men Network with a Guest from Manila by October.
> We will have a Communion Week during Week 1.
> We will start a NEW Sunday Celebration at the LOT Site … probably an 8am and a 4pm Meeting.
> We will have our Consecration NIGHTS at the LOT Site … Saturday 5pm.
> We will finalize our HLM Christian Academy Calendar this year till 2007.

Here’s the IDEA: Going BACK to Daniel 11:32b
"The prophet Daniel foretold a period of great hardship and spiritual darkness that would
permeate a generation known as “the time of the end.”

Yet, in the midst of the darkness that would cover the earth and deep darkness the people, there would be a people who “KNOW THEIR GOD AND shall be strong and carry out great exploits. (Daniel 11:32)

Very often we emphasize the latter portion of this verse concerning the manifestation of mighty exploits and power. Residing within many is the yearning desire to do mighty exploits and witness great demonstrations of the Spirit and power.
However, the most important aspect of this notable prophetic promise is to KNOW HIM. To know our God intimately and affectionately and through that relationship do mighty exploits to His Glory." -- COPIED

Preparing to BELIEVE involves …
1) Dedication.
2) Determination.
3) Declarations.

It takes a can-do attitude.
It takes a willingness to shake off past failures and defeat and simply be determined to try again and again until you succeed. And that's exactly what it takes for you to be a champion in life!

All of us have made mistakes in the past.
Maybe your emotions have been injured or you have experienced a devastating setback in a relationship, your health, or a job.
Regardless of your past defeats, there is good news for you – you are not disqualified from competing in the race of life.

God has great things in store for you and your best days are just ahead.
You may have missed plan A for your life, but God has a Plan B, a Plan C, a Plan D – all the way to Plan Z.
God promises to help you get across the finish line and onto the winner's platform.

> There are people who KNEW God in the Bible and Succeeded!
> God’s People in the Bible are called “Believers”
> Hebrews 11 is known as the “Hall of Faith”

> A Call to PRAY BIG.
> A Call to Think Big.
> A Call to Believe Big.

The gospel of Matthew 9:29 declares, "Because of your faith, you will be heard."
Your life is going to be in proportion to how greatly you believe.

Believe little, and you get a little life.
Believe weak and you get a weak life.
Believe fear, and you get a life of fear.
Believe sickness, and you get a sick life.
Believe big and you get a big life.

Jesus said,
"Anything is possible for someone who has faith!" (Mark 9:23). Which means what?
That the person who believes is going to get everything he wants? No, it doesn't say that.
It means that if you believe big, you move things out of the realm of the impossible into the realm of the possible.

Christianity is
the FAITH of the incredible,
the FAITH of the astonishing,
the FAITH of the breathless.
You bring to yourself what you BELIEVE.

THOT:
When uncontrolled, your mind can be damaging to you but when controlled, it can develop unlimited power.
Think defeat and you are bound to feel defeated.
But practice thinking confident thoughts, and you will develop such a strong sense of capacity that regardless of what difficulties arise you will be able to overcome them.
Fear is the most powerful of all thoughts with one exception, and that one exception is faith.

LET’s GET READY to BELIEVE …
LET’s GET READY to PUT OUR TRUST, OUR HOPE and OUR LIFE in CHRIST!

Random Pictures of August

The LANDGRAF's visit to the house as they came over to Bacolod City. Goodies and lots of PASALUBONGS were opened the 1st Day of their visit. You see here Mr Rainer Landgraf, Manang Binggot, Isabel and Nicole all from Germany :-)

You also see me at a Resto ... a picture taken by Joshua as we were trying a New Pizza in town. We enjoyed a Big American Pizza that afternoon ... courtesy of Tita Ging Ramos.

The 1st Picture above is Trina fitting a Disney eyeglass from SM-Iloilo.

I Spoke at North Negros College 27th Foundation ...

Last August 21, I went alone ... driving my car to North Negros College. It was a celebration of 27 years of history. Not only that it was also a celebration of their growing ministry to the students of North Negros. They have a group called STUDENT BLAST! A powerful ministry giving priority and value to each individual student. They call themselves CHAMPIONS! Wow! True ... because in God's eyes we are!

I pray for their success and influence to grow, representing Jesus as they move on with His Power! Their theme was: "Exceeding Your Dreams". I told them to go beyond "their own DREAM" to what God has for them! I encouraged them to go for God's DREAM for them! Many (70 to 80 percent of the people in attendance ... went to the front to pray and honor God's Word in their lives).

Note: These pictures were taken from their new 3 Hectare Facility.

Pictures from SAN CARLOS City PART 2

These are the 3 Christian Church Facilities we saw at San Carlos. UCCP has been there for quiet a long time already. The Bible Baptist Group will be celebrating more than 30 years of ministry there as well. While the Baptist Conference of San Carlos is building a new building to accomodate numerical growth as well.

One pastor said ... we need to have more church groups come to HARVEST the entire city for the LORD!

Would you like to go? Would you like to send someone? CONNECT with me - pastor jr here :-)

Pictures from SAN CARLOS City PART 1

The following pictures were taken during our (Trix & me), quick tour and look at San Carlos City. We boarded our bus at 6:20am and reached the beautiful city of San Carlos after 2 hours and 15 minutes! It was an entertaining trip due to the beauty of the mountain ranges from Don Salvador all the way to San Carlos.

I know and believe in my heart that a harvest will be made possible in this City in due time. There are around 5 Colleges (small and medium) ... a number of Christian groups (averaging less than a hundred) and an opportunity to reach other towns and places from San Carlos point.

Going Bananas

Bananas... This is very interesting.

After Reading THIS, you'll NEVER look at a banana in the same way again ...

Bananas. Containing three natural sugars - sucrose, fructose and glucose combined with fiber, a banana gives an instant, sustained and substantial boost of energy.
Research has proven that just two bananas provide enough energy for a strenuous 90-minute workout. No wonder the banana is the number one fruit with the world's leading athletes.
But energy isn't the only way a banana can help us keep fit. It can also help overcome or prevent a substantial number of illnesses and conditions, making it a must to add to our daily diet.

• Depression: According to a recent survey undertaken by MIND amongst people suffering from depression, many felt much better after eating a banana. This is because bananas contain tryptophan, a type of protein that the body converts into serotonin, known to make you relax, improve your mood and generally make you feel happier. PMS: Forget the pills - eat a banana. The vitamin B6 it contains regulates blood glucose levels, which can affect your mood.
  
• Anemia: High in iron, bananas can stimulate the production of haemoglobin in the blood and so helps in cases of anemia.
  
• Blood Pressure: This unique tropical fruit is extremely high in potassium yet low in salt, making it the perfect to beat blood pressure. So much so, the US Food and Drug Administration has just allowed the banana industry to make official claims for the fruit's ability to reduce the risk of blood pressure and stroke.
  
• Brain Power: 200 students at aTwickenham (Middlesex) school were helped through their exams this year by eating bananas at breakfast, break, and lunch in a bid to boost their brain power. Research has shown that the potassium-packed fruit can assist learning by making pupils more alert.
  
• Constipation: High in fiber, including bananas in the diet can help restore normal bowel action, helping to overcome the problem without resorting to laxatives.
  
• Hangovers: One of the quickest ways of curing a hangover is to make a banana milkshake, sweetened with honey. The banana calms the stomach and, with the help of the honey, builds up depleted blood sugar levels, while the milk soothes and re-hydrates your system.
  
• Heartburn: Bananas have a natural antacid effect in the body, so if you suffer from heartburn, try eating a banana for soothing relief.
  
• Morning Sickness: Snacking on bananas between meals helps to keep blood sugar levels up and avoid morning sickness.
  
• Mosquito bites: Before reaching for the insect bite cream, try rubbing the affected area with the inside of a banana skin. Many people find it amazingly successful at reducing swelling and irritation.
  
• Nerves: Bananas are high in B vitamins that help calm the nervous system.
  Overweight and at work? Studies at the Institute of Psychology in Austria found pressure at work leads to gorging on comfort food like chocolate and crisps. Looking at 5,000 hospital patients, researchers found the most obese were more likely to be in high-pressure jobs. The report concluded that, to avoid panic-induced food cravings, we need to control our blood sugar levels by snacking on high carbohydrate foods every two hours to keep levels steady.
  
• Ulcers: The banana is used as the dietary food against intestinal disorders because of its soft texture and smoothness. It is the only raw fruit that can be eaten without distress in over-chronicler cases. It also neutralizes over-acidity and reduces irritation by coating the lining of the stomach.
  
• Temperature control: Many other cultures see bananas as a "cooling" fruit that can lower both the physical and emotional temperature of expectant mothers. In Thailand, for example, pregnant women eat bananas to ensure their baby is born with a cool temperature.
  Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD): Bananas can help SAD sufferers because they contain the natural mood enhancer tryptophan.
  
• Smoking: Bananas can also help people trying to give up smoking. The B6, B12 they contain, as well as the potassium and magnesium found in them, help the body recover from the effects of nicotine withdrawal.
  
• Stress: Potassium is a vital mineral, which helps normalize the heartbeat, sends oxygen to the brain and regulates your body's water balance. When we are stressed, our metabolic rate rises, thereby reducing our potassium levels. These can be rebalanced with the help of a high-potassium banana snack.
  
• Strokes: According to research in "The New England Journal of Medicine, "eating bananas as part of a regular diet can cut the risk of death by strokes by as much as 40%!
  
• Warts: Those keen on natural alternatives swear that if you want to kill off a wart, take a piece of banana skin and place it on the wart, with the yellow side out. Carefully hold the skin in place with a plaster or surgical tape!
  So, a banana really is a natural remedy for many ills. When you compare it to an apple, it has four times the protein, twice the carbohydrate, three times the phosphorus, five times the vitamin A and iron, and twice the other vitamins and minerals. It is also rich in potassium and is one of the best value foods around.
  So maybe its time to change that well-known phrase so that we say, "A banana a day keeps the doctor away!"

PS : Bananas must be the reason monkeys are so happy all the time!

1st Week mostly in Iloilo
